hi holzofen,

also tesco, die drittgrößte supermarktkette der welt, führt unseren atigo ein. die geräte sind für die bearbeitung der elektr. auftragseingänge gedacht, insgesamt geht die order über " mehrere tausend stück". das erste lot geht über 1.300 stk. ( ca. $ 2 mio)für 300 märkte. die lieferungen haben bereits begonnen.

weiterhin folgt noch ein servicecontract, dieser ist in den 9mio noch nicht beinhaltet. dazu werden die mobiles für viele andere bereiche wie z.b. logistik, bestückung, house management, etc. getestet. richtig interessant wird es allerdings erst wenn es um RFID geht.

According to VTB`s management, intends to become the most technological bank in Russia in three years. In fact, the VTB formally documented IT strategy indicates that the banks` management plans to spend more than $100 million on ITT enhancements to achieve these objectives.

Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut.

Wirtschafts-/High-Tech-Redakteure

FAIRFAX (Virginia) und MOSKAU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--8. November 2004-- Vneshtorgbank beauftragt Xybernaut mit Dienstleistungen rund um Hardware, Software und Gesamtlösungen zur Rationalisierung der Betriebsabläufe und des Kundendienstes

Die Xybernaut(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: XYBR) wurde, wie das Unternehmen heute meldete, von der Vneshtorgbank (VTB) - Russlands zweitgrößter Bank mit der offiziellen Bezeichnung "Bank für Außenhandel" - als Zulieferer für Informationstechnologie (IT) ausgewählt, mit der eine Reihe von Verbesserungen in den betrieblichen Abläufen, im Kundendienst und in der Gesamteffizienz des Bankgeschäfts erzielt werden sollen.

Auf Grund des Abkommens, das das große Interesse am Know-how von Xybernaut erkennen lässt, wird Xybernaut als technischer Dienstleister und Auftragnehmer bzw. Integrator für Hardware, Software und Gesamtlösungen tätig werden. Das Abkommen sieht mehrere IT-Modernisierungsphasen vor, in denen die Computerarchitektur der Bank im Verlauf des Jahres 2005 und darüber hinaus schrittweise auf den neuesten Stand gebracht werden soll.

Wie verlautete, hat die VTB ähnliche Abkommen auch schon mit IBM, HP, Cisco und Microsoft geschlossen, also durchweg mit amerikanischen Unternehmen, die ebenfalls Teil des IT-Teams für diese Initiative sein werden. Daneben hat die VTB russische IT-Unternehmen unter Vertrag genommen, die die einzelnen Integrationsmaßnahmen im Laufe des Jahres 2006 leiten werden. Diese Unternehmen sind: "Compulink", ein Partner von Avaya und IBM, "i-Teco", ein Partner von HP und Microsoft, "Jet Infosystems", ein Partner von Sun Microsystems, und "Microtest", ein Partner von Cisco Systems.

Nach eigenen Schätzungen gibt die VTB derzeit zwischen 30 und 40 Millionen US-$ jährlich für die Weiterentwicklung ihrer Informations- und Telekommunikations-Infrastruktur (ITT) aus. Wie vom VTB-Management zu hören ist, verfolgt das Unternehmen das erklärte Ziel, innerhalb von drei Jahren zur technologisch führenden Bank in Russland aufzusteigen. Dies spiegelt sich auch in der von der VTB formal dokumentierten IT-Strategie wider, in der die Geschäftsleitung der Bank plant, mehr als 100 Millionen US-$ für die ITT-Modernisierung aufzuwenden, um diese Ziele zu erreichen.

"Diese Initiative zur ITT-Modernisierung ist ein ganz entscheidender Schritt, von dem wir uns quantifizierbare Verbesserungen unserer betrieblichen Effizienz und der Qualität unseres Kundendienstes versprechen", erklärte Andrej Korotkow, Senior Vice President der VTB. "Xybernaut haben wir in unser Technologie-Team aufgenommen, weil Xybernaut auf dem Gebiet der mobilen und portablen Computeranwendungen beachtliche Erfolge in Projekten mit staatlichen Großkunden und Fortune-500-Unternehmen vorweisen kann. Wir sind nicht nur an der Hardware und den Systemen von Xybernaut interessiert, sondern auch am Know-how, am geistigen Eigentum und an den Lösungen dieses Anbieters. Diese Kombination von Fähigkeiten war ein wichtiges Differenzierungskriterium in unserem Auswahlprozess. Wir haben bereits mehrere IT-Zielvorgaben formuliert, für deren Erfüllung Xybernaut vorgesehen ist."

Xybernaut und die anderen ITT-Entwicklungspartner von VTB planen die Anwendung eines abgestuften Konzepts, das bankweit implementiert werden soll. Zu den einzelnen Komponenten gehören Pilotprogramme, Erprobungs- und Auswertungsphasen sowie Berichte und Optimierungsmaßnahmen im Hinblick auf Bereiche wie etwa die Integration mit vorhandenen VTB-Informationstechnologien, ferner Leistungsmessungen, Schulungen und Studien zur Investitionsrentabilität (Return on Investment, ROI).

"VTB baut gegenwärtig ein sternförmig organisiertes Team von IT-Providern auf, und wir freuen uns darauf, mit unserem Expertenwissen, unserer Erfahrung und unseren Technologien einen Beitrag zu einer Gesamtlösung zu leisten, mit der sich die VTB klar vom Wettbewerb abhebt", meinte Steven A. Newman, Präsident und COO von Xybernaut. "Unsere nachweisbaren Erfolge im Banken- und Finanzsektor - beispielsweise unsere Atigo-Implementierung für das NYMEX-Mitgliedsunternehmen MBF Clearing Corp. - bieten wertvolle Perspektiven und Erfahrungswerte, die für die strategische Planung und Bewertung der Aktivitäten für die VTB genutzt werden können."

Die VTB unterhält gegenwärtig 48 Regionalvertretungen in 11 Zeitzonen und über 1000 Filialen in ganz Russland. Erst kürzlich hat die VTB mehrere Banken übernommen, die zu den Top 30 der russischen Geldinstitute gehören. Die Integration dieser Banken und weiterer Übernahmekandidaten ist ein Bereich, in dem die Strategie zum Ausbau der ITT beträchtliche Vorteile bringen dürfte.

Von allen russischen Banken unterhält die VTB das am weitesten verzweigte Korrespondentennetz. International wird die Bank durch fünf Tochterunternehmen in Zürich (Schweiz), Limassol (Zypern), Wien (Österreich), Luxemburg und Eriwan (Armenien) repräsentiert, ferner durch eine Partnerbank in Frankfurt am Main (Deutschland) sowie durch Repräsentanzen in Mailand (Italien), Peking (China), Kiew (Ukraine) und Minsk (Weißrussland).

Außer mit der Erbringung der traditionellen Bankdienstleistungen beschäftigt sich die VTB auch aktiv mit der Entwicklung von Einzelhandelsmärkten, der Kreditierung von Kleinunternehmen und der Vergabe von Hypotheken für Geschäfts- und Wohnimmobilien. Daneben verwaltet die VTB ein Versicherungsunternehmen mit lückenlosem Dienstleistungsspektrum und mehrere Leasinggesellschaften. Weitere Informationen zur VTB sind zu finden unter http://eng.vtb.ru.

moin,

es kam wie es kommen musste. die kriegen nie nen ordentlichen cc hin.

in den 3,2mio sind bereits 400k von tesco drin und genau das war meine befürchtung, dass der umsatz wieder unter 3mio im q3 gefallen ist.

tesco, vneschtorgbank und die dod adds-on spielten irgendwie keine große rolle.

Die insgesamt 100 companys die unsere patente verletzen wurden auch nur kurz angeprochen. nach dem alten motto " in kürze mehr"

neue contracte in asien sollen kurz vor dem abschlussstehen und in q1/05 veröffentlicht werden.

viel bla-bla und nichts konkretes.

wird wohl wieder kein schönes weihnachtsfest für uns

humphy

[humphy]

fast vergessen. q4 soll in jedem fall ein neuer umsatzrekord ( kann man das bei den verlusten so nennen?)
kommen. d.h. > 4,5mio und ergibt ca.16mio jahresumsatz.

Shenzhen continues to be Asia`s top major computer manufacturing base


With over 3,000 computer manufacturers and impressive growth figures for 2001, Shenzhen is mainland China`s reigning PC manufacturing champion

Shenzhen, located on Guangdong province`s south coast between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, covers an area of 2,020 square kilometers. The city has eight port areas, including Yantian, Shekou, Chiwan and Mawan. Yantian is the largest, with container costs being 30 percent to 40 percent lower than in Hong Kong. Warehousing and trade facilities are concentrated in areas such as Futian and Shatoujiao free trade areas close to the Hong Kong border.

According to an official from the Shenzhen Bureau of Economic Development, the city`s industrial output value will exceed $48.19 billion by 2005. The figure is nearly double the value of $25.04 billion in 1999.

Major industries in the city include computers and software, telecommunications, microelectronics and basic components. By 2005, the exports of computers, telecommunications equipment, micro-electronics and basic components will be worth $21.57 billion.

Between January and September 2001, Shenzhen`s production of computer products was worth $6.86 billion, up by 23 percent from the same period in 2000, according to the Shenzhen Statistic Bureau. Over the same period, export values rose by 30 percent.

According to industry sources, Shenzhen has become mainland China`s largest PC producer. The city produced 1.07 million computers last year, between 20 percent and 25 percent of the country`s total. The output of information technology products totaled nearly $10 billion, about 15 percent of the country`s total.

Leading Chinese and international IT producers, including Huawei, Zhongxing, IBM, Compact, Lucent, have set up manufacturing centers in Shenzhen. The city is also home to more than 400 software companies.

Shenzhen`s manufacturers of computer components and accessories have captured 42 percent of the national market for printers, and a large percentage for most other peripherals.

Major computer production base in Asia

Despite a global IT slump, Shenzhen has become an important computer product manufacturing base in Asia, partly because of its efficient procurement support system. According to the Shenzhen Foreign Investment Bureau, about 400 foreign-funded ventures are among an estimated 3,000 computer companies located in the city and its suburbs. International IT giants such as IBM, Apple, Compaq, Epson, HP and Toshiba have production bases in Shenzhen. IBM`s investment has reached $100 million since it settled down in the city in 1991.

Leading motherboard maker Taiwan Elite Group Computer has invested $84 million in a new production line with a monthly capacity of 1 million units. Taiwan Foxconn Group has invested $120 million in Longhua Industrial Park - the major industrial area in Shenzhen for major computer products.

ISO9000-certified, most makers undertake OEM projects for popular brands worldwide.

Top suppliers and what they offer

The top CP makers in Shenzhen and their specialties are: Hasee Computer Technology Co. Ltd - desktop PCs, monitors, motherboards IIPC Inc. - desktop PCs KTC Electronics Co. Ltd - monitors Netech Technology Co. Ltd - flash ROMs, hard disks Ramaxel Technology Co. Ltd - SDRAMs, DDRs, Flash ROMs, hard disks Shenzhen Great Wall Computer Co. Ltd - monitors, PDAs, hard disks Shenzhen PowerLeader Technology Co. Ltd - servers Shenzhen Sunshine Hi-Tech Co. Ltd - PDAs TCL Technology Co. Ltd - desktop PCs, PDAs, servers TP-Link Technology Co. Ltd - Ethernet cards, switches T&W Electronics Co. Ltd - motherboards, modems, STBs

A closer look at the computer makers

A large part of industry income comes from motherboards and cards produced by Elite Group, T&W, Hasee and TP-Link.

TFT-LCD monitor makers, led by Great Wall, KTC and Hasee, are expanding their annual capacities - Great Wall by up to 4 million units and KTC by 1.2 million units.

Great Wall, Netech and Ramaxel expect larger orders for their hard disks due to their low price. Hard disk production has a low labor input.

"Mainland China has developed a huge supply market for servers, with a 70 percent yearly growth," said Li Rui-Jie, general manager of PowerLeader. The company is reputed to have pioneered server production in the mainland. With Intel as partner, it has built up an automatic production line with an annual capacity of 20,000 servers.

"Buyers can find fully-equipped suppliers of computer peripherals in Shenzhen," said Great Wall general manager Wang Zhi. They include about 1,500 suppliers of PC cases, monitors, cards and cables for IBM.

Maker offers PDA with own OS

Top PDA maker Sunshine Hi-Tech has its own patented OS, Sunshine 2000. The company is currently in the research stage for developing a GPRS/GSM Mobile PDA, which doubles as a mobile phone. "The PDA function strengthens the mobile phone functions by allowing for greater integration," said assistant manager Xiong Xiao-qiu.

Sunshine Hi-Tech extends the PDA`s storage capability with a SmartMedia Card. Its Sunshine PPC 2188 provides the standard extension. It supports the Motorola 68328 32-bit CPU, with 2M of flash ROM. The SmartMedia card extends the ROM by up to 64M.

Optional external devices include an MP3 player, a digital camera and a digital sound recorder.

aus military & aerospace electronics

Wired and ready to wear

Military systems designers are adapting and ­fielding wearable computers perfected in the ­commercial world for defense personnel worldwide.

Commercial inventions such as the ­Apple Computer iPod or personal data assistants (PDA) are the most well-known forms of wearable computers; everyone uses them, from grocery clerks to CEOs. The U.S. Armed Forces are adopting wearable computers rapidly as well, but their devices will tend to be more rugged than commercial wearables, and their missions more critical than just scheduling meetings or doing inventory.

Wearable computers - devices that are attached or integrated into an individual’s clothing - are considered to be the electronic heart of the soldier of the future.

Military applications for wearable computers in the past typically included maintenance electronics and medical devices to help experts quickly diagnose equipment malfunctions and soldiers’ wounds in the field.

Now, thanks to state-of-art technology and inventive minds in industry and government laboratories, engineers are developing computers that are wired into clothing and have the capability to track enemy targets, network the soldier with air, land, and sea forces, monitor his physical health, and even translate native languages. Devices are also in production that will aid law enforcement and military personnel in the global war on terrorism.

Wearable trends are moving away from “one size fits all” toward a scalable family of products with common architecture, but sized depending on the role and mission, according to Chris Marzilli, a vice president and deputy general manager for General Dynamics C4 Systems (GD C4S) in Scottsdale, Ariz. For example, an infantry soldier may only require voice communication and position reporting, whereas a company or battalion commander may ­require display of friend/foe location and more complete operational messaging.

Other trends include embedded tactical communication modems for interoperability, with a gamut of VHF, UHF, and satellite radios, Marzilli says. Also playing important roles in wearable computing, ­according to Marzilli, are secure precise Global ­Positioning Systems, advanced chemistry batteries and future fuel cells, body networks configurable to introduce new devices seamlessly as they become available.

Of equal importance are low-power sunlight-readable displays for night-vision goggles, detachable flexible displays based on organic light-emitting- diode (OLED) technology, head-up displays, and open-interface connectivity to advanced weapons and sensors, Marzilli says.

GD C4S is the prime contractor for the U.S. Army’s Land Warrior program and as part of that system is developing an advanced soldier ensemble with a true wearable computer interfaced on a USB 2.0 “personal area network” with body hub, Marzilli says.

The company also is the prime contractor for the Common Hardware Software program, for which engineers are developing the Commander’s Digital Assistant, with PDA and tablet variants that provide squad and platoon-level leaders with a situational- awareness display up to full SGA resolution in a 6.5-inch diagonal screen, embedded tactical modem, secure GPS, and 1.1-GHz M processor running any of Windows, Solaris, or Linux operating systems.

Land Warrior integrates everything the foot soldier wears and carries into a close-combat fighting system that enhances his situational awareness, lethality, and survivability.

The wearable computer will offer situational awareness to the infantry soldier that will help separate friend from foe. The driving forces behind these computers are commercial companies, which are taking advantage of a fast-growing market.

Market potential
Tim Shea, senior analyst at Venture Development Corp. in Natick, Mass., says the wearable-computer market should grow to about $560 million worldwide by 2008 with government/military/homeland security applications taking up about $74 million, if the Army’s Land Warrior system is fielded by then.

“Government/military usage is primarily spread across battlefield, logistics, and vehicle/aircraft maintenance applications,” Shea says. “We’re also starting to see small transactions for wearables among first responders and other homeland security areas starting to grow.”

Companies leading the way with products for the military include Microvision in Bothell Wash., Xybernaut in Fairfax, Va., General Dynamics C4 Systems, Argon Corp. in Great Neck, N.Y., and InfoLogix in Bensalem, Pa.

Microvision
In a company white paper, “Out the Hatch Situational Awareness,” Microvision officials describe how their wearable computer, Nomad, improves situational awareness for commanders in the field.

Situational awareness, the paper points out, drives the need for electronic information on opposing forces, neutrals and noncombatants, terrain maps, spot reports and messages, vehicle sensors such as driver vision enhancement and gunner displays, and “the time-tested human vision of the surrounding tactical environment.”

“With situational awareness armor units can confidently and swiftly take the fight to the enemy while avoiding friendly fire incidents,’’ according to the Microvision report. “Today’s challenge is to provide the Tank Commander/Vehicle Commander and the unit leader with tactical area situational awareness.”

The Nomad helmet-mounted display enables the commander to keep his head outside the vehicle while also accessing ­vehicle displays. It provides electronic information that is visible under all lighting conditions and enables the commander/ leader to remain aware of his situation without ducking into the vehicle.


The Nomad wearable computer from Microvision provides commanders in the field with improved situational awareness.

One hundred Nomad helmet-mounted display systems have been deployed in Iraq, Microvision officials say. “Feedback from the field has been overwhelmingly positive with comments like - the only problem with the Nomad is that we don’t have enough of them,” according to the company white paper. “For the 3-20 Brigade, the Nomad Helmet Mounted Display consisted of a display module attached to the helmet, a video control module mounted to the vehicle, with a cable connected to the FBCB2 [Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade-and-Below] computer system. For the 1-25 Brigade the system has been ­upgraded to provide the ability to switch between the FBCB2, thermal weapon display, and thermal driver’s display with head-out-of-the-hatch operation. Nomad is a see-through, daylight readable display repeater in both applications.”

