Seicon's website is currently being updated; Temporary content is found below: The Company Seicon, Limited (the “Company”) was organized as a
limited liability company in the State of SEICON SYSTEMS® The Company holds exclusive rights to new, unique
technology for shock and vibration isolation that will revolutionize the fields
of mechanical and civil engineering. The Company’s exclusive rights to the
patents covering this unique, cost efficient technology (SEICON SYSTEMS®)
include all aspects of licensing, development, production, marketing, and
servicing. The technology has numerous design applications for both cyclic
vibration and random shocks, and can be utilized in a broad range of products,
including motor mounts, pipe supports, buildings, bridges and elevated
highways. The SEICON SYSTEM® is based on a simple principle that the Company’s
founder, John Cunningham, calls "homeostatic engineering" and has
been the subject of articles and presentations to research, education and
business organizations. The technology is broadly scalable, and can be used to
isolate equipment that weigh less than one pound up to building-sized items.
The technology is not dependent upon the physical properties of any single
material to provide its performance, allowing it to be constructed from
materials suitable for use in corrosive/seawater environments as well as in significant
temperature extremes. Devices designed to incorporate this unique technology
can be tuned to meet changing operational conditions while the device is fully
loaded and operating. Intellectual
Property The Company’s intellectual property is currently
the subject of nine Business StrategyThe Company's business strategy is to exploit the wide range of potential
uses by licensing the technology, forming joint ventures or similar partnering
arrangements, designing and manufacturing products to meet a customer’s
specifications or a combination of these three approaches. Management believes
that this strategy will enable the Company to combine its technical know-how
with specific industry expertise from its customers and thereby increase the
opportunity for developing, applying, and marketing its technology over a broad
range of industries and products. The Company has had and continues to have
discussions with several companies and organizations regarding access to our
technology and approaches to establishing business relationships. Current Products The Company is currently focusing its resources on two primary applications, the isolation of the effects of vibrations generated by washing machines and those generated by motors and other mechanical equipment on boats. Washing machines, particularly front loaders, generate significant vibration that is transmitted to the rest of the house. The transmission is usually greatest when the washing machine is located on or near trusses or joists supporting non-cement floors. A washing machine sitting on a platform designed with the SEICON SYSTEM® will transmit between 85%-95% less vibration to the rest of the house than when sitting on the floor. The Company has a license agreement with Ohio Steel under which the platform will be manufactured, sold and distributed under the Steadywash™ brand in exchange for a royalty to the Company for each platform sold with a minimum annual royalty. For more information on this product, please see the Steadywash™ website. The Company also modified pedestals sold by washing machine manufacturers by installing the SEICON SYSTEM® and the test results from these prototypes are similar to the performance of our platform. The Company has also
designed a prototype mount for installation in a washing machine and is
currently testing and modifying the design. A provisional patent has been filed
for this application. There has been some interest in our technology by the
washing machine industry and initial discussions have been held with one
manufacturer regarding a development agreement with licensing terms subject to
meeting specific performance and cost targets. We believe that successful
introduction of the platform by Ohio Steel will generate increased interest by
other washing machine manufacturers. Prototype
motor mounts for the marine industry have been built, installed and tested with
very positive results. A fourth generation prototype mount has been produced
and installed in a Company owned boat. In
addition to being more effective than existing marine isolators, these motor
mounts are frequency "tunable" while fully loaded and operating to
constantly adjust for changes in the operating environment. This “tunable”
feature is particularly important to the marine industry by enabling engines to
be operated at speeds that were previously considered prohibited or forbidden
and to respond to changes in RPMs while the engine is fully operational. The Company is also engaged in the inclusion of
its products into additional household products. More InformationWe would be pleased to discuss the Company in more detail and to answer general questions. However, to obtain substantially more detailed information including details about the SECION SYSTEM®, more information about the Company, its products, its intellectual property and its financial condition and capital structure, it will be necessary to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
