Infos zu dem Fa.zusammenschluß mit DOC:

November 9 th , 2001

On November 6 th , 2001 MAS executed a merger agreement with Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX) and Digital Angel Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of ADSX.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Digital Angel will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MAS and MAS will be renamed Digital Angel
Corporation. The merger is conditioned on approval by MAS stockholders and the satisfaction of other conditions set forth in the merger agreement. In
consideration of the merger, ADSX, Digital Angel’s parent corporation, will receive approximately 18.7 million shares of MAS common stock.

Until the merger is completed, MAS stock will continue to trade as AMEX: “DOC”. Upon the successful completion of the merger, MAS intends to
apply for a NASDAQ-National Market System listing. MAS intends to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as promptly
as possible and hopes that the merger will be completed in the first quarter of 2002, subject to stockholder approval.

Ronald Pickett, Chairman and President of Medical Advisory Systems stated: “For some time, MAS has been looking for the right strategic partner to
enhance our core business and deliver exceptional long term value to our stockholders. Digital Angel is that partner”.

Thomas M. Hall, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of MAS stated: “I am confident that by combining Digital Angel’s technology, products and experience
with our call center and Traveler’s Angel Protection Plan, we now have the critical mass, financial stability and depth of products and services to show
meaningful revenue growth, thus maximizing long term stockholder value.”

The combined company will have a strong pro-forma balance sheet reflecting stockholder’s equity in excess of $130 million with no long-term debt and
profitable twelve-month revenue projected at over $75 million. Randolph K. Geissler, CEO of Digital Angel Corporation, will assume the position of CEO
of the combined company.

The current MAS management staff will work in concert with the Digital Angel management team before and after the merger to insure a smooth
business transition so that MAS customers will continue to receive the same high quality service that they have in the past.

By combining Digital Angel’s exceptional technology and existing products with the MAS 24/7 physician-staffed call center, Travelers Angel,
(www.travelersangel.com) and traditional core business, the combined company will deliver the first ever combination of GPS, wireless and real-time
bio-feedback middleware, teamed with the only 24/7 physician staffed call center in North America for medical monitoring and assistance.

The MAS 24/7 physician-staffed call center will remain in Owings, Maryland. This real-time remote monitoring system utilizing advanced biosensor
capabilities will monitor key body functions, (such as temperature and pulse) and collect live data and compare the information to a history file for
accurate logistical and/or medical response to end-users worldwide.

Digital Angel Corporation is exploring a wide range of potential applications for Digital Angel, including: monitoring the location and medical condition
of at-risk patients; locating lost or missing individuals; including parolees, and household pets; managing livestock and other farm-related animals;
pinpointing the location of valuable stolen property; managing the commodity supply chain; preventing the unauthorized use of firearms; and
providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-commerce security. For more information on Digital Angel, visit www.digitalangel.net.

Advanced Power Solutions, Inc. and Front Edge Technology Enter Into Joint Venture to Develop Unprecedented Energy Source

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2001--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Power Solutions, Inc. (APSI), has entered into a joint-venture agreement with Front Edge Technology (FET).

Under the terms of the agreement, APSI and FET will jointly develop a first of its kind energy/battery source that combines APSI`s proprietary thermo-electric generator, Thermo Life, with FET`s proprietary thin-film battery technology, NanoEnergy(TM). NanoEnergy(TM) is the first thinner-than-paper and flexible rechargeable battery. Ultimately, it is anticipated that the two technologies will work in tandem to create, store and supply body-generated, thermo-electric energy. This power source may be used in a variety of medical devices, smart cards, and consumer devices including wristwatches.

Located in Baldwin Park, California, First Edge Technology was founded in 1994 by management with a combined 70 years of thin film technology experience. FET has been responsible for a number of "world`s first" power cells. FET was granted an $820,000 SBIR award from the U.S. Department of Energy for developing advanced thin film materials and processes.

Dr. Peter Zhou, Chief Scientist of Applied Digital Solutions, explained the technology solution presented through this joint venture: "One can view Thermo Life`s body-heat thermo-electric generator as creating a `river` of electricity, whose flow is contingent upon body heat. FET`s NanoEnergy(TM) can be viewed as a `reservoir` capable of storing energy that flows to it and releasing that energy in a specific capacity over an extended period. This combination of `river` and `reservoir` will create a tiny, reliable, and self-generating power source that does not require constant contact with the body and is void of toxic or hazardous materials."

Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, stated: "Through this joint venture, Thermo Life technology is well positioned to further our position as a premier advanced digital technology development company. The collaboration of R&D, marketing and licensing efforts will further widen the estimated $30 billion marketplace for Thermo Life. As the technology becomes commercially viable, we anticipate following the path set out by our business model to bring APSI to the public markets, further enhancing shareholder value in both indirect and direct participation in its success."

About Advanced Power Solutions Inc.


In November of 2001, Applied Digital Solutions created a wholly owned subsidiary called Advanced Power Solutions, Inc. (APSI). This new unit will further develop, market and license Thermo Life(TM), a proprietary, thermoelectric generator powered by body heat. Thermo Life is intended to provide a miniaturized power source for a wide range of consumer electronic devices, including attachable or implantable medical devices, wristwatches and other consumer devices. The Company estimates that the potential marketplace for Thermo Life exceeds $30 billion.

About Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.


Applied Digital Solutions is an advanced digital technology development company that focuses on a range of early warning alert, miniaturized power sources and security monitoring systems combined with the comprehensive data management services required to support them. Through its Advanced Wireless unit, the Company specializes in security-related data collection, value-added data intelligence and complex data delivery systems for a wide variety of end users including commercial operations, government agencies and consumers.

Ich denke, daß es diesmal genauso wird. Umsatz wird etwas gestiegen sein; der Verlust extremer.

Minizusammenfassung:


1. Revenue from Continuing Operations for the third quarter of 2001 was $41.4 million, an increase $0.4 million, or 1.0%, from $41.0 million in the third quarter of 2000. Revenue from Continuing Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $128.6 million, an increase of $31.0 million, or 31.8%, from $97.6 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2000.

"Nasdaq has temporarily suspended the minimum bid requirement until January 2, 2002."

Once the moratorium is lifted, if the Company is unable to satisfy this requirement, Nasdaq may begin procedures to remove the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq National Market. Should the Company receive notification from the staff of Nasdaq that its shares of common stock will be delisted, the Company has the right to appeal the staff’s decision.

Applied Digital Records 32% Year-To-Date Revenue Gain in 2001Company is "making solid progress" in cutting costs and executing its new business plan as an advanced digital technology development company


PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov 15, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced digital technology development company, today
announced that revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $128.6
million, an increase of 32% over the $97.5 million for the same period in 2000.

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, revenues increased to $41.4
million versus $41 million for the year-ago quarter and $39.9 million for the
three-month period ending June 30, 2001.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, Applied Digital Solutions reported a
pro forma net loss from continuing operations of $18.1 million or $0.09 per
share, compared with a pro forma loss from continuing operations of $1.5
million, or $0.02 per share, and $23.7 million or $0.17 per share for the
periods ending September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Pro Forma net
income or loss excludes asset impairments, goodwill amortization and
amortization of stock based compensation charges.

As previously announced in a Letter to Shareholders, the Company has taken a one
time third quarter charge of $84 million related to its restructuring as an
advanced digital technology development company. The majority of the charge
relates to a write-down of its IT infrastructure assets. As a result, on a GAAP
basis, the net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September
30, 2001, was $109.3 million or $0.56 cents per share, compared with a loss from
continuing operations of $3.2 million or $0.05 cents per share in the year ago
period.

"We have made solid progress in cutting costs and executing the business
strategy that we envisioned when the company purchased the patent that began the
development of our breakthrough Digital Angel technology," commented Richard J.
Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions. "The previously
announced merger of Digital Angel and Medical Advisory Systems will be the first
`value event` from this new strategy for Applied Digital and its shareholders.
We are looking forward to seizing our first-mover advantage when we launch
Digital Angel on November 26. In addition, we anticipate that other proprietary
technology currently under development, such as Thermo Life(TM), will create
comparable value in the months and years ahead."

Mr. Sullivan concluded: "Execution of our new business model, along with our
continuing reduction in operating expenses, already has begun to address our
liquidity and debt challenges. Continued execution of this model positions the
Company to return to positive cashflow in 2002 (exclusive of debt service), to
reduce our debt position, and to deliver value to our shareholders as a leading
advanced digital technology development company."

Buon Giorno

Die Entwicklung der letzten Tage ist wirklich recht erfreulich, leider muß ich für mich feststellen das ich mit der Votalität von unserem Baby nur schlecht klarkomme. Der neue Termin für das Nasdaq Delisting ist wohl der 2 Januar 2002. Kann das jemand bestätigen???
Wenn dem so ist streuben sich mir schon wieder die Nackenhaare.

