Subject: Physical selection paradigm for mobile devices
This paper was presented from VTT Information Technology (Finland) at "Physical Interaction (PI03) - Workshop on Real World User Interfaces", a workshop at the Mobile HCI Conference 2003 in Udine (Italy), September 8, 2003.
http://www.vtt.fi/virtual/adamos/material/realisation_of_ps_for_mobile_devices.pdf.
ABSTRACT
Physical selection offers a promising method for using mobile
devices, such as smart phones and personal digital assistants, as
tools for communication between a human and the digitally
augmented objects and services in the environment. In this paper,
we analyse the concept from the technological perspective, and
focus on different technologies, which may be used to implement
the physical selection paradigm: visual patterns, electromagnetic
methods or infrared.

Wishful...
Sometimes I come across things that I find truly amazing and will post them for knowledge sake only.
When I read the article that FDA had actually approved an implantable chip, I remember Adoux Huxleys "Brave New Word" from a science stand point and George Orwells "1984" from a (Big Brother is Watching) security/personal invasion stand point.
I guess if one has never read either, this PR would have done little to make one ponder further; both the benefits and sometimes altogether disasterous results of modern technology.
PS: By the way, take a gander at Applied Digitals stock chart since yesterday:

FDA Approves Use of Microchip in Patients
Implanted Device Can Unlock Medical Data, but Privacy Advocates Worry
By DIEDTRA HENDERSON, AP
WASHINGTON (Oct. 14) - Privacy advocates are concerned that an implantable microchip designed to help doctors tap into a patient's medical records could undermine confidentiality or could even be used to track the patient's movements.
"If privacy protections aren't built in at the outset, there could be harmful consequences for patients," said Emily Stewart, a policy analyst at the Health Privacy Project.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for storing medical information.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and requires no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it.
The VeriChip itself contains no medical records, just codes that can be scanned and revealed in a doctor's office or hospital. With that code, doctors can unlock part of a secure database that holds the patient's medical information, including allergies and prior treatment. The electronic database, not the chip, would be updated with each medical visit.
The microchips have already been implanted in 1 million pets. But the chip's possible use to track people's movements - in addition to speeding delivery of medical information to emergency rooms - has raised alarm.
The company's chief executive officer, Scott R. Silverman, said chips implanted for medical uses could also be used for security purposes, like tracking employee movement through nuclear power plants.
Stewart said that to protect patient privacy, the devices should reveal only vital medical information, like blood type and allergic reactions, needed for health care workers to do their jobs.
An information technology guru at Detroit Medical Center said he will lobby for his center's inclusion in a VeriChip pilot program.
"One of the big problems in health care has been the medical records situation. So much of it is still on paper," said David Ellis, the center's chief futurist and co-founder of the Michigan Electronic Medical Records Initiative.
"It's part of the future of medicine to have these kinds of technologies that make life simpler for the patient," Ellis said. Strong encryption algorithms will ensure hackers can't nab medical data, he said.
The Health and Human Services Department on Wednesday announced $139 million in grants to help make real President Bush's push for electronic health records for most Americans within a decade.
William A. Pierce, an HHS spokesman, could not say whether VeriChip and its accompanying secure database of medical records fit within that initiative.
"Exactly what those technologies are is still to be sorted out," Pierce said. "It all has to respect and comport with the privacy rules."
To kickstart the chip's use among humans, Applied Digital will provide $650 scanners for free at 200 of the nation's trauma centers.
In pets, installing the chip costs owners about $50. For humans, the chip implantation cost would be $150 to $200, said Angela Fulcher, an Applied Digital spokeswoman.
Ultimately, the company hopes patients who suffer from such ailments as diabetes and Alzheimer's or who undergo complex treatments, like chemotherapy, would have chips implanted.

CDED...Powerful words
"This merger is the final element in a series of strategic activities initiated over two years ago. In anticipation of such a conclusion we have conducted meetings with government officials, major pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare organizations encompassing more than 25,000 physicians. We have also developed significant infrastructure related to our mail-order pharmacy through wireless technologies," commented Ronald Kelly, the incoming Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Next GENeSYS Corp. "We have basic agreements with multiple minority and other client organizations, providing confidence in our ability to achieve a significant presence in this market. Our ability to couple wireless connectivity solutions for doctors with a state-of-the-art e-pharmacy for direct drug distribution has the capability to revolutionize the way targeted Americans receive medications."
In addition to growing the combined companies' existing wholesale prescription drug and e-lodging businesses, Next GENeSYS Corp. will initially target the 40 million minority Americans without any presently available healthcare focus through a directed campaign, in line with stated goals of both State and Federal administrations, which offers prescription support via clinics, physician networks, and wellness checks. Industry analysts estimate this market will exceed $8 billion in 2006, and this merger creates an organization with the technology, capitalization and relationships with medical and government agencies necessary to capture market share. Participating clinics and medical practitioners will be provided wireless handheld devices, utilizing technology and infrastructure primarily developed by CareDecision, to prescribe prescription drugs through the Company's direct mail order fulfillment center.
Keith Berman, Chief Financial Officer of CareDecision Corp., a nominee for the Board of Next GENeSYS Corp., and speaking for the Board of CareDecision commented, "The current Board is satisfied that we have received fair value based on our recent counter-proposal. This merger combines organizations that are perfectly complimentary, reinforcing our key strengths, funding expansion into an underserved healthcare sector, and allowing us flexibility with our ResidenceWare electronic concierge hotel networks by creating vertical integration and communications expertise."

