Mikros Systems Corporation’s Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset Earns Top Scores in Navy’s Trident Warrior 2009 Experiment
Wed ,16/12/2009PR Newswire, Dec 1, 2009
PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Mikros Systems Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: MKRS) , announced today that its Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset (ADEPT) product received the highest scores possible in the US Navy’s Trident Warrior experiment in 2009.
Mikros demonstrated ADEPT’s capability to perform advanced distance support for the US Navy’s Aegis System. During the experiment, ADEPT was used to transfer health and performance data for the SPY-1 radar using secure data links. This information was viewed in near-real-time by subject matter experts in California, while the ship performed maneuvers in the Atlantic Ocean.
Each technology demonstrated during the Trident Warrior experiment receives a final grade, which is used to establish its overall utility to the Government. This grade is presented to high-level military planners and is often used to determine future budgets and resource allocations for the technologies demonstrated. The Military Utility Assessment process for Trident Warrior 2009 was completed last week and ADEPT received the highest grades possible. “This is a very important achievement,” states Tom Meaney, Mikros President. “We have been told that ADEPT was one of the best Trident Warrior experiments this year. We would expect that these stellar results will help us maintain the funding levels currently proposed for the program, and make it easier to secure the future funding needed to grow the program in support of other radar and electronic systems.”
The company anticipates the award of a five-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for immediate and future procurement of ADEPT systems, as well as continued research, development, and lifecycle support. This contract is in the final stages of the Government audit process. Once this is complete, Mikros anticipates another 30 to 45-day negotiation period before contract award. The initial award will include orders for 10 to 35 ADEPT systems, with additional orders for more systems and continued development and support thereafter. Mikros believes that this contract, if awarded, could generate up to $4-5 million annually for the Company over the next 5 years.

IVANS Continues to Streamline Reporting to State Departments of Motor Vehicles
Wed ,16/12/2009Business Wire, April 28, 2004
Business Editors
OLD GREENWICH, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 28, 2004
Provides Automated Process for SR22/26 Filings in Arizona and
Announces Support for New South Carolina Reporting Program
IVANS, Inc. announced today the expansion of its state department of motor vehicle reporting services to include the submission of SR22/26 filings in Arizona and support for South Carolina’s recently announced mandatory automobile liability insurance reporting program.
IVANS completed its first successful SR22/26 implementation in Arizona with Safeway Insurance, using the required X12 data standard format. “Safeway was already using IVANS software and EDI mailboxing for auto liability insurance reporting in the state of Arizona,” said Donald Bright, mainframe manager, Safeway Insurance. “Adding SR22/26 filings frees us from submitting paper and benefits our insureds since information sent electronically is received faster and more accurately,” continued Bright.
Certain high risk or problem drivers are required by some state financial responsibility (FR) laws to ask their insurers to file an SR22 form (a certification of future proof of financial responsibility) with the state motor vehicle department. An SR26 form cancels the SR22 once future proof is no longer required. Failure to report can result in the driver’s license being suspended. The state of Arizona recently announced the ability to receive SR22/26 filings electronically to improve this process with insurers.
IVANS currently provides Automobile Liability Insurance Reporting (ALIR) solutions to 102 insurers and managing general agents, for more than 20 states. “With the recent announcement by the state of South Carolina insurers are required to submit using the X12 data format,” according to Janice Sheffield, divisional vice president, IVANS. “Insurers can begin now, but must be in production with South Carolina’s new program by mid-September 2004. We have already begun delivering South Carolina to customers.”
IVANS provides insurers and managing general agents with an end-to-end ALIR solution to report to one or all 20 states, whether the state required data format is X12 or proprietary. With new states implementing each year and existing states making changes to programs, it is a challenge for carriers and MGAs to stay compliant.

Digital Innovation Firm Zemoga Launches Augmented Reality Practice
Wed ,16/12/2009Business Wire, Dec 01, 2009
Leading Firm Brings Cutting-Edge Technology to the Masses through
Uniquely Engaging Marketing Campaigns for Top Brands
NEW YORK — Zemoga,
a pioneering digital marketing and innovation firm, today announced the
launch of its augmented reality (AR) practice, designed to further the
companys work in this groundbreaking technology that has taken the
marketing world by storm.
The technical definition of augmented reality is the interaction of
superimposed graphics, audio and other sense enhancements over a
real-world environment displayed in real-time. What this means for
consumers is the ability to interact with a brands imaginary world in
an entirely new and compelling way.
Zemoga recently launched a popular AR campaign for Wise Cheez Doodles
snacks that demonstrated how consumers, particularly teens and tweens in
this case, could actively engage with a brand. The interactive Rock the
Cheez game (http://www.cheezdoodles.com/rock-the-cheez.htm)
encouraged young consumers to use a variety of art materials to build
their own stage on which the Cheez Dudes, new brand mascots in the
form of an alt-rock band, could perform. With the use of a webcam and
digital codes available online, consumers could bring the Cheez Dudes to
life, creating a music video in which they perform in the consumers own
homemade surroundings.
Although augmented reality is a buzzword these days, Zemoga has been
experimenting with this technology for quite some time, anticipating the
needs of marketers and honing their expertise to bring campaigns to
market successfully. The agency had encountered considerable success in
creating cutting-edge 3D flash animation for its clients and found
augmented reality derived from flash interacting with a web camera
to be a natural evolution.
Though AR has invaded the pop culture world of popular consumer brands
and magazines, Zemoga began by demonstrating the successful use of AR as
a tool for education and instruction in the medical/pharmaceutical
industry. We built the prototype of the human heart and could visually
demonstrate in a dynamic 3D environment the effect a new drug would have
on the heart, explained Zemoga CEO and co-founder, DJ Edgerton. For
medical devices such as inhalers or pacemakers, we created augmented
reality versions of those devices, which are the perfect application to
clearly convey precisely how that device would operate.
Health care is one industry that has already begun a rapid adoption to
use AR to inform and educate physicians, caregivers and patients, said
Zemoga President and co-founder, Alejandro Gomez. We look forward to
creating further innovations with this technology and implementing it
into a broad spectrum of industries as a catalyst for community,
creativity and education.

Zemoga is an award-winning digital innovation firm that specializes in
the creation of meaningful and engaging interactive experiences and

Mythical magnets
Tue ,08/12/2009Flex, Jan, 2010 by Greg Merritt, Jim Stoppani
Maybe you’ve seen magnetic jewelry being worn by certain athletes and other celebrities. But wearing it will make you look like that dude who wears his earpiece in the gym and everywhere else. Don’t go there. Besides the fashion faux pas, wearing magnets is stupid for another reason: they don’t offer any real benefits
