Mercury Computer Systems Selected to Sharpen Performance of Checked Baggage Inspection Systems

Mercury’s leadership in optimizing performance for complex image processing applications raises the image quality, reliability and efficiency of baggage inspection systems used by homeland and transportation security teams around the world

Mercury Computer Systems Inc., (NASDAQ:MRCY), a trusted provider of commercially developed ISR subsystems, has been selected by a worldwide provider of security inspection systems to accelerate the performance of its high-capacity checked baggage scanning equipment. Mercury’s unique expertise in optimizing algorithms was applied to powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) which are designed into scalable, standards-based systems architecture. The optimized algorithms and Mercury’s advanced software framework will enable the scanning systems to deliver ultra-clear images, improving the reliability of results, increasing security and expediting the screening process at airports and other transportation hubs.

Initially Mercury will provide optimization for back-projection algorithms for performance on Intel x86 processors with GPGPUs serving as specialized co-processors. The company will also deliver a customized software framework to optimize data flow from the sensor to the processing engines and then to the display. The optimization will result in extremely clear images being fed to the threat detection algorithm, reducing the number of false positives and supporting high belt speeds.

Mercury first implemented GPGPUs in 2004 as part of a medical imaging application, and continues to deliver numerous GPGPU-based solutions, including various high performance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) subsystems.

Cleantech Transit Inc. (CLNO)

Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. The Company has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net).

The main benefits of biomass fuel over fossil fuel can be best understood in terms of greenhouse gasses. While both biomass fuels and fossil fuels release about the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when burned, there is a distinct difference in the effect they each have on the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide that was captured during photosynthesis literally millions of years ago. As it is burned, carbon dioxide is released as a new greenhouse gas, a ‘new’ carbon dioxide. Biomass fuel, on the other hand, releases carbon dioxide that was recently captured during photosynthesis and it tends to equal itself out. Nothing ‘new’ is being sent into the atmosphere, thus greatly reducing the greenhouse gas effect on the ozone layer.

Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) is pleased to announce it has met its funding requirement to secure the Company’s ability to earn in 25% of the 500KW Merced Project.

The Company is in the final stages of closing its initial interest in the Merced Project and is currently working on completing the necessary documentation and expects closing the transaction soon. As previously announced Cleantech has the option to earn up to 40% of the Merced Project and the Company plans to continue to work towards increasing its interest in the Merced Project as they move ahead.