[2000]

@Dackweiler

ADSX, sofern am 02.01 noch < 1 $, erhält dann von der Nasdaq erneut die Möglichkeit der Anhörung = 30 Tage, anschließend beginnt das Delisting Verfahren, nochmals 90 Tage.

FAZIT: DAS ADSX BID MUSS >= 1 $ sein, währen der 120 Tage, d.h. Delisting frühestens Anfang Mai (taggenau schwer vorhersehbar)

-ohne Gewähr-

Jedoch wird es meiner Meinung dazu niemals kommen, wisst Ihr noch letztes Jahr Oktober ? Vor der DA Präsi hat sich unser Kurs sehr gut entwickelt, so wird es diesen November auch sein, große Käufer sind bei 0,45 zu finden.

kurz nochmals mein Posting vom Oktober 01, trifft immer noch zu:

#5 von 2000 02.10.01 22:50:16 Beitrag Nr.: 4.551.277 Posting versenden 4551277 APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUT.

Hallo Freunde rund um ADSX,

melde mich nun nach einem erholsamen Urlaub zurück.
ADSX bzw. Sully hat ja mächtig Post in meinem Postkorb abgelegt - gar nicht so schlecht.

Was ich allerdings vermisse ist der IBM Deal, dann kann es erst richtig los gehen.

Doch fangen wir von vorne an:

Zuerst natürlich ein Rückblick auf die Ereignisse vom 11.09.2001. ADSX brach nach Handelseröffnung stark weg, vermutlich unter schwachen Umsätzen. Da frage ich mich manchmal ob die Anleger wissen, in was sie investieren.
Was wird wohl der Anschlag, so schlimm er auch war, wohl auf den DA bewirken. Ich höre von vielen Ami-Freunden, dass sie momentan alles kaufen was nach Sicherheit, Patriotismus richt. (Gasmasken, Waffen, Wappen...).

Das der DA auch in die Kategorie passen wird, bemerkten die Amis erst nach Sullys NY PR - typisch Sully, typisch Amis.

Ein weitere Nachricht für ADSX brachte die Nasdaq selbst raus. ADSX wird nun bis mind. Anfang Mai 2002 in der Nasdaq bleiben - sehr positiv für Investoren, negativ für Shorties und Basher.

Fassen wir mal zusammen:

Die Anschläge vom 11.09.2001 brachten für ADSX nur positive Aspekte (Achtung !: Ich verurteile die Anschläge, den verdammten ideologischen Faschismus auf das übelste - aber wir sind hier um über das Geschäft zu reden, für Trauer usw. ist das hier der falsche Ort)

- ADSX bleibt bis mind. Mai 02 in der Nasdaq
- ADSX wartete mit einer super Outperformance auf, Fantasie für den DA, gute PR (Sully sollte allerdings die Stimmung im eigenen Land nicht schamlos ausnutzen)

Dann noch ne News mit der Batterie - ok, dachte eigentlich sowas in der Art wäre schon lange auf dem Markt, bin kein Technik-Experte, dem Kurs hats geholfen.

Was ich jetzt dringend brauche sind:

-Abschluss IBM Deal
-Partner für DA Einführung Ende des Monats
-evtl. Ausblick auf positiven cash-flow im 4.Q
-evtl. neuer CEO in Verbindung mit JV

natürlich darf Sully auch noch die PR schwingen, die Amis stehen anscheinend drauf.

Ein kleineres Problem dürften evtl. steuerlich bedingte Verkäufe sein - beste Lösung: steigende Kurse.

Warten wir es ab, ich muss mir nochmals den Überblick verschaffen - bis dann.

Gruß an meine Mailpartner sowie die stillen Leser

...also ich weiß es auch nicht...


WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Applied Digital Solutions Inc.`s (ADSX, news, msgs) independent auditor revised its opinion on the company`s financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2000, and now expresses doubt about the company`s ability to continue as a going concern.


According to a Form 8-K filed late Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accountant cited defaults under the company`s financing agreement with IBM Credit Corp., a unit of International Business Machines Corp. (IBM, news, msgs).

As of Sept. 30, Applied Digital Solutions had a negative tangible net worth less than was allowed under the agreement; lower earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization than allowed; a current assets to current liabilities ratio below the minimum requirement; and a collateral shortfall, according to the filing.

In addition, the company didn`t make interest and principal payments required under the agreement, including a payment originally due July 1 that was deferred until Oct. 1.

As of Friday, the company hadn`t received any waivers for the defaults, the filing said. Although Applied Digital Solutions is in discussions to restructure its credit agreement, there can be no assurance that the discussions will be successful.

Applied Digital Solutions` failure to make interest and principal payments and non-compliance with the covenants constitutes separate defaults under the financing agreement and IBM Credit is entitled to accelerate the maturity of all amounts owed.

The company doesn`t have the available funds needed to repay IBM Credit if the obligations were accelerated, according to the filing.

If IBM Credit were to accelerate the obligations, Applied Digital Solutions has substantial doubt it would be able to continue its business operations.

Applied Digital Solutions, a communications technology company, has four business groups: communications, software and services, computer and specialty manufacturing.

Why would IBM advance cash, just to call loan 6 weeks later...
As soon as DOC deal closes, ADSX`s financila woes will be solved..
With ADSX doing DA/DOC Merger, deal is worth $150 Million(adsx is getting 18.2 million shares of DOC, which currently trading at $8.08 X 8.20)...If ADSX was to sell of 35% of stock made in deal, they could pay off IBM in full...
This is why I figure IBM is giving ADSX the time they need to get deal done.. Although, I doubt they will pay them off in full, I would be willing to bet that debt covenants will be met, post DA/DOC merger..

Commmon sense dictates..Why would IBM slit their own necks by getting pennies on the dollar, when they could get paid in full, as well as they get 1 Million shares of new company, per previous agreement (which would mean an additional $8 MILLION for them)!

[Wunram]

Hallo,

ganz verstehe ich die Meldung aber nicht:
wer verzichtet auf was und was wird korrigiert innerhalb des Finanzierungsabkommens mit IBM?

Ratlos Wunram

[erik der große]

Ich verstehe das so...

Gestern las ich, daß ADSX kein Geld hat um der "IBM" den Kredit zurückzuzahlen.
Scheinbar heben sie Aufschub bekommen, um alles zurückzuzahlen.

Oder? ...

Erik

[Wunram]

Erik,
wahrscheinlich hast Du recht.

Koorigier mich, aber ich habe die gestrige Meldung so verstanden:

die "unabhängigen Prüfer" haben ihre Bewertung des Finanzberichtes zum 31.12.2000 revidiert. Sie zweifeln die Möglichkeit des Weiterbestehens von ADSX auf Grund der finanziellen Verhältnisse an.

Im 8-k filing vom Freitag wurden Rückstände hinsichtlich des Kreditabkommens eingeräumt. Darüber hinaus waren Fundamentalwerte, nicht mit dem Kreditabkommen konform.

Zusätzlich wurde gemeldet, dass vertraglich bedingte Rückzahlungen und Zinsen die eigentlich zum Juli 2001 fällig gewesen wären, bis Oktober verschoben wurden.

Für diesen ganzen Kladeradatsch hatte ADSX als keine Verzichtserklärungen oder ähnliches seitens IBM Credit an der Hand.

Im Rahmen des Vertrages hätte IBM auf Grund der ganzen, oben genannten Verfehlungen jetzt die Möglichkeit die Rückzahlungsfristen zu verkürzen.

Und wenn dies tatsächlich geschehen sollte... aus die Maus

Mit der heutigen Meldung, ist also offensichtlich für den Zeitraum bis 4. Januar 2002 eine Verzichts- oder wahrscheinlicher eine aufschiebende Klausel mit IBM Credit vereinbart worden.


Ich hoffe wir haben recht mit dieser Interpretation

Sensors, GPS make watch a safety device

By Christine Winter
Business Writer
Posted November 22 2001

Digital Angel, a personal safety device that
combines medical biosensors, an emergency
alert and a locator chip in a standard
wristwatch and pager, will make its nationwide
debut in South Florida Monday through a series
of television ads.

In the initial rollout, the product, developed by
Palm Beach-based Digital Angel Corp., will be
available only from its Web site
(digitalangel.net) and a toll-free number
(877-432-6663). By the second quarter of
2002, it will be distributed through pharmacies
and electronics stores, said Keith Bolton, chief
technology officer for the company.

The first generation of the Digital Angel will include a body
temperature sensor in the watch, plus a chip linked to the Global
Positioning System, a satellite-based locator system built by the
Department of Defense, and an emergency alert in the pager.

Digital Angel also has a "fall down" alert that indicates that the wearer
is prone and a "wander alert" which can tell if the wearer strays
outside a predetermined geographic boundary.

The data is transmitted wirelessly to an operations center, which
contacts caregivers in case of an emergency. All the collected
information is stored in a database that can be accessed online in real
time by authorized subscribers.

Future versions of the product, scheduled to be released in 2002, will
include additional biomedical sensors aimed at monitoring pulse and
heart rates, blood sugar levels and blood/oxygen ratios.