“There is close correlation between the rapid deployment/rapid engagement operational requirements of the Stryker brigade and the need of the Stryker commander to monitor tactical digital information while maintaining visual contact with the battlefield,” says Andrew Lee, Microvision’s vice president of sales. “The Nomad Augmented Vision System provides a high-contrast, daylight-readable, see-through display of battlefield information, enabling the commander to continuously view outside situations as they develop.”

The Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) is designed to bridge the gap between the Army’s light and heavy ­armored forces. The units provide combat commanders increased operational and tactical flexibility. An eight-wheeled medium weight armored vehicle, it is the SBCT’s primary combat and combat support platform.

Xybernaut
Xybernaut, one of the fastest-growing wearable computer companies, has devices in all branches of U.S. Military.

The Xybernaut belt-mounted computer enables users to tap into whatever logistical information they may need for a particular mission.

One of their most recent wins is to ­deploy wireless Xybernaut Atigo T/HB, “high bright” mobile/wearable computers for U.S. Army Apache attack helicopter maintenance at Fort Campbell, Ky. These machines, which are tailored to support personnel who work most often in outdoor sunlight, are to support the Army’s automated logbook application that helps maintain Apache helicopters. This technology is to reduce “off aircraft” maintenance time and increase real time maintenance awareness.

Companies and field-maintenance technicians for mission-critical equipment need a tool that minimizes the need for experts to travel to remove service and repair locations, can cut repair/service costs, and make repairs easier and more efficient, Xybernaut officials say.

The devices provide field technicians with a comfortable and powerful mobile computer integrated with a portable sat­ellite communications unit, Xybernaut officials say. It enables technicians in the field to access experts wirelessly from any location. The ability to work remotely through live video feeds and data sharing minimizes the amount of down time of the equipment being repaired, company officials claim.

Xybernaut’s latest wearable product integrated with a garment collar received U.S. Patent 6,798,391, “Wearable Computer System.” The system has a wearable computer with its components movably located in a collar (which the user wears around his or her neck. The computer components can be a display, monitor, a microphone, or audio headset.

The computer components can extend beyond the confines of the collar and are adjustable - such as to be moved near the user’s face. When the components are not in use, they can retract back inside the collar for convenience and protection, company officials say.

“For the war fighter and first responder the ability to gain access to computing and communication capabilities in a hands- free manner is essential.” For the field service technician, the mechanic, and many others it is simply the most efficient way they can possibly to their jobs,” says Steven A. Newman, president and chief operating officer of Xybernaut.

General Dynamics
Officials at General Dynamics C4 Systems are providing the U.S. Air Force with 10 prototype tablet computers powered by direct liquid-fuel cells for evaluation as a potential replacement for the service’s current ground air-traffic-control computers.

The program will combine commercial off-the-shelf computer equipment with privately developed fuel-cell technology, and could enable extended field operations that would reduce the Air Force’s ­reliance on centrally located recharging apparatus and spare batteries, General Dynamics officials say.

As a subcontractor to SRA International Inc. of Fairfax, Va., on the program, General Dynamics is responsible for overall systems engineering, program management, and subcontract management, and will deliver 10 prototype GoBook tablet computers from Itronix in Spokane, Wash., and five prototype fuel-cell power packs and associated refueling cartridges.

Medis Technologies Ltd. in New York will supply the fuel-cell systems, which have previously been demonstrated to operate portable electronic devices. Officials of the Air Force Research Lab at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, will test the system in the field.

“This science and technology initiative will equip the U.S. Air Force with an ­enhanced Battlefield Air Operations kit, including an advanced computing platform with increased endurance for dismounted missions in an overall lighter, wearable and more deployable package,” Marzilli says. “The prototype also could have implications for multiple Department of Defense instruments and applications, including, among other candidate products, powering the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Cluster 5 family of handheld and embedded software-defined radios.

“The first instantiation is an adapted industrial rugged tablet computer and its ‘wearability’ is limited to a hand/wrist strap and a soldier portable carrying case,” Marzilli continues. “The next ­generation will incorporate an entire ­ensemble and be more ‘body worn.’ GD C4S developed the complete requirements and design specification for the tablet and fuel-cell run-time extender in consult with the respective OEMs. The hardware item designs were the responsibility of Medis for the fuel cell and Itronix for the tablet PC. The first deliveries will be with a 1.6-GHz Pentium-M CPU module.”

Project results are to be released in a ­final report about 13 months after the project’s start. The project also will evaluate potential modifications to the Itronix GoBook that would enable compatibility with night-vision goggles, enable increased daylight readability, enable the computer to boot in “stealth” mode without audio or video detection, operate with a passive touch screen, and other enhancements, GD C4S officials say.

Argon
Combat systems designers at International Technologies Lasers Ltd. (ITLasers) in Rishon-Le-Zion, Israel, are using a rugged wearable computer from Argon Corp. in Great Neck, N.Y.

Designed to fit in a pocket, the Argon Wearable PC weighs 1.25 pounds, has an 800-MHz x86-compatible processor, and runs Windows or Linux applications. It has a solid-state flash hard drive as large as three gigabytes, built-in 10/100 baseT Ethernet, optional modem, and capability to connect external devices over RS422/485, RS232, and USB ports.

InfoLogix
The Via II-CT wearable computers from Infologix in Bensalem, Pa., are used in applications for the U.S. Army, McDonalds, Frito-Lay, and Northwest Airlines.

The II-CT weighs 1.6 pounds and offers hands-free use in a variety of functions. Features include 128 megabytes of DDR SDRAM memory (as much as 256 megabytes of DDR), a 6.4-gigabyte hard drive (or more), and two Type II PCMCIA card slots. The InfoLogix II-CT PC runs either Windows 2000 or XP.

The body-worn computer makes it possible for mobile users to record and track information with the power of a full-function desktop - all in the form of a wearable PC, InfoLogix officials say.

The device’s Crusoe processor provides customers with the ability to choose the amount of processing power best suited to their application. The functionality of the wearable can be ­expanded by adding peripherals such as handheld displays, wireless LANs, GPS, cellular phone, and video cameras. The II-CT 667 uses the Transmeta Crusoe 5600 running at 667‑MHz and the II-CT 1G uses the Transmeta Crusoe 5800 running at 1 GHz.

The computer’s lithium-ion batteries last for as much as six hours and are hot-swappable.

HK Bourse: Press Release from Softbank Invest Intl (Strategic) -5


This announcement is for information purposes only and does not
constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or subscribe
for the securities of the Company.
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited takes no responsibility for
the contents of this announcement, makes no representation as to its
accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability
whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon
the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
SOFTBANK INVESTMENT INTERNATIONAL (STRATEGIC) LIMITED
(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
(HKSE: 00648)
SHARE AND DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION
Further Issuance of SIIS Shares to Xybernaut China Limited
and Share Subscription Supplemental Agreement and Further Issuance
of SIIS Shares to
iMediaHouse Asia Limited
Further Issuance of SIIS Shares to Xybernaut China Limited
Reference is made to the announcement dated 8 July 2004 in relation
to, inter alia, the Supplemental Agreement amending the Shareholders`
Agreement, in particular, the provisions relating to the subscription
of shares in XCN.
Whereas the Company agreed to subscribe or procure its nominee
subsidiary to subscribe for 400 shares in XCN at the subscription
price of US$2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$15,600,000), it
was also agreed that as part payment of the subscription price, the
Company would, within 15 days after the date of execution of the
Supplemental Agreement dated 7 July 2004, or at such other date as
may be agreed between the parties to the Supplemental Agreement, pay
to XCN a first payment of an amount of not less than US$1 million. As
payment of the remainder of the subscription price, the Company would
then within 9 months after the date of the first payment, pay to XCN
the second payment of an amount of not less than US$1 million. It was
further agreed that as part payment of the subscription price, the
Company may satisfy the payments either by (i) paying such amount in
cash to XCN or (ii) subject to having obtained all requisite
approvals from applicable regulatory authorities and the Stock
Exchange, by issuing its own securities to XCN for such amount as
capital contribution to XCN. On 5 August 2004, the Company issued
78,000,000 SIIS Shares to XCN at an issue price of HK$0.10 per share
to satisfy the first payment of the subscription price.
Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, XCN would dispose the SIIS
Shares issued under the first payment and the second payment and the
proceeds of such disposal(s) would be used as capital contribution to
XCN. It was also agreed that in the event that such proceeds amounted
to less than US$2 million under either first payment or second
payment (where applicable), the Company issue additional SIIS
Share(s) to XCN until the proceeds from the disposal of such
additional SIIS Share(s), together with the disposed SIIS Shares,
amounted to US$2 million.
XCN disposed of the 78,000,000 SIIS Shares issued by the Company to
XCN pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement and the proceeds from the
said disposal amounted to HK$6,759,233.09 (equivalent to
approximately US$866,568). This represents a shortfall in the first
payment of HK$1,040,766.91 (equivalent to approximately US$133,432).
The Directors hereby announce that, as a result of the shortfall in
the first payment, the Company will issue additional 10,407,669 SIIS
Shares to XCN at par value of HK$0.10 per share. As each of the
percentage ratios of the five size tests represents less than 5%, the
further issuance of SIIS Shares constitutes a share transaction of
the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules.
Share Subscription Supplemental Agreement and Further Issuance of
SIIS Shares to iMediaHouse Asia Limited
Reference is made to the announcement dated 31 March 2004 in
relation to a Share Subscription Agreement whereby SIH agreed to
subscribe for a 50% interest in the issued share capital of IMHA at a
consideration of US$6 million (equivalent to approximately
HK$46,590,000). Under the Share Subscription Agreement, the
consideration would be satisfied as to (i) US$3 million in cash; and
(ii) US$3 million payable in the form of listed shares of the
Company. With respect to the US$3 million payable in the form of
listed shares of Company, it was agreed that SIH would initially
procure the Company to commence the necessary process to promptly
issue the first batch of SIIS Shares in the value of US$1.5 million
(based upon the previous 10-day average trading price) to IMHA upon
completion of the Share Subscription Agreement; and that the balance
of the second batch of SIIS Shares in the value of US$1.5 million
would be issued as soon as practicable after IMHA achieved certain
accumulated revenue targets. On 29 April 2004, the Company issued
99,152,542 SIIS Shares (representing approximately 2.35% of the then


existing issued share capital of the Company) to IMHA at an issue
price of HK$0.118 per share representing the first batch of shares.
IMHA subsequently disposed of the 99,152,542 SIIS Shares and the
proceeds from the said disposal amounted to HK$9,913,208.20
(equivalent to approximately US$1,270,924). This represents a
shortfall of HK$1,786,791.80 (equivalent to approximately
US$229,076).
The Directors hereby announce that SIH, IMHA and IMH have entered
into a Share Subscription Supplemental Agreement on 19 November 2004
and have agreed that, subject to having obtained all requisite
approvals from applicable regulatory authorities and the Stock
Exchange, SIH shall be entitled to satisfy any shortfall by cash or
by procuring the Company to issue additional SIIS Shares to IMHA.
As a result of the current shortfall, the Company will issue an
additional 17,867,918 SIIS Shares to IMHA at HK$0.10 per share
As the percentage ratios of the Consideration test and the Equity
Capital test (of the five size tests) represent more than 5% but less
than 25%, the further issuance of SIIS Shares constitutes a
discloseable transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the
Listing Rules and a circular containing further details of the
Acquisition will be dispatched by the Company to its Shareholders for
their information as soon as practicable.
Recent Movement in Trading Volume of the Shares of the Company
This statement is made at the request of The Stock Exchange of Hong
Kong Limited.
The directors of the Company have noted the increase in the trading
volume of the shares of the Company on 19 November 2004 and wish to
state that they are not aware of any reasons of such movement save as
hereinafter mentioned in this announcement.
Saved for the above, the Directors confirm that there are no
negotiations or agreements relating to intended acquisitions or
realisations which are discloseable under Rule 13.23 of the Rules
Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange, neither is
the board of Directors aware of any matter discloseable under the
general obligation imposed by Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules, which
is or may be of a price-sensitive nature.
Made by the order of the Board of the Company, the Directors of
which individually and jointly accept responsibility for the accuracy
of this statement.
INTRODUCTION: FURTHER ISSUANCE OF SIIS SHARES TO XYBERNAUT CHINA
LIMITED
Reference is made to the announcement dated 8 July 2004 in relation
to, inter alia, the Supplemental Agreement amending the Shareholders`
Agreement, in particular, the provisions relating to the subscription
of shares in Xybernaut China Limited (`XCN`). Terms used herein shall
have the same meanings as those defined in such announcement unless
otherwise stated.
The Company entered into a Shareholders` Agreement on 12 February
2004 with Xybernaut Corporation (`XC`) and XCN for the formation of a
new joint venture company, XCN. The Company (via its wholly-owned
subsidiary, SIIS Investment Holdings Limited (`SIH`)) and XC own
respectively, 40% and 60% shareholdings in XCN. XCN has been
established for the purpose of introducing and exploiting XC`s
products and intellectual property in the PRC, Hong Kong and, if
agreed upon in writing by XC and the Company, certain other countries
in Asia, as well as the delivery, research, development and marketing
of wearable/mobile computer technology, hardware and related software
to the PRC and Hong Kong. XCN has an authorised capital of US$50,000
divided into one class of 50,000 shares of common stock with a par
value of US$1.00 each, and is an associated company of the Company.
Whereas the Company entered into a Shareholders` Agreement on 12
February 2004 relating to the formation of XCN (in particular it`s
share capital, scope and objectives, account arrangements, board
structure, shareholding, payment terms and the pre-emptive rights of
the parties), on 7 July 2004, the Company, XC and XCN entered into a
Supplemental Agreement amending the Shareholders Agreement; in
particular, the provisions relating to the subscription of shares in
XCN. The main amendments under the said Supplemental Agreement
primarily related to the payment terms for the subscription shares
(as described in detail below), the quorum for meetings of the board
of directors of XCN and the pre-emptive rights of the parties.
Whereas the Company agreed to subscribe or procure its nominee
subsidiary to subscribe for 400 shares in XCN at the subscription
price of US$2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$15,600,000), it
was also agreed that as part payment of the subscription price, the
Company would, within 15 days after the date of execution of the
Supplemental Agreement, or at such other date as may be agreed
between the parties to the Supplemental Agreement, pay to XCN a first
payment of an amount of not less than US$1 million. As payment of the



remainder of the subscription price, the Company would then within 9
months after the date of the first payment, pay to XCN the second
payment of an amount of not less than US$1 million. It was further
agreed that as part payment of the said subscription price, the
Company may satisfy the payments either by (i) paying such amount in
cash to XCN or (ii) subject to having obtained all requisite
approvals from applicable regulatory authorities and the Stock
Exchange, by issuing its own securities to XCN for such amount as
capital contribution to XCN. On 5 August 2004, the Company issued
78,000,000 SIIS Shares to XCN at an issue price of HK$0.10 per share
to satisfy the first payment of the subscription price.
XCN subsequently disposed of the 78,000,000 SIIS Shares on the open
market pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement and the proceeds from
the said disposal amounted to HK$6,759,233.09 (equivalent to
approximately US$866,568). The price range of the liquidation was
between HK$0.085 to HK$0.089. This represents a shortfall in the
first payment of HK$1,040,766.91 (equivalent to approximately
US$133,432). Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, XCN would
dispose the SIIS Shares issued under the first payment and the second
payment and in the event that such proceeds amounted to less than
US$2 million under either the first payment and the second payment
(where applicable), the Company would issue additional SIIS Share(s)
to XCN until the proceeds from the disposal of such additional SIIS
Share(s), together with the disposed SIIS Shares, amounted to US$2
million.
The Company has now opted to satisfy the shortfall by issuing
additional SIIS Shares to XCN. The Directors believe that it is
appropriate to finance the shortfall by issuing equity capital of the
Company instead of using its working capital in order to preserve the
liquidity of the Company. The value of the SIIS Shares to be issued
shall be determined by taking the average closing price per SIIS
Share quoted on the daily quotation list of the Stock Exchange for
the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of this
announcement, or the par value, whichever is higher.
The average closing price per SIIS Share quoted on the Stock
Exchange for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of
this announcement was HK$0.0865, which is lower than par value,
therefore the number of the SIIS Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Supplemental Agreement based on par value is 10,407,669, representing
approximately 0.246% of the existing issued share capital of the
Company and approximately 0.245% of the enlarged issued share capital
of the Company immediately after further issuance of such additional
SIIS Shares to XCN and IMHA (as mentioned below).
The additional SIIS Shares will be issued pursuant to the general
mandate granted to the Directors at the Company`s annual general
meeting held on 12 May 2004. Such mandate allows the Directors to
issue new SIIS Shares representing up to 822,481,615 SIIS Shares,
being 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 12
May 2004, of which approximately 23% has been utilized. To date, the
remaining mandate is sufficient for the purposes of satisfying the
shortfall by way of issuing SIIS Shares. An application will be made
to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of,
and permission to deal in, the additional SIIS Shares.
Upon the completion of the issuance of 10,407,669 SIIS Shares, the
total value of the SIIS Shares issued under the first payment for the
subscription of shares in XCN would be HK$8,840,766.90
[(78M shares under the first payment + top up shares of 10,407,669) x
HK$0.10
] (equivalent to approximately US$1,133,432), which transpires to
less than the 5% threshold set with regard to the five respective
size tests.
SHARE TRANSACTION: XCN
As each of the percentage ratios of the five size tests represents
less than 5%, the further issuance of SIIS Shares constitutes a share
transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules.
The Company confirms that, to the best of the Directors` knowledge,
information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, XC and the
ultimate beneficial owner of XC are third parties independent of and
not connected with the Directors, chief executives or substantial
shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of
their respective associates.
INFORMATION RELATING TO XCN
XCN is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 8 January
2004 and registered in Hong Kong under Part XI of the Companies
Ordinance with effect from 26 April 2004. XCN has been established
for the purpose of introducing and exploiting XC`s products and
intellectual property in the PRC, Hong Kong and, if agreed upon in
writing by XC and the Company, certain other countries in Asia, as
well as the delivery, research, development and marketing of
wearable/mobile computer technology, hardware and related software to
the PRC and Hong Kong.
INTRODUCTION: SHARE SUBSCRIPTION SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT AND FURTHER
ISSUANCE OF SIIS SHARES TO iMEDIAHOUSE ASIA LIMITED


