COII News: Tuesday October 19, 8:31 am Eastern Time Company Press Release CTI Taps Chadwick Communications for Launch of Revolutionary New Diagnostic Tool Imaging Device Expected to Transform Breast Cancer Detection LAYTON, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 1999-- CTI (Computer Thermal Imaging, Inc. - OTC BB: COII.OB) today announced that it has hired Chadwick Communications to handle marketing communications for its expected launch of a revolutionary new diagnostic tool that could transform breast cancer detection. The company's Computerized Thermal Imaging System, an adjunctive breast screening device is designed to distinguish benign from malignant lesions without a biopsy and currently is undergoing FDA clinical trial. ''We're very pleased to add the creative and strategic thinking of Chadwick Communications to our team,'' said David Packer, president of CTI. ''CTI's technology has the potential to forever change the face of medical diagnostics. Our breast cancer clinical trials are proceeding on schedule, and we anticipate launching this exciting new technology next year. In addition, plans already are underway to expand the technology beyond the area of breast cancer to other applications.'' ''CTI is a company on the cutting edge exploring the latest innovations in the highly advanced area of medical imaging technology,'' said Chad Chadwick, president of Chadwick Communications. ''It is an incredible opportunity and privilege for us to join in their efforts to revolutionize the field of medical diagnostics.'' Chadwick Communications, which specializes in launching and positioning corporate and consumer brands, will provide CTI with an integrated national marketing campaign, which will include advertising, corporate identity, logo development and public relations. In fact, a print campaign already is in the works and is expected to break later this month. CTI develops and deploys thermal imaging and associated technologies for use in the enhancement of medical screening, diagnosis and patient management. As an adjunctive screening device, the company's Computerized Thermal Imaging System should significantly reduce the number of benign breast biopsies performed each year. Additionally, it is designed to diagnose malignancy and determine prognosis based on an extensive clinical and historical database. The technology also is valuable in the area of patient management, acting as a post-surgical or post-therapeutic monitoring device that can track tumor recurrence. CTI's non-invasive test is simple, painless and involves no radiation, breast compression, electrodes or electrical current. The company currently has FDA trials underway at Providence Hospital, Washington, D.C.; Mt. Sinai Cancer Center, Miami Beach, Fla.; USC/Norris Cancer Center, Los Angeles, Calif.; St. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore, Md.; and Lahey Clinic, Peabody, Mass. Selection of future locations is underway.

UIS News: Tuesday October 19, 7:45 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Unisys 8-Way Server Scores as World's Fastest Intel-Based SMP System, Extends Price/Performance Advantage Over RISC BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 1999--Unisys Corporation today announced that the Aquanta ES5085R eight-processor server achieved the fastest online transaction processing (OLTP) performance ever recorded for an Intel-based symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. The test results demonstrate conclusively that Unisys is pushing Intel servers running Windows NT further into territory once dominated by UNIX/RISC technology, at a fraction of the price of comparable RISC servers. The Aquanta ES5085R achieved 40,670.05 transactions per minute (tpmC) in the test, which was conducted using the Transaction Processing Council's ''C'' methodology, the industry's standard measure of OLTP performance. The price per transaction was $18.42/tpmC, which is the best OLTP price/performance for any eight-processor server. Pricing is based on data posted on the TPC web site, www.tpc.org. This compares, for example, to TPC-C test results for the Hewlett-Packard 9000 Model N4000 Enterprise Server (available on July 31, 1999), which delivered 49,308 tpmC at a price per transaction of $56.67 -- over three times the price of the Unisys Aquanta ES5085R server. The Unisys configuration as tested will be available on December 31, 1999. The hardware is available now. ''These test results are a wake-up call for enterprises investing in UNIX/RISC technology,'' said Don Johnson, vice president and general manager, Aquanta Enterprise Server Business, Unisys Computer Systems. ''They constitute a clear signal that, when combined with enterprise computing characteristics added by Unisys, Intel-based servers running Microsoft operating system and database software have achieved the performance needed to push serious, data-center-class electronic -- business computing to the next level. Just wait until you see the next generation of Unisys Intel-based servers.'' The Aquanta ES5085R server, which ran Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 operating system and SQL Server 7.0 database, was equipped with eight 550-MHz Intel Pentium III Xeon processors with 2 Mbytes of Level 2 cache.

CICI News: Tuesday October 19, 7:59 am Eastern Time Company Press Release National Semiconductor Licenses CIC's Jot Handwriting Recognition System For The Geode WebPAD Reference Platform REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 19, 1999-- Communication Intelligence Corporation (Nasdaq:CICI - news), the leading supplier of pen-based software solutions, and National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM - news) today announced that National is licensing the Jot® handwriting recognition system for its Geode(TM) WebPAD(TM) reference design. The National® Geode WebPAD reference platform is a portable, wireless personal access device (PAD) that uses radio frequencies to enable users to surf the Internet or send and receive email within 500 feet of the device's base station. Adding CIC's Jot technology to the Geode WebPAD platform will drastically reduce the time and effort it takes users to input large amounts of text into the device. ''We designed the WebPAD with a touch screen interface that allows users to easily navigate the Web and input text with a pen and soft keyboard,'' said Jean-Louis Bories, executive vice president of National's Information Appliance group. ''Integrating handwriting recognition technology was the next logical step in the platform's evolution, and the ease of use and accuracy of the Jot solution made CIC stand out from the crowd.'' About the size of a standard 8 1/2x11-inch paper tablet, the Geode WebPAD offers users convenient, portable Internet access without being tied to a traditional desktop PC. The current reference platform is based on the QNX operating system and National's highly integrated Geode GXLV processor, an x86-based chip that integrates sound, graphics, memory control and the PCI interface. Enabling Text Input Jot is a print-based recognizer that was developed by CIC after years of research in the area of pattern recognition. Under the terms of its agreement with National, CIC will initially provide Jot for the QNX operating system, and has agreed to future development for the Linux, Windows XX, pSoS and VxWorks operating systems. These operating systems could be used to power future information appliances that may provide push-button access for task specific devices to enable e-commerce, email and fax capabilities. Guido DiGregorio, president and CEO of CIC, stated, ''National joins companies such as Ericsson and Microsoft in endorsing Jot as an intuitive input solution for today's information appliances. The growing need for mobile information access is driving the proliferation of new devices that offer a pen as the standard means for input and navigation.''
