US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week Symbol: MBTT Market: OTC.BB Sector: ELECTRONICS Before we begin our profile we have very exciting, breaking news... Renowned Satellite Industry Expert Dr. Arthur R. Tilford Joins MB Tech BREAKING NEWS - (PRIMEZONE) - MB Tech, Inc. (OTC.BB: MBTT) announces that Dr. Arthur R. Tilford, formerly with Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH), has been retained by the Company to provide technical consulting and advisory services. Tilford is an aerospace industry veteran responsible for a total of 11 patents and patent applications within the field, having received Hughes' Chairman's Award for DirecDuo, solo engineering efforts in 1997. He is an expert system designer and Federal Licensing and Certifying Engineer. He has authored several books, including Satellite Fieldbook Quarterly(c) -- Hughes S&C, CA, the contents of which describe all parameters of every C/Ku band geo-satellite in the world and the over 400 page Satellite Workbook(c) for use in satellite engineering classes, taught by him, at the California State University (CSUF at CSULB). Tilford worked with Netune Communications, where he was responsible for providing transponder allocations, domestic and international link-budget calculations for narrow to very-wide-band satellite system and writing, calculating and applying for FCC and RA transmit licenses. He also assigned parameters for RF sub-system design and is an expert in radiation hazard compliance. Hanwook Bae, President of MB Tech, commented, ``The importance of Dr. Tilford joining the Company cannot be underestimated. He is an industry leader with numerous patents relating to antenna design and an immense knowledge of the satellite Internet market. His incredible technical knowledge will allow us to dramatically step up our new initiatives, catapulting us to the forefront of our industry.'' He added, ``This is yet another positive step forward in the overall paradigm shift for the Company. We have moved from being a manufacturer of satellite components, to a Company that will lead the consumer satellite electronics industry.'' STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) converters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive and convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the satellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio and military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connected to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simultaneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which provides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a single dish. TECHNOLOGY MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units more efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializes in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do. An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable signal. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allows the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipment, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with larger American based technology companies about the technology. PRODUCTS MB Tech products are innovative! We rely on superior technology to be an integral part of our business. We have made a serious committment to ongoing R&D to stay ahead of the curve. MB Tech, Inc traces its roots back to 2000 with the development of 3 types of LNB (DSS type). Continuous reinvention and rapid transformation are themes throughout our history. Led by our top-notch technology, our company offered a new breed of satellite broadcasting solutions to clients?solutions that customized LNB with 3 or 4 horns. Click here to see our product milestones. Within the next two years, MB Tech will spend over 80 million dollars on continuing Research and development of our products. We will continue a process of product renewal that will assure products with features and functionality that will be attractive to the market. MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending. Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences. The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive. >From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase. TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.

Sluttrapport foreligger, denne gang p? engelsk. Det ble 92 sider... Se http://metanav.ntnu.no/tigaNAV/tigaNAV.pdf Rapporten legger frem en masse resultater. Kort oppsummert s? er NAV v3 4 m?neder forsinket, vi hadde 1/10 som betatestdato for NTNU, n? sier vi 1/2-04. Vi sier videre: des-jan: alfatesting av NAV project team feb-mar: betatest av ITEA nett+sdrift + UiT? + HiMolde des-apr: bugfiks + fedigstilling planlagte features. apr 2: fullverdig v3 stabil og tilgjengelig for UH mai 15: deadline for nav-users for feature request NAV v3.1 jun 1: req spec NAV 3.1 deadline sommer-04: utvikling NAV 3.1 Vi setter i disse dager opp testl?p for januar der vi noks? grundig tester og fikser hvert enkelt deltsystem. Revidert tidsplan som n? foreligger skal vi holde. Som dere ser har vi spurt UiT? og HiMolde om ? komme f?rst inn som betatestere foruten NTNU. Det er de positive til. Spesielt interesserte kan f? rapporten tilsendt i trykket variant, si i s? fall i fra. Jeg nevner her for ordens skyld at jeg skifter arbeidsgiver fra nytt?r, fra NTNU til UNINETT. Dette vil _ikke_ f? konsekvenser for NAVs vel og ve. Det er et stort team bak NAV p? NTNU og NTNU har definitivt egeninteresse av ? jobbe videre med produktet. Det man imidlertid m? se p? er driftssiden, da bugfiksing, nav-users, oppf?lging etc koster og det er urimelig at NTNU selv skal sponse dette (UNINETT har gitt oss utviklingsst?tte, ikke driftsst?tte). En modell er en fornuftig priset (selvkostbasert) ?rlig driftskostnad. Jeg vil heller ikke slippe NAV helt med mitt jobbskifte, da UNINETT naturligvis er interessert i NAV. Jeg ?nsker i det minste ? koordinere aktiviteten frem mot april, n?r NAV v3 foreligger. Uansett: God lesning! Og God Jul!!! vennligst - Vidar

