ASIP |
| ASIP is a supplier of advanced photonic components for dense wavelength division multiplexed fiber optic
networks. The technology base is a unique scheme developed by Professor Stephen R. Forrest at Princeton
University for generating very low cost, high bandwidth integrated transmitters and receivers which will enable
the rapid deployment of the most advanced optical networks. Current products under development include laser
transmitters at 10 and 40 Gb/s, as well as optical receivers at 40 Gb/s. |
| |
| This technology allows the integration of active (lasers, amplifiers, detectors, etc.) and passive devices
(waveguides, filters, couplers, etc.) without the use of complex semiconductor epitaxial growth processors.
The use of only a single growth step can result in a significant reduction in fabrication cost. Furthermore,
the integration of multiple optical functions on a single chip is estimated to result tin a tenfold reduction
in packaging costs normally associated with assembling discrete components. |
| |
| There is a substantial opportunity for photonic integration technology that combines active and passive
components on a single chip. This is a direct result of the growth in all fiber-optic networks for
telecommunications and Internet transmissions. |
| |
| ASIP is located in Somerset, NJ. |

Cellular Genomics, Inc. (CGI) |
| Cellular Genomics, Inc. (CGI) is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and
validation of novel drug targets and was founded based on technologies developed at Yale
and Princeton Universities. The Company's clinically oriented programs provide detailed
cell biological analyses of the role a potential target plays in disease pathophysiology.
In so doing, CGI creates compelling drug discovery opportunities for biopharmaceutical partners.
The company also offers its target validation capabilities to biopharmaceutical partners as a
comprehensive drug discovery service. CGI provides the solid scientific foundation and critical
drug discovery tools to enable drug discovery to proceed with confidence. CGI's solutions will
help biopharmaceutical drug discovery executives make better informed resource allocation decisions,
enabling their company to decrease the overall time and cost of drug development. |

ChemtronX Research Group (d.b.a. CRG Chemical) |
|
CRG Chemical is focused on commercializing its proprietary surface chemistry technologies in the fields of electronic materials, material adhesives, chemical sensors, and surface coatings. The Company's surface chemistry technologies are comprised of a new class of chemical reactions that allow strong and stable bonding of organics to metal oxides. CRG Chemical's surface chemistry technologies have resulted in:
- the enhancement of material adhesives, thus improving the performance of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs);
- the improvement of gate insulator surfaces, thereby increasing organic thin film transistor (OTFT) performance;
- the development of chemical sensors for semiconductor surface modification, thus enhancing thin film transistor (TFT) performance.
CRG Chemical is also a provider of customized services to outside companies. The company supplies customized reagent kits and surface films to meet the specific surface treatment needs of each individual requester.
Currently, the Company is seeking partners to develop surface coatings and epoxy adhesion materials utilizing CRG Chemical's surface chemistry technologies.

Global Photonic Energy Corporation (GPEC) |
| Global Photonic Energy Corporation (GPEC) is a development stage company that
was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on February 7, 1994
by American Biomimetics Corporation ("Biomimetics"), a privately held, new materials,
science and technology venture company. The Company's purpose is to fund, design, develop,
license and market new photonic energy conversion devices using small molecular "organic
thin film" technologies (the "Energy Technologies") being developed by researchers at the
University of Southern California ("USC") and Princeton University ("Princeton").
The Company believes that these Energy Technologies may have the ability to provide a
sustainable, non-polluting, efficient photonic energy source that converts sunlight into
usable energy. The Energy Technologies are part of basic research which, the Company believes,
will be an important element in transforming society from a non-sustainable, polluting,
hydrocarbon/petrochemical (oil) based economy to a sustainable, renewable, non-polluting
hydrogen/photochemical (solar power) based economy. |

Universal Display Corporation (UDC) |
| The mission of Universal
Display Corporation (UDC) [NASDAQ:PANL) is to make its proprietary
OLED technology the technology of choice for future generations of
flat panel displays, lasers, and light generating devices. It is carrying
out that mission through the creation of strategic partnerships to
leverage the core competencies of research organizations, manufacturing
organizations and marketing organizations. Its strategic research
partnership with Princeton University and the University of Southern
California was started in 1994 and expanded in 1997 when the two universities
became shareholders in UDC. UDC agreed to continue funding the research
through 2003, subject to extension. UDC has the exclusive worldwide
license to all technology developed in this Organic Light Emitter
Project. OLEDs have a wide variety of potential applications, including
cell phones, PDA's, computer displays, informational displays in vehicles
and television monitors. OLEDs are seen as a future replacement technology
for Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), due
to their bright and beautiful colors, wide viewing angle, compatibility
with full motion video, broad temperature ranges, thin and conformable
form factor, low power requirements and the potential for low cost
manufacturing processes. CRTs and LCDs currently dominate the growing
$40 billion annual electronic display market. |
