LAS VEGAS, NV — (Marketwire) — 07/19/12 — (OTCBB: CTDT) (OTCQB: CTDT) is pleased to provide a review of its patents.
US Patent 7,854,823 entitled, “Synthesis of Diamond by Extraction of a Pulse Derived from the Abrupt Collapse of a Magnetic Field”, was issued on December 21, 2010. This technology is a process for converting carbonaceous material into diamond, utilizing the compressive force derived from an abruptly collapsing magnetic field.
The Company conducted a series of tests before the technology was perfected to the point of a patent application. In 2006, a sample “cultured” diamond was sent to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The resultant report #14882271 confirmed the synthetic source as diamond after resubmission by an independent outside consultant.
Patent Number 5,254,237 entitled, “Plasma Arc Apparatus for Producing Diamond Semiconductor Devices”, was issued on October 19, 1993.
The above developments led to the negotiations and execution of operator consultations, lease of equipment (without tooling) and use of facilities currently available in Rhode Island. The Centaurus team conducted a plant visit to Tabco Products Inc. on June 25 – 27, 2012 and signed an agreement on July 17, 2012 to commence Centaurus– diamond production process.
Centaurus– goal is to produce diamonds that have multiple industrial applications that can be used in machining and cutting tools, as thermal conductors for high power laser diodes and high power transistors. They can also be used as optical material to replace zinc selenide and as the output window of high power CO2 lasers and gyrotrons. Industrial diamonds are predominately used for their hardness and thermal conductivity, possessing four times the conductivity of copper. The gemological characteristics of gem-quality diamonds, such as clarity and color are largely irrelevant. That is why 80 percent of diamonds mined every year, or more than 100 million carats, are not suited for use in jewelry and are channeled for industrial use.
The diverse number of uses for synthetic diamonds presents an immense and exciting opportunity for us at Centaurus and we look forward to development of our patented process.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world–s foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones and pearls. GIA exists to protect all purchasers of gemstones, by providing the education, laboratory services, research and instruments needed to accurately and objectively determine gemstone quality.

Centaurus has been established to fully commercialize its proprietary, cost-efficient and high-volume diamond production method to provide industrial quality diamonds. The Company–s patented technology enables the production of “cultured” diamonds that are chemically, atomically and structurally identical to natural diamonds. The Gemological Institute of America has tested the Company–s “cultured” diamonds and has confirmed they are diamonds according to their testing protocols.
