| CM-1 Compact Large-Capacity Negative Stiffness Vibration Isolator | 
Abstract:
Minus K Technology, Inc. is giving away $20,000 of patented vibration isolators to colleges and universities within the United States, in celebration of its 20th year anniversary.  Minus K negative-stiffness, low-frequency vibration isolators use no air or electricity, and are currently being used for research in biology, neuroscience, chemistry, photonics, crystal growth, physics and microscopy by more than 300 leading universities and government laboratories in 43 countries.
Institutions within the United States, that have an AFM, electron microscope, interferometer, laser optical system, micro hardness tester, or any other special equipment that would benefit from a low-frequency vibration isolator are eligible to apply at
www.minusk.com/giveaway/mk20yr_form.doc.  Up to six vibration isolators will be given away, for a total value of $20,000.  No purchase necessary.  Submission deadline for applications is January 31, 2014.
