Mr. Ronald Gregory, President
Phone: (416)492-2815 Fax: 416-477-8769
Owner of internationally patented art reproduction process.
A.R.T. Inc. is the only company in the world that is capable of
reproducing fine
oils on canvas in all three dimensions. Through its internationally
patented
process, every brush stroke, every nuance of the original surface
texture is
reproduced so well that Artagraph copy is virtually
indistinguishable by sight
or by touch from the original. The result is a high quality luxury
consumer
product that is affordable enough to command considerable mass
market appeal.
Consequently, A.R.T. Inc.'s primary market niche is the upscale
middle class
family that appreciates fine art but cannot afford an original
classic. We have
further broadened this market by recently introducing signed limited
edition
contemporary works as well, creating a new art form, "Artagraph
Editions".
A.R.T.'s international marketing strategy centres around a
licensing agreement system. This system works on a country by
country basis
and provides full territorial protection to each of the licensees.
A.R.T.`s
immediate goal is to establish licensing agreements in every
Western European
country and Japan. Our long term goal is to arrange for licensing
agreements
in every major developed country in the world.

Using VLSI technology techniques originally developed for space age
and avionic
applications, ATI`s strategy was to use this emerging technology to
develop
graphics products which would allow computer users maximum
flexibility when
operating a PC. VLSI technology would be ATI`s gateway to solving
the mystery
of complicated graphics standards. We became known as the market
innovator of
the graphics industry in 1985 with the introduction of the Graphics
Solution.
The Graphics Solution combines the video functions of 4 previous
graphics cards
to display information and various standards in a very simple and
straight-
forward manner. It has received a Seal of Approval from Lotus
Development
Corporation for 132 spreadsheets, and has become a standard with
leading PC
manufacturers, positioning itself as a force in the industry.
ATI developed the EGA Wonder which can run any software on any
monitor anytime,
without switching or taking apart a system, having to identify one
resolution
from another or using specific monitors for specific programs. EGA
Wonder is
now the top selling EGA card due to these features. It also allows
upgrade to
EGA while maintaining downward compatibility to older standards
on any monitor.
Keeping pace with market developments, EGA WONDER now supports
800X560 high

Software for industrial applications, specifically production
scheduling.
Berclain Inc. is involved in the development and marketing of
software for
industrial applications, more specifically production scheduling. Our
major
product is a software called MOOPI (a French acronym for Industrial
Production
Sequencing Optimizing Method).
This software calculates the schedule on a production floor for
actual resources
within actual calendar, both for short and long term planning. The
major
innovation of the system is a combination of real time simulation
technologies,
expert systems, and algorithmic techniques. On the basis of user
defined
parameters and built-in scheduling rules, the software
automatically makes
sequencing decisions directly from the order entry. These user
defined criteria
can describe, for example, the fabrication model, the preferred and
alternate
work centres for each production operation, the rates, the work
shifts, etc.
The packaged rules set priorities to be assigned to each operation
based on the
required production deadline for the lot, and then calculates the
schedule.
When delivery dates are respected, MOOPI software minimizes
downtime on
workcentres and stock-in-process. It automatically selects
resources from a
group of employees or machinery qualified for each operation, and
assesses
intermediate lots that could be transferred on to successive
production stages.
Adaptable at any time to actual floor conditions or manual
sequencing decision,
the package logs the production as it is realized and automatically
generates
historical data for analysis.
Due to its software environment - C language, UNIX operating
system, network
type database - the software can process an unlimited problem size
and is
portable on a wide range of, computers.

Developer if a phonetic keyboard with application, tutorial, and
language
training software.
The Boswell System is a specialized writing computer with speech
synthesizer
on which the user "plays" the sounds of language in "chords" -
depressing
several keys simultaneously to produce whole syllables. The
syllables are played
one at a time without regard for word boundaries or spelling. A
software package
converts this input into text on a host personal computer.
The syllable at a time operation promises considerably faster input
times than
the currently dominant letter at a time method. As a writing tool
Boswell is
fully portable with 256K of non volatile memory and 7 1/2 hours of
continual
use between rechargings. For the practised operator it is ideal for
note taking
and writing in or out of office and classroom settings.
Boswell deals with writing from the perspective of how the
language is spoken,
which is how language is originally learned. Therefore people can
start writing
very quickly without having to go through the process of learning
how to form
individual letters and order them correctly. This leads to
considerable niche
markets among those who are visually impaired, learning disabled
and illiterate.
Software has been developed that allows people with a low level of
written
language ability to learn to write by themselves.
The company has formed a three year development agreement with
MPR Teltech Ltd.
of Burnaby B.C. MPR is a major telecommunications research firm
with expertise
in VLSI (Very Large Systems Integration) and computer generated
voice
technologies - two fields of particular interest to Boswell.
The current keyboard is capable of "speaking" in a number of
languages including
Spanish and Japanese. The company intends to develop the software
to make
Boswell fully usable in those and other languages.

CAD PC software.
CAD MicroSolutions began in 1984 by applying its extensive
experience in
mainframe CAD to the rapdily expanding PC CAD marketplace. With
the increasing
power and versatility available to the desktop computer, it quickly
became the
platform of choice for many applications including CAD and CAE. At
this time,
AutoCAD, VersaCAD, and a few other software vendors were vying to
establish
themselves as leaders in PC CAD software. CAD MicroSolutions
became an
authorized reseller for Autodesk products in that year and followed
with
VersaCAD authorization in 1985.
Since that time, Autodesk's AutoCAD has become the defacto
industry standard
in PC CAD with more than 50% market share. More recently, the
company has
acquired authorization for Novell Netware, providing CAD users with
the
connectivity and peripheral sharing ability required in multiple
workstation
environments.
An early entrant into the PC CAD marketplace, CAD MicroSolutions
quickly became
known as a reputable dealer providing quality systems with a high
level of after
sale support and service. Continuing the tradition for quality
service, CAD
MicroSolutions was honoured with a dealer award from Autodesk
recognizing
"Outstanding Achievement, Sales and Support" and the VersaCAD
"Partners in
Paradise" award. CAD MicroSolutions continues to be one of the
foremost AutoCAD
dealers in this region and supports an installed base of over 400
systems in
both Quebec and Ontario.
Training, consulting, and software customization is available for
clients
through our technical and sales staff, providing a true "system
solution" for
the most demanding CAD/CAE applications. The professionals at CAD
MicroSolutions, including engineers and technicians trained in civil,
electrical/electronic, and mechanical disciplines can draw on their
experience
and training to meet a client's specific requirements.
In addition to the above software and services, CAD MicroSolutions
sells and
supports a number of third party, application specific software
packages and
a complete line of quality hardware products. Our ongoing evaluation
of new
products, both hardware and software, means our clients will

Hardware/software mainframe attachment for high-speed
simulations for decision-
making.
The Cadence System is a hardware/software mainframe attachment
designed
specifically to perform high-speed simulations. Using planning data
from the
host database, the Cadence System executes complete "what if"
scenarios in
seconds, providing the information needed for strategic decision-
making.
The key to successful sales and operations planning is timely,
accurate data.
Cadence Computer Corporation has introduced a new technology that
makes
frequent, low cost simulation of manufacturing "what ifs" practical.
The Cadence
System provides a quantum leap in a corporation's ability to compete
on time.
It increases responsiveness to customers' needs, speeds internal
communication,
reduces uncertainty, cuts paperwork, and improves the overall
decision-making
process in the organization.
Three areas within a company that benefit from this planning tool
are: the
Materials Planning Group, which will receive the most dramatic
benefits by being
able to perform almost limitless, instantaneous "what ifs"; the
Information
Systems will be able to quickly prototype specialized reports for
planning
groups, resulting in improved productivity and better precision. In
addition,
they will be able to experiment with new applications and
enhancements to their
existing system; and the Computer Operations Group can offload
some of the
existing mainframe processing load to the Cadence System, thereby
significantly
reducing the current MRP runtime.
When used for tactical decision-making, the Cadence System will
produce
considerable savings. Inventory will be used more efficiently
because the
Cadence System will reduce purchased surplus inventories, minimize
residual
inventories associated with design changes, and lower setup costs.
Model-mix
changes can be made without adding unnecessary product to finished
inventories.
The Purchasing Department will be able to give vendors more
advance notice of
a reschedule, which will reduce manufacturing shortages, restocking
charges,
supplier overtime costs, and transportation premiums.
Above all, the Cadence System will produce accurate, consolidated
planning
information, which has traditionally been difficult and time
consuming to
generate.

Devices and
Switching Equipment.
DataComm also provides the Enhanced Facsimile System or EFS, to
correspond to
this change in media preference. This system is a fully featured

and is utilized
by carriers to optimize their communications networks with respect
to fax.
DataComm recently launched the Transcriber 2020 Bidirectional Fax
to Telex
Gateway Conversion Facility. The Transcriber 2020 provides for
complete
interworking between facsimile and telex networks. This
revolutionary product
enables present users of facsimile services to access the worldwide

with facsimile
users.
The Fax-Scrambler I is a user friendly desk-top facsimile encryption
device.
As well as ensuring the security of confidential or sensitive point to
point
fax transmissions, the Fax-Scrambler I guards your fax network by
eliminating

These new products allow service providers to offer store and
forward value
added switching and networking functions to facsimile users. The
introduction
of the new Fax Store and Forward Switching equipment will satisfy
a growing
requirement within PTT's worldwide, assuring CMC's customers of
our commitment
to remain as a leader and innovator in the area of text messaging.

products available.
Compar, originally the manufacturing arm of Weber Electronics, was
established
in 1976, and began shipping its first product in 1977 under a
licensed agreement
with a U.S. corporation. Within a year and a half, Compar engineers
developed
their own tooling and began to source their own suppliers, becoming
independent
of the U.S. company. Compar is now the only Canadian owned and
operated
connector manufacturer in the country.
In 1981, Compar expanded its product line and entered the D-
subminiature market.
We were the first manufacturer to incorporate a threaded insert
onto the metal
requirements. Customers benefit with an elimination of spare
hardware and as
much as five minutes of labour per connector in the plant.
The company's reputation for the highest quality products has grown
through
association with major computer and telecommunications companies
who
consistently demand such quality. High profile organizations
including AES,
Amdahl, Gandalf, Mitel, and NCR are customers of Compar. Northern
Telecom named
Compar a certified supplier of D-sub connectors in 1986, meaning
Compar products
are no longer subject to incoming inspection due to their
consistently high
quality.

