SRA Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2008- Revenue up 18% year-over-year to $376 million - Operating income up 30% to $29.6 million - Diluted EPS up $0.04 to $0.30 - $503 million of contract awards - $17 million of shares repurchased during the quarter

FAIRFAX, Va., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. , a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations, today announced operating results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended March 31, 2008.

Revenue for the quarter was $376.0 million, up 18% from $317.6 million in the March 2007 quarter. Operating income for the quarter was $29.6 million, for an operating margin of 7.9%. Net income was $18.0 million, for a net margin of 4.8%. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.30, up $0.04 year-over-year.

SRA President and CEO Stan Sloane said, "We were pleased to win nearly three times the volume of contract awards that we won in the same quarter last year. Some of these programs will take time to ramp up because of protested award decisions, but they are a positive indicator for future growth."

"We're also enthusiastic about our agreement to acquire Era Corporation, which we announced last week. Era fits nicely into our plan to increase the product-based component of our business and continue to expand our international footprint. We look forward to completing the transaction and joining forces with an air surveillance market leader."

CFO and Executive Vice President for Operations Steve Hughes added, "Third quarter revenue grew 18% year-over-year, while the low-margin rebillable component declined as planned. This improvement in the business mix led to better operating margins. Operating margin increased to 7.9% in the quarter, 70 basis points better than a year ago."

New Business Awards

The Company won new business in the third quarter with potential value of $503 million, if all options are exercised. As of March 31, 2008, the Company's backlog of signed business orders was $3.9 billion, an increase of 11% year-over-year.

Major highlights of competitive contract awards in the quarter include: -- Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), Network Enterprise Domain (NED). The Defense Department awarded SRA a five-year, $108 million task order to perform management support services for the JTRS NED program office. A consolidation of work previously being performed separately by SRA and several other contractors, this win represents the second significant expansion of the Company's San Diego presence in the last six months. -- Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Enterprise Management Services (EMS). SRA was awarded a five-year, $78 million contract to provide IT infrastructure services to the DEA. This award has been protested by the incumbent contractor, and a decision is expected in the June quarter. -- Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). The Company won a five-year, $48 million contract to continue supporting the DMDC, which serves as the DoD's human resource information archive for more than 28 million current and former service men and women. Under the contract, SRA will deliver database design and management, software support and identity management solutions. -- Food and Drug Administration (FDA), FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The FDA awarded SRA a five-year, $27 million contract to develop the FAERS system for collecting and monitoring reports of adverse events related to FDA-regulated products. -- Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Network Services. SRA won a 2.5-year, $24 million recompete contract to perform network services for OPM. The contract will involve the full lifecycle of network design, management and operations support.

The Company was also awarded several multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts in the March quarter. ID/IQ vehicles are not included in the Company's quarterly bookings total, but they provide a solid foundation for future growth.

-- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development (ORD). SRA was awarded a prime contract on the seven-year, $200 million Software Engineering and Specialized Scientific Support (SES3) blanket purchase agreement (BPA) for the EPA. The Company has since won two task orders under the BPA, with a combined value of $32 million. -- U.S. Army, Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS). PEO EIS named SRA one of five awardees of the Program Management Support Services-2 (PMSS-2) contract, which has a total value of approximately $478 million over five years. The award decision has been protested, and task order activity will not begin until the protest has been resolved. Share Repurchase

In accordance with a repurchase authority established by its Board of Directors in 2007, SRA executed an open market share buyback during the March quarter. The Company repurchased about 754,000 shares of its stock in the quarter, deploying a total of $17.3 million in cash. The average share price for repurchased shares was $22.91. Although the Company's acquisition program remains its top priority for capital deployment, management may elect to continue opportunistic use of its repurchase authority in the future.

Forward Guidance

The Company is updating its forward guidance for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2008. The table below represents management's current expectations about the Company's future financial performance, based on information available at this time. The forward guidance in this table does not include any effect for the pending acquisition of Era Corporation or any acquisitions SRA might make in the future.

Measure Quarter Ending Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2008 June 30, 2008 Revenue (in millions) $370-$390 $1,492-$1,512 Diluted EPS $0.31-$0.33 $1.23-$1.25 Diluted Share Equivalents (in millions) 59.4 59.4

The updated revenue guidance is lower than previously issued guidance primarily because of a reduced direct material revenue forecast. Given the consistent June quarter Diluted EPS range, the implied profit margins are higher in this revised guidance. These changes are consistent with the higher labor services component of revenue in the latest forecast.

SRA senior management will hold a conference call to discuss these operating results and forward guidance today at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFMD(R) Announces Strategic Restructuring to Leverage Leadership in RF Components and Compound SemiconductorsCompany Expects to Eliminate Approximately $75 Million in Annual Wireless Systems Expenses

GREENSBORO, N.C., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RF Micro Devices, Inc. , a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance semiconductor components, today announced that effective immediately RFMD(R) is reducing its investments in wireless systems, including cellular transceivers and GPS solutions, in order to focus on core semiconductor component opportunities, including cellular front ends and other components in RFMD's Cellular Products Group (CPG) and the expanding portfolio of semiconductor components in RFMD's Multi-Market Products Group (MPG).

As a result, RFMD currently expects to eliminate product development expenses related to its wireless systems business by approximately $75 million this fiscal year beginning in the June 2008 quarter, with the full benefit expected to be realized in the December 2008 quarter.

Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RFMD, said, "These strategic actions will enable RFMD to deliver more predictable financial results and substantially higher profitability. We are the industry leader in RF components and the world's largest manufacturer of compound semiconductors. We are investing in growing markets where we have a demonstrated track record of success, and we will measure our progress using operating income and return on invested capital (ROIC) as key performance metrics. We anticipate steady financial improvement throughout the year, and we currently forecast at least 10% non-GAAP operating income and double-digit ROIC by the end of the calendar year.

"While this is a difficult decision because of the impact on employees, these actions are the result of a comprehensive strategic review, including extensive market analyses and discussions with key customers and channel partners. We are confident the steps we have taken will increase shareholder value and provide significant long-term benefits to our global customers and stakeholders."

Key Restructuring Actions -- RFMD is eliminating approximately $75 million in annual expenses by reducing investments in wireless systems, including cellular transceivers and GPS solutions. -- RFMD projects approximately $40 million -- $50 million in restructuring charges, approximately two-thirds of which is expected to be non-cash, over the next two quarters with a global workforce reduction of approximately 350 employees. -- RFMD is engaged in discussions with strategic and financial buyers for some of these assets, but is not commenting currently on any potential transactions, including possible proceeds. -- RFMD will fully support cellular transceivers currently in production or commencing production, including POLARIS(R) 2, POLARIS 2 Radio Module, POLARIS 3 and POLARIS 3 Silver(TM).

RFMD anticipates revenue growth in cellular transceivers in fiscal 2009, with transceiver revenue continuing in fiscal 2010.

