Newbie,
I did not know that.
Thank you.
Looks like the same company to me.
Just two related, but different businesses.

The Core Organization has worked with both GNC & EAS.
EAS is huge.
There has been a lot of talk about making nutritional information available directly to the consumer through their cell phone. Tivik has recently had press.
Strange, but Nascar goes to the same place.
Maybe NeoMedia and Core are working behind the scenes. They are both in IL.
Core appears to be involved in both marketing and nutrition.
Is something cooking? Strange brew.
BTW,
Ace & Core work as well.

Invention intervention--
fixing patents By Michael Kanellos, CNET News.com
Published on ZDNet News: August 4, 2005, 5:02 AM PT
In the early 1800s, the U.S. patent office was housed at a converted hotel in Washington, D.C., and when applications were approved, a clerk would ride the agency's pony across town to get the president's signature on them.
Reliance on the horse was a sign of the "primitive state of the country and of the patent office at the time, where the quickest way to deliver messages around the city of Washington was by a boy on a pony," according to "The Patent Office Pony," by Kenneth W. Dobyns. He also writes that in 1835, the office issued 757 patents.
If only things had stayed so simple. In fiscal 2004, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved about half of the 376,810 applications it received, according to preliminary data, and it expects a flood of new activity this year. Although the office has raised application fees and hired new examiners, by many accounts the agency is struggling with its workload.
Lawyers, companies, inventors and politicians all agree that the nation's patent system is in desperate need of reform. They cite concerns about proliferating litigation, questionable licenses and a potential decline in American competitiveness. The question is how to reform: For all the complaints, little consensus has emerged on how to fix the system.
In the worst-case scenarios, misguided reform efforts could unleash unintended consequences. For example, proposals to weaken the threat of court injunctions are designed to help defendants and reduce the number of lawsuits--but critics say this so-called reform could actually increase the amount of litigation.
The issue is coming to a head in Washington, where committees in the House and Senate are planning hearings on a host of proposals to change the nation's patent law and how the Patent and Trademark Office operates. The ideas being proposed run a wide gamut, from forcing patent holders to license their inventions to others, to the elimination of software patents altogether.
"Whether it's movies, music, software or telecommunications devices, the intellectual-property industries drive our economy," Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), vice chairman of the House Republican High-Tech Working Group, said in a statement. "Without adequate protection there will be no incentive to create, and the economy and job creation will be hurt."
In June, Smith introduced the Patent Reform Act of 2005 (PDF file), which could make it more difficult to obtain patents and reduce the damages a plaintiff could receive. Even in its earliest stages at the House subcommittee level, however, the legislation has already shown why patent reform is a highly elusive goal.
The bill immediately generated controversy with a provision that would give more discretion to the courts when it comes to ordering injunctions.
Under current law, most victorious plaintiffs win injunctions that prevent companies from manufacturing products that infringe on the patents in question. Smith's bill and other proposals would allow a judge greater leeway on whether to issue an injunction. Instead of having to force a product off the market, they would be able to require, for example, simply that the defendants pay royalties on future output to the plaintiffs.
Reformers say injunctions often force defendants to settle, sometimes unfairly, to avoid a court judgment. But lawyers, patent holders and former patent agency officials say that, without the threat of injunction, defendants would drag their heels and take more cases all the way to a verdict.
Attorney James Pooley, a partner specializing in intellectual property at the Palo Alto, Calif., office of international firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, has proposed a compromise under which the courts would give liable defendants a grace period after a verdict but before an injunction is issued, during which they could change their products or cut a licensing deal with the plaintiffs.
"Nobody volunteers to take a patent license," said Kent Richardson, vice president of intellectual property at Rambus, which designs chips. "The reality is that most people won't get to a deal without the threat of an injunction. This makes it easier on fence sitters."
Targeting the court system
Reformers are also setting their sights on the appellate court process, which sends all patent appeals to the federal circuit. Years ago, changes in the court structure narrowed the number of federal courts that hear appeals. These changes were supposed to ensure that judges on these cases had experience; instead, by narrowing the number of appeals judges, some say, the changes introduced elements of personality into the system.
"There is a sense among people in this business that certain panels believe that certain facts should have preeminence," said Tom Duston, a partner at the Chicago law firm of Marshall, Gerstein & Borun. Appeals court judges kick back a relatively high 20 percent to 40 percent of the appeals for claim reconstruction, he added. In such cases, the appeals court is essentially saying that the first court misinterpreted some aspect of the patent in question and that the case must be reheard.
