Nematron Granted Patent for Award-Winning Hinged Chassis Design of its Industrial Control Computer Series ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Nermatron Corporation (Nasdaq: NEMA) today announced that it was awarded patent #5,666,264 for its hinged chaissis designed that is a standard feature of its ISA/PCI Bus Industrial Control Computer(TM) (ICC(TM)) series. This follows the recent announcement that this series of computers has passed Microsoft's Windows NT Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) and is now qualified for the Designed for Microsoft Windows NT Logo License program. The exclusive hinged chassis design of Nematron's industrial automation hardware offers several distinct benefits to users. The rear chassis swings open easily, allowing quick access to LCD backlighting bulbs that can be changed in less than five minutes on most models. Additionally, the chassis, housing all electrical components, can be opened and removed without tools and without removing any cables, and the latching mechanism automatically aligns the chassis for ease of re-attachment. The front of an ICC mounts easily on a pedestal or in a panel, using clips to subsequently attach the rear chassis. This feature eliminates the requirement of drill mounting holes and simplifies the installations process. In addition, the sealed membrane keypad located on the front panel features relegendable and reprogrammable function keys that have CMOS memory to hold the configuration independent of the electronics. This feature includes new tools that provide the ability to log operating information about the usage, temperature, and backlight in each ICC unit. Furthermore, upgrade MTTR is extremely low since the electronics chassis can be exchanged from an enclosure mounting in less than three minutes. Nematron's newest ICC models are based on Intel's Pentium and Pentium Pro processors and contend as the fastest industrial computers available on the market today. In addition to the patented hinged design, these ICCs provide numerous other advantages, including such features as: * Resistive touchscreen * A variety of TFT or STN passive displays in various resolutions * Stainless steel NEMA 4X rated front bezel to meet specifications of the food and drug industries * Anti-glare screen that allows display viewing even in high-glare environments Nematron designs and manufactures PC-based industrial automation products that include software direct machine control, process visualization, and data acquisition. In addition, the Company produces related hardware products that leverage or support its software. Nematron's subsidiaries develop software products that cover a broad spectrum of applications, including software designed for the Microsoft Windows NT operating system. Nematron pioneered the operator interface segment of factory automation in 1983 with the introduction of the Industrial Workstation(TM).