Reference is made to the announcement dated 31 March 2004 in
relation to a Share Subscription Agreement whereby SIH agreed to
subscribe for a 50% interest in the issued share capital of
iMediaHouse Asia Limited (`IMHA`) at a consideration of US$6 million
(equivalent to approximately HK$46,800,000). Terms used herein shall
have the same meanings as those defined in such announcement unless
otherwise stated.
Under the Share Subscription Agreement, the consideration would be
satisfied as to (i) US$3 million in cash; and (ii) US$3 million
payable in the form of listed shares of the Company. With respect to
the US$3 million payable in the form of listed shares of Company, it
was agreed that SIH would initially procure the Company to commence
the necessary process to promptly issue the first batch of SIIS
Shares in the value of US$1.5 million (based upon the previous 10-day
average trading price) to IMHA upon completion of the Share
Subscription Agreement; and that the balance of the second batch of
the SIIS Shares in the value of US$1.5 million would be issued as
soon as practicable after IMHA achieved certain accumulated revenue
targets. On 29 April 2004, the Company issued 99,152,542 SIIS Shares
to IMHA at an issue price of 0.118 per share representing the first
batch of shares.
IMHA subsequently disposed of the 99,152,542 SIIS Shares on the open
market and the proceeds from the said disposal amounted to
HK$9,913,208.20 (equivalent to approximately US$1,270,924). The price
range of the liquidation was between HK$0.085 to HK$0.110. This
represents a shortfall in the first batch of HK$1,786,791.80
(equivalent to approximately US$229,076).
The Directors hereby announce that SIH, IMHA and iMediaHouse.com
Limited (`IMH`) have entered into a supplemental agreement to the
Share Subscription Agreement (the `Share Subscription Supplemental
Agreement`) on 19 November 2004 and have agreed that, subject to
having obtained all requisite approvals from applicable regulatory
authorities and the Stock Exchange, SIH shall be entitled to satisfy
any shortfall under the first batch or second batch either by cash or
by procuring the Company to issue additional SIIS Shares to IMHA.
Whereas details of the initial Share Subscription Agreement were
disclosed in detail in an announcement dated 31 March 2004 and in an
ensuing circular, the said Agreement did not cover the eventualities
in case of a shortfall. The Share Subscription Supplemental Agreement
therefore reflects the intentions of SIH, IMHA and IMH, whereby the
said parties may now elect whether to utilize shares and/or cash to
satisfy any future shortfall.
The Company has now opted to satisfy the current shortfall by
issuing additional SIIS Shares to IMHA. The Directors believe that it
is appropriate to finance the shortfall by issuing equity capital of
the Company instead of using its working capital in order to preserve
the liquidity of the Company. As at 30 June 2004, the consolidated
balance sheet of the Company recorded a net asset value of
HK$232,312,000 and cash and bank balance of HK$40,086,000. The value
of the SIIS Shares to be issued shall be determined by taking the
average closing price per SIIS Share quoted on the daily quotation
list of the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days immediately
preceding the date of this announcement, or the par value, whichever
is higher.
The average closing price per SIIS Share quoted on the Stock
Exchange for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of
this announcement was HK$0.0865, which is lower than par value,
therefore the number of the SIIS Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Share Subscription Supplemental Agreement based on par value is
17,867,918, representing approximately 0.423% of the existing issued
share capital of the Company and approximately 0.420% of the enlarged
issued share capital of the Company immediately after further
issuance of such additional SIIS Shares to IMHA and XCN (as mentioned
above).
The additional SIIS Shares will be issued pursuant to the general
mandate granted to the Directors at the Company`s annual general
meeting held on 12 May 2004. Such mandate allows the Directors to
issue new SIIS Shares representing up to 822,481,615 SIIS Shares,
being 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 12
May 2004, of which approximately 23% has been utilized. To date, the
remaining mandate is sufficient for the purposes of satisfying the
shortfall by way of issuing SIIS Shares. An application will be made
to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of,
and permission to deal in, the additional SIIS Shares.
DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION: IMHA
As the percentage ratios of the Consideration test and the Equity
Capital test (of the five size tests) represent more than 5% but less
than 25%, the further issuance of SIIS Shares constitutes a
discloseable transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the
Listing Rules and a circular containing further details of the
Acquisition will be dispatched by the Company to its Shareholders for
their information as soon as practicable.
The Company confirms that, to the best of the Directors` knowledge,
information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, IMH and
the ultimate beneficial owner of IMH are third parties independent of


and not connected with the Directors, chief executives or substantial
shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of
their respective associates
INFORMATION RELATING TO IMHA

Hallo Xybernaut-Gemeinde,

in der neuen Ausgabe des TAIPAN wird erneut XYBR empfohlen. Vom Kursziel 20 US$ in 2 bis 3 Jahren ist nicht mehr die Rede, allerdings ist die Aktie nach wie vor ein Favorit im Bereich der Rüstungsaktien. Auf Grund der eingefahrenen Verluste bisher ist mit einer Kapitalerhöhung zu rechnen.
Das Kursziel wurde mit 1,64 US$ beziffert.
Im Artikel wurde ausführlich unter Einbeziehung bisher bekannter Kooperationen erläutert, warum die Aktie ein gigantisches Potenzial besitzt.
Ich bleibe auf jeden Fall investiert!

FAIRFAX, Va., Nov 29, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xybernaut(R) Corporation (XYBR) today announced that the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recognized Xybernaut with an award for Outstanding Leadership in Emergency Data Interoperability.

Presented to Xybernaut by the Disaster Management eGov Initiative within DHS, the award is related to many separate instances of Xybernaut participation in federal, state and local community emergency preparedness.

One activity specifically highlighted as part of the award, was an initiative in which Xybernaut is working as a member of the ComCARE Alliance to develop standards for sharing emergency information between different first responder communities. This initiative is focused on developing industry standards for sharing data/information over communications and computing networks.

One element of the standards effort is the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDEL), a software application that assists in creating a common computing environment in which information can be shared by emergency responder communities at all levels. The EDEL system was recently field-tested and Xybernaut was an active technology leader in that effort.

"Xybernaut has always developed systems and solutions that are open and standards-based. We are delighted to learn that joint efforts with our ComCARE Alliance partners have been evaluated by the executive leadership within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and that the company`s efforts have been recognized for Outstanding Leadership in Emergency Data Interoperability," stated Steven A. Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "This recognition is particularly significant to us because it highlights a competitive differentiator that we have built into all aspects of the company - particularly our ability to provide mobile/wearable technologies that can be quickly and efficiently incorporated into computing and communication systems whether it be for data management by commercial enterprises or by first responders during emergency situations."

The recognized mobile/wearable computing solution incorporate Xybernaut Mobile Assistant(R) (MA V(R)) and Atigo(R) product families to meet various unique computing and knowledge management needs of law enforcement and emergency first responder teams.

The Xybernaut solutions provide on-scene capabilities such as support for digital cameras, GPS/navigation, audio/video, e-mail/messaging, database access and remote data gathering, report generation, connectivity to law enforcement knowledge centers and other features. A key feature of all Xybernaut systems and solution is support for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) applications, peripherals and software.

TWST: Would you give us a quick overview of the company as you see it today?

Mr. Newman: The company has been maturing and has been putting down milestones for the public to witness objectively how we`ve been growing, how we`ve been pursuing the marketplace, and how we`ve been successful in taking the company from an R&D company to a much more mature company that is now starting to win in every functional area and operation it`s involved in.

We are a company focused on driving revenue and profitability. More important, we are focused on simultaneously realizing the huge stored value that has been created by the company`s management team over the last 15 years embodied by its patents, its know-how, its strategic relationships, and its unique positioning to become one of the dominant technology companies in the world.

TWST: Give us an overview of the businesses you are in today.

Mr. Newman: Xybernaut has always been a solutions company, and we are in the business of, in essence, creating mobile solutions that provide a competitive edge with a measurable return on investment to our customers, to our strategic allies, and to our partners worldwide.

Those partners include the various governments including our own, the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, telecommunications firms, cable companies, the Cox`s, the Verizons, the Federal Expresses, the Hiltons, the CSX railroads, the MHI`s, healthcare providers, and the recently announced Tesco, the largest grocery retailer and brand in the UK.

Basically for us, mobile solutions have always been about getting the right information to the right person at the right time and the right place, which is always at the point of incidence of his work ` the place where a person is doing his job ` and that job could be anything from fixing something to counting something to killing someone. And we have been driven by delivering that information to each individual in the manner that enables him to do his job best and most efficiently.

What is very essential for people to understand about our company is what the company is based on, what we`ve been pursuing, why we`ve been pursuing it, and why we`ve been succeeding. I hope that the perceived future value of this company grows in their eyes as they see the objective measurements we`re laying in front of them.

This company really came out of the Intel-DoD world some 20 years ago. In those days, we were tech support contractors to the military for some of the larger programs and platforms they were involved with. At that time, we were a small company with a bunch of smart guys who were not infrequently utilized to both monitor the activities of the larger systems integrators and ensure that the customer ` a Program Manager, Colonel or General ` understood where he was in the program and understood what he was or was not likely to be receiving. On occasion, if there was a deliverable they really needed or that was mission critical and they weren`t in possession of at the end of their contract, they might turn to us and ask us to either tweak whatever they got to make it actually work for them or to provide a solution that hadn`t been forthcoming. It could have been hardware or software, but typically we filled the bill.

Because we did, we were asked to get involved with some of the issues they felt were most important, and the principal one around which this company was built had to do with a challenge they faced 20 years ago and still face today.

At that time, the weapons platforms were becoming more and more complex while at the same time they were downsizing the military and losing the very people they needed to keep these things working ` the engineers, the trained mechanics and technicians. The challenge was; how can you keep this stuff working in light of this type of leakage? Xybernaut was presented with this challenge.

The first thing we really did was create what are called IETMs, interactive electronic technical manuals. Xybernaut created the first IETMs as well as the exact words which became mandated for really all weapons platforms ` and though more or less an unfunded mandate with maybe 10% of the weapons platforms now having them. It was really the ability to take expert content out of the technical manual, out of a graphic or out of a detailed set of plans, as well as capturing the expert content from the actual individual experts who were leaving, and combine them with algorithms and some artificial intelligence. You wind up with a tool that enables a very low-tech person being able to repair or keep a very advanced weapons platform working. It was successful then and has been successful till now.

As it was successful, and as we were introducing these into the military, we were (in real time) able to actually watch people work for a period of several years and I would say that the company`s deepest skill set is its knowledge and know-how about how people actually work, down to it`s smallest detail. We built everything in this company around the knowledge we gained, and we continue to do so today because people still today, and will tomorrow, perform work the same way.

All of Xybernaut`s past, all of its solutions, all of its products, all of its platforms and all of its partners are built around the things we learned about how people must work. We knew this back then, and it`s the case now, that some 75% to 80% of all people in every enterprise we interface with don`t work at their desk. They work somewhere else, and frequently, they work outside. Usually, more than half work outside, and we noticed that sometimes the sun shines and sometimes it rains; sometimes it`s warm and sometimes it`s cold; sometimes there`s sand to deal with and sometimes there`s wind. If the people still have to get the job done, it doesn`t matter what the environmental conditions are, and any type of tool or enabling capability you`re trying to provide has to be able to be utilized in those different conditions.

We learned it was almost always the case that no one was successful at virtually any job they attempted unless they were looking at what they were doing. We also learned that when we usually say that someone is working, what we really mean is that they`re doing something with their hands. What that meant to us is that they are almost always unsuccessful at what they are doing unless they can see their hands doing it.
We found out that whatever tool we would try to give the various set of workers to enable them to do their job more efficiently or better, if it weighed over two pounds, it was basically useless. Unless you could read or benefit from this tool outside, for example, in the bright sunshine or rain, it was useless, and the workers wouldn`t keep taking it. No matter what we would give them to try to enable them to do their job more efficiently, if there was a mobile job, they would invariably drop it, and it would break. Unless something would not break when you drop it, they were not going to be able to get their job done.
Interestingly enough, if people were sent to do what we thought was a 10- or 20-minute job or what others might have thought was an hour or two job, they pretty much never came back to the office for more work. You never saw them until the next day; once they left, they weren`t coming back. We learned also that there was almost always `something else` that had been provided to them before or at the workplace. Tools, third party devices or a backbone integrated information system ` whatever you tried to give these workers to enable them to do their job more efficiently had to work within their already existing environment.

For example, if they were using an operating system or certain applications or certain tools, yours had to integrate with it; they were not ever going to throw away their prior investment. The most interesting thing of all, around which we built our company, is that it was almost always the case that whenever anyone was sent to do a job, they virtually never got the job done on the first pass. This was invariably the case, and it didn`t matter what the job was ` if it was to repair something or count something or eliminate someone ` they almost always needed something more than they had with them to do the work.

After repeatedly and constantly observing these events, we said, `You know, you can actually break down everything `they come back for` in order to enable them to do their job into two categories.` It was always the case that they had to come back, one, to get additional content ` manuals, parts, parts list, graphics or maps. Or two, they were coming back in order to communicate with someone, getting more of an expert person to tell him actually how to fix something, which you can`t find from reading a manual. We said it`s clearly the case that these people are always coming back to get something to get their job done. If we are correct and it happens to be, in essence, `computing and communicating,` that they are always returning for, what we should be able to do is move the computing and communicating closer and closer to where that person is actually doing the job. We should be able to document efficiencies in ROIs, which of course, you can do in every job and every industry.

We said the goal here is this: we know that in order to get a job done, you 100% are going to need additional `content` or `communications` at the point of the job. The goal in our solution has to be to either eliminate the trip all together back to wherever that person is going to get the benefit of computing and communications, or at least decrease the distance he has to go, or the number of times he has to go. Since this is a constant characteristic of `work` all- together, if we can create enabling tools based on what we`ve already learned, that would be the most efficient way for anyone to do work.

Many people have thought of us and looked upon us as a wearable computer company, and we certainly dominate that space and know more about that than probably everyone else put together. At the end of the day, we actually created wearable computers because they were platforms that, in fact, enabled us to demonstrate that a worker did not have to go anywhere in order to get the very things that he would absolutely always need. The reason we came up with things, in those days, like headsets; was because it was a way you could display the information and still deliver the content and communications to a person in a hands-free manner, which we had already learned was the most efficient way to do a job.

Once we demonstrated this repeatedly for a large number of years in multiple solutions, we decided we`d build the company around it. The first thing we did was develop an intellectual property space. We thought, `Well, if we are correct, why not create a protected marketplace to exploit?` So the company went about establishing its intellectual property portfolio. We currently have more than 700 patents and applications worldwide that deal, in essence, with `work` ` everything about computing, communicating, transmissions, platforms, software, hardware and wireless. We built the IT space and protected the marketplace.

Then we decided, `Well, now let`s prove that there is a marketplace, and let`s prove that there are products that can actually do this job.` This was in the days when there really were no wireless protocols, and actually there wasn`t much wireless all together, when there were no notebooks or any other type of miniaturized devices; when there were not really any displays capable of being read outside or even showing a full page of text in daylight. Computers weighed 35 to 40 pounds.

Theoretically, all of this could be done, and we, in fact, created the platforms and products to show it could be done and sold them to the military for large amounts of money. It was truly something that was not ubiquitous; it was something that was very expensive, and it was something off in the future. We decided we would build an infrastructure. We would build strategic relationships with the key players of the largest verticals in the world, and we would await the day when technology would move in our direction ` when things could be miniaturized, when things could be made economically, when wireless protocols would evolve, when processors would become strong enough. We would develop relationships and become known to these people. In essence, being their tech support contract expertise; not unlike our work for the DoD and military.

So it is the case at most of the customer bases of Xybernaut today. Our people have been working with many of our customers for years, sometimes five, 10 or 15 years. Our clients know us well, know our capabilities well, and have come to trust us because we`ve done what we said we would. Over the years we have conducted hundreds of pilot studies and beta`s tests; each one documenting ROIs or other measures of success.

We really took the company itself on a significant directional change about a year or so ago. I took over an operational role at that time as President. I said to myself `Well, we`ve built this great IT space. We have tons of patents. We have had our intellectual property independently evaluated at many multiples for our current market cap. We know exactly what the platforms are that can most enable people to do their jobs in the most efficient manner. We already have very strategic relationships with the very companies that could benefit the most from our platforms. We`re trusted by them. We`ve already learned that it`s kind of hard to sell people a bunch of things with headsets unless someone else causes them to wear something on their head to begin with, such as in the military. That we should be able to attack the market differently and create those types of products that would be rapidly accepted while still enabling work to be done most efficiently. Now, instead of betas and instead of pilots, we ask for money and contracts, rather than another `opportunity,` from those who already know what we are capable of.

Actually that is exactly what we`ve done and will do going forward. We`ve looked at all the pieces we had available to us and said `they`re all here ` we have all the pieces necessary to be highly successful and profitable. We just need to alter the way the company is going forward.` It`s not that we don`t believe there`s a need for more IP; because there is. We`ve been creating it. It`s not that we don`t think there`s a need for more infrastructure; there is, and we`ve created it. But we do think that at this point in the life of the company it is time to get profitable ` particularly with the events of 9/11, the successes we`re having in the DoD and military, in homeland security, in vertical after vertical ` that we should absolutely focus the company on revenue growth and profitability. The key is to make sure that as we do so, we also reap the truly enormous `stored value` of the IP, patents, know how, infrastructure, and strategic relationships that we believe has been created for the benefit of our shareholders. That`s the task at hand.

A Cabinet post for Gilmore?



The Top Story

[e-mail]





Could Tom Ridge`s decision to step down as the head of the Department of Homeland Security end up having an impact on the 2005 Virginia gubernatorial race?


"It would be a logical move for the former governor. His work with USA Secure and with the Gilmore Commission would seem to be a great building block for him to be able to make this leap," said Matt Smyth of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, assessing the chances of former Old Dominion governor Jim Gilmore becoming Ridge`s successor in the post.

Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor, announced his resignation on Tuesday.

Gilmore could not be reached for comment on whatever interest he might in the Cabinet job. But his resume would seem to make him a top-level candidate - Gilmore currently serves as the president of USA Secure, a Washington, D.C.,-based homeland-security public-policy think tank, and he chaired the Congressional Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction, which became known as the Gilmore Commission, whose work helped shape the development of the Department of Homeland Security.

"He`s not somebody who should be taken lightly," Smyth told The Augusta Free Press on Tuesday. "There are a lot of names out there being talked about, but he would have to be considered among the candidates."

A Gilmore appointment would likely play at least some role in the `05 gubernatorial race in the Commonwealth.

"It would certainly make a lot of Republicans in Virginia happy in the sense that it would take his name out of the discussions that have been ongoing about whether or not he`s interested in the Republican nomination to run for governor next year," Smyth said.

"It would also give him a platform from which he could endorse Jerry Kilgore as a former governor and current Cabinet secretary. That would carry a good bit of weight with it in what could be shaping up as a close election next November," Smyth said.

Headquartered in Seoul, Xybernaut Korea Ltd. will be responsible for all aspects of the company`s operations in this fast-growing economy. Sales have already occurred and the company is in discussions with many leading Korean enterprises and institutions.

Xybernaut efforts in Korea are also benefiting directly from a Korean government initiative known as the IT839 Strategy and more specifically a program called "The Post-PC Era." In a 2004 strategy document issued by the Korean Ministry for Information and Communication, the Republic of Korea created the IT839 Strategy and The Post-PC Era initiative to maintain its leadership in information technology (IT).

According to that report, the Ministry, "...created the IT839 Strategy to help Korea stay ahead. Under the Strategy, new IT services will be introduced and promoted to encourage investment in network infrastructure, which will bring synergistic effects with cutting-edge devices, equipment and contents."

The IT839 Strategy concentrates on both technologies and solutions. Technologies identified in the strategy include convergent technologies such as mobile computing/communications devices, sensor networks and next-generations PCs. Solution categories include wireless/broadband (WiBro) communications, digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), home network services (HNS), telematics, and RFID.

Examples of goals and objectives identified under the IT839 Strategy solutions categories include:

WiBro - introduction of comprehensive service by 2006 with 8 million subscribers, creating a portable Internet market
DMB - establish nationwide DMB service by the 2006
HNS - provide service to 500,000 homes in 2004 and increase to 10 million (60% of total Korean households) by 2007
Telematics - establish Korea as a top five telematics market providing telematics "terminals" (devices) to 27 percent of the total population by 2007
RFID - develop core technologies and systems for passive/active RFID in 2005, sensing RFID technologies by 2007 and build a ubiquitous RFID sensor network by 2010
Xybernaut is a leading international provider of intellectual property, know-how, systems and solutions that are already playing an important role in developing these technologies and solutions internationally. Xybernaut experience holds the same promise for success within Korea.

"Xybernaut has been active in the Korean IT market for nearly a decade and we firmly believe that this is the right time to leverage our relationships, know-how, and corporate assets and expand on our efforts in Asia and the Pacific Rim by formalizing our operations in Korea," stated Edward G. Newman, Xybernaut chairman and CEO. "I was fortunate to be invited to present a keynote address during the Korean Post-PC Era conference earlier this year. Interest in Xybernaut, our intellectual property and technologies has never been higher and we look forward to working with many third-parties to move forward quickly and successfully."

Tesco.com Shoppers Get a Fresher Online Shopping Xperience
Tuesday December 7, 10:22 am ET


Northern Ireland & FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2004--Britain`s biggest online supermarket, Tesco.com, has added further impetus to its online shopping capabilities by appointing mobile computing specialist, Xperience Group, to supply 300 of its largest stores with the technology to build the latest generation of `Smart` shopping trolleys.
ADVERTISEMENT


The multi-million pound deal sees Xperience equip Tesco.com with 5,000 `pre-imaged` Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) Atigo® wireless flat panel display computers, alongside a full set of support services. These, when attached to shopping trolleys, display customer shopping lists, allowing Tesco.com staff to pick goods `intelligently.`

With online customer`s information distributed from Tesco`s central `server farm` Tesco.com staff at the 300 stores can complete orders quickly and accurately for rapid despatch.

Ruggedly built, and complete with High Brightness displays, the Xybernaut Atigo computers are more than capable of withstanding vigorous day to day use in-store. The system allows a team of personal shoppers, each working a different section of the supermarket, to fulfil multiple orders simultaneously.

The personal shoppers are guided through the store, following on-screen prompts for items and their locations. An attached barcode reader allows them to scan picked items into the system and place them in the right basket before progressing to the next product on the list. Once this has been completed, the trolleys can return to the back of the store ready for each customer`s order to be assembled and then delivered.

Mike Yorwerth, Head of Operations and Infrastructure for Tesco.com, says: "Of all the solutions we looked at when looking to upgrade our picking process, the Xperience and Xybernaut offering was by far the most powerful and convenient. Our pickers like it because it is fast, compatible with existing systems, and has a clear, bright screen display. From an IT point of view it suits our needs perfectly in that it is tough, intelligent technology, which can easily be integrated."

Xperience Group`s Managing Director, Joe Davey, adds: "We are delighted to be able to work with Tesco.com on this exciting development and look forward to helping the company maintain its position as the UK`s leading online grocer."

Xybernaut Granted Two Korean Patents for Dual-Use Flat Panel Display and Thin Client Computing Device and Wireless Pen Input Device
Wednesday December 8, 9:40 am ET
New Patents and Recently Formed Korean Subsidiary Part of Aggressive Asia Expansion and International IP Licensing Strategy


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2004-- Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) today announced that the Company has been granted two patents by the Korean Intellectual Property Office related to dual-use flat panel display (FPD) thin client computing devices in the first patent and wireless pen input devices in the second patent.
Last week, Xybernaut announced the formation of Xybernaut Korea Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Both the recent patent grants and the Korean operations are part of the company`s aggressive effort to expand its presence in the Asia/Pacific Rim region. The company has long been involved in numerous partnerships and marketing alliances in China and other Asian countries while also protecting/expanding its intellectual property and working in these markets - similarly to North America and Europe - under a comprehensive IP and patent licensing strategy.

The Dual-Use FPD and Thin Client patent essentially describes computing devices able to:

Perform as a static FPD when connected to or communicating with a separate computing device; and
Function as a thin client stand-alone computer when independent from the computer to which it was originally connected or communicating
This second Korean patent describes a modular input device shaped like a typical writing instrument for use with personal computers, palm top computers, personal digital assistants, wearable computers, desktop computers or other general purpose computers. The invention describes a pen shaped device with microphone, power supply, wireless transmitter used with a plurality of function modules such as an ink pen, lead pencil and/or laser pointer.

These modules can be selectively removed or added depending on the desired function set of the user. The input device allows the user to utilize the functionality provided by the function module, as well as the ability to control a computer, all in one compact device.

"These Korean patents are indicative of the depth and breadth of our expertise and are also representative of our continued success in enhancing our position as the leading developer of mobile/wearable computing technologies and related intellectual property internationally," said Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "As we have discussed previously, these patents and similar intellectual property efforts continue to be a key part of our monetization efforts and we believe that by maintaining, expanding, and defending a strong patent position in countries like Korea, we continue to retain and expand a considerable competitive advantage in many of the strongest international markets," added Newman.

Xybernaut continues to successfully attract a growing base of industry-leading equipment manufacturers, resellers and solutions integrators and these newly patented technologies represent attractive options for licensee or collaborative companies as well as customers in a wide variety of applications related to field force automation.

The first is Korean Patent No. 0454689 corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 6,421,232 entitled "Dual-Use FPD and Thin Client" while the second Korean Patent No. 0454688 is entitled "Wireless Pen Input Device."

Ich hätte da mal ne Frage: kann mir jemand sagen warum so eine Aktie von keinem namhaften Analysten bewertet wird? ich bin seit 1 Jahr drin und warte täglich auf eine positive Bewertung. Es gibt wohl derzeit keinen Wert mit so viel Phantasie.

[humphy]

hi realtimelooser,

weil den wert kein schwein kennt. die zeiten des bubble sind vorbei. in xybr findest du nur techfreaks und spinner mit viel phantasie. erst wenn die umsätze rapide ansteigen und mobiles zum mainstream werden, dann werden sich auch die analysten zu wort melden. dann habe ich allerdings meine schäfchen schon im trockenen.

Thursday December 9, 9:45 am ET
Xybernaut to Receive Recurring Royalty Payments
DT Research Granted Non-Exclusive License by Xybernaut to "Dual-Use FPD and Thin Client" Computing Device Patent; IP Monetization Strategy Builds Momentum


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2004-- Xybernaut® Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR - News) today announced that DT Research Inc. has licensed Xybernaut intellectual property relating to U.S. Patent No. 6,421,232 B2, "Dual-Use FPD (Flat Panel Display) and Thin Client" computing device. Under an agreement announced today, DT Research has been granted a non-exclusive license from Xybernaut.
ADVERTISEMENT


Although complete terms of the agreement were not disclosed, one significant element of the license includes royalty payments that will be made to Xybernaut on sales of all DT Research hardware systems relating to U.S. Patent No. 6,421,232 B2. This includes both systems manufactured for Xybernaut (such as the Atigo product family) and systems manufactured for other third-party companies.

As a leading manufacturer of mobile computing devices, DT Research represents an ideal IP licensee for Xybernaut and is considered one of the company`s strongest go-to-market partners.

As previously disclosed, Xybernaut recently focused its IP licensing effort under a program to implement and manage licensing activities related to various Xybernaut patents, know-how and other IP. Particularly, the Dual-Use Computing Device patent was identified as IP that the company believes holds considerable value and presented many opportunities with third-parties.

The strategic plan, which is now an ongoing initiative, includes various components designed to increase awareness of and revenue from the company`s intellectual property estate.

This proactive plan offers potential licensees as well as current or potential infringers non-exclusive licensing opportunities. The plan also makes it easier for companies to incorporate Xybernaut IP into existing or planned computing and communication solutions.

The plan continues to focus on leveraging Xybernaut IP by: 1) creating successful licensing agreements in specific markets with companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Hitachi, ViewSonic and now DT Research; and 2) utilizing IP for strategic negotiations that could lead to closer business alliances or other business combinations with companies such as the activities recently announced with MHI for joint efforts in creating a maintenance management Toolkit solution.

These successful relationships demonstrate variations of Xybernaut initial licensing strategies and will continue to be employed for appropriate portions of Xybernaut IP.

"As is evident in the relationships and license agreements with DT Research, MHI and Hitachi, Xybernaut licensing efforts are primarily being conducted in a manner that focuses on partnering and win-win strategies that allow both Xybernaut and third-partner organizations to bring innovative technologies to market quickly and effectively," stated Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut Corporation. "Nonetheless, many options are available to Xybernaut, such as the recently-completed successful litigation. Each option is considered and evaluated as circumstances develop with each opportunity. Ultimately, shareholder value is our primary focus," added Newman.

Parties interested in Xybernaut Dual-Use FPD and Thin Client Computing Device IP and/or the company`s licensing programs should contact either Chris Tucker directly via e-mail at [e-mail] or via telephone at 703-631-6925 or Mark Wasserman via e-mail to [e-mail] or via telephone at 703-421-8224.

Hey, daß den Wert kein Schwein kennt, kann wohl bei den Umsätzen nicht sein. Immerhin taucht xybr regelmäßig im Yahoo bei den 50 meistgehandeltsten Aktien auf. Erst gestern wieder. Sorry aber daran kanns nicht liegen. Ich tippe eher auf mangelnde Fantasie bei den Analysten. Technisch bewandert waren die noch nie, haben jeden Trend verschlafen und sind erst dann aufgewacht wenn das Ding gelaufen war. Beispiele gibts da genug. Für mich ist Mobile das Ding der Zukunft, wenn ich anfange nachzudenken wie, wo, für was die Atigos einzusetzen währen... alleine nur im militärischen Bereich, der Wahnsinn. Ich hoffe daß im Hintergrund einige Sachen laufen von denen wir nicht (noch) wissen. Sollte dann ein Mainmarket entstehen, nicht auszudenken wohin der Kurs dann gehen könnte. danke für Deine Antwort.
Gruß RTL

[Realtimelooser]

Da fällt mir gerade ein, wo kann man hier in Germany so ein Ding kaufen? Ich glaube da liegt der Schlüssel. Wenn erstmal ein echter Distributor Interesse zeigt und Jedermann einen Atigo kaufen kann, dann gehts ab. Ich glaube fast, lange wird das nicht mehr dauern und Deine Geduld wird belohnt. ich warte ja erst ein Jahr.

[humphy]

hey rtl,

analysten haben keine phantasie, sonst würden sie am strand liegen, ne pina colada trinken und müssten nicht jeden tag arbeiten gehen. ausserdem empfehlen analysten keine aktien solange ihre companys nicht drin sind, genügend gewinn gemacht haben und die dinger bestens los werden wollen.

xybr hat in so vielen sachen die finger drin, aber es dauert unendlich lange bis diese zu deals werden. alles hier aufzuzählen würde den rahmen sprengen.

Future Power " Cell" Chip Will Probably Run Linux--And Well

The Cell chip is, like Sun Microsystems` future " Niagara" and " Rock" processors, a radically different design from the monolithic microprocessors that are used in PCs and servers today.

At the heart of the chip is a single core based on IBM`s 64-bit Power designs. Wrapped around this core will be what they call " multiple synergistic processor cores," whose job it is to deliver massive amounts of floating point processing power.


As is the case with the Power4 and Power5 chips, the Cell chip will have an I/O interface on its chip, but it appears to be of a radically different design based on Rambus memory and running as high as 6.4 GHz.

hi humphy,

ich sehe eigentlich fast jeden Tag nach, was es hier Neues gibt. Und ich freue mich natürlich sehr, dass unser Baby so gut angezogen hat.
Finde es nach wie vor toll, dass du diesen Thread aufrecht erhältst.
Bin auch fest überzeugt von XYBR und drücke uns allen die Daumen, dass deine Prognosen eintreffen.

[humphy]

hi jethro,

mit chipwerten beschäftige ich mich normalerweise nicht. aber klär mich mal mit deinem "cell chip" auf. was bringt das unseren mobiles? brauchen die dinger weniger energie und erhöhen dadurch die batteriedauer -das wär gut für xybr.

humphy

[jethor tull]

Humphy,

anbei die Erklärung! Ob xybr damit was anfangen kann, weiß ich nicht.




Man rechnet damit, dass der Cell-Prozessor Intel einige Kopfschmerzen bereiten wird, insbesondere im Wettbewerb um Breitbandgeräte für die Verbraucher. Außerdem soll Cell in der Sony Playstation 3 sowie in digitalen TV-Geräten von Toshiba zum Einsatz kommen. Sony wird den Vorsprung auf dem Feld der Breitbandverbindungen für die Expansion im Bereich interaktive (Internet-)Spiele nutzen.

Der Cell-Prozessor wird breite Auswirkungen haben, die die Mikroprozessor-Landschaft verändern werden. Die Zusammenschaltung mehrerer Cells ermöglicht in Verbindung mit verschlüsselten Speicherbauteilen sichere Rechenverbindungen über das Internet. Die Verbindungen der Prozessoren und der Controller untereinander mit ihrer hohen Bandbreite sind wesentliche Elemente der gesamten Cell-Architektur. Ob Sony, Toshiba oder IBM – die Rambus-Lösungen sind optimal geeignet und bereits im Spiel. Die Tatsache, dass Ramus bereits in hohem Maße an der Entwicklung von Cell beteiligt ist, wird sich sicherlich angenehm auf das künftige Gewinnpotenzial von Rambus auswirken. Die breitesten und folgenreichsten Auswirkungen des Cell-Prozessors bestehen allerdings darin, dass er die momentane Vorherrschaft von Intel auf dem Gebiet der Mikroprozessor-Struktur bedroht.

Tokio, Japan); Yamazaki; Takeshi (Tokio, Japan)

Treuhänder: Sony Corporation Entertainment Inc. (Japan)

Datum: 25. Februar 2003"


Erfinder und Patente aus der Welt der PS2 und PS3
Atsushi Kunimatsu (Toshiba) und Masakazu Suzuoki (Sony) haben vorher an der Playstation2 gearbeitet und zeichnen dafür auch teilweise verantwortlich. Die Tatsache, dass diese Erfinder in den gemeinsamen Patenten mit IBM auftauchen, ist ein Anzeichen dafür, dass die Speicherlösungen von Rambus, die Sony und Toshiba verwenden, grundsätzlich in Cell einfließen. Da sich Toshiba und Sony für künftige Breitbandanwendungen von Cell bereits für die Yellowstone-Technologie (inzwischen XDR-Speicher) von Rambus entschieden haben, irritiert es ein wenig, dass dem Markt anscheinend erst jetzt bewusst wird, dass Schnittstellen und Speicher von Rambus integrale Bestandteile der Cell-Entwicklung sind.

Suzuoki, der maßgeblich an der Sony Playstation2 beteiligt war, ist einer der beiden Erfinder, die im Patent 491 den Aspekt der Speichersicherheit für das Cell-Design bearbeitet haben. Auch das lässt Gutes für Rambus erwarten, denn vor kurzem hat Rambus ein funktional paralleles Patent zum Speicherschutz erhalten. In dem Sony-Patent geht es um das Zusammenspiel von Prozessor und Controller mit einer DRAM-Sicherheitszone. Das Rambus-Patent dagegen betrifft den "Handshake" des DRAM mit dem Prozessor, also sozusagen um die gleiche Funktion von der anderen Seite gesehen.

Shigehiro Asano von Toshiba ist offenbar von Japan nach Austin in Texas übergesiedelt, wo er eng mit IBM zusammenarbeitet. Seine bisherigen Arbeiten zur Speicherverwaltung und zum Speicherschutz deuten darauf hin, dass er maßgeblich am Schreibschutz auf der Prozessorseite beteiligt ist.

