15 MicroTransponder Inc. is a medical device company with intellectual property that enables a unique neurostimulation system for the treatment of neurological disease

16 PROGRAM TRADING AI  In 2006 at the London Stock Exchange, over 40% of all orders were entered by algo traders, with 60% predicted for 2007  Half of all financial transactions in the world and 80% in the USA.  $30 billion per year in R&D Confidential

19 DWAVE  DWAVE adiabatic quantum computers could reach 512 to 1000 qubits and performance superior to classical computers in 2008  Successful development of quantum computers would accelerate the development of molecular nanotechnology with superior molecular simulation and modeling. Confidential

20 NEXT 10 YEARS….  Teraflop+ class smartphones that are constantly charged with gigabit+ connections seems likely.  Network to quantum computers and supercomputers of all types for remote processing.  Nvidia Tesla multi-teraflop GPGPU's and AMDs GPGPU Confidential
