VIASPACE Receives Contract From Major Japanese Corporation for SHINE Expert System
(PR Newswire 04/22 08:45:09)

PASADENA, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), a company commercializing proven technologies from
NASA and the US Department of Defense, reported that it has received a
contract from a major Japanese corporation for a software project involving
the SHINE (Spacecraft Health Inference Engine) inference engine/expert system
software and its sensor fusion capabilities. The nature of the contract and
the Japanese corporation were not revealed because of a confidentiality
agreement.
VIASPACE has a license from Caltech to commercialize the SHINE real-time
inference engine software technology with the exclusive rights for most major
applications including defense applications, homeland defense, maritime
security and diagnostics/prognostics. SHINE was originally developed by the
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to monitor hundreds of sensors on spacecraft in
real-time. SHINE is a real-time inference engine/expert system that is more
than 100 times faster than competing technologies, and has a small memory
footprint which enables it to run on commercial microcontrollers and
microprocessors.
Carl Kukkonen, CEO of VIASPACE, commented: "We are pleased to begin this
new effort in pursuit of several solutions for this major customer. Our
customer's identity needs to be protected at this point in order to provide
them with the competitive advantage they are seeking by partnering with
VIASPACE. We believe that our sensor data fusion and SHINE inference engine
technologies will play a key role in their new generation of 'smart'
products."
Kukkonen continued, "VIASPACE believes that SHINE has broad reaching
capabilities in areas such as diagnostics and prognostics, medical systems,
manufacturing and plant management, finance and even video games."
About VIASPACE: Originally founded in 1998 with the objective of
transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the
Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that solve today's
complex problems, VIASPACE benefits from important patent and software
licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
