Edward, young man, I think maybe Brian was just replying to me, not commenting on the actual show. I may be wrong, and if so I do apologize, but that is my take on it.

Sorry dudes, taped the radio show and didn't hear it until now. It is an excellent interview on Canada's Business Report It was between Ron Adam's and George Sharp, director of software engineering for S.E.E. on the show called Market in Profile. The interview lasted about 4-5 minutes, it was right from Atlanta Georgia at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference. This is rephrased from the interview:__________________ The Personal Safety Moniter system is for workers entering confined spaces or hazardous locations. These people are required by governments in the U.S. and Canada to be monitered by live attendants to make sure they are ok. In case they pass out from gases or fall and hurt themselves etc., they must be watched constantly by a live pair of eyes. This can include refinery workers going into refineries for maintenance work, electrical workers going into an electrical vault, miners, aircraft maintenance workers going into an aircraft fuel cell etc, wherever a human wasn't meant to be for a long period of time. The Personal Safety Moniter is carried by the worker and hooks up to a computer monitering system which is constantly polling the Personal Safety Moniter. The computer occasionally sends a querying tone which the worker must answer to say he is all right. If he doesn't answer the system goes into alarm and ambulance and rescue workers are alerted right away and sent out. He was asked what the scope of the market is like for this product and replied with a laugh "I wish we knew but it is enormous." George said the market place is in defense, aircraft, mining, natural resources, anywhere where there is a potential for hazardous locations; wherever a human was not meant to be for a long period of time. Intel was given a demonstration because they recognize the fact they have over 8,000 confined spaces in their factory in Albequerque. This is just one plant. SEE was originally aiming at the markets in Canada and the U.S. but they are receiving interest from Australia, Korea and Isreal so the money they raise through Roper will allow them to put a powerful marketing and sales team in place and get brand recognition. Safe Environment Engineering is either going to be taken over completely or receive a major investment from Roper. __________________________________________________________ Pretty impressive, goooooo Roper.