Software for generating reports.
Cre8 Un Limited (incorporated 1978) currently has two products: a
computer
report generator and "The Simplest and Humoroust Teacher and
Reference Book"
for WordPerfect. Both are being successfully marketed locally and
the company
is seeking outside help for greater coverage.
"Seth", a completely conversational report generator, can be used by
anyone
immediately, without computer experience, training or manuals.
There are three
levels of conversation for novices, familiar, and experienced users.
Seth checks
each response thoroughly. If an error is detected, it displays a clear
message
and the request to "try again".
Versatile reports (detail and/or summary, cross-tabulation), record
selection,
calculations, sorting, etc. "?" feature permits explanation, re-
starting from
previous question or displaying all previous answers. User`s
responses can be
saved for future re-use, with changes at that time, if required.
Seth`s home environment is IBM/MVS, was converted to DEC/VAX in
one week, and
is convertible to any computer with COBOL, including micros. It
works by
generating and running a COBOL program for each request, containing
only the
code needed. Seth can easily be translated into other languages. Its
conversational format is also ideal for future adaptation to voice-
activated
machines. Local installations, including the Department of External
Affairs,
are very successful but CRE8 Un Limited is seeking a company to
promote
international sales, particularly in the United Kingdom and the U.S.
The company`s book is ideal for WordPerfect novices. This book is
small,
friendly and concentrates on the everyday needs of the typical user.
It is in
a sequence designed for learning but can also be used as a reference,
via the
contents list and index. Both versions 5.1 and 5.0 are shown side by
side where
they differ.

Designs and manufactures secure communication networks.
Cryptech Systems Inc. specializes in secure communication
networks. Cryptech
designs, manufactures and integrates security products in
conformance with
accepted industry standards. The company's mission of furnishing
custom
solutions to both large and small communication networks includes:
designing
hardware and software; creating key management strategies;
incorporating access
control technologies; and developing unique application-specific
algorithms.
Offering ongoing customer training and support, Cryptech aims to
provide a
total service to clients.
The SecureCard Family of ultra secure PC encryption products offers
a fully
featured range of encryption engines. These operate on the Data
Encryption
Standard (DES), Discrete Exponentiation (DE), Elliptic Curve (EC), or
the
Rivest, Shamir, Adelman (RSA) algorithms. Each is capable of
providing high
level encryption, message authentication, digital signature and key
management
implementations using both private and public key techniques on a
single board.
Cryptech products are the outcome of more than five years of
research at the
University of Waterloo, Ontario, which culminated in the custom
design of the
CA34C168 Data Encryption Processor (DEP). The processor, an 1186
bit, discrete
exponentiation VLSI chip, implemented in CMOS, provides maximum
flexibility in
design of key size, speed, and variations of algorithms. Elliptic
Curve and
other algorithmic implementations of the SecureCard product series
are
accomplished using a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip.
A major design objective of the SecureCard product series was to
offer maximum
flexibility in a variety of workstation environments. This has been
accomplished
by placing significant computing power within the coprocessors
themselves and
thereby minimizing processing requirements of the attached PC.
Whether
requirements are for a peer to peer communication; peer to host
communication;
secure file transfer; message authentication or authenicated remote
software
updates, SecureCard offers unparalleled flexibility to build a
transparent
cryptographic architecture. Cryptech's approach to securing a
network is based
on the principle of non intrusion; that is, Secure Card will not
impact the
performance, throughput, nor add significant management overhead
to the existing
network.
The SecureCard is an excellent tool for network managers who are
considering
securing data networks, securing a remote network of portable
computers, or even
ensuring the stability of remote software updates.

Manufactures and markets a patented amorphous (liquid) semi-

of low toxicity.
D.W. Electrochemicals manufacturers and markets a patented
amorphous (liquid)
semi-conductor polymer of low toxicity. This initially non-
conductive material,
Stabilant 22, can be switched to a conductive state by the
application of an
electric field gradient which can be as low as 200 volts/inch in gaps
of 1/1000
inch up to 12,000 volts/inch access insulating surfaces. Applied to
multiple
pin converters the material becomes conductive only within the
interstices of
the contact pairs - remaining non-conductive between adjacent
contacts. It thus
imparts to an electro-mechanical contact the reliability of a
soldered joint
without forming a mechanical bond.
The low vapour-density material has a life-in-place in excess of six
years in
most applications. It generally increases the reliability of a
connector from
one to two orders of magnitude 910x to 100x). Stabilant 22 and its
isopropanol-
diluted version, Stabilant 22A, is used in electronic equipment such
as: Bio-

numbers.
Initially we concentrated our major marketing efforts in Canada in
order to
create a base of satisfied users although several companies are
exporting our
material (within their own structure) to non-Canadian divisions.
Because no other company has been able to develop such a material -
our
marketing costs are very high. We have developed a marketing

Dantec Electronics as developed the Dryer Master over the past eight
years. It
is an automatic computerized grain dryer controller which brings
the dried
grains as close as possible to the target moisture as set by the
dryer operator.
The Dryer Master reduces the moisture deviation by over 50 per cent
as compared
to manually controlled dryers. This reduction of moisture deviation
results in
less overdrying of the grains and produces savings due to increased
product
yields, lower energy costs, improved product properties and quality,
and maximum
production rates. The savings yield a payback of approximately one
year.
The grain drying technology has also been adapted to industrial
drying
processes. The industrial Dryer Master controls such drying
processes as
Petfood, Soymeal, Plastics, and other particulate matter.
Over 400 systems now have been installed in many countries of the
world such
as Canada, the U.S., Brazil, Argentina and France. Dantec is looking to

one step
further. tableBASE dynamically manages data in memory (real, XA,
ESA) to avoid
substantial I/O and CPU overhead (up to 96% over conventional DBMS
methods).
tableBASE is ideally suited for any organization that experiences
high
transaction rates and a constantly changing business environment.
These
organizations can dramatically improve transaction throughput and
can shift
tedious maintenance work to their end-users.
Some potential markets include banks, retail organizations,
insurance companies,

groups in North America.
ANMA, the Advanced Network Management Architecture, from Datap
offers a unified
approach to surveillance and administration of telecom networks by
fully
integrating the information from all systems of different vendors
into one
database.
The software and hardware components of ANMA are designed to
process incoming

overview
of the network status. This overview is supported by other colour
graphics
workstations which provide zoom-in facilities depicting all relevant
details
of any failing network segment or equipment service affecting
degradations.
Based on the analysis of network performance impediments, such as
calling
overloads or cable cuts, ANMA software executes a preplan of

commands. Subsequently, network managers can use the ANMA
integrated maintenance
management software to schedule and dispatch service personnel, to
run an
automatic analysis and track repairs until full service is restored.
ANMA
software operates on any Digital VAX computer system from
workstation to large
VAX cluster configurations supporting more than a million monitored

Develop and promote tools for disk management.
DEMAC Software Ltd is a Canadian company incorporated in 1984 to
develop and
promote tools for disk management. Our family of products are
installed at
thousands of VAX and PDP sites worldwide, helping System Managers
ensure their
systems are fast, efficient and secure.
SQEEZPAK/VMS is an on-line disk optimization and compression
utility designed
to maintain disk operation at peak efficiency. It will significantly
enhance
overall system performance by making fragmented files contiguous
and
consolidating free space, thereby reducing physical disk accesses
involved in
file reading and writing in the system. It works transparently and
unattended
while the disk is still on line and available to users, is completely
safe to
use and may be run in any of three different modes of operation.
SQUEEZPAK/VMS
operates with VMS Version 4.0 and higher.
SQUEEZPAK/RSX will maintain disk operation at peak efficiency in
RSX systems.
It also accesses all files using standard FILES-11 calls and runs in
either
interactive or batch mode. It operates with RSX11-M, Version 3.2
and higher;
RSX-11M-PLUS, Version 1 and higher; and MicroRSX, Version 1 and
higher.
PAKMANAGER is a powerful tool for controlling disk space usage and
increasing
disk performance in VAX/VMS systems. It generates a detailed
analysis of disk
space usage under various categories and uncovers sources of space
wastage.
It also identifies hidden causes of lost disk performance. Wasted
disk space
can be recovered immediately and disk usage then closely monitored
with
PAKMANAGER in order to keep disk space availability at a peak. It
operates with
VMS Version 4.0 and higher.SECUREPAK is a new security control and
audit utility
for VAX/VMS systems. It enhances the Security Manager's ability to
establish,
audit and monitor a security setup, to a degree previously not
possible with
VMS. It's most powerful feature determines the effect of making
changes to
protections and privileges before they are actually altered. It also
flags
changes to a security setup by generating a detailed model of the
setup and
comparing it with a previously stored model. It operates with VMS
Version 4.0
and higher.
All DEMAC products are backed by the highest standards in customer
service and
support. Our trained and experienced software specialists are
available at all
times to assist customers in the installation, evaluation and
operation of all
DEMAC products.
DEMAC provides media, complete user documentation, full technical
support and
software update service for an initial period with each license.

