Interview
Investorideas.com: Let's start with a quick recap of 2013 and the start of the first quarter.
SMS: A good place to start. Although many though the year would be all gloom and doom for the sector with the Pentagon's budget on a downward slope from the peak in war spending and the expected impact from sequestration, I held a more moderate view. Although there would be stress in the system, I believed that the rise in sales to international defense customers combined with the upcycle in commercial aerospace spending would offset the U.S. government budget declines and things would not be as bad as some forecasted. But even I couldn't foresee how good a year it would become. By the end of 2013, the SPADE Defense Index has gained 48.18%, nearly 20% more than the gain in the S&P500.
Investorideas.com: And the start of 2014?
SMS: The sector is still at or near its historic high. Year to date, the market is down 0.4% but the aerospace and defense sector is up 3.4%.
Investorideas.com: Any patterns you've seen in the numbers?
SMS: We noticed in 2013 that investors interested in the sector appeared to choose individual companies over fund-related —whether Boeing, which was up 81% in 2013 or Lockheed Martin, which gained 61% while offering a 4% dividend. Toward the end of 2013 and continuing through the beginning of the year, we've noticed an inflow into funds such as PPA. This makes some sense after the sector's significant gains in 2013. The ETF gives exposure to the sector and diversification from positions in any one company. Although most firms reported good numbers in their Q1 reporting, comments from Boeing executives regarding their forecast for 2014 spooked the markets and caused the stock to tumble by more than 11% in a ten day period. Fund products offer diversification which gives some investors comfort so a shift was probably inevitable.
Investorideas.com: How do you see the year shaping up going forward?
SMS: Congress and the White House reaching agreement on an FY-14 budget is a great positive as it starts to clarify what the Department of Defense can and will do with the funds allocated to them. A proposed $535 billion core budget would be $36 billion over the sequester-mandated cap with the administration offsetting this increase by reducing other areas in the federal budget. According to Defense News, as part of the budget deal agreement put forth by Sen. Patty Murray and Rep Paul Ryan, the expected budget to be submitted to Congress on March 4 th for 2015 is roughly $496 billion and it includes about $30 billion restored to the Pentagon in 2014 and 2015. We can start to think of these years as the end of the transition period and a stabilization of the current budget puts us possibly near to the bottom of the budget cycle which should stay flat to improving over the next several years and the budget seeing a boost starting in FY16.
Meanwhile, international sales continue to provide a boost to the domestic market and have a meaningful impact on the bottom line of the large firms. Commercial aerospace, which is still in the early innings of a multi-year cycle, is highlighted by Boeing's backlog for new planes stretching to the end of the decade. Newly announced plans to bridge the 777 with a newer plane in 2020 could stretch the commercial aerospace upcycle to the early part of the next decade fueled by global travel growth.
Investorideas.com: And what concerns would keep investors up at night?
SMS: First, with this Congress and White House, there is always political risk and the plans for defense spending mentioned above could easily change. But at least for the moment, the acrimony appears to be calming down a bit. Second, after such a huge run in the stock market during 2013, some companies are near the top of their valuations. So while economic growth is still expected in 2014, which will help justify their valuations, this year is expected to be more of a stock pickers market. Inflows into ETFs are a signal that investors are confident in a sector and want to stay exposed but might be unsure which firms are the clear winners or which firms are at their peak valuations. While shares in the funds being held by investors are up 50% in just the past two to three months, it is still down 75% from its peak. Although we see the sector performing at least in line with the broader market over the rest of the year, if there is an economic hiccup causing investors to pocket gains and pull funds out of the market, stocks overall would see a decline, not just the aerospace and defense sector.
Investorideas.com: Looking at the future of defense technology, which ones and who do you see as benefitting?
SMS: Glad you asked. I will be spending time at the InvestorIdeas.com Security and Defense Conference on March 11th [2014] in New York City and the event is designed to talk about just this.
While wars are obviously to be avoided if at all possible, the post-war environment has historically been a prime period for innovation. Live conflict gives military commanders and planners a chance to evaluate what worked and what didn't work. And from these discussions needs are identified, a plan of action is put in place, and resources are allocated to develop the systems and technologies to eliminate the perceived shortcomings. While new technologies may spring up that provide the military with a previously unforeseen strategic edge, much of the R&D that occurs fits into one of two categories: (1) fixing problems and meeting needs and (2) developing counter technologies.
Additional opportunities can also come from the wave of military personnel entering or returning to the non-military workforce and take the technologies and the lessons learned in warfare and applying them to more, let's say, mundane applications. Post-war medical services and triage capabilities rise as an influx of trained personnel return to society. The application of GPS and positioning technologies for commercial activities expanded after the Gulf War in the 1990s. Although the military bought many of its commercial handheld devices from suppliers such as Radio Shack (true, by the way), GPS becoming a commonplace tool took off following the war as hundreds of thousands of people gained familiarity and exposure to the technology.
Investorideas.com: So what types of technology can we expect to see a boost in the near-term?
SMS: I think they’d fall into three categories.
First, protect the soldier when they are exposed to dangerous situations; and reduce the weight they have to carry through multi-purpose electronics, better reusable power sources, and new water technologies.
Second, the digital warfighter, namely improving the interoperability of different systems they have to use and not overwhelming the soldier with information; and
Third, cyber which is an ongoing battle that is currently being fought on multiple fronts. Investors should obviously keep their eyes open for opportunities in each of these areas.
Investors should obviously keep their eyes open for opportunities in each of these areas.
Investorideas.com: You also mentioned counter technologies.
SMS: Yes, thanks for bringing that back up. If we look back at the history of warfare, it's always been a concept of gaining an edge over ones enemies or adversaries. Whether better bows and arrow, catapults or more modern examples. The implementation of the tank in World War I was designed to disrupt trench warfare. Advances in guns and projectiles led to armor shielded vehicles which in turn led to anti-tank weapons. Planes led to anti-aircraft and radar technologies which in turn spawned the need for missiles which were faster and harder to shoot down. Satellite sensors and missile warning systems were then developed to prevent enemies from shooting down spy planes and identify the launch of missiles and rockets to provide more time to mount a proper defense. GPS enabled more precision targeting of expensive ordnance so technologies to jam and disrupt the signals were developed. IEDs were used to disrupt U.S. forces in Iraq so technologies were developed to counter whether V-shaped undercarriages of vehicles to divert the force from the explosion to improved armor and plating for vehicles. It's a cycle. Roughly every twenty years for more than a century, new technologies and systems are developed that change the way warfare is conducted. And these revolutions led to the development of counter technologies and counters to the counter. It essentially exists for every system and technology in play.
Investorideas.com: Thank you. Something for our readers to think about.