The methodology used by RFMD to estimate share-based compensation expense does not factor in items such as new grants, terminations or amounts that may be capitalized in inventory, and the methodology used to estimate amortization of intangibles assumes no additional intangible assets are recorded. RFMD does not estimate the impact of share-based compensation expense on gross margin or operating expenses and will provide this information with its June 2008 quarterly results. Accordingly, actual quarterly results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.

Comments From Management

Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RFMD, said, "During the March quarter, RFMD experienced an improved demand environment for our industry-leading RF components. We commenced high volume shipments of our industry-leading GSM/GPRS front ends to a top-five handset OEM for a major new handset platform, and we experienced a rebound in demand among multiple handset customers based in China. Additionally, our diversification efforts continued to pay off as steady execution drove MPG revenue to approximately $51 million and as we introduced multiple high-value products for a customer list numbering in the thousands. In the June quarter, we are positioned for cellular front end market share gains at additional top-five OEMs as new handsets commence production, including a popular music phone for EDGE networks and a highly anticipated WCDMA handset manufactured by a Korea-based OEM.

"Looking forward, RFMD is eliminating all product development expenses related to wireless systems, including cellular transceivers and GPS solutions, and this is expected to unleash the value of a very profitable core RF components business, highlighted by CPG's cellular front ends and other cellular components and MPG's multi-market RF, microwave and millimeter wave components. As a result, we believe RFMD is positioned for the largest increase in profitability in our Company's history. Our RF components business consistently generates superior profitability and financial returns in excess of our cost of capital. We are increasing our focus on this core business and deploying the full force of our assets and resources behind it. We will continue to support our wireless systems currently in production, including POLARIS 2 and POLARIS 3, and we expect these products to contribute significant operating profit and cash flow over their multi-year product lifecycles."

Dean Priddy, CFO and corporate vice president of administration of RFMD, said, "We believe RFMD is at an inflection point for both financial and strategic leverage. RFMD projects materially higher profitability as a result of our focus on compound semiconductors and RF components, where we are the established industry leader. Our progress will be measurable, and we will calculate our success based upon anticipated improvements in operating income and ROIC. We currently expect at least 10% non-GAAP operating income and double-digit ROIC by the end of the calendar year. In conjunction with our share repurchase program, these actions demonstrate RFMD's commitment to improving shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), RFMD's earnings release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating (loss) income, (iii) non-GAAP net income, and (iv) non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses that are outlined in the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table on page 10.

In managing RFMD's business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In developing and monitoring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce unit costs with the goal of increasing gross margin. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures to assess whether research and development efforts are at an appropriate level, and when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and marketing programs. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and enable investors to analyze the results of operations in the same way as management. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to enable investors to perform additional comparisons of operating results and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses, unusual items and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in RFMD's underlying performance.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of RFMD's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of RFMD's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting RFMD's business. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Our rationale for using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as their impact on the presentation of RFMD's operations, are outlined below:

Non-GAAP gross margin. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up and an adjustment for manufacturing facility relocation and related costs. We believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP gross margin gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating RFMD's historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies. We believe that the majority of RFMD's purchased intangibles are not relevant to analyzing current operations because they generally represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, and thus are effectively part of transaction costs rather than ongoing costs of operating RFMD's business. In this regard, we note that (i) once the intangibles are fully amortized, the intangibles will not be replaced with cash costs and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time, and (ii) although we set the amortization expense based on useful life of the various assets at the time of the transaction, we cannot influence the timing and amount of the future amortization expense recognition once the lives are established. Similarly, we believe that presentation of non-GAAP gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense assists management and investors in evaluating the period-over-period performance of RFMD's ongoing operations because (i) the expenses are non-cash in nature, and (ii) although the size of the grants is within our control, the amount of expense varies depending on factors such as short-term fluctuations in stock price volatility and prevailing interest rates, which can be unrelated to the operational performance of RFMD during the period in which the expense is incurred and generally is outside the control of management. Moreover, we believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors to understand the impact of the expensing of share-based compensation to RFMD's gross margins and other financial measures in comparison to both prior periods as well as to its competitors. We also believe that the adjustments to margin related to the acquisition of Sirenza (amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up and an adjustment for manufacturing facility relocation and related costs), do not constitute part of RFMD's ongoing operations and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating our historical and projected performance.

We believe disclosure of non-GAAP gross margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses do not represent continuing cash expenditures and, as described above, we have little control over the timing and amount of the expenses in question.

Non-GAAP operating (loss) income. Non-GAAP operating (loss) income excludes share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, gain on sale of substantially all Bluetooth(R) assets, acquired in process research and development, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, impairment of intangible license, costs associated with the relocation of a manufacturing facility, manufacturing start-up costs, and adjustments associated with the discontinuation of our WLAN chipset development efforts. We believe that presentation of a measure of operating (loss) income that excludes amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense is useful to both management and investors for the same reasons as described above with respect to our use of non-GAAP gross margin. We believe that restructuring charges, as well as the expenses and adjustments associated with the discontinuation of our WLAN chipset development efforts, manufacturing start-up costs, gain on sale of substantially all Bluetooth(R) assets, acquired in process research and development, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, impairment of intangible license, and costs associated with the relocation of a manufacturing facility, do not constitute part of RFMD's ongoing operations and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP operating (loss) income has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either non-recurring in nature or do not represent current cash expenditures.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude the effects of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, manufacturing start-up costs, gain on sale of substantially all Bluetooth(R) assets, acquired in process research and development, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, impairment of intangible license, costs associated with the relocation of a manufacturing facility, adjustments associated with the discontinuation of our WLAN chipset development efforts, loss on investment, and also reflect an adjustment of income tax expense associated with the exclusion of certain of these non-GAAP adjustments. We believe that presentation of measures of net income and net income per diluted share that exclude these items is useful to both management and investors for the reasons described above with respect to non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either non-recurring in nature, do not represent current cash expenditures, or are variable in nature and thus unlikely to become recurring expenses.

Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income and net (loss) income per diluted share are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in RFMD's industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the corresponding GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income and net (loss) income per diluted share.

Maxwell Technologies Reports First Quarter Financial ResultsUltracapacitor Revenue Up 64% as Top Line Grows by 38% vs. Q1 2007CONFERENCE CALL & WEBCAST AT 5 P.M. (EDT) TODAY, MAY 6, 2008 - DETAILS BELOW

SAN DIEGO, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. today reported revenue of $17.3 million for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 38 percent over the $12.6 million recorded in the same period in 2007. Operating loss for the first quarter 2008 was $3.4 million, compared with $4.5 million in the same period last year. First quarter 2008 net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.28 per share, compared with $4.0 million, or $0.24 per share, in the same period last year, was affected by a non-cash negative swing of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.12 per share, in the change in fair value of conversion features of convertible debentures issued in 2005.

BOOSTCAP(R) ultracapacitor revenue for Q108 increased by 64 percent to $5.4 million, compared with $3.3 million for the same period last year. The company's high voltage capacitor and microelectronics product lines also generated increased sales, combining for Q108 revenue of $12.0 million, up 29 percent from the $9.3 million recorded in Q107.