Other reform proposals target the way patents are handled long before any litigation comes. Many of the most strenuous complaints about the system are directed at companies that obtain patents but never make products from them, choosing instead to extract money from others who might be in violation.
Some reformers advocate a system that would force companies to make products with their patents or at least license them for others to put into practical application. But critics warn that this change would impose a duty on an inventor to compete as an industrial conglomerate, which can be difficult on individuals.
Besides, says former patent office director James E. Rogan, individuals and companies have every right to do whatever they want with their patents--including nothing.
"You can create it. You can sell it. You can license it or you can sit on it," said Rogan, now a partner at Venable, a Washington law firm. "It is not the job of the patent examiner to delve into the psyche of the inventor."
Intellectual Ventures CEO Nathan Myhrvold, former chief technology officer of Microsoft, is equally blunt: "There isn't compulsory licensing in essentially any other part of American life. The only thing that would be similar to that would be eminent domain, where the government can ultimately condemn your property and force you to sell it to them if they truly need it to develop a new highway or something."
Another reform proposal would allow companies or individuals to file objections to a patent application while the patent office is determining whether to award the patent. As a result, questionable patents could be vetted before any litigation begins.
Europe has a system like this, but only 5 percent to 10 percent of applications are ever challenged, so it's clearly no panacea. Still, reformers are looking to other continental measures that may hold answers for the U.S. patent system, most notably the European Parliament's rejection of the concept of software patents.
International patent standards in general are drawing more attention as the U.S. system falls under increasing scrutiny. In the rest of the world, the inventor is the person who files the application with the patent office first, a so-called first-to-file standard.
In the United States, the inventor is the person who created the product, which makes it a "first-to-invent" standard--a far more ambiguous criterion. "Until 1997, we had company. But that January, the Philippines went to a first-to-file standard," attorney Pooley said.
'Ordinary skill in the art'
Part of the reason that patents are so often disputed can be traced to the definition of what can legally be protected. Patents are supposed to be awarded for inventions that are both new and non-obvious to a person "having ordinary skill in the art."
"The real issue is that we should only grant patents for truly new and non-obvious inventions. Vagueness is another issue," said Adam Jaffe, dean of arts and sciences at Brandeis University.
Unfortunately, terms like "non-obvious" and "vague" are themselves also subject to wide interpretation.
"Have you ever read a patent claim?" Duston asked. "It's one sentence that runs on for a half a page with all of this jargon in it. It is not in English."
In Myhrvold's view, the whole issue of "vagueness" is overblown. "Usually it comes up from people who don't like patents already. It's a rationalization for their position," he said. "The stock market has stocks of companies that are flaky and questionable, right? But does that mean we should just avoid all public security markets?"
Some reformers advocate a standard that would require patent holders to show that infringers knowingly violated their protections. "In copyright, they (the defendants) kind of know where they got it from. In patents, they may have generally invented it, but it was too late," Rambus' Richardson said.
While patents protect an invention, copyrights protect the "matter and form" of something, such as a piece of writing or music.
Reformers have suggested that liability applies only after the defendant receives a letter warning them of the potential infringement. Unfortunately, that could also encourage some to work quickly and kill a product after the letter arrives.
In spite of such seemingly daunting obstacles, recent progress offers reason for hope. In fact, some of the larger problems in the patent system have already been curbed because of reform efforts in recent years.
Patent applicants, for instance, can no longer repeatedly amend an application--a procedural peculiarity that let prolific patent collector Jerome Lemelson amass a fortune in legal settlements and licensing fees for products ranging from Velcro darts and wiper blades to medical equipment and chipmaking technologies.
And as the broader patent policies are debated, at least the chronically overworked and underfunded patent office is finally getting some relief. It has hired 900 new inspectors so far this year alone, bringing its total to 4,000.
The agency will also keep the estimated $1.5 billion in fees it collects from applicants annually. In the past, Congress often siphoned this money off for other projects.
"This office is critical to the health of our economy and to the lives of millions of Americans," Congressman Smith said in a statement. "From the lone individual working in their garage to the small-business person with a breakthrough idea to the large high-tech company that applies for hundreds of patents, all rely on a responsive PTO."

