(PR NEWSWIRE) FutureTrak International, Inc. Signs Letter of Intent to Acq FutureTrak International, Inc. Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Maxwell Rand Holdings, Inc. POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- FutureTrak International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board symbol: FTRK) announced today that a letter of intent has been signed for the acquisition of Maxwell Rand Holdings, Inc. by Maxwell Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of FutureTrak International, Inc. Maxwell Rand has developed a compression algorithm that delivers still image quality based on combined methodology of Wavelet and Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT), which will take a still image and convert it into a scaleable ratio based on users' preference at a fraction of its size without losing the resolution quality. Maxwell scientists have proven that for any fractal iterative function, there is a Wavelet basis to represent this system. The visually lossless compression algorithm compresses the whole image, rather than blocks of the image, in real color, thus eliminating the deficiencies of JPEG. "The new mathematical research developed by Maxwell Rand and its team of scientists has contributed to a major breakthrough in the field of compression technology which will have a great impact on the Internet," said Steve Remondini, Chairman and President of FutureTrak International, Inc. "We plan to introduce a host of new exciting tools and application solutions based on our compression algorithm for the use of the Internet and World Wide Web in the marketplace. This will ensure our commitment to the Internet and its explosive growth in the market place," said Dr. Ahmad Moradi, CEO of FutureTrak International, Inc. FutureTrak International is a provider of integrated information products and services serving both the mobile and MDU markets. The Company provides DIRECTV, Internet Access, Internet Contents, and Telephony Solutions to its client base.