Later models will also include a Thermo Life battery, based on a
proprietary technology that generates energy from body heat,
developed by a sister company, Advanced Power Solutions Inc., in
Palm Beach. Early models will have a rechargeable battery, but can be
fitted with the Thermo Life when it becomes available in 2002.

The product is aimed at seniors with chronic medical conditions,
Alzheimer`s patients, children and even pets with a tendency to
wander.

There have been "hundreds" of preregistration orders for the Digital
Angel, according to Bolton, who said the numbers leapt by 35 percent
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The combination watch and pager unit will cost $299. The monthly
monitoring fee will range from $23.95 to $53.95, depending on the
service.

Digital Angel and Advanced Power Solutions are subsidiaries of Palm
Beach-based Applied Digital Solutions. Advanced Digital recently
announced that Digital Angel would merge with publicly traded Medical
Advisory Systems, an Owings, Md.-based medical call center, and
immediately seek a Nasdaq listing.

The struggling parent company, which is staking its future on both the
personal safety device and the new battery technology, will own 82
percent of the merged Digital Angel Corp.

A `Digital Angel` for Troubling
Times
By Karen E. Peterson
10Meters.com

Before Sept. 11, Digital Angel was simply an
up-and-coming company with an honorable mission:
creating cutting-edge location-technology products
to help parents and caregivers keep track of both
the whereabouts and basic well-being of loved
ones.

The St. Paul, Minnesota-based company, wholly
owned by Applied Digital Solutions, was already
accepting orders for the release of its
first-generation Global Positioning System (GPS)
devices – a pager and two wristwatch models, one
for children, one for adults.

Using satellite GPS and mobile
communications in combination with
the company`s breakthrough
biometric technology, Digital Angel`s
devices were originally designed to
help keep tabs on "wanderers," such
as children and Alzheimer`s patients.
The devices monitor body
temperature and pulse rate, and
they can be equipped with sensors
that can determine if the wearer has
fallen, both important concerns among those who
care for the elderly.



The company also suggested that its products could
be used to keep track of pets or livestock and for a
host of commercial applications, from tracking
endangered species to monitoring nuclear waste.

New Level of Awareness

After September 11, Digital Angel found that what it
was aiming to do had another application of more
tragic significance.

"We wanted to provide hope to those who need it,
something good that could be used for happy
endings. We saw our products as tools for bringing
peace of mind," said Digital Angel`s Chief Technology
Officer Keith Bolton. "Within the organization, we
believed our [product] had a place in society and a
need to be filled.

"Today there is a whole other level of awareness,"
Bolton said.

The awareness Bolton is speaking of
is the unsettling new reality that
people can get lost for reasons
frightening beyond what was once
considered the normal threats to
personal safety.



The devices, scheduled to ship in
early November, were "discovered"
shortly after Sept. 11 by an anxious
public. Bolton said the callers
wondered if the Digital Angel products could be used
for more than wanderers.

Also of interest: the sophisticated technology the
devices bring to location services. Digital Angel`s
products are able to read and return data from the
interior of buildings.

According to Digital Angel, their products and
accompanying delivery system can hone in on the
floor and the location of the device-wearer. Bolton
says locations can be pinpointed within a range of
"five to 10 feet."

An Electronic Guardian Angel

Digital Angel was founded in 2000 by ADSX Chairman
and CEO Richard J. Sullivan, who had lost a brother
to walking pneumonia. A patent he acquired in 1999
formed the basis for the vital-sign monitoring
capabilities Digital Angel devices provide – an
application that could have saved his brother`s life,
Bolton said.

Next, ADSX bought Destron Fearing Corporation, an
animal-identification company. In business since
1945, Destron Fearing owns patents worldwide in
microchip technology and helped pioneer the use of
radio frequency technology for animal location.

The result of the two
moves, and the
research that followed,
produced what Digital
Angel claims is a
first-ever combination
of "advanced sensor
technology" that can
communicate biological
and location data in
real time using satellite
GPS technology and
Internet-integrated
ground stations.



The Internet link means caregivers can view the
data on any Web-enabled desktop, laptop or
wireless device. The password-protected Digital
Angel site provides the vital-sign data; location
information is cross-referenced, and viewable, via
the Digital Angel mapping engine.

Nothing is needed to "attach" the devices to the
skin; the sensors react to the infrared radiation
naturally emitted from the body. For now, Digital
Angel devices can read and return data on body
temperature and pulse rate. Next-generation models
will provide EEG and EKG, as well as glucose
monitoring – "all vital data needed to monitor the
condition of at-risk patients," the company notes.

The devices also come with a 911 button that
sends a distress alert to the Digital Angel Call
Center. And a "fall down" sensor lets caregivers or
medical personnel know whether the wearer is
moving from a sitting to an upright position or has
taken a sudden fall, said Bolton.

`Everything Has Changed`

As interest swelled, Digital Angel found itself in need
of more devices than originally scheduled for
distribution and has "accelerated the pace" of its
manufacturing process, Bolton said.

Pharmaceutical partners and retailers are handling
sales, and devices can be purchased on the Web at
www.digitalangel.net.

"Everything has changed since Sept. 11," said
Bolton. What hasn`t changed, he added, is the
Digital Angel mission to save lives.

Applied Digital Solutions Amends IBM Credit Pact

PALM BEACH, Fla. -(Dow Jones)- Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (ADSX) executed a formal waiver and amendment to its credit agreement with senior lender IBM Credit Corp.
Applied Digital said in a press release Tuesday all interest and principal payments due through Jan. 4, 2002, were included in the terms of the waiver.

On Monday, the digital technology developer`s independent auditor revised its opinion on Applied Digital`s financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2000, and expressed doubt about the company`s ability to continue as a going concern. The accountant cited defaults under the company`s financing agreement with IBM Credit Corp., a unit of International Business Machines Corp. (IBM).

Press Release

SOURCE: Applied Digital Solutions

Digital Angel Begins First Phase of National Product Launch

Targeted rollout program includes an array of Digital Angel products for seniors and children, an updated website and order
registration system, advertising program and product delivery schedule

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2001-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - news) today released details of its
much-anticipated rollout plan for Digital Angel(TM), the first-ever combination of advanced biosensor technology and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications
linked to Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

As previously announced, the rollout program - which began on November 26th - will enable the company to leverage its first-mover advantage in what is estimated
to be a $70 billion Personal Safeguard Technology marketplace.

The comprehensive Digital Angel rollout program includes the following elements:

-- Delivery of Digital Angel units, for certain target
demographics. This program, which commenced as planned on
November 26, 2001, involves a systematic product
customization and assessment effort designed to ensure all
Digital Angel products and data delivery requirements are
responsive to each customer`s parameters.

products out to customers as quickly as we possibly can. But we also want to make sure we do this right. We want to make sure our first Digital Angel customers
are not only satisfied with the product, but absolutely thrilled with it. That means we need to put an emphasis on customer service and customizing the product to
meet each customer`s specific needs. This rollout plan is comprehensive, including advertising and a new product registration program, but it`s also targeted in scope
so we can manage the process and assess what works and what doesn`t as we go along. We`re taking this a step at a time, beginning in South Florida - which has
great demographics for us - and then expanding to other markets in the coming months.``

Digital Angel Takes Flight

Nov 30, 2001 (NewsFactor.com via COMTEX) -- Applied Digital Solutions (Nasdaq: ADSX) has rolled out a line of wearable wireless safety
devices, under the trademark "Digital Angel," that combine cutting-edge biosensor technology and GPS (global positioning system) mobile
communications.

The company estimates that personal safeguard technology will eventually grow to a US$70 billion market. In light of the recent terrorist
attacks and Anthrax scares, which have resulted in widespread concerns about personal safety, that estimate may not be out of line.

Providing Location and Health Data

Marketing efforts for Digital Angel products initially will focus on the old and the young, Applied Digital Solutions said. The devices -- some as
small as a watch -- can monitor key body functions, such as temperature and pulse, and transmit that data, along with location-sensitive
information, to a ground station or monitoring facility.

Prospective applications include monitoring the location and medical condition of at-risk patients, such as those with Alzheimer`s Disease;
locating lost or missing persons or pets; tracking parolees; and providing a tamper-proof method of identification for e-commerce security that
pinpoints lost or stolen property, the company said.

On Your Wrist

Outlining the company`s plans for Digital Angel, Applied Digital Solutions chairman and CEO Richard Sullivan, said, "We want to get our
products out to customers as quickly as we possibly can. But we also want to put an emphasis on customer service and customizing the
product to meet each customer`s specific needs."

The first generation of Digital Angel products will take the form of a watch, which runs on a standard watch battery, and a pager-size device
with a rechargeable battery. In addition to pinpointing the person`s location and providing health-related data, the Digital Angel system has an
emergency 911 alert button on the wristwatch and can include a "sudden fall" sensor for elderly users by incorporating inertia technology, the
company said.

