Aero Marine Engine and Perma-Tune Electronics Announce Meetings with Foreign Engineering Firms to Discuss Oil Field Applications
RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Nov 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aero Marine Engine, Inc., (OTCBB:ARMR) and Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. (OTCBB:PTUN) jointly announced today that they have been invited to meet with representatives of several consulting and engineering firms in the Middle East in December. They plan to showcase the revolutionary Dyna-Cam Engine and advanced Plasma Ignition System, and explore their applications for electrical generation in oil fields by burning oil well waste gases.
Representatives have worked closely with engineering firms with offices in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in an attempt to determine the feasibility of these products currently being developed for the oil industry. After numerous discussions, the applicable use of Perma-Tune and Dyna-Cam products in the Middle East markets, appears to be valid. A representative from the Company will travel to the Middle East in December.
The revolutionary Dyna-Cam engine has been shown to provide the exceptionally high torque output that is required for electrical power generation. Perma-Tune's Chief Scientist stated, "The problems presented by burning waste gas from oil wells are similar to our findings while researching Dyna Cam's adaptability for burning diesel fuel. Currently these oil well waste gases are burned in large, open flames with the resulting smoke and hazardous waste by-products being released directly into the atmosphere. Burning these gasses in an engine is much less detrimental to the environment due to the fact that the engine will burn these gasses more efficiently and completely, while at the same time generating electrical power."
Perma-Tune Electronics will be showcasing its advanced Plasma Ignition System. The Plasma System has already been tested and is currently operational in oil field applications. Additionally, the venture partners are exploring the feasibility of forming an alliance in order to directly market these products throughout the region.
About Aero Marine Engine, Inc.
The Dyna-Cam engine is an internal combustion engine where the pistons drive a cam to generate power to the main shaft. The main shaft is in a parallel direction to piston movement, without connecting rods or crankshaft. The engine has approximately 40% fewer moving parts than a conventional internal combustion engine, has a greater power to weight ratio, produces high torque at low rpm, operates with less vibration, and is lighter than the competition. Additional information on Aero Marine can be found at www.aeromarineengine.com.
About Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc.
The Company designs and manufactures high-energy electronic ignition systems for street vehicles, race cars, scientific and industrial applications, space and aviation applications, as well as clean-burning alternative fuel applications. Perma-Tune sells to a well-established network of wholesale distributors. Additional information can be found at www.perma-tune.com.