"NeoMedia and its investment banker, Cornell Capital, are going to bring NEOM a number of opportunities to use its extensive shareholder base to effectively create mini-IPOs for private companies with which they have a banking relationship".
"Here is how the financial magic works. Cornell brings a private company to NEOM in which they have a financial interest via debt, equity or some combination. iPoint-Media Ltd. of Tel Aviv is the first example of this strategy".
Would anyone be kind enough to help a newbie out and explain what the implications may mean?
Judging from Friday's move, it's not a negative.
Does anyone have TS's CW Microcap promos from Dec 04? I believe this is where I pulled this from

Did we see this?
NeoMedia sure is being quiet.
It appears that the Word Registry has been delay.
MobilRelay pulled the PaperClick Partner link.
Aura Digital has not announced the launch of PaperClick as they stated would be in July.
No word about Scanbuy.
Is something else big brewing, or are we on hold due to BSDS?
Well, I guess you can't call the Virgin & Aiclick settlement, and the LOI Mobot buyout quiet.
Ruden,
I do not believe PaperClick is being used by Aura YET.
Or, at least publicly.
It appears that NeoMedia is getting their ducks in a row, holding back several product launches.
Pretty wild tool.
I believe this suggests actual weblinks, not related search.
Hmmmm?
Google Browser Shows Your Links In Motion
by Bill Koelzer
Your site is enmeshed in a monstrously large matrix of linked website connections. Seeing this matrix wriggling around on a screen, as though alive, is really scary the first time. Here's how you view it.
Since there is so much talk lately about how links -- both incoming and outgoing -- impact our sites' ability to rise up higher on Google and most other search engines, I thought it would be good to acquaint you with the little known TouchGraph Google Browser.
This incredible tool will actually show you for the first time graphically how your own website is enmeshed in an inconceivably huge matrix of Web relationships. The TouchGraph Google Browser, which requires Java JRE 1.3+ (available at the site), shows you the thousands of lines that exist between your site and the sites that it's linked to, and even the sites beyond.
The full screen graphic you view looks almost alive. In fact, it's really scary the first time you see it moving and wriggling around on the screen like something quite alive.
Apocryphally, it almost makes you think that we may not be far from the Internet becoming self-aware as the rogue computer, HAL, did in 2001: A Space Odyssey, or the callow military computer did in 1983's War Games starring Matthew Broderick, or the computer network SkyNet did in all of the Terminator movies.
In the TouchGraph Browser, if you double-click on the little boxes that carry the first level of key sites that are connected to your site, each box magically expands with lines shooting out in all directions to show you the next level of boxes/sites to which the first-level box connects. And on and on and on that way. (The connected boxes are like those of an organizational chart, showing who reports to whom, horizontally, vertically and laterally.) Double-clicking on a box opens dozens of secondary boxes. You will tire of clicking on boxes long before you reach the end of their relationship. Actually, no end to the relationship exists!
As you click on more boxes and go deeper and deeper into the matrix, with the screen showing more and more lines to other connections, you realize -- because perhaps this is the first time that you could actually SEE it -- how truly intertwined your linking has become on the Web.
You will see how your link to a single large "authority" site, or that of another agent, is only the tip of the iceberg of interconnectivity that your site enjoys on the Web because of just that one link.
If you doubleclick on the box that represents the site that a given link goes to, then that site's outgoing links will unfold and appear for you.
Here's an exercise for you. Open the visualizer to a big Realtor site like www.NeoRealestate.com, or to www.DebbieFerrari.com. Then go to several big realty "hubs" like Realty Times and drill down through the many interconnected boxes. Soon, your screen becomes so filled with lines and boxes that you can only study an inch or so of the space at a time. It is like looking at the stars on a clear night through a telescope and realizing that in an area just the size of a dime there are thousands of stars.
The way, way out, farthermost boxes in the Visualizer (farthest away from your own site) also represent websites connected to yours, but they may not even have your link on them. Nonetheless, they are connected, through the matrix, to your site because they are connected to many levels of intermediate connections that DO lead back, ultimately, to your site.
The TouchGraph Google Browser site is incredibly fun to play with. A green info button on each box, that appears on mouse-overs, displays link info about that site. A popup window appears containing the page summary and a clickable hyperlink opens the actual page in a new window. Other tags on the boxes serve other purposes, but you can read about those when you get to the site.
You may have to disable your firewall to make the Java work for you, but whatever you have to do, I recommend that you go and experience how your links fit into the huge family of sites on the Internet.
As you stun yourself with the amazing TouchGraph Google Browser you will immediately appreciate the fantastic contribution that Tim Berners-Lee made to all of us when he invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory.
Where would many of us be today if Berners-Lee had not had the insight that enabled linking from any one place on the Web to any other place seamlessly, and today, almost instantly?
The TouchGraph Google Browser is far more than a toy, although it is worlds of fun to play with. In a way, it lets us see first hand the creativity of a man who enabled global information sharing on a level never seen before. He most certainly belongs in the ranks of all the greatest inventors in the world.
Once you see your interconnected Web revealed to you on the Touchgraph Google Browser, you will never be the same. This is because you will have actually seen that which you could only imagine before. It is an experience you will remember always. Click here to visit the TouchGraph Google Browser.

