LOCH - AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 1999--Physicist Dr. Henry Blair, chief scientist for Chemical Detection Technology Inc. (ChemTech) has accepted a private invitation to present his new VAMMP technology to the Interlocation meeting of Lucent Technologies Inc. on Nov. 15, according to Rodney Boone, CEO of ChemTech and its parent, Loch Harris Inc. (OTCBB:LOCH). The VAMMP (VAcuum Multi-constituent Monitor of Plasma) could save millions in manufacturing semiconductors, according to Blair, by monitoring and mapping plasma in real time, using proprietary techniques he developed for the ELF (Eliminate Landmines Forever) landmine detector now being tested by ChemTech. "VAMMP should have a special and particular attraction to Lucent's Microelectronics and Communications Technologies unit," said Boone, "because of Lucent's prominence as a manufacturer of semiconductor chips and devices." Noting yesterday's Reuters report of Lucent's outstanding profits ("Lucent Profits Surpass Expectations Again"), Boone said Lucent historically supports development and deployment of new and innovative technologies. "We believe this to be a historical opportunity for ChemTech and Loch Harris to present the merits of VAMMP to a corporation whose tradition represents the most progressive of attitudes," he said. "VAMMP is currently under development at ChemTech's Tucson laboratories and is expected to complete a prototype by May 2000," added Blair. "VAMMP will monitor and measure plasma constituents in vacuum processing systems is real time using ultraviolet excitation." Blair said he was confident of meeting that schedule because VAMMP's "sister technology," the ELF, is developing ahead of its original schedule. "ELF has successfully completed its preliminary bench assembly tests and is awaiting delivery of calibrated explosive samples to test its long-range capabilities," he said.
