“DNA is an
abbreviation for deoxyribonucleicantidisestablishmentarianism, a complex string of syllables.” -- Dave Barry (American Writer and
Humorist best known for his weekly newspaper column. b.1947)
Sometimes the results of a simple Google® search can provide clues that lead to
valuable information. For example, a
search for TIAX LLC led to SBIR, which provided the TIAX DUNS number. Googling the DUNS number resulted in
information on various contracts the company has had with various agencies of
the Federal Government. Here are the
details of the steps along that path …
///////
STEP 1
Google® Search String: TIAX LLC
One result:
Tiax LLC - SBIR Source
sbirsource.com/sbir/firms/283-tiax-llc
To develop concepts for affordable flexhoses that meet the Navy military
specification requirements for MIL-H-24135B and that last the average life of a
ship (40 ...
STEP 2
SBIR Source reminded me of SBIR (www.sbir.gov),
which stands for Small Business Innovative Research.
STEP 3
I searched the SBIR Company Registry, using Search String:
TIAX
Result: DUNS: 111046152
STEP 4
Google® Search String: DUNS: 111046152
One Result: NASA's Budget: Vendor Overview
DUNS Number: 111046152. Vendor: TIAX LLC. Vendor Location: Lexington, MA.
Number of Employees: 176. Annual Revenue: $30.00M.
NASA Contracts to this vendor:
Procurement ID: NNX08CB67P
Total $99,944.8M
Most Recent Activity Date 02/06/2008
Signed Date 02/06/2008
Completion Date 08/05/2008
source: http://www.govbudgets.com/dunsNumber/111046152/TIAX_LLC/
///////
And there's more. But you get the
point. Obviously, this particular
approach won’t help with companies that don’t do work for the Federal
Government.
But, there may be other clues that can lead you to valuable information on the
company you are researching.
The thing to remember is that there is no one source you can go to for a complete
picture of a company. You need to explore multiple avenues … especially when the
subject is privately held.

TIAX (Part 4) – First Contact
“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in
your work.” -- Gustave Flaubert (French writer, 1821-1880)
The last post resulted in an ordered list of a few of the researchers associated with TIAX LLC, as shown below. Now suppose that you wanted to contact one or two of the names on the list. Scroll down for tips on one way to find email addresses of people associated with a particular company.
To find a company's email ADDRESS pattern, using TIAX LLC as an example ...
GOOGLE® SEARCH STRING: "email * * tiaxllc.com"
RESULTS
unnasch.stefan@TIAXLLC.com
rutherford.daniel@tiaxllc.com
westphalen.d@tiaxllc.com
Spangler.Ron@TIAXLLC.com
Jackson.michael@tiaxllc.com
oboyle.j@tiaxllc.com
mowatt.twig@TIAXLLC.com
barney.william@tiaxllc.com
Sahin.K@TIAXLLC.com
We can see that a typical TIAX email address is LASTNAME.FIRSTNAME@TIAXLLC.COM or LASTNAME.FIRSTINITIAL@TIAXLLC.COM. A quick way to find a particular individual's email address is to use a wild card to standin for that individual's first name or first initial. For example ...
GOOGLE® SEARCH STRING: "email onnerud * tiaxllc.com"
RESULT: onnerud.p@tiaxllc.com
GOOGLE® SEARCH STRING: "email treger * tiaxllc.com"
RESULT: treger.jack@tiaxllc.com
GOOGLE® SEARCH STRING: "email ofer * tiaxllc.com"
RESULT: ofer.david@tiaxllc.com
Try this technique on a company of your choice … and let me know what you think.

TIAX (Part 3) - Expertise
“I never forget a
face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.” -- Groucho Marx (American
Comedian, Actor and Singer, 1890-1977)
In Part 3 of the TIAX case study, we continue to ride the hyperlink express by changing trains. We hop off of the Assignee train and onto the Inventor train.
First, we revisit the familiar ExxonMobil patent (https://www.google.com/patents/US8490581?dq=US8490581+B2&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XNZWU_rRJsLcyQGa_4DwBw&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA) and click the TIAX hyperlink in the Assignee field. The result is list of some 380 TIAX patents.
Second, we click a patent, then click one or more of the inventor hyperlinks.
Third, we make a note of the inventor and the number of patents he or she has produced.
Tabulating the total, we can get a good picture of the most productive inventors, and hence those individuals with the greatest expertise in a particular field.
Here, for example, is a list of TIAX affiliated inventors from the first two pages of Google Patents results …
