First Point Scientific, Inc. (FPSI) has developed novel concepts up to the point that they are fully demonstrated and then either manufactures and markets equipment directly or licenses the technology to larger companies that are leaders in the marketplace for full-scale manufacturing and marketing. In some cases FPSI serves as an OEM supplier to other companies. FPSI has expertise in the following technologies: 1. Positron beam systems - FPSI has an extensive program to develop technology and products based on the accumulation of positrons in traps. 2. Pulsed power - FPSI has developed an array of all-solid-state pulse modulators based on its patented Miniature Inductive Adder concept. 3. Neutron generators - FPSI has developed a sealed generator of ~2.5 MeV neutrons that has a demonstrated operating lifetime of 3,000 hours at output flux of 108 neutrons/sec. 4. Compact high voltage power supplies - The Company has developed compact 100 kV power supplies and supplies with floating decks. 5. Novel high voltage (up to 300 kV) electron guns - FPSI personnel have developed both linear (up to 5X150 cm2) and cylindrical (radially inward into a 7 inch-i.d. duct) electron guns operating at beam voltages of up to 175 kV. 6. Linear induction accelerators - FPSI has developed a compact (4 inch diameter) accelerator with a beam energy of 1 MeV. 7. Radiation processing - The Company has performed several projects involving electron beam polymerization of monomers to produce novel coatings and structures. 8. Lasers - FPSI developed and demonstrated a 0.5 J/pulse, 30 Hz far infrared laser operating at a wavelength of 152 µm. This laser was pumped by an E-beam ionized, 30 J/pulse CO2 laser operating in a single longitudinal mode. 9. Oil well logging instruments - FPSI has completed several projects to develop x-ray and neutron generators for use in wire line and MWD logging instruments. 10. Air pollution control - FPSI has performed several projects to develop both E-beam and pulsed corona discharge concepts for air pollution control applications. 11. Advanced Mass Spectrometry - FPSI has extensive experience in a variety of mass spectrometry techniques.
