LLSR News:

July 8 - Lantis Laser's OCT Dental Imaging System Will Drive the New Era of Minimally Invasive Dentistry

From Lantis Laser, Inc. (OTC: LLSR): Fluoride and its protection against tooth decay are well documented. Its action is best on the smooth surfaces of teeth. So, what about all those pits and fissures on the biting surface where decay is most prevalent? Recently, a new generation of topical products has been developed that have the ability to remineralize enamel from the bottom up, therefore reversing that dreaded decay, but only when detected very early on.

The list of products that can be used to arrest or reverse the decay process include amorphous calcium phosphate, fluoride varnishes, fluoride rinses and disinfecting mouth rinses. For the successful implementation of these treatments, early detection of decay is essential but is difficult with present day dental diagnostics as no imaging modalities provide the level of resolution required for early detection so that minimally invasive treatment with topical products can be prescribed. This is a barrier to the wider adoption of Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) and the dental profession is fully aware of this.

According to Dr. Craig Gimbel, Executive Vice President of Clinical Affairs for Lantis Laser, Inc, "The introduction of Lantis' Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Dental Imaging System in the first quarter of 2009 will enable dentists to non-invasively image what they never were able to do before - the microstructure of teeth at a high resolution to detect early decay, using just light."

Dr. Gimbel continued, "Even x-rays are not capable of imaging early decay in those tiny pits and fissures. OCT will drive a new generation of MID and every dental office will require an OCT System to diagnose and treat very early decay." Dr Gimbel points out "both the dentist and the patients they treat can only benefit. Early diagnosis means possibly you may avoid that dreaded dental drill."

Research studies have shown that OCT technology can provide evidence for early decay demineralization and then follow the process of remineralizing, all without the risk of radiation.

Lantis' OCT Dental Imaging System is based on novel light-based, bio-medical imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography, that enables the dentist to do diagnostic imaging, chairside and in real-time. As the power source is light-based, unlike x-ray there is no harmful radiation. Images can be captured at a resolution of up to 10 times that of x-ray, enabling early detection of decay and detailed examination of microstructural defects.

July 7 - Record-High Petroleum Prices a Boon to BioSolar

Company's Cost-Saving Bio-Based Materials for Photovoltaic Solar Modules Poised to Decrease Industry's Oil Dependence

BioSolar, Inc. (OTCBB: BSRC) reports that surging oil prices have resulted in unprecedented price hikes in photovoltaic solar module manufacturing, creating substantial growth opportunities for BioSolar. The company’s breakthrough technology dramatically reduces the cost of solar modules by replacing traditional and expensive petroleum-based components with bio-based materials derived from renewable plant sources. This dramatic pricing differential is expected to accelerate demand for BioSolar’s products as manufacturers scramble to control skyrocketing manufacturing and components costs.

“With the plastics industry undergoing price increases of up to 40% for petroleum-based plastics, we believe that the cost savings offered by our BioBacksheet™ product will accelerate manufacturers’ adoption of our product into their photovoltaic modules,” said Dr. David Lee, BioSolar’s CEO. “The savings will reduce the final cost per watt of solar electricity by allowing manufacturers to lower the cost of their finished product without being impacted by the rising cost of petroleum.”

A recent article in PlasticsNews underscores how manufacturers are impacted by price increases of commodity chemicals, as well as "almost unprecedented" run-ups in energy and raw materials costs. The June 22, 2008 article notes that companies are impacted not only by rising raw materials costs, but the associated electricity and transportation costs as well. Kevin Swift, chief economist at the American Chemistry Council, says, "Each $1 increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil costs the chemical industry $660 million annually …For a $1 increase in 1 million BTUs of natural gas, it's $3.3 billion in new costs."

“The market for solar power is already in explosive growth mode, and photovoltaic technology has progressed markedly in recent years with advances making the cells more efficient, lighter and less expensive. But BioSolar is singularly positioned to lead the development of truly sustainable and cost-effective solar technology as the first company to introduce a new dimension of cost reduction by replacing petroleum-based plastic solar cell module components with durable non-food, bio-based materials,” said Lee.

BioSolar is in the process of transitioning into full-scale production of its BioBacksheet™ in a 60,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility operated by its contract manufacturing partner, Rowland Technologies, Inc.

By incorporating Rowland Technologies’ world-class manufacturing capabilities with BioSolar’s unique material engineering, BioSolar is producing an environmentally-friendly product with characteristics that exceed the thermal index requirements of solar module manufacturers.

“We expect this breakthrough product to be rapidly accepted as the standard for the backsheet component of both traditional and certain thin-film photovoltaic modules,” said Lee.

July 8 - Altair Nanotechnologies Announces Successful Grid Interconnection and Operation of Two-Megawatt Battery System

Grid-Scale Validation Expected to Open New Markets in the Utility Sector for Altair's Battery Technology

Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI), a leading manufacturer of safe, high-performance lithium-titanate battery and energy storage products, announced the successful completion of a demonstration and validation program for a two-megawatt 500 kilowatt-hour battery system purchased by AES Corporation (NYSE: AES).

