 BB:BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, has announced that David A. Glocker, Ph.D., a leader in thin film coating technologies and magnetron magnetron (măg`nĭtrŏn'), vacuum tube oscillator (see electron tube) that generates high-power electromagnetic signals in the microwave frequency range.  equipment, has joined the Biophan Scientific Advisory Board.

Dr. Glocker is President of Isoflux Incorporated, a manufacturer of magnetron equipment, which he founded in 1993 (http://www.isofluxinc.com). He has more than 20 years of experience in thin film research, development, and manufacturing and has taken a number of new processes from laboratory-scale feasibility studies through successful production. Dr. Glocker formerly headed a thin film R&D group for the Eastman Kodak Company.

In addition to serving on the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Glocker will work with Dr. Xingwu Wang, of Alfred University and a co-founder of Biophan subsidiary Nanoset LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

 image compatibility. Dr. Glocker will also assist in the transition of Dr. Wang's coating technologies from laboratory to commercial utilization in customer sites.

Dr. Glocker is an inventor or co-inventor of 25 U.S. patents and an author of more than 25 research papers in the areas of sputter source design, plasmas and plasma characteristics, sources of substrate heating in sputtering A popular method for adhering thin films onto a substrate. Sputtering is done by bombarding a target material with a charged gas (typically argon) which releases atoms in the target that coats the nearby substrate. It all takes place inside a magnetron vacuum chamber under low pressure. , and the control of sputtering processes and sputtered film properties. He also is the co-editor of The Handbook of Thin Film Process Technology, a major reference work in the field.

"We are extremely pleased to welcome Dr. Glocker to the Biophan Scientific Advisory Board," stated Michael Weiner, Biophan CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Our technologies are at the leading edge of advanced materials science and nanotechnology. Dave has proven experience working with large and small companies and in developing and implementing coating processes in large-scale production environments, such as Kodak's film business. Dave's unique processes for coating cylindrical objects will be particularly valuable in helping our customers who need to coat pacemaker, defibrillator defibrillator, device that delivers an electrical shock to the heart in order to stop certain forms of rapid heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). The shock changes a fibrillation to an organized rhythm or changes a very rapid and ineffective cardiac rhythm to a , and neurostimulator leads, guidewires, catheters, and stents, as well as other cylindrical objects to adopt our coating processes to their high speed manufacturing lines."
