After conquering Everest in 2006, Integrity Engineering’s Zoggles™ anti-fog/anti-ice technology won NASA’s coveted Create the Future international new technology competition in 2009, surpassing thousands of entries submitted by scientists and engineers from over 50 nations. Zoggles™ is the world’s first completely electronic anti-fog/anti-ice technology, with over 300 separate applications ranging from eyeglasses to astronaut space suits. Then in 2010 Popular Science magazine awarded Integrity Engineering's Zoggles™ completely electronic predict-and-prevent anti-fog anti-frost technology Invention of the Year status for 2010.

Mr. Don Skomsky, inventor of Zoggles™ will be the featured speaker at the May meeting. This is the worlds first 100% electronic anti-fog technology that prevents any object from fogging or frosting. Backed by three U.S. Utility Patents, Zoggles™ controls environmental conditions to prevent condensation. This technology has been applied to eyeglasses, scuba masks, ski goggles, motorcycle helmets and binoculars. Mr. Skomsky will discuss the development path of Zoggles™ from conception, product development, patent and legal issues, business planning and commercial applications. A question and answer session will follow the presentation. American Society of Inventors Directors will be on hand to answer any questions related to the invention process.
