SEDRO WOOLLEY, Wash., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Doll Technology Group announced today the tests carried out by the City of Castle Rock in Colorado confirmed that Aquaboost, a water conservation product, reduces the amount of water required to maintain city's sport playing fields by 10-20% while maintaining the fields in excellent condition. The tests resulted in the city of Castle Rock endorsing the product by purchasing Aquaboost to apply to all their playing fields. "Aquaboost has been tested in various locations in our city and has proven to save water, increase the condition of the turf and in some locations reduce run off. We plan to make Aquaboost part of our annual turf management program," said the Superintendent of Park Maintenance Castle Rock, CO.
Meetings were also held with the Colorado Department of Agriculture who has a great interest in the potential water savings offered by Aquaboost. In recent months the state has had to shut down a significant number of water wells to conserve water due to the rate of water depletion from the South Platte River. Many ranchers and farmers could face financial ruin due to water restrictions and drought. Aquaboost could reduce watering demand for plants and crops by more than 20%. Further meetings are planned in Colorado this week to follow up on previous discussions regarding the use of Aquaboost and to target additional sales.
It is estimated there is in excess of 500,000 sports fields in North America of which a large number experience the same concerns as the City of Castle Rock. It is anticipated that the potential annual market for Aquaboost could be in excess of $5 m per year. Doll Technology intends to use the Castle Rock experience to broaden the sale of Aquaboost to other regions of North America.
Safe Harbor Statement Under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements in the press release that relate to the company's expectations with regard to the future impact on the company's results from new products in development are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- (Business Wire) -- July 12, 2006
Bio-Solutions Manufacturing, Inc. (OTCBB: BSLM)
(Frankfurt: B2T.F) today announced its commencement of its new
bio-diesel venture by combining the recently acquired Bio-Extraction
Services, Inc., (provider of the technology for extracting oil and
grease from food service facilities' grease traps (interceptors) and
municipal collection systems), with the proposed acquisition of
Bioremediation Services, Inc. and its growing network of franchisees.
Franchisees' earnings in the past have been derived from services
they provided to food service facilities for treatment of grease traps
and drain lines and municipal sewer mains, lift stations, and
treatment plants. The oil and grease waste derived from the commercial
cooking establishments is divided into two categories: yellow and
brown grease. There is typically twice as much brown grease per
restaurant as yellow grease, and BSLM technology can handle both
types.
It is intended that all existing franchisees will be required to
upgrade their franchise agreement in order to participate in the
Bio-Extractor program. With the addition of the Bio-Extractor, each
grease trap and lift station can become a small individual oil well,
with the potential to increase revenue to the franchisee and the
Corporation with relatively little add-on costs. Bio Solutions intends
to revamp its franchise agreement for all new franchisees allowing
them to participate in this new bio-diesel feed stock extraction
venture and this represents a significant potential increase in
revenues for both Bio Solutions and its network of franchisees.
According to Michael Silverman, President of Bioremediation
Services, Inc., "This represents a major opportunity for Bio Solutions
- one that we believe can increase corporate and franchise revenues.
The BioExtractor opens the door for franchisees to own and operate
their own individual oil wells, extracting the oils and grease from
food service facilities and municipal treatment facilities that can be
used to produce bio-diesel and other value-added products. This is a
great opportunity and I look forward to the expansion of our company
in this field."
According to U.S. government statistics, the combined potential in
the United States for bio-diesel production is in excess of
1,650,000,000 (1.65 billion) gallons per year and growing rapidly.
This production is potentially of major significance in accordance
with President Bush's plan to combat high gas prices. Bio-Solutions
believes it can produce bio- diesel for less than $1.00 per gallon and
is also entitled to receive a .50 per gallon tax credit for the
refiner, according to President Bush's Four Part Plan Program. See
fact sheet at
www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/04/20060425-2.html. BSLM, with
its technology for extracting oil and grease (feed stock for
bio-diesel), is seeking to become a major player in this industry.
