Core Wafer and Agilent, Integrated Partners or What?

The Jan 4, 2012 PRNewswire press release, "Action Products International Announces Acquisition of Core Wafer Systems, Inc," states that "CWS is an integrated partner of the world's premier measurement company, Agilent Technologies"

To be clear, I don't question whether CWS has been a partner with Agilent in the past. I question whether CWS is still a partner as the press release suggests. Here's my DD:

The following products are listed and are the ONLY products listed on the Core Wafer website:
• 4070 PDQ-WLR for SPECS »
• ASUR SDR Test Executive »
• ASUR SDR Office Test Executive »
• ASUR RDA »
• ASUR PDQ-WLR »
• ASUR PDQ-PARA »
• PDQ-FAB »
• PC for ASUR »

A search for these products on Agilent's website reveals that every one has either been discontinued or the search simply does not produce a result.
Agilent Technologies

Pasted here are some of my search results:
C1281A ASUR Single Device Reliability (ASUR SDR) Discontinued
C1282A ASUR Reliability Data Analyzer (ASUR RDA) Discontinued
Production Wafer-Level Reliability (PDQ-WLR) Discontinued
ASUR PDQ-PARA: No Results Found.
Reliability and Parametric Test Consulting Discontinued (PDQ-FAB).

In fact, if you just enter "Core Wafer" in the search field, you get three results, all DISCONTINUED, but nothing else about Core Wafer.

Again, I am NOT saying that Core Wafer has not partnered with Agilent in the past; I'm saying there is no evidence on Agilent's website that they are CURRENTLY in an "integrated partnership" with CWS as claimed.

Curiously, Agilent does offer this product:
Agilent PDQ-WLR TM Test and Analysis Software Environment

If you download the PDF, you will find a document that, except for minor differences on the first page, looks exactly like this one on Core Wafer's website:
ASUR-PDQ-WLR including the fact that "Core Wafer" is NOT on either document. Next to Agilent's name on the last page of both is Sandia Technologies. Core Wafer offers ASUR-PDQ-WLR as their OWN product, so why isn't their name on it???

What is going on?

Can anyone provide any independent evidence that CWS is presently in an "integrated partnership" with Agilent?

If no one can, what does this suggest about the truthfulness of the PRNewswire press releases, which CWS/APII pay for? How about contract claims in the millions? Are they true?

AP-i-yi!!
