About Us

Nascent Design Inc. was organized in 2006 to develop and bring to market the most promising intellectual property (inventions) of the company founders.  Nascent means "coming into existence."  We are highly motivated by the emergent aspect of developing meaningful, new ideas that actually help people.  This genesis dynamic drives our thinking, our purpose, and our enthusiasm at NDI.     















Our rental industry award-winning Power Shifter® rapid change engine mounting system was our highest profile project to that point.  Since then we've been hard at work developing solutions for medical and laboratory equipment, consumer and pet products, and tools.  Other projects include a solar tracker to maximize harvest for sustainable energy and a machine vision solution for robotics - not to mention our all-new NDI Mask Savers™ in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Professional Services

We offer specialized technical services B2B and help for individual inventors including new product design, innovative engineered solutions and product development, rapid prototyping (see photo) drawing creation and 3D solid modeling, patenting, and manufacturing-both high and low volume production.  We can also rebuild, upgrade, and retrofit machines to give new life to old machinery! 















Patents Assigned to Others 

Behrens originated intellectual property for previous employers as follows:  Patents one and two are for a special bearing design that allows light thrust loads to be handled by a needle bearing--which normally can sustain only a radial load.  

Patent three is for a hospital patient lifting device that can:
  • lift a fallen, heavy patient from the floor
  • straddle a bed or operating table for patient transport
  • carry ancillary equipment such as monitors, oxygen, etc.
  • include a privacy curtain and call chime
  • weigh the patient being carried, for dosing considerations

Investors

The Power Shifter® system, and our other intellectual property is available for licensing, allowing manufacturers to realize all the advantages of our products and systems. 

Funding meaningful technologies that offer sustainable benefits is now--and has always been--a sound investment philosophy.  We believe we are creating exactly this kind of opportunity.
