November 11 - Netlist Launches World's First 16GB, 2 Virtual Rank Memory Module

 

New memory module, HyperCloud, enables 384GB of DRAM in a dual socket server

 

Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today launches HyperCloud™, the world's first 16GB, 2 virtual rank (vRank) memory module for servers. A double-data-rate three, registered dual in-line memory module (DDR3 RDIMM), HyperCloud maximizes server utilization to improve datacenter application performance. HyperCloud allows 384 Gigabytes (GB) of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) to be populated in a single dual socket server, reaching unprecedented levels of server performance.

 

HyperCloud utilizes Netlist's patented rank multiplication ASIC technology to fully populate three memory channels with 16GB vRank RDIMMs. Four physical ranks are hidden from the memory controller hub and presented as 2 vRanks. Dual socket servers can then be fully populated with 24 16GB 2 vRank RDIMMs reaching a total capacity of 384GB.

 

"In HPC datacenters, servers are typically under-utilized due to memory bandwidth and memory capacity bottlenecks. Netlist is addressing these limitations with its new high-performing DDR3 RDIMM solution, called HyperCloud," said Steve Conway, Research Vice President of Technical Computing at IDC. "HyperCloud is designed to improve server productivity and application performance, especially for memory-intensive applications and workloads."

 

With load reduction, servers populated with four DIMMs per channel can operate at the highest transfer-rate of 1333MT/s providing maximum memory bandwidth, increased server performance and low latency.

 

"HyperCloud marks an important step for Netlist as we look to fill the datacenter memory gap," said C.K. Hong, President and CEO of Netlist. "Growth in key technologies like virtualization and cloud computing has been stymied by the limitations of existing memory solutions. By breaking memory barriers, HyperCloud successfully supports these applications and others like high-performance computing. Maximizing memory is the easiest way to improve performance and lower operating expenses for datacenters."

 

HyperCloud will debut at the Supercomputing tradeshow, taking place in Portland, Oregon November 17-19, 2009, in booth number 2398. Netlist plans to sample HyperCloud to major OEM customers in December with production slated for Q1 2010. HyperCloud will be available in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB 2 vRank module options.

November 3 - Viking Systems, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results; Provides Business Updates

 

Viking Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: VKNG), a supplier of 2D and 3D visualization systems for the medical market, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company reported that it has made significant progress in its objective to reach sustainable positive cash flow from operations and that it is exploring strategic and financing options in order to fund anticipated 2010 operating losses while the Company develops and launches its "Next Generation" 3DHD Visualization System. Additionally, the Company discussed a significant order for its current 3Di system, its technology outlook and several pending changes in its management and governance structure.

 

Sales

 

Sales were $1,995,614 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $1,585,826 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, representing an increase of 26%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales increased 16% to $5,149,504 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was due to increased sales of approximately $590,000 of a proprietary visualization system designed for and distributed by one specific customer as they elected to increase inventory levels of such product. Sales to this customer increased by approximately $1,210,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period in the prior year.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss was $195,877, or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with a net loss of $43,599, or $0.00 per share for the same period in 2008. Other income included a $1,000,000 license fee in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred net losses of $882,669 or $0.02 and $5,055,726 or $0.12 per share, respectively.

 

Operating Loss

 

As a result of increased sales, higher margins and reduced operating expenses the Company has substantially reduced its operating losses. The operating loss was $193,316 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with $1,044,557 for the same period in 2008. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred operating losses of $996,863 and $3,947,760, respectively. The operating loss before non-cash charges was $34,418 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with $803,047 for the same period in 2008. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred operating losses before non-cash charges of $435,654 and $2,595,724, respectively.

 

U.S. Army Orders 3D Systems

 

In October 2009, the Company received the largest order in its history for its proprietary 3Di vision systems. This order, totaling approximately $900,000, was from the U.S. Army for deployment of one of our complete 3Di systems at each of seven regional Army Medical Centers throughout the United States. We anticipate having all seven systems installed and operational before-year end 2009. This is a follow-on order to the single system already in place at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.

