ABOUT HIENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (www.hienergyinc.com)
HiEnergy Technologies, Inc. is the creator of the world's first "stoichiometric" diagnostic devices that can effectively decipher the chemical composition of unknown substances through metal or other barriers, almost instantly and without human intervention. HiEnergy's Atometer(TM) devices incorporate a proprietary interrogation process which activates a selected target with neutrons causing the contents to emit back gamma rays that contain unique signatures from which the chemical formulas are derived. HiEnergy believes its Atometry(TM) technology compares with other detection technologies like color photography compares with black-and-white photography.
HiEnergy is focused on the commercialization and sale of its portable, suitcase-borne SIEGMA(TM) 3E3; the CarBomb Finder(TM) 3C4 and CarBomb Finder(TM) 3C5, a vehicle-borne system and in-ground system, for the detection and identification of car bombs; and the STARRAY(TM), its robot-borne detector of IEDs, landmines and unexploded ordnance. The Company is marketing its devices to governmental and private entities and is negotiating licenses for distribution of its devices with various industry partners. The Company also continues to focus on the research and development of additional applications of its technologies and their further exploitation, including baggage and cargo screening, both internally and through collaboration with third parties.
