Update for March through November 2004
November 15, 2004

Again, we have been so busy that we have let some of our marketing efforts lapse. Since last March, a lot has been happening at PADT. Much of the work is proprietary, so here is a purposefully vague summary:

• Dozens of analysis projects that range from electronic cooling, CFD for solar cell arrays, ballistic penetration, solenoids, and much, much more.
• Development of custom fuel cell pumping solutions for two major automotive OEMs.
• Growth beyond prototyping into light production manufacturing of two pumping solutions for fuel cells.
• Development of a complete research semiconductor process device for a major equipment manufacturer.
• Continued application of PADT’s rapid tooling technologies to a variety of customers and industries.
• Design of two surgical devices aimed at reducing the health risk of many common surgeries.
• Design of a high-end consumer product that should hit the shelves next year.
• Design of a unique swimming pool related product that is significantly simpler and more robust than the currently available solutions.
• Our busiest time ever for ANSYS training classes.

In short, we are swamped and everyone is working two or three tasks.  Thank you to all of our dedicated customers for trusting us with your ideas!