Die technische Beschreibung der drei Cell-Patente ist im Prinzip gleich. Speicherschutz, Zuweisung der Ressourcen und Synchronisierung der Daten sind funktionale Elemente des Cell-Patents, aber die Patente sind mit Ausnahme der Ansprüche identisch. Obwohl zwei der drei Patente auf Sony ausgestellt sind, haben alle Patente die gleiche technische Beschreibung und die gleichen Zeichnungen. Alle drei nehmen Bezug auf eine Veröffentlichung mit dem Titel "IBM Wins Playstation 3 Contract".

Grundsätzlich scheint der Markt akzeptiert zu haben, dass Rambus an der Playstation 3 beteiligt ist, aber die breitere Verwendung von Rambus-Speicher und Rambus-Interconnects für Cell im Allgemeinen scheint erst so langsam klar zu werden.

Cell ersetzt nicht nur den RDRAM-Umsatz der Playstation 2 durch die Playstation 3
Hier die Zusammenfassung der breiten und ehrgeizigen Ansprüche von Cell im Wortlaut des Patents:

"Zusammenfassende Beschreibung der Erfindung
Die vorliegende Erfindung ist einerseits eine neue Architektur für Computer, sonstige rechnergesteuerte Geräte und Computernetze. Andererseits stellt die vorliegende Erfindung ein neues Programmierungsmodell für diese Computer, Geräte und Netzwerke dar.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung werden alle Teile eines Computernetzes, also alle Computer und sonstigen Geräte, auf der Basis eines gemeinsamen Rechnermoduls konstruiert. Dieses Rechnermodul hat die gleiche Struktur und verwendet im besten Fall den gleichen ISA. Die Teile des Netzes können Clients, Server, PCs, mobile Computer, Spielecomputer, PDAs, Settopboxen, Elektrogeräte, digitale Fernsehgeräte und andere Geräte sein, in denen Mikroprozessoren zum Einsatz kommen. Der durchgehend modulare Aufbau ermöglicht eine hohe Rechen- und Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit der einzelnen Teile und die schnelle Übertragung von Anwendungen und Daten über das Netz. Diese Struktur erleichtert auch den Bau von Netzwerkelementen in verschiedenen Größen und mit unterschiedlicher Rechenleistung. Außerdem erleichtert sie die Vorbereitung von Anwendungen für die Teile des Netzwerks.

Auf der anderen Seite bietet die vorliegende Erfindung ein neues Programmierungsmodell für die Übertragung von Daten und Anwendungen über ein Netzwerk sowie für die Verarbeitung von Daten und Anwendungen durch die Teile des Netzwerks. Das Programmierungsmodell beinhaltet eine Software-Zelle, die über das Netz übertragen und von allen Teilen des Netzes verarbeitet werden kann. Alle Softwarezellen haben die gleiche Struktur, und sie können Anwendungen und Daten enthalten. Aufgrund der hohen Rechen- und Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit der modularen Computerarchitektur können die Zellen sehr schnell verarbeitet werden. Der Programmcode für die Anwendungen basiert im besten Falle auf einem gemeinsamen Befehlssatz und einem gemeinsamen ISA. Jede Softwarezelle enthält eine Identifikationsnummer (global ID) und Informationen über die Rechnerressourcen, die für die Verarbeitung der Zelle erforderlich sind. Da alle Rechnerressourcen grundsätzlich gleich aufgebaut sind und den gleichen ISA verwenden, kann sich die Ressource, die einen bestimmten Prozess bearbeitet, an jeder beliebigen Stelle des Netzes befinden und somit dynamisch zugewiesen werden."

Quelle: U. S. Patent and Trademark Office Patent 6.526.491


Die Möglichkeit, mit dem Cell-Prozessor über das Internet mittels Breitbandverbindungen Berechnungen in Hochgeschwindigkeit durchzuführen, bietet eine ungeahnte Interoperabilität und gleichzeitig hohe Sicherheit. Tatsächlich könnte dies die beherrschende universelle Architektur werden, mit der vom PDA bis zum Supercomputer gemeinsame Hochgeschwindigkeitsberechnungen über das Internet durchgeführt werden können. Natürlich muss auf die Anwendungsentwicklung an sich noch ein gleiches Maß an Softwareunterstützung folgen.

Ein Dolchstoß für Java
Das Cell-Patent führt einige gezielte Schläge gegen den Prozessorhunger von Java und gegen die Virusbedrohung, der man ausgesetzt ist, wenn man sich auf die Sicherheitsverfahren von Java verlassen muss. Etwas salopper ausgedrückt: "Ein virusbeladener Prozessorfresser ist für mobile Rechner und Handys in `sicheren` Netzen nicht unbedingt eine gute Idee." Aus den drei Patenten:

"Diese Viren und Fehlfunktionen können die Daten der Clients beschädigen und anderen Schaden anrichten. Zwar enthält Java ein Sicherheitsprotokoll, mit dem versucht werden soll, dieses Problem mittels eines Software-"Sandkastens" zu überwinden – das bedeutet, dass Java-Applets ihre Daten nur in einen bestimmten Bereich des Client-Speichers schreiben können –, aber dieses softwaregesteuerte Sicherheitsmodell ist unsicher in der Implementierung, und es erfordert noch mehr Rechenleistung.

Echtzeit-Multimedia-Anwendungen im Netz gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung. Diese Netzwerkanwendungen erfordern extrem hohe Rechenleistungen. Künftig werden für solche Anwendungen vielleicht mehrere Tausend Megabits pro Sekunde benötigt. Die derzeitigen Netzwerkarchitekturen (insbesondere die Architektur des Internets) und das derzeitige Programmierungsmodell, das zum Beispiel durch Java verkörpert wird, macht die Erreichung solcher Rechengeschwindigkeiten extrem schwierig.

Deshalb sind eine neue Computerachitektur, eine neue Architektur für Computernetze und ein neues Programmierungsmodell erforderlich. Die neue Architektur und das neue Programmierungsmodell sollten das Problem überwinden, dass die unterschiedlichen Teile des Netzes Daten und Anwendungen gemeinsam nutzen, ohne zusätzliche Rechenleistung zu verbrauchen. Außerdem sollten die neue Architektur und das neue Programmierungsmodell die Sicherheitsprobleme beheben, die bei der gemeinsamen Nutzung von Anwendungen und Daten in Netzen auftreten."

Der Cell-Prozessor benutzt anstatt der Java-Software-"Sandkästen" Hardware-"Sandkästen". Der Hardware-Sandkasten basiert auf der verschlüsselten Kommunikation zwischen DRAM und Prozessor. Das Spiegelbild davon (auf der DRAM-Seite) ist das jüngste Verschlüsselungspatent von Rambus auf Schreib-Vorgänge.

Vielleicht zu viele Vielleichts?
Dem würde ich vordergründig zustimmen, aber man muss das Gesamtbild sehen und aus größerer Entfernung betrachten, was Cell für Rambus bedeuten könnte. In Wahrheit ist Cell nicht nur für Rambus von Bedeutung, sondern kann die gesamte Landschaft verändern. Cell wirkt sich wahrscheinlich auf mehrere Technologie-Aktien aus. Das hängt aber wiederum davon ab, dass einige andere Technologieunternehmen Breitbandverbindungen installieren.

Der Cell-Prozessor kann für alle beteiligten und betroffenen Unternehmen einen Wendepunkt darstellen. Der Ansatz unterscheidet sich grundlegend von den existierenden Ansätzen, die für die Überwindung der Interoperabilitäts- und Sicherheitsprobleme auf verschiedene Programmcodes und auf Prozessor-Overhead zurückgreifen. Das Ziel sind universell interoperable Computer. Vom einfachen PDA, der nur einen Cell enthält, bis zum 40-fachen der Rechenleistung einer Playstation 2 zielt Cell darauf ab, die Welt der Mikroprozessoren mitsamt Intel zu sprengen.

Rambus hat den ersten Schritt gemacht, hat einen großen Vorsprung und wird zum technologischen Wegbereiter. Dass Rambus mit von der Partie ist, kann kaum verwundern, weil das Unternehmen den schnellsten parallelen Bus, die schnellsten seriellen Verbindungen und den schnellsten Speicher hat. Rambus ist auf die Party mit dem Codenamen "Cell" eingeladen, die die Welt der Technologie durcheinanderwirbeln könnte.

Damit wollen wir nicht etwa andeuten, dass Intel im Regen stehen wird. Intel hat Zugang zu Rambus-Patenten auf XDR und serielle Interconnects, denn mit einer Anzahlung hat die Gesellschaft Lizenzen auf geistiges Eigentum erworben, das bis zum Jahre 2006 patentiert wird. Und aufgrund der Patent-Beziehungen zwischen IBM und Intel würde Intel mithilfe separat ausgehandelter Lizenzverträge Cell-Prozessoren herstellen, falls dieser Prozessortyp groß in Mode kommen sollte. Was wir aber andeuten wollen, ist die Tatsache, dass die neue Messlatte umfangreiche Parallelprozessoren sind, die für jeden einzelnen Prozessor eine hohe Bandbreite erfordern. Microsoft und Intel sind zwar noch nicht in den Grundfesten erschüttert, aber mit Sicherheit hat sie das Läuten wachgerüttelt. Das Cell-Konzept könnte das Mittel der Wahl sein, das die nächste Welle von Breitbandtechnologien beschleunigt und das Wegbereitern wie Rambus reichen Lohn bringt.

Xybernaut Granted Patent for Assessing Metal Deterioration on Maritime Vessels
Friday December 10, 10:34 am ET
Critical Inspection Process Utilizes Mobile/Wearable Computers; Maritime Security Presents New Opportunities for Canadian Patent


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2004-- Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News), today announced that the company has been granted a patent by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office for a system that detects metallic defects and corrosion on maritime vessels.
Called "System for assessing metal deterioration on maritime vessels," the patent describes a system or apparatus for on-site testing and inspecting of metal structures and their deterioration using non-destructive testing (NDT) devices and computing technologies. Under this patent, the inspector wears both the NDT device and a mobile/wearable computer. This configuration affords immediate access to inspection and test results.

Xybernaut believes that many maritime vessel operators could benefit greatly from this intellectual property and its integration with mobile/wearable computing technologies and solutions. To that end, the company is actively working to monetize this IP through relationships with industry-leading equipment manufacturers, resellers, integrators and solutions providers.

As stated previously, the steel thickness of maritime vessels is of critical importance to their safe operation. The highly corrosive nature of salt-water is a continuous concern for military and commercial fleet operators as well as recreational marine vessel owners/operators.

In the marine industry, ships of all kinds are inspected and gauged for hull thickness and deterioration. This activity typically takes place at specified intervals and at predetermined locations. In particular, chemical and oil tankers and bulk carriers are subject to metal deterioration, because of corrosion, at a faster rate than other types of ships. Significant metal loss places the vessel at risk of severe casualty and/or loss.

Advantages of the system of this invention include:

Accuracy of readings and results
Permanent electronic record of results, including date stamps of each gauge point
Immediate results for analysis through computer processing of information at site
Safety of inspectors performing the gauging due to hands-free capabilities
Efficiency
Continuous monitoring
Lower insurance rates
Reduced risk of Casualty
Saves potential liability and costs of a marine casualty
Ease of use
Multifunction capabilities
"There is no denying the critical role the maritime industry has played in the development of the modern economic environment - in fact, it is perhaps the most critical lifeline of international commerce," said Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "In our efforts to develop intellectual property, technologies and solutions that assist international enterprises operate more efficiently, we have realized that not only should we establish and protect IP in our core area of focus - mobile/wearable computing - but we also have many opportunities to secure IP in industry sectors that we consider our primary targets. This maritime patent is a perfect example of our effort and success in this area."

This newly-issued patent represents an attractive option for licensee or collaborative companies as well as customers in a wide variety of applications related to maritime vessel inspection.

This Canadian Patent -- No. 2349956 -- relates to U.S. Patent U.S. 6,633,820.

Xybernaut(R) Corporation (XYBR) , today announced it has been granted two new patents for leaving and retrieving messages and data of all types at specific locations -- such as coordinate waypoints -- within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network or other networks.

The patent, called "Way Point" (coordinate location), describes the technology for directing messages or information to a specific location or a pre-determined distance surrounding a location. The information, which could be personalized for individuals or organizations, could be any type of information, including voice messages, audio, video, animation, Web sites, documents, text or e-mail.

Xybernaut Way Point patents are recognized in numerous countries and cover a wide variety of potential business and consumer applications. Examples of business applications would be direct marketing, one-to-one marketing, field force automation, asset management and electronic commerce. Consumer applications might be emergency response; locating a missing person; notifying drivers of dangers before they approach an accident scene or road hazard; notifying consumers of discounts near a retail outlet; tracking military troop movement, or notifying travelers of the location of a favorite type of restaurant.

"Way Point is an important new patented technology because it provides a communication system for accessing as well as distributing information over a wireless network at specific longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate locations or waypoints," said Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "Developers who license this intellectual property will be able to design Way Point-enabled devices or networks which can determine locations around the globe for delivering specific information at various levels of security. Additionally, subscribers to Way Point-enabled systems will be able to define information preferences and the manner in which information will be presented."

Xybernaut is currently discussing applications with corporations, government entities and other organizations, according to Newman. "Commercial applications that might utilize Way Point technology should be available in the near future, especially considering the impact of recent federal mandates for the 911 emergency system," Newman added.

Since Way Point is device independent, it will work with any device such as GPS-enabled or other location-determining devices that can communicate and/or retrieve data over the CMRS and other networks.

The devices could be currently available items such as cell phones, PDAs, wearable computers, laptops, GPS-enabled automobiles or future technology. The information could be accessible by any subscriber or specifically tailored for certain individuals or subscriber segment(s). Subscribers will be able to retrieve information at specific coordinate locations while traveling within the network.

Examples of current networks on which the Way Point architecture can operate include cellular networks, satellite arrays, two-way radio or spread spectrum microwave networks. Many other types of communications networks are under development, such as geographically-based 802.11 "Hot Spots" that provide broadband wireless network connectivity within a defined area.

Users/subscribers will carry or transport location-aware (such as GPS) or intelligent devices for communicating and/or retrieving information over CMRS networks. Utilizing these information appliances, service providers and subscribers will deliver and/or retrieve information at specific coordinate locations while traveling within the networks. Many networks are now capable of pinpointing the location of a device with high levels of accuracy through triangulation, signal strength measurements, angle of incidence measurements, GPS over cellular and/or combinations of these techniques.

The Australian Way Point patent issues as patent No. 774578 and the Taiwan patent issues as patent No. 203958.

Xybernaut Add-on Contract from Virginia County for Scheduling Software Solution
Thursday December 23, 10:01 am ET
Attention to Total Customer Satisfaction Showing Results


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 23, 2004--Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) today announced an add-on contract valued at approximately $100,000 from a Virginia county for continued use of a Xybernaut service-based software solution developed to help the park and recreation department manage athletic facility use scheduling and maintenance.
"We are always particularly pleased when our partners and clients elect to continue the deployments of our solutions. Add-on contracts, regardless of size or industry, are an objective measurement of customer satisfaction. We have long believed that Xybernaut commitment to total customer satisfaction has long term revenue impact and this win is yet another indication that we are following the right path in numerous verticals," stated Steven A Newman, Xybernaut president and COO.

In this Virginia locale, a custom version of the Xybernaut Scheduling System (XSS) was developed to replace a 12-year-old legacy system with the objective of creating an enterprise-wide Web-enabled system. The XSS was tailored to solve many critical facility-scheduling issues including: coordination between facility users and governmental staff; fees accounting; maintenance monitoring; and related administrative functions.

The XSS employs a Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) with an Oracle 8i database. The front end was developed using Microsoft Visual Interdev to create ASP pages. Visual Basic based COM objects reside on MTS. Reporting is accomplished using Crystal Reports Version 8.5. ESRI MapObjects is also used to provide geographic search and display engine of available facilities.

At the time the Xybernaut XSS project began, this particular Virginia county was processing over 6,600 requests annually for community use of athletic facilities, scheduling over 870 ball fields and 227 gymnasiums. Though the Xybernaut XSS solution covers numerous facilities management tasks, each facility scheduling solution is built-to-order or customized based on specific needs of the customer.

Xybernaut is now able to provide customized scheduling solutions within other communities building on the expertise and know-how gained in its initial deployments. Xybernaut also plans to expand its product offerings for municipal organizations nationwide.

For XSS product and solution information, please contact Xybernaut at 703-631-6925.

Xybernaut Corporation Forms Homeland Security Division
Thursday January 6, 9:55 am ET
Newly Created Unit Developed to Respond to Growing Demand from Government and Private Sector for Xybernaut Security Solutions


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2005-- Xybernaut Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR - News) today announced the formation of a Homeland Security division. The unit was created as a result of strong demand from both government and private sector customers for the company`s homeland security and emergency preparedness solutions - including both systems and services.
Xybernaut systems and services are currently being used by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and have been deployed into several homeland security applications in the primary areas of emergency preparedness, critical incident response and site security.

Recently, the United States Department of Homeland Security recognized Xybernaut with an award for Outstanding Leadership in Emergency Data Interoperability.

The new business unit is expected to accelerate the company`s marketing and sales efforts in both the public and private sector. In conjunction with the development of this new unit, the Company has directed internal and channel sales forces to focus on security opportunities in each of its target markets - both domestic and on an international basis.

The company has also formed a Homeland Security Advisory Board that will include William G.T. Tuttle, General (ret.) United States Army and Harry E. Soyster, General (ret.) United States Army. Both Tuttle and Soyster currently serve as independent members of the Xybernaut corporate Board of Directors. When active, Tuttle served as ranking Commander of the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) - the primary logistics and operational readiness arm of the Army. Soyster served as Commander of the Army Intelligence and Security Command, as well as Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Army Intelligence.

"While providing innovative security solutions is not new for Xybernaut, recent wins and increases in high-profile opportunities in this area reaffirm that now is the right time to formalize and focus our efforts in this area," stated Steven A. Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "Xybernaut has made substantial investments in developing and acquiring cutting-edge security-related systems, solutions, intellectual property and know-how. This development will allow us to build on many of our successes and focus more directly on market opportunities."