"Heavy transportation and industrial applications that are advancing into production are contributing to a broader, more predictable revenue base for our emerging ultracapacitor product line," said David Schramm, Maxwell's president and chief executive officer. "Growing demand for ultracapacitors and substantial existing backlogs for our high voltage and microelectronics products are driving what we expect to be another strong revenue performance in the second quarter."

Other significant recent developments include: -- Announcement of a development collaboration with the Johnson Controls-Saft lithium-ion battery joint venture (JC-S), through which Maxwell will validate the cost, performance and environmental advantages of its proprietary dry fabrication process in the production of electrodes for lithium-ion batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles. -- Announcement by Maxwell and NessCap Co., Ltd. that the companies have agreed to a framework for settling patent disputes relating to their respective ultracapacitor products and have signed a Memorandum of Understanding including a provision to immediately halt litigation. -- Opening of an ultracapacitor customer support office in Munich, Germany, to service European automakers and global Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive and transportation industries. -- Recognition of Maxwell's high voltage capacitor group in Switzerland as the Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution High Voltage Circuit Breaker division's 2007 Supplier of the Year.

"We are encouraged by the positive trends for our existing product lines, and we believe that leveraging our patented energy storage technology into the large and rapidly growing lithium-ion battery industry represents a new and exciting value-creation opportunity for Maxwell," Schramm said. "The recently announced alliance with JC-S establishes a working relationship with the world's largest producer of automobile batteries, and late last year we announced a product development and outsource manufacturing collaboration with China's largest producer of lithium-ion batteries, the Lishen Battery Company."

Q108 gross margin was 30 percent, compared with 29 percent in Q407, reflecting ongoing improvements in manufacturing costs and production efficiency. Cash, investments in marketable securities and restricted cash totaled $28.6 million as of March 31, 2008, compared with $30.2 million as of December 31, 2007. Complete financial statements will be available with the filing of the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities & Exchange Commission within the next few days.

Management will conduct a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss first quarter financial results and the outlook for the balance of 2008 at 5 p.m. (EDT) today. The call may be accessed by dialing toll-free, (800) 862-9098 from the U.S. and Canada, or (785) 424-1051 for international callers.

ESCO Announces Second Quarter Results

ST. LOUIS, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ESCO Technologies Inc. today announced its results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2008, and also reaffirmed its full year earnings per share (EPS) guidance.

Within this release, references to "quarters" and "year-to-date" relate to the fiscal quarters and six-month periods ended March 31 for the respective fiscal years noted.

Net earnings and EPS are presented from "Continuing Operations" and "Discontinued Operations." Continuing Operations represent the results of the ongoing businesses of the Company, including the results of Doble for the four-month period subsequent to its November 30, 2007 acquisition. Discontinued Operations represent the results of the filtration portion of Filtertek which was sold on November 25, 2007.

Second Quarter 2008 vs. 2007 Summary - Continuing Operations -- Net sales increased $26.3 million, or 24.2 percent, to $135.2 million. -- EBIT dollars increased $2.1 million, or 19.2 percent, to $12.9 million. -- Total depreciation and amortization expense was $7.0 million compared to $4.3 million. -- Pretax earnings include $3.5 million ($0.08 per share, after tax) of amortization expense related to TWACS NG(TM) software and purchase accounting related assets. -- Pretax earnings were impacted by $3.2 million of interest expense in 2008 compared to $0.2 million of interest income in 2007. -- The effective tax rate was 37.3 percent in the 2008 second quarter compared to 18.5 percent (including the effect of research tax credits) in the second quarter of 2007. -- EPS from Continuing Operations was $0.23 per share (or $0.31 per share adjusted for the $0.08 per share of software and purchase accounting amortization noted above), compared to $0.34 per share in 2007, with the decrease due to higher interest expense and a higher tax rate in 2008. -- Net cash generated during the second quarter was $21.8 million. -- Entered orders were $164.1 million with a book-to-bill ratio of 121 percent. Six Months 2008 Year-to-Date Summary - Continuing Operations -- Net sales increased $80.7 million, or 42.6 percent, to $270.1 million. -- EBIT dollars increased $19.7 million, or 270 percent, to $26.9 million. -- Total depreciation and amortization expense was $12.7 million compared to $7.8 million. -- Pretax earnings include $8.3 million ($0.20 per share, after tax) of amortization expense related to TWACS NG software and purchase accounting related assets. -- Pretax earnings were impacted by $4.5 million of interest expense in 2008 compared to $0.5 million of interest income in 2007. -- The effective tax rate was 37.5 percent in 2008 compared to 2.4 percent (including the effect of research credits and loss in first quarter) in 2007. -- EPS from Continuing Operations was $0.53 per share (or $0.73 per share as adjusted for the $0.20 per share of software and purchase accounting amortization noted above), compared to $0.29 per share in 2007. -- Net cash generated year-to-date was $19.8 million. -- Entered orders were $294.4 million with a book-to-bill ratio of 109 percent. Discontinued Operations Summary

Discontinued Operations had no impact on the 2008 second quarter, and contributed $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share, to the 2007 second quarter.

The sale of Filtertek in the first quarter of 2008 resulted in a year-to-date net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.19 per share, from Discontinued Operations driven by the write-down of the vacated Puerto Rico property and by income tax expense related to its foreign operations.

The divestiture of Filtertek, net of transaction costs, generated $75.5 million of net cash. The Puerto Rico property was sold on March 31, 2008 for $1.4 million with the net cash proceeds of $1.3 million being received on April 1, 2008.

2nd Quarter Year-to-Date Earnings Per Share Summary 2008 2007 2008 2007 Continuing Operations $0.23 0.34 $0.53 0.29 Discontinued Operations -- 0.02 (0.19) 0.02 Net Earnings $0.23 0.36 $0.34 0.31 Sales

Second quarter 2008 sales of $135.2 million were 24.2 percent higher than second quarter 2007 sales of $108.9 million, and year-to-date sales increased 42.6 percent to $270.1 million compared to $189.4 million in 2007. Fiscal 2008 year-to-date sales include the recognition of $20.5 million of revenue in the first quarter related to electric AMI shipments to PG&E which occurred with the delivery of TWACS NG software version 3.0 in December 2007.

Utility Solutions Group sales of $74.6 million increased $25.3 million, or 51.5 percent in the 2008 second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2007, primarily driven by $21.7 million of sales from Doble in the 2008 second quarter. Fixed network RF AMI sales increased $5.1 million, or 43.1 percent, primarily due to higher gas AMI deliveries at PG&E. Fixed network power-line system (PLS) AMI sales decreased $1.8 million, or 5.3 percent, driven by lower sales to IOU customers (primarily in Texas), partially offset by a 22.4 percent increase in deliveries to COOP and public power (Municipal) customers which totaled $29.0 million during the 2008 second quarter. Software sales and sales of digital video security products increased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. Year-to-date 2008 sales of $153.9 million increased $74.6 million, or 94.1 percent, driven by Doble's sales of $31.1 million; an RF AMI sales increase of $16.2 million, or 82.6 percent; and a PLS AMI sales increase of $29.8 million, or 60.2 percent, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in sales of digital video security products.