Automated mapping and facilities management products.
Enghouse Systems Limited provides to automated mapping and
facilities management
users a product unique in its approach to solving the problems of full
workstation functionality, yet maintaining cost effective
performance. In order
to achieve this goal, Enghouse Systems believes that AS/FM
functionality and
cost effectiveness should be a result of powerful software without
costly
hardware dependency.
The CableCad approach is to utilize the performance and flexibility
provided
through powerful 80286 and 80386 micro-computer processors
along with software
developed with the users` applications as a requirement. Powerful
hardware and
software in conjunction with readily available high resolution
graphics
monitors, co-processors, various plotters and digitizing peripherals,
provide
the user with features and options which will satisfy the most
demanding AM/FM
utility requirement.
The Enghouse System is an integrated graphic/non-graphic engine
that allows for
full network connectivity and provides the user with power never
before
available on a micro computer. With this system the user can build a
complete
facilities management system to meet his specific needs. The
American Public
Power Association has standardized on this system to meet the
mapping needs of
its membership for power distribution lines. Bell Canada is using it
for
creation of its work order for building new cable networks. Others
are using
it for water and sewer design and management.

IBM PC and compatible software for business applications.
Exton Software has been developing integrated business packages
for the P.C.
since 1982.EBS is a software package, developed for IBM PC
compatible computers.
It is written in COBOL, which is primarily a mainframe/mini
computer language,
so that the software can be readily transferred to larger computers
if the
opportunity presents itself.
EBS is a series of generically designed software modules that create
standard
financial systems that are flexible to change, both for the end user
and the
programmer.
For instance, a point of sales module was developed from EBS, which
not only
interfaces directly with a cash drawer, but also with the rest of the
EBS
financial modules, providing a comprehensive, integrated business
package.
The hospitality module is an extension of the very popular touch pad
system
found in many fast food restaurants. Menus are built in the computer
database
and are displayed for selection on the monitor, where the order is
also created.
Unlike the touch pad system however, it is unlimited in terms of the
scope and
size of menus.Because of the ease of development with EXACT, it
readily lends
itself to developing systems for "vertical" markets. For instance, a
golf club
package has been developed including specific requirements such as
computerized
handicapping, tournament scheduling and membership billing.
EXTON has also acquired the sole Canadian distribution rights to the
ASNA
software, including ACCELER8 and RPG 111, two outstanding
software packages,
both of which have been endorsed by the IBM National Solution
Centre, as well
as four other smaller packages, designed to enhance development
performance on
IBM hardware. In addition, Exton distributes CYBRA software in

decision-makers,
useful water-related information and risk assessments. It
addresses the
concerns of government agencies as to the adequacy of current and
contemplated
water and land use policies, regulations and support programs. It
provides to
the resource users, assessments of the efficiency and cost-
effectiveness of
resource uses, of compatibility of objectives,consistency of likely
supplies
and stated demands, and therefore of risks of water-related
conflicts, excessive
costs, shortages, or unacceptable pollution.

In the Near future, these fonts will be formatted for use with IBM

Atari, and Amiga supported output devices. Only a short time ago
typestyles and
fonts were unknown except to those concerned with typography; the
combination
of page design,typesetting, and printing.
With the advent of the Desktop Publishing industry this has changed
drastically.
When the industry was in its infancy there was little compatibility
between
hardware of differing manufacture and end users were limited as to
the styles
of type they could exploit. This is no longer so, and fonts are now a

when selling computer hardware.
Giampa is rapidly releasing many more faces from Lanston's

HCL designs and markets a family of X servers for DOS PCs.
Hummingbird Communications Ltd. (HCL) was founded in 1984 as an
engineering
consulting company providing services in voice/data and micro to
mainframe
communications. HCL's founders came with extensive experience
from Mitel Corp.,
Philips Information Systems, and Execunet Corp.
Presently HCL is marketing its HCL-eXceed family of X servers
which allow PCs
to be used as X window terminals in the networked environment.
However,
experience is not limited as outlined below.
HCL performed a project for British Telecom in carrying out an
extensive
analysis of the proposed Qwerty-phone which was visualized as a
low entry
product to provide advanced directory and dialling features to a wide
variety
of users. HCL enhanced the design and proposed various additional
functionality
to B.T. The released Qwerty-phone contained much of the design
changes suggested
by the company.We also have an ongoing relationship with Memorex-
Telex Corp.,
a supplier of IBM 3270 equipment. Based on Memorex-Telex's market
image and
customer base, HCL conceived the idea of a combined function
terminal. We
specified the functionality of the terminal and implemented all the
main and
telephony software in addition to the main logic board and
telephone/modem
board.
The terminal, the C078, involves a number of firsts. The C078
incorporates a
total windowed and multi-tasking environment that allows a user to
simultaneously access an IBM host via IBM plug compatible 3278, a
DEC host via
VT-220, a remote data base via the internal 300/1200 baud modem
and a feature
telephone. The product achieves a level of functionality via its
simple yet
powerful human interface that has not been attempted by other
terminal
manufacturers.
HCL designed and implemented an add on card for the IBM PC3XT/AT
or compatibles
which is an engine for VAX VT-220 connectivity. The card, the HCL-
220 provides
two simultaneous VT-220 terminal emulations without sacrificing
throughput or
video image. In addition HCL-220 supports true concurrency with the
PC as the
engine is driven by its own Intel 80186 processor. PC sessions may
be viewed
on the screen simultaneously with the VT-220 sessions via the
card's windowing
software.
The product supports levels of emulation and functionality which
cannot be
performed by software-only packages. The product received the
1988 Digital
Review Target Award for Best Communication Hardware and is
distributed
worldwide, except in Canada, by AST Research Inc. of Irvine
California.We have
also designed and implemented NyTalk, an IBM PC add in board which
allows for
simple, yet powerful, integration of a telephone and a PC. The
product has many
features including: a variety of user dialling techniques; automatic
call
logging; tone and pulse dialling; auto directory pop-up when the
handset is
lifted; special one key form dialling mode; and 1000 number resident
directory.

Developed a new type of relational database management system.
IBX Datasystems has developed (and is currently beta testing) a new
and unique
type of relational database management system that lends itself to
the emulation
of hierarchically structured (and to some degree,network structured
file
systems, while supporting modern relational access methods
throughout. The
current database language is an enhanced version of Query-by-
Example (QBE), with
special adaptations for hierarchical data structures. IBX's QBE has
at least
the same expressive power as SQL.
The software is based on the server concept, is multi-user in nature
and
operates in conjunction with Unix System V.2 control software. Its
codename
is SARA.
The server capabilities of the software make it possible to use
SARA from either
PC workstations or standard terminals, in either local area network
or wide area
network configurations.Under Unix System V.3 the software will
allow wide area
networking of distributed record storage. In order to accomplish
this properly
SARA supports complete transaction integrity which means that it
has full
defences against any electrical or software malfunction that stops
short of
causing physical damage to the disk storage.
In actual operation, a programmer uses a Macintosh workstation
connected to SARA
to design any desired data relationships and to program update and
retrieval
queries graphically. These graphical designs are stored in the
database and
are available for later access by name. They can be accessed with
any computer
program that supports IBX's language libraries (which are available
in universal
form as C language modules). The program can be run on either PC's
under any
desired monitor (e.g. DOS, QNX, Unix, etc.), or from standard
terminals. The
special nature of the SARA database manager provides complete
referential
integrity during update transactions.
IBX is currently looking for consultant clients that would like to
license the
product as part of CASE-oriented systems integration efforts that
require
offloading mainframes onto departmental computing systems, in
either local or
distributed settings.
IBX would also be interested in licensing the language libraries to
provide
value-added to existing spreadsheet products.

Software for the graphics market which produces painterly effects
on still and
moving images.
ImageWare is a Canadian owned and operated company founded in
1987 which
produces a software package called ImagePaint for the creative
graphics market.
ImagePaint is the first program that produces "painterly" effects on
both still
and moving images. With ImagePaint, a user can take an image and
render it to
look hand drawn in any number of classical drawing and painting
styles such as
water colour, oil, ink, charcoal, pencil crayon, pastels and
lithography, or
more exotic effects such as reflective chrome and refractive glass.
The company has sold Image Paint software to various facilities in
the U.S.,
the Netherlands and Hong Kong. In addition, ImageWare recently
signed licensing
agreements with AT&T / Graphics Software Labs for marketing and
distribution
of ImagePaint for the Targa/ATVista workstation marketplace and
with Dubner
Computer Systems for their product line of Video Paintboxes. With
the release
of ImagePaint for the Truevision Targa/ATVista and Dubner,
ImageWare is
anticipating increased sales with larger markets.
We are currently developing software implementations of
ImagePaint for the video
post-production and the pre-press/desktop publishing markets. In
addition we
plan to construct a hardware box/specialized computer in order to
produce
painterly effects at video broadcast rates of thirty frames per
second.

