Signal Advance, Inc. (SIGL) Harga saham (USD)

Signal Advance, Inc. (SAI), an engineering consulting firm, has developed Signal Advance Technology (SAT), a proprietary methodology that can significantly speed up the detection of different types of electrical signals from a host of sensors. This technology can offset inherent signal detection and processing delays and potentially provide an overall net temporal advance (a negative delay). SAT can also be applied in conjunction with other signal processing and response improvement methods to enhance system performance. Deployment of this technology may result in entirely new control or interventional approaches. SAT was extensively tested using a range of simulated signals as well as bioelectric signals (specifically ECG's or human heartbeats) in dissertation study (Hymel CM, Application of Signal Advance Technology to Electrophysiology, University of Texas Health Science Center- Houston, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, August 2010). A peer-reviewed article summarizing the technology, the study results, and a host of potential SAT applications was published as a feature article in the IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine (3rd Qtr., 2011) providing technical validation. SAI was awarded first place in the 2011 Goradia Innovation Prize competition for innovative technology (Houston Technology Center Names 2011 Goradia Winners, Houston Business Journal, Oct. 6 2011). Selection criteria included 1) commercial potential of the technology, 2) soundness of the business plan, 3) potential for job growth within the region and 4) likelihood of significant long-term success. The company has identified whole classes of electrical signals from various sensors that operate within a favorable frequency range for application of SAT, along with a host of potential licensing targets. The markets/industries include biomedical (for example cardiac rhythm management (CRM) and neurostimulation) as well as general commercial, industrial, transportation and military applications (examples include industrial process control, alarm/detection systems, vehicular/flight control, and targeting/weaponry). Revenues are generated by: 1) licensing intellectual property to product manufacturers, 2) consulting with licensees on implementation of the technology in target applications, and 3) participating in joint ventures. SAI management includes entrepreneurs experienced in consulting, engineering, physics and scientific R&D, medical device development, regulatory approvals, intellectual property protection, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, taking firms public and start-ups and development stage company management. SAI's advisory board includes specialists in intellectual property (IP) protection, business development and finance as well as scientists and engineers with expertise in a broad range of potential SAT application areas.
