Merger potential in European aerospace
September 3, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Over the past 50
years, the trends in the aerospace industry have been clear – from the
gradual amalgamation of the US industry into the twin giants of Boeing
and Lockheed Martin, to the creation of consolidated manufacturers such
as MBDA, makers of missile technology for air forces and armies across
the world, aerospace is rapidly becoming a smaller, more concentrated
industry.
Take EADS, for example. Beginning as a merger of German-based
DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA), the Spanish Construcciones
Aeronáuticas and France's Aérospatiale-Matra, it's grown to become one
of the biggest aerospace companies in the world, building anything from
Eurocopter helicopters, to Airbus super-jumbos, to space capsules that
resupply the International Space Station.
It trades across six European stock exchanges and recently reported a very healthy 21% rise in earnings, with more to come as its advanced Airbus A380 superjumbos and A400M transport aircraft continue to be delivered. But EADS faces a stiff competitor in the form of British-based BAE Systems.
From its roots as British Aerospace, BAE Systems has grown to become a huge multinational corporation, and ironically, considering its roots, now is a bigger supplier to the US military than the UK. Thanks to a long standing atmosphere of co-operation between the UK and US governments, BAE Systems faces a smoother ride when working with the US military compared to its European rival. This has helped it become a primary supplier in a range of fields from electronic warfare components for the US Air Force's most advanced jet fighters to armoured vehicles for the Army - just recently, it won another £500m contract.
BAE Systems has often bucked the trend of a dismal trading day on the FTSE by boosting its shares, including a rise from a 2009 contract for torpedoes used by the Royal Navy and Royal Air force that also saw shares in insurance giant Catlin Insurance UK rise positively.
What lies in the future for Europe's aerospace industry? EADS and BAE Systems worked together closely on the manufacturer of the brand-new Eurofighter over its multi-decade development process. In late 2012, rumours circulated that they were considering a merger in which BAE shareholders would end up with 40% of the new company and EADS shareholders 60%.
A combined EADS and BAE Systems would be a gigantic aerospace company - the biggest in the world, in fact, with $93 billion in sales compared to Boeing's $68.7 billion. But it seems unlikely to happen, due to a lack of political will. Despite long discussions between the British, French and German governments, there just wasn't enough common ground for politicians to agree to a merger. The UK government sought to protect BAE Systems' strong business ties to the Pentagon and the US Department of Defense by restricting any political influence the three governments could have over the combined company. Yet the German representatives were opposed to the entire deal on fundamental grounds. It remains to be seen what the hopes for a EADS/BAE merger will be in the future, but it will take a large change in the political atmosphere to be feasible.

Biometric/ Mobile Security Stock NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD) Launches Pilot Program for Palm Bay , FL Police Department
Shelton, CT - August 23, 2013 (Investorideas.com mobile payment stocks newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD),
a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market announces
that its wholly owned subsidiary, 3D-ID, LLC commenced a pilot program
with the Palm Bay, FL Police Department to evaluate its 3D FaceMatch™
biometric facial recognition identification systems.
The identification management systems leverage unique and patented
FaceMatch™ 3D technology that precisely senses shape at up to a million
points on a face without using lasers or projected patterns. This
individually unique shape information is compressed into a small 3D
biometric template containing a complete 3D shape signature of that
individual face. This shape signature is rapidly compared to other
templates in a database. Unlike 2D recognition methods where performance
is highly variable depending on scene lighting, head pose, facial
expression, eyewear, facial hair and cosmetics, FaceMatch™ templates and
performance remains invariant over an extremely wide range of imaging
variables. This enables reliable, scalable, and convenient face
recognition solutions.
The system is being used at Palm Bay to enroll inmates into local detention centers, creating a 3- dimensional database that can be used in the future to potentially identify persons of interest. Inmates that are released will also have their identities verified through 3D facial recognition to prevent the inadvertent release of the wrong individual.
The pilot program is expected to expand to include more law enforcement agencies connected to 3D-ID's BioCloud™ to improve identification of previously enrolled (booked) individuals from multiple law enforcement agencies searching from a common 3D database. Further expansion is expected to include capture of faces from surveillance cameras, video, and from mobile devices using 3D-ID's MobileBio™ technologies under development.
John Blackledge, Deputy Chief of the Palm Bay Police Department, said, "3D facial recognition is an important technology innovation that will give law enforcement the upper hand in accurately and rapidly identify criminals. 3D-ID provides a new technology platform that allows law enforcement to make positive identification without the intrusiveness of conventional police methods."
Doug Muldoon, Palm Bay Police Chief, FBI-NA President, noted, "Our partnership with NXT-ID in 3D facial recognition is yet another opportunity to become more efficient and effective in fighting crime."
NXT-ID is a leader in biometric-based identity management and access control systems. Its product line offers cost-effective solutions for facilities access and control, inmate population management, identity management and border control. NXT-ID advanced biometric tools achieve excellent facial recognition performance using 3D camera technology, along with advanced 2D-to-3D conversion algorithms, and sketching systems that significantly simplify composite sketching with powerful 3D morphing technology.

