PSFT, Powersafe Technology Corp., PSFT.PK
PSFT subsidiary Amplification Technologies Inc. (www.amplificationtechnologies.com) (ATI), is offering higher performance thermoelectrically cooled discrete amplification single photon counting solid state photodetectors. These photodetectors are mounted on a two stage thermoelectric cooler inside a hermetically sealed TO8 package and can be operated down to a temperature of -30oC.
The devices are available in both Si and InGaAs/InP technologies. As compared to TO5 devices, these TO8 packaged detectors have 10-30X lower dark current depending on operating temperature. The Si devices offer flat and wide spectral response in the visible light spectrum from 300 to 800 nm and significantly improved photon detection efficiency (PDE) of 30-40%. The InGaAs/InP devices offer spectral response in the near infrared spectrum from 1000 to 1700 nm, and modestly improved PDE in the range of 10-20%.
Jack Mayer, president of PSFT stated �we are very pleased with these improved parameters. Their achievement is a significant step in our goal of penetrating scientific instrumentation and range finding and tracking photodetection markets.�
These devices also offer very high gain >100,000, excess noise factor <1.1, response time <500ps,and photon counting capability. Unlike conventional Geiger-mode APDs, these detectors do not need an external quenching circuit and operate in a non-gated continuous mode. The technology is expected to allow the creation of linear and 2D arrays that combine: high gain, low noise factor and high speed operation using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques. These products are targeted at a broad range of applications including medical imaging, night vision, scientific and industrial instrumentation, flow cytometry, range finding, tracking, free space communication, spectroscopy, quantum key distribution (QKD), low light level imaging and high energy physics.

AQNM, Aquentium, Inc., AQNM.OB
Aquentium (OTCBB: AQNM) is a diversified company with an emphasis on green technologies. The company currently has interests in non-chemical sanitation equipment, alternative energy, waste-to-energy, water treatment, food safety, mining, building materials, affordable housing, re-deployable emergency housing, and recycling.
Aquentium announced their high speed ozone hand dryer as a solution for increased bathroom sanitation and bacteria and virus protection for restaurants. The hand dryer combines high speed drying with ozone in order to sanitize the air and keep the blowers inside the dryer free from bacteria. Most hand dryers have filters that build up with mold and bacteria, especially in high-humidity restrooms. However, the Aquentium hand dryer can effectively sanitize itself. You no longer have to worry about re-infecting people’s hands with a non-maintenanced, old-style hand dryer.
Ozone, long known as a protective shield between humans and the sun�s rays, has a very beneficial use in the food industry. Ozone is approved by the FDA and USDA for direct food contact as well as for sanitation purposes. Research has found that ozone enhances the freshness of fruits, vegetables, seafood and other food products. As an oxidizer, ozone is 51 times more powerful than chlorine and 3,000 times faster at killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is effective as a disinfectant at relatively low concentrations and does not leave toxic by-products similar to those related to chlorination.
AQNM�s ozone technology is designed for use with fruits and vegetables to not only extend shelf life but also improve food safety. The Aquentium ozone system requires no chemicals or hot water when the equipment is being used.
AQNM�s ozone equipment installed at any food processor, restaurant, or grocery store, would allow for all fresh fruits and vegetables to be washed thoroughly with ozone water and also help increase the grocery store, restaurant, or food processor�s profits