Medical Merger

The devices can transmit wireless data via CDPD (cellular digital packet data) and CDMA (code division multiple access) networks, the
company said. Digital Solutions recently unveiled a small power-generating device that converts body heat into electricity and will be applied to
the Digital Angel product line as a battery replacement.

Digital Solutions also announced that a merger is in the works between Digital Angel and Medical Advisory Systems , a global telemedicine
firm that operates a 24/7, physician-staffed call center in Owings, Maryland.

sieht zwar alles ein wenig 3 klassig aus aber immerhin ist Bewegung drin. Kann mich noch gut an Abgabetermine für Baustellen erinnern die ich nicht immer einhalten konnte. So mancher Bauherr hätte mir das Genick brechen können ist aber nie passiert. Bin daher ziemlich optimistisch was den weitern Verlauf anbelangt.Die Richtung stimmt. Der Vergleich mit Met@box ist wohl etwas weit hergeholt immerhin hat ads weit mehr als 1000 Mitarbeiter was ein ziemlich großer Sack an Verantwortung ist. Sully müßte etwas mehr Fingerspitzen Gefühl mit dem Umgang seiner Shareholder entwickenl. Aber der wird sicherlich den Kopf voll haben und der Markt ist alles andere als wiklich optimistisch eingestellt. No News are bad news.

Wie oft hieß es schon in einer Woche werden wir schlauer sein,ich glaube der Zug ist am rollen und wir gehen deutlich besseren Zeiten entgegen.

Applied Digital Solutions is launching a new line
of products under the "Digital Angel" name that
allow the monitoring of a person’s whereabouts
and vital statistics.

Watches that
can watch you

Devices keep finger on
wearer’s pulse, place




Dec. 4 — It sees you when you’re sleeping and
when you’re awake — and it can keep track of
your heart rate, body temperature and geographic
location. No word yet on whether that means it
knows if you’ve been bad or good.

APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS is launching a new
line of products under the “Digital Angel” name that allow
the monitoring of a person’s whereabouts and vital statistics.
The company began testing the devices last month and is
launching a national campaign in southern Florida.

The devices will
cost around $299 each,
with monthly services
fees of between $30 to
$40, according to the
South Saint Paul, Minn.,
company.
The Digital Angel
products combine biosensors — to track data such as heart
rate, blood oxygen levels and body temperature — with a
global positioning system tracker. They’re available in watch
and pager designs.
Advertisement







Although the devices may evoke images of George
Orwell’s Big Brother, the company says the products could
be used to keep track of pets, small children or adults with
health concerns such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The Digital Angel devices also include alert buttons that
can summon caregivers and emergency personnel. One of
the devices aimed at the senior market includes a “sudden
fall sensor,” which uses inertial data to monitor whether
someone has fallen down.
Future products will be able to monitor blood
chemistry, blood pressure and other indicators of health, the
company said.

Hallo Zusammen,

melde mich nach längerer Pause endlich auch mal wieder. Wenn hauptsächlich Erik nicht die Initiative gezeigt hätte, wäre es hier ziemlich still geworden. Viel Zeit ist auch vergangen und es ist sicherlich viel passiert um unser Baby. Aber so richtig steigen will es auch nicht. Fassen wir mal zusammen, so wie ich die Lage gerade sehe.

Der DA wird seit dem 26. November ausgeliefert. Alle hatten sicherlich hier mit einer Pressemitteilung gerechnet, wie hoch die Vorbestellungen über das Internet waren. Denke, dass dies aus taktischer Hinsicht noch „geheim“ gehalten wird. Ich hoffe doch aus positiven Gründen. Die Webseite wurde mit der neuen Uhr bzw. Pager geschmückt, wobei man hier über Geschmack streiten könnte. Aber egal, es zeigt zumindest, dass Leben in der ganzen Sache drin steckt. Anders als die ebenfalls meines erachtens als Fake Meldung und kurstützende Nachricht entpupte Erstbelieferung eines namhaften Uhrenherstellers, der nicht erkannt werden möchte, mit der „Batterie“ – tztztztz Sully. O.k., er probiert den Kurs zu stützen wo es nur geht. Übel kann man ihm es ja eigentlich nicht nehmen.

Die letzten Tage haben es gezeigt, dass trotz des aufhorchen der Presse (man bedenke wie viele Meldungen es in den letzten Tagen zum DA gab!!!), der Kurs sich nicht nach oben bewegt. Das hat meiner Meinung nach mind. 3 Gründe.

1.) Es wird abgewartet, wie die nächsten Zahlen ausfallen werden. Spätestens ab diesem Zeitpunkt, sofern dies nicht unserer ADSX die Füße unter dem Boden wegzieht, wird dieser Punkt m.E. in den Hintergrund fallen, da dann mit steigenden Umsatz aus dem Verkaufs des DA’s und somit hoffentlich positiven Cash Flow zu rechnen ist.

2.) Die IBM „Geschichte“ noch offen ist – bzw. die grundsätzliche weitere Finanzierung in der jetzigen Situation.

3.) Aber sicherlich auch absolut wichtig: Wie viele haben denn jetzt wirklich schon einen DA übers Netz bestellt? Sollten hier tolle (wahre) Zahlen genannt werden, dann geht’s richtig schnell nach oben. Jedoch ebenfalls nur, wenn die Vorfinanzierung der Produktion irgendwie gesichert ist.

Das Delisting-Thema, wird ja dann quasi ab Januar wieder aktuell. Schlussendlich ist Sully’s Lohn das Aktienpaket. Und er wird meines erachtens alles tun, dass er das auch mal in $$$ „umtauschen“ kann.

Vom Chart her müssen die 40 Cent halten, sonst geht es auf die 30 runter, sofern keine Meldung kommt. Heute sind wir mehrmals unter den 40 gewesen. Nicht garvierend, aber für die nächsten Tage verheißt das nichts Gutes.

Es bleibt also Spannend. Hoffe mal mit diesem Beitrag wieder mehr Leben eingehaucht zu haben.

Gruß an alle, geh jetzt ins Bett

Digital Angel Corporation Chooses eXI Wireless as Its First North American Distributor of Digital Angel Products eXI to leverage experience and market share in patient monitoring for Digital Angel products


PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec 6, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX) an advanced digital technology development company,
announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Angel, has chosen eXI
Wireless (CDNX: EXI) of Richmond, British Columbia, as its first North American
distributor for Digital Angel products.

eXI Wireless is a global leader in the research, development, and marketing of
wireless communications and connectivity solutions for business and personal
convenience. eXI has a well-established foothold in supplying patient monitoring
for healthcare facilities through its Halo Infant Protection System(TM) and the
RoamAlert Patient Protection System(TM). These products and solutions are
distributed worldwide in maternity and extended care facilities.

Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, commenting
on the development: "With strong ties and existing relationships with healthcare
facilities, eXI Wireless and its distribution network is an integral part of the
Digital Angel product launch cycle that began November 26th. Since 1980, eXI has
provided safety and security to healthcare facilities worldwide through products
and wireless solutions that prevent infant abductions and patient wanderings.
eXI`s active tag patient monitoring technology is based on a radio link that
offers fast and reliable transmissions of data within an indoor local area.
Digital Angel will allow eXI and its customers to offer outside wide area
patient monitoring with the same degree of reliability."

Bluetooth(TM) Special Interest Group, eXI is driving not only the development of
the new global standard in wireless technology, but also the development of

excited to be named the first North American distributor of Digital Angel

solutions over both local and wide area networks. As a distributor for Digital
Angel products, eXI will be the first in our industry to provide complementary
local area, wide area, and Bluetooth(TM) capabilities."

Hallo zusammen,

ich finde die Lage um ADSX ist besser als der Kurs es erahnen lässt.

2002 werden wir wohl jeden Menge ernten müssen, folgende Gründe sprechen meiner Meinung nach eindeutig dafür:

1. derzeitiges geringes Volumen:

Große Investoren werden jetzt in der zweiten Dezemberwoche ADSX nicht mehr kaufen, ein Ausweis soll auf jeden Fall vermieden werden. Das geringe Volumen und die hohe Vola deuten auf kleinere Verkäufe hin --> steuerbedingte Verkäufe

2. Der DA wird seine ganze Kraft entfalten können, evtl. werden wir alle durch einen spinn off (steuerlich für uns negativ) direkte Teilhaber, desweiteren werden neue Kooperationen bekannt gegeben...

3. Nasdaq Listing wohl gesichert, wie schon mehrfach erwähnt hat ADSX bis ca. April Zeit über BID 1 $ zu kommen, das sollten icht so schwer sein

4. Die Börsenlage bessert sich mitsamt der Konjunktur, ADSX wird davon profitieren...

5. Die fundamentale Bewertung

Sully hat einiges richtig gemacht, er hat drastische Kostensenkungen durchgesetzt + alle möglichen negativen Faktoren ins 3. Q gepackt --> das 4. sollte deutlich besser laufen, ich rechne nächstes Jahr mit der Profitabilität...

