TECHNOLOGY IS CONTINUALLY ADVANCING, HELPING US TO DO THINGS BETTER, FASTER, & MORE EFFICIENTLY. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST INNOVATIONS. IN A SEVERE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, WEAR & CORROSION ARE THE BIGGEST, MOST COSTLY SIDE EFFECTS. THE AEROSPACE, DEFENSE, & PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES ARE NO EXCEPTION, WHERE EVERY EFFORT TO DEAL WITH THESE CRITICAL ELEMENTS IS EXHAUSTED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR UNIQUE APPLICATIONS WHERE TRADITIONAL APPROACHES HAVE FALLEN SHORT. The industry is constantly looking for new & improved application techniques & materials to replace current dangerous ones such as chrome & [inaudible] plating. Existing techniques are no longer able to keep up with today's performance requirements. This provides opportunity for us to come in with our coatings. PARADIGM SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES PROVIDES EXPERTISE ON ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE & COST-EFFECTIVE MATERIAL SOLUTIONS. THE COMPANY IS A PRIVATELY-HELD TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR THAT DEVELOPS SPECIALIZED COATINGS & FILMS FOR DEFENSE & COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIES. P-S-T'S CORE TECHNOLOGY WAS INVENTED HERE IN THEIR STATE-OF-THE-ART RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FACILITY. The improvement of conventional technologies & development of alternative coating solutions to improve performance of critical components has always been of great importance to me & Paradigm Shift Technologies. We don’t make these things; we just make them work better. PST's reputation in the industry is they're a world leader & their Canadian company. We see them working with their allies & we want to join that whole family & work with our allies & work with Paradigm Shift. They've got the best technology out there now & we need to be on board with that for the Canadian Armed Forces. P-S-T'S ELECTROMAGNETICALLY ENHANCED PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION—OR E-P-V-D— REPLACES TRADITIONAL ELECTROCHEMICAL PLATING METHODS WITH GREEN TECHNOLOGY. E-P-V-D IS A NEW FAMILY OF EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, & COATING METHODS THAT ARE NOT ONLY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUT DRAMATICALLY REDUCE WEAR & DETERIORATION. THE PROCESS HAS BECOME A STAPLE IN GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS & MULTINATIONAL O-G-P CORPORATIONS. EPVD is a patented process. The material is removed from a source & then uniformed into a positive on the bore of a cylinder component in a low pressure, inert environment. EPVD deposits single metals, alloys, multi-layered & multi-compositional recipes at very accelerated rates & matched by any coating process in the world. E-P-V-D HAS UNDERGONE VIGOROUS TESTING, & IS CURRENTLY BEING ENGINEERED FOR DEFENSE APPLICATIONS, AS WELL AS LANDING GEAR ON AIR VEHICLES, & TUBES IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE PETROCHEMICAL REACTORS. EPVD is head & heels over the whole chromium process. Its environmentally friendly, it cuts down on end life cost for disposal & it out performs the chromium barrel probably by 50%. When you have better performance, you’ve got increased range & increased accuracy & of course longer life means we're getting a better product for the tax payer's money. IN ADDITION TO COATINGS, P-S-T OFFERS A NEW & UNIQUE FATIGUE ANALYSIS SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PREDICT THE LIFETIME OF PARTS, & PREVENT PREMATURE FAILURES. KNOWN AS PROGNOSTICA, THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES ENGINEERS WITH REAL-TIME INSIGHT INTO THE FATIGUE & CRACK STATE OF ANY STRUCTURE. Prognostica is a revolutionary technology that lets engineer's unparalleled insight into the status of their systems. What it combines is direct fatigue sensing with lifetime prediction in order to provide the most real-time & up to date information. This is a cost effective & simple & is a game changer in this technology. AS THE INDUSTRY BECOMES MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE, BOTH E-P-V-D & PROGNOSTICA WILL RESOLVE DEFICIENCIES WHILE MEETING THE DEMANDS OF ENGINEERS, DESIGNERS, & END USERS. The exceptionally positive support we receive from our clients, with the combination of out of the box thinking, a multitalented technical team & w well protected intellectual property this is what separates us from the competition. There is always a paradigm shift to be made & we take great pride in beginning the ones to make it in the present & the future.