Hei Problemstillingen du tar opp her tror jeg det er mange som er opptatt av, og en glup l?sning av problemet ville bli tatt imot med stor glede. P? H?gskolen i Narvik har vi iverksatt et tiltak, som hverken er galant eller arbeidsbesparende, men det har gitt oss positiv effekt. P? switchene som betjener data-saler, fellesrom som bibliotek o.l og har fast oppkoblede maskiner, har vi ganske enkelte satt "enable port security" p? switchene. Samtidig har vi g?tt ut med informasjon til v?re brukere om dette, og redegjort for konsekvensene og de ulempene det medf?rer med at porten l?ses dersom man napper ut en allerede oppkoblet PC. Vi har ogs? i kj?lvannet av dette etablert et tr?dl?st tilbud internt p? H?gskolen hvor vi filtrerer p? MAC-adresser, og som gj?r at de med b?rbar har full mulighet for oppkobling til nettet etter ? ha f?tt registrert sin MAC-adresse hos IT-Seksjonen. For grupperom og fellesrom for studenter har vi satt opp et NAT'et lan i 192.168.xxx.xxx via en Linux-boks, og et sett med FW-regler i IP-tables hvor studentene kan koble opp sitt private utstyr. Sporbarheten til de enkelte maskinene, ogs? p? tr?dl?s-sida og i det NAT'ede nettet ivaretas p? en utmerket m?te av NAV, og NAV har ogs? i mange tilfeller hjulpet oss med ? finne maskiner som har v?rt ?rsak til port-sperring i det MAC-adressen som er ?rsak til sperring blir liggende i ARP-tabellen p? switchen. Det som jeg ser som den st?rste fordelen etter at vi innf?rte denne praksisen, er n? at studentene selv i stor grad passer p? at ikke uvedkommende pr?ver seg p? "open jack", og denne "justisen" er langt mer effektiv, en de formaninger som kommer fra IT-Seksjonen. V?r praksis gir jo ekstraarbeid, men er jo overkommelig p? en s?pass liten H?gskole som vi er, men vi har vurdert, og vil pr?ve p? sikt ? f? til et mer "automatisert" system som ogs? b?r inneholde en brukerverifisering. Ut i fra det svaret som Vidar ga deg skaper han en del forventninger hos meg n?r det gjelder ny versjon av NAV. Ellers vil jeg v?re takknemlig dersom andre har input p? hvordan slike problemer h?ndteres. mvh Ketil > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-nav-users(a)itea.ntnu.no > [mailto:owner-nav-users@itea.ntnu.no] On Behalf Of Christian Ramstad > Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 2:07 PM > To: nav-users(a)itea.ntnu.no; nettdrift(a)hio.no; Bj?rn Torvatn > Subject: VMPS, noen erfaringer? > > > > Hei, > > Denne henvendelsen har ikke noe direkte med NAV ? gj?re, men jeg tror > ikke den er helt uttafor heller... > > Saken: > > Vi ?nsker ? f? bedre kontroll p? personer som kopler opp > b?rbart utstyr > via tr?dfaste punkter, der det m?tte passe, i nettet v?rt. > > Slik det er n? s? gj?r folk f?lgende: > > - Kopler seg p? nettet via tilgjengelige aktiviserte (av IT) RJ45 > punkter.

***SPAM*** TECH SECTOR - Technology Breakthrough - Patents Filed...izzy
by hcjkvp6＠yahoo.com 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

TECHNOLOGY SECTOR - TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH - PATENTS FILED Symbol: NMMG Market: OTC.BB Sector: L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 claims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) architecture. The OnScreen LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutionize the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market. This breakthrough technology will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market. With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Intelligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing of new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG and its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way. NMMG currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc. Imagine one day you are driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand times before--but this time you notice something different. This time you see a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spilled. The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety. Such a warning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology. You never noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was draped over the sign all this time. Now it has sprung into action by the punch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the nick of time. You have just experienced OnScreen technology. And that is just one example. The possibilities are limitless. And because OnScreen can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its cost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice. NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT conference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mateo, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual forum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as well as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of these devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this event, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50% since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries have stagnated or experienced large declines. ON-SCREEN TECHNOLOGY OnScreen is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays. OnScreen will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the issues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading and excessive weight. In addition, the new LED architecture produces an advantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight, pliable display that can fit any application. These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006. In addition, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this market. COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual property (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and components. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alone, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number is accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED displays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applications such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway intelligent message transfer. THE MARKET An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that the outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that our large members say they're having a great first quarter in 2003. They go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display and measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most exciting news is coming on the display side, where Lamar Advertising is converting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at will and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute. They added that Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being converted to LED as well. Together these companies represent two of the three largest outdoor US advertisers. Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expanding the Amber Alert network nationwide. The highly publicized success in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abduction in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion of these variable-message signs. Homeland Security issues have also increased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 roadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Japan alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States represents a huge growth market for LED displays. GROWTH OPPORTUNITES In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exciting application for OnScreen arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic curved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or really virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen provides unlimited opportunity for creativity. The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen will also provide ample opportunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen's unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curved implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existing vehicles. Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant message transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages of OnScreen. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower the cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also reduce the cost to install and maintain them.
