1. What is the situation with foreign patents? Are they more labor intensive
then US? More difficult? Is this going to hold up NVs global strategies? Or
do you expect to have patent pending protection in place once global
strategies are announced?

Foreign patents are no more difficult if you know the language. Our
domestic filings serve to establish the timing for filing in all those
foreign countries that participate in the treaty regarding patents.

2. Media Blitz? Are we now underway?

It depends on how you define Blitz.

3. You have mentioned in the past as waking up one day to a new corporate
structure. Would that be a partnership with other companies in order to
develop the different applications? And someone from one or more of those
companies added to NVs board?

Maybe
4. Or would that new corporate structure come from an aquistion? And new
board members from there?

Maybe

5. Would it be a safe bet some or all of those players mentioned in the
Cambridge PR be involved when talking about possible partners? Ones who
would
help with their recources and bring us to market faster? And gain instant
credibility? This all make sense? Or just part of it?

If they were our partners it would sure be a safe bet that they would make
sense for us.

6. Rays overseas trips. Obviously they had something to do with Cambridge.
But can you expand at this time on what other activities took place while
over there?

Tea on the lawn.
