News for 'GTEM' - (Sanswire Partner Tao Technologies Files Patent Application Covering New Airship Design)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jul 28, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Sanswire-TAO
Corp., the joint venture equally owned by TAO Technologies GmbH and the Sanswire
subsidiary of GlobeTel Communications Corp. (Pink Sheets:GTEM), today announced
that Dr. Bernd Kroplin, president of TAO Technologies, filed a patent
application in Germany for "Segmented Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Equipped With
Energy Medium." A registration number of 10 2008 002 939.4 was assigned to the
patent.
Dr. Bernd Kroplin and TAO Technologies concurrently filed an application for the
invention under the PCT or Patent Cooperation Treaty, for international
protection in the majority of the world's countries, including all of the major
industrialized ones. The technology protected under the patent and to be
transferred to Sanswire-TAO for registration in the US, Canada and Mexico
distinguishes the Sanswire-TAO's lighter than air (LTA) unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV) program from all competitors.
"This new concept represents a complete re-thinking of airship design," said
Jonathan Leinwand, Chief Executive Officer of GlobeTel Communications, "For
years, Dr. Kroplin, inventor of the segmented design, has been challenge d with
developing a technology superior to previous high-altitude designs ranging from
lighter than air blimp shaped airships to heavier than air fixed wing designs,
and after nearly 15 years of development and thousands of test flights we have
enormous confidence in his revolutionary design."
Leinwand continued, "Many programs have been working on high altitude long
endurance platforms to meet the demands of today's world, but no design has been
able to successfully remain in the stratosphere for an extended duration.
Sanswire and TAO will demonstrate that long endurance stratospheric flight is
possible."
Sanswire-TAO intends to file a utility patent for the "Segmented Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle Equipped With Energy Medium" with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) under the guidelines provided by PCT.
