FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Gemini Engineering Technologies is pleased to announce that it has received notice that the basic features its secondary thermodynamics cycle have been indicated as allowable by the US patent office. 

 Gemini expects to receive a formal notice of allowance on the majority of the patent’s claims at any time.  While G.E.T. management looks forward to the issuance of the company’s first patent covering the revolutionary secondary thermodynamic cycle;  its’ principals will also seek broader claims through the continuation practice which is an integral part of the Gemini intellectual property strategy. 

 Chuck Lindsey, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing, believes that the technology will have energy saving implications that far out reach the trucking industry for which the technology was initially conceived.  The global transportation sector is ripe to capitalize on the operating economies represented by the soon to be issued patent.  Shipping, rail, and stationary power generation are just three of the many market segments that will benefit immediately from bringing the technology to market as soon as possible.

 Company President, Garry Otterstrom says “This is just the beginning for our company.  We have two additional patents pending for the trucking industry and our sister company is developing technologies that will completely change the global energy economy.”

 The company, founded in 2002, is presently seeking funding for research & development of an integrated class 8 hybrid tractor trailer. In addition to the second cycle mentioned above, the “Global Tracker” will leverage fuel reformation, regenerative braking, variable hydraulic drive, and most importantly incredibly effective aerodynamic innovation.  Once funded, R & D is expected to take three years after which a second round of funding will be sought for implementation of the Gemini go to market strategy which includes global licensure to micro-manufacturers in developing countries.

The technology is extremely green and well suited to global licensing according to advisors close to the project.

The company’s first year objectives are:

a.    Secure funding for the hybrid Class 8 long haul tractor/trailer prototypes and the initial production run.

b.    File international patent applications covering core concepts

c.    Further validate and refine the design concepts through dynamic modeling, followed by dynamometer, bench test, and further wind tunnel testing.

d.    Locate suitable assembly partners and/or facilities for prototype construction, preferably within the state of Utah.

e.    Design and obtain components for the test mule (first prototype).

f.     Begin construction of the test mule to prove the concept.

g.    Begin concurrent design on the fully integrated prototype, which incorporates all of the company’s technologies.

h.    Begin the company’s marketing efforts by the use of general and targeted media to build public awareness.