6. Die Sache um die Batterie

Vielleicht entwickelt sich ja noch etwas Fantasie, wer weiss, wozu das Ding so alles gut ist.

Was brauchen wir ?

Klärung der Verbindlichkeiten, bspw. IBM...
Neuer CEO
2002

ADSX kann sich im Januar sehr schnell versechsfachen, die Chance ist deutlich höher als nochmals Kurse um die 0,18 $. Lasst euch nicht von der Vola derzeit blenden...

Gruß und einen schönen Nikolaus-Tag noch

"...Palm Beach-based Applied Digital Solutions has started marketing Digital Angel, its wireless personal monitoring device that combines three

Digital Angel combines a watch-like device with a transmitter about the size of a pager that`s worn on a belt. Using GPS, biosensors and
wireless communications, it tracks the users and monitors healthcare needs, such as an elderly patient with a heart condition.

The unit transmits information wirelessly to a central command post that can alert family, doctors or emergency medical personnel when
needed.

Finally, putting Digital Angel on the market has given voice to some critics who see a shade of Orwell`s Big Brother made real. Digital Angel
can be reduced to a chip that`s implanted in a pet that tends to stray.

However, company officials prefer to dwell on the positive side of monitoring, such as a senior with dementia or a sick patient.

The company is selling Digital Angel via its website, www.digitalangel.net. The Digital Angel system sells for $299 plus $29.95 for the monthly
monitoring service.

Applied Digital also selected eXI Wireless, a British Columbia company that specializes in developing and marketing wireless solutions, as its

Eye In The Sky Will Track California Parolees

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, Dec 10, 2001 (Newsbytes via COMTEX) -- The California Corrections Department is developing a program to
track parolees via the Global Positioning System.

The department signed an agreement last month with Digital Angel Corp., a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions Inc. of Palm Beach, Fla.
The Riverside, Calif., subsidiary makes devices for monitoring an individual`s whereabouts and vital statistics.

The program will track a few hundred high-risk sex offenders, said Russ Heimerich, a corrections spokesman. "These are the people we`re
most concerned about keeping away from schools and other areas," he said.

The program is still in early development, Heimerich said, and "will have to be developed. It`s not like there`s an off-the-shelf product available."

The wearable monitoring device will tell corrections officials where parolees have been and when. Amro Albanna, president of Digital Angel`s
Riverside division, said the device is smaller than a pack of cigarettes.

It transmits wireless alerts to Palm OS units, e-mail systems, browsers and pagers via the Digital Angel operations center, then over TCP/IP or
frame relay lines, he said.

Hallo Zusammen,

zwei Info`s bzw. Links für Euch:

http://www.adsx.com/

Hier seht Ihr, dass bei dem 4 Chip jetzt neuerdings ein "?" steht. Bin mal gespannt, was da dahintersteckt.

Weiterhin aus dem Yahoo-Board folgenden Link zu einem Interwiev von Sully am 06.12.01

Just listened to it.

Important things I noticed:

Merger proxy to be filed next week
DA future: HEAVY in the medical field
PAINMANAGEMENT (huge field) i.e. DA device to manage an implanted pump to
release the pain medication!!
Customers NO problem!
He said they made a 2 min. and a 30 min. movie(seems to be long maybe he
meant 30 sec. - or will this be a sitcom? LOL). Starts mid December on major
TV channels in Florida. Time: between 5 and 7 pm and 11 pm !!
There will be strategic partnership as well as licensing the DA
technology!!!
Harvard Business School case study about marketing DA

PAYDOWN DEBT THIS YEAR !!! (Tells me that subsidiaries ARE sold!)
Goal for 2002 ff paydown and extinguish debt!
Adding substantial value to shareholders after 2 rough years.

Listen for yourself!

hier der Link

http://ceocast.com/index.cfm

Sollte sich jeder investierte mal anhören, da es m.E. echt vroangeht.

Zum Thema "subsidiadies sold" hab ich auch schon mal gelesen, dass der Softwarebereich von ADSX irgendwie mit der IBM Sache zusammenhängt. So als Art Tauschgeschäft oder Entgegenkommen, dass IBM so lange hinhält und das Geld ncoh fließt. Bin mir aber nicht mehr 100% sicher. Vielleicht hat jemand auch mal was in dieser Richtung mitbekommen bzw. gelesen. Klingt aber meines erachtens logisch - was will ADSX noch mit solch einem Bereich?!

Meinungen? @Erik? @2000 oder @alle?

Auf jeden Fall hält sie sich heute erstaunlich gut.

Hallo Endorphin, Erik sowie alle weiteren Interessierten,

das derzeitige Volumen zeigt immer deutlicher was los ist...es findet nur ein Tausch von uns Kleinanlegern statt...kein Fondsmanager/größerer Investor (d.h. Positionen > 1 Mio $) werden jetzt ADSX kaufen. Diese Leute haben jetzt ganz andere Probleme.

Deswegen werden wohl die ersten Tage im Januar ein erhöhtes Volumen mitsichbringen, wäre ich noch nicht investiert würde ich ein Limit um die 0,38-0,39 $ legen.

Die Aussichten waren und können eigentlich nicht besser sein, Sully ist derzeit ruhig, wohl auch in Hinblick auf den Januar, der DA läuft pressemässig wie geschmiert...dann bald die Werbung...das ganze wird sich für uns auszahlen. Fundamental sollte auch nichts mehr anbrennen können. ADSX hat alles negative eingepreist, irgendwann wird der große Schub kommen, dann gilt es weiterhin Ruhe zu bewahren.

@Endorphin

Deine Frage bez. des ? ist berechtigt, vielleicht kommt demnächst ein neues innovatives Produkt oder...

mal überlegen, zuerst war ADSX, dann kam der DA, die ThermoBatterie ... was fehlt könnte die Verknüpfung von beidem sein, damit meine ich einen UMTS gestützten allumfassenden mobilen Service. Vielleicht ist es auch nur ein Zeichen für eine Sully`sche PR Aktion

zu IBM;

die Sache kann nicht brennzlig sein, erstens wäre der Kurs dann tiefer und zweitens gäbe es nicht nur Management Käufe ! Vielleicht gibt es ja eine Umschuldung, vom FK ins EK, d.h. Zurückzahlung von Krediten mit Aktien oder einer Optionsanleihe. Eine Lösung sollte ja bis Ende 01 erfolgen, d.h. diese oder nächste Woche (nach Weihnachten sind eh alle skifahren in Aspen) mal sehen on und was noch passiert.

Da fällt mir ein, dass ich Jackson schon lange nichts mehr geschrieben habe...das ist doch eine schöne Frage für Ihn. Sobald ich eine Antwort erhalten habe, werde ich sie hier posten.

bis bald, 2000

Hallo adsxler

das habe ich soeben im yahoo-board gefunden:


by: cmp115c9921 (38/M/N.Y.C.)
Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy 12/12/01 08:42 am
Msg: 187830 of 187830

I emailed Robert Jackson and asked about delisting. Here is his response:


De-listing has become far less of an issue as a result of the Nasdaq ruling that it will give all companies a fresh "clock" commencing the first of the year. This is a result of the fact that many of the Nasdaq 100 are currently trading below $1.00. As a result, if we trade below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we will get a non-compliance letter. We will then have 90 calendar days to get back into compliance. Combined, that pushes the date of possible de-listing until some time in May.

This may well be a moot point, however. The stock currently reflects the ambiguity of an outcome with IBM. If we are successful in renegotiating the Notes with IBM prior to year end as we anticipate, it is likely that we will no longer be in violation of the Nasdaq minimum bid rules.

Medical Advisory Seeks To Issue New Shares For Deal

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Medical Advisory Systems Inc. (DOC) will ask shareholders to approve boosting its authorized
common stock by 85 million shares at a special meeting regarding the company`s proposed merger wit Applied Digital Solutions Inc.
(ADSX) and its Digital Angel Corp. unit.

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Friday, each share of Digital Angel would be exchanged for 0.9375
shares of Medical Advisory. Medical Advisory had about 5.2 million shares outstanding at Sept. 30, and needs additional shares to
complete the transaction.

If the deal goes through, Applied Digital would own about 82.1% of Medical Advisory common stock and Medical Advisory would
change its name to Digital Angel.

Hallo zusammen,

das Filing ist schon ein paar Tage bekannt. Wie Ihr wisst bezieht Sully sein Gehalt in Aktien, d.h. er braucht eben auch mal Kohle...

Diese Woche könnte sich das nachfassen nochmals lohnen,

Nächste Woche oder in der ersten Woche 02 soll lt. Gerüchten eine Einigung mit IBM bekannt gegeben werden, was dann passiert ist klar.

@2000 ....na eben mal Kohle 89.481$ oder (sollte an dem Gerücht was dran sein mit IBM) 89.481$ multiplziert mit dem Faktor X ist aber nochmnals ein Unterschied. Ich werte das leider negativ.