I got my airline tickets this past week. Post your question to CJ and CF as follows: cjensen@neom.com, cfritz@neom.com
There is a difference between public cellular Service Providers such as ATT, Verizon, Cingular, etc. and private sector companies utilizing in-house servers for inventory control or the US-DOD using military applications involving military servers.
I know that NEOM has a hugh database for access to URL's. This was one of the drawbacks cited for SemaCodes.

Europe is way in front regarding a cohesive and integrated platform which all operating systems conform to...3G. We Americans are significantly behind the times in this arena.
Undoubtedly Nokia teaming up with Intel will raise the bar. NeoMedia's newest Go-Window product is compatible with devices running either Pocket PC 2002 or Pocket PC 2003 on Intel® and non-Intel processors designed by ARM, including the Dell® Axim™ family of PDA's. The expanding PaperClick Mobile Go-Windows product line is also compatible with the popular Palm and Java operating environments. NeoMedia also supports the worldwide marketplace for SymbianOS™-based devices with PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones™, which runs on Nokia® 3600, 3620, 3650, and 3660 phones. NeoMedia is very excited about our growing line of Go-Window products," said Charles T. Jensen, the company's president, COO and acting CEO. "Adding the Pocket PC, an outgrowth of Microsoft's Windows CE product entry in the palm-top operating world, represents a significant extension of the products we can now deliver to wireless carriers and to wireless device manufacturers.

RFID Garnering Headlines...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a subject we've covered a few times over the past year, and it's an emerging technology that has gotten a lot of attention from tech analysts, retailers, suppliers and consumer groups. Recently, news flow has picked up in the RFID space again and we wanted to take a quick look at the latest developments.
For starters, our only exposure in the RFID space is through VeriSign (VRSN), which last year was tapped to run the central RFID directory system. VRSN will essentially be playing the same role for RFID in which it does for domain names - running a central database. That database was tested at the EPCglobal US Conference last week in Baltimore.
Consumer goods giants Gillette (G) and Proctor & Gamble (PG) each tested EPCglobal Network technology and services (EPC stands for "Electronic Product Code") at the show. P&G's demonstration was interesting in that the company displayed how the ability to track tagged products can keep counterfeit products off the shelves. RFID's ability to better manage the supply chain has been mentioned often, but battling counterfeiting is something we haven't heard much about, and it bodes well for the technology.
VRSN's role in the future of RFID is both central, and still largely undefined. While the company will run the central depository for RFID information, it has also hinted that it may roll out other services, much in the same way it registered domain names through its old Network Solutions unit.
RFID is still in its nascent stage when it comes to large-scale deployment, but already there are concerns that the supply of RFID tags is too high to meet demand, though there is a catch.
The ARC Advisory Group, a research firm that focuses on supply chains, said in a report earlier this week that there could be a shortage of RFID tags that meet standards because there are only two primary vendors, both privately-held, Alien Technology and Matrics. Retail giant Wal-Mart (WMT) has already backed off on a previous demand that would have forced its 100 largest suppliers to ship products on RFID-enabled pallets by January 2005. For now, the company is working with suppliers and running a pilot program for its distribution centers in the Dallas, TX area.
The supply problem, however, is really a demand problem, as Alien and Matrics say they haven't received large, firm orders yet for tags, and won't increase production until they do. Major chipmakers like Texas Instruments (TXN) are waiting on the international standards group (ISG), the same one which awarded VRSN the directory system deal, to finalize standards before entering the standard-compliant market. Nonetheless, a number of big names are preparing to assault the RFID space.
In the past few weeks alone, news reports and press releases indicate that Microsoft (MSFT), IBM (IBM), SAP (SAP), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Infineon (IFX) are all preparing products for the RFID space or are beginning to invest serious dollars into RFID product development. At the same time, a wild card has emerged, as China, Japan and Korea may jointly develop a separate RFID standard than the U.S. and Europe are prepared to subscribe to. Likewise, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is beginning its first serious examination of RFID.
We last looked at RFID a few months ago, noting that the story is still developing, and that quality investment opportunities in the space are few and far between. We still believe this is the case, but we also feel that we'll begin to get some visibility in this area over the next year.
For now, VRSN will continue to have dominante exposure in the RFID space. Though RFID will not have an immediate revenue impact on the company, VRSN's role in the proliferation of RFID will position it in a sweet spot to provide suppliers and retailers with services that it can neatly combine with its existing Internet and telecom infrastructure services.

Look at TASR, XM Satelite, Serius Satelite, etc. to get a feel for large float companies that went balistic when their technology took off. Right now, 334 Mil. outstanding shares may still not be a hugh number in comparison to the demand for NEOM's technology when they ink their first US Service Provider contract. Most important are their patents behind their technologies. All the Best, JP

I'm sure you're not ignorant my friend. A VC could be brought in and acquire a % of shares to be held in lock-up. It may mean loosing an equal % in ownership, but the management wouldn't have to give away much more than maybe 20% or so. This is one of countless creative financial deals which could be struck that are non-dilutive and non-toxic. I am not a securities attorney, but we all believe there are much better financial arrangements out there than the one we have had for years now with the likes of Cornell capital. All the Best, JP

The thing I don't get is...
why is there a glut of shares being consistently sold bought here at the $0.023 to $0.028 range?
IMO the majority of shareholders this past year have not bought anywhere near these rock bottom levels, so they would not sell for a profit at these levels either.
Are we in essence watching an exchange of shares being sold to Kelly Co. by CDED in the open market? Is the fact that very few others long term investors are buying, giving Kelly Co. an advantage in their favor? All the Best, JP
