Minus K Negative-Stiffness vibration isolator. |
Abstract:
Minus K Technology, Inc., in its continuing support of advanced research by educational institutions, is again giving away $20,000 worth of patented negative-stiffness-mechanism vibration isolators to colleges and universities within the United States. Minus K negative-stiffness, low-frequency vibration isolators use no air or electricity, and are currently being used for research in biology, neuroscience, chemistry, photonics, physics and microscopy by more than 300 leading universities and government laboratories in 48 countries.
Institutions within the United States, that utilize an AFM, electron microscope, interferometer, laser optical system, micro hardness tester, or any other vibration-sensitive instruments that would benefit from a low-frequency vibration isolator are eligible to apply at
In Minus K's 2014 Giveaway, five educational institutions were awarded vibration isolators, including California Polytechnic State University San Louis Obispo, City University of New York Staten Island, Saint Louis University, State University of California Merced, and University of Texas at Dallas.
Multiple vibration isolators will be given away, for a total value of $20,000. Limited to one submission per research department. No purchase necessary. Submission deadline for applications is February 28, 2015.
