Victor, NY - June 24, 2008 - New Scale
Technologies has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the
"Cool Vendors in Semiconductors, 2008" report by Gartner,
Inc.(1). The report identifies "innovations that promise to
revolutionize electronic systems: integrated Wi-Fi flash cards,
noise suppression technology for mobile communications, emerging
memories, piezo-electric motors and the conversion of internal
semiconductor intellectual property for external licensing."
"The SQUIGGLE motor continues to attract attention for its
innovation and ability to revolutionize electronic systems," said
David Henderson, co-CEO of New Scale. "I believe that recognition as
a 'cool vendor' is a credit to our team and further demonstration of
our growing presence in the market."
The tiny SQL Series SQUIGGLE motor offers greater power efficiency,
higher reliability, and ten times better precision than
electromagnetic motors. It is less than half the size of other piezo
motors. It consists of seven parts in a simple, elegant design that
can be produced at low unit cost in high volumes. This patented
ultrasonic motor withstands high shock and offers millimeters of
stroke.
About Gartner's Cool Vendors Selection Process
Gartner's listing does not constitute an exhaustive list of vendors
in any given technology area, but rather is designed to highlight
interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services.
Gartner disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, with respect
to this research, including any warranties of merchantability or
fitness of a particular purpose.
Gartner defines a cool vendor as a company that offers technologies
or solutions that are: Innovative, enable users to do things they
couldn't do before; Impactful, have, or will have, business impact
(not just technology for the sake of technology); Intriguing, have
caught Gartner's interest or curiosity in approximately the past six
months.

About New Scale Technologies
New Scale Technologies (www.newscaletech.com) creates disruptively small
motion systems based on our patented piezoelectric SQUIGGLE® motor, the world’s
smallest linear motor. This ultrasonic motor is smaller, more precise, less
expensive, more robust and more power-efficient than other micro motors. We
create complete motion systems integrating SQUIGGLE motor technology with
supporting electronics (ASICs) developed in partnership with austriamicrosystems (www.austriamicrosystems.com).
New Scale’s micro motors and micro-actuator modules enable design engineers
to create smaller products including mobile phone cameras, electronic locks and
intelligent fasteners, nano-scale fluid control including lab-on-a-chip systems,
medical devices including miniature drug pumps and endoscopes, optics and
imaging systems, automotive modules, lasers, aerospace and defense systems,
cryogenic and MRI-compatible instruments, and consumer electronics including
micro fuel cells.