Test segment sales of $33.5 million in the 2008 second quarter decreased slightly from the $34.0 million of sales recognized in the second quarter of 2007. This decrease is a result of the timing of domestic chamber deliveries which are expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal 2008. Year-to-date, Test segment sales increased 5.4 percent, driven by the continued strength of the international end markets.

Filtration segment sales of $27.1 million increased $1.4 million, or 5.5 percent in the second quarter of 2008, primarily driven by the continued strength in the commercial aerospace market. Year-to-date, Filtration sales increased $2.7 million, or 5.6 percent.

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)

On a segment basis, items that impacted EBIT dollars and EBIT as a percent of sales ("EBIT margin") during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 included the following:

In the Utility Solutions Group, EBIT for the 2008 second quarter was $10.5 million (14.0 percent of sales), compared to $6.1 million (12.4 percent of sales) in the 2007 second quarter. The $4.4 million increase in EBIT dollars in the 2008 second quarter was the result of the sales increases within the segment as noted above. The 2008 second quarter also included higher TWACS NG software amortization compared to the 2007 second quarter ($2.9 million compared to $1.8 million). Year-to-date, 2008 EBIT was $23.9 million (15.5 percent of sales) compared to $3.3 million (4.2 percent of sales) with the significant increase driven by the 94 percent increase in year-to-date sales within this segment.

In the Test segment, EBIT was $2.7 million (8.2 percent of sales) and $4.7 million (7.2 percent of sales) for the 2008 second quarter and six months, respectively, compared to the 2007 second quarter and year-to-date EBIT of $4.1 million (12.0 percent of sales) and $6.2 million (10.0 percent of sales), respectively. The 2008 EBIT included approximately $0.7 million of non-recurring costs associated with the facility consolidation in Austin, Texas that was completed in January 2008. Absent these charges, the Test segment margin for the second quarter of 2008 would have been approximately 2.2 percent higher. Additionally, EBIT margins were lower due to changes in sales mix involving additional large chambers and fewer high-margin components sold in the comparable periods.

In the Filtration segment, 2008 second quarter EBIT was $4.9 million (18.1 percent of sales) compared to $5.2 million (20.3 percent of sales) in the prior year second quarter. The decrease in EBIT dollars and margin is due to sales mix changes at VACCO where fewer high margin defense spares were sold in the 2008 second quarter. Year-to-date, 2008 EBIT was $8.6 million (16.9 percent of sales) compared to 2007 EBIT of $6.9 million (14.4 percent of sales) with the increases being driven by the strength of the commercial aerospace market.

Corporate operating costs included in EBIT were $5.2 million and $10.2 million in the second quarter and six months of 2008, respectively, compared to $4.6 million and $9.1 million in the 2007 second quarter and six months, respectively. The 2008 increases are due to lower royalty income and higher amortization expenses related to purchase accounting identifiable intangible assets recorded at Corporate.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate from Continuing Operations in the second quarter of 2008 was 37.3 percent compared to 18.5 percent in the second quarter of 2007, and 37.5 percent compared to 2.4 percent for the six month periods of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The 2007 tax rates were favorably benefited by research tax credits realized throughout 2007.

New Orders

New orders received in 2008 were $164.1 million for the second quarter, and $294.4 million year-to-date resulting in a backlog at March 31, 2008 of $281.9 million.

New orders received were $99.6 million in the Utility Solutions Group, $32.5 million in Test, and $31.9 million in Filtration during the second quarter of 2008.

During the 2008 second quarter, Aclara Power-Line Systems received $25.1 million in orders from COOP and Municipal customers, and $8.9 million in orders from PREPA.

Orders from PG&E during the 2008 second quarter were $32.3 million, including $4.1 million related to the RF electric AMI order announced in March 2008. Subsequent to the second quarter end, the Company recorded an additional $11.1 million of PG&E orders ($6.1 million RF gas and $4.7 million RF electric) related to its AMI deployment, resulting in year-to-date PG&E orders of $57.6 million. Total PG&E order quantities since inception (1.7 million units, or $112.4 million) are detailed in a separate press release also dated May 6, 2008.

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities from Continuing Operations was $37.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $31 million in cash and $250.5 million of total debt outstanding for a net debt position of $219.5 million.

Doble Purchase Accounting

Management has finalized its purchase accounting valuation related to the identifiable intangible assets for Doble and has reflected these changes in the Balance Sheet at March 31, 2008. Identifiable intangible assets generally include: trade names; customer relationships; patents and proprietary know-how; firm order backlog; non-compete and employment agreements for key managers, and specific software and database applications. These identifiable intangible assets are required to be recorded on the opening Balance Sheet and amortized over their useful lives.

The total amount of Doble's identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization was $56.3 million and the estimated lives for these assets ranged from five years for certain software and database applications to 20 years for certain long-term customer relationships. Other intangible assets identified in the purchase accounting valuation were $192.6 million of non-amortizable goodwill and $112.3 million of indefinite life trade names.

The annual pretax amortization charge related to Doble's identifiable intangible assets is expected to be approximately $3.3 million for five years, decreasing to $2.7 million for the remaining 15 years.

Regarding tangible assets, Doble's finished goods inventory was required to be "stepped up" during purchase accounting by $1.7 million, which results in finished goods inventory being sold with no profit recognized. This results in positive cash flow, but "lost" profit of $1.3 million in fiscal 2008 and $0.4 million in fiscal 2009.

Chairman's Commentary

Vic Richey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am very pleased with our second quarter results as we exceeded our internal targets on nearly every operating metric. We came in well above plan on EBIT, cash flow, working capital and entered orders. Our Utility Solutions Group orders were well ahead of plan this quarter, with the bulk of the upside attributable to additional orders received from PG&E for the gas portion of its AMI deployment along with the initial RF electric order announced in March.

"On the AMR/AMI front, I remain very excited about the opportunities that we are addressing in the international marketplace as well as the momentum we are seeing from potential domestic customers as well. The amount of international pilot activity continues to expand, and we are confident that a few of these trials will ultimately lead to initial deployments over the next 12 months.

"Regarding Doble, the early results have been excellent, and after spending more time with the management team in Boston, I am more confident than ever that this acquisition will continue to exceed our original expectations and will be a significant contributor to our stated goal of increasing long-term shareholder value."

Mr. Richey concluded, "The continued market leadership position that our businesses demonstrate with innovative products and reliable services continues to provide us with growth opportunities across all business segments. Based on our current outlook described below, 2008 should be an exciting time for ESCO, both from a customer and shareholder perspective."

