AUSTIN, TEXAS – June 2022 – PulseForge, Inc., a new spinoff of NovaCentrix, is pleased to announce
that Stan Farnsworth, OE-A Chairperson and Chief Marketing Officer at PulseForge, will present during
the Sensors Converge Conference in San Jose, CA. The presentation entitled, “Combining Materials,
Processing and Know-How for Next Generation Wearables, Plus Roadmap,” will take place Monday,
June 27, 2022 at 9 a.m. PDT.



The availability of sensors that can conveniently conform in shape
to their imposed working environment has existed for quite some
time with the earliest being for aerospace applications. Most
recently, there has been an exponential growth in the field of
flexible, printed and organic large-area electronics and sensors
driven by applications including physiological/activity monitoring in
wearables for e-Health, sports/recreational and military personnel
and the Internet of Things (IoT). These new electronics and
sensors are fabricated on flexible plastic substrates or are
printed/woven into fabrics, which offer advantages including low
unit cost, mechanical robustness, shape conformity, light-weight
and low-profile. The creation of these “non-classical” platforms is
enabled by the high-throughput manufacturing processes of
devices including for those over large areas using various
technologies including the advanced soldering offered by
PulseForge Inc., and new gold inkjet materials from NovaCentrix.
Farnsworth will present aspects of the printed electronics opportunities in healthcare, with highlights for
healthcare and wearables from the 8 th edition of the Printed Electronics Roadmap compiled and
published by the OE-A. Key enabling technologies also will be discussed, including updates on the
adoption of 5G networks and the continued utilization of IoT, or Internet of Things. Each of these directly
relates to the acceptance and utilization of advanced sensors. In addition, updates in manufacturing
technologies and materials will be presented.
Farnsworth has been bringing deep-tech innovation to markets and applications for more than 20 years.
He is the Chief Marketing Officer for the newly-created PulseForge Inc., recently spun out of NovaCentrix
where he was also Chief Marketing Officer as well as a founding member. Prior, he was a founding
member of Nanotechnologies Inc (1999), an early pioneer and recognized leader in the nanomaterial
space.
Farnsworth has worked for more than a decade with the OE-A, the leading international association for
printed and large-area flexible electronics, where he serves as elected Chairman. He is an active Mentor
at Capital Factory, the leading start-up ecosystem in the Austin area, where he advises entrepreneurs on
marketing and sales topics.
For the past 10 years Farnsworth also has been the chair of the STEM advisory board for a local Austin
area high school. In this capacity, he has been working to increase diversity in STEM education and
improve awareness of technology opportunities for all students. Farnsworth earned his BS in mechanical
engineering from Rice University and MS in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin,
specializing in heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
