This patent protects developments pertinent to CTC Cable's proprietary ACCC(TM) Conductor and Core. CTC Cable Corporation now holds seven United States patents relating to its ACCC(TM) Conductor, Core and Hardware Accessories, with additional patent applications pending. CTC Cable Corporation is pursuing corresponding patent applications in many other countries throughout the world. Benton H Wilcoxon, CEO of CTC, stated, "This additional patent increases the strength of our intellectual property portfolio and progresses our strategy to protect valuable ACCC(TM) Conductor and Core products." About CTC: Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA, develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation products through its subsidiaries: -- CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented ACCC* (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) conductors, which are "high efficiency conductors" for use in electrical transmission grid systems. ACCC conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with conventional conductors and when deployed in place of conventional conductors on existing systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC conductors enables power generators to reduce the amount of power they must generate while still delivering the same power to the customers. They have also demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and operating expenses when substituted in grid systems for other conductors. ACCC conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts, providing a 'reserve electrical capacity' by operating at higher temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors are an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines, constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite core is delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC conductor production and resale into local markets. -- DeWind Inc. designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of wind energy turbines, including the new 2 megawatt (MW) D8.2 model in both 60Hz and 50Hz, the 2MW D8 model in 50Hz, and the 1.25MW D6 model in 50Hz. The D8.2 has been operating since early 2007 at Cuxhaven, Germany, and utilizes the advanced WinDrive(R) hydrodynamic torque converter developed by Voith AG in combination with a synchronous AC generator with high voltage output synchronized directly to the grid without the use of power conversion electronics. The first 60Hz D8.2 is now operating at Sweetwater, Texas. DeWind D8.2 turbines are now being assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Co., in Texas for our North and South American customers. *ACCC is a trademark of CTC Cable Corporation Nov 25, 2008 -- Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT/FRANKFURT: PO8), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, today issued an analysis of the increased incidence of both community and hospital acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA, occur most frequently among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities (such as nursing homes and dialysis centers) who have weakened immune systems. UNDT's Vital Oxide is truly the Ultimate Odorless Odor Eliminator. Vital Oxide eliminates odors on contact without leaving an odor of its own and actually kills 99.9% of bacteria it comes in contact with, including the MRSA (Super-Bug). Vital Oxide is not a "cocktail" of harmful chemicals that are not good for you or the environment. The general population learned the extend of the MRSA threat last fall when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention set off a media frenzy with its announcement that invasive MRSA infections claim at least 18,000 lives a year, more than AIDS. However, MRSA has been quietly killing for decades. MRSA infections that occur in otherwise healthy people who have not been recently (within the past year) hospitalized or had a medical procedure (such as dialysis, surgery, catheters) are known as community-associated (CA)-MRSA infections. These infections are usually skin infections, such as abscesses, boils, and other pus-filled lesions. (CA)-MRSA has become a growing concern with athletes including the national football league (NFL). According to a recent report on the increased reports of MRSA in the NFL: "MRSA is getting nastier because there are now multiple strains of it and because football is a game where cuts are common. So-called community MRSA is caught in the locker room, then mixes with the nastier type in a hospital when you go in for treatment." UNDT's line of anti-bacterial sprays have been specifically designed to be effective against MRSA. Studies on the product show that areas treated with the solution not only become disinfected, but also no new stains appear on the treated area for up to 7 days. "The threat of Community MRSA is becoming more and more evident everyday and we have developed products to counter the threat," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chief Executive Officer. "Every school and university needs to implement strict disinfection techniques to insure the safety of the students," he added. About Universal Detection Technology Universal Detection Technology is a developer of monitoring technologies, including bioterrorism detection devices. The Company on its own and with development partners is positioned to capitalize on opportunities related to Homeland Security. For example, the Company, in cooperation with NASA, has developed a bacterial spore detector that detects certain biohazard substances. The Company is also a reseller of handheld assays used for detection of five bioterrorism agents, radiation detection systems, and antimicrobial products. Nov 25, 2008 -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTCBB: VSPC) today presented an overview of the company's strategy for future profitability. VIASPACE CEO Dr. Carl Kukkonen reports, "I want to discuss the changes that we are making to help ensure that the company will reap large profit potential from our green energy business. VIASPACE's recent acquisition of the profitable company Inter-Pacific Arts (IPA) with its license for fast-growing high yield grass will be a key to our success. The acquisition has perplexed some