Several recent security sector efforts in which Xybernaut has participated include:

Xybernaut spear-headed an effort to create a Critical Incident Response Tool Kit for emergency technicians and other "first responder" teams in the Charleston, SC metropolitan area. This initiative was funded by and coordinated with the US Department of Justice`s National Institute of Justice (NIJ), to develop best practices and technologies focusing on facility security, emergency preparedness, and disaster response.
Xybernaut is an integral part of a national program for school emergency preparedness. Under the Standard of School Safety: Littleton Initiative -- a program developed to identify and evaluate best practices and new technologies for school emergencies -- Xybernaut technologies were utilized by Littleton, CO law enforcement, SWAT and fire/rescue teams for full-scale school emergency readiness programs. The largest percentage of first responder participants was from Jefferson and Arapahoe Counties, the Littleton Police Department and the Littleton Public Schools security team - the community in which Columbine High School is located.
Xybernaut and partner VisualLink are active in the CommCare Alliance - a DC/MD/VA consortium addressing regional homeland security issues. The Alliance has developed systems and procedures for all types of emergencies/hazards such as bio-terrorism, traffic accidents, HAZMAT situations, medical emergencies, law enforcement/fire/rescue and many others.
The sale and deployment of the Atigo® T/HB "high bright" mobile/wearable computers to the U.S. Army for the deployment of wireless computer solutions for Apache attack helicopter maintenance at Ft. Campbell, KY.
The sale and deployment of Atigo T/HB computers to the 116th Air Control Wing. The deployment of the Atigo computers were studied in conjunction with existing maintenance software during an 8 month period of formal Department of Defense testing to find technologies and methodologies that reduce aircraft maintenance costs that could easily be deployed on a broader basis across many military units.
The sale and deployment of Xybernaut Mobile Assistant® V (MA® V) computers in Europe as the basis for a wireless/mobile computing system for airport management, security and mobile employee productivity.
Joint strategic relationship with FiRST Responder Systems & Technology (FiRST) to deliver mobile/wearable computers with embedded mobile GIS, data and resource management solutions to the nation`s first responders. The unique solution provides one of the first truly comprehensive offerings of mobile computing for the public safety industry. The solution utilizes Xybernaut lightweight and powerful Atigo computers to deliver powerful and at-hand information for use by emergency personnel while in-the-line-of-duty.
Xybernaut and ShotSpotter, Inc. have jointly developed a wearable computer system that allows military and law enforcement personnel to detect gunshots and their location in the field within seconds of the weapon discharging. This collaboration allows the system to go into the field as a mobile/wearable computing devices.
Xybernaut has been working with AOS to develop Location View Systems (LVS) for all levels of U.S. government agencies and organizations -- local, state and federal - and for both civilian and military use. For homeland security, the LVS offers a fully automated 360-degree panoramic image capture and mapping system that rapidly produces geo-coded location imagery as it moves or is moved throughout a city, military or industrial complex, recreational area, building or campus environment of any type.

Ich kann mir einen Kommentar zum Angriff von Oberhof nicht verkneifen, da dies mit Abstand der primitivste Beitrag in diesem Thread war. Es ist für mich keineswegs nachvollziehbar, wie man anderen Lesern "Sand in die Augen streut" bzw. pusht, indem man hauptsächlich Adhoc-Meldungen des Unternehmens o.ä. und auch mal persönliche Ansichten als Beiträge in den Thread stellt.
Ich hoffe, dass unser Xybernaut-Thread in Zukunft von derartigen Niveaulosigkeiten verschont bleibt.

Xybernaut Granted `Video Camera System` Patent in China
Tuesday January 11, 9:45 am ET
Invention Involves Body-Worn Mobile/Wearable Computer Combined with Video Camera
Wide Variety of Applications Possible


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2005--Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) today announced it has been granted a patent in China related to a system that combines a "body-worn" (mobile/wearable) computer and a video camera. The Chinese patent, called "Video Camera System," describes a computer technology platform comprised of these two separate technology components.
An example of a situation in which this system can be used is when a video camera operator is located in the rear of a crowd watching a parade or sporting event. He or she can hold the camera viewer above the crowd and view the image using a computer device, such as a head mounted display (HMD), thereby moving the camera viewer in the desired direction. The visible image can then be simultaneously displayed to the viewer (or user) and stored or recorded on the computer or even transmitted via the computer peripherals to a remote location.

"Frequently a video camera user cannot look directly into the camera because of some obstruction. In these cases, in order to be sure the camera is pointed in the right direction and toward the object to be captured by the image, an HMD worn by the user and connected to a computer can simplify this process. Obviously, military, law enforcement, security and emergency preparedness are natural applications," stated Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut.

Additional applications are readily apparent in both consumer/individual or business/enterprise settings. For example, complex maintenance or repair tasks could be accomplished in physical locations that make it difficult or impossible for the technician to both see a work area and perform tasks. Sporting events, concerts/entertainment, education and other industries present many other opportunities for creative use of this IP.

"Combined with our launch of Xybernaut China Ltd. as well as other IP recognized in China, SE Asia and surrounding regions, Xybernaut considers this type of application-based IP a valuable extension of our primary patents," added Newman.

Xybernaut has already entered into licensing and business combination relationships with international companies to develop technologies and solution services directly rooted in Xybernaut IP. Xybernaut continues to discuss applications of its IP with many corporations, government entities and organizations as part of an enhanced Licensing Plan announced previously.

This IP has issued as China Patent No. ZL98123135.7.

NEW YORK, Jan 18, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xybernaut Corporation (XYBR) today announced it will be showcasing next-generation grocery technologies at the National Retail Federation (NRF) annual conference and exposition this week in New York. The solutions, which are already being deployed at TESCO, the largest grocery supermarket company in the United Kingdom and the third largest retailer in the world, are being unveiled publicly for the first time today at the NRF conference.

The wireless computing solution, based on the Xybernaut Atigo(R) mobile/wearable technology, will be demonstrated until January 19th in the Xybernaut NRF booth (#2242). The NRF show is being held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.

The TESCO solution and its unveiling at NRF is of significance to Xybernaut because the deployment to TESCO is the largest deployment in the Company`s history and the demonstration is the first public showing of the solution in North America. TESCO have already deployed 800 devices with another 1000+ to be deployed in the next 3 months. These are being used at 300 grocery stores within TESCO`s UK operations to fulfill customer orders placed over TESCO`s web site - www.tesco.com.

For the TESCO deployment, the Atigo is configured to attach to a shopping cart-like trolley that "personal shoppers" (TESCO employees) use to fulfill on-line orders. The Atigo units were shipped pre-configured with TESCO client (workstation) and enterprise software and network applications.

"We are delighted to be a showcase customer for Xybernaut at NRF," said Mike Yorwerth, Head of Operations and Infrastructure for TESCO.com. "Mobile computing and wireless networking offer tremendous flexibility for retail applications. The Atigo product combined with Xybernaut`s flexible approach are driving significant improvements in our in-store operations."

The TESCO deployment has involved a team effort. For example, the Xperience Group, a leading Xybernaut distributor and fulfillment partner in the United Kingdom, assisted TESCO in imaging the devices with both system configuration and TESCO applications.

"Not only is the TESCO deployment, the largest in the company`s history, it makes retail one of the strongest vertical industry sectors for Xybernaut," said Steve Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "We believe that the flexibility of the Atigo platform combined with our intellectual property, know-how and hands-on experience in mobile/wearable and wireless deployments, positions Xybernaut as a go-to leader in deploying these types of technologies in retail and many other industry sectors."

The Atigo product family is available directly from Xybernaut and through the Team Xybernaut community of more than 100 value-added resellers (VARs) and systems integrators. Pricing for Atigo hardware depends on the configuration and accessory options chosen by the customer. Specific pricing details and price quotes can be obtained directly from Xybernaut by calling toll-free 1-888-992-3777.

Small Wonders

Tiny technologies don`t take up much space, but they can offer payback that belies their size.
BY ALICE DRAGOON


TECH ROI | In the land of the free and the home of supersizing, we`ve all been trained to think bigger is better. But just as good things can come in small packages, big ROIs can be had from tiny technology.

Here are three (relatively) pint-sized technologies that have the potential to pack a powerful ROI punch.


1. Wearable PCs
For some travelers staying at Hilton`s Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, part of the fun is traipsing through the hotel`s opulent art deco lobby to check in at the ornate front desk. But many road-weary business executives would just as soon skip the grandeur (and the wait) and head straight to their rooms. To allow them to do just that, guest service agents (GSAs) with wireless tablet PCs and small, wearable printers can bring the front desk to guests. GSAs can check in business travelers as soon as they get out of their cars, or check out departing vacationers as they step off the elevator. ``We don`t want to force people to walk to the main lobby,`` says Thomas B. Spitler, vice president of front office operations and systems at Hilton Hotels. ``We`ve even checked in groups on the beach in Hawaii.``

Two years of piloting has convinced Hilton executives of the value of wearable computers—small tablet PCs that communicate wirelessly with the Hilton LAN. At roughly 9.5 inches by 8 inches, the Atigo M from Xybernaut offers a bigger screen than a PDA. ``That additional real estate allows us to give GSAs floating in the lobby access to the same suite of tools they`d have if they were behind the front desk,`` says Spitler. What`s more, employees don`t need to spend time getting trained on a new mobile system; they just use a stylus to access a virtual keyboard onscreen.

Agents also wear a tissue box-sized Zebra Cameo PEP printer and a small magnetic stripe reader on a belt or carry it on a purselike strap over their shoulder. At check-in, they use the device to swipe customer credit cards and encode room keys as well as to print arrival, deposit and room number confirmations. At checkout, agents use the devices to quickly generate itemized folios. Because the printers are wireless Bluetooth-based, they don`t need cords to link them to the Xybernaut tablet PCs. Although an earlier version of the Xybernaut tablet required agents to tote an external battery pack, the current version runs on hot-swappable batteries that GSAs can replace on breaks without having to power down their applications.

``This technology is more about creating customer loyalty`` than ROI.
—ROBERT MACHEN,
HILTON VP OF CORPORATE SYSTEMS

Currently, seven of the more than 350 hotels that Hilton owns or manages use Xybernaut tools, with the cost to outfit one GSA being ``south of $5,000, including supporting technology,`` says Robert Machen, vice president of corporate systems. Hilton also has plans to expand the program, despite a lack of hard ROI numbers. ``Quick, efficient check-in is an extremely important metric,`` says Machen. ``But this technology is not about trying to create an ROI we can tie back to operational savings. It`s more about creating customer loyalty, and better positioning Hilton as a technology innovator.``

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2005-- High Tech and High Fashion meet on the catwalk when FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX - News), and mobile wearable computing maker Xybernaut Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR - News) present the first-ever demonstration of mobile and wearable computers January 24 during Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Latin America`s largest fashion event.
Xybernaut manufactures and supports the mobile and wearable computing used by FedEx Express that allows workers maximum mobility, portability and hands-free operation in the workplace.

"Brazil is a leading worldwide textile exporter and the FedEx/Xybernaut fashion show is a sign of the times in Brazil," said Guilherme Gatti, FedEx director of marketing, automation and customer service for South America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Gatti will present Fashion Meets Function, a discussion of high-tech fashion, including technological innovations in fashion, within the context of the fashion week. "FedEx has an impressive track record pioneering solutions to problems through its technological innovation. The use of mobile computing devices embodies our commitment to develop solutions that deliver a superior customer experience," Gatti added.

During Fashion Meets Function, Gatti will discuss innovations in fashion, textile, and technology including:

Utilitarian fashion that incorporates technological accessories such as computers and cell phones.
Clothing that contains fuel cells to provide a lightweight, portable source of power for technology or machinery.
The event will also feature live models on catwalks displaying the wearable computers, including the Xybernaut Mobile Assistant® V, and a multi-media demonstration of various wearable Xybernaut products, led by Brad Chitty, Executive Vice-President of Business Development of Worldwide Operations for Xybernaut. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, USA, Xybernaut is an industry leader in the design and development of mainstream applications.

FedEx Express uses the Xybernaut Atigo® Platform and Mobile Assistant® V to integrate vast amounts of data and information into a computer small enough to be totally portable.

FAIRFAX, Va. & AMSTERDAN, Netherlands, Jan 26, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Leading Cable Television Network Operator in Netherlands Purchases 120 Atigo Computers

Xybernaut Corporation (XYBR) , a leading developer of wearable/mobile computing solutions, today announced that Casema, one of the largest cable television network operators in the Netherlands, purchased 120 Xybernaut(R) Atigo(R) mobile/wearable computers.

This shipment, which represents an initial order for the customized computer devices, will be deployed by Casema for activities related to customer service support. The units will be deployed for use by field technicians as both stationary computer terminals when used in their vehicles and as mobile/wearable computers that can be taken from the vehicle when service technicians perform support tasks.

The Atigo deployment at Casema is being coordinated with close support from Axias - a Team Xybernaut(TM) value added reseller (VAR) working with Xybernaut to develop the market for mobile computing in the Netherlands.

Atigo products can be built-to-order to meet specific customer requirements. Similar to Atigo customers announced previously, Casema is taking advantage of customized Atigo features. These customization features include use of the customer`s logo for branding, unique wearability accessories, enhanced power supply options and custom software configurations.

"The Casema order is another example of our current successes in the communications industry, which is just one of the fast-growing market segments for the Atigo product family," said Steven A. Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "Since first introducing Atigo, we have won major new customers in very different business sectors -- including retail, hospitality, customer services, government, military, homeland/security, emergency first responders, communications and transportation -- each demanding unique and customized mobile computing capabilities," Newman added. "One common element all of these customers required was a flexible and truly mobile computing environment. We firmly believe the Atigo is one of the most adaptable mobile devices as it can be tailored to meet specific needs of customers intent on boosting productivity of their mobile work forces."

This newest Atigo T product (named Atigo T/HB "High Bright") was developed by Xybernaut in direct response to specific customer demand from numerous industry sectors for lightweight mobile devices that can operate well in the field under adverse lighting conditions.

The Atigo T/HB features an 8.4-inch touch-screen enabled high-contract 800x600 SVGA resolutions display which provides excellent visibility in outdoor use. The Atigo T/HB measures 7.9x9.4 inches and weighs less than 1.9 pounds including battery. The internal rechargeable Lithium-ion battery has a companion (optional) hot-swappable external battery that more than doubles run-time to more than four hours under normal use.

Current Xybernaut customer organizations include Hilton Hotels, FedEx Express, CSX, MBF Clearing Corp. (member-company on the New York Mercantile Exchange -- NYMEX), Flight Deck Resources, U.S. Department of Defense (all armed forces branches), U.S. Department of Justice, numerous first responder communities and many others.

The Atigo product family is currently available directly from Xybernaut and through Team Xybernaut -- the Company`s community of more than 100 (VARs) and systems integrators. Atigo products are frequently built-to-order and can be readily customized to meet specific client needs. As a result, specific pricing depends on specific configuration needs of each customer.

FAIRFAX, Va. & SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb 1, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xybernaut Corporation (XYBR) and Roaming Messenger (RMSG) announced today that they have formed a business alliance to deliver integrated solutions to government agencies and corporations. The announcement was made during the West 2005 Conference and Exposition presented by the Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA) and the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI), at the San Diego Convention Center.

Xybernaut will be integrating Roaming Messenger`s mobile messaging platform into its products and other best of breed solutions. The integrated solution takes advantage of lightweight and powerful Xybernaut Atigo(R) wireless mobile computers, as well as Roaming Messenger`s technology that encapsulates workflow logic and data into "smart messengers." These "messengers" can then enable dynamic interaction by Atigo users. This combined capability allows corporations and public agencies to extend active functionality of their core applications to the mobile world.

The Atigo mobile computers are a family of technologies designed for dual use as a wireless flat panel display (FPD) or a stand-alone wireless-enabled mobile/wearable computer.

The Atigo product family currently contains three products named Atigo M, Atigo T and Atigo T-HB (High Bright). All Atigo products support dual-use functions and are configured with built-in IEEE 802.11b WLAN wireless networking support through standard PC Card and/or Compact Flash slots. Atigo products utilize industry standard Microsoft(R) operating systems -- Windows(R) XP-Embedded for the Atigo T lines and CE.NET for the M.

With the integration of Roaming Messenger`s technology, users will be able to dynamically interact with a rich variety of content from the core application, including text, images, GIS data, voice and other information and processes. Furthermore, Roaming Messenger addresses a host of mobile messaging challenges by offering end-to-end, government grade security as well as interoperability across devices, networks and carriers.

"In selecting Roaming Messenger as a business alliance partner, we were impressed with the breakthrough capabilities of the technology, which goes beyond other mobile middleware solutions that use static messaging like email or SMS. By integrating Roaming Messenger into our solutions, we foresee delivering every greater value to both our enterprise and government our customers," stated Steven A. Newman, Xybernaut president and COO.

"Roaming Messenger is excited to team with Xybernaut, a leading provider of mobile computing hardware and integrated solutions. Our companies share a common vision of the increasingly mobile enterprise that requires the most advanced solutions to continually enhance the organization`s effectiveness, productivity and security," said Jon Lei, Roaming Messenger`s chief executive officer. This alliance opens up promising new opportunities to introduce Roaming Messenger`s technology to a wider customer base, given Xybernaut`s extensive penetration in government and enterprise markets.

The companies have agreed to collaborate on jointly promoting the integrated solutions in their respective existing sales channels and engaging in joint marketing opportunities.

January 27, 2005 11:15 AM US Eastern Timezone

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2005--SkyLink Airways has selected Flight Deck Resources to supply a complete Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) solution for their fleetwide needs through the year 2006. This turnkey solution includes an EFB computer, mounting solution, certification, software applications and support. It is the first installation of Flight Deck Resources` newest Class 2 EFB, the SkyTab 1000NG, and the first such installation ever on a Boeing 767 aircraft.

Flight Deck Resources will deliver a Class 2 EFB with a mounting solution and installation kit that will enable both pilots to view and use their own separate EFB system during all phases of flight. Each system will be located outboard of each pilot`s seat, yet still in their field of view. The systems will be tied to aircraft power during normal operations, but include an internal battery for backup. The solution is expected to receive supplemental type certification in early February 2005. After which the systems will be installed on SkyLink Airways fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft.