Marijuana Vending Machines Race: Marijuana Stocks to Watch (ERBB), (HSCC), (MDBX)
Point Roberts, WA/ New York, NY - June 10, 2013 (Investorideas.com
Newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, an investor
research portal specializing in sector research for independent
investors reports on Marijuana stocks in the race for Marijuana vending
machines.
According to an article today in the DailyMail in article entitled, “Marijuana vending machines coming to a store near you?”Entrepreneurs
are looking to cash in on the marijuana vending machine market in
Colorado and Washington State, where marijuana was recently legalized.
Retail sales are expected to start in Colorado by January 2014 with
Washington State following shortly after.
Several public companies have entered the space, including Medbox Inc., (OTC: MDBX) , Tranzbyte Corporation (ERBB OTC Markets) and Homeland Security Corporation (HSCC:OTC Markets) . Medbox and Tranzbyte are further ahead in development, with Medbox having a patent on their design that uses biometrics but Homeland Security Corporation is also betting on the added value of their biometric security technology.
Homeland Security Corporation (HSCC: OTC Markets) notes on its new website,
“We are first and foremost a security and surveillance organization. One of our evolving goals is to be the premier MMJ/MJ compliance and security systems innovator for the cannabis and hemp industry, leveraging our team of highly experienced, educated, and seasoned professionals. The MMJ industry is one of the most scrutinized industries in the world. From seed to sale all aspects of the MMJ industry including growers, producers, and dispensaries are under twenty-four hour recorded surveillance.”
The company also goes on to say, “Over the past three years our HSCC representative (Gary Williams) was based in Colorado working directly with a leading MMJ compliance organization, the Colorado Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division (MMED), and also with other state regulatory agencies.” More info: http://www.hsccsecurity.com/MMJ-Consulting.html
Medbox Inc., (OTC: MDBX), the leader so far, features patented systems that dispense medication to individuals based on biometric identification (fingerprint sample). The stock has had a wild ride for an OTC stock as investors bet on the future of legalized Marijuana and the future of vending machines.
Tranzbyte Corporation (ERBB OTC Markets)
announced in April it will begin distribution of its Automated
Marijuana Vending Machine within qualifying states and locales beginning
next quarter. Although some of the specific details of the machine's
operation must be kept under wraps for competitive reasons, the company
has been at work for the past year identifying and working with a
vending machine manufacturer that has the technological background and
capability to exclusively deliver the Altitude Organix "Green Machine" –
designed specifically to serve the exploding cannabis industry in the
21st Century with a complement of exclusively available Zazzz™ products
coupled with state-of-the-art security enhancements.

Biodefense Stock Q&A; PositiveID (OTCBB: PSID) Chairman and CEO Discusses New Firefly Dx Detection System
Point Roberts, WA - June 6, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire)
Investorideas.com, a leader in research for independent investors
presents an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. William J. Caragol,
Chairman and CEO of PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID)
discussing the recent launch of the development of the Firefly Dx
detection system. Firefly is a portable, hand-held, point-of-need
molecular diagnostic system, designed to provide test results from
sample input through reporting of results in less than 15 to 30 minutes
depending on the type of test performed.
Q: Investorideas.com
Firefly is based on technology from your M-BAND (Microfluidics-based Bioagent Networked Detector) airborne bio-threat detector; can you explain the evolution of this technology and what inspired it?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Throughout meetings with past and potential new customers representing a variety of different industries, we listened to their needs and the circumstances they often face including military field deployments, evolving conditions in remote areas ,agricultural testing, etc and it became clear that there is a real and pressing need for portable, handheld, rapid biological testing solutions.
We have been able to evolve and miniaturize the patented technology advances we’ve achieved in the development of our M-BAND, which is basically a “lab-in-a-box,” and Dragonfly cartridge based systems to create a handheld, battery-powered, rapid biological testing system that can communicate test results from sample purification to final results in less than 30 minutes to a SMART phone or personal computer. Furthermore, the system is designed to be easy to use and does not require a high level of technical expertise to operate.
Q: Investorideas.com
According to your April 29, 2013 press release, Firefly is expected to quickly process human and agricultural samples to provide accurate confirmation of biological threats via a smart-phone application. What is a realistic time frame to see this app available to military in the field?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The business strategy that we have employed for our biological detection technologies in the past and intend to continue moving forward is to innovate and develop novel technologies for markets in detection and diagnostics, and to partner with large firms that have a foothold in the market with scalable manufacturing capabilities. We believe that with the appropriate funding partner, we could complete the development of handheld prototypes and cartridges and have the devices ready for field testing in approximately 12 months.
Q: Investorideas.com
What biological agents can the Firefly Dx system detect?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The assay format of the Firefly Dx is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Real-time TaqMan® probe-based chemistry and is currently adapted to detect both DNA and RNA targets. PositiveID is currently developing diagnostic panels for the Firefly Dx against measles, respiratory diseases, and Arboviral diseases. Because the Firefly Dx instrument is a universal cartridge-based system, however, it will be able to accommodate new assays or panels very rapidly. Some examples of organisms for which we have previously developed immunoassays include anthrax, small pox, various forms of influenza, and MRSA, among many others.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you give us an update on your M-BAND system and the status of BioWatch Generation 3?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
As you know, on January 25, 2013, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a draft request for proposal (“RFP”) for Stage 1 of BioWatch Generation 3. At that time it was announced that the final RFP for Stage 1 would be released in the government’s third quarter of fiscal 2013, which ends June 30th. If that timeline holds, the RFP is expected to be awarded in late 2013 and have a performance period of 18 months. We look forward to the release of the final RFP and will keep our investors informed of any updates.