The program was developed and validated by KEMA, Inc. and executed by AES personnel and subcontractors. KEMA's testing showed the battery system successfully met the program's milestones, which was conducted to demonstrate the applicability of Altair's large platform technology to frequency regulation, a key service currently provided by power plants to the electric grid. This demonstration also suggests that the technology could be used for several other utility applications.

"The positive AES results validate the immense opportunities in the utility sector," said Terry Copeland, President and CEO for Altair Nanotechnologies. "Our patented lithium titanate battery technology represents a significant advancement in frequency regulation and can provide utilities and generating companies with a valuable tool and resource in the growing challenge of grid management."

"We are pleased with the results of the Altairnano units. This two megawatt validation project is one of the final steps in our move towards commercial deployment of grid-scale energy storage," said Chris Shelton, Director of Energy Storage Development at AES. "Fast-responding, high-efficiency energy storage systems such as these will create a more resilient grid and allow for increased use of variable generating sources such as wind and solar."

The two-megawatt battery system was installed and operated at a substation owned by Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL), an AES company. The system contained two one-megawatt battery storage units each consisting of one Altairnano 250 kilowatt-hour lithium titanate battery stack, AC-to-DC power conversion system, HVAC units, a control system and transformers to connect to the IPL grid. During the validation exercise the capacity of each unit was tested by repeatedly charging and discharging at one megawatt for 15 minutes. In a second test, two megawatts of power from each of the units were used to show the capability of paralleling two separate systems. Additional testing included simulated frequency regulation, which involved switching the units from charge to discharge at up to one megawatt of power every four seconds for several hours. The KEMA summary report will be available on Altair's website at www.altairnano.com and on the KEMA website at www.kema.com.

In August 2007 AES Corporation and Altair Nanotechnologies announced a joint development and equipment purchase agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will develop a suite of energy storage solutions. This first solution is a modular unit designed to deliver in excess of one megawatt of power and 250 kilowatt-hours of energy per unit. Multiple units can be linked together in systems to provide both more power and more energy storage.

Altair and AES are working together toward utilization of these systems to provide more efficient management of energy quality, frequency control, and real-time energy fluctuations in milliseconds at grid level. The battery systems' extended cycle-life, high-efficiency, and power profile for the continuous delivery of pulses of plus or minus one megawatt to the grid differentiate Altair's battery storage system from other potential solutions in the marketplace.

July 8 - ExpressMD™ Signs Non-Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Cyntrist to Deliver Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth Systems to Healthcare Providers in the Southeastern U.S.

Cyntrist to Utilize ExpressMD Solutions' Telehealth System to Improve Diabetic Care

ExpressMD Solutions, a joint venture formed by Authentidate Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ADAT) and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. (OTC: ESCL) to provide remote patient monitoring telehealth systems and services that improve care for patients, has signed its first user contract and distribution agreement with Cyntrist, a comprehensive diabetic care company headquartered in Central Florida. Cyntrist will distribute Express MD's systems and services throughout the Southeastern U.S. region. Initially Cyntrist will target Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

ExpressMD Solutions' systems and services enable unattended measurement of a patient's vital signs and related health information. This patient data is securely sent over the Internet to the patient's healthcare provider for review.

Cyntrist will utilize ExpressMD's remote patient monitoring systems and telehealth services to monitor patients diagnosed with Diabetes. Patients will be able to use Electronic House Call(TM) equipped monitoring devices located in their home to record personal health data, including glucose levels and weight. ExpressMD Solutions' service will transmit the data to each patient's care provider as it is collected. By remotely receiving patient data daily, care providers can adjust treatment accordingly and provide an enhanced level of care. In addition, ExpressMD's solution reduces the need for regular office visits, reducing the cost of care.

"Cyntrist's decision to incorporate ExpressMD Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth system and services as part of its patient care capabilities, underscores the benefits that telehealth monitoring systems offer patients and healthcare providers," said Ronald Mills, Managing Director at ExpressMD Solutions. "As a way to improve patient care and reduce costs, telehealth systems have the power to change the landscape of patient monitoring. We believe our solution is ahead of the curve in this market and will be widely accepted by meeting a number of monitoring applications going forward."

In June 2008 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes (8% of the population), an increase of more than three million in approximately two years.

"By combining our world-class proprietary Diabetes information management system, Enhanced Diabetes Information System (EDIS(TM)), with ExpressMD Solutions' remote patient monitoring telehealth system, we are introducing a capability that goes above and beyond what is currently available for treating patients with Diabetes. A core advantage of this system is that it is easy for patients to use and is cost effective compared to monitoring patients multiple times per week in person. This is a very exciting opportunity for patients, providers and heath insurers," said Rogers Kirven, President of Cyntrist.