U.S. Plastic Lumber Corp. Announces Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2003 Operating Results
Ocala Plant Re-Opens On a Limited Basis With Full Production Anticipated By First Q
BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- U.S. Plastic Lumber Corp. (OTCBB:USPL) today announced its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
In addition, the Company today announced that it has recently re-opened the Ocala facility on a limited production basis; which the company announced in August was temporarily shut down due to an explosion outside the plant. The Company anticipates the facility to be at full production by the end of January 2004.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2003 were $8.0 million compared with $10.6 million for the same quarter in 2002, a decrease of 25%. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales of the Company's building products and the sale of the Cornerboard packaging division in May of 2003. Net loss for the quarter was $4.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss in the third quarter of 2002 of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share. The 2002 results reflect income from discontinued operations of $4.6 million, as the Company completed the sale of its environmental recycling and remediation business on September 9, 2002. Net loss in 2003 includes $353,000 of income related to the discontinued operation. Loss from continuing operations for the three months ending September 30, 2003 was $4.7 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of $7.5 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period of a year ago. The 2003 results from continuing operations reflect lower interest and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, partially offset by higher warranty claims of approximately $1.8 million and no restructuring charges.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2003 were $28.9 million compared with $39.8 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of 27%. The Company attributed part of this decrease to not having sufficient inventory to meet the demand for its building products during the first nine months of 2003, mainly due to cash constraints and slower production rates of some of its newly formulated decking products. Revenues were also negatively impacted by the sale of the Cornerboard packaging division in May of 2003. Loss from continuing operations was $5.1 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of $14.9 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2002. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of the Cornerboard division of $4.3 million. USPL continued to benefit from substantially lower interest expense in 2003 as a result of the restructuring of the balance sheet in the second half of 2002, which resulted in lower debt levels and the elimination of certain non-cash interest charges; which had materially impacted the Company's earnings in 2002. In addition, SG&A decreased by approximately $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2003 as compared to 2002, due to cost reduction initiatives that began in late 2002 and have continued into 2003. These savings have been largely offset by increases to the Company's accrual for warranty claims related to our previously announced product recall in the nine-month period in 2003 of approximately $2.2 million, which are reflected in Cost of Goods Sold. Net loss for the first nine months of 2003 was $4.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $9.4 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2002. USPL recorded $703,000 of income from discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2003, compared with income from discontinued operations of $5,460,000 during the comparable period of 2002.
Mark Alsentzer, Chairman, CEO and President of USPL said, "We are pleased to see the improvements as a result of the cost reduction initiatives that we implemented at the end of last year. Although we have made significant progress year-to-date in reducing our SG&A expenses and our interest expense, our near-term results have been impacted by the Company's working capital constraints. The company is aggressively pursuing opportunities to further improve its balance sheet and its access to capital to enable it to meet the growing product demand and improve its overall operating performance. In addition, the Company is working diligently with its insurance carrier to return the Ocala plant to full operations in the first quarter of 2004. We believe that the demand for alternative wood products has never been stronger and reductions in costs position the Company well to re-gain profitability with increasing sales."
As previously announced, USPL received an amendment to its credit facility with its senior lender, Guaranty Business Credit Corporation ("GBCC"), to extend the maturity date of the facility to November 30, 2003. GBCC is continuing to work with the Company as it explores various strategic alternatives to restructure its debt with GBCC.

Dave,
Never let it be said that a couple of bright engineers, like us, couldn't come up with a viable solution to QFLUB's woes...!!!
If they could just run a pipeline from Feahwuss Fwankie's exhaust port to the nearest PG&E powerhouse, the corporation could earn the equivalent of the power company's "..avoided fuel cost.." - and get some Green (..and perhaps pink polka-dotted..) Recycled Energy Credits from the State of Kaleefohneeah and the FED in the process.
It'd be a bloody GOLDMINE -- better than Pride Cola, B-17 tires, and used TWA silverware even...!!!
Then we could have an iHub, SI, RB, Agora, StockHouse, and WWW "...can-drive..." for cheap beans
to keep the bulbous and blundering old twit 100% productive...!!!
"...I love it when a plan comes together......"!!!
John
Well, according to Dave - they're about to light it up. Go argue with him.
http://quotes.telenium.ca/get_quote_form?SYMB=hmg&EXCH=T
HMG.T sure beats QFLUB at $0.0001.
Note to Frank Olsen....:
Bend over and pick up the soap, Bubba...!!! You've whizzed away all your opportunities..........

Nope.

