Dr. Hora's latest report indicates that the much lighter weight and lesser
cost of Rhombic's Super Compact Battery may prove essential to reduce the
projected cost of the first 400 satellites into space. Former vice president
of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Vladimir Fortov, lately reported to
Dr. Hora that there has been "extensive progress" of work on the SRB with
dust plasmas.
Contacts will take place between the top producers of satellites at the IC&C
summit in Geneva, 13/14th of June, 1999. Among new members being sponsored is
the Russian Academy of Sciences. Rhombic Corporation soon will have the honor
of being considered as a member.
Diamond Flywheel Battery
In May 1997, Rhombic Corporation acquired a method for storing large amounts
of electrical energy for both portable and fixed applications. The
acquisition, named "The Diamond Electromechanical Battery" with a patent
application in Germany, is a specialized variation of the high-velocity
flywheel technology for its first-time use of diamond layers as a flywheel
reinforcement. Rhombic was selected to develop the diamond flywheel battery
by a team of German and American inventors because of the company's intensive
involvement in forced diffusion.
Rhostar.com and the Rhombic Explorer
RhoStar.com will offer an innovative online distribution channel for sofware
and information products. Our mission is to provide product developers and
consumers with new and more powerful relationships.
RhoStar.com will offer a qualitatively distinct method for achieving rapid
results
A spinoff of Rhombic Corporation, RhoStar.com is an online distribution
channel offering product developers a self-selecting means to achieve faster
market penetration. The customers become the distribution channel, and each
party benefits. Initial products for this distribution channel will include
the Rhombic Explorer.
The Rhombic Explorer will make life easier for millions of Internet users. It
will also make thousands of organizations more efficient and productive
because the Rhombic Explorer provides a powerful tool for gathering
information that will automate the painstaking and tedious process of manual
web surfing. The Rhombic Explorer will accomplish this by giving consumers
and organizations a new set of capabilities.
Overview of the Software
Whenever a new type of software automates a task that people perform
manually, or gives them the power to do something that they could not do
before, it creates a tremendous market. Past examples include spreadsheets,
database software, word processing, and desktop publishing. In each case, the
first company to develop and exploit the market prospered. The software
industry is always looking for "The Next Big Thing".
The Rhombic Explorer automates Web searching, the most commonplace and time
wasting task performed on the Internet. This task has only been possible for
a few years so the opportunity to automate it has only now emerged. The
Rhombic Explorer integrates familiar design principles from other kinds of
software, making it easy to use and to understand. It provides new powers and
tremendous convenience and timesaving to every individual and every
organization that uses the World Wide Web. It is a new type of software, with
all the potential that that statement implies.
Individual Benefits include: * Automates a slow, manual task * Uses off peak
hours
* Prevents redundant searching * Provides condensed versions of sites *
Reduction of online charges * Corporate Benefits * Reduced staff costs.
Employees are freed to perform other tasks. * Improved staff productivity *
Reduced communication costs. Queries can be consolidated and executed at the
most cost effective times and dates.
* Central coordination of searches for improved efficiency and supervision
* Elimination of duplicate searches * Accelerated response when queries yield
sites already searched. Instead of downloading and scanning a site, taking
many minutes, the database constructs a response in seconds. * Automated
construction and maintenance of a corporate knowledge base
Millions of individuals and knowledge workers spend more time surfing the Web
than on any other Internet activity. 72% of Internet users surf the web at
least once a day, 41% 6-10 hours a week. Searching the Web is fun, but it is
also a slow, painstaking and inefficient manual process. The fun wears off,
but the work remains. Studies of Internet usage by SunSoft and others reveal
harried workers racing through web pages under deadlines, scanning rather
than reading web copy, missing most of the available information for research
tasks, and duplicating their own searches and those of their co-workers. The
costs and waste are enormous.
Individual users suffer the same frustration and inconvenience. Stymied by
slow response times and frequent dropouts during peak usage hours, many North
American users do their Web research in the small hours of the morning, when
they should be sleeping, or after getting up very early. This leads to
increased fatigue and stress, and a host of secondary health and productivity
effects in the workplace.
The Rhombic Explorer solves these problems neatly. It provides an easy,
convenient way to automate manual work. The benefits provided to individuals
are multiplied when used by organizations. The Rhombic Explorer is a new
class of software that creates a vast new market. Powerful cost/benefit
justifications open up the corporate and government markets.
Special Update - On April 28, 1999, Rhombic announced that the website for
the Rhombic Explorer is now under construction and may be viewed at
rhostar.com. It is expected that the Explorer will be ready for
market within six weeks of the press release date.
FaxKey
The FaxKey will be a compact, simple device to send, store and receive secure
facsimile documents without demanding any action beyond the insertion of a
key. Both the sender and the receiver are freed from the need to key in pass
codes or instruction sequences. The security provided would be equivalent to
that provided by more complex protocols without without demanding error-prone
extra steps.