The pilots will use the Flight Deck Resources` FlightLine(TM) suite of software applications to interface with the EFB. This software suite includes the FlightLine Operating Environment (FLOE) application that functions as the unit`s main menu. It is a multi-threaded control panel developed to keep track of all other applications, including airline-specific or other third-party applications. It provides the pilot a fast, easy and reliable access to those applications that are part of the intended function, and replaces the standard Windows(R) desktop. SkyLink Airways has also selected another FlightLine application, Flight Explorer by Flight Deck Resources(TM). This application is used to select, view and search the airline`s electronic publications in PDF, HTML or XML format. The entire FlightLine suite incorporates hot buttons for day/night mode, adjustable software display filters, application-specific update procedure, automatic keyboard launcher, dynamically sized controls and a secure administrative interface. Additionally, SkyLink Airways will host other third-party applications used for aircraft performance calculations as well as data distribution and configuration.

"Winning this opportunity is a major milestone for Flight Deck Resources (FDR). The selection of our Class 2 EFB solution by SkyLink Airways sets a precedent for FDR as becoming the industry`s first EFB supplier to win a Class 2 EFB contract award with a FAR Part 121 operator," said Keith Lockwood, president and chief executive officer of Flight Deck Resources.

"Our goal is to make sure we maximize the use of available technology in our operation. A clear focus on safety, operational efficiency and reduction of operating costs pointed conclusively to a Class 2 EFB solution for our fleet of Boeing 767-200ER aircraft," said Captain Sandy Saunders, Director of Operations for SkyLink Airways. "FDR`s extraordinary team has developed an EFB solution that is exactly the right fit for our launch operation."

The SkyTab 1000NG is a self-contained, single-piece EFB solution designed to meet the stringent certification requirements associated with the flight deck environment. It is ruggedized in order to withstand the rigors of the commercial airline use, while simple to use via the touch screen, and at the same time a robust solution capable of hosting a wide range of solutions. The unit has been developed based on a modular technology and architecture which enables the unit to be upgraded and supported for many years. All these features and functionality including sunlight readability and dimming down to 1 nit for night operations have resulted in a complete EFB product capable of meeting or exceeding any airline`s requirement for a Class 2 EFB solution.

Xybernaut Corp. (ticker: XYBR, exchange: NASDAQ) News Release - 5/20/2004


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flight Deck Selects Xybernaut as Mobile/Wearable Computing Platform for Flight Deck Management System

FAIRFAX, Va. & IRVINE, Calif., May 20, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Computing Solution Enables Flight Crews Access to Critical digitized Flight Navigational Data and Flight Deck/Cabin Management Documentation, in the Cockpit, Plane-side or in the Airport Terminal

Xybernaut(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR) and Flight Deck Resources Inc. today announced a partnership agreement under which Xybernaut mobile/wearable computing technologies and Flight Deck Resources hardware and software solutions have been combined into a single electronic flight deck management system (FDMS) for pilots in both commercial and department of defense (DOD) applications.

Under the teaming relationship, Flight Deck has joined Team Xybernaut(TM) as a systems integrator and value added reseller (VAR). Both companies have been working together for more than nine months to develop the integrated platform with more than 100 FDMS units already purchased and deployed to-date.

The Flight Deck SkyTab(TM) 770 is an 8.4 inch portable, thin-client Flight Deck Management System with advanced features permitting a wide variety of applications. The Flight Deck SkyTab 770 is initially being based on the Xybernaut Atigo(R) mobile/wearable computer. Weighing a mere 1.9 pounds, this lightweight portable FDMS features sure-grip rubber handles on both sides with a 1GHz Transmeta processor, Embedded Windows XP operating system, 256 MB RAM and easy access to a virtual keyboard and scroll buttons.

The unit supports commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software and industry standard peripherals (such as GPS, digital cameras, audio/video, WiFi connectivity, and more) as well as customized applications for military and commercial aviation needs. The SkyTab 770 model also has standard support for both PCMCIA and Compact Flash (CF) cards and services.

As the baseline computer technology, the Xybernaut Atigo has already been ruggedized, modified for readability in "all-light" situations and configured with new expansion hubs for unique power and input/output (I/O) connectors.

The Flight Deck SkyTab(TM) line of Flight Deck Management Systems includes Class 2 portable EFB`s as defined by FAA AC 120-76A. These FDMS are capable of everything from displaying Chartrax(TM) or JeppView(R) digital terminal procedures charts, company policies, aircraft manuals and preflight planning applications to exceedingly complex functions such as aircraft performance calculations, runway analysis in addition to real-time NEXRAD weather information.

Though military applicability is a potential market for the jointly development platform, the companies` efforts are concentrating initially on commercial and civil aviation applications. Integrated Flight Deck-Xybernaut systems are already deployed with American Express, ATT, Dreamworks, Eastman Kodak, Hewlett Packard, IBM, News Corporation, Nike, Time Warner, Inc., Universal Pictures and other corporate customers.

"With more that 100 years of industry experience, our staff understands the unique needs of business aviation and commercial airlines worldwide. In deployments to-date, operational aircrews reported that FDMS applications increase effectiveness, improve flight safety, enhance crew resource management and improve planning and training," stated Keith L. Lockwood, president and COO for Flight Deck. "Initially our FDMS units were developed primarily for use in the cockpit environment. To meet customer requests, the next-generation FDMS needed to be low cost and portable, yet flexible and powerful enough to complement other pre-, in- and post-flight systems. The Atigo FDMS takes this capability to a whole new level for pilots and aviation sector executives."

The Xybernaut-Flight Deck FDMSs can be operated independently of aircraft electrical power, mission-based computer software, tactical data processing systems and existing aircraft navigation systems. The system can function equally as a flight-planning tool or an in-flight situational awareness aid.

"Flight Deck and Xybernaut have proven experience in various aspects of aviation," said Steven A. Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "This is an excellent example of how Team Xybernaut partners are working to meet the demanding needs of customers. The joint Flight Deck-Xybernaut FDMS solution provides a proven platform that can expand and evolve as quickly as customers` needs."

The joint solutions are available immediately to commercial organizations from Flight Deck. For more information, including pricing, please call 949.679.9900 or send e-mail to [e-mail].

Information Ministry to Woo 40 Research Centers by 2012



By Kim Tae-gyu
Staff Reporter
The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) aims to attract five research centers here from world-leading info-tech firms per annum for the next eight years.

An MIC official, who wanted to be identified by just his surname Chung, said Wednesday that the ministry set up an eight-year plan to entice 40 research and development (R&D) centers to Korea.

``Foreign research labs start to crop up here thanks to our strong IT infrastructure and trend-conscious early adopters. We hope to help Korea achieve the much-touted goal of becoming the R&D hub of Northeast Asia,`` Chung said.

Until 2003, Korea retained only a pair of legitimate IT research centers, established by U.S.-headquartered outfits of Fairchild and Motorola.

But for last year alone, the ministry drew in five major research investment from world-renowned businesses, such as Intel, Fraunhofer, International Business Machines, Hewlett-Packard and Siemens.

The ministry also signed many memorandums of understanding (MOU) last year with Caspian, Cambridge University and Agilent Technologies, which are expected to build research labs this year.

In addition, the ministry is now in negotiations with another group of high-tech players, including Qualcomm, EMC, Microsoft, Xybernaut, Cyberlaser and On Semiconductor.

``We will spare nothing for companies that select Korea as their investment destination. The Ministry of Planning and Budget also promised to increase the budgets to the incoming firms,`` Chung said.

He expected that the construction of an R&D cluster in Sangam, western Seoul, would spur an increase of offshore R&D investment when it is completed in late 2007.

The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) contributed its efforts to the nation`s scheme of evolving to become the research hub of Northeast Asia.

The MOST wooed four research investors last year _ Institut Pasteur, University of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory, DuPont and Russia`s State Optical Institute.

The MOST also plans to come out with mid- to long-term plans of attracting expatriate research labs. But the ministry is not likely to be as active as the MIC.

``We will not channel a large sum of money to draw foreign R&D centers as we did last year with Institut Pasteur. That case was an exception,`` a MOST official said.

In late 2003, the MOST promised to subsidize 100 million euros to build Institut Pastuer`s Korean lab and channeled 6.5 billion won into it last year.

FAIRFAX, VA and SANTA BARBARA, CA, February 1, 2005 -- Xybernaut Corporation (XYBR) and Roaming Messenger (RMSG) announced today that they have formed a business alliance to deliver integrated solutions to government agencies and corporations. The announcement was made during the West 2005 Conference and Exposition presented by the Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA) and the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI), at the San Diego Convention Center.

Xybernaut will be integrating Roaming Messenger`s mobile messaging platform into its products and other best of breed solutions. The integrated solution takes advantage of lightweight and powerful Xybernaut Atigo(R) wireless mobile computers, as well as Roaming Messenger`s technology that encapsulates workflow logic and data into "smart messengers." These "messengers" can then enable dynamic interaction by Atigo users. This combined capability allows corporations and public agencies to extend active functionality of their core applications to the mobile world.

The Atigo mobile computers are a family of technologies designed for dual use as a wireless flat panel display (FPD) or a stand-alone wireless-enabled mobile/wearable computer.

All Atigo products support dual-use functions and are configured with built-in IEEE 802.11b WLAN wireless networking support through standard PC Card and/or Compact Flash slots. Atigo products utilize industry standard Microsoft(R) operating systems -- Windows(R) XP-Embedded for the Atigo T lines and CE.NET for the M.

With the integration of Roaming Messenger`s technology, users will be able to dynamically interact with a rich variety of content from the core application, including text, images, GIS data, voice and other information and processes. Furthermore, Roaming Messenger addresses a host of mobile messaging challenges by offering end-to-end, government grade security as well as interoperability across devices, networks and carriers.

"In selecting Roaming Messenger as a business alliance partner, we were impressed with the breakthrough capabilities of the technology, which goes beyond other mobile middleware solutions that use static messaging like email or SMS. By integrating Roaming Messenger into our solutions, we foresee delivering even greater value to both our enterprise and government our customers," stated Steven A. Newman, Xybernaut president and COO.

"Roaming Messenger is excited to team with Xybernaut, a leading provider of mobile computing hardware and integrated solutions. Our companies share a common vision of the increasingly mobile enterprise that requires the most advanced solutions to continually enhance the organization`s effectiveness, productivity and security," said Jon Lei, Roaming Messenger`s chief executive officer. "This alliance opens up promising new opportunities to introduce Roaming Messenger`s technology to a wider customer base, given Xybernaut`s extensive penetration in government and enterprise markets."

The companies have agreed to collaborate on jointly promoting the integrated solutions in their respective existing sales channels and engaging in joint marketing opportunities. Xybernaut will be participating in Roaming Messenger`s booth at this week`s AFCEA/USNI West 2005 show, (booth 2021 in the main Exhibit Hall).

hier erst mal die ganze news

Xybernaut Chosen by Korean IT and Communications Ministry to Lead ``Ubiquitous Room`` Initiative
Thursday February 3, 10:48 am ET
Intelligent Home Network Market Expected To Be $102.6 Billion By 2007


SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2005--Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) and the Ministry for Information and Communications (MIC) for the Republic of Korea today announced that Xybernaut has been chosen by the Korean Ministry to lead efforts for Korea`s industry/government sponsored wearable section of the "Ubiquitous Room" initiative which is located at the MIC HQ in Seoul, Korea.
ADVERTISEMENT


The "Ubiquitous Room" initiative is part of Korea`s IT839 Strategy and more specifically a program called The Intelligent Home Network. The IT839 Strategy, which was formally unveiled in early 2004 by Minister Chin Dae-je, was created to help Korea maintain its leadership in information and related technologies.

Industry observers agree that the market for intelligent buildings/rooms is a fast-growing opportunity for technology providers and know-how leaders. In Korea specifically, the goal is to have more than 10 million home networks by 2007 with a broader ambition for Korea to own more than 11% of the world market share in home network technologies. More detailed information related to the Korean IT839 Strategy can be found at http://www.mic.go.kr/eng/res/res_pub_it839.jsp .

As previously announced, the opportunity to participate in and contribute directly to the IT839 Strategy was a key element in establishing Xybernaut Korea Ltd. The nine primary technology areas identified under the IT839 Strategy are Intelligent Service Robots, Intelligent Home Network, Post-PC Era, Next-generation Mobile Communication, Digital Content, IT System-in-chip (IT SoC), Telematics, Embedded Software and Digital TV.

"Xybernaut is very pleased to be participating and in developing the Ubiquitous Room for MIC," stated Edward Newman, Chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "Under Minister Chin`s strong direction and management, Korea has once again demonstrated that it is very serious about being the leader in the next generation of embedded home and office intelligence architectures, pervasive and ubiquitous operating systems, as well as in a wide variety of electronics and traditional `white goods` appliances for the coming decade."

"We are honored that Dr. Chin and his Ministries have so clearly expressed their confidence in Xybernaut scientists, engineers, and our products by assigning this Ubiquitous Room project to the joint Xybernaut/Korean team who will work very closely on this effort with MIC. We are confident that our abilities and know-how in this and other IT839 Strategy sectors will position us as a strong candidate for further involvement," added Newman.

The MIC commented that "The MIC is very pleased to have Xybernaut leading the mobile/wearable section of the Ubiquitous Room, and anticipate that the efforts will greatly assist Korean industry in taking the lead in these high-growth areas. Since Xybernaut is the international leader in mobile/wearable computing and communications, Xybernaut brings the kind of vision and focus to Korean industry partnerships that will certainly lead to successful positioning in the Post-PC era."

wissi,

lustig ist das nicht, aber verständlich.das vertrauen bei den anlegern ist weg. nachdem deas q4/2003 (3,7 mio) und das q1/2005 (4,4 mio ) einen aufwärtstrend zeigten, ging es in q2 + q3 wieder bergab. Damit ist keine erfolgsstory zu machen.

die letzten wochen waren nur das problem der nachfrage. es kamen keine großen stücke auf den markt. es waren halt nur keine käufer da. agreements und vereinbarungen sind halt noch lange keine umsätze.

trotzdem, ich bin für 2005 zuversichtlich. letztes jahr hatten wir nur csx mit ca. 2,5 mio auftragsvolumen. dieses jahr haben wir tesco mit 9+ mio, die russische außenhandelsbank vneschtorbank ( der vertrag ist nicht quantifiziert, aber die russen wollen $100 mio in den nächsten 3 jahren in die it investieren) und dazu noch ein kleiner kontrakt mit casema.

von fed ex haben wir 2 jahre lang nichts gehört und jetz die brasilien sache. bislang wurde der ma nur bei der flugzeugwartung eingesetzt und jezt wird zum ersten mal über das auslieferungsgeschäft gesprochen!

wir brauchen mehr umsatz

The Toeristiek investigators will be using the Atigo computers to gather information about resort and property facilities. This information can range from very basic data such as number and size of rooms, rates and amenities to other in-depth analyses such as photos of the properties, information about proximity to fine dining, sports, excursions or information related to specific features and surroundings that would be of interest to tourists, families and special interest groups.

"We selected Xybernaut Atigo computers after a lengthy competitive review of more than 20 candidate-technologies to replace our existing Fujitsu devices," stated Branko A. Schuyt, application manager for Reed Business Information`s Toeristiek tourism unit. "The most critical factors for us were flexibility, performance, overall cost and durability. The form-factor of the Atigo and its ability to function as a stand-alone device as well as a networked computer quickly put it at the top of our list. Our investigators work 8-hour shifts in locations that are at the extremes as far as climate - cold/snow as well as heat/humidity. Battery life and screen visibility in extreme sunlight conditions were also considered paramount. The Atigo met the greatest number of criteria," added Schuyt

Similar to previously announced Atigo customers, Toeristiek is taking advantage of customized Atigo features. These customization features include use of unique wearability accessories, specific software configurations, and support for various types of network connectivity options. The Atigos being used by Toeristiek investigators will incorporate external GPS/GIS capabilities for gathering general information about the area surrounding a resort. The Atigo units will also be used in conjunction with digital cameras to allow real-time uploads of photos.

"Reed Business Information is one of the largest business-to-business data gathering and management companies in the world and represents another blue-chip organization to join our customer ranks," said Steven A. Newman, president and COO of Xybernaut. "As we demonstrate that Xybernaut technologies are, indeed, more flexible, scalable and powerful than typical mobile devices, we are winning more customers who are focused on boosting productivity of their respective mobile work forces and equally interested in improving the quality of their enterprise data and knowledge," added Newman.

The Atigo product family is available directly from Xybernaut and through Team Xybernaut(TM) -- the Company`s community of more than 100 value added resellers (VARs) and systems integrators. Pricing for Atigo hardware depends on the configuration and accessory options chosen by the customer. Specific pricing details and price quotes can be obtained directly from Xybernaut by calling toll-free 1-888-992-3777.

Xybernaut Granted Korean Patent for Core Computer Unit
Friday February 11, 10:17 am ET
Transferable Core and Related Intellectual Property Recognized in another Leading International Economy


FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2005--Xybernaut® Corporation (Nasdaq:XYBR - News) today announced that the Company has been granted a new patent by the Korean Intellectual Property Office.
ADVERTISEMENT


The patent, called "Core Computer Unit," is related to the Company`s Transferable Core intellectual property and describes a computing system consisting of two separate but compatible structures.

The first structure, the core computer, includes components such as a processor, volatile and non-volatile storage, main circuit board, input/output controller, and video/audio controller enclosed in a sealed structure with a single operator interface.

The second structure is an enclosure that has a reciprocal connection means and provides interfaces for the core unit. Both the first and the second structure are non-functional as a computer when not combined.

The Transferable Core intellectual property describes a system that is often referred to as the "brains" of a PC -- processor, memory, storage and I/O circuitry, your desktop, software applications and information -- everything but the power supply and display. When plugged into what the company calls an "enclosure," which can be anything from a stripped down laptop, to a cell phone, to the dashboard of a car, the core unit becomes a true "personal" computer.

The Transferable Core and related Core Computer Units allow a computer user to determine the core computer components needed while allowing the user to easily remove or transfer this core into a wide variety of enclosures. The true benefit of Xybernaut Transferable Core patented technologies is that, regardless of what enclosure is used, the operator always has a familiar computing environment. The operating system, software, applications, data and the look-and-feel of the user`s personal desktop are the same.

