NCTI Introduces Its Full Development and Operating Environment for Personal Java, Embedded Java and Java Card Systems October 16, 1998 STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- Noise Cancellation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCTI) today introduced a full development and operating environment for Java(TM) systems. The environment consists of a real-time operating system, a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is 100% compatible with Java bytecode, standard Java Class Libraries and a full set of compilers. The NCT Java development environment features a Java compiler and cross-compilers which allow for the translation of legacy systems from C or C++ programming languages into Java bytecode. The C++ compiler is 100% compatible with Microsoft C++ compilers. "This environment is a true breakthrough because it is the first of its kind specifically for developing Java applications," said Michael J. Parrella, president of NCTI. "The environment is ideal for developers of smart cards, speech-driven products for home, automotive and communications, and digital communications devices such as hardware Internet phones. This opens up all applications that require a price performance environment smaller than Windows CE." Mr. Parrella continued, "The market value of legacy software is estimated to exceed $1 trillion. The legacy roadmap approach allows companies who have invested tremendous amounts in their applications to move to the Java platform in a controlled and prudent way." The NCT environment allows for different levels of development, from small consumer products to complex systems. Developers can utilize the environment for static applications, such as a voice programmable VCR or for single dynamic applets, such as in a talking appliance in which language is customized by geographic region. The environment is also appropriate for development of multiple dynamic applets, such as computer telephony. On September 9, 1998, NCT announced the acquisition of Advancel Logic Corp., the designer of the TurboJ chip family. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCT, Advancel will be responsible for the continued development of Java-based technology for the Company. NCT is a leading technology developer with an extensive portfolio of proprietary algorithms and a wide variety of product offerings for consumer, commercial and industrial applications. The Company specializes in the utilization of sound and signal waves to reduce noise, improve signal-to-noise ratio and enhance sound quality.