Plastic memory promises cheap, dense storage
12:25 13 November 03
NewScientist.com news service
A conducting plastic has been used to create a new memory technology with the potential to store a megabit of data in a millimetre-square device - 10 times denser than current magnetic memories. The device should also be cheap and fast, but cannot be rewritten, so would only be suitable for permanent storage.
The device sandwiches a blob of a conducting polymer called PEDOT and a silicon diode between two perpendicular wires. Substantial research effort has focused on polymer-based transistors, which could form cheap, flexible circuits, but polymer-based memory has received relatively little attention.
The key to the new technology was the discovery by researchers from Princeton University, New Jersey, and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, that passing a high current through PEDOT turns it into an insulator, rather like blowing a fuse. The polymers two possible states, conductor or insulator, then form the one and zero necessary to store digital data.
"The beauty of the device is that it combines the best of silicon technology - diodes - with the capability to form a fuse, which does not exist in silicon," says Vladimir Bulovic, who works on organic electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
However, turning the polymer INTO an insulator involves a permanent chemical change, meaning the memory can only be written to once. Its creators say this makes it ideal for archiving images and other data directly from a digital camera, cellphone or PDA, like an electronic version of film negatives.
Ion snatch
PEDOT's ability to conduct electricity means it is already used widely as the anti-static coating on camera film. But until now, no one suspected that it could be converted into an insulator.
The material is a blend of a negatively-charged polymer called PSS- and a positively-charged one called PEDT+. Having distinct, charged components allows it to conduct electricity and means that it is water soluble.
The team is not sure why it stops conducting when high currents pass through. But Princeton researcher Stephen Forrest suspects that the heat produced by a high current gives the PSS- layer sufficient energy to snatch a positively-charged hydrogen ion from any water that has dissolved on its surface, forming a neutral PSSH.
Without the negatively-charged PSS- to stabilise it, PED+ in turn grabs on to an extra electron and also becomes neutral, converting PEDOT into an insulating polymer.
Read and write
To store the memory, the researchers use the wires and the diode surrounding the PEDOT blob to run either a high or a low current through it. This either creates an insulator or leaves it as a conductor.
To read the memory, they run current through the top wire and measure the current in the bottom wire. No current means the bit is a zero, and vice versa.
In their paper in Nature, the researchers describe just one such junction. But for a memory application, the device will need many more. So the Hewlett-Packard team is now working on building a grid of intersecting wires. In this way, they can read and write multiple bits to one device. A grid system is commonly used in display screens to switch individual pixels.
Polymer devices can sprayed or printed, and are therefore much cheaper than silicon devices, which must be etched.

Jack's Surfboards - Retail Apparel Surfing Icon - To Introduce The Bluetorch(TM) Brand
LOS ANGELES, Nov 13, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BLUETORCH Inc. (formerly Aussie Apparel Group Inc.) (OTC Bulletin Board: BTOR), announced today that its subsidiary, Unboxed Distribution Inc., has received orders for its young men's Bluetorch apparel line from Jack's Surfboards an "Industry Icon" located in Huntington Beach, CA., otherwise know as Surf City USA. The orders are for the 2003 holiday season. Jack's will offer three styles each from both the Bluetorch "snow collection" and the "surf collection." Additionally, Jack's will offer the same six styles on its web site ( www.jacksurf.com ). The styles will be available in the store and on the web site as of December 5, 2003.
Bobby Abdulfattah the owner of Jack's Surfboards stated: "The graphics that Bluetorch created for the apparel are outstanding and vastly different from anything out there. We look forward to getting the goods in the store next month. Given the differentiation of the graphics, I'm also excited to introduce the product on our web site, which receives an average of 10,000 hits per day. The web is a great vehicle for cool new products such as this new Bluetorch product offering."
Stated Bruce MacGregor, President of Bluetorch Inc., "Jack's Surfboards is clearly one of the top two or three independent specialty retailers in the country. The surfing community in this country is always on the lookout for new products that are introduced by Jack's. They do an outstanding job with the extreme sports enthusiast. We're thrilled to partner with Jack's on the Bluetorch brand."
Additionally, Stewart Kawamura, National Sales Manager stated: "The Bluetorch brand will introduce a junior's line for Holiday '03 delivery. The line will be broken into three collections including snow, surf and skate. The reaction was so strong on the young men's side that retailers requested a similar product line-up on the junior's end. Fortunately, we were well down the path on this project for mid-spring 2004. Because of the strong retail demand, we were able to move the schedule up to hit the holiday season. We intend to ship the junior's with the young men's to select retailers by December 5th (2003). It is always great news when retailers push you by requesting product earlier than planned!"

Very informative.........
Hi V,
If you don't mind me butting in, I would refer you to Star Trek TNG, and how they speak to the ship's computer all the time.
That application of voice technology ( human-to-computer interface ) would be very valuable in the process industries. Operators watching CRTs and controlling various processes like gasoline production, pharmaceutical blending, synthetic fibers creation, etc., currently use the old mouse-&-click method to access the process controls.
In the future, voice recognition ( for security ) and man-machine voice interface will become the norm.
This sector of the market is so far virtually untouched and wide open. That bodes well for technolgies like IVOC's.