information
produced by their organization and to guide decision-making. This
field is
commonly known as IMSS (Interactive Management Support System),
IDSS
(Interactive Decision Support System), and EIS (Executive

to access any kind of information in any format - table, histogram,
pie, curve
etc.; and rules of analysis system with automates the diagnoses
made regarding
the company.
The software operates under DOS with Microsoft's Windows
software. It may also
be operated with a microcentral communication system or in a local
network. It
is fed from existing data banks and makes it possible to take full
advantage
of the mass of information transmitted directly from the
organization's computer
systems or from those that are manually captured.
Media requires an IBM or compatible computer with a 640 k memory
(including 365
k of available memory), a hard disk, a graphics board (Hercules, EGA
or VGA),
a mouse or a touch-sensitive screen.
Info Innov is presently preparing the information server which will

on Digital Equipment Corporation`s LSI Minicomputers (Q-bus
architecture). Our
market has consisted of high-volume original equipment
manufacturers and end-
users, both of which are technically knowledgeable and capable of
adding value
in the form of hardware and software. The Company has provided an
all-purpose
computer to a broad range of market applications, mainly in Canada,
with the
existing export market being addressed primarily with our board-
level products.
The Company now plans to become a manufacturer of specialized
computer systems
in specific areas of application, providing full customer support
services.
KOM has strengthened its marketing and R&D groups to pursue new
product and
market opportunities in selected areas of application, with both
hardware and
software offerings. Emphasis is being placed on export market
development,
particularly the U.S. KOM U.S.A. has been incorporated to provide a
U.S. base
of operations.
Two recently developed applications with considerable export
potential are a
data acquisition system incorporating our computer systems and
optical disk
technology and a high capacity laser disk filing system. Both
systems also
incorporate KOM-proprietary software and use optical (laser)
"write-once" disk
drives.
KOM currently sells its products in Canada, the U.S., Europe and
Egypt. With
overseas markets we negotiate business relations with distributors
who have a
fair amount of software/hardware experience with Digital
Equipment Corp.
computers. They have the responsibility of supporting the product.
In Europe we currently sell to France, Italy, Denmark, Norway and
the
Netherlands. In 1989, we sought new countries for distribution such
as Sweden,
Finland, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland.
We hope to negotiate a relationship with distributors and OEM`s
familiar with
Digital Equipment products.OptiFile is a special technique developed
by KOM Inc.
that allows write once, read many (WORM) optical disk drives to
emulate standard
magnetic disk drives, despite the write once nature of the optical
media. This
permits computer users to take advantage of the huge storage
capacity and
relative indestructibility of optical disks without significant
changes to the
application software.
With the increase in popularity of erasable optical disk drives and
the new
multi function drives which can accept both WORM and erasable
media, the
OptiFile II product has been expanded to include support for these
drive types.
This enables a user to mix WORM, erasable, and multi-function
drives on the same
system using the same controlling software and access data on
these drives as
though they were magnetic disk drives.
OptiServer is a versatile interface based on OptiFile II that
integrates optical
disk servers with VMS and Unix host computers, while delivering
magnetic disk
emulation. OptiServer manages the functioning of the jukebox with
the host
adapter, without interfering with the operating system or
application programs.

Lakewood is a 100 per cent privately owned Canadian company which
was originally
established as an Engineering Company to provide consulting, design,

several different
types of radio and telephone data acquisition systems which were
the forerunners
of its first battery operated datalogger.
Successful datalogger beta tests were completed by 1982 and
Lakewood phased out
is engineering activities and consolidated its research and
development efforts
into datalogging devices. After committing over one million dollars
into
datalogger hardware and software development it has now become

Larnen Tasar Inc. develops hardware-based security products for IBM

personal computers operating in the DOS environment.
These LT-LOCK products provide access control under a dual system
and user
password scheme, backup utilities for copying files and directories
from the
harddisk to floppy disks, and file encryption utilities. Encryption is
software-based to the DES algorithm. Without the submission of a
valid
password, the hardware-based design denies access to any floppy
diskdrives, thus
providing a genuine protection not possible with a purely software
based system.
The product line presently comprises XT-LOCK for IBM PC-XT's and
compatibles
AT-LOCK for IBM PC-AT's and compatibles - including Compaq
286/386 models and
AOC-LOCK for the M6000 computer from Northern Telecom. The next
major product
thrust emphasizes the broader context of information protection,
not only by
restricting access on a need-to-know basis, but to promote
improved management
of data to protect against accidental and malicious damage through
fast, regular
and systematic backing up of valuable information resources.
This aspect is addressed by a new product, SAFEGARD, to be used for
backing up
information stored on any hard disk. We believe this product will
set a new
performance standard, beyond anything currently available - such as
FASTBACK
PLUS, etc. It is designed to be non copy-protected, user friendly,
with a mouse
interface and extremely fast in operation. Priced at competitive
level, we
expect ready market acceptance with good sales level. The margins
are such to
permit comfortable maneuverability in the market.
Larsen Taser Inc. is anxious to extend distributorships and

Logo Computer Systems Inc (LCSI) is the primary producer of Logo
computer
language products worldwide. The Company has brought together
some of the
world`s most accomplished educational specialists, computer
programmers and
systems engineers to develop the Logo language and to provide high
quality
learning tools.LCSI designed the first commercial implementation of
the Logo
programming language for microcomputers.
In 1982 the Company`s first product, Apple Logo, was released. This
product
was developed by LCSI and sold to Apple Computer, Inc. which
marketed it under
the Apple label, a unique contract for the industry at that time.
Since then,
LCSI has entered into contracts with most major original equipment
manufacturers
and has developed more than 23 versions of the Logo language. The
public
response has been enthusiastic and Logo has become part of the
vocabulary of
educators.
Logo is best known for its turtle graphics. The turtle, a graphics
cursor
displayed on the screen, obeys simple commands and leaves a trail
to show where
it has been. Through turtle graphics, children explore many of the
concepts
of geometry and algebra, as well as fundamentals of calculus and
trigonometry.
Logo`s simplicity, flexibility and efficacy are some of the many
characteristics
which have commanded such tremendous respect from educators
worldwide. Because
of its popularity in the field of education, Logo has been developed
for all
major microcomputers and is now available in eight spoken
languages. It is on
Required Software Lists for schools around the world.
LogoWriter is the next generation of the Logo computer language; it
provides
programming, graphics and word processing capabilities. LogoWriter
is unique
in that its word processing function can be used to form texts and
logo
programming can be used to make the text dynamic.LogoWriter`s
ability to
integrate writing and graphics enriches the environment of Logo
programming.
Turtle graphics help students learn mathematical concepts,
important programming
ideas, thinking skills and problem solving techniques. Word
processing adds
another dimension to Logo, a dimension in which words and language
become more
meaningful and accessible.
LogoWriter is a flexible tool which allows students to take control
of the
learning experience. Using LogoWriter, students can write and
illustrate
stories and reports, design crossword puzzles, create animation,
compose music,
create a database, learn programming and much more.
The LogoWriter Primary and LogoWriter Intermediate packages come
complete with
a wide variety of support materials including teachers` manuals,

Soft-Pak protective covering for computer equipment etc.
Manta Industries Ltd. was founded in 1916 to provide tents and
tarpaulins for
the Canadian market. Since then our product line has expanded
considerably
including bags and carrying cases of all kinds, insulated tents,
fabric covers
of all kinds, and standard and specialty industrial fabric (canvas
etc.)
products for industrial and commercial users and distributors. A
large number
of varied products are produced for the Canadian military
establishment, as well
as for Canada Post.
Marketing is directed mainly through large distributors, retail
chains, and
direct users, as well as the Federal Government. Careful attention to
the
individual requirements of customers is a priority of Manta
Industries, and we
are able to work with the customer to develop new items to fit their
specific
needs.
The company's main market is Canada. Export sales to the U.S. are
comparatively
small at present, consisting of Soft-Pak protective containers, sold
to
electronic, computer, and utility companies for the protection of
their
equipment.
Sales are presently on a direct basis to users, but there is an
obvious need
for several agents to cover the field. Since the price of the Soft-Pak
is a
small fraction of the cost of the protected equipment, the customer
is buying
on the basis of quality; cost competition is not a factor.

on reusability. By integrating unique program specifications with
code copied
and adapted from reusable modules called frames, NETRON/CAP
automates COBOL
applications. One master frame controls the function-specific
frames by
identifying, adapting and integrating output, and it is the only frame
that
users need to edit. The technology's open architecture also allows
users to
write corporate standards, automatically building corporate
programming
standards into custom applications.

proprietary
software architecture Bassett Frame Technology. To help software
engineers
efficiently create polished, high-quality systems that satisfy user
and
corporate requirements, NETRON/CAP incorporates many special
features. Netron
is involved with restructuring (with tools that convert CICS and IMS
maps into
our CAPscreen format, another that optimizes COBOL source, and one
that re-
formats COBOL source) and reverse-engineering (by capturing
existing programs
and parts from programs in reusable frames and by NETRON/CAP's

Produces and markets computer aided engineering and design CAED
software.
Quantic Laboratories Inc. was founded in 1983 for the purpose of the
production
and marketing of computer aided engineering and design (CAED)
software primarily
for the electrical/electronics industry. Quantic markets the
GREENFIELD family
of software products for the simulation of parasitic effects on
high-speed
printed circuit boards and ICs.
At high speeds impedance mismatch at connectors and devices
causes reflections,
ringing and signal distortion. Cross-talk results from line
proximity.
GREENFIELD produces time-domain waveforms, on the computer
monitors, that assist
the designer to avoid needless prototyping. Previously, operating as
Tasc Ltd,
a number of participants have been involved in software
developments,
engineering and consulting and a new topographic imaging
methodology using
electrical impedance contrast. Sample contracts were: air-traffic
control
simulation using associative memory (D.O.T.); imaging of buried
ordinance
(D.N.D.); computer recording head analysis (Xerox Corporation); etc.
Quantic Laboratories Inc. is involved in a sizeable R&D contract with
a Winnipeg
transformer manufacturer, on the analysis of destructive magnetic
forces due
to short-circuit conditions. In the meantime, we are completing the
development
of a software package that has general application to engineering
and electrical
engineering in particular. Our software is to be used by customers
of a new
engineering/workstation computer.
With the availability of powerful and inexpensive computers, the
demand for
engineering applications software is experiencing an explosive
growth. For a
number of years, we have been developing engineering computer
programs for our
own problem-solving purposes related to consulting contracts. We
have now
virtually completed the task of making these programs "user-
friendly" and are
in a position to market them.

