Jump to first matched term

RICHMOND, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Apr 06, 2006 -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. (OTC BB: BLLD), a leading provider of wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the global supply chain, today announced the addition of three (3) Value Added Resellers ("VAR") who will represent the Company in key Latin American territories. The Company's expanding Latin America distribution network now includes representation by four (4) VARs in the territories of Chile, Venezuela, Mexico and Ecuador. Our VARs in Latin America will represent the Company's suite of Bulldog Online Security Solutions (BOSS)™ cargo security and tracking devices. The initial emphasis will be on the distribution of the Company's RoadBOSS GTS Wireless Security Seal, a GPS location device, using an ultra sensitive GPS receiver coupled with GSM/GPRS cellular communications, which gives instant remote notification of seal tampering and potential cargo loss to remote users.

Mr. John M. Cockburn, President and CEO of Bulldog Technologies, stated, "We believe Latin America represents an important market which could benefit from Bulldog's cargo security solutions. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development review of Maritime Transport 2005 indicated that the value of imports and exports for Latin American countries and the Caribbean has increased from approximately $660 billion in 2002 to over $850 billion dollars in 2004, an approximate increase of 29%. In executing our distribution strategy, we have focused on VARs having key political and business relationships within key Latin American countries to facilitate the adoption and distribution of our products in these countries. Bulldog's VARs are carefully screened to ensure they have the necessary infrastructure, resources, technical capabilities and financial stability to promote, support and maintain our products in their assigned territories. Our Ecuadorian VAR has already turned in positive results as evidenced by the recent purchase order for $1.4 million of RoadBOSS GTS products. We look forward to working with all of our Latin American VARs in executing our distribution strategy and will continue to seek qualified `VARs in Latin America, Europe, and North America to further penetrate the expanding global need for cargo security solutions."

CombiMatrix Publishes Influenza Paper in Collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO) Laboratory after Filing Key Patent Applications
Business Wire - April 06, 2006 06:00

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Apr 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq:CBMX) (Nasdaq:ACTG) announced today that its CombiMatrix group paper describing the Influenza Surveillance technology has been published in the April edition of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. This journal publishes the most-current research on microbiological aspects and diagnosis of human and animal infections and electronic versions of scientific publications can been accessed online at http://jcm.asm.org/current.dtl. The paper is titled "Use of Semiconductor-Based Oligonucleotide Microarrays for Influenza A Virus Subtype Identification and Sequencing." This research was conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Institute of Operational Health and the group of Dr. Richard J. Webby at the Infectious Diseases department of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, chaired by Dr. Robert G. Webster.

CombiMatrix has previously applied for patents on its Influenza Surveillance technology. These patent applications were developed around and built upon CombiMatrix's microarray platform, processes, and instruments.

The CombiMatrix Influenza A Typing Microarray can identify all strains of Influenza A, including bird and human varieties. CombiMatrix's system, by tracking changes in genetic makeup of the virus, can differentiate highly pathogenic from less-lethal flu strains and can identify strains that may be resistant to drug therapy. In addition, this system can detect mixed or multiple infections of influenza. This has been identified as a critical issue for identifying infectious "carriers" of the disease, such as chickens that are able to infect others with the H5 virus but themselves have no symptoms. Information on such issues can be accessed at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol12no01/05-1024.htm.

Patriot Scientific Receives Share of Proceeds from MMP Patent Portfolio Licensing Agreement with Fujitsu; Revenue from Distribution Will Fund Unprecedented 2nd 2006 Dividend, to be Paid April 24
Business Wire - April 05, 2006 09:13

CARLSBAD, Calif., Apr 05, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC) today announced that it has received its share of the distribution of proceeds from a licensing payment made by Fujitsu Limited - announced last month as the latest global system manufacturer to purchase a license to use intellectual property protected by the Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) (MMP) Portfolio. The amount will be used to fund Patriot Scientific's second shareholder dividend of 2006, which will be issued on April 24 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2006. Patriot Scientific and The TPL Group are co-owners of the MMP Portfolio, which is being exclusively managed by Alliacense, a TPL Group enterprise.

"This distribution to Patriot Scientific substantially increases our pre-dividend cash position and represents another significant milestone in our ongoing effort to realize the monetary value of our portfolio for the benefit of our Company and ultimately our shareholders," said Chairman and CEO David H. Pohl. "It not only provides funding for our second dividend to shareholders in two months - it also represents further validation of our dramatic transition as a company within just the past year. Patriot has changed from formerly being a small, promising yet profitless microprocessor company to one now rapidly receiving recognition as the co-owner of what our advisors tell us is a highly valuable patent portfolio of ubiquitous high-tech intellectual property."

Patriot's first-ever cash dividend of $0.02 per share was issued to shareholders on March 22, 2006. Patriot's second dividend pay-out - $0.04 per share - will be issued on April 24.

"Even a single dividend is considered virtually unprecedented for microcap firms, particularly companies such as Patriot Scientific that are focused on microprocessor technologies," Pohl pointed out. "There are no other examples we are aware of in which a microcap has issued two dividends within a single quarter -- which is the way our Board of Directors has currently chosen to share the early fruits of our patent portfolio licensing strategy with our shareholders."

In striking this breakthrough licensing agreement for the MMP Portfolio as announced in March, 2006, systems manufacturer Fujitsu joined Casio, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and AMD in licensing Patriot's core patents, which impact virtually every microprocessor manufactured since 1994.

The broad range of system-level digital products exploiting MMP Portfolio design techniques - in addition to computers and related hardware - includes consumer electronic products ranging from televisions, digital cameras and portable music players, high-tech medical equipment, office automation products, aerospace and even automotive electronics systems. All of these products are designed with multiple semiconductor devices that use MMP Portfolio technologies.

