01/12 09:54 WearableSensors.com is Launched by CoPower.com to Market ''Mobile Hydrogen Sensors''
PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan 12, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CoPower.com, an
Internet based marketer of hydrogen energy technology has unveiled its
latest web address, wearablesensors.com to market advanced
hydrogen safety equipment manufactured by DCH Technology, Inc.
(OTCBB:DCHT), integrated with the wearable computer, manufactured by
Xybernaut Corporation, (Nasdaq:XYBR)
"We created WearableSensors.com, to make it easy for the people in both
industry and government who are surfing the Internet for information on
hydrogen safety equipment to find this highly innovative integrated
sensor technology manufactured by DCH Technology," stated Steven
Oshinsky, the creator of CoPower.com. "Our market research indicates
that the people in the industries that need these sensors the most may
not even know they exist because they are so new and technologically
advanced."
DCH Technology has the most advanced hydrogen sensing equipment on the
market today and represents the first upgrade in hydrogen sensing
technology in over 40 years. The sensors were created by the US Dept.
of Energy, at the Sandia National Laboratory.
The DCH Robust Hydrogen Sensor is an Application Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC) technology that directly combines gas sensors with
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) signal logic and is
fabricated at the Microelectronics and Technology Center of
AlliedSignal-Honeywell, (NYSE:ALD), (NYSE:HON). This is a breakthrough
in real-time gas measurement permitting the direct interface with
computers to provide responsive protection to equipment which use
Gallium Arsenside devices such as radars.
The sensor is ideal for use in fuel cells, hydrogen and fuel cell
powered automobiles, plant equipment and hydrogen filling and refueling
stations.
The last several days has brought increased attention to hydrogen as a
fuel as a result of a series of announcements by General Motors,
(NYSE:GM), Ford Motor Co., (NYSE:F), DaimlerChrysler, (NYSE:DCX), and
Ballard Power, (Nasdaq:BLDP), (TSE:BLD). These announcements have
outlined the future of the automobile, and it is clear that the major
automotive manufacturers are focussed on "hydrogen" and "fuel cells" as
their fuel of choice. As evidence of the serious investments being made
by both automotive and petroleum industries, Royal Dutch Shell has
formed a new division called Shell Hydrogen, which has devoted $500
million over the next 5 years to the introduction of Hydrogen as the
energy for the next century.
The creation of this "mobile hydrogen sensor," enables inspectors and
process monitors to combine real-time hydrogen detection with immediate
access to the collected data that they need to respond quickly to any
potentially life threatening buildup or hydrogen leaks on the factory
floor or in their manufacturing plants.
Hydrogen Energy is currently one of the fastest growing industries
globally; growing at an average annual rate in the US alone at over
30%. Hydrogen Energy is projected to grow into the trillions over the
next decade. The Oil and Auto industries are now together on this issue
and have taken the lead role announcing in Dec. 1999, that a dedicated
hydrogen filling station and fuel-cell vehicle test center will open in
California by the autumn of 2000. Shell Hydrogen (NYSE:RD) will jointly
fund the fueling facility, along with Arco (Atlantic Richfield Co)
(NYSE:ARC) and Texaco Inc. (NYSE:TX). The station will dispense liquid
and compressed hydrogen fuel for 16 fuel-cell powered passenger
vehicles. Automobile companies involved in the venture include
DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE:DCX), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F), Honda Motor Co
Ltd and Volkswagen AG (VOWG.F) and each will have garage bays at the
center for servicing, repairs and diagnostics. Automotive Fuel Cell
giant Ballard Power Systems, (Nasdaq:BLDP), (TSE:BLD) is providing the
fuel cell system. Further details of the operation are available on the
World Wide Web, at: drivingthefuture.org
"With the tremendous upsurge in media attention now being given to fuel
cells and hydrogen energy technology in particular, we feel that the
safety aspects of this new technology will play an integral role. With
the addition of WearableSensors.com, we have provided access to the
most advanced hydrogen sensor equipment available at the touch of a
mouse, to the people that need it the most," added Oshinsky.