Full-service web printing organization for typesetting, page make-

RBW Graphics is a full-service web printing organization, dedicated
to the total
automation of typesetting, page make-up, pre-press, press, binding
and mailing.
RBW was the first to design and utilize a viable tape-to-type
system for
electronically generating directory pages. This system can now be
applied to
the pagination of price lists, parts lists or other listings that have
been
input onto a controlled magnetic tape.
RBW has also developed an electronic publishing system, whereby
clients may
input, up-date and make changes on their own terminal, personal
computer or word
processor. This information is put onto a diskette and sent to RBW
or it can
be transmitted directly to RBW via standard telephone lines. This
system is
best suited to magazines, law statutes, books and technical manuals.
Custom
designed systems can be developed to handle specific needs, often
creating spin
offs for other applications than printing. For catalogues, magazines
or
directory classified sections, RBW uses CAD/CAM layout terminals
to size display
type, draw boarders and create special layouts, all electronically.
The photos,
art and type are digitized and transmitted directly to RBW where the
information
is electronically converted to complete pages, ready for printing.
This
information is transmitted both domestically and internationally in
many
different languages.
RBW's large-run, heat-set presses are equipped with the latest
computer
controlled systems for measuring ink levels, colour densities and
folders.
The RBW Post-Aid mail mangagement system assists in cutting
costs and saving
time with large mailings. It does this by pre-sorting mailings to the
postal
walk stage, and merging and purging multiple files of names and
addresses.
Remote communications are compatible with IBM 2780/3780 batch

Developer of a dispensary program for prescription drug records &

REF Computer Corporation was incorporated in 1982 for the purpose
of developing
a computerized pharmacy dispensary system, based on IBM PC
technology. The
system known as the "C-1/ST", was introduced in early 1983 and to
date has been
installed in more than 700 stores across Canada.
To compliment this product REF has also developed a retail Point-
of-Sale
system. This system, based on the IBM family of PC's, combined
with Ref's new
"SOFTERM" retail terminal provides a powerful tool for a retailer to
control
his inventory.
"SOFTERM" is an innovative Point-Of-Sale terminal developed
through the
integration of industry standard PC hardware and software
technologies with
field-proven Point-Of-Sale products and technologies.
"SOFTERM" is based on the new NCR 2122 Retail Terminal. With the
addition of
the "SOFTERM" logic board the NCR 2122 becomes the first POS
terminal that is
fully "soft" and MS-DOS compatible.
We have had the greatest success selling our products when they are
"sponsored"
and sold by a large wholesaler. For example the C-1 S/T pharmacy
(and Nursing
Home) package has been successfully sold by Drug Trading and
Northwest Drug
in Canada and they have now decided to sponsor the Point-Of-Sale
products in
the retail pharmacy market.
We are seeking to expand our markets into the U.S., Western Europe
and other
large English speaking markets and would welcome locally based
partners in
these target markets.The point-of-sale software and Ref "SOFTERM"
board are
particularly well suited for other VAR's and systems integrators to

Phone: (604)926-7766 Fax: 604-922-1471
Developer of software application packages for the hotel and resort
industry.
The Company incorporated in 1978, a software application package
for the Hotel
and Resort Industry using the latest small system hardware
available. The first
system product was a software package called HotelSoft which was
installed in
a resort property in Whistler, B.C. in 1980.
Since then Resort Systems has designed a central reservation
system, ResSoft,
for the Whistler Resort Association. Central reservation systems
based on this
project have since been installed in National and Regional Hotel
Chains.
Based on this system, an application package was put together for a
Vacation
Wholesaler in the USA, representing a number of Properties in the
USA, Canada
and Mexico. Six sales agents handled several hundred villas and
condominiums
and other vacation properties in major resort areas.
Further extensions of the existing software product were developed
through add-
on products such as PropSoft, a Resort Property Management system
for
individually owned units. This module was developed to be fully
integrated to
either HotelSoft or ResSoft to provide home-owner accounting
resulting in
monthly financial statements for individual units.
All of the existing software has been converted from the mini
computer
environment to a micro based system utilizing a multi-user, multi-
tasking
operating system. The system now runs exclusively on Intel/286
and Intel/386
platforms using the IBM PS/2 Series of Computers and compatible
systems.
Resort Systems client base now spans North America from the
Arctic Circle to
Florida in the east and from Alaska to Southern Claifornia in the
west. 1989
also brought about the first installation in to Hong Kong as the
company`s
initial entry into the Pacific Rim. The installation base consists of
properties varying greatly in size from 40 rooms to 600 rooms, with
the majority
of installations being in properties under 300 rooms. Systems have
been
installed in resort properties, down-town hotels and airport
locations, each
representing a different and distinct segment of the hotel market.

highly
qualified software and hardware engineers that design and
manufacture state of
the art security systems. The company operates a facility including
offices,
laboratory and assembly area.Products include SecurTi and SecurKey.
The SecurTi interface units have the capability to encrypt or decrypt
a message
while communicating in either synchronous or asynchronous mode.
All SecurTi
units are stand alone intelligent devices with the ability to transmit
and
receive clear or encrypted data. The unit may be used with a micro
or mainframe
computer which is only necessary for the generation and transfer of
the message
to be transmitted.
Securkey has developed a unique method whereby the key to decode
the message
is generated automatically and can be conveyed securely and
electronically
throughout the communications network employing the SecurTi
units. Decoding is
automatic with the result that the users deal in plain language
although the
entire transmission is in code. The system is being expanded to
encode voice
and satellite transmission.
The company has also developed a software system called SecurKey
which is used
in financial institutions for use in international transactions. This
system
runs on PCs and expedites the handling and authentication of wire
messages.
The SecurKey software is a multi user system designed to automate
and secure
the test key procedure. It is executable on PCs which are either
stand alone
or linked to a network. Since the software runs in a PC environment
it may be
used at both the branch and/or head office levels.
The typical SecurKey Customer is any firm or organization with the
need to
transfer sensitive information with point to point security.
Customers include
chartered banks, trust and loan companies, financial and securities

Customized software for forms design.
Shana Corporation was founded in May of 1985 to provide custom
software products
for the medical market. Over the past 4 years, Shana has moved away
from custom
applications and into the development of broader based commercial
applications
such as the Informed family of products designed to address the
needs of form
design and forms management.
"Informed" is an advanced forms generation and management package
which is sold
as separate applications. Informed Designer provides the most
comprehensive list
of forms design features available on the Macintosh. Offering
professional
design capability, Informed Designer can create any form using
either a scanned
image of an existing form or the extensive drawing tools included. In
addition
to an exhaustive list of design features, Informed Designer can
create forms
that include extensive formatting options, automatic calculations
and error
checking, choice lists, look-ups, and a host of other features to
ensure forms
completion is as quick and accurate as possible.
Informed Mini-Manager is designed to fill in forms created with the
Designer.
The Mini-Manager is also a database which saves all forms so they
can be
completed, printed, edited or manipulated at any time. Import/export
functions
allow the user to move data between Informed and other databases
or
spreadsheets.
Informed AutoForm is an innovative data entry tool which provides
specific
control over the storage and flow of data. The AutoForm Builder
turns forms
created with Informed Designer into stand-alone applications called
autoforms.
No other application is needed to fill out the forms. In creating
auotforms,
the Builder selects options which include setting where the data
will be saved,
whether that location can be changed by the user, and whether the
form can
export to a text file.
Shana Corporation's primary markets are located in the U.S., however
the company
does sell its products worldwide. Markets include legal, government

Design, development and manufacture of manual and automated
simulations for
various business, military, government and entertainment
applications.
Simulations Canada is a diversified firm of several operating
divisions centring
around the design, development, and manufacture of manual and
automated
simulations for various business, military, government, and
entertainment
applications. Each division of the firm is broken up into target
market groups
for purposes of product development. Manual simulations, which are
still
marketed, are confined to the Entertainment group, while automated
(that is,
computerized) simulations are now the central activity of each of
the other
groups, as well as of all new work in the Entertainment group. All
of our
software and accompanying materials are made in Canada to provide
a Canadian
Content of 100%, though we have taken advantage of electronic
information
systems find the best people possible for each project, allowing us
to contract
out specific projects to programmers in four different countries.
Export dominates our sales patterns. With distributors and agents in
Australia,
England, Europe, Japan, and the United States, as well as sales and
warehouse
facilities in both Canada and the U.S., 90% of our sales are outside
Canada.
Due to the export restrictions on some of our more sophisticated
software
products, we do not anticipate expanding markets to nations that are
not members
of the Western Alliances, specifically NATO and Japan.

