3. Co-inventorship & Co-founding Companies 2002: Nucleico Based on a molecular biology method developed in a corporate biotechnology lab, then spun-out to form a separate company. Investment & capital from another biotech firm, IP licensing fees paid to the originating company. Dissolved in 2005 due to competition with drop in cost for DNA sequencing. 2006: Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems (BATS) Based on a method for auto-aiming directional antennas to lower the risk of injury to technicians on communication towers. Optimized to auto-aim and maintain wireless network links with distant, moving vehicles and vessels. Over $3 million in sales in 2010. Founding technology developed and licensed from Purdue University 2008: Genomic Guidance Based on a method for electronically managing clinical genotyping (DNA testing) records in support of healthcare (software and data management). Exploring a second business component involving DNA testing (hardware). Founding technology developed and licensed from Purdue University.

7. BATS System combines hardware and embedded software to enable an auto-aiming antenna system (1)Signal strength and network performance variables are monitored by the system. (2)Algorithms utilize these variables, as well as GPS, gyro- sensors, and accelerometers to determine the optimal antenna position. (3)Motors control the azimuth and elevation of the antenna Over 300+ units installed worldwide. Major business sectors include marine oil and gas exploration, command & control, and emergency responders.
