(2004 example, our image will be like sharp B/W picture)

Discrete Amplification (DA) Technology The solid-state discrete-amplification (DA) technology distributes low-level signals into individual photoelectron components, amplifies the signals in separate amplification micro-channels to a precisely determined level, and then combines them into one analog output signal.

Intellectual Property ATI owns United States patent U.S. Patent No. 6,885,827 titled “High Sensitivity, High Resolution Detection of Signals” (April 2005) and was granted a follow-up patent “High Sensitivity, High Resolution Detection of Signals,” U.S. Patent 7,085,502 in August 2006.

Intellectual Property Additionally, ATI benefits from the numerous patents and innovative technological work of their of their senior scientific staff, among them

Photomultiplier Tubes (“PMT”)  “1930’s” technology  Require high voltage  Bulky  Fragile  Sensitive to magnetic fields  Limited in certain operational areas of speed of detection and recovery.

Avalanche Photodiodes (“APD”)  Introduce excess noise (unwanted signals or distortion) in the amplification process  Have limited abilities to increase the strength (amplitude) of the signal (gain)  Cannot be operated continuously - Require “dead time” before they recover to sense the presence or absence of the next signal.

ATI Discrete Amplification  High Sensitivity        

Low noise High gain Continuous operation Analog / Digital outputs Detector arrays Solid state -compact and rugged Ease of integration with electronics Low manufacturing cost

DA Performance Parameters ATI, using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes has produced micro sensors that have:  High gain: up to 100K times- Measure of the amplification  Low noise-factor: less than 5% – Measure of unwanted byproduct signals  Fast response time: less than 1 nanosecond – Fast signal detection that allows output signal digital processing in real time  DA sensors can detect the signal of a single photon (the smallest unit of light) in a visible or invisible spectrum

Existing Markets  Remote Sensors including LIDAR/LADAR (Light Detection and Ranging/Laser Detection and Ranging  Security Devices  Image Sensors  Optical Network Hardware  Spectrography