08/03:SCANBUY and Barcode Scanning Software

Scanbuy and Barcode Scanning Software
For years, barcodes have served as vital tools for tracking inventory, checking prices and identifying items. And because they are used worldwide, they have become the universal coding language for most retail products. The simple technology of the barcode has functioned at the business level for decades. Harnessing this technology at the consumer level, however, has not been possible on a grand scale until now.
Headed by Olivier Attia, Scanbuy, Inc. develops technology that provides mobile phones and other wireless devices with the ability to capture and decode the ever-present barcode. Their Optical Intelligence™ software transforms any camera phone into a personal barcode scanner by allowing the immediate processing of the barcode in a swift and cost effective manner. The software, which fits easily into a camera phone, PDA, or webcam, decodes and processes the information and provides users with multiple contents related to that code.
A consumer with a Scanbuy-equipped phone could theoretically walk into a store, scan a product they are interested in, and then through the phone’s internet connection, gain access to a complete list of the same product’s availability and price variations at other retailers. Users can also download music samples, view movie trailers and sample the content of an item before deciding to make a purchase.
“It is the ultimate tool for comparison and smarter shopping. Your camera phone can become a personal, wireless, and interactive barcode scanner for less than half the price of traditional laser-based scanning equipment,” says Attia. “This software links the physical world to the internet through the use of basic barcode technology. It helps businesses sell more products, and it also helps educate consumers, increasing the chances that they will be satisfied with their purchase and less likely to make a return.”
On the surface, comparison shopping seems like the most obvious employment of the Scanbuy software, but its mobile commerce applications are limitless. Items like concert tickets or clothes can be purchased instantly. Challenging obstacles like tedious data entry and poor navigation can be sidestepped with one easy scan. Business cards embedded with barcodes, for example, can be swiped and stored in a fraction of the time it would take to manually input that information to a PDA. In fact, Scanbuy offers users a free option for coding their business cards at scanpeople.com.
Consumers aren’t the only ones that will benefit from the Scanbuy technology. Businesses can reduce costs by replacing expensive scanners with cheaper scan-ready phones. Inventory management can be centralized, and field and sales forces can become more automated. There are even security applications – government officials can utilize the software to scan driver’s licenses and other forms of identification at important checkpoints.
Named by Fortune Magazine as one of their Top 25 Breakout Companies of 2005, Scanbuy is set to revolutionize the world of handset interactivity. Several manufacturers are expected to launch Scanbuy technology at the end of this year. Attia expects between 50 and 70 million devices to initially enter the marketplace, with many more to debut in the years to come.
“The beauty of this technology is that it is simple and easy to use. The world becomes your showroom with just one simple swipe,” he says. “We believe that we’re going to change people and the way they shop and do business. It’s a very exciting time for mobile commerce.”
OT: That kind of fun will drain the life out of you.
MOBOT & XOBILE :0)
Notice PP highlights,
leapSCAN™ works with a specially created barcode on a DVD box, computer screen, television or any other surface.
LOL,
Can Anonymous be anymore blunt. LOL.
Success,
I really don't know, but, if NeoMedia does own that bridge, then I am sure they can cross it through companies such as Aura Digital Communications.
Success,
Read up on their Hypertag Live and Hyperstore. These look new and do take you to the internet. Notice the use of the term branded.
RFID and IR Tags are just another wireless device - another way of moving data. I'm trying to DD and understand how HyperTag, Aura Digital, and NeoMedia may be working together.
At this point, I still think that NeoMedia owns the bridge.
OT: JY - I did not mean to imply that.
$6.5mm times a 10-bagger looks pretty good to me.
They know how much those 6.5m in shares will be worth.
NeoMedia Vs Hypertag (IR)
NeoMedia Technologies has a suite of eleven issued patents covering core concepts behind our techniques for linking the physical world to the electronic world. These patents cover various linkage methods including