Oder er sagt sich, ADSX wird sich so vervielfachen, da kommt es auf ein paar Millionen nicht an. Schließlich kam ja der neue 500SL raus. Könnte passen ;-)

Wir werden sehen

Hallo 2000 (ach war das ein schönes börsenjahr ;-) )

war die PR vom 17.12.2001 nicht die Einigung mit IBM ??....oder ist mein Englich einfach zu schlecht !!!

Was passiert Deiner Meinung nach denn jetzt ??

Versteh mich nicht falsch ! Bin seit 2 Jahren in adsx und hoffe einfach mal wieder kurse von zumindest 1$ zu sehen !!

Allen ADSX´lern wünsche ich schon mal schöne und v.a. besinnliche Weihnachtsfeiertage !!

Gruss
Gurki :O

[money_2000]

@ alle!

War das alles? Die (existentiell notwendige) Einigung hat nicht einmal für den Ausgleich des Wochenverlustes ausgereicht!?

Dann sehe ich allerdings ziemlich schwarz für den Kurs!

Oder habe ich die Meldung falsch verstanden?

Gruß von einem enttäuschten

alle

es war nicht die langehrsehnte Einigung...muss sie selbst noch mal raussuchen...

In der Zwischenzeit, ohne Gewähr, aus dem RB von User Wallstreetguys:

"13 Dec 2001, 11:01 AM EST

"Good morning.

In light of a lack of hard news to report, I thought I would take an opportunity to provide an update on recent events and to comment publicly on a few items on importance.

First and foremost, restructuring with our senoir secured creditor. As previously announced, we have been granted a waiver and ammendment to the terms of the Notes. Although the additional time was only 40 days or so, it provides time to work towards restructuring of the Notes. Because of the delicate nature of the discussions, I cannot comment on this issue beyond that.

The Digital Angel launch cycle began, as planned, on November 26th. We have been recieving orders generated through print advetising and word of mouth over the internet and through a call center. Television adsvertising in the South Florida market will begin shortly. I will try to post a schedule of the air times and channels either here on on the website. I anticipate that we will release preliminary order numbers sometime in January.

The "?" on the website is a placeholder for a product that will be announced at the appropriate time.

Lastly, Richard Sullivan`s recent filing for the sale of shares is consisent with similar filings at the end of each year. While I am not his accountant and cannot comment as to why he makes a sale at the end of each year, I would like to remind everybody that he agreed in July to receieve shares in lieu of cash compensation. He owns or controls some 12 million shares at this time and is certainly the first to be concerned with shareholder value.

In short, we are agressively pursuing our new business model while simultaneously addressing, in an equally aggressive manner, those issues that require resolution.

With that, I will open up the floor for your questions. As we haven`t done this for a while, let me please remind you that I will not/cannot comment of certain items. Please be respectful of that as i try my best to answer your questions.

Q.ADSX_IR:
Will there be additional Distribution agreements here in the U.S. for Digital Angel

A.We tapped into eXI because of their penetration of the heathcare facility segment. Additional ditribution agreements will be selected on an equally market-targeted basis.

Q.ADSX_IR: DOC and DA?
When will the proxy be released on the planned merger?
Is there anything that would delay this timeframe?
Thanks inadvance for the info.

A.The DOC/DA merger is still contingent upon approval from our senoir secured creditor. While we are still looking for a 1qtr close, that timing is subject to items beyond our direct control. The proxy, however, is currently being prepared.

Q.ADSX_IR:
Now that the Proxy is almost ready for filing. Are ADSX shareholders going to get any shares in the new comapny, and what method will be used. i.e. warrants.

A.The specific mechanism is still a subject of discussion. As the proxy is for MAS shareholders, it is unlikely that it contain any information in that regard.

Q. TO ADSX_IR
There is conflicting information coming from various sources within ADSX as to what type of location technology will be used for the DA to "assist" GPS. Will it/is it using a "wireless assisted" WAG system of triangulation of cell phone tower signals to overcome the inability of GPS to function well indoors? Or is the DA using only a GPS chip with computer enhancement only? LET"S BE OPEN AND HONEST HERE WITH NO CLAIMS OF "NOT IN THE PUBLIC REALM".

A.DA will be using various methods of assisted GPS including software, hardware and triangulation methods. "

Jackson war mal wieder bei RB, nichts neues bis auf:

- Klärung des "?" auf der HP
- Sell Gründe von Sullivan, entweder Steuer oder Lebensführung


ich such noch kurz die IBM Meldung...

[2000]

ok...

die Meldung sagt eigentlich nur aus, dass IBM die Sache prüft (Fusion DOC und DA) und letztlich die Shareholder von DOC und IBM das JA geben müssen - nicht mehr und nicht weniger...

Meine Meinung:

ADSX verhandelt derzeit starkt mit IBM, dies war sozusagen eine Art "Zwischenmeldung", geschickt plaziert um dem Kurs zu helfen = Rakete in Startposition

IBM sagt zu ADSX nicht Nein, ein endgültiges JA wird noch kommen müssen...dann kann Gurki und Money auch wieder Gurkensalat essen gehen...

Ich hoffe nur, dass eine Einigung erst am 02.01.02 bekanntgegeben wird, dann kann man frisch aufspielen...

Wahrscheinlich wird noch dieses Jahr ne Meldung kommen, dass man kurz vor einer Einighung steht = Zündschnur wird überprüft

2002 = Ein Funken (Einigung mit IBM) wird das Ding starten...

Na ja, vielleicht auch doch anders

bis bald
2000

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2001--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX, news, msgs), an advanced digital technology development company, announced today that it has developed a miniaturized, implantable identification chip -- called VeriChip(TM) -- that can be used in a variety of medical, security and emergency applications.
How VeriChip Works

VeriChip is an implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device about the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. Each VeriChip will contain a unique identification number and other critical data. Utilizing an external scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the identification number and other data contained in the VeriChip. The scanner will display the identification number, but the VeriChip data can also be transmitted, via telephone or the Internet, to an FDA compliant, secure data-storage site. It will then be accessible by authorized personnel. Inserting the VeriChip device is a simple procedure performed in an outpatient, office setting. It requires only local anesthesia, a tiny incision and perhaps a small adhesive bandage. Sutures are not necessary.

das ? hat sich wohl geklärt...

aber warum in 2001 ? Vielleicht will IBM einen Kurs von 0,5 sehen...

THE WASHINGTON POST: NEXT: AN ID CHIP PLANTED IN YOUR BODY?

Dec 19, 2001, (The Washington Post /FT Information via COMTEX) -- Applied Digital Solutions has developed a very small computer chip that
can automatically send personal information to a scanner. The new chip, which is similar to ones implanted in pets recently to track them, has
been embedded under the skin of a New Jersey surgeon, who wishes to remain unnamed, since September. The Palm Beach, Florida-based
firm is hoping to sell the chip to patients with pacemakers, artificial hips and other implanted devices.

A Chip ID That`s Only Skin-Deep
Biotech: Firm plans to sell implantable devices that can store a variety of data about you.




By DAVID STREITFELD, TIMES STAFF WRITER


A Florida company is poised to become the first to sell microchips designed to be implanted into human beings, an
achievement that opens the door to new systems of medical monitoring and ID screening.

Implantable chips have long been discussed by technologists and denounced by those who object on religious
grounds or fear their use by a totalitarian state. But the company that did the test, Applied Digital Solutions of Palm
Beach, said the specter of terrorism is shifting attitudes. The direct union of man and computer is no longer dismissed
out of hand.

"The bottom line is, when people are trying to regain their peace of mind, they`re more open to new approaches,"
said Keith Bolton, Applied Digital`s chief technology officer. Applied Digital, which had revenue of $165 million last
year, has made its mark by selling electronic chips that help farmers keep tabs on the health and safety of their
cows and other livestock. The company also makes a monitoring bracelet for Alzheimer patients, so that families can
use global positioning satellite systems to help find loved ones who might have wandered off.

Now the company sees a market among those who have artificial organs and limbs. These folks will have up to 60
words of relevant medical information implanted on chips. If the patients are brought unconscious into an emergency
room, technicians equipped with special scanners will easily decipher the body`s internal topography.

The chips would need approval from the Food and Drug Administration, which Applied Digital said it expects to receive
by midyear. The company said it already has secured permission from the Federal Communications
Commission--necessary because the chips use radio frequencies.

Regulatory approval is not necessary overseas, however. Applied Digital expects to be selling chips in South America
in about 90 days. One potential market is kidnap targets, who could use these chips in combination with global
positioning devices.

Other potential applications would put the chips in the role of an ultimate ID, capable of performing many of the roles
that are performed by keys and ATM cards.

"I`d be shocked if within 10 years you couldn`t get a chip implanted that would unlock your house, start your car and
give you money," said Chris Hables Gray, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Great Falls
in Montana and author of "The Cyborg Citizen."

