November 2009

Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. announces the launch of its new division, Prognostica™. This new division specializes in Development, Engineering and Production of specialized health management and lifetime prediction systems based on the unique patented Chameleon Skin Gauge (CSG™) design. Prognostica™ is a revolutionary diagnosis tool intended for fatigue analysis, structural health monitoring and life time prediction of complex structures and components made from materials with multiple natures, including metals, resins, plastics and composites.

We are also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John Wright as the Business Development Manager of Prognostica™. John’s expertise capitalizes on over 30 years of experience in the multi-national, high-tech sector, transitioning from an initial engineering background through all facets of the business process. He served with globally recognized corporations inclusive of Litton (Northrop Grumman), Honeywell, British Aerospace, and Smiths Industries, in various managerial roles. Specific details about Prognostica™ are available at www.prognostica.ca

September 2009

Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. successfully completes the Advanced Gun Barrel Technology Program (AGBT) with the demonstration of the coated 155-mm gun barrel installed in the AGS EDM 155-mm gun mount at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah. This demonstration was a series of rapid fire tests, proving that the refractory metal lining EPVD®-applied inside the barrel has significant wear resistance over existing hard chrome plating. The proprietary coating system developed by Paradigm Shift Technologies reduces the exposure of the substrate to both thermal and chemical attack, significantly extending the service life of the barrel. The thermally induced cracking, that signals the beginning of the end for the hard chrome plating, is virtually eliminated leading to longer service life and fewer barrels being required over the life of the gun system. The series of rapid fire tests conducted on September 17th was the culmination of AGBT, a 5 year Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Program, a collaborative effort of the Office of Naval Research, Navy Warfare Centers, and defense industry.                 http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=48730

Manoir Industries, France and Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc., announce a strategic partnership to engineer, manufacture and market the CoatAlloy™ range of specialized anti-coking products.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Pierre Lefébure, President of Manoir Petrochem® and Dr. Gennady Yumshtyk, President & CEO of Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Paradigm Shift will employ its patented EPVD® technology to engineer the unique CoatAlloy™ range of advanced anti-coking surfaces on Manoir tubing and coils used in the manufacture of furnaces for the ethylene industry and for the process gas heaters of direct reduction of iron. Manoir will jointly fund an industrial program with Paradigm Shift, to synergize the patented coatings and the technology for use in the cracking process and other petrochemical applications.

August 2008

Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. announces the acquisition from Bodycote International plc (UK) of the production facility employed for the application of CoatAlloy™. CoatAlloy™ is a coating for use in high temperature applications, where there is a essential need to extend the life of the process plant. Equipment has been transferred from Liverpool (UK) to Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. new facility in Toronto, Canada. The equipment will be completely restructured industrially and coupled with the patented EPVD® process to apply high-temperature resistant coatings. The EPVD® technology is a core coating method currently utilized exclusively by Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. for defence and commercial markets. The acquisition has well-defined synergy with current coatings businesses of Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. significantly extending the market in oil, gas and petrochemical applications.

August 2007
