TECHNOLOGY SECTOR - TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH - PATENTS FILED Symbol: NMMG Market: OTC.BB Sector: L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY Barcharts Rate NMMG an 80% BUY - http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=NMMG BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 claims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) architecture. The OnScreen LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutionize the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market. This breakthrough technology will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market. With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Intelligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing of new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG and its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way. NMMG currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc. Imagine one day you are driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand times before--but this time you notice something different. This time you see a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spilled. The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety. Such a warning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology. You never noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was draped over the sign all this time. Now it has sprung into action by the punch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the nick of time. You have just experienced OnScreen technology. And that is just one example. The possibilities are limitless. And because OnScreen can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its cost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice. NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT conference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mateo, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual forum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as well as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of these devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this event, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50% since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries have stagnated or experienced large declines. ON-SCREEN TECHNOLOGY OnScreen is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays. OnScreen will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the issues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading and excessive weight. In addition, the new LED architecture produces an advantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight, pliable display that can fit any application. These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006. In addition, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this market. COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual property (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and components. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alone, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number is accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED displays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applications such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway intelligent message transfer. THE MARKET An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that the outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that our large members say they're having a great first quarter in 2003. They go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display and measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most exciting news is coming on the display side, where Lamar Advertising is converting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at will and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute. They added that Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being converted to LED as well. Together these companies represent two of the three largest outdoor US advertisers. Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expanding the Amber Alert network nationwide. The highly publicized success in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abduction in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion of these variable-message signs. Homeland Security issues have also increased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 roadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Japan alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States represents a huge growth market for LED displays. GROWTH OPPORTUNITES In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exciting application for OnScreen arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic curved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or really virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen provides unlimited opportunity for creativity. The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen will also provide ample opportunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen's unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curved implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existing vehicles. Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant message transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages of OnScreen. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower the cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also reduce the cost to install and maintain them. JUST LOOK WHO IS ALREADY ON BOARD New Millennium has established a Technology Breakthroughsentific Advisory Board comprised of leading experts in key categories in the research and marketing of LED technology.

Their unique Advertising Display Boards and LED Digital Displays offer up a dynamic and cost efficient way to effectively market products and promote brand awareness. NMMG holds the exclusive United States and Canadian distribution rights to the patented, "IllumiSign EyeCatcher" Advertising Display Board. IllumiSign EyeCatcher, the exclusive marketing company for this product, has launched an aggressive national marketing campaign, targeted not only at advertisers, but business opportunity seekers as well. This advertising medium presents excellent benefits to advertisers and lucrative business opportunities to franchisees and corporate sponsors, alike. IllumiSign EyeCatcher has an inventive, profit sharing program in place called "Partners In Profit" (PIP), which is structured to provide revenue incentives for larger national corporations and venues to tap deeper into their market share by allowing placement of the board in their high traffic and Point of Sales areas. This program has the potential to generate millions of dollars in additional annual revenue for qualifying corporate sponsors, while providing the means for greater public exposure to the IllumiSign EyeCatcher Advertising Boards. NMMG has partnered with E-Vision LED, Inc., a US based company whose affiliates manufacture their state-of-the-art LED displays. This high technology media is the only truly effective way, television aside, for advertisers to display their products in true form. Their LED displays can operate any commercial format on any size board. This gives them a strong competitive advantage with regard to flexibility and ease of control, since the images are programmed and controlled right from their central office. ON-SCREEN TECHNOLOGY The OnScreen LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to provide key design improvements in cost, weight and brightness of LED displays for such applications as billboards, large outdoor venue video screens and outdoor video advertising. Worldwide, the outdoor advertising market is approximately 19 billion dollars, with the US representing 5.2 billion in 2001, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA). An increasing percentage of these expenditures are utilizing the technologies of motion display advertising- such as the OnScreen display technology. OnScreen is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays.

RE: [Numpy-discussion] Any way to link numarray againstLAPACK/ATLAS?

I tested it and it probably works, since after recompiling numarray (0.8) the file lapack_lite2.so shrinked from 1300K to 94K. Running strace on a python script that inverse a matrix shows that it loads libblas and liblapack. Thank you for your help, Nadav. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Miller [mailto:jmiller@stsci.edu] Sent: Tue 16-Dec-03 15:31 To: Nadav Horesh Cc: numpy-discussion Subject: Re: [Numpy-discussion] Any way to link numarray againstLAPACK/ATLAS?

Conversion from Numeric to numarray
by Francesc Alted 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hi, Conversion between Numeric arrays and numarray fails for zero-sized Numeric arrays: >>> numarray.array(Numeric.zeros((0,), 'd')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 301, in array raise ValueError("Unknown input type") ValueError: Unknown input type but this works: >>> numarray.array(Numeric.zeros((1,), 'd')) array([ 0.]) I'm wondering if it would be better to log a bug of the SF project site for such a no too grave bugs rather than report them to the list, although it seems to me that people only logs Numeric reports on the SF project. Would it be correct using the same place for numarray reports as well? Cheers, -- Francesc Alted

OK, here is the example: [code] from numarray import * import numarray.convolve as conv lx=20 center=10 index=arange(lx,type='Float64') data1=(abs(center-index))<3 print 'The binary pattern:' print data1 PSF=5 xwidth=18 xmid=xwidth/2 sigma=PSF/(sqrt(8*log(2))) index=arange(xwidth,type='Float64') ShortGauss = (1/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma)) * exp(-0.5*((index-xmid)/sigma)*((index-xmid)/sigma)) print '\nThe short gauss:' print ShortGauss image=conv.convolve(data1,ShortGauss,mode=conv.SAME) print '\nThe convolution of the binary pattern with the short gauss:' print image PSF=5 xwidth=22 xmid=xwidth/2 sigma=PSF/(sqrt(8*log(2))) index=arange(xwidth,type='Float64') LongGauss = (1/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma)) * exp(-0.5*((index-xmid)/sigma)*((index-xmid)/sigma)) print '\nThe long gauss:' print LongGauss image=conv.convolve(data1,LongGauss,mode=conv.SAME) print '\nThe convolution of the binary pattern with the long gauss:' print image [\code] When I run this code, the first convolution gives an array of zeros, the second convolution is good. I also did a quick try with convolve from nd_image, but this function was slower than the convolve from numarray with a large Gaussian distribution.

Hi, NumArray class seems to detect invalid sequences, but not in CharArray: >>> array([3, [4, 5.2]]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 286, in array return fromlist(sequence, type, shape) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 195, in fromlist arr.fromlist(seq) libnumarray.error: setArrayFromSequence: invalid sequence. >>> strings.array(["aaa", ["bbb", "ccc"]]) CharArray(['aaa', 'bbb']) -- Francesc Alted

Hi Peter, At first I used numarray 0.6. This morning I have installed 0.8 but the results are the same. I will try the convolve functions in the nd_image package.

Which version of numarray do you use? Version 0.8 of numarray should have appeared on sourceforge now. If the convolve in that version does still not work, you could try out the convolution function in the new nd_image package that is part of numarray 0.8. If that does not work, let me know since I am the author of that package, and will fix problems with it.
