1.1. The Quantum Point Contact
Dr. John G. Williamson — Solid State Physics
Dr. John G. Williamson, while working as a solid-state and experimental physicist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands, conceptualized, and was part of the team that developed, the first seminal nano-electronic device — the first semiconductor device to be dubbed “nano” — the quantum point contact. 
Article: 1988
Williamson also designed the first solid-state single electron device, the single electron pump. Article: 1989
He was also the first to measure the effective size of a single electron’s charge distribution in the solid state, and found it to be of the order of tens of nanometers. Article : 1990
1.2. Uncoated specimen microscopy
Dr. Vivian Robinson — ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Dr. Vivian Robinson developed a technique for looking at uncoated specimens in their natural state in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), as well as a variation of that technique that enabled specimens with liquid water to be viewed in the vacuum system of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It provides the ease of specimen preparation of an optical microscope with the resolution and depth of focus of SEMs.
The first image taken of liquid water in contact with a biological material, 1974. Article: (1975)
These images were not possible prior to Robinson’s invention:
1.3. The Robinson Backscattered Detector
Dr. Vivian Robinson — ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Invented, designed, and manufactured the Robinson Backscattered Electron Detector, the world’s first improved and highly efficient backscattered electron detector for use in scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). It significantly enhanced the versatility of scanning electron microscopes.
Patent: Robinson Backscattered Electron Detector
Manufacturer’s website: ETPSemra
1.4. Memfree Electroflocculation For Water Purification
Dr. Vivian Robinson — WATER TREATMENT
Invented the Memfree Electroflocculation Process for purifying water of biotic & abiotic pollutants, without the use of filters or chemicals, on both the small- and industrial-scales.
Small water purifier could clean 1 gallon (4 litres) of water in 30 mins.
DC: 5V – 15V
Power: 1 – 2 mA/hr per gallon.
Weight: < 2 kg (battery excl.)
Development of an in-situ process for the removal of pollutants from large bodies of relatively still polluted water at or near neutral pH. Suitable for lakes or mining tailings dams.
Patent: Memfree Electroflocculation Process for water purification
1.5. Laser Mammography
Dr. Martin B. van der Mark — MEDICAL OPTICAL IMAGING
Dr. Martin van der Mark, while working as a research physicist and photonics expert at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands, conceptualized, developed, and brought to fruition a new technology for laser mammography on benign cysts in the breast — diffuse optical tomography (DOT) .
DOT can visualize benign cysts in the breast and elucidate their high water and low total hemoglobin content by spectroscopic analysis.
Article: 2008
2. Think Tank
Members of Quicycle have several patents held and in various stages of development.
In addition, we have several engineering projects in various stages of development, in areas such as sustainable energy production and software engineering for use in relativistic quantum mechanics modeling. These are based upon and made possible by the theories of sub-quantum mechanics, developed by Dr. John G. Williamson (CERN/Philips Research Laboratories/Glasgow U.), Dr. Martin B. van der Mark (Philips Research Laboratories), as well as Dr. Vivian Robinson (ETP Semra), who extends this model to include nuclear physics.
