January 22 - Material Technologies, Inc. Inspects Fracture Critical Bridge in West Sacramento, CA With Their Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor System
Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MTTG) (MATECH) of Los Angeles, CA provided inspection services to CalTrans using their patented Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) System. The inspected structure is a fracture critical bridge located in West Sacramento, CA that has been repaired and retrofitted. Inspection results are being used to determine which of the existing cracks are growing, if there are other locations which contain cracks previously undocumented, and whether the repairs and retrofits installed on the bridge are working properly, that is, not exhibiting any crack growth. This information can be used to prioritize repair funds as well as verify the efficacy of those repairs and repair methods.
The inspection was completed on December 12, 2007, with a dozen CalTrans representatives present. Results will be presented to officials to determine further uses of EFS across the state.
Robert M. Bernstein, MATECH's CEO, says, "MATECH continues to provide DOT's (state departments of transportation) with invaluable information never available before. More and more DOT's are becoming familiar with the technology and requesting inspections. They are using the inspection results to make better bridge management decisions."

TZMT News:
January 22 - Telzuit Medical Technologies Files Form 8-K with SEC
On January 21, 2008, Telzuit Medical Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TZMT) management held a conference call outlining recent events for the company. The following is an outline of what was discussed during the call:
1) During the past year we have improved and perfected the operation of the StatPatch by enhancing components on the circuit board and reducing the cost of manufacturing.
2) We have moved the software platform for the StatPatch from the Palm operating system to Windows mobile 5.0 and most recently to Windows Mobile 6.0.
3) We have significantly improved the Bluetooth operating range of the StatPatch resulting in fewer drops.
4) We created a PC version of the software for institutional use.
5) We improved the PDA software so that the OEM battery will now complete a 24 hour Holter test without the need to recharge the battery.
6) We have run some 500 tests this year with the StatPatch system and have a 97% success rate.
7) We believe that the failure rate of the traditional wired Holter is much greater than our 3%. Perhaps as high as 30%.
8) Our use of the StatPatch on patients has been successfully paid for by Medicare and other third party payers.
9) The Cardiologist reviewing the StatPatch tests and interpreting the results via a written report back to the physicians ordering the Holter has found the StatPatch recordings to be of excellent quality, accurate and exceedingly easy to evaluate and interpret. The Cardiologist also believes that the StatPatch is more efficient than other technology out there now.
10) We have reduced the cash burn rate of the company from over $400k per month to under $100k per month.
11) Component changes and manufacturing efficiencies will reduce the overall cost of the StatPatch and yield us an improved profit margin. Also, PDA acquisition costs have been reduced by 60%.
12) We have distribution agreements in progress to hit the ground running as soon as there is enough funding to start building sufficient inventory of the StatPatch.
13) We are in substantive discussions with a foreign provider if EKG products and services to serve as their OEM for wireless holter monitors and related products. This third party will have rights to our product in Europe and selected US markets, if we successfully complete this partnership. We believe that if successfully completed this partnership will provide the company with sales levels that are substantial.
14) We have begun discussions with one of the largest distributers of EKG products in the US to serve as our distributer in selected US markets.
15) To sum up, the product is ready to tackle the holter monitoring market. We believe we have the relationships in place or nearly in place that will enable us to achieve substantial penetration. We currently lack the financial resources to fulfill this plan.
16) On a related note we intend to make strategic additions to the Board of Directors. Kenneth Adams and Richard Bischoff have resigned from the Board to make way for future additions.

"There are 50 Million shares outstanding, of which 25 Million are restricted and are held by myself, directors, and the technical and support staff of Auctions International. Of the 25 Million that are free trading, 9.3 Million are registered on DTC as of January 11, 2008. From that 25 Million, 8 Million are held by family members and friends who have supported AUCI's development and expenditures over the past two years.
"The Company does not need capital of any substance. Nor do we have any fundings that could cause such a downward spiral in our stock. We do not see a need to issue any shares to dilute the current shareholder value in the foreseeable future.
"We are diligently pursuing our business objectives. Business-to-business Internet commerce in the wholesale market is ripe with opportunity. The solution provided by our wholly owned subsidiary AutoBidLive is a revolutionary way for car dealers to get added exposure, particularly during times of lagging sales and shrinking margins.