6,865,608 Method and System for Simplified Access to Internet Content on a Wireless Network
From Patent 6651053
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This application relates to the use of machine-readable indicia and codes such as bar codes, RF-ID tags and the like, for linking to distributed data resources residing on a server in a networked computing environment such as the Internet
TS: “Another thought from our wireless media expert: “There is only one
way left for direct connect, and that is through Bluetooth. … Wave
your Bluetooth-enabled phone at a movie poster and the phone
receives a video, ringtone etc. This is not NEOM IP. But if you
look at who NeoMedia has teamed with -- Aura Digital out of
Australia -- you will see they are launching this opportunity.”
I am thinking that TS is wrong, and that Hypertag “Live” & "Hyperstore" needs our license. Direct connect to data, yes, but not to the “Internet” without Neom. The way I see it so far is that webpages (code) can be stored on the Hypertag, but we own the bridge.
Could Hyperstore and Live be PaperClick rebranded?
Well Doc - Very nice point. eom

Hypertag
This allows people to download content directly to their phone handsets and PDAs. By enabling the Infra-Red (IR) port or Bluetooth, the user receives a phone number, reminder prompt, game, logo, picture or ring-tone. The system only comprises an electronic device - the Hypertag - which is installed in a poster panel or dedicated unit. With the Hypertag service there is no access to internet web sites and content is strictly controlled by the Tag owner. No software is required on the mobile device.
Hypertag Live
This allows people with compatible mobile phone handsets and connected PDAs to bring up a specific website on the screen by pointing at a Tag and pressing a button.
Hypertag launch m-commerce application
Release date: 29 Jul 2005
Mobile marketing technology company Hypertag today announces an extension to its interactive out-of-home advertising products with the launch of Hyperstore, a new mobile commerce application.
Hyperstore is a phone-based browser that will allow consumers to buy content and products direct from their mobile phone. Hyperstore is downloaded from a Hypertag advertising installation, meaning that consumers can access it via a simple physical touch point.
By creating an m-commerce application that can be downloaded simply and easily Hyperstore will drive m-commerce amongst mainstream audiences who are unable or unwilling to undertake m-commerce via operator portals or shortcodes.
For example, as part of an album launch a band could run a poster-based Hypertag campaign handing out Hyperstore applications to mobile phones. Users would receive a branded browser application that would allow them to connect via WAP to receive news and content from the band as well as enabling them to purchase ring tones or music clips.
M-commerce to date has primarily been restricted to shortcode-instigated purchases of ringtones and wallpapers or to purchases via operator portals. By enabling consumers to download an easy-to-use, branded m-commerce application direct from a poster, Hyperstore promises to open up wider m-commerce opportunities to the mass market.
Rachel Harker, co-founder of Hypertag, said: 'Hyperstore is giving a new level of depth to the Hypertag proposition. As well as being able to offer consumers great mobile content direct from advertising locations, brands can now also give users an ongoing content experience as well as the opportunity to purchase content from their phones in an easy to use way.
'Hyperstore is all about making m-commerce easy for consumers, rather than having to navigate tricky WAP portals or to get involved in premium rate shortcode purchases, they will now be able to simply visit a Hypertag and get online.
About Hypertag
Hypertag is a mobile marketing technology company specialising in out-of-home interactive advertising. Founded in 2001, the company has created a new mechanism for brands to engage with consumers via their mobile phones in a truly opt-in and interactive way.
Hypertags are short-range wireless devices that can be mounted in advertising panels or worn by a field marketer. Consumers simply activate the infra-red or Bluetooth on their phone and hold it up to the Hypertag to receive marketing content such as ringtones, logos and video and music clips direct to their phone. Because Hypertags use infra-red or Bluetooth, transactions are free to both advertiser and consumer.
Hypertag is revolutionising the out of home advertising industry by adding a new level of interactivity into what have traditionally been static, passive marketing media. Hypertag's technology has been used in a wide range of campaigns for brands such as Procter and Gamble, O2, Orange, Sony Ericsson and HP.
FYI - IR tags,

I guess RFID is different than Infra-Red?