Systems described under this patent have the potential of being programmed with generic data (such as safety instructions or inspection/maintenance/repair procedures) or programmed with mission-specific information or performance parameters that are tailored to each operator or a specific operator task.

"Moving quickly to build on the formation of Xybernaut Korea Ltd., we are actively pursuing ways to leverage our intellectual property assets in this and other leading international markets," stated Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "As indicated previously, recent patent grants and the establishment of new international operations are part of the company`s efforts to expand its presence in leading economic regions. The company has long been involved in numerous partnerships and marketing alliances in Europe and Asia while also protecting/expanding its intellectual property and working in these markets - similarly to North America - under a comprehensive IP licensing strategy. Securing and protecting intellectual property in these areas strengthens our position as a leader in mobile computing."

This new patent Korean patent No. 0461936, which relates to U.S. Patent No. 5,999,952, represents an attractive option for licensees such as collaborative companies or customers in a wide variety of applications related to mobile computing.

FAIRFAX, Va., Feb 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Greater Flexibility and Usability; Expanded Line of Accessories; More Configuration and Performance Options Now Available

Xybernaut(R) Corporation (XYBR) today introduced the Atigo(R) S -- a new addition to the Atigo platform of products. Atigo is a line of mobile/wearable computers designed for dual use as a wireless flat panel display (FPD) or a stand-alone wireless-enabled computing or communications device.

With the introduction of the Atigo S and the announcement of several additional enhancements, the Atigo product family becomes an even more flexible and attractive mobile computing option for a wide variety of business or consumer applications.

Flexibility is Critical

All Atigo products support dual-use functions and are configured with built-in IEEE 802.11b/g/a WLAN wireless networking support through standard PC Card and or Compact Flash (CF) port-card slots. The Atigo S adds two newer port-card slot options including miniPCI for integrated wireless connectivity and integrated hard disk drives at 20 and 40GB. These new options allow users to choose from four standard configurations. This flexibility can be a critical factor in deploying the Atigo as a standard computing platform while supporting many different types of mobile employees and/or job functions.

The Atigo S is powered by an Advanced Micro Devices Geode(TM) GX2 533 CPU. Flash memory options for the Atigo platform include 64, 128, 256, 512MB and 1, 2, and 4GB. Flexibility of the Atigo directly relates to the ability to support a wide variety of operating systems and software.

Broad Operating System and Software Support

Atigo products utilize industry standard Microsoft(R) and LINUX operating systems. Currently supported OS options include Windows(R) CE.NET, CE.NET 5, XP Embedded SP2, XP Professional SP2, LINUX Embedded and SUSE LINUX.

Atigo products are built-to-order and are typically shipped pre-configured with software and applications specifically chosen by the customer. Other customization features can include design elements, such as use of corporate logos and colors, or configuration aspects, such as computing features and application support.

Xybernaut also offers support from its wholly-owned solutions company (XSI) to directly assist enterprise customers in determining the most effective and efficient way to deploy Xybernaut systems including Atigo products. This support can be in the form of WiFi site analysis, deployment management, application management and strategies to maximize return on investment (ROI).

Enhanced Power Management

Atigo products have internal rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries with optional hot-swappable external batteries. Atigo S adds increased power management with optional internal batteries that double the use-time of the Atigo. Atigo products can easily operate for a typical eight hour shift using hot-swappable battery options. Combining the hot-swappable feature with an array of optional extended batteries will allow Atigo units to run virtually non-stop.

Enhanced Display Technologies

All Atigo products share the same measurements -- 7.9 x 9.4 inches -- with a weight of less than two pounds (including extended battery), which is less than most competitive tablets or laptops.

All Atigo products have touch-screen enabled TFT displays with 800 x 600 SVGA resolution. All Atigo products also incorporate Xybernaut all-light readable display technologies that make Atigo one of the most versatile mobile-wireless product families for field force automation and related applications such as wireless/mobile sales support or customer relationship management. Recent "High Bright" enhancements for the Atigo T will also be available for the Atigo S.

All Atigo products have multimedia features including a built-in 16-bit sound microphone/speaker; stereo headphone jack; and enhanced support for multimedia.

A wide variety of accessory options are available for all Atigo products including an external 9-cell battery; a four-bay 9-cell battery charger (great for organizations with multiple Atigo users in one location or on the same shift), AC chargers, vehicle chargers with high temperature features, facility and vehicle mounting cradles; wireless keyboard/mouse options; and a variety of soft-goods for wearability and ergonomics.

"We are constantly gathering customer feedback as it relates to our systems and solutions," said Edward G. Newman, chairman and CEO of Xybernaut. "Atigo is a great example of how we build a mobile computing platform that is based on Xybernaut intellectual property, positioned strategically in the market and developed specifically with high flexibility in mind. This flexibility has been and will continue to be a critical competitive differentiator for Xybernaut and an instrumental element of our ability to meet changing needs of our customers."

The Atigo product family is currently available directly from Xybernaut and through Team Xybernaut(TM) -- the Company`s community of more than 100 value added resellers (VARs) and systems integrators. Pricing for Atigo systems depends entirely on the configuration and accessory options chosen by the customer. Specific pricing details and price quotes can be obtained directly from Xybernaut by calling toll-free 1-888-992-3777.

EIC AND ITS MEMBERS RECEIVE AWARDS FROM DHS`S DISASTER MANAGEMENT EGOV INITIATIVE
Written by EIC

Tuesday, 22 February 2005
Washington, DC – February 17, 2005 -- The Emergency Interoperability Consortium (EIC) today announced that several of its member organizations and companies have received Department of Homeland Security awards for providing outstanding leadership in emergency data interoperability, including participating in the first use of the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL).

Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA), Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives’ Homeland Security Committee, announced the awards on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security`s (DHS) Disaster Management eGov Initiative. Gordon Fullerton, Executive Sponsor of the DHS Initiative, conferred the award certificates on executives of the organizations.

Weldon noted that "In conjunction with the EIC, the Disaster Management eGov Initiative is facilitating the development of common data standards to allow emergency response agencies to share data with each other, regardless of the communications system they are using."

The DHS certificate of award states that the organizations were recognized "for their leadership in helping to remove the barrier of data interoperability in emergency response." Fullerton noted that many of the awardees are direct competitors in the marketplace, yet cooperated in sharing emergency data using the new standards. Congressman Weldon announced the following organizations that received awards: Apex Innovations, Appian Corporation, Battelle, Blue 292, Inc., the ComCARE Alliance, DICE Corporation, the Emergency Interoperability Consortium, Emergency Services Integrators, E Team, Fire Monitoring Technologies International, Inc., The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute, MyStateUSA, Proxicom, SDI, Towson University Center for GIS, and Xybernaut.

These companies and organizations first successfully held an emergency communications interoperability demonstration using the Emergency Data Exchange Language at The George Washington University on October 27th, 2004. Since that time the EIC, along with its many partners, has continued to conduct such demonstrations around the country.

EIC is working with emergency response organizations to facilitate the development of additional common data messaging standards to allow emergency response agencies to share data with each other, regardless of the communications system they are using. "We look forward to more companies and organizations joining in the effort that the EIC and Disaster Management eGov Initiative have begun." said Matt Walton, EIC chairman and vice chairman and founder of E Team, Inc., a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of crisis management software. "We have made real progress in removing the barriers that currently hinder data sharing in emergencies. The work our partners are doing will benefit everyone involved - from the government agencies that work to secure our nation against potential threats to first responders in the field and the people they assist," Walton added.

Recently the EIC and the Department of Homeland Security announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to promote the development and proliferation of data sharing standards for emergency response. The agreement established an alliance between the two organizations to jointly promote the design, development, release, and use of XML standards to help solve data sharing problems commonly encountered during emergency operations. The initial term of the agreement is three years.

Initial collaborative efforts between DHS and the EIC produced in 2004 the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), the first data standard for sharing alert information between dissimilar systems. The next generation of data sharing standards, being developed with the leadership of emergency response organizations, is called Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL). It goes beyond alerting to address the routing and substance of a wide variety of interagency emergency messaging. The first of these, a common "distributional element" for routing emergency messages, has been passed from the EIC with DHS concurrence to the OASIS formal standards development organization. The EIC encourages other companies to join in this mission of improving emergency communications through collaborative efforts.

About EIC

The Emergency Interoperability Consortium (EIC) was launched in October 2002 to address the nation’s lack of consistent technical interoperability and standards for emergency and incident management. Now comprised of over 25 organizations, the EIC promotes the development and adoption of standards for using Web services, Extensible Markup Language (XML), and existing exchange protocols that support the timely and accurate exchange of incident information throughout the emergency response communities.

For more information on EIC, see www.eic.org, or contact Matt Walton at [e-mail] or 818-932-0660 ext. 204.

hi paula,

ich habe es geahnt! schaun mer mal, ob das der shakeout war.
mit nachkaufen warte ich lieber noch, wer weis schon was hier noch kommt.

hi paula, jethro,

meine frau ( arbeitet bei einem großen gemischtwarenladen mit angeschlossener bank) war gestern auf der cebit und hat auch mal bei xybr vorbeigeschaut.
es gibt nicht viel neues - der MA ist, wer hätte das gedacht, immer noch der zeit ( ..und der technik prozessor/batteriekapazität) voraus. bis der ma richtig läuft werden noch 2-3 jahre vergehen.

xybr stützt sich derzeit auf den atigo, aber wir sehen ja die umsätze

einer der wesentlichsten faktoren sind die patente. lizenzgebühren werden über das wohl und wehe der company entscheiden. es wurde zwar bereits mehrmals mitgeteilt, dass man mit 50-100 companys bereits kontakt hat, aber richtig rausgekommen ist noch nichts. reed smith ist aber eine richtig renomierte anwaltskanzlei.

alles in allem erwarte ich, dass wir eventuell das atl ($0,19) nochmals testen werden. hoffentlich bin ich der kontraindikator.

nochmals zum delay der q4 zahlen: der grund dafür könnte der einstieg bei shenzen sunshine hi tech sein. vielleicht gibt es juristische probleme bei der abwicklung zwischen usa und china.

sieht scheisse aus zur zeit

hier läuft bereits ein projekt mit der feuerwehr von chicago

Chips helfen mit
Hightech für Feuerwehr

Der Dachstuhl eines Mehrfamilienhauses brennt. Die oberen Stockwerke sind völlig verraucht. Den Feuerwehrleuten fällt die Orientierung in den verqualmten Räumen schwer. Solche und ähnliche Situationen sind für die Einsatzkräfte extrem gefährlich. In Zukunft könnten sie aber dank der Forschungsarbeit eines Instituts für angewandte Informationstechnik tatkräftige Unterstützung erhalten. Wie das aussehen wird, ist auf der CeBIT 2005 zu sehen.

Zu den Technologien von morgen gehören etwa Funk-Relais, die kaum größer als eine Münze sind. Sie werden von den Einsatzkräften im brennenden Gebäude verteilt. Automatisch bauen sie dann ein sich selbst organisierendes ad-hoc-Funknetz auf, das die Orientierung erleichtert.

Ebenfalls in der Entwicklung: Ein tragbarer Computer, der in die Gürtelschnalle integriert werden kann. Er verarbeitet und speichert die ermittelten Daten und sendet sie an ein Display, das sich im Visier des Helms befindet. Biometrische Sensoren, die in der Kleidung der Feuerwehrleute stecken, messen darüber hinaus die Herzfrequenz, den elektrischen Widerstand der Haut oder die Körpertemperatur.


Diese Daten werden per Funk über das ad-hoc-Funknetz an den Einsatzleiter übertragen, der so die körperliche Verfassung seines Teams einschätzen und gegebenenfalls die Evakuierung anordnen kann.

Storage, Input, Other End-User Gadgets Make CeBIT Noise

A bevy of new storage, input, security, accessory and other devices—free-standing or for PDAs and notebooks—were on display at the CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany, this past week, appropriate for everyone from enterprise users and field/emergency personnel to "prosumers" and multimedia consumers. ADVERTISEMENT
Here are a few of the highlights:

User interfaces show flexibility: When a rigid user interface won`t do, think flexible fabric, e.g., a keyboard you can fold around your PDA, or MP3 controls on the sleeve of your jacket or on your phone case ... and able to survive a few dozen cycles through your washing machine.

London-based Eleksen (formerly Elektex) was showing preproduction samples for integrated fabric touch pads and concept demos for audio controls, joysticks and others. The products are expected to have both civilian and military applications. A Bluetooth product will ship at the end of June, according to a booth spokesperson.

Computers of various shapes and sizes: Wearable-computer maker Xybernaut showed at CeBIT the latest iteration of its Windows CE and Windows XP "touchables"—including local-partner demos for health, retail and other verticals, like MedDV`s mobile emergency management and documentation system, a voice-enabled warehouse management system, and QRS Diagnostic`s Mobile Emergency Vital Signs Kit.


Sony, meanwhile, has joined the "pocketable PC" crowd with its new Vaio Ultra Portable PC line. Running Windows XP and with a 30GB hard drive, 5-inch color display, 802.11b/g, and slots for Compact Flash and Memory stick, you can treat this as a large-PDA-sized full-function computer or a portable media player.

Next-generation sneakernets: Got files you want to move between USB devices? You don`t need a computer anymore as a go-between; you can now use products like Sunix`s new pocket-sized OTG Bridge, or the OTG Enclosure, which also can accommodate a Compact Flash card. Available late April or later, it has an estimated price in the $50 range.

Speaking of sneakers, Adidas was showing its "Intelligent Shoes"—sneakers with enough processors and other doohickeys to adjust the firmness for walking versus running, and do all sorts of other mysterious things short of a GPS to make sure you`re always going where you want to.

Flash RAM storage updates: In the flash RAM memory arena, Pretec Electronics Corp. introduced at the show its new hot-swap-removable, or embeddable, C-Flash flash memory card/module—up to 256MB now, with 1GB coming in the third quarter. The C-Flash is similar to, but slightly smaller than, the CU-Flash the company introduced at the CES show in January. Estimated pricing is about 10 percent higher than comparable-capacity Secure Digital.

SanDisk has added to its high-speed Ultra II line, with 512MB and 1GB Secure Digital flash memory cards that have regular pins on end for use in digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and mobile phones. In addition, it there is a hideaway USB 2.0 high-speed connector under a hinged cover plate that can snap away to let the card plug directly into a standard USB port, eliminating the need for a separate reader. Just don`t lose it.

XYBERNAUT ANNOUNCES DELAY IN FILING OF FORM 10-K, AUDIT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION, RECEIPT OF SEC SUBPOENA, AND NASDAQ NOTIFICATION; PRE-RELEASES 2004 YEAR END AND 4TH QUARTER UNAUDITED RESULTS

FAIRFAX, VA, March 31, 2005 -- Xybernaut Corporation (NASDAQ: XYBR) announced today that the filing of its Form 10-K and other related reports for the year ended December 31, 2004, anticipated to occur today, will be further delayed, pending completion of an internal investigation undertaken by its Audit Committee.

On February 28th, the Audit Committee engaged independent counsel – Alston & Bird LLP -- to assist it in conducting an internal investigation of, among other things, concerns brought to the Audit Committee’s attention relating to the internal control environment of the Company, the propriety of certain expenditures and the documentation of certain expenses of the Chairman and CEO of the Company, the Company’s transparency and public disclosure process, the accuracy of certain public disclosures, management’s conduct in response to the investigation, and the propriety of certain major transactions. The Audit Committee’s investigation is continuing, and the filing of the Company’s 10-K will await the conclusions of that investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict when its 10-K will be filed.

On February 1, 2005, the Company received a subpoena from the Northeast Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking documents and other information relating to the sale of Company securities by any person identified as a selling shareholder in any Company registration statement or other public filing.

As a result of the delayed filing of its Form 10-K, the Company will lose its status to file registration statements on form S-3, which has historically been utilized to expedite the registration of common stock issued in connection with the Company’s financings. The loss of the right to use form S-3 could have a material impact on the ability of the Company to raise additional funds in the future, and therefore affect its ability to meet its obligations as they come due.

Management is still in process of completing the Sarbanes-Oxley 404 internal control testing for the year ended December 31, 2004. However, certain material weaknesses currently have been identified related to the control environment and control activities as it relates to the Company’s policies and procedures in the expense reimbursement process, revenue recognition related to certain product sales, and monitoring of business risks. Management continues to evaluate the identified issues and is addressing remediation plans to be implemented.

Xybernaut also announced unaudited results for the year end December 31, 2004 in addition to 4th quarter results. Revenues for 2004 were approximately $13.9 million, with a net loss of approximately $19.7 million. Revenues for the 4th quarter were approximately $2.9 million, with a net loss of approximately $7.2 million. These unaudited results do not include possible further adjustments, including but not limited to, the matters discussed above.

On March 30, 2005 the Company received notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market that the bid price of the Company’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for the stock’s continued listing under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Rule). Therefore, the Company has until September 26, 2005 to become compliant. If, at any time before September 26, 2005, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will comply with NASDAQ’s listing requirements. If not, NASDAQ will determine whether the Company meets NASDAQ SmallCap Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid requirement. If the Company meets the initial listing criteria, the Company will be granted an additional 180 day compliance period. If the Company is not eligible for an additional compliance period, the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company can appeal NASDAQ’s determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel

hoffentlich hast du nicht gekauft!

jethro & collegas

jetzt haben wir unseren GAU! dürfte nach der meldung heute zu einem blutbad kommen. könnte sogar ein atl ($ 0,19) werden

es scheint wohl, dass unser ceo auf dem "heissen stuhl" sitzt. wenn das audit comitee eine externe gesellschaft zur internen untersuchung gegen den ceo und dessen handlungen beauftragt, dann verheisst das nichts gutes. am 28.februar wurde alston&bird llp mit einer " internen untersuchung beauftragt und genau zu diesem zeitpunkt hören die grosskotzigen ankündigungen auf. was für`n zufall.

in jedem fall sollten der ceo und der coo zurück treten, dann gibt`s endlich ruhe.