Business Outlook

Statements contained in the preceding and following paragraphs are based on current expectations. Statements that are not strictly historical are considered forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

The Business Outlook described below excludes the Discontinued Operations of Filtertek and the impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures, and includes: the expected operating results of Doble for the 10 months of operations included in fiscal 2008 since the date of acquisition; the impact of the amortization of identifiable intangible purchase accounting assets related to Aclara Software, Aclara RF, and Doble; the impact of the inventory step-up resulting in "lost" profit, and the amortization of the TWACS NG software.

PG&E Contract

PG&E's ongoing technology assessment activities may impact the timing and/or receipt of future orders from PG&E for its electric deployment, and until PG&E completes this evaluation and determines whether it will modify its AMI project plan, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing or total value of equipment orders that may be received. The gas portion of the PG&E contract is continuing to be deployed using Aclara RF's fixed network solution.

Revenue, EBIT Margins, and Earnings Per Share - 2008

Management continues to expect fiscal year 2008 revenues, EBIT margins and EPS to be consistent with the ranges described in detail in the Company's February 7, 2008 release.

Fiscal 2008 EPS is expected to be within the following ranges: EPS - GAAP Continuing Operations $1.80 to 1.90 Add: Intangible Asset Amortization and Inventory Step-Up $0.42 0.42 EPS - Adjusted Basis $2.22 to 2.32

As explained in the February 7, 2008 release, the $0.42 per share noted in the above reconciliation includes TWACS NG software amortization, purchase accounting intangible asset amortization related to the Company's recent acquisitions, and Doble's purchase accounting inventory step-up.

Additionally, interest expense for 2008, which is included in the GAAP EPS amounts noted above, is expected to be in the range of $0.24 to $0.26 per share, and stock option expense is expected to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.10 per share for the year. The effective annual tax rate for fiscal 2008 is expected to be approximately 37.5 percent.

SGI Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2008 ResultsOrder Momentum Continues; Strong Q4 Start with Significant Wins

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SGI today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, which ended March 28, 2008.

The Company's Webcast and conference call to discuss results is Tuesday, May 6 at 2:00 p.m. PDT. The Webcast and presentation materials will be available on the SGI Investors Relations Web page at the time of the call, at http://www.sgi.com/company_info/investors/.

Third Quarter FY08 Highlights Overall in its third quarter, SGI: -- Grew orders 50 percent over orders received in the third quarter of the prior year -- Grew backlog to $134 million as of March 28, 2008, an 80 percent increase over the beginning of the company's fiscal year on a comparable basis -- Accelerated its software strategy with acquisition of key IP assets formerly owned by Linux Networx

"We have made great strides in continuing to execute on our strategy this quarter," said Bo Ewald, SGI Chief Executive Officer. "We saw a 50 percent increase in orders compared to the third quarter of last year, acquired significant software assets to strengthen our business and accelerate development of our Industrial Strength Linux Environment, announced a new support solutions program to reinforce our services offerings, and continued building on solid traction in our core markets. And with new significant customer wins in April, the fourth quarter is off to a strong start as well."

In this press release, SGI uses certain pro forma financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are referred to as "pro forma" in this press release. In addition, the company uses bookings and backlog to measure performance. Bookings, also referred to as orders, reflect authorized orders for SGI products and professional services accepted in the period that are expected to ship in the next twelve months. Backlog is the cumulative bookings for which the company has not yet recognized revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, bookings and backlog are useful to investors because they facilitate period to period comparisons of SGI performance and because they help investors view the company's results of operations through the eyes of management and the company's lenders. SGI's credit line covenants, management reporting and incentive plans are measured against certain of these non-GAAP financial measures.

GAAP Q3 Results

GAAP revenue for the third quarter was $79.1 million, compared to $90.1 million in the second quarter. The third quarter GAAP operating loss was $40.6 million, compared to $30.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. GAAP operating expenses were $59.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, as compared to $58.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Pro Forma Q3 Results

Pro forma revenue was $80.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $109.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2008 grew to $133.9 million compared to $95.8 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the highest backlog level in the past five quarters.

"We are on track with growth in bookings, with much of the growth being attributable to significant wins and large long-term installations," said Kathy Lanterman, SGI Chief Financial Officer. "As we have said, our challenge is the revenue conversion cycle for these long-term orders, where revenue is not recognized for several months or quarters after we receive an order. We expect our operating results to improve as our growing backlog starts converting to revenue over the next two quarters."

Pro forma revenue excludes the impact of fresh-start accounting and the deferral of the company's recognition of revenues for certain of the company's transactions where software is more than incidental to the overall solution pursuant to AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2"). Pro forma gross margin for the third quarter, which is adjusted for similar items, was 26.9 percent compared with 35.7 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Pro forma operating expenses, which exclude restructuring and reorganization-related expenses, the non-cash impact of the acquisition of IP assets of Linux Networx, stock-based compensation expense and the impact of fresh start accounting, were $52.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with $55.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as defined in the company's debt agreements, were a loss of $25.7 million, compared with an $11.0 million loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the company's GAAP results of operations, including an illustration of the impact of the company's fresh start accounting and the impact of the implementation of SOP 97-2, is attached to this press release and is also available at http://www.sgi.com/company_info/investors.

Strong Start to Fourth Quarter

SGI also reported that it has secured several major domestic and international wins during the fourth quarter to date. These included:

-- NASA chose SGI to supply its next major supercomputer, a 20,480-core, 20TB SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE system, after a competitive evaluation the space agency launched last year. The new supercomputer will support NASA's aeronautics, science, space operations and space exploration initiatives, including its plan to resume manned missions to the moon and eventually manned exploration of Mars. -- SGI entered into a multi-year agreement with total contract payments to SGI expected to be more than $25M with a major national European supercomputing center to equip the institution with high-performance SGI computing and storage solutions. The systems will be used to drive multiple applications and manage massive amounts of data. -- SGI also will provide a large European weather service with an extensive data warehouse solution, which will run Oracle 10g and Oracle Clusterware. The solution incorporates SGI Altix 4700 and SGI Altix 450 servers, and will enable the weather service to analyze more than 30 years of meteorological data -- a challenge that represents 360 terabytes of user data.

"We believe this quarter's wins show significant momentum for SGI across multiple geographies and product lines," added Ewald. "Our ability to prevail in many exceptionally competitive sales situations shows that customers recognize the value of open-standards-based solutions that deliver superior price/performance and leading energy efficiency."

