Branford, CT: Anchor Science LLC announces progress in developing
technology for printing high conductivity inks without
high-temperature curing. This patent-pending technology is employable
for entirely printable antennas, physical, chemical and biological
sensors, and RFID tags. Anchor Science device prototypes detect
temperature and humidity. Bio- and chemical sensors are planned for
the near future. A wearable health monitor consisting of a positioning
device and wireless, unobtrusive sensors has potential for protecting
military personnel, police, firefighters, pilots, drivers, athletes,
elderly, and individuals with chronic conditions. The low cost of our
