New Scale has formed a strategic partnership
with austriamicrosystems (SWX: AMS), a leading
designer and manufacturer of high performance
analog ICs. Austriamicrosystems has invested
$6 million in New Scale in exchange for a 25%
minority share of the company.
By reducing the supporting electronics to
single ICs, we can create complete motion
systems on the same scale as our miniature
SQUIGGLE motors.
This partnership enables us to produce a new
line of disruptively small motion systems
with best-in-class precision and power
efficiency. Tapping austriamicrosystems'
expertise, we can provide complete 'closed
loop' motion
solutions that incorporate micro motors,
drive electronics and position sensors in
extremely small modules, ready for
integration into OEM products.

New Scale received its third US patent for
its miniature piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motors.
The patent covers design improvements for
high-volume manufacturing, a simplified
electronic drive method that reduces power
requirements by 50%, and a miniaturized auto
focus and optical zoom module.

New Scale has expanded its SQUIGGLE motor
license agreement with Tamron Co. Ltd., a
leading global manufacturer of high-precision
optics and optical assemblies.
The new multimillion dollar agreement grants
Tamron license to manufacture SQUIGGLE motors
and integrate them into Tamron products at
its high-volume precision manufacturing
facilities in Japan and other parts of Asia.
Tamron may also produce SQUIGGLE motors as a
contract manufacturer for New Scale as needed.
Tamron has a 50-year history of precision,
high-volume manufacturing and a reputation
for high quality. This is a milestone in the
build-up of global manufacturing and supply
chain capabilities for SQUIGGLE motors, both
at New Scale's US manufacturing center and at
our partners' facilities close to customers
around the world.

New Scale Technologies' patented
piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor was selected as
one of the most outstanding products of the
year by the readers and editors of
Elektronik, Germany's leading electronics
design magazine. The SQUIGGLE motor took
second prize in the automation category.