Developer of a 4D creative environment for graphics used in diverse
applications.
The Softimage 4D Creative Environment is capable of producing a
very wide range
of highly sophisticated imagery which can be applied in science,
medicine,
engineering, architecture and manufacturing, as well as in the
entertainment
industry.
Special features include: skeleton-based modelling and animation,
infinite
hierarchy, uncommonly subtle polygonal mesh and patches, and
motion blur.
MODEL - allows you to build very complex objects from the simplest
contours.
Using either patch or polygonal mesh, a huge variety of 3D shapes
can be
created. All sensible operations can be applied to selected regions
of the
growing models, or globally. Model features an incredibly flexible
hierarchy
which allows you to join pieces of any object, and modify each piece
independently or globally. Model also computes volume and surface
measurements.
ACTOR - allows you to add internal skeletal structures to the
models you build.
Displayed as lines and curves, such structures represent series of
control
joints, which are used to set degrees of freedom or constraint to any
part of
your model. These parameters define the articulation and
deformation of the
object, and are used to animate models in Motion. One of the most
impressive
applications of Actor is character-animation.
MOTION - Allows you to place your object, lights and cameras in a
scene, where
you can make them interact and compliment one another. It allows
you to create
paths of motion for those elements, and to animate their shapes,
hierarchies
and material definitions according to the specific information set by
time and
space curves. Motion also helps you simulate stochastic or
behavioral movement
and reproduce fluid body movement using the structures created in
Actor.
MATTER - is an extremely interactive material editor and renderer,
allowing you
to create photo-realistic images. It gives you amazing control over
material
properties such as light, colour, solid or mapped textures,
transparency,
reflection and refraction, allowing you to render your images using
an
incredibly fast scanline rendering and does production-speed
raytracing -if cast
shadows, soft shadows, reflections or motion blur are required.
ACTION - enables you to launch the rendering of any scene, or
sequence of
scenes, while you work in one of the other modules. When linked to
output
equipment, Action also enables you to transfer images, in a variety
of
resolutions and formats, to mediums such as video, HDTV or film.

SoftPlan enables professional home builders and designers to
produce exceptional
quality floor plans, elevations and cross sections in considerably
less time
than by drawing by hand or employing a conventional CAD program.
SoftPlan was developed specifically for designing residential and
small
commercial buildings. Although this program is incredibly easy to
use, it
employs a great deal of programming sophistication to allow the
home designer
to draw with walls, windows, doors, and roofs instead of just lines,
as in
ordinary CAD packages.
Dimensions in these building components are then taken into account
when
automatically producing the elevations, cross-sections and material
take offs
from the floor plans.
Plan modifications can be made within minutes. The powerful Edit
feature allows
the SoftPlan user to easily move walls with all of the doors,
windows, outlets
and switches remaining attached. The Dimension feature would then
automatically
recalculate all of the effected dimensions. The package comes with

products to solve
virtually all these problems. Targa's memory systems operate
without mechanical
motion and demonstrate permanent data integrity even when
disconnected from the
power source. As a result, they have superior ruggedness and are
more reliable
than either tape recorders or disk drives.
Targa's first entry into the field of rugged data storage technology
was in the
area of hydrographic surveying. Since then, the company has
supplied rugged
data systems for such applications as offshore oil rigging in the
North Sea,
automotive manufacturing in the nation's automobile capital, and
aerospace
industry uses in California. Several military applications have also
turned
to Targa's bubble memory for its reliability and data security.

System tuning and modelling software.
Founded in 1980, Technetronic Inc. has developed the Explicit
performance
analysis and capacity planning software for system tuning or system
modelling.
Technetronic's Explicit MVS mainframe and SNA network
performance data analyzers
summarize performance data and then download it to intelligent
terminals (PCs)
for analysis off-line with the following advantages: increases
available host
processing capacity; faster easier interactive analysis of
performance data
without any programming; reduces amount of storage space;
identifies trends and
predicts the effects of system application and user changes;
anticipates
bottlenecks and service deterioration; uses the historical mainframe
and SNA
network workload for capacity planning.
The Explicit MVS Mainframe of SNA Network Capacity Planner runs
on a PC/AT or
PS/2 and allows system managers, who need not learn analytic
queuing theory or
use any programming, to model MVS mainframe performance data.
The data
processing system hardware and its configuration workloads are
described to the
Explicit MVS Capacity Planner using a series of menus and data entry
screens
to input parameters in response to screen prompts.
The workload may be defined manually or by using the Explicit MVS
Autoprofiler
that transforms summary performance data from the intelligent
Explicit terminal
database into data for the Explicit MVS Capacity Planner.As well,
the company
developed and markets Graphics Gateway, a graphic interface to any
host SAS
database such as MICS and MXG. Local graphics processing benefits
the user by
efficient host to workstation communication of data and off-line
graphic
presentation for analysis. It provides a user-definition language that
facilitates access to individual data sets within the SAS database,
either on-
line, or by downloading selected data from the database to the PC
workstation
database. The user can then disconnect from the host and examine
the host SAS
data as a stand-alone workstation.

Developer of advanced computer language and artificial intelligence
products.
The Gunakara Sun Systems Limited (TGS Systems) is a developer of
advanced
computer languages and Artificial Intelligence products. Our
primary product
is Prograph - a complete software development system currently
implemented on
the Apple Macintosh.
At the core is a completely pictorial, object-oriented, dataflow
style
programming language with built-in source code debugger.
Integrated with this
are the high-level editors of Application Builder which allow
WYSIWYSG
construction of a program`s user interface. In addition, Prograph
provides
access to Macintosh Toolbox calls. The result is an easy to use,
unified
development environment which supports the entire software
development process,
from design to debugging.
Prograph`s completeness and versatility make it suitable for
software design,
development and engineering; for relational and object-oriented
database queries
and applications development; for CASE (Computer Aided Software
Engineering);
and for parallel processing application. Prograph features powerful
and easy
to use prototyping and visual debugging facilities.
Prograph`s pictorial nature makes it uniquely suitable for
international,
particularly non-Indo-European, markets. The Middle East and
Pacific Rim areas
will therefore be marketing priorities after the North American and
Western
European markets have been established. DOS, OS2 are planned a
UNIX version

Designer of psychophysiological monitoring instrumentation.
Thought Technology was founded in 1974 to produce an inexpensive
instrument
which incorporated new technology in order to assist individuals in
learning
stress management.
Since then, the company has progressed from a one product firm to
the world's
leading biofeedback manufacturer with a complete line of
psychophysiological
monitoring instrumentation which includes EMG, Temperature, Heart
Rate, Skin
Conductance, Skin Resistance, Blood Volume Pulse and Respiration
monitors.
Throughout the past 13 years, the products of the company have
consistently been
focused on human monitoring and feedback. The GSR1, developed in
1975, was
followed by the GSR 2, and subsequently by the GSR/Temp 2. All of
these
instruments monitor the sympathetic nervous system and indicate
changes in its
activity through either skin pore size or peripheral temperature. The
resulting
changes are communicated to the user of the instruments through
either a tone
or meter reading, so they can learn self control.
Thought Technology also manufactures the MyoTrac and
MyoDac2/MyoComp EMG
monitors using microminiature surface mount technology. MyoDac's
software,
MyoComp, allows dual channel monitoring, scanning and biofeedback.
Additionally,
the firm would like to introduce its latest product, MyoForce, which
is a
powerful and proven diagnostic muscle testing system. Combined
with the MyoDac2,
the user has the ability to monitor EMG activity at the same time as
muscle
strength, two important measures of injury and pain. It also enables
the user
to identify suspected malingerers among injury victims.

Specializes in management of toxic heavy metals for industry.
TRSI's major product is a custom engineered or modular system to
treat toxic
heavy metal bearing waste streams. The system, which involves
integrated
resource recovery technologies including ion-exchange and
electrowinning, is
controlled by a network-linked distributed control system. The
major features
of the system are that it recovers almost all of the toxic metals in
the form
of a solid metallic sheet or foil, simultaneously recycling the bulk
of the
treated effluent back to the manufacturing process as high purity
deionized
water.
The TRSI system was recently nominated for a major environmental
award by the
State of California, Dept of Health. The system provides an
alternative to
conventional chemical treatment, "sludge" generation and offsite
waste hauling
and disposal. By treating all of the wastes on-site, it offers a much
higher
level of discharge assurance and eliminates the legal liabilities and
escalating
costs associated with land disposal of hazardous wastes.
The major markets for this technology are the electronics products,
printed
circuit board and metal finishing industries. To date the company
has focused
its marketing efforts on the West Coast of the US which has the
largest
concentration of electronics industries. In addition, it is slowly

Develop computer software to automate the pick up and delivery

TRANSCONTROL SYSTEMS INC. is a Canadian high tech company,
incorporated in 1984,
to develop computer software to automate the pick up and delivery
operations
of transport companies. The seed product is called CUSTOM 2000
and a companion
product for emergency services, called the EMTRACK SERIES, is
marketed by
Digital Wireless Inc. of Miami Florida. The two principals of
TransControl have
a background of transportation engineering, management and
information systems.
In 1987 distributorships were established for CUSTOM 2000 in
Canada, the UK and
the Netherlands. The EMTRACK SERIES is a joint development with
Digital
Wireless that will be marketed by them.
State-of-the-art system design employs graphic displays of road
networks
together with geo-coordinated databases to dynamically integrate
customer orders
with fleet movements; scheduled routes may be interactively
rescheduled for rush
orders.
CUSTOM 2000 is implemented on personal computers linked together
by a highspeed
local network. Design, commenced in 1985, is being developed in
phases. The
phase was completed with the installation of an order entry and
dispatch system
in a large Canadian courier company. Fleets of 10 to 100 or more
vehicles will
profit from using CUSTOM 2000.
The second phase of CUSTOM 2000 development integrates external
communications;
a remote order entry module allows a customer to communicate
directly with the
system and a mobile data terminal system is under beta test for an
ambulance
dispatching service. This product phase significantly reduces the
operator work
while increasing the system throughout.
CUSTOM 2000 also provides address verification using its knowledge
of all the
streets, civic numbers and municipalities. The electronic map
displays the
vehicles as they move minute by minute, from job to job, and the
data is stored
in the itinerary file. Digital dispatching of orders to mobile
terminals,
instantaneous shipment tracing and automatic order pricing are
some of the many
other features available to improve Customer Service.