of our investors and I hope that this CEO report will offer some clarity. The IPA profit and positive cash flow is extremely important for the short term, and the grass business is expected to be very profitable in the near future. These new businesses will further diversify VIASPACE--expanding the investor audience to include agricultural and biofuel investors in addition to the current investor base banking on the Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation high-tech fuel-cell potential." "VIASPACE plans to nurture and expand the IPA framed art business which has generated $5.1 million in sales and $1.5 million in profit (unaudited) in the first three quarters of 2008 (an audit is in progress). The previous owner of IPA has signed on to continue running this business for a minimum of two years. The profits from the framed art business will be reinvested into growing and selling our licensed fast-growing grass for the $40 billion per year animal feed market and as a feedstock for the $25 billion per year biofuels market." "VIASPACE plans to continue to support its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation subsidiary (DMFCC), which makes disposable fuel cell cartridges for fuel cell powered portable electronic devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones expected to be introduced into the marketplace by OEMs including Samsung, Toshiba and Panasonic. DMFCC has received cartridge development contracts from Samsung and from CMR Fuel Cells. DMFCC also holds important and valuable direct methanol fuel cell licenses from Caltech and University of Southern California. DMFCC remains an important part of our green energy strategy as this market has enormous potential." "VIASPACE will significantly reduce its cash needs by major cuts in spending on yet-to-be-profitable business lines. VIASPACE will focus on its profitable framed art business and expand the development of the green energy grass business. Most yet-to-be-profitable business lines will be sold, scaled back or put on hold, and cost reductions will also come from reducing management and staffing from these areas. With the credit meltdown and the stock market crash, it is difficult and very expensive to raise debt or equity capital to fund business lines that are not profitable. VIASPACE has to generate sufficient funds through sales and contracts to cover our operating expenses. We expect that having a positive cash flow will assure VIASPACE's success, and should increase shareholder value. If we reduce our need to issue additional equity for cash, there should be less selling pressure on the stock and we expect that the market will react favorably to our future plans. The VIASPACE Board of Directors feels these changes will help to move VIASPACE forward and the focus on green energy will lead to increased value for our investors." About VIASPACE VIASPACE was founded in 1998 and became public in 2005. VIASPACE's direct methanol fuel cell intellectual property was licensed from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the direct methanol fuel cell was invented. VIASPACE is focused on green energy through its fuel cell cartridges, and the license for fast-growing grass as a feedstock for nonfood crop biofuels, and with current grass markets as feed for dairy cows, pigs, sheep, goats, fish and other animals. Nov 25, 2008 -- Electric car pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) is providing fleets with a better solution when it comes to 100 percent electric, plug-in transportation with the introduction of its four-wheel ZAP Truck XL. The new addition to ZAP's line offers an 800 pound payload. Electric trucks like ZAP's new XL fill a growing niche for fleets and small businesses that demand more flexibility and economy in their vehicle mix. The XL is a robust four-wheel truck with ample cab space and payload capacity making it ideal for industrial and utility fleet purposes. In the United States, it meets full DOT requirements for 25 MPH Low Speed Vehicles. As part of ZAP's global distribution strategy, the XL will be designed to meet or exceed government certifications for most of the world. The ZAP Truck XL is able to drive up to thirty miles on a charge. From a standard 110 volt outlet the ZAP Truck XL recharges in about six hours and an 80 percent charge in just four hours. ZAP offers optional upgrades to 220 volt charging for faster charging. MSRP on the truck is $14,950. "We love it!" said Richard Ghilotti of Ghilotti Construction in Santa Rosa, California, which operates more than 100 vehicles in its fleet and is the first customer for the ZAP Truck XL. "Now we have an all-electric truck to run mail, parts and odd-jobs which don't require a big diesel or gas truck." Ghilotti has made a comprehensive effort to follow green practices and invest in renewable construction techniques and technologies. Recently Ghilotti opened a new green headquarters in Santa Rosa where the electric trucks will be used. The larger truck presents an opportunity for ZAP dealers to reach out to local fleets looking for larger payload electric vehicles that will help them save capital costs while helping protect the environment. The electric utility vehicle is also practical for consumers and small business owners. ZAP estimates the XL truck costs between one and three cents per mile to fuel. Fewer moving parts mean less overall maintenance than gas. Operating costs are about half that of a small gas truck over a three year period. Furthermore, a California Air Resources Board study shows electric vehicles can reduce emissions by more than 90 percent over gasoline, including the emissions from power plants. About ZAP ZAP has been a leader in electric transportation since 1994, delivering over 100,000 vehicles to consumers in more than 75 countries. ZAP manufactures a line of electric vehicles, including electric city-cars and trucks, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, and ATVs. ZAP sells some of the only electric city-cars and trucks in production today and is developing a high-performance electric vehicle called the ZAP Alias. The Company recently announced a strategic partnership with Dubai-based Al Yousuf Group to expand its international vehicle distribution.
