of research, a team of scientists, physicists and engineers at Dartmouth College, led by the world’s foremost ice physicist, Dr. Victor Petrenko, have unlocked the secrets of the physics of ice. ICECODE has invested over $8 Million to date to support the research and to integrate the Dartmouth discoveries with proprietary, application specific technologies in order to unleash the power of ice to benefit all people. ICECODE invents and licenses these revolutionary and disruptive technologies impacting all things having to do with controlling and managing ice. Products utilizing ICECODE technology dramatically reduce the consumption of energy and can reduce manufacturing cost, thereby creating and delivering significant and sustainable value.

a high-power electric pulse that concentrates quick and intense heating only at the ice/substrate interface. The intense heating process is not employed for an extended period of time as with conventional defrosting or de-icing systems; rather it is briefly directed to specific key target areas, thereby reducing wasted heat and energy, and providing significant benefits to both consumers and manufacturers. ICECODE Technology • The technology consists of: – 50 issued patents – Over 80 pending US and foreign patent applications • The core technology is: Pulse Electro-Thermal De-icing (PETD) 6 6 Ice Code LLC | Po Box 5447 | West Lebanon, NH 03784 | USA | 888-448-9206 | www.IceCode.com
