Bellingham - Feb 11, 2004
Integral Technologies, Inc. saw a victor last week when its United States Patent Application titled "Segmented Planar Antenna with Built-in Ground Plane" was been allowed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Integral's plastic optimized, small footprint, "ruggedized" satellite antenna, measures only 13.25 inches by 9.90 inches, and .870 inches in height. The term "ruggedized" describes the durability of this antenna, including its ability to withstand extreme environmental conditions, while also enduring significant shock and vibration elements.

This new antenna's primary use is in mobile asset tracking and fleet management, utilizing GPS/Satellite coordinate tracking, combined with two-way LEO/satellite data communications.

This technology provides dispatchers with such information as real time vessel coordination, maintenance records and other time stamped management control within trucking fleets, heavy equipment operations, marine vessels, railway cars, shipping containers, transit vehicles and hazardous material shipments.

Commenting on the allowance of this US Patent Application, Bill Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Integral said, "We continue to execute our business model. From an idea for a technology, evolves a proof of concept, which is confirmed with the development of a prototype. A patent application is then made prior to embarking on the commercialization of the product."

Integral Technologies Inc. has developed a new innovative electrically conductive resin based material deemed "Electriplast". The company holds US provisional patents on 31 different electronic applications around its Electriplast Technology.

Various examples of industries that Electriplast can be used in are, antennas, shielding, lighting circuitry, switch actuators, resistors, medical devices, thermal management and cable connector bodies, to name just a few. The company plans to introduce these new products and the Electriplast Technology on a global scale.
