TMMI Announces Completion of Deal to Acquire TruDef Fractal Video Codec Enhancements
CALABASAS, CA--(Marketwire - December 21, 2007) - TMM Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TMMI) announced today that it has completed negotiations with Tom Simpson and the principals of Digital Focus Inc., and their company doing business as TruDef Industries, to acquire all of their rights to enhancement work done of the TMMI fractal video codec developed in the 1990s.
The codec had been modified to successfully compress digital video solving issues that previously prevented fractal compression to work in full motion video.
The company announces it has received the enhanced version of the codec and are working on preliminary testing and product development of the next generation TruDef codec, details of which will be announced in the near future.
Fractal compression offers superior image quality than pixel-based compression since images are mathematically encoded, no pixels are saved. Video compressed in TruDef is resolution independent and can be expanded to larger sizes without image degradation inherent with pixel-based compression.
Company President Mike Fernandez stated: "I am happy to have finally completed the arrangements to acquire the enhancement work done on the TMMI fractal video codec. We believe there is a vast market for products that can reduce the file size of high definition video without reducing its quality. After all of these years we are looking forward to showing some examples of the capability of the enhanced fractal compression technology and the features and functionality that it can bring to the emerging market for high definition video."
Tom Simpson stated: "We are all happy to be working again with TMMI to bring a new generation of high definition compression products to the company. The market is searching for tools that can handle the data created by today's new high definition video cameras. We have for years seen the fractal-based product as the best solution to the file size demands of high definition video and the practical constraints of storage of raw high definition video; unfortunately computing power limited the ability of the codec to competitively perform in the video compression market of the 1990s. The new TruDef product can offer quality virtually undetectable from raw with substantial savings of file size."

the tape shows 2 5k sells @.0024 followed by 1 5k sell at .0023 then 1 5k sell at .0022 to kill the rally. Someone doesn't want this thing to go up.
keep this in mind after the first of the year,
will discuss the great progress we've had this year with our U.S. marketing partner, Accutest-Jant Pharmacal."
market seems to like the national release
patents are not fluff
News might be coming today.

bulldog,
I agree with you and am constantly trying to get Yaacov to open up more. I honestly think that the marketing has been slower than Yaacov expected and the markets have been very difficult to penetrate. I don't think he wants to release info until it meets his goals. Having said that, I think Accutest will prove to be a tremendous marketer having access to many government agencies. Without trying to sound like I'm pumping, I think the next several months will prove to be a turning point. But we've heard that before, so we shall see.
IAHL getting some attention this morning on news release
Richie,
Alliance was the seed money to get this company going.
mike,
There are other kits available
I don't know anything about the kit you referred to but look at this CPSC report
CPSC Staff Study: Home Lead Test Kits Unreliable
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today announced the results of a special evaluation of consumer lead test kits. CPSC staff used commonly available test kits on a variety of paints and other products containing different levels of lead. Many of the tests performed using the kits did not detect lead when it was there (false negatives); some indicated lead was present when it was not (false positives). Of 104 total test results, more than half (56) were false negatives, and two were false positives. None of the kits consistently detected lead in products if the lead was covered with a non-leaded coating. Based on the study consumers should not use lead test kits to evaluate consumer products for potential lead hazards. These findings are consistent with previous CPSC staff test results.
CPSC staff studied two common types of home lead test kits that are based on chemical reactions involving rhodizonate ion or sulfide ion. Most test kits were developed to detect levels of lead in household paint that are usually much higher than CPSC’s regulatory maximum level of 0.06%. As a result, staff found that these kits may not be useful for detecting relatively low lead paint concentrations or for detecting lead in other materials, such as metal jewelry or vinyl products. Also, both types of kits may be affected by substances such as iron, tin, or dirt, or by paint colors that can cause the color in the test kit to change or hide the color change, thereby interfering with interpretation of the test results.
As part of the study of lead test kits, CPSC staff also evaluated the use of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) for screening for lead in paint and other products. Twelve of 13 samples were correctly identified as containing lead. The staff notes that this technology may be of use by a professional inspector for screening for the presence or absence of lead in products, particularly for surface level lead. However, XRF detectors are generally not available for consumer use. Further, use of an XRF device requires knowledge, training and consideration of its limitations. For example, XRF detectors have limited depth of penetration so, for certain applications such as children's metal jewelry, it is possible for the surface coating to mask the presence of potentially hazardous leaded base metal underneath.
Consumers should exercise caution when using these test kits to evaluate consumer products for potential lead exposures. False results can make it difficult or impossible for consumers to determine the proper course of action to take. In fact, CPSC staff has tested a number of other samples that had been identified by consumers and others based on their use of inexpensive test kits as having high lead levels. To date, none of these items has actually had high lead levels based on CPSC lab analysis. This is another indication of the poor reliability of the kits for this purpose. Testing by a qualified laboratory and trained personnel is the only way to accurately assess the potential risk posed by a consumer product that may contain lead.
Consumers can stay informed of lead-related recalls by signing up for email announcements at www.cpsc.gov. Consumers who suspect that their child has been exposed to excessive levels of lead, should immediately contact a physician.

