ATP Products

Applying science and technology in the design and development of new products

One of Applied Technology Products' strengths is its ability to create viable new products very rapidly. However, this is also a weakness because ATP is able to create new products much more quickly than it is able to exploit existing ones. The following is a partial list of the technologies that ATP wishes to develop. Abstracts are available for some designs, indicated with a hyperlink.

Many of ATP's products and projects are proprietary, making it difficult to disclose the details of the products. At the same time, it is important to demonstrate in detail the kind of work that ATP does in the development of a product. For this reason, upon request, ATP provides COMPLETE design and modeling information for a general aviation deicing product design designed to respond to a NASA Small Business Innovation Research Grant request. The materials provided online include the NASA grant proposal and an Excel spreadsheet model of the device that includes extremely detailed calculations projecting the device's operational characteristics.

Each of these projects, and many more under development, will require significant funding for corporate development, product development and associated costs. Costs for other projects, such as those to develop new types of engines, could be quite reasonable.

Alternative energy devices are becoming increasingly important in a world challenged by greenhouse gas pollution. Applied Technology Products has a number of alternative energy devices under development including numerous OEM and retrofittable devices for sustainable housing and many other unique approaches to addressing the world's problem with fossil fuels.

ATP is developing technologies to prevent the release and remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and seeks partners in their development. ATP can design low cost devices to provide low cost passive and active solar heating for your home as well as numerous other approaches to advance alternative energy.

Aviation technology was one of the first areas in which ATP attempted to launch a product. Recognizing a market vacuum in the area of private aircraft safety, ATP has developed two devices to provide general aviation deicing.

In 2001, ATP was invited to submit a proposal to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Revolutionary Aeropropulsion Concepts program. While ATP's response to the NASA program was not chosen for funding, the project has resulted in the creation of several new engine designs which should be cleaner and more efficient than today's engines.

ATP's current interest in aviation revolves around the design and development of a emissions-free airliner and mechanisms to retrofit the existing fleet of kerosene turbine airliners.

The president of Applied Technology Products has an extensive background in biotechnology having completed a Master of Basic Science degree from the University of Colorado focused in analytical cytometry. One of the first biotechnology projects that Applied Technology worked upon was a means for the detection and destruction of tumors less than 5 cm in diameter.

The IMAGRAD system was designed to be an integrated diagnostic and treatment pharmaceutical/device that detected the presence of tumors less than 5 cm in diameter and allowed immediate subsequent treatment employing alpha particles released locally to the detected small tumor.

ATP is also interested in the development of analytical cytometry devices that are radical advancements on today's flow cytometers. ATP is currently working on two new designs for flow analysis of biological materials and is very interested in lichens.

Computer science and especially nanotechnology is an area of special interest for Applied Technology Products. ATP has designed an optical transistor, a new type of high speed bus for existing chip based electronics and a number ultra high speed optical switching devices. Most of these devices are in early stage development and will require extensive, science based development.

Applied Technology Product's President, Groff M. Schroeder worked in emergency medical services for 17 years including employment as a firefighter. ATP has developed numerous designs that should be of use in emergency services including automated firefighting equipment, bomb attenuation equipment and improved bunker gear.

Automated Equipment

Fire fighting is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. ATP has a number of designs for automated firefighting equipment for use in the fighting of fires to make the job less dangerous and more efficient.

Bomb Attenuation

Explosions cause a great deal of damage every year. ATP has designed a series of lightweight portable products for use by bomb squads and airlines that allow shrapnel and shock waves associated with bomb detonation to be contained.

Improved Bunker Gear

Every year firefighters are injured in the line of duty. ATP has designed a new type of active garment to protect firefighters. The garment could also be very useful in racing and other endeavors where fire and traumatic forces might be encountered.

The Internet has become one of, if not the most important information resources in the world. ATP has several products that employ Internet communications.

Online News Information Service

Perhaps the most important foundation of a free society is unfettered access to information. The Online News Information Service provides users click access to categorized news stories from all over the world. The goal of the project is provide news consumers with easy access to news stories by category without being required to search numerous news sites and archives by hand. The site operates by monitoring news web sites and creating an index of the stories being published. The ONIS will allow news consumers to come to a single location to find and cross reference news stories.

College Study Partner

Every year millions of new college students leave home for college. Each year a significant number of those students return after a single semester convinced that they are incapable of completing college. The College Study Partner website is an academic resource for college students providing links to useful academic resources and offering Study Partner sofware and study guides. Together, the website, software and study guides constitute an "Academic Software Environment" designed to help students stop cramming and start learning.

Applied Technology Products is dedicated to the advancement of science. The company is pursuing a number of projects that can be considered as pure science.

Of particular interest are analytical cytology, complex systems, information theory, lichens and mosses and wide area interferometry.

ATP has numerous software products in various stages of development.

Study Partner

Study Partner is a general purpose software program for college students launched in November 2006. Currently, version 1.98 is available for download, and the Study Partner website offers other products for college students through affiliate marketing programs.

Open Source Recycling

Many perfectly good software products have been removed from the market because they were unable to compete in markets in which monopoly influences make competition impossible unless the product is being given away. Examples include the personal information manager ECCO and the operating system BeOs. The goal of the operation would be to purchase defunct software products at fire sale prices and offer them as open source products on the web.

Educational/Safety Video Game

Many of today's video and computer games create excitement through the use of interpersonal violence and provide precious little educational value unless the goal is to train children to use weapons. In addition, modern driving education often ends after high school, and many states test their drivers only once in their lifetimes.

We propose the development of a video/computer game called "Crash Magnet." The game, which would be placed in video parlors and sold for home use, is a driving simulator with adjustable tolerance for failure to follow driving laws. At minimum tolerance, any deviation from driving laws such as speeding or failure to come to a full stop at a stop sign or traffic light results in a ticket or accident.

After an accident, the damage to the driver, occupants, vehicle and insurance coverage is displayed for the user. Expert users would gain experience with accident evasion techniques, become fully aware of driving laws, be capable of driving a car in full compliance with the laws and be fully aware of the costs of failing to follow driving regulations. This game might actually save the lives of teens who often appear unaware of how easy it is to become involved in an automobile accident and the almost always significant associated costs.

Applied Technology Products has numerous other products in various stages of development and new products are developed almost every day.

Applied Technology Products can rapidly create innovative new products to address your needs, fill your market niche or utilize your manufacturing capability. Tell us about your needs and we will create something truly new and exciting to address them.

Applied Technology Products, Inc. is proud to announce the release of Study Partner, an Academic Software Environment designed for first year college students.