David S. Bennett, President and CEO of BSLM, states: "Our corporation
is striving to fulfill its mission to help combat the destructive
agents that pollute and harm our environment, in addition to helping
America lower its dependence on foreign oil."
Bio Solutions corporate office anticipates hosting a major
training session for new franchisees and recruits in September 2006.
About Bio Solutions Manufacturing, Inc.:
Bio Solutions has developed superior microbiological products for
waste bioremediation. Bio Solutions currently services many municipal
collection systems and a growing number of food service facilities in

LONDON (Reuters) - A paralyzed man using a new brain sensor has been able to move a computer cursor, open e-mail and control a robotic device simply by thinking about doing it, a team of scientists said on Wednesday.
They believe the BrainGate sensor, which involves implanting electrodes in the brain, could offer new hope to people paralyzed by injuries or illnesses.
"This is the first step in an ongoing clinical trial of a device that is encouraging for its potential to help people with paralysis," Dr Leigh Hochberg, of Massachusetts General Hospital, said in an interview.
The 25-year-old man who suffered paralysis of all four limbs three years earlier completed tasks such moving a cursor on a screen and controlling a robotic arm.
He is the first of four patients with spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, stroke or motor neurone disease testing the brain-to-movement system developed by Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems Inc (CYKN.OB: Quote, Profile, Research) in Massachusetts.
"This is the dawn of major neurotechnology where the ability to take signals out of the brain has taken a big step forward. We have the ability to put signals into the brain but getting signals out is a real challenge. I think this represents a landmark event," said Professor John Donoghue of Brown University in Rhode Island and the chief scientific officer of Cyberkinetics.
The scientists implanted a tiny silicon chip with 100 electrodes into an area of the brain responsible for movement. The activity of the cells was recorded and sent to a computer which translated the commands and enabled the patient to move and control the external device.
"This part of the brain, the motor cortex, which usually sends its signals down the spinal cord and out to the limbs to control movement, can still be used by this participant to control an external device, even after years had gone by since his spinal cord injury," added Hochberg, a co-author of the study published in the journal Nature.

Findings from First Participant in Cyberkinetics' BrainGate Study Published in Nature
Wednesday July 12, 1:05 pm ET
Discoveries Support Feasibility of Brain-Controlled Prosthetic and Assistive Devices for Paralyzed Patients
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2006--Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: CYKN; "Cyberkinetics") today reported that scientific findings from the first participant in the Company's ongoing pilot clinical trials of the BrainGate Neural Interface System (BrainGate) are featured on the July 13, 2006, cover of the journal Nature. This research, which has unlocked new information about how to restore movement following damage to the nervous system, was published by a team of clinical trial collaborators from Cyberkinetics, Brown University, Rhode Island Hospital, the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, the Sargent Rehabilitation Center, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago.
In the Nature article, the authors describe the technology advances that allowed the first pilot trial participant, a 25-year-old with spinal cord injury, to control a computer and robotic devices using brain activity detected by the BrainGate System. The team also discusses the performance of a second trial participant, a 55-year-old with spinal cord injury, who remains a participant in the pilot trial of the BrainGate System.
As reported in Nature, these data represent the first peer-reviewed, published clinical evidence that support important steps in the creation of useful brain-controlled assistive technologies to provide independence to persons with paralysis. These findings include the first evidence that a person with severe paralysis, years after a spinal cord injury, continues to have the ability to voluntarily generate movement signals in his primary motor cortex, the area of the brain responsible for voluntary movement. The researchers also found that neural spiking - the language of the brain - can be recorded in humans, routed outside the brain and decoded into movement commands. Importantly, the report describes that a paralyzed person can successfully use the intention to move, in the form of neural spiking patterns, to demonstrate real-time, continuous, two-dimensional control of a computer cursor, as well as to operate a prosthetic hand and control a multi-joint robotic arm.
