Togami has been on\u00a0Entrepreneurial Leave from Sandia and worked with Vibrant for over a year. The Entrepreneurial Leave program\u00a0at Sandia allows members of staff to work in industry to either support the commercialization of Lab developed\u00a0technology or to enable startup companies with lab developed expertise. \u201cWe are sad to see Tom go. He has\u00a0added a lot of value to the Company, and we have had a lot of fun.\u201d said Vibrant CEO Lem Hunter. \u201cWe knew all\u00a0along that Tom would have to return to the labs, so it isn\u2019t a surprise. We have been planning for this transition,\u201d\u00a0Hunter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a fantastic opportunity to work at Vibrant. I have learned much about Process Compensated\u00a0Resonance Testing that will prove invaluable to my future work for the Department of Energy, and hopefully I\u00a0have contributed to Vibrant\u2019s success as well,\u201d Togami said. While at Vibrant, Togami leveraged his 12-years of\u00a0experience with Sandia to improve and apply Vibrant\u2019s proprietary Process Compensated Resonance Testing\u00a0(PCRT) technology to aerospace and power eneration components. Courtesy of Vibrant, Mr. Togami will have\u00a0access to Vibrant\u2019s PCRT systems for evaluation of potential DOE projects.<\/p>\n<h4>About Vibrant<\/h4>\n<p><em>Vibrant is a spinoff of Mechtronic Solutions, Inc. that has commercialized Process Compensated Resonance\u00a0Testing (PCRT) for use in the aerospace and power generation industries. The PCRT technology, licensed\u00a0from Magnaflux Quasar, is a revolutionary non-destructive testing technology that can determine if a component\u00a0is structurally sound and fit for service. Vibrant has developed PCRT applications focused on the safety critical\u00a0components found in the aerospace industry. These applications bring the power of PCRT to bear on new\u00a0product quality control and in-service product degradation tracking. Vibrant is now performing testing services\u00a0for several major aerospace manufacturers and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) firms.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vibrant Corporation announced today that Thomas Togami, who has served the Company as Director of Technology, will be returning to Sandia National Labs.
