Biophan and New Scale Announce SQUIGGLE Motor Named to EE Times' Top Ten ''Most Significant'' Products List.


ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. , and New Scale Technologies, Inc., a developer of miniature ceramic motors, have announced that the SQUIGGLE See tilde.  (R) motor was named an "ULTIMATE PRODUCT" in the June 6 issue of EE Times. The SQUIGGLE motor is a linear motor with nanometer precision, made of piezoelectric The property of certain crystals that causes them to produce voltage when a mechanical pressure is applied to them such as sound vibrations. This technique is used to build crystal microphones, phonograph cartridges and strain gauges, all of which turn mechanical movement into voltage.  ceramics and other non-magnetic materials, making it safe and compatible for use with Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures.  (MRI 1.

) for both implantable and robotic applications.

EE Times is a weekly technical journal read by more than 150,000 design and development engineers and technical managers. It is consistently chosen as the best-read and most preferred publication in the industry.

To create the ULTIMATE PRODUCTS report, the magazine's technical editors selected up to 10 of the most significant products introduced during the quarter, in each of seven categories. They then invited selected readers of EE Times and eeProductCenter to rate these products on "technical significance" and "likelihood of use."

The SQUIGGLE motor was voted # 4 for technical significance in the Interconnects, Packaging and Electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history).  products (IP&E) section of the ULTIMATE PRODUCTS 2.1 report (http://www.eeproductcenter.com/ultimate/2.1)

One EE Times reader commented; "As an engineer in the MRI field, I could see the SQUIGGLE motor becoming an integral part of MRI-compatible devices."

SQUIGGLE motors are available for immediate delivery from New Scale Technologies and from Biophan, New Scale's exclusive distributor of SQUIGGLE motors for medical applications.

About New Scale Technologies

New Scale Technologies, Inc. (www.newscaletech.com) makes miniature ceramic motors that enable our customers to create smaller products. New Scale's patented SQUIGGLE motors are bigger than MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s.  devices but smaller than conventional motors. New Scale generates precise movement using ultrasonic vibrations, which makes our piezoelectric motors powerful, precise, simple, and compatible with extreme environments.
