One of the most challenging tasks in microtechnology today is represented by the difficulty in identifying applications that are both technically feasible and commercially viable. For instance, the extent of the problem is clearly shown by the estimate made by market experts that less than 5% of research presented at a recent microtechnology conference will ever be commercialized. It is therefore clear that great attention must be paid in researching what applications of our theoretical and experimental know-how are both technically promising and satisfy a specific, financially interesting market need from which InterStellar Technologies Corporation will derive an attractive profit.

In the case of our proprietary technologies, the challenge is increased by the fact that the TRANSVACER™ device concept potentially represents the solution to a variety of outstanding problems on the microscopic scale. What applications did the inventors of electricity, the transistor, or the laser consider for their inventions in the early phases following their achievements? This is always a hard question to answer when the realm of applicability of an idea is very broad and of course such inventions are absolutely ubiquitous in our modern world because they represent the correct answer to a great number of technological questions. So it is for the TRANSVACER™ device.

Of course, in practice, the choice must be made as to what markets to pursue as a first step and at InterStellar Technologies Corporation we are convinced we made a sensible and well-grounded choice by deciding to initially focus upon TRANSVACER™ device applications to the following four technological areas:

1. Energy storage and production;
2. Breakthrough propulsion;
3. Optical telecommunications and microactuation;
4. Nanosurgery and micromanipulation of biomedical samples.

Our research indicates that our proprietary technologies can provide revolutionary and highly profitable answers to present technological needs in these fields and we are totally committed to producing advanced designs of commercially viable Casimir force -based devices to meet the challenges of the 21st century, whether in outer space, in inhospitable ground environments, in cyberspace, or in the eternal fight against disease inside the human body.