English cyberneticist Kevin Warwick won considerable notoriety three years ago by implanting an electronic
transmitter above his left elbow. The implant opened doors and switched on lights at his British University of Reading
offices. He now is working on experiments in which his nervous system is linked with a computer.

If Warwick is the equivalent of the mad genius who injects himself with a new vaccine to see whether it works, the
Applied Digital volunteer, 55-year-old New Jersey surgeon Richard Seelig, sees himself as simply a consultant thrust
by events into an unexpected role.

Seelig had been working with Applied Digital since early this year. He expected to do a traditional scientific study,
calling for volunteers who wanted to test out the role of chip implants. Then came the terrorist attacks Sept. 11.
Five days later, Seelig injected himself with the chips.

"I was so compelled by what had happened," he said in a phone interview. "One of the potential applications suddenly
jumped out--the ability to have a secure form of identification--and I felt I had to take the next step."

So he injected one chip into his left forearm; the other went in his right leg, next to his artificial hip. Each could hold
several sentences of information, although at the moment they just contain serial numbers.

"There`s no deformity of the skin," Seelig said. "I feel just the same as I did before."

The chips that will be marketed next year are not true tracking devices. For one thing, they have no internal power
source. Their data can`t be read without a scanner.

The next generation of body chips, which transmits signals from a distance, is still several years away. At the
moment, this kind of tracking device would have to be about 1 inch by 1 inch, raising the likelihood of a rather
unsightly bulge.

Applied Digital has a market value of 95 million. Its shares closed unchanged Tuesday at 38 cents on Nasdaq.

No one interviewed Tuesday questioned that Applied Digital had done what it said it did, but not everyone thought
there would be a huge market.

"It`s a glorified bar code, and there are not a lot of people who are going to want it," said Michael Nova, the founder
of Graviton, a La Jolla company developing wireless machine-to-machine communication systems. Using such a chip
as a built-in credit card, Nova said, would require a great deal of work.

"Stores would have to get the right software; credit card companies would have to want to do it," Nova said. "At the
moment, this is an intriguing idea that doesn`t have a market."

Which isn`t necessarily going to keep it from being popular, said futurist Paul Saffo.

"As some people wring their hands about the invasion of privacy and civil liberty, a whole other generation is going to
go, `Cool! I`ve always wanted to embed technology in my body.` It`s going to be fashion," Saffo said. "One sure sign
that teenagers will love it is if it terrifies their parents."

Habe ich vielleicht doch noch etwas richtig gemacht, als ich am Montag meine letzten Reserven in diese gottverdammte Aktie gepumpt habe ?

Zumindest habe ich meinen break even nochmals gesenkt, aber es muss noch einiges passieren, damit ich wieder bei null bin.
Ganz abgesehen davon, dass ich mich schon jetzt über meine Billigkacheln im Bad ärgere.Aber anstatt in Marmor hängt meine Kohle in adsx.

Das Technologie Unternehmen Applied Digital stellt den Mittelpunkt eines Berichtes in der Los Angeles Times dar, worauf auch der Kursgewinn von 18% zurückzuführen sein dürfte. Das Unternehmen hofft einen Microchip an Patienten mit künstlichen Organen wie Herzschrittmacher zu verkaufen, damit diese bei medizinischen Notfällen besser und schneller identifiziert werden können.In Verbindung mit GPS soll auch die Ortung von Personen, die diesen Mikrochip unter der Haut tragen, erleichtert werden.

Neben den positiven Nachrichten weist der Bericht jedoch auch darauf hin, dass Applied Digital Solutions in Liquiditätsschwierigkeiten stecken könnte, da allem Anschein nach eine Schuld bei einem Kreditgeber nicht bedient werden konnte. Des weiteren muss das Gerät erst klinische Tests bestehen und dann vor der Vermarktung durch die FDA genehmigt werden. Ein Prozess, der noch einiges an Zeit benötigen dürfte.

US-Firma will implantierbaren Identifikationschip für Menschen anbieten

Eine US-Firma will in drei Monaten mit dem Verkauf von Mikrochips beginnen, die Menschen unter der Haut eingepflanzt werden. Wie die Los Angeles Times am Mittwoch berichtete, sollen die Chips wichtige medizinische Informationen enthalten, die mit einem Scanner gelesen werden können. Der Hersteller Applied Digital Solutions empfiehlt diese Kennzeichnung besonders Patienten mit künstlichen Organen für eine schnelle Identifizierung in medizinischen Notfällen.

Der implantierte "Ausweis" könnte zukünftig auch bei der Suche nach entführten Personen hilfreich sein, glaubt die Firma. In Verbindung mit dem satellitengestützten Global Positioning System könnte der Chip und damit auch sein Träger lokalisiert werden.

Der Hersteller will das Produkt zunächst in Südamerika verkaufen. Mit der amtlichen Genehmigung durch die amerikanischen Gesundheitsbehörde für den US-Markt wird Mitte nächsten Jahres gerechnet. "Ich wäre überrascht, wenn wir in 10 Jahren nicht einen Chip unter der Haut haben, mit dem man sein Haus aufschließt, das Auto startet und Geld abhebt", meinte Chris Hables Gray, Computerprofessor von der Universität Great Falls in Montana.

Applied Digital stellt bereits elektronische Chips für Tiere her, mit denen Landwirte ihre Herden überwachen können. Ein weiteres Produkt sind Armbänder für Alzheimerpatienten, durch die der jeweilige Aufentshaltsort der Person festgestellt werden kann. (dpa)

Implantierbare Chips zur Identifizierung

Florian Rötzer 19.12.2001
In einer abgespeckten Version kommt nun der "Digitale Engel" auf den Markt

Ideen werden viele entwickelt, wie sich die Sicherheit verbessern und die Überwachung vergrößern ließe. Nach dem 11.9. können auch entsprechende Vorschläge besser durchgesetzt werden, und manche Unternehmen, die in der Sicherheitsbranche tätig sind, erwarten sich eine goldene Zukunft. Das trifft auch auf Applied Digital Solution mit ihrem "Digital Angel" zu. Erst einmal hatte man zwar den lange angekündigten implantierbaren GPS-Chip klammheimlich verschwinden lassen und auf Produkte wie Armbanduhren oder Halsbänder für Hunde gesetzt, die Bio- und Lokalisierungsdaten senden ( Der Digitale Engel ist da). In der aktuellen Stimmungslage und angesichts der schlechten Geschäfte forciert man jetzt aber doch wieder Chip, den Menschen sich unter die Haut einsetzen lassen können, allerdings noch ohne den GPS-Empfänger und einen Sender.













Seit September ist die Welt anders, zumindest was die Bereitschaft angeht, Überwachung zu erweitern und sie zu akzeptieren. Als Applied Digital Solution ( ADS) einst das Patent für den implantierbaren Chip mit GPS-Empfänger zur Lokalisierung und zur Übermittlung von Biodaten des Trägers erwarb, dachte man sich noch, damit neben Anwendungen im medizinischen Bereich oder für gefährdete Personengruppen vornehmlich eine fälschungssichere Identifizierungsmöglichkeit für den Einkauf als Ersatz von Kreditkarten oder anderen Ausweisen entwickelt zu haben ( Die Digitalen Engel kommen). Erst vor kurzem) wurde von dem Unternehmen noch abgestritten, dass man mit den Chips Tests an Menschen durchführen wolle. Die Gerüchte waren allerdings doch richtig.

Noch können solche implantierbaren Chips in Erbsengröße in den USA nicht auf den Markt gebracht werden, da sie medizinisch wie Herzschrittmacher zunächst von der Food and Drug Administration geprüft werden müssen. Dazu sind klinische Tests notwendig. Bei ADS hofft man, die Zulassung bis zur Mitte des nächsten Jahres erhalten zu können. In Südamerika will man aber schon in drei Monaten mit dem Verkauf beginnen, da hier keine Genehmigung erforderlich ist. Hier denkt man womöglich vornehmlich an Menschen, bei denen die Gefahr besteht, dass sie entführt werden könnten. Allerdings hätte ein solcher Chip nur dann Sinn, wenn sich über GPS der Aufenthaltsort des Opfers feststellen ließe. Sollten sich derartige Chips tatsächlich durchsetzen, so darf man dann aber auch annehmen, dass Entführer und Geiselnehmer mit vielleicht nicht angenehmen Mitteln nach ihnen suchen werden.

Erst einmal hat sich nun der Arzt Richard Seelig einen Chip in die Hüfte und einen weiteren in einen Arm eingepflanzt, wie die Los Angeles Times berichtet. Nachdem er bei Rettungsarbeitern und Feuerwehrleuten am WTC gesehen hatte, die sich ihre Namen und Sozialversicherungsnummern auf ihre Arme geschrieben hatten, um bei einem Unfall identifiziert werden zu können, wollte er den Chip testen und ließ ihn sich im September injizieren. Im Augenblick sind auf ihnen nur Seriennummern gespeichert. Zunächst haben sie noch keine interne Energieversorgung und können nur mit einem Scanner abgelesen werden. Zu sehen sei von dem Chip mit einer winzigen Antenne außen an der Haut nichts, spüren würde man ihn auch nicht.

