ALL, Wednesday April 15, 9:37 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Patriot Scientific Receives Fifth Patent for PSC1000 Additional Patent Protection for Java Microprocessor SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1998--Patriot Scientific Corp. (OTCBB:PTSC - news), announced today that it has received a notice of allowance for its fifth U.S. patent on the ShBoom(TM) technology which is incorporated in the PSC1000(TM) microprocessor. Additional patents are expected to issue from a large number of applications still pending. ''The patents that we have received and the pending applications are intended to protect the PSC1000's advantages as a Java processor and a sophisticated embedded processor,'' stated Jim Lunney, Patriot president and chief executive officer. This patent covers ShBoom's unique method of grouping instructions for more efficient decoding and execution. The instruction grouping is similar to the VLIW (Very Low Instruction Word) techniques being used in the newest generation of extremely high performance microprocessors such as the Merced(TM) processor being developed by Intel. It makes the Patriot microprocessor very efficient at executing small loops (microloops) and short branches (skips). The patented ''microloops'' let the ShBoom move and search memory with no instruction overhead, where many other processors spend more than half their time loading instructions, thereby enhancing the speed and performance of the Patriot processor. As a low cost, high performance processor, the PSC1000 is ideal for Java applications, Internet-enabled information kiosks, cell phones, video phones, embedded Web servers, set top boxes and a host of other new Internet appliances. The PSC1000, a 32-bit microprocessor based upon Patriot's patented ShBoom technology, is designed to provide low cost solutions for the growing number of new Java applications as well as the traditional embedded systems markets. The company recently announced the receipt of a multi-million dollar order from Olea Exhibits Inc. Utilizing the PSC1000 microprocessor, Patriot will design and manufacture multi-media controllers for DVD (Digital Video Disc) drives. The controllers will be used in kiosks, taking the place of a PC and replacing a Windows NT host for multimedia and communications systems. The PSC1000 was chosen by Olea due to its flexibility to use Java and C application programs. Prototype deliveries will start in May with production deliveries scheduled for the third quarter of 1998. Cap