According to John Donoghue, senior author of the paper, Chief Scientific Officer of Cyberkinetics, Professor and Director of the Brain Science Program at Brown University, "We now have direct, compelling evidence that the area of the brain that controls movement remains functional even years after a spinal cord injury in the absence of a neural connection from the brain to the limbs."
Donoghue continued, "Furthermore, we now have a greater understanding of how the human brain controls movement. Our findings suggest that limb movement originates in the brain as distinct and predictable patterns of neural activity. The fact that these patterns can be changed by imagining movement and can also be quickly translated into a control signal by computer algorithms holds promise for the ability to create a useful interface to aid persons with paralysis. These results also hold promise to one day be able to activate limb muscles with these brain signals, effectively restoring brain-to-muscle control via a physical nervous system."
"As a physician, I do whatever I can to optimize the recovery of patients with paralyzing disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury or neuromuscular disease," stated Leigh R. Hochberg, M.D., Ph.D., lead author and a Principal Investigator in Cyberkinetics' pilot trial of the BrainGate System. "The available assistive technologies, however, provide neither sufficient independence nor mobility. Thanks to the generosity and pioneering spirit of our initial trial participants, who have volunteered without expecting to derive any personal benefit, important progress is being made in developing a real-time neuromotor prosthesis. Though much work remains to be done, hopefully one day, I'll be able to say, 'we have a technology that will allow you to move again.'"
"The findings reported today highlight the power of Cyberkinetics' neural interface technology and clearly demonstrate our leadership position in the rapidly growing field of neurotechnology," said Timothy R. Surgenor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cyberkinetics. "We are eager to expand on this initial proof-of-concept and continue the development of the BrainGate System to provide an important new operating system for people with severe disabilities."
About the BrainGate System
The BrainGate Neural Interface System is a proprietary, investigational brain-computer interface (BCI) that consists of an internal sensor to detect brain cell activity and external processors that convert these brain signals into a computer-mediated output under the person's own control. The sensor is a tiny silicon chip about the size of a baby aspirin with one hundred electrodes, each thinner than a human hair, that can detect the electrical activity of neurons. The sensor is implanted on the surface of the area of the brain responsible for movement, the motor cortex. A small wire connects the sensor to a pedestal that is placed on the skull, extending through the scalp. An external cable connects the pedestal to a cart containing computers, signal processors and monitors that enable the study operators to determine how well study participants can control devices driven by their neural output - that is, by thought alone.
The ultimate goal of the BrainGate System development program is to create a safe, effective and unobtrusive universal operating system that will enable those with motor impairments resulting from a variety of causes to quickly and reliably control a wide range of devices, including computers, assistive technologies and medical devices, simply by using their thoughts. The fundamental groundwork for this human clinical work was conducted in the Donoghue lab at Brown University and made possible by preclinical funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
Through funding from the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Cyberkinetics is working with collaborators at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland FES Center (Functional Electrical Stimulation) to develop a neuroprosthesis designed to work with the BrainGate System to restore partial arm and hand function to individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.
In June, researchers reported preliminary results at the American Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgeons and the American Spinal Cord Injury Association annual meetings in Boston, Massachusetts. Data reported from the first three participants in the study of the BrainGate System demonstrated that each participant had the ability to modulate their neuronal signals to voluntarily and cognitively control computer software. The first participant elected to have his BrainGate implant removed following the completion of his participation and has since fully recovered without incident. To date, there have been no unanticipated adverse events.
Co-authors of the study include: Leigh R. Hochberg, M.D., Ph.D., the Massachusetts General Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Instructor, Harvard Medical School; John P. Donoghue, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Cyberkinetics, Professor and Director of the Brain Science Program, Brown University; David Chen, M.D., Medical Director, Spinal Cord Injury Program, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; Richard Penn, M.D., Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Chicago Hospitals; Mijail D.