Manufacturer of an automatic charge card system.
The objective of this company is to develop, manufacture and market
an economic,
automatic charge-card system for installation in remote or
unsupervised
locations. The primary features of this system are the ability to
accept major
credit cards and the ability to handle small dollar value transactions
economically.
Purchasers of this system will be owners or operators of facilities
that require
costly staffing or 'honour' systems to collect 'small ticket' revenues.
Another
potential market is businesses that experience large sales surges
during short
periods, where an automatic device could reduce the staff workload
during these
peaks.
Since the individual transaction size can be relatively small ($1.00
and up)
there are a number of potential applications such as parking lots,
movie
theatres, ski area day ticket sales, public transit, trains, taxis, and
special
events admissions.
The TRIONICS system opens up services previously impractical for
charge cards
and the consumer is offered more convenience and flexibility, the
operator
improves his sales and reduces costs, and the card company
increases its
transaction volume/revenue with negligible cost increase.
Trionics now has over 120 installations of its revenue control
systems in North
America. These installations include major parking garages, Ottawa
and Winnipeg
International Airports and Blackcomb and Whistler Ski hills.
Additionally there
are now over 200 installations of the Instafax card credit operated
pay
facsimile machine.

Designer of communications software for PC compatibles under MS-
DOS and/or UNIX.
Tundra Software markets a communications software package called
"Rapport-The
Unix/DOS Bridge". This package is 100% Canadian developed and
manufactured by
Tundra Software.
As the name implies, this is a specialized package, providing
optimized
communications between PC compatibles under MS-DOS and any
computer running
Unix. What makes Rapport unique, is that it supports a terminal
mode which is
clearly superior to any and all terminal emulations, because it is
specifically
tailored to the PC hardware rather than imitating a popular terminal.
Marketing
is directed primarily towards the end-user in office automation
situations.
However many Unix users in other situations can also benefit from
the ease of
use and powerful features of Rapport.
Due to its very general nature, it is equally applicable to businesses
and
institutions of all types. The only common thread is that customers
are users
of both Unix and MS-DOS computers.
Although interest in the product has been literally world wide,
particularly
in Western Europe, the focus has been on export sales to the U.S. and
domestic
sales.
Clients using Rapport include: Bell Canada, Northern Telecom, Lever
Brothers,
PaineWebber, United Cigar Stores, U.S. Justice Department, U.S.
Naval
Intelligence and Naval Personnel Command, Canadian Department of
National
Defence, Statistics Canada, Attorney General of Ontario.

Technology addressing rapid prototyping of operator interfaces,
real-time
simulation and automatic software generation for operational
systems. In
1987, Virtual Prototypes Inc. (VPI) introduced a breakthrough
technology
simultaneously addressing three basic functions: rapid prototyping
of operator
interfaces, real-time simulation and automatic software generation
for
operational systems. VPI markets this technology through its
Virtual Prototyping
System (VAPS) product family. VAPS is used both as a design and
visualization
tool as well as a component of turnkey simulation and training
solutions.
Although VAPS is applied to vastly different commercial, industrial
and defence
applications, the reasons for adopting it are the same: to design
better human
interfaces, to significantly increase software productivity and to
reduce risk.
A virtual prototype developed with the VAPS toolset runs in real
time on a
graphics workstation. It will faithfully represent the man-machine
interface
of the target system. An important advantage of the VAPS approach
lies in its
user friendliness. Using VAPS an application can be built rapidly and
modified
easily, in most cases without programming. A virtual prototype
operates with
touch-sensitive graphics replacing control and display hardware.
The virtual prototyping technology extends beyond rapid prototyping.
VAPS offers
an evolutionary approach to systems development by supporting
software rehosting
to operational environments.

"Industrialized" desk-top computers.
Wiztech Computer was founded in 1987 to design and manufacture
products that
merge standard desk-top computers to industrial applications. This
is
anticipated to be a major growth market because of the need to
automate North
American manufacturing to maintain its competitiveness. Computers
will form the
core of the controllers of these systems. Standard desktop
computers have
sufficient computing power for almost all controller requirements
but need some
redesign for the harsher industrial environment.
Wiztech's main product, Edisk, targets the industrial PC market by
replacing
floppy disks. Edisk has the inherent ability to survive in harsh
industrial
environments where normal floppy drives would be damaged. Because
Edisk is
logically just like floppies, software developers can quickly build
industrially
hardened computers and retain the convenience of using the standard
MS-DOS
operating system. It was introduced to the market in 1987. Since
then, Edisk
has found applications around the world from medical imaging
systems to balloon
launched atmospheric measuring systems. It has earned praise for
its
reliability, flexibility and performance.
Wiztech's next product uses Edisk to distribute sensitive and
protected
software. The software is distributed and executed from the
Wiztech card, a non-
volatile memory card with special software protection features. The
Wiztech
system provides good software protection without inconveniencing
the customer.

develop base maps in areas where none existed. ATS's LANDSCAN
software has been developed to create base maps from satellite
images in remote areas of the world. It has been greatly enhanced
over five years to handle new applications.
The LANDSCAN Digital Image Analysis system uses digital data to
deliver timely and definitive earth surface information. Among its
applications are planning seismic programs; preparing geophysical
and geological studies; establishing base maps; and providing
detailed analyses of geographical information for route
identification.
Using LANDSCAN greatly reduces the risk of complications from
survey errors, land use restrictions and terrain obstacles such as
marsh, dense brush and watersheds. Because a variety of satellite
platforms provide frequent data delivery, the availability of

Proctor & Redfern, established in 1912, is one of Canada's leading
firms in engineering consulting and planning.
The company is aware that international projects involve much more
than pure technical know-how. Staff assigned to the work must be
able to adapt to different cultures and customs, and be ready to
use ingenuity to achieve the objectives of both the host country
and any international funding agency involved.
Since 1966, Proctor & Redfern's senior professional staff have
worked in more than 15 other countries.
The company is a leader in the development of automated breakline
technology software for enhancing the accuracy of digital terrain
modelling. It was the 1988 winner of the prestigious Award of
Excellence from the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada.
The shortcomings of the triangulated method (TIN) of terrain
modelling were met by the firm's engineers in developing the ABT
(automated breakline technology) software package. Having
determined the engineering and survey requirements critical to the
software's success, ABT was triangulated irregular network based,
designed to be suited to survey methods, and was made easy to use
and accessible on personal computers.
The ABT software package can handle 12 000 information points on
conventional PCs, XTs and ATs, an increase of 40 per cent over
previous TIN software. Digital terrain models are limited only by
the memory capacities of PCs. It is capable of 65 000 points in 3
megabytes of memory.
This software places the technology with the people who need to use
it, eliminating the need for digital terrain modellers and
increasing survey power on site. ABT provides rapid data feedback,
enabling surveyors to get guidance from computers to determine
where more information points are needed or where fewer points are
required.
ABT adds a new dimension to the accuracy and effectiveness of
surveyors, engineers and contractors working on rugged sites,
remote from mainframe computers.
GIS services available include infrastructure-related user-needs
studies, strategic planning, implementation and application, along
with respected expertise in cost-effective data development and
implementation.
The firm has a range of services for new technology acquisition
with a public works focus, and supports GIS technology transfer.
Training is offered to client personnel on the job abroad.
Procter & Redfern offers contract research and development for
integrated terrain modelling applications, and the development of
specifications for municipal information management.

