Something to look at. Nanopierce Connection System Surpasses Smart-Card ISO Standards by Large Margin DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1999--Nanopierce Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:NPCT)(Berlin Stock Exchange:NPI) Wednesday announced that independent tests conducted by Meinen Ziegel & Co., Munich, Germany, conclusively established that the Nanopierce Connection System (NCS) exceeded all applicable ISO standards for smart cards. The tests were conducted to determine the performance and reliability of the chip module to antenna connection, utilizing chip modules treated with NCS for a dual-interface smart-card application. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has promoted the broad acceptance of smart cards by establishing detailed specifications. Although ISO has not yet established a standard specifically for dual-interface smart cards, the industry has adopted the existing smart-card specifications as the de facto dual-interface standard. ISO standards require smart cards to withstand a minimum of 1,000 flexes to simulate typical handling. The independent tests performed by Meinen Ziegel revealed Nanopierce's NCS survived more than 8,000 cycles, exceeding the ISO standard by a factor of eight. Flex-test reliability is particularly important to dual-interface smart cards because, unlike conventional smart cards in which all electronic components are located on the module, the module-to-antenna connection in dual-interface smart cards is potentially susceptible to damage during flexing. In other words, conventional smart cards fail the flex testing when the plastic card body fails, while dual-interface cards tend to suffer an electrical failure at the module-to-antenna connection. NCS has proven to solve this problem. Nanopierce applied its NCS technology to chip modules supplied by Multitape, GmbH & Co. KG for use in connection with the testing. Paul Metzinger, president and chief executive officer, said: ''These tests conclusively establish the superiority of the NCS technology over the competition in terms of cost, performance and reliability for the application. We have been able to show that NCS meets and exceeds the industry's requirements while the competition has insisted on compromise. ''We remain firmly convinced that NCS technology will become the standard of the industry. Of even greater potential impact is the application of our technology to smart labels. Put simply, we have the connection solution.'' Metzinger further explained that the company would provide chip modules to ORGA Kartensystemes for further testing and application by this world-class smart-card-manufacturing firm. Nanopierce Technologies owns 11 patents, 6 patents pending and 2 patent applications in preparation, as well as various other intellectual properties related to the company's proprietary NCS. This advanced system is designed to provide significant improvement over conventional electrical and mechanical interconnection methods for high-density circuit boards, components, sockets, connectors, semiconductor packaging and electronic systems. The public stock trades under the ticker symbol NPCT on the OTC Bulletin Board. Nanopierce Technologies is a subsidiary of Intercell Corp. (OTC BB:INCE).

Thanks for the warning miss shell..... but this is not the UPCA thread....this is the coffee shop.....and this thread is a locker room type thread for football season and pictures of chicks and stocks that 3-bag...... i sure wish you would have warned us all last friday when we bought UPCA at 1.25.....you could have saved us all from that horrible and gut renching experience of watching that nearly 500% gain. i believe your mission now is to go to the UPCA thread and pick the bones of the ones who bought in high and tell them how they all will never see their money again..... and since this story first broke on June 16.....i wonder why you waited so long to save everybody from this.......but then again...you always show up after the stock runs...and then you are the expert! umm.....july 20.....the stock is running...and you make your first appearance..... Message 10579550 i guess you missed the june 16th release.....i figure this is the time you should have been warning folks.....but i guess the first run-up wasn't big enough for your expertise to kick in yet.........thats cool! biz.yahoo.com again....thanks for the warning.....i only hope you warn tex before he starts making his bad football picks* in a few weeks......BIGTIMEROLL!!!!!*
