GuideTech Announces U.S.
Patent Protection for its Continuous Time
Interval Analyzer Technology
Mountain View, Calif. – December 1, 2009
–GuideTech, Inc., the leading provider of software and
hardware solutions for timing critical semiconductor
test applications, has been awarded
numerous U.S. patents covering its Continuous Time
Interval Analyzer
(CTIA) technology.
GuideTech's substantial investment in research and
development of its
proprietary CTIA processes and equipment has also led to
the filing of
numerous new patent applications which the company
expects to issue in
the near future.