 

Technology Update

 

In October, a major milestone was achieved when Viking Systems' "Next Generation" 3DHD camera system was demonstrated to the surgical community utilizing a prototype Sony 3DHD flat panel display at the American College of Surgeon's 95th annual Clinical Congress in Chicago. Jed Kennedy, Viking's president and chief operating officer, described the reaction of the medical community saying, "We were extremely pleased with the level of interest shown by all surgical specialties. Well over 1,500 attendees waited their turn to see the interactive 3DHD demonstration and appeared delighted with what they experienced. While 2D high definition cameras now represent the vast majority of placements in the approximately $1 billion surgical video systems market, it is now clear that 3DHD is the next advancement in endoscopic surgical vision." Viking and Sony plan a similar demonstration at MEDICA, the world's largest medical device trade show, held every year in November in Dusseldorf, Germany. In parallel, a group of clinical advisors is being organized to provide guidance on the clinical requirements for this "Next Generation" system.

 

Later this month, Viking Systems plans to deliver a "designed to specification" prototype high definition 3DHD visualization system to a manufacturer of surgical robotic systems as part of a development agreement. The system prototype is a key deliverable in the completion of the development arrangement. While there can be no assurance that at the completion of the development contract a supply agreement will be awarded, Viking believes that the new product has several unique features that will address specific market needs and that the Company is well positioned to support any production needs for the system.

 

Over the next twelve months Viking Systems intends to complete the development of its unique "Next Generation" 3DHD Visualization System for Minimally Invasive Surgery and currently plans to launch the system at the American College of Surgeon's 96th annual Clinical Congress in October 2010 in Washington, DC.

 

Financing Update

 

Viking disclosed in previous public filings that in the fourth quarter of 2008 it engaged an investment banking firm to assist management in exploring strategic options. A number of third parties executed confidentiality agreements with the Company during this process. Over the past nine months the Company has had and, in some instances, continues to have varying levels of discussion with certain of these parties. However, absent expeditious developments related to a potential sale of the Company, Viking plans to seek adequate financing to support operations during the commercialization of its "Next Generation" 3DHD system.

 

Management and Governance

 

When Viking Systems was recapitalized on January 4, 2008, William C. Bopp, currently chairman and chief executive officer, signed a two year employment agreement. At the end of 2009, it is the intention of the Board of Directors to promote and appoint John "Jed" Kennedy, currently president and chief operating officer, to the position of president and chief executive officer. It is anticipated that Mr. Bopp will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Bopp said, "This transition recognizes the contributions of Mr. Kennedy to the success of Viking Systems to date and the Board's confidence in his leadership ability for the future."

 

Separately, J. Winder Hughes has tendered his resignation from the Board effective November 2, 2009. Mr. Hughes has indicated his interest in assisting the Company in raising funds and believes it will be in the Company's and his best interest if he is an independent investor able freely to participate in such a financing. Mr. Bopp said, "We have valued Winder Hughes' counsel as a Board member and look forward to a continued association with him should a financing be undertaken."

June 1 - Paradigm Medical Announces Plans to Release Its New Corneal Topographer, the Paravue, in the United States Market

 

Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: PDMI) announced that the Company will soon begin to introduce the first of its four new ophthalmic diagnostic devices, the Paravue, during the remainder of 2009. The Paravue is a sophisticated topographer utilizing Placido Disk Technology and an advanced software to provide accurate and detailed analysis of the anterior corneal surface.

 

Corneal topography — also known as videokeratography or corneal mapping — represents a significant advance in the measurement of the corneal curvature. Most corneal topographers evaluate 8,000 to 10,000 specific points across the entire corneal surface. By contrast, the Paravue processes more than 100,000 points. It also offers corneal wave front analysis with 2, 3 or 4 maps available for comparison.

 

The Paravue provides both a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of corneal curvature. It does so by utilizing a big placido disk with 24 concentric rings, which project onto the cornea to create a virtual image. The device compares this image to the target size, and the computer then calculates the corneal curvature. Advanced features including advanced rings editing, variable scales, refractive power map and more make the Paravue a valuable tool in the optometric and ophthalmic clinics.

 

"The addition of the Paravue to our existing ophthalmic product line fills an important segment that was missing," said Paradigm Medical President, Stephen Davis. "We are excited to offer not just another topographer, but one with many impressive features and incredibly friendly software that provides ease of use, flexible mapping and accuracy."