"It is on this basis, although no assurances can be given, that Patriot anticipates receiving its share of proceeds from further licensing agreements with major technology manufacturers that our contract licensing team is working to achieve in 2006 and succeeding years while the patents remain enforceable," Pohl said.

ViroPharma (Nasdaq:VPHM), at this time last year, was trading at less than $2 per share. The company has this antibacterial drug that treats the pathogenic bacteria C. difficile (CDAD), which causes diarrhea among patients taking certain antibiotics, called Vancocin. Sales of this drug have been really great, and the stock shot up from $2 to over $20. But last November, generic drug companies reported that they were considering making a generic version of Vancocin, which has no patent. The only protection Vancocin has from generic competition is that it's very complex and difficult to make, and would take years of clinical testing to create.

NP ,there always will be a good trade around the corner so be patience.

Bored?? a losing trade is a bad trade ,pick your fight.

NVAX ,-They are legit so is CBMX their partner.I would not go long yet because of the overhang shares from the financing but if there's good news then all bet are off.

Ivanhoe Energy updates California well test

BAKERSFIELD, CA, March 27 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: IVAN and
TSX: IE, IE.U) is completing testing of the first and lowest zone at its North
Yowlumne exploration well.
The first of three zones has been tested in the 13,000-foot North
Yowlumne 1-26 well. A minimal amount of light 32 degrees API oil was recovered
from the zone. The operator is continuing to collect data from the lower zone,
and testing of the higher second zone of three zones will commence later this
week.
"The recovery of oil from this first zone is encouraging," said David
Martin, Ivanhoe Energy's Chairman. "The zone that has been tested was believed
to be the least productive of the three zones. The presence of light oil is a
positive sign for the testing of the remaining two upper zones."
Ivanhoe Energy has acquired additional acreage at the North Yowlumne
prospect. The 8,000-acre North Yowlumne prospect was developed by Ivanhoe
Energy after a 38 square mile 3-D seismic survey indicated that the Yowlumne
Sand extends onto the company's block in the southern San Joaquin Basin area.
This new North Yowlumne well is approximately two miles north of the
oil-producing Yowlumne Field in Kern County, in Southern California's
oil-prolific San Joaquin Valley. The Yowlumne Field was discovered in 1974 and
has produced more than 110 million barrels of oil and 96 bcf of gas from the
Yowlumne (Stevens) Sand.
Ivanhoe Energy farmed out 87.5% of this exploration prospect and
resulting well. If the well is successful the farmin parties earn a 43.75%
interest. Following payout of the first producing well, we will have a 56.25%
working interest in the block and will be the operator for any subsequent
operations.

Partners in the North Yowlumne prospect are:

Ivanhoe Energy (USA) 56.25%
NEG (operator of the exploration well) 6.25%
Salinas Energy Ltd. 25.00%
Statesman Exploration 12.50%

Ivanhoe Energy is an independent international oil and gas exploration
and development company pursuing long-term growth in its production and
reserve base using key technologies, including its proprietary heavy oil
upgrading process, state-of-the-art drilling and enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
techniques and the conversion of natural gas to liquids (GTL). Core operations

Readers Express Caution on Focus Media Holding (FMCN)
Related Stocks: FMCN

A number of China Stock Blog readers have expressed concerns about Chinese out-of-home advertising network operator Focus Media (ticker: FMCN):

David:

Focus Media have been successful at filling a niche, however like many Chinese companies their future growth prospects will be determined by how quickly they come up against the state owned companies. In their case if CCTV and other state owned TV stations feel that Focus Media are taking too many advertising dollars away from them then they will find a way to hit back, most likely through regulatory means.

Focus Media is a very low tech company - the content shown on each screen has to be changed manually using a DVD and/ or memory stick. It would be more logical to have all of their screens connected to a network so that content could be managed remotely but I have been told that if they did this then they would be classified as a TV network and they don’t have a licence.

This type of advertising will continue to grow but it will be in places like supermarkets and big chains like Carrefour and WalMart will do it themselves. Carrefour just announced that they will use another service provider to set up in-store networks in China and WalMart already have the expertise from operating their own service in the U.S.

Personally I find their LCDs intrusive and annoying so maybe there will also be a backlash from consumers at some point.

China Market Research Group:

Focus Media will have a tough time sustaining its high valuation. Right now MNCs are dying to get eye balls from Chinese consumers. With the lack of efficient channels to advertise in China, Focus Media has taken advantage of this and has provided a way for MNCs to get information out. However, the efficacy of the commericals are in doubt which questions the long-term viability of the business model.

Here are a few concerns/ thoughts:

1) the content constantly goes on a short-track. Thus, even if consumers actually look at the commercials, they get tired of seeing the same images over and over for one week. They soon forget to look at updated images and stop looking at the screens altogether.

Focus Media needs to come up with a way to update the tracks on a more regular basis or else consumers and thus advertisers will stop paying attention to Focus Media completely.

2) People’s eyes are more drawn to the Focus Media logo than they are to the actual commercials. We have run eye checking tests on this to see what consumers absorb. We have found that would be consumers see the Focus Media name and remember that more than the actual content of commercials.

3) there is not good tracking to assess the actual efficiency of the commericals. Our own sample size has been too small to assess accurately retention levels. Mobile phone ads that will emerge soon will have a much better barometer to determine retention #s.

Focus Media has done very well in marketing the company to advertisers and investors. If they can use their cash pile to enter more sustainable businesses, then Focus Media has a good chance to grow. It should look at making acquisitions or growing organically in the print and mobile phone ad sectors.
