A2 Technologies Announces Patent License Agreement with Boeing

. The license will permit A2 Technologies to utilize the patents in the application of A2’s portable Exoscan FTIR spectrometer for non destructive testing of aerospace composite and metal materials.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 06, 2009 -
A2 Technologies today announced they have entered into a patent license with the Boeing Company allowing the use of Boeing patents in association with the development, manufacture and sale of A2 Technologies’ FTIR Spectrometers.  The license will permit A2 Technologies to utilize the patents in the application of A2’s portable Exoscan FTIR spectrometer for non destructive testing of aerospace composite and metal materials.  Examples of the applications include the use of the Exoscan for measuring the affect of excessive heat on the chemical structure and strength of composite material, and the ability to non-destructively analyze the effectiveness of certain surface treatments in composite and metal materials.

Exoscan is a high performance FTIR that puts a laboratory quality spectrometer, literally in the palm of one’s hand.   With the addition of the Boeing patent licenses, A2 Technologies can now provide proven FTIR based analytical methods that will significantly increase the types of materials that can be analyzed in a variety of applications that are critical to aircraft manufacturing and maintenance.

Jon Frattaroli, CEO of A2 Technologies stated “we are excited to have entered into this licensing agreement with the Boeing Corporation.  Boeing is clearly the leading US aircraft manufacturing company.  They are also leaders in using FTIR spectroscopy in a wide range of aerospace applications, particularly related to composites and surface analysis.  But it is the combination of A2’s Exoscan spectrometer and the Boeing patents that will finally enable methods traditionally carried out in laboratories to be deployed into aerospace manufacturing facilities and maintenance hangers.”

Headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, A2 Technologies is taking FT-IR spectroscopy out of the lab and into the field. A2 Technologies manufacture and develops portable FT-IR spectrometers designed for the analysis requirements of the aerospace, petrochemical, environmental, metals and mining and other industries where there is a need for at-site, out-of-laboratory analysis.

A2’s principal owners pioneered out-of-laboratory FTIR measurements and today we continue to focus on bringing FTIR to more and more diverse applications and end users. Our systems are designed to enable experienced FTIR users to develop dedicated methods, and then for those methods to be deployed with our analyzers in out-of-lab environments.
