Arie Ariav,
35+ years in precision measurement.
Arie Ariav has spent 35+ years turning precision measurement into products that shipped — ~1,000 units, global customers, 26 patents. Offner Technologies is that same discipline aimed at the hardest measurement he has taken on: seeing inside the body without touching it.
Arie Ariav — builder of measurement instruments.
Arie Ariav is not only an inventor — he is an operator. Over 35+ years he has carried precision-measurement instruments from physics to paying customers: the first generation of this platform shipped in ~1,000 units to global customers, and he holds 26 patents, many of them in the medical field.
The industry took his work seriously. He structured joint development agreements with four global industry leaders, and General Electric carried out technology due diligence on it. His 2005 patent for sensor-based cardiac gating (published as U.S. 2006/0264739) was later cited in GE's own patent — and GE applied his earlier technology in its MRI systems, presented at the RSNA annual meeting. His physics inside other people's imaging systems.
NL-SWI is not his first measurement platform. It is the one where the physics finally allows what medicine actually needs: seeing inside the body without touching it.
Proven past. Open frontier.
Years
At the frontier of precision measurement.
Units shipped
First generation of the platform, to global customers.
Joint development agreements
With global industry leaders — including technology due diligence by GE.
Patents held
Many in the medical field — breath, physiological sensing and bone measurement — plus U.S. Application No. 63/996,286 for NL-SWI, filed March 2026.
From instruments to imaging.
1 · Precision instruments
A career spent at the frontier of precision measurement — turning physical principles into instruments that work outside the lab.
2 · The first platform
A measurement platform built and shipped in ~1,000 units to global customers (a different medical application) — with 26 patents and joint development agreements with global industry leaders along the way.
3 · The medical turn
The same measurement discipline turned to the hardest target: the living body. His 2005 cardiac-gating patent (U.S. 2006/0264739) was later cited in GE's own patent — and GE applied his technology in its MRI systems, presented at RSNA.
4 · NL-SWI — March 2026
U.S. Application No. 63/996,286 filed with the USPTO — a measurement method designed to see inside the body without touching it. Next milestone: the first built device, with a partner.
The physics has published anchors.
The NL-SWI thesis rests on independently published research — including a NASA Langley study that recorded 0.00038 rad phase resolution with the same class of ultrasonic phase measurement, and work dating to 1954 documenting that the speed of sound in the eye's fluid shifts with dissolved sugar. Neither tested NL-SWI; both show the ceiling is far higher than the field assumes.

A filed application, not a promise.
Patent pending: Natural Locking Standing Wave Imaging (NL-SWI), U.S. Application No. 63/996,286, filed with the USPTO in March 2026. Conversion to non-provisional / PCT is a known deadline on the roadmap.