Washington diary: Toxic China?
By Matt Frei
BBC News, Washington
The troubled relationship between the world's only remaining superpower and its next emerging one, between the US and China, wafts in and out of our consciousness like those over-powering sweet and sour smells that emanate from the heating vent of my local dim sum restaurant.
Millions of Chinese-made toys have been recalled this year in the US
The smells come in waves, they depend on the direction of the wind and they can make you feel a little nauseous, even if you love the food behind them.
The latest waft came last Sunday at my daughter Lotte's sixth birthday party.
The party bags included a scented pencil. It was meant for writing but could easily be used for chewing.
With unbridled horror, one of the parents shrieked as if she had seen a poodle-sized rodent in the kitchen: "Oh my God. It's made in China!" Some of the other parents shuddered in unison.
"So?" I thought. "Isn't everything made in China these days?"
But I had failed to grasp the new terror that has gripped America, as it plunges head first into the holiday season: toxic toys.
The alliteration trips off the tongue like, well, Yellow Peril. The Chinese have become the latest incarnation of the Grinch that stole Christmas.
Lead poisoning
Having been alerted to this danger, I came across it everywhere.
On CNN, a digitised jingle, big and loud enough to knock a viewer off his perch, announced a "TOXIC TOYS" news alert.
Is the amount of lead in a Chinese pencil really much worse than the lead that used to trickle through Washington DC water pipes?
On MSNBC, they were dishing out advice to unsuspecting grandparents who were on their way to the shops to spoil their little charges. What was safe to buy? "Stick to American toys!" was one piece of advice.
But who still makes stuffed animals, cars or dolls in this country?
There is a place in Vermont, apparently, that uses nothing but organically nurtured cedar wood to make puppets. They cost a bomb. They have about 20 in stock. Hardly enough to satisfy the Yuletide cravings of 60 million or so under 10-year-olds.
China has been taking action over the high-profile product alerts
The Boston Globe newspaper raised the question of whether the toxic toys could seriously imperil your child's intelligence. Chew that thing, Harrison, and Harvard is history!
Now, I know that lead poisoning, which seems to be the main worry, is a serious business. I am not making light of the matter.
But is the amount of lead in a Chinese pencil really much worse than the lead that used to trickle through Washington DC's water pipes?
Three years ago someone discovered that our kids had been imbibing alarming amounts of heavy metal with their light cordial. That is what I call toxic.
Navy snub
It may be the season of good cheer but everyone loves to pick a fight - and the Chinese are an easy target, and they are not doing themselves any favours.
The Kitty Hawk was denied permission to dock in Hong Kong
After they took our manufacturing jobs, poisoned our pet foods and sold us toxic toys, the Chinese snubbed the mightiest navy the world had ever seen.
On 30 November came the news that the Chinese authorities in Hong Kong had blocked a US warship from visiting the fragrant harbour, for decades one of the regular ports of call for American naval vessels ploughing the South China Sea.
The frigate USS Reuben James had requested permission to dock in Hong Kong over the New Year's holiday, but the request had been turned down without reason.
This was not the first time. A week earlier, the USS aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk had also been snubbed, even though sailors' families had flown out to Hong Kong to join them to celebrate Thanksgiving.
No reason was given then, either, but later the Chinese said they had failed to realise the importance of the Thanksgiving holiday in the American calendar. Oh yeah?
It gets worse. A week before the Kitty Hawk incident, two American mine-sweeping ships had also been refused permission to dock, even though they had put out a distress call during one of the vicious storms that regularly churns the South China Sea.
Analysts have speculated that China might have been angry at a recent announcement that the US was planning to sell upgrades for a missile system to Taiwan, or that Beijing was retaliating because the Kitty Hawk had been busy monitoring a big Chinese naval exercise.
Sliding Greenback
There are plenty of reasons why the US and China do not get along.
No country holds greater dollar reserves - and, as everyone knows, you don't pick a fight with your banker
Iran, Darfur, Taiwan and Burma come to mind, just for starters.
The Chinese are flexing their military muscle in Asia. They have been exerting their economic and political influence in Africa and Latin America. They have been gobbling up natural resources from timber to crude oil to fuel their spectacular economic growth. They are riding the tiger. We are flogging a donkey.
But there are also plenty of reasons why Uncle Sam and Uncle Ho should get along just fine. If the American economy goes into recession and consumers run scared, we will not just be buying fewer Chinese toys, toxic or non-toxic - we will be buying less of everything made in China.
China is keen to present a positive image during the 2008 Olympics
Similarly, if the Greenback continues to slide, we may end up selling to the Chinese more but they might also dump huge amounts of dollars on the currency market.
China has become America's banker. No country holds greater dollar reserves - and, as everyone knows, you don't pick a fight with your banker.
Then there's the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The games are treated by China as the equivalent of a debutante's "coming out" party into the super-power club. The US could ruin them by threatening a boycott. The Chinese would never forgive them.
Then again, they both agree on climate change - much to the dismay of many Europeans.
Stocking filler
There are so many reasons why the relationship between Washington and Beijing is too important to be poisoned by hysteria about toxic toys, or tiffs about docking rights in Hong Kong.
Both sides love to ratchet up the rhetoric, as I discovered when I covered the saga of an American spy plane forced down over Hainan Island in April 2001.
I was based in Asia at the time. It was the first foreign policy crisis of the Bush administration and focused everyone's mind on the vexing and complex relationship between the US and China, which was subsequently forgotten in the dust of 9/11.
But it was a glimpse of things to come.
Taiwan is always there as a potential spark for a really serious falling out.
So here is my advice. Calm down about the toys. Let American sailors spend their dwindling dollars in the strip clubs of Wan Chai and, if you really are worried about lead poisoning, there is a handy stocking-filler from a company called IDenta coming soon.
Made in Israel - phew! - it will allow you to test for lead poisoning in the comfort of your home, costs just $15 or so and fits snugly into every party bag.