SPARCAL
Spar Aerospace Limited is a Canadian shareholder-owned firm. It
commenced operations as a public company in January 1968,
following
the acquisition of the Special Products and Applied Research (Spar)
Division of The de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited.
The company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and
servicing of systems and products for the space, remote
manipulation, communications, defence electro-optics and aviation
services markets. Spar employs some 2 000 people, including about
600 engineers and technicians -- one of the largest technological
groups in the private sector in Canada.
In 20 years of growth, Spar has gained international recognition
as an advanced technology company, and has achieved financial
stability by balancing the steady sales base of its gears and
transmissions and aviation services operations with businesses
serving the fast-growing markets of space and communications.
Company revenues for 1988 were $270 million.
Business Interests
Communications -- Spar has worked on more than 230 projects
worldwide for satellite earth stations, subsystems and components.
Defence -- The company's defence sector has achieved international
recognition in the field of military electro-optics.
Aviation -- Spar is an industry leader in the production of high-
precision aerospace gears and transmissions. Spar also repairs and
overhauls aircraft and helicopter components and sells aviation
products and accessories.
Remote manipulation -- The Canadarm, Spar's most widely known
product, deploys payload from the U.S. NASA Space Shuttle. Spar is
the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of "man
in the loop" remote manipulator systems. In 1987, Spar was awarded
a $31 million contract by the Canadian government to complete the
preliminary design of the Mobile Servicing System, Canada's
contribution to NASA's International Space Station, Freedom. Over
the next decade, this project, which also involves member nations
of the European Space Agency and Japan, will engage engineering
teams in the design and construction of a space structure
(ultimately the size of three football fields) to provide a
permanent base for a human presence 300 km above the earth.
Activities in Space -- Spar is the principal supplier in Canada and
a major international manufacturer of satellites and satellite
subsystems for communications and remote sensing markets.
Spar and its predecessor companies have contributed to the design
and manufacture of more than 60 satellites and subsystems,
including the fabrication of structures, payloads and products for
Canadian and international satellites -- Alouette, ISIS, Hermes,
SBS, Palapa B, Westar IV, G-Star, Satcom, TDRSS, Brasilsat,
Olympus
and the ANIK series.
In 1988, Spar consolidated its satellite operations and earth-
based communications systems into the new Satellite and
Communications Systems Division to provide clients with a
complete
space communications capability. S & CSD's principal facility is
at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Québec.
ANIK E, Telesat Canada's next generation of communications
satellite to serve North American needs, is entering the assembly
phase. Scheduled for launch in 1990, this $200 million program
calls for two satellites. They will be the most powerful and
versatile in commercial service over North America. Due to S & CSD
designed components, the weight has been reduced, giving the
satellites a fuel capacity for a 14-year lifespan.
Olympus, the largest European communications satellite to date,
was
launched in July 1988. Spar designed the solar arrays and supplied
portions of the transponders, a prime contract of British
Aerospace.
Remote Sensing from Space -- Spar is the prime contractor and
radar
design authority for the Canadian Space Agency's Radarsat program.
It is planned that this operational space-based radar remote
sensing system will provide data to a global community of users in
the second half of the 1990s.
The formation of the data exploitation company Radarsat
International will facilitate access to the data products and in
turn stimulate a large number of value-added companies to benefit.
Spar assembled an international team of companies from Canada, the
United States, Germany, France and Italy to build the satellite and
ground control systems.
Spar has supplied the transmission subsystem for the ERS-1
program
and is currently engaged in advanced technology for the next
generation of remote sensing programs, including advanced radar and
radiometers. Spar is also defining remote sensing applications for
the verification processing linked to peace treaties.

The heart of the system is a computer which compares signals from
a sensor in
the hydraulic flow line with a sensor producing a signal proportional
to road
speed. The computer then determines the degree of opening for a
proportional
control valve in the hydraulic flow line to produce the required
distribution
rate. A constant distritution rate is maintained at all operating

for
repetitive execution of one or more specific measurements. Despite
that
appearance, the instrument is in reality simple to customize,
allowing the same
hardware and software to be used for many different types of
measurement.
The initial products are directed at the food processing market and
include the
ability to measure fiber, starch, starch damage, protein and other
smiilar
components of cereal grains. The technology will allow future
products to be

FES International Ltd. has entered an exclusive agreement with
Ontario Hydro to
commercialize partial discharge analyser (PDA) technology. PDA
technology has
been developed over a fifteen-year period by Ontario Hydro, in
association with
the Canadian Electrical Association, as a method of monitoring the
condition of
hydrogenerator insulation systems without taking the machines out
of service.
Since partial discharges are a symptom of, or are responsible for,
most of the
failure mechanisms of the insulation of stator windings,
measurement of
generator partial discharge activity provides a reliable indicator of
stator
insulation condition.
PDA tests provide maintenance personnel with an early warning of
deterioration
mechanisms such as insulation delamination, slot discharge, and
loose windings.
The ability to distinguish between the various mechanisms yields
significant
benefits in scheduling priorities for visual inspection and repairs,
and in
determining the location of deterioration. Likewise, those
generators which
are identified by the PDA test as being in good condition will not
require
expensive outages.

Geotherm Inc. offers specialist goods and services for the
measurement and
analysis of thermal properties using state-of-the-art technology.
Applications
are found in numerous fields where knowledge of thermal properties
of materials
is of importance. These may range from man-made materials such
as insulation,
to natural materials, such as the earth. The earth is of particular
importance
in view of the modern trend to the utilization of the underground for
many
purposes. The subsurface storage of heat energy, radioactive spent
fuel
containment/storage, and the burial of high tension electrical power
cables are
prime examples where thermal property analysis is a necessity.
As a result of pioneering work performed for the electrical power
industry in
North America, Geotherm has developed state-of-the-art measuring
instruments
and technology which give accurate results rapidly and economically.
The
practical applications are almost limitless because the equipment is
portable
and ideally suited for field as well as laboratory use.

LAB-VOLT has designed instrumentation and process control (I&C)
training
systems that significantly improve a technician's skills, and thus
his
cost-effectiveness on the job. The I&C training systems are
comprised of
temperature, pressure, level and flow stations, student workbenches
and a
control and distribution panel which ties the systems together. The
trainers
interconnect to permit incorporation of industry-real elements with
dynamic
("real state") processes. (NOTE: The LAB-VOLT system is not a
simulator; real
substances are used for laboratory experimentation in pressure,
temperature,
level and flow.)
Using LAB-VOLT's I&C systems, students acquire effective
troubleshooting
skills. Instructors insert typical system malfunctions; analytical
skills are
tested within realistic time constraints, even in "unstable"
situations that
parallel real plant emergencies.
Courseware developed specifically for LAB-VOLT I&C training
equipment adapts
generic training practices that are widely used in industry to plant-
specific
applications. Both courseware and equipment are modular, allowing
technical
educators to modify curricula to meet students' individual aptitudes

training goals. In addition, systems can be updated with time,
allowing
training to keep pace with technology and industry.

Nanometrics manufactures cost-effective digital instrumentation
systems for
seismograph network installations. The systems are based on the
digitisation
of signals near the sensor using RD3 digitisers (1 to 6 channels, 136
db,
16-bit resolution). The wide dynamic range data is transmitted
without loss of
fidelity using RS232 or RS422 via direct or telemetered
communications links to
a host computer.
The host 286/386 computer systems, with the aid of custom
parallel processor
cards, provide computing power that exceeds high-end workstations.
A
comprehensive software package gives the user complete flexibility.
Event
detectors can be configured to trigger on local or teleseismic
events. The
collected data is in the ideal format to allow the latest seismic
modeling
techniques to be used.
Nanometrics can supply complete turnkey systems with solar
supplies and radio
links, or just the components the customer needs. The equipment is
rugged and
reliable, and suitable for installation in harsh climates. The
equipment
offers excellent data quality and will outperform analog telemetry
systems,
particularly when interesting events occur, since most analog
networks will
clip.
Half of the company's products are exported to the US, Europe and
China.
Customers include governments, research institutions and

The displays utilize patented electromagnetic light-reflecting disk
technology
which is well suited for constructing mimic boards in large control

Since the displays reflect, rather than generate light, performance
under
normal or high ambient lighting is excellent. Operator fatigue is
minimized
through the elimination of small, high intensity light sources. The
technology
requires only a minimal amount of power and does not create
additional load for

Senstar Corporation manufactures and sells intrusion detection
systems for the
outdoor perimeter security market. Senstar's security systems can
be found
protecting prisons, military air fields, industrial properties and the
residences of heads of state throughout the world.
The Sentrax product is a covert buried cable intrusion detection
system which
has a very high probability of detecting human intruders. It is
terrain-following, eliminating the problems of unprotected areas
which
line-of-sight devices encounter in hilly terrain. Sentrax has a low
false alarm
rate because it ignores small animals, moving tree branches, birds
and other
targets which are detected by most other sensor technologies.
Sentrax is a
modular system which can be extended to virtually any length.
Panther is a
smaller version of the product, suitable for perimeters up to 400
meters in
length.
The Senstar 100 display and control system accepts alarm signals
from Sentrax
and from other perimeter intrusion sensors. It presents these on a
colour
graphic display which shows a map of the site where the alarm
occurred. The
guard responds by touching soft keys presented on the screen. This
simple
communications format means that security guards can respond
quickly and
accurately with very little training. The Senstar 100 also provides
on-line
diagnostic analysis of Sentrax systems and supports automatic
video switching
for assessment of alarms.
Communications between security devices and the Senstar 100 is
provided by
STLP, a unique communications network designed specifically for
security
applications. It provides redundant secure communications on copper
or optical
fibre between intrusion detection devices and a display system such
as the

Sparton of Canada specializes in the engineering and manufacture of
specialized
electronic products for industry. Industrial products which Sparton
offers
include: security/intrusion detectors; custom automated test
equipment;
telecommunication cable monitoring systems; and proprietary
automatic meter
reading systems. Sparton also has proprietary technology in switch
mode power
supplies and offers design-to-specification services.
The intrusion detectors make it possible to detect intrusions from
people or
vehicles into monitored areas. This area can be virtually any size,
shape, or
terrain. The sensors and monitoring station can be linked either
with hard
wire or RF telemetry.
Custom automated test equipment design and assembly is available
for a wide
variety of applications. Design expertise exists in both hardware
and software
design. Particular expertise has been developed in automated
testing of power
supplies.
The cable monitoring system offers sensor and monitoring
technology for
pressurized and unpressurized telecommunication cable systems.
Proprietary
technology allows each sensor to be addressable from the
monitoring station and
therefore can pinpoint where in the cable a pressure or water leak
may be
occurring.
Automatic Meter Reading offers the chance for utility companies and
other
residential service businesses to access the status of its device or
meter via
a dial-up capability on the phone line. A proprietary
microprocessor-based
device can be attached to the existing line to store and supply data.
This
potentially eliminates the need for sending people out to take actual
readings.
Engineering and manufacturing operations are located at the London,
Ontario
facility which currently has 100 employees on staff.