Recent SGI Announcements -- Virtu VN200: A high density, highly scalable visualization system that can fully incorporate leading edge visualization capabilities into the full line of SGI Altix, SGI Altix XE and SGI Altix ICE servers. -- InfiniteStorage 4600: A new flagship RAID storage system that augments the InfiniteStorage product line and helps organizations meet the escalating bandwidth and I/O demands of today's performance-driven applications. -- Virtualized Storage Migration Solution: The new solution allows enterprises to choose the storage device that best suits their needs -- an advantage that can lead to better data utilization and significantly lower ownership costs. The new solution also allows enterprises to migrate data without disrupting operations. -- Climate Savers: SGI joined the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a nonprofit group of consumers, businesses and conservation organizations dedicated to improving the power efficiency and reducing the energy consumption of computers. -- Support Solutions Plus: Through this new services support program, SGI provides a single, centralized contact for technical support, secured site management, and parts logistics requirements for many other vendors' products as well as SGI products. -- SGI Altix ICE enhancements: This quarter Altix ICE boasts new blade enclosures and blade options that increase the performance density of the platform by including improvements to memory, bandwidth and interconnect performance, and an enhanced cluster management environment, as well as make use of the next-generation InfiniBand chip technology. -- The NBA and SGI announced a multi-year extension of their relationship to expand the league's groundbreaking digital workflow and media management system, the NBA Digital Media Management System. The extended relationship will enable NBA to accelerate and double the historical digital archiving effort by ingesting 60,000 hours of video content each year. Conference Call

This table includes a reconciliation of each listed component to the comparable GAAP figures. (2) The non-GAAP adjustments for SOP 97-2 are indicative of the revenue results the company would have recorded without the effect of SOP 97-2, although these are unaudited adjustments. We believe that this presentation more closely matches the results that would have been recorded had SAB 104 been applied, in which case the revenue for the hardware components of the arrangement would have been recorded when those deliverables were completed, and the primary remaining deliverable is customer support. Generally, this presentation matches the timing of billings to customers for the hardware deliverables, and therefore allows more transparency to cashflows.

16 Telecommunications Companies Sign Agreement to Build High-Bandwidth Undersea Cable System From UK to India

LONDON, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Major leaders of the global telecommunications industry Tuesday (May 6) signed a construction and maintenance agreement (C&MA) to build the first direct, high-bandwidth optical-fiber submarine cable system from the United Kingdom to India. The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system, which will cost more than US$700 million, will significantly enhance capacity and diversity between the countries of these regions.

Sixteen telecommunications companies are investing in the project: AT&T; Bharti Airtel; BT; Cable &Wireless; Djibouti Telecom; Du; Gibtelecom; IAM; Libyan Post, Telecom and Information Technology Company; MTN Group Ltd; Omantel; PT Comunicacoes, S.A.; Saudi Telecom Company; Telecom Egypt; Telkom SA Ltd; and Verizon Business.

The EIG cable system, targeted to be operational in the second quarter of 2010, is a 15,000-kilometer (9,000-mile) system that will connect three continents. Thirteen landings are planned in the United Kingdom, Portugal, Gibraltar, Morocco, Monaco, France, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Oman, United Arab Emirates and India. In addition to serving these regions, the EIG cable system will also provide seamless interconnection with other major cable systems connecting Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. The system will utilize state-of-art next-generation technology that is designed to provide up to 3.84 terabits per second (Tbps) using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) to provide upgradeable transmission facilities that support Internet, e-commerce, video, data and voice services.

In addition to complementing existing high-bandwidth cable systems in the region, the EIG cable system will provide much-needed diversity for broadband traffic currently relying largely on traditional routes from Europe to India. This is important, considering the threat of earthquakes in this region. The EIG cable system, with its large bandwidth and high-quality transmission technology, will help meet the present and future growth in telecommunications traffic between the targeted regions.

In addition to the C&MA signing, the EIG Consortium also signed a supply contract with Alcatel-Lucent and Tyco Telecommunications for the cable system's construction.

Microsoft et le Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group mettront au point des systèmes automobiles d'infodivertissement de nouvelle génération

SÃ‰OUL, Corée du Sud, May 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- Un nouveau partenariat pour l'internationalisation d'un système automobile d'infodivertissement novateur.

Aujourd'hui, Microsoft Corp et le Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group (HKAG) ont conclu un accord à long terme visant l'élaboration conjointe de systèmes automobiles d'infodivertissement de nouvelle génération. Bill Gates, président de Microsoft, et Mongku Chung, président de HKAG, étaient présents lorsque Martin Thall, directeur général de la division Automotive Business de Microsoft, et Hyun Soon Lee, président et directeur de la technologie de HKAG, ont signé l'accord à Séoul.

(Logo : http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

Microsoft et HKAG collaboreront afin de proposer de nouvelles solutions novatrices fondées sur la plate-forme logicielle Microsoft Auto, ce qui leur permettra d'offrir la future technologie automobile à tous les conducteurs Hyundai-Kia partout dans le monde.

<< Ces nouveaux systèmes redéfiniront l'expérience des conducteurs de voitures >>, a déclaré M. Thall. << Depuis le printemps 2006, HKAG et Microsoft partagent leur vision de l'avenir en matière de technologie automobile. Nous sommes maintenant en position idéale pour mettre au point des systèmes automobiles d'infodivertissement de nouvelle génération. >>

<< Nous sommes heureux de nous associer à Microsoft pour offrir des solutions d'infodivertissement de haut rendement à nos clients >>, a déclaré M. Lee. << Les capacités avancées, la flexibilité et le prix de vente peu élevé rendent la plate-forme logicielle Microsoft Auto intéressante pour nous. >>

Le premier produit, un système d'infodivertissement de nouvelle génération offrant une connectivité à commande vocale entre les appareils mobiles, sera lancé sur le marché nord-américain en 2010. Par la suite, il sera déployé sur les marchés asiatique et européen et augmentera sa portée afin d'inclure les dispositifs multimédias et de navigation. Ces systèmes d'infodivertissement conviviaux permettront aux consommateurs d'écouter de la musique en plusieurs formats numériques.

Les systèmes d'infodivertissement de nouvelle génération sont comparables à de petits ordinateurs. MÃªme après le lancement du produit, il est possible d'y ajouter de nouvelles fonctions ou de l'actualiser en mettant les programmes à jour, ce qui constitue une innovation par rapport à la technologie multimédia automobile existante.

L'adoption de la plate-forme logicielle Microsoft Auto par le Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group accroît la présence de Microsoft sur le marché automobile asiatique et améliore l'industrie automobile mondiale. Les équipes d'ingénierie et de marketing de la division Automotive Business de Microsoft, située à Redmond, Washington, travailleront directement avec leurs homologues de HKAG à Séoul dans le but de faciliter l'atteinte de cet objectif. Les systèmes soutenus par la plate-forme Microsoft Auto sont actuellement disponibles sur les véhicules du Fiat Auto Group en Europe et en Amérique du Sud, et sur les véhicules de Ford Motor Co en Amérique du Nord.

Dans une annonce parallèle, Microsoft et Hyundai-Kia, en collaboration avec l'Institute for Information Technology Advancement (IITA), ont signé un protocole d'entente (PE) dans le but d'établir conjointement un centre d'innovation de TI dans le domaine de l'automobile dont l'objectif sera de promouvoir l'innovation et les occasions offertes aux fournisseurs de logiciels et de dispositifs coréens par le marché mondial.