IDTA new kit tests for lead in toys,
International Substance Detection Firm IDenta To Release New Lead Test Kit - Rash Of Toy Incidents Leads Company To Enter New MarketplaceDec 3, 2007
Pink Sheets News Service
Jerusalem, Israel— Jerusalem, Israel - December 3, 2007 - IDenta Corp. (OTC: IDTA.PK - News)
announced today that it is in the final stages of releasing a new test kit that will detect the presence of lead in a wide variety of products including children's toys. The recent outbreak of lead contamination in products produced in China prompted the company to develop the new product line. As yet unnamed, the new IDenta lead detector will be targeted for sale to both the consumer marketplace as well as companies with products produced overseas.
"Lead contamination has unfortunately re-emerged as a serious threat to consumers world-wide, especially innocent children," declared Yaacov Shoham IDTA CEO. "There are hundreds of U.S. companies using overseas contract manufacturing that now must implement new detection procedures to protect them from product liability. We are developing this product to help these companies and the thousands of consumers that are concerned about the safety of overseas produced products, like toys, that are not up to U.S. product safety codes and standards."
The new lead test kit will be composed of two ampoules filled with special testing liquids and a special testing paper. It will be very easy to use for consumers as well as for industrial and commercial uses. The new product will meet the same stringent product standards of IDenta products and is expected to yield no false positives or false negatives. Each kit will contain 10 tests which will have an extended shelf life. Pricing for each kit is expected to be less than $15.00
U.S. companies interested in selling the new product or interested in receiving samples of the new IDenta Lead tester should email Mr. Shoham directly at fpi@drugsdetector.com
ABOUT LEAD POISONING
Lead is a highly toxic substance, exposure to which can produce a wide range of adverse health effects. Both adults and children can suffer from the effects of lead poisoning but young children under the age of six are especially vulnerable to lead's harmful health effects, because their brains and central nervous system are still being formed. Low levels of exposure to lead can result in reduced IQ, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, behavioral problems, stunted growth, impaired hearing, and kidney damage. At high levels of exposure, a child may become mentally retarded, fall into a coma, and even die from lead poisoning. Lead poisoning has also been associated with juvenile delinquency and criminal behavior. Exposure to lead is estimated by measuring levels of lead in the blood (in micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has set a "level of concern" for children at 10 micrograms per deciliter.
ABOUT IDENTA

Low levels of exposure to lead can result in reduced IQ, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, behavioral problems, stunted growth, impaired hearing, and kidney damage. At high levels of exposure, a child may become mentally retarded, fall into a coma, and even die from lead poisoning. Lead poisoning has also been associated with juvenile delinquency and criminal behavior. Exposure to lead is estimated by measuring levels of lead in the blood (in micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has set a "level of concern" for children at 10 micrograms per deciliter.

That's because the market closed

BTW, Yaacov should be back home now and I haven't heard anything.
