LMGR Light Management Group Inc. Announces Application of Ultraviolet Scanner as Core Element in the Detection of Micro-Organisms NORCROSS, Ga., Oct 24, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Light Management Group Inc. (LMG) (OTCBB:LMGR), developer of new applications in optical and light technologies employing sound waves, today announced that its acousto-optic technology, using its proprietary Ultraviolet (UV) Scanner, has an opportunity to be a viable instrument in the detection of elements of biological warfare. The UV Scanner system from LMG could use a prepared product from any kind of biological or environmental sample. In this regard, the UV Scanner system would become the key element of a larger detection system. The extreme sensitivity of the UV Scanner would aid in sample size preparation and analysis. The fully-computerized, ultra-fast UV Scanning system with flexible software and precise pixel-positioning could readily become the key element of biological warfare detection. It is expected that the UV Scanner from LMG will experience commercial status in the first quarter, 2002. "The threat of harmful micro-organisms is very real and a contentious current issue," said Dr. Donald J. Iwacha, CEO & President, Light Management Group. "We are proud to introduce our UV Scanner as a potential nucleus in biological warfare detection equipment -- an application with near-term implication." Light Management Group Inc. specializes in the development of new applications in optical and light technologies. LMG's breakthrough technology employs sound waves to focus and direct light. LMG has filed for two United States patents in the fiber optics field, both of which could have significant applications in telecommunications, data transmission, and Internet technology. Light Management Group is committed to fulfilling demand for multiple, complex levels of switching within the communications industry.
