iVoice has determined that the best way to create shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to implement new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to the Company's shareholders. The common stock distributions are part of a broader strategy relating to the transition of iVoice into a company focused on the development and licensing of proprietary technologies. We also continue to search for potential merger candidates with or without compatible technology and products, which management feels may make financing more appealing to potential investors.

NaturalNano Secures Exclusive License Agreement With U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
NaturalNano, Inc. (OTCBB: NNAN) (FWB: N3N) (www.naturalnano.com), a developer of advanced nanomaterials and additive technologies, announced it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) spanning multiple industries and broad patents in controlled-release nanomaterials. The agreement covers 10 patents and opens up an array of controlled-release applications for the Company across a broad range of multi-billion dollar market segments.
"This agreement is a great milestone for us. It represents another step in our strategic plan to commercialize products across a diverse range of markets and to solidify our position as a leader in advanced nanomaterials," said Cathy Fleischer, Ph.D., President and Chief Technical Officer of NaturalNano. "The opportunity to take NRL's research to market and capitalize on the potential inherent in controlled-release applications immediately multiplies our market potential."
Under the exclusive license agreement, NaturalNano has been granted rights to patents in several fields, including cosmetics, fragrances, agriculture, electronics, and local drug delivery fields. The agreement bolsters NaturalNano's industry-leading intellectual property portfolio in nanomaterials, bringing the Company's total number of patents or pending applications, exclusively owned or licensed, to more than 25.
NaturalNano said the patents cover proprietary usage of nanotubes, including naturally occurring nanotubes found in halloysite (HNT(TM)), which have a unique hollow-tube structure that allows chemicals, additives or other materials to be added to the inside of the tubes, creating a slow or controlled release of the material.
Controlled release offers significant advantages in such industries as cosmetics, where it can enhance products such as sun block to increase the length of protection, extend the life and aromatic properties of fragrances or improve the effectiveness of moisturizers and anti-aging material. The Company also noted potential in the diverse agrichemical industry, where there is demand for applications that enhance the effectiveness and duration of fertilizers and pesticides. The Company sees additional applications in the cleaning products, home goods and automotive industries, among others.
Fleischer concluded: "These patents enable us to leverage a truly groundbreaking technology and to be the first mover in this space. By commercializing products using these patents, we are able to develop additional partnerships that can accelerate and multiply the research and commercial product pipeline."

AeroVironment, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVAV), Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. ‘Altairnano’ (Nasdaq: ALTI), Micro-Vett, SPA and Go Green Holding AS, recently jointly announced the successful public demonstrations of the All-Electric Fiat Doblò to government officials and potential commercial customers in Oslo, Norway. On October 2nd, half-way through an ongoing 60-day demonstration, the Micro-Vett Fiat Doblò, a regular size 5-seat station wagon vehicle, powered by a custom 18 kWh Altairnano high performance NanoSafe® battery pack, traveled 300 kilometers (186 miles) in an urban delivery circuit. The custom battery pack was fully recharged in less than ten minutes a total of three times using AeroViroments’ high voltage, 125kW rated, rapid charging system. The vehicle will be driven an estimated total of 7,500 kilometers during the 60-day demonstration period, which translates to an annual equivalent use of 45,000 kilometers.
The Fiat Doblò is designed both as a commercial medium-duty transport vehicle, as well as a regular size family car. Micro-Vett has been converting standard vehicles to electric drive for the past 20 years, and today, they have a wide range of passenger and utility vehicles available for sale. Go Green expects to ship up to 20 Micro-Vett vehicles with Altairnano’s 18 kWh NanoSafe® battery packs to customers in the next several months, and an additional 250 vehicles are planned for shipment in 2008. Altairnano offers a range of NanoSafe® battery packs for all-electric vehicles requiring from 10 to 35 kWh of energy storage.
“This alliance of innovative companies is a powerful combination that is committed to providing clean transportation on a global platform,” said Asbjorn Slordahl, Go Green Holdings’ chief executive officer. "With battery packs from Altairnano, and fast-charge infrastructure from AeroVironment, these roadway-ready, all-electric vehicles converted by Micro-Vett and distributed by Go Green are a powerful example of what happens when you combine the right technology, with the right providers, at the right time.”
"This is a key step forward in demonstrating the viability of all-electric vehicles, and the fast charge infrastructure necessary to enable their practical use," said Joe Edwards, vice president and general manager of AeroVironment's Energy Technology Center. "This demonstration proves that the technology to deploy electric vehicles for everyday use is available and ready. Our PosiCharge® fast charge technology has demonstrated itself to be reliable for the daily operation of thousands of heavily used, low voltage electric industrial vehicles throughout North America and increasingly in Europe, Australia and Asia. Using PosiCharge® to support high voltage electric vehicles is a natural extension."
“This public demonstration in Norway demonstrates another all-electric vehicle platform that is powered by Altairnano’s unique lithium Titanate NanoSafe battery pack product line. The NanoSafe® battery packs are safe, powerful, fully rechargeable in less than ten minutes with rapid charge systems, have long life and operate in extreme temperatures,” said Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.’s president and chief executive officer. “With more than 1,700 electric-powered vehicles in the country, Norway is taking a proactive approach in the adoption of all-electric vehicle technology and products. Our innovative battery technology, which is capable of thousands of re-charge cycles, provides a necessary ingredient for the adoption of EVs around the globe.”
“Micro-Vett has been manufacturing electric vehicles since 1987 and so we constantly follow energy accumulation systems evolution, from batteries to fuel cells,” said Massimiliano Di Gioia, Micro-Vett Vice President. “Until now we’ve seen some developments, but Altairnano’s fast charge batteries have the potential to revolutionize electric vehicles and also the automotive industry. It was very exciting to see Doblò’s charge level indicator going up visibly in Oslo. With Altairnano’s fast charge batteries, we can overcome the primary electric vehicle limitation because we can achieve refuelling times comparable to those of gasoline-powered vehicles.” |
