Thoughtventions Unlimited, LLC

Thoughtventions was formed early in 1993 to perform multidisciplinary research and development for the advancement of science and to create novel commercial processes and products. Thoughtventions creates fundamental innovations that solve long-standing problems by applying state-of-the-art advances from apparently unrelated scientific and industrial specialties. These concepts are developed in detail to make them practical, to maximize their potential, and to explore their implications for future work.

Thoughtventions Unlimited is a multifaceted business that centers on applying diverse applied physical sciences and technology to perform research and development and create commercial products. Thoughtventions current business lines include US Government research and development projects as well as commercial laboratory and research equipment products. Thoughtventions's business is both national and international, using the sophisticated skills of its personnel to solve its customers' technical problems and to pursue its own research and development projects. Thoughtventions adapts to the goals of its funding sources, which tend to be short-term reward, but it is committed to the development of a variety of long term technologies which have the potential to be major advances in their field.