Division Automotive Business de Microsoft

La division Automotive Business de Microsoft est un partenaire dévoué de l'industrie automobile et offre des technologies novatrices et des plates-formes flexibles dans le but d'aider à fournir des systèmes automobiles d'infodivertissement à la fois plus simples, plus fiables et plus rentables. Mises au point grâce à une étroite collaboration avec les fabricants automobiles et les fournisseurs de l'industrie, les plates-formes logicielles primées Microsoft Auto et Windows Automotive permettent aux utilisateurs en déplacement de se connecter à partir d'une importante gamme d'appareils, de services et de technologies, y compris la communication mains libres, l'intégration de l'appareil mobile, la navigation personnalisée et un divertissement numérique haute fidélité.

Thomson Reuters and Lance Armstrong Foundation Provide Online Cancer InformationCancer Profiler provides patients with treatment information on www.livestrong.org

ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- More than 1.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and they will confront the question, "what do I do now?" To increase cancer patients' understanding of their medical treatment options, Thomson Reuters has partnered with the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) to provide 20 Cancer Profiler tools on http://www.livestrong.org/.

Now available under the Web site's Cancer Support tab (http://www.livestrong.org/cancersupport), the Thomson Reuters Cancer Profiler tools allow patients and caregivers to enter detailed information on a diagnosis and receive treatment options and other information that can be used in the management of the condition. The online resource provides a step-by-step approach to help users better understand diagnostic tests, treatment options and, in some cases, possible outcomes based on the experience of similar people treated within clinical trials. All of the information is based on a database of peer-reviewed clinical research.

No other Internet offering produces such in-depth treatment information tailored to an individual's specific diagnosis and clinical status. This individualized information helps patients have more informed discussions with their doctors, take charge of their health, and participate more fully in treatment decisions -- with the aim of improving their medical prognosis.

"The Cancer Profilers provide invaluable support to the patient-physician discussion of treatment options," said Dr. Debra L. Friedman, associate member director for the Survivorship Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. "This support, focusing on treatment information that is relevant to a patient's specific situation, is extremely helpful at a time when patients are faced with the fear and challenges of a cancer diagnosis."

The Cancer Profiler tools use patented technology to lead users through an easy-to-follow questionnaire that matches the patient's diagnosis, diagnostic results, and disease stage with the relevant treatment options.

"This tool significantly expands what we are able to offer those who visit http://www.livestrong.org/ in terms of personalized treatment options, awareness and education," said Andy Miller, vice president of programs and policies for the LAF. "We are pleased to partner with Thomson Reuters to provide this invaluable information to help LAF visitors understand their cancer treatment options."

Thomson Reuters' Profiler treatment option tools provide customized information on more than 30 chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular, pulmonary and urologic conditions. They have been used by more than 1 million people on Web sites of the American Heart Association, American Lung Association, and academic and commercial healthcare organizations.

Verizon Business Joins Consortium to Build Undersea Cable System Between Europe and India

LONDON, May 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- Company's Participation in EIG Enhances Leading Global Network Capabilities

Verizon Business Tuesday (May 6) joined a consortium of 16 companies building a next-generation undersea optical cable system connecting Europe, the Middle East and India.

The new system, named the Europe India Gateway (EIG), is the third major submarine cable project Verizon Business has helped launch in the last four years and continues the company's global network leadership in delivering more capacity, reliability and speed for the data, video and voice services of its multinational customers.

The 15,000-kilometer (9,000-mile) cable network system, expected to be completed in 2010, will connect three continents at a cost of more than $700 million (U.S.). It will have a design capacity of up to 3.84 terabits per second (Tbps).

"This new cable system will provide not only a second, diverse route from India to Europe, but also direct access to our network in Europe," said Ihab Tarazi, Verizon Business vice president of global network planning. "Combined with our other network capabilities, we will offer our customers reduced latency (the time it takes data sent from its entry point in the network to reach its destination), reduced provisioning time and increased reliability."

Verizon Business is a leader in developing undersea cable systems. The company is the only U.S.-based founding member of the Trans-Pacific Express Cable, which will provide the first high-speed direct link between the U.S. and mainland China when activated in July. Verizon Business also is the only founding U.S. partner in an existing Southeast Asia-to-Europe (via the Indian subcontinent) submarine cable called SEA-ME-WE-4 (Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4).

The EIG will give Verizon Business customers a second, diverse landing in France. As with SEA-ME-WE-4, Verizon Business will operate a landing station in Marseilles that will connect directly with the company's recently expanded ultra-long-haul network in Europe.

With the addition of the EIG, Verizon Business also plans to extend its industry-leading global mesh architecture to the Middle East and India. Meshing is network design that connects undersea cable systems on land, allowing for instantaneous rerouting of traffic in the event of multiple undersea cable breaks. Currently, the company operates a seven-way diverse mesh network between the U.S. and Europe and five-way diversity between the U.S. and Japan, with expansion to seven-way diversity to Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan planned for the second half of 2008.

Verizon Business continues to expand its partnerships and presence in the Middle East and India. Verizon Business earlier this year received licenses for international and national long-distance services in India and will offer a full range of services including international private-leased circuits with multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and Internet protocol (IP) services. The company already holds an Internet service provider license in India.

"As the world's leading companies grow their presence in emerging market regions, they know they can rely on our leading global network to support their critical business applications," said Tarazi. "Wherever they do business in the world, our customers know they can count on us to use our outstanding network capabilities to deliver business solutions."

Verizon Business owns and operates a global fiber-optic network that spans six continents and has more than 485,000 route miles delivering services to customers in more than 150 countries and 2,700 cities throughout the world. The company is involved in more than 67 submarine cables worldwide.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JAVAONE -- Motorola, Inc. today announced an expanded line of tools for its MOTODEV Studio development platform. Offering an updated toolset for coding Java ME(TM) applications and unveiling plans for tools that support application development on Symbian(TM)/UIQ(TM), WebUI and mobile Linux(R) platforms, Motorola is enabling developers to innovate across its mobile device portfolio.

Based on an open framework enabled by Eclipse, MOTODEV Studio is an integrated development environment that provides the necessary tools for the application development life cycle -- from requirements definition to testing and deployment -- across all Motorola platforms. MOTODEV Studio and its associated toolsets are designed to enable developers all over the world to create platform-specific applications for Motorola devices -- even before they are available on the market.

"Since its launch in August 2007, MOTODEV Studio for Java ME has enjoyed strong success for developers looking for a full set of tools for compiling, debugging, and testing mobile Java applications for Motorola's most popular devices," said Christy Wyatt, vice president, software platforms & ecosystem, Motorola. "By adding new toolsets to our robust MOTODEV Studio development platform, Motorola is providing developers with everything they need to create innovative applications and extend them across Motorola's mobile device portfolio."

Developers will be able to create applications using standard Web programming languages such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS and AJAX. The development environment will also support future versions of Motorola's MOTOMAGX mobile Linux platform, which incorporates the open source WebKit technology. -- MOTODEV Studio for Linux: demonstrated as a technology preview that will be available later this quarter, MOTODEV Studio for Linux will support native C/C++ application development on future versions of Motorola's MOTOMAGX mobile Linux platform. With millions of Linux-based devices shipped worldwide, Motorola has one of the broadest Linux device offerings of any mobile handset manufacturer. MOTODEV Studio for Linux underlines Motorola's continued commitment to mobile Linux and open source.

