Company
Overview
Boston Rheology, LLC was organized in 1992 to
develop products utilizing patented, proprietary technology in
the field of rheology (the science of the deformation and flow
of matter; measuring the stickiness or viscoelasticity of certain
fluids). While the platform of rheology is quite broad, encompassing
industrial, medical, consumer, commercial and agricultural applications,
the Company has developed pioneering, non-invasive products and
techniques to (1) study the viscoelasticity of a woman’s
saliva to determine her fertile period, (2) measure and analyze
fluids in diseased states such as the screening for Cystic Fibrosis
at birth, and (3) assess the viscous changes in cow vaginal secretions
to determine the optimal time for insemination and gender pre-selection.
The Company has numerous international patents
covering a variety of processes, techniques and mechanical devices.
Patents
Boston Rheology was organized to develop products
utilizing patented, proprietary technology in the field of rheology.
Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation
and flow of matter. In layman's terms, the Company is focused
on measuring, and determining with statistical accuracy, what
the implications are in connection with the viscoelasticity (stickiness)
of certain fluids.
The Company has developed several pioneering products,
techniques and uses and has numerous international patents
covering a variety of processes and mechanical devices.

Strategic Partners
TIAX, LLC
TIAX LLC is a privately held company operating
at the intersection of business and technology. It has a rich
heritage of creating business opportunities and growth through
the power of science, technology and innovation. TIAX was founded
in 2002 from Arthur D. Little’s Technology and Innovation
group and maintains close ties with the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
They continue the tradition of Arthur D. Little, Inc., formerly
one of the world's oldest, largest, and most diversified research,
engineering, and management consulting organizations. Established
in 1886, the company's legacy is valued and implemented by a TIAX
staff of about 200 personnel with headquarters, offices, and laboratories
in Cambridge, Massachusetts and an office in Cupertino, California.
More than three-quarters of their staff are comprised of scientists
and engineers representing a broad spectrum of science and engineering
disciplines; thus, they are able to provide a uniquely comprehensive
approach to the solution of scientific, technological, management,
and economic problems.
TIAX scientists and engineers occupy more than 90,000 square feet
of office and meeting space and approximately 80 laboratories
and engineering facilities covering approximately 40,000 square
feet. Their extensive laboratories, computer facilities, and fabrication
facilities permit them to carry a project from the initial feasibility
and system analysis stages through to the fabrication and testing
of experimental proto-types of completed special-purpose hardware.
These facilities are equipped with sophisticated state-of-the-art
instrumentation for design and analysis.
Assurance Technology Corporation
Assurance Technology Corporation (ATC) provides
research and development, engineering and management consulting,
support services, and evaluation and test services with emphasis
on space, avionics, terrestrial military C4I applications and
those disciplines that make systems producible, reliable, maintainable
and supportable. ATC has partnered with Boston Rheology to develop
the mechanics and materials needed for the precise measurements
of Boston Rheology's proprietary instruments. ATC's facilities
and equipment have evolved over a three decade history in space,
avionics, and ground systems development for over 75 government
and civilian customers. ATC's facilities and equipment have a
demonstrated ability to support the design, development, fabrication,
test and documentation of highly reliable electronic systems.
