Pictures, Videos and other Information about the FASwitch Technology

Given the claims made against us, the easiest way to disprove them is to demonstrate that a real technology was developed and that knowledgeable parties were interested in that technology. They say that a picture is worth a 1,000 words. How about a video?

Below you will see presentations, pictures, videos and drawings that demonstrate that the FASwitch technology was not only real, but demonstrable. FASwitch is an invention that Michael Sauvante initially conceived of, and was then translated into practical reality by Dr. Nicholas Pasch, Glenn Sanders, and our team in Japan.

For those not familiar with the basics of our invention, think of it as a simple switch that turns on and off a circuit (like a light bulb switch) which is used to activate dots on a display screen. We were working with the same company (E Ink) that makes the black and white elements that create the dots on the screen for the Amazon Kindle seen here .

To help you understand the basics of our technology, you may view this animated PowerPoint presentation or the same thing in a non-animated .pdf file. Slide 14 demonstrates FASwitch working with the E Ink technology and we were working for a Kindle-like device as seen on slide 21. In the following pictures and videos, you will see squares that change color from dark to light and back. That is the E Ink material being turned on and off by our FASwitch switch array.

US Display Consortium Display Conference in Phoenix 2005

At this conference in early 2005, we unveiled our first working prototypes to approximately 300 of the world's top display scientists and engineers. It was the hit of the show. This video shows our American and Japanese engineers setting up our working prototypes in the lobby.

Below are three more videos from that show. The first two demonstrate the working prototype we demonstrated at our booth. We had visitors lined 3 to 5 deep. This demo is using the same material from E Ink that is in the Kindle reading device referred to above. The third video is of Dr. Nicholas Pasch speaking about our FASwitch technology to the assembled experts at the conference. You can see the banner behind him identifying the event.