"We are pleased that Motorola continues to support and leverage the extensible frameworks of Eclipse to expand its MOTODEV Studio development platform," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Both Motorola and the Eclipse Foundation believe that open platforms provide the best possible working environment for developers and complete toolsets such as those in MOTODEV Studio ease the mobile application development process."

Microsoft and Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group to Develop Next Generation of In-Car InfotainmentNew partnership will globalize innovative in-car infotainment.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Microsoft Corp. and Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group (HKAG) entered into a long-term agreement to co-develop the next generation of in-car infotainment systems. Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft and Eui-Sun Chung, president of HKAG were present as Martin Thall, general manager of Microsoft's Automotive Business Unit, and Hyun Soon Lee, president and chief technology officer of HKAG, signed the agreement in Seoul.

Together, Microsoft and HKAG will deliver new and innovative solutions based on the Microsoft Auto software platform, bringing the future of in-car technology to Hyundai-Kia drivers worldwide.

"These new systems will redefine consumer experiences in the car," Thall said. "Since the spring of 2006, HKAG and Microsoft have been sharing their vision for the future of in-car technology. We're now aligned to develop the next generation of in-car infotainment systems."

"HKAG's strategic vision is to become a global leader in automotive and information technology convergence." Chung said, "The partnership with Microsoft will form the foundation for achieving that vision."

The first product, a next-generation infotainment system that provides voice-controlled connectivity between mobile devices, will be introduced in the North American market in 2010. It will further apply to Asian and European markets, and expand into multimedia and navigation devices. These easy-to-use infotainment systems will allow consumers to enjoy music in various digital formats.

The next-generation infotainment systems are comparable to mini-PCs. Even after product launch, new functions can be added or upgraded in the form of software program updates, an innovation to existing in-car multimedia technology.

The Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group's adoption of the Microsoft Auto software platform increases Microsoft's presence in the Asian car market and enhances the global automotive business. The engineering and marketing teams of Microsoft's Automotive Business Unit in Redmond, Wash., will be working directly with counterparts at HKAG in Seoul to support this goal. Systems powered by the current version of Microsoft Auto are currently available in Fiat Auto Group vehicles in Europe and South America and Ford Motor Co. vehicles in North America.

In a related announcement, Microsoft and Hyundai-Kia, along with the Institute for Information Technology Advancement (IITA), signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to co-establish an automotive IT innovation center with the goal of promoting innovation and opportunities for Korean software and device vendors in the global market. Hyundai-Kia will invest $166 million over the next five years to bring IT technology advancements into the car and to develop new in-car services.

Thomson Reuters publie le rapport << World IP Today >>, analysant l'activité mondiale des brevets et des innovations technologiques en 2007

LONDRES, May 6 /PRNewswire/ --

Thomson Reuters, la première source de veille économique du monde pour les entreprises et les professionnels, a publié aujourd'hui deux numéros de World IP Today analysant l'activité mondiale des brevets et des innovations technologiques pour l'année 2007. Les deux rapports sont élaborés à partir des données tirées de Thomson Innovation(SM), le nouveau standard de recherche et d'analyse IP, et portant un regard détaillé et complet sur les développements IP récents à travers le monde.

<< L'activité d'octroi de brevets couvrant des données considérables de Thomson Reuters nous permet de suivre les nouvelles tendances et les derniers développements technologiques au fil de leur apparition >>, a déclaré Ben Lansbury, analyste des brevets de Thomson Reuters. << Alors que certains pays deviennent des acteurs importants sur la scène internationale, nous pouvons voir les pics et les augmentations de leurs activités de brevet. Nos deux rapports dévoilent la nature dynamique du secteur IP et son importance cruciale aussi bien pour les économies nationales et que pour les puissances mondiales. >>

World IP Today : un rapport de Thomson Reuters sur l'activité mondiale des brevets en 2007 (<< World IP Today: A Thomson Reuters Report On Global Patent Activity in 2007 >>) met en exergue les nouveaux brevets des pays du G8 (Canada, France, Allemagne, Italie, Japon, Russie, Royaume-Uni et Ã‰tats-Unis), plus la Chine et la Corée du Sud. Les conclusions indiquent :

-- L'activité mondiale des brevets a augmenté de 21 % entre 2003 et 2006, avec une année 2007 qui sera sans aucun doute une autre année d'augmentation des brevets. -- Le Japon reste encore le premier pays dépositaire de brevets, mais il continue à baisser lentement. La prédominance du Japon sur les Ã‰tats-Unis et la Chine connaît une baisse alors que les soumissions de brevets augmentent dans ces deux marchés. Les dépôts de brevet chinois ont presque doublé ces 5 dernières années. -- C'est en Chine et en Russie oÃ¹ les innovations universitaires ont le plus haut pourcentage, avec près de 25 % des activités de brevet. -- La Corée du Sud protège plus d'inventions mondiales que jamais auparavant, alors que les Ã‰tats-Unis a connu la plus forte baisse du nombre de brevets déposés de ces principales régions créatrices de brevet.

World IP Today : un rapport de Thomson Reuters concernant les innovations technologiques en 2007 (<< World IP Today: A Thomson Reuters Report On Global Technology Innovations in 2007 >>) examine le développement mondial des innovations technologiques en 2007, en mettant l'emphase sur les inventions tri-latérales ou les inventions qui ont été déposées aux Ã‰tats-Unis, en Europe et au Japon. Parmi les principales conclusions :

-- Quatre domaines technologiques sont vraiment exemplaires dans la protection de grandes quantités d'inventions : l'électronique grand public, l'informatique, les télécommunications et la technologie des services commerciaux et de divertissement. -- La protection pour les inventions informatiques des trois plus grands marchés, le Japon, les Ã‰tats-Unis et l'Europe, a été plus intense que dans les autres secteurs technologiques. -- Les innovations au sein du secteur informatique sont partagées de façon plus égale entre les pays que les autres technologies. -- Parmi les dix plus importants dépositaires de brevets basés sur les innovations aux Ã‰tats-Unis, en Europe et au Japon durant 2007, la plupart provenait du Japon. -- Il y a eu une baisse considérable en termes d'innovation au sein des secteurs industriels, audiovisuels et de l'enregistrement des données entre 2001 et 2007, ainsi qu'une chute dramatique dans le secteur des semi-conducteurs, de l'ordre de 26 % durant la mÃªme période.

<< Nous sommes enthousiasmés à l'idée de faire partie du déploiement initial de l'initiative de détection de plagiat car cela souligne l'importance que nous accordons à l'aide apportée à nos clients afin qu'ils contrôlent la qualité de leurs soumissions de manuscrits et de révisions en ligne par des pairs >>, a déclaré Keith MacGregor, vice-président directeur de Thomson Reuters Academic and Government Market. << Nous sommes convaincus que cet effort améliorera en fin de compte la qualité et la précision des travaux de recherche publiés. >>
