STANFORD UNIVERSITY TESTING DIGITAL WAVE MODULATION TECHNOLOGY December 18, 1997 Stanford, California International Automated Systems, Inc. (IAS) entered into a relationship with Stanford University Department of Electrical Engineering Communications Satellite Planning Center for the purpose of publishing a more formal independent and objective evaluation of IAS's patented Digital Wave Modulation (DWM) technology. As previously purported by IAS, the DWM technology is a new modulation or communication system which is capable of transmitting more information, within a specified amount of space or bandwidth, than formally believed to be scientifically possible. IAS supplied proprietary information concerning the technical aspects of the DWM technology to the University's Center. Key elements of the technical information sent to the Center have never been publicly released. In response to the received data, the Stanford University Professor wrote: "I have read the intriguing material you have supplied from IAS and talked at some length with Neldon Johnson. I can see how the basic premises of Shannon's limits might be bypassed to achieve better than commonly accepted performance. I am certainly interested in working on a series of tests to see what the technology offers." In a meeting today at the Stanford University Communications Satellite Planning Center's headquarters in Stanford, California, IAS offered a preliminary and more formal presentation of the DWM technology. Formulas, graphs and theorems were presented to substantiate that Shannon's theorem does not apply in defining the exact channel capacity. The Center has initially concurred that DWM is a viable technology, pending more studies. Prior to adjourning the meeting, IAS and the Center commenced in outlining the groundwork and requirements necessary for a future joint publication. Stanford University Communications Satellite Planning Center is well respected in the field of telecommunications technologies. The Center has developed and evaluated telecommunications technologies for two decades. They have pioneered satellite TVRO and voice and data VSAT technology. They have developed and evaluated spectrum-efficient wireless voice and data modulation systems and multiplexing schemes including TDMA, FDMA and CDMA. The Center has evaluated technical bids for governments around the world and has evaluated and reported on new technologies in public symposia and special seminars. The Center maintains its objectivity in its studies of different technological approaches and seeks in its reports to evaluate technical claims on a scientific basis. As previously stated, key elements of the technical information supplied to the Center have never been publicly released. Due to the proprietary nature of this technology evaluation, the University has entered into a non-disclosure agreement with IAS in relation to DWM algorithms, modulating and demodulating techniques, etc.