Auch wenn für das Unternehmen der Einsatz des Chips als fälschungssichere Identifizierungsmethode oder als implantiertes Ausweis trotz aller konkurrierenden biometrischen Methoden bestehen bleibt, denkt man zunächst einmal wieder an kranke Menschen, um den "Digitalen Engel" gesellschaftsfähig zu machen. Während man für die mit dem GPS verbundenen Uhren an verwirrte Alzheimer-Patienten oder Kinder gedacht hat, um sie lokalisieren zu können, sollen Menschen mit künstlichen Gliedern oder Organen zu den Pionieren der implantierten Ausweise werden. Bei einem Notfall würde der Chip Informationen wie wichtige medizinische Daten sowie den Namen und Telefonnummern, beispielsweise von den Familienangehörigen oder vom behandelnden Arzt, mitteilen können. Er könnte auch einen Code enthalten, um Informationen von einer Datenbank abrufen zu können. Mit einem Scanner könnten diese Daten bis zu einer Entfernung von einem Meter gelesen werden. Und man fragt sich natürlich bei solchen Vorstellungen auch gleich, wie verhindert werden könnte, dass die Daten von Unbefugten abgelesen werden könnten.

Angeblich hätten sich für diesen Chip bereits Gefängnisbehörden interessiert. Allerdings dürfte eine elektronische Fessel, die man mittels eines chirurgischen Eingriffs dauerhaft implantiert, nicht ohne rechtliche Schwierigkeiten sein. Und ob sich Angestellte in Sicherheitsbereichen wie Flughäfen oder Atomkraftwerken tatsächlich solche Chips unter die Haut setzen lassen, um identifiziert zu werden, darf doch bezweifelt werden. Und eine derartige Überwachung von Kindern, die ADS für die GPS-Chips als weiteren Markt neben den alten Menschen betrachten und die ihr Einverständnis gar nicht geben können, würde zumindest deutlich machen, dass bei aller Terrorhysterie hier eindeutig Sicherheit und Überwachung über Freiheit triumphiert. Die GPS-Chips, die auch physiologische Daten erfassen und versenden können, setzten natürlich eine Energieversorgung voraus. ADS entwickelt im Augenblick Hitzezellen, die Wärme in Energie umsetzen. Bis diese Chips auf den Markt kommen werden, falls dies überhaupt geschieht und man nicht eher bei wearable computing bleibt, bei dem Minicomputer, Sender und Sensoren nur in der Kleidung am Körper mitegeführt werden, dürfte es noch einige Jahre dauern.

Ob die Menschen allerdings langfristig den "Digitalen Engel" als permanent überwachenden "Großen Bruder" empfinden oder sie sich, angefangen bei der Mitführung von Handys zur Dauerpräsenz und Lokalisierung, allmählich daran gewöhnen, in einer vernetzten Welt stets beobachtet zu werden, muss man abwarten. Der "Digitale Engel", der unter die Haut wandert und den Menschen zu einem Knoten im Netz macht, wäre jedenfalls ein Anlass, über die allmählich sich durch die digitalen und vernetzten Technologien verändernden Grenzen zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit oder Anonymität und Kenntlichkeit nachzudenken.

Ob dies der britische Kybernetikprofessor Kevin Warwick, der sich bereits vor drei Jahren mit großem Medienrummel vorübergehend einen Chip implantieren ließ, auch will oder ob er vor allem die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit auf sich lenken will, sei dahin gestellt ( Der Forscher als Publicity Stuntman). Er denkt mittlerweile über erart banale Dinge wie den Digitalen Engel von ADS hinaus. Vorgeführt hatte er seiner Zeit, wie über den Chip gesteuert in seinem Institut die Türen aufgingen oder sich das Licht anschaltete, wenn er als berechtigte und identifizierte Person herumspazierte. So ließ sich denn auch stets in diesem intelligenten Haus mit Bewohner erkennen, wo er sich gerade aufhielt. Seit geraumer Zeit kündigte Warwick bereits einen "telepathischen Chip" an, um neuronale Impulse von einem Menschen auf einen anderen zu übertragen ( Kommunizieren von einem Nervensystem zum anderen). Da scheint es allerdings noch Schwierigkeiten bei der Kommunikation zu geben ...

Ob dies der britische Kybernetikprofessor Kevin Warwick, der sich bereits vor drei Jahren mit großem Medienrummel vorübergehend einen Chip implantieren ließ, auch will oder ob er vor allem die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit auf sich lenken will, sei dahin gestellt ( Der Forscher als Publicity Stuntman). Er denkt mittlerweile über erart banale Dinge wie den Digitalen Engel von ADS hinaus. Vorgeführt hatte er seiner Zeit, wie über den Chip gesteuert in seinem Institut die Türen aufgingen oder sich das Licht anschaltete, wenn er als berechtigte und identifizierte Person herumspazierte. So ließ sich denn auch stets in diesem intelligenten Haus mit Bewohner erkennen, wo er sich gerade aufhielt. Seit geraumer Zeit kündigte Warwick bereits einen "telepathischen Chip" an, um neuronale Impulse von einem Menschen auf einen anderen zu übertragen ( Kommunizieren von einem Nervensystem zum anderen). Da scheint es allerdings noch Schwierigkeiten bei der Kommunikation zu geben ...

Der letzte Satz gefällt mir sehr gut: These guys are the start denn es ist immer gut der erste zu sein!

A New Jersey surgeon has embedded under his skin tiny computer chips that can automatically transmit personal information to a scanner, a technology that his employer hopes will someday be widely used as a way to identify people.
One bioethicist called the procedure the stuff of science fiction. The chip, developed by Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, Fla., is similar to that implanted in more than a million dogs, cats and other pets in recent years to track and identify them.
The new chip measures slightly smaller than a Tic Tac mint and has a miniature antenna that emits signals containing about two paragraphs worth of data when scanned by a handheld reader.
The device must undergo clinical trials and be approved by the Food and Drug Administration before it can be marketed, first to patients with other implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers.
The surgeon, who said he implanted the device in his hip and one arm in September, asked not to be named because he worries about the attention his initiative will draw. He said he decided to test the chip himself after seeing rescuers at the World Trade Center disaster site write their names and Social Security numbers on their arms so they could be identified in case they were injured or killed at the site.
Applied Digital has high hopes for the technology, in part because it is struggling financially and recently fell behind on loans from one of its major creditors. Its stock, which trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market, was as high as $3 in the past year. It closed at 38 cents yesterday.
Company officials said they hope to sell the device to patients with pacemakers, artificial hips and other implanted devices. The idea is that the chip will provide prompt and accurate medical information in the event of an emergency, they said.
The signal can contain a name, telephone number and other information. Or it can send out a code that, when linked to a database, can call up records. The scanner can read it through clothes from up to four feet away, company officials said.
Applied Digital executives said its new product also could serve as a tamper-proof form of identification. Corrections authorities have expressed interest in using the chips to better identify prisoners and parolees, officials said.
Airlines, nuclear power plants and other sensitive facilities may want to use the chips for employees, they said. Some parents may consider embedding chips in young children or elderly relatives who may not be able to say their names, addresses or telephone numbers.
"It depends on the spirit of the marketplace and the demand," said Keith Bolton, the company`s vice president and chief technology officer, adding that use of the chip should be voluntary unless the law allows otherwise. "We`re ready to begin."
Some medical and technology specialists said the device raises new questions about the nexus of humans and computer technology. And it could pose ethical or privacy dilemmas if implanted against someone`s wishes, or if it exposes personal information to prying eyes.
Thomas Murray, president of the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute in New York, said the chip "evokes images of science fiction."
"We need to consider carefully the broader implications," Murray said. "Alongside the possible benefits, it has the potential to be misused by forces who do not have your interests at heart."
Although the system has been in development for a couple of years, company officials said they were uneasy about implanting the chips in people until recently, fearing there might be a backlash from civil libertarians and others.
On Sept. 16, the doctor, using a local anesthetic, used a syringe-like device to insert the chips under the skin of his forearm. He followed the same procedure to implant the chip on his hip.
The chip is coated with a substance that encourages the body to hold it in place, he said. After just over two weeks, all signs of the procedure were gone. "After that, it was like nothing had happened," the physician said. "I felt it was important enough to do, that I took responsibility myself."
Airports are beginning to use similar micro-devices to improve security by tagging bags with more detailed instructions about how they`re to be handled and screened. Automakers are installing the chips in keys to deter auto theft. Libraries are beginning to use the technology to track books.
Three years ago, a British cybernetics researcher had a chip temporarily implanted to allow a computer to track his movements in a university building.
"The computer has jumped off our desktops and it is insinuating itself into every corner of our lives. Now it`s finding its way into our bodies," said Paul Saffo, director of the Institute for the Future in Menlo Park, Calif. "This stuff is going to happen. These guys are the start."