A variety of products offer secure communications to fax users. The
competitive advantage of this design lies in its ability to offer convenient
and flexible security at low cost.
The FaxKey will be a separate device, able to operate with any fax. The only
connection to the fax unit would be a short length of phone line. Power
requirements will be small because the FaxKey design will employ low power
chipsets like those in palmtop or laptop computers. No power cord is required
because it will draw power from the phone jack (as standard telephones do).
The FaxKey would be a simpler device than a computer, with a low parts count.
When not encrypting, decrypting, or storing secure faxes the FaxKey will act
as a passive buffer, taking no action. The FaxKey will offer the option of
storing printout faxes if the connecting fax unit is unavailable, for example
when connected to a personal computer, which may be turned off or removed.
Equity Financing
On January 11, 1999, Rhombic announced the completion of a $300,000 504
financing through a group of its current shareholders of 2 million shares at
15 cents. The $300,000 has been put in trust, to be used exclusively for
Rhombic to open its Diamond Forced diffusion facility in Columbia, Missouri.
Rhombic has established a Finance Committee to approve budgets and allocate
the appropriate funds for the Missouri plant and any other major
expenditures.
Rhombic is actively seeking further equity financing in the amount of $2 to
$3 million in order to: To create marketing teams for sales of the Inertial
Electrostatic Confinement applications in North America and to continue
research and development of the Nuclide Battery and the Diamond Flywheel
Battery in order to bring them to the stage where they can be commercially
marketed.
Rhombic Corporation - Synopsis of Goals:
Rhombic is a corporation which has acquired during the past few years
numerous leading edge technologies including the following:
* Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) neutron generator which is being
commercialized by Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace whereby Rhombic receives a
royalty for the rights to develop, manufacture, and market the IEC
technology. The IEC is being marketed by DASA under the name FusionStar.
* Forced Diffusion Diamond Process (N-type films) is a proprietary technology
more powerful and considerably more resistant to heat and radiation then
silicon. A computer chip made with the forced diamond diffusion process can
operate hundreds of times faster than silicon and extend indefinitely the
life of electronic circuitry. This means not only ultra fast integrated
circuits and chips, but also diamond diodes and switches, resulting in a
complete revolution of today's computers. There is presently a six weeks
feasability study being produced by three major computer corporations on the
applications and economic viability of the forced diamond diffusion
technology which is nearing completion.
* Nuclid Battery - a more advanced version of the nuclear battery, owned
100% by Rhombic Corporation, produces energy from the breakdown of unstable
isotopes of a number of basic elements such as Krypton, Strontium, and
Cesium. The battery's single purpose is to provide a generation or more of
constant energy for both manned and unmanned space flights to nearby planets
and eventually outer space. This technology has been tested on the space
station MIR and was presented to the American Physical Society by Vladimir
Fortov, Minister of Science and Technology under Boris Yeltsin in Russia.
* Diamond Flywheel Battery - a method for storing large amounts of electrical
energy for both portable and fixed applications. The acquisition, named "The
Diamond Electromechanical Battery" with a patent application in Germany, is a
specialized variation of the high-velocity flywheel technology for its
first-time use of diamond layers as a flywheel reinforcement. Rhombic was
selected to develop the diamond flywheel battery by a team of German and
American inventors because of the company's intensive involvement in forced
diffusion.
* RhoStar.com and the Rhombic Explorer - A spinoff of Rhombic Corporation,
RhoStar.com is an online distribution channel offering product developers a
self-selecting means to achieve faster market penetration. Initial products
for this distribution channel will include the Rhombic Explorer. The Rhombic
Explorer provides a powerful tool for gathering information that will
automate the painstaking and tedious process of manual web surfing. The
Rhombic Explorer will accomplish this by giving consumers and organizations a
new set of capabilities. The Rhostar web site may be viewed at
rhostar.com. It is expected that the Rhombic Explorer will be
ready for market within a few weeks.
* The FaxKey will be a compact, simple device to send, store and receive
secure facsimile documents capable of encrypting, decrypting, or storing
secure faxes without demanding any action beyond the insertion of a key. Both
the sender and the receiver are freed from the need to key in pass codes or
instruction sequences. The security provided would be equivalent to that
provided by more complex protocols without demanding error-prone extra steps.
Rhombic is currently negotiating an equity financing in the amount of $2 to
$3 million in order to create marketing teams for sales of the Inertial
Electrostatic Confinement applications in North America, to continue research
and development of the Nuclid Battery and the Diamond Flywheel Battery in
order to bring them to the stage where they can be commercially marketed, and
to complete the balance required to set up the forced diamond diffusion
facility in Missouri. Once the funds are in place, final development of the
forced diamond diffusion and diamond doping will begin at the University of
Missouri under the direction of Dr.Mark Prelas.
President, Larry Owen and CFO Al Golusin are currently working on Rhombic's
new business plan which when completed will be used to begin the process
required to become a fully reporting company with the SEC.