Biotech/Pharma Companies Targeting Pancreatic Cancer: (SBFM), (NLNK), (LLY), (CELG)

Point Roberts WA, New York, NY - February 19, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) Investorideas.com global news source covering leading sectors including biotech and pharma reports on companies in the sector targeting pancreatic cancer. Stocks mentioned include NewLink Genetics (NLNK), Sunshine Biopharma Inc. ( OTCBB: SBFM ), Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) and Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG).

Decision Resources ( http://www.decisionresources.com/ ),one of the world's leading research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that the pancreatic cancer therapy market will nearly double to $1.3 billion in 2022, owing to the launch and rapid uptake of three high-priced agents-Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG)/Taiho's Abraxane, Onconova Therapeutics/Baxter International/SymBio Pharmaceuticals' Estybon and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' MM-398 (a novel formulation of irinotecan). Even though these agents do not substantially improve the overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients, they will have a significant impact on current treatment.
The Pharmacor Pancreatic Cancer report also finds that significant commercial reward awaits developers of therapies that are more effective and better tolerated than the FOLFIRINOX regimen in this disease, as the need for efficacious, well-tolerated therapies will remain through 2022.
NewLink Genetics (NASDAQ:NLNK) has been of the top gainers for 2014,gaining over 90%.NewLink's portfolio includes biologic and small molecule immunotherapy product candidates intended to treat a wide range of oncology indications.
Their product, RAlgenpantucel-L is an investigational HyperAcute™ immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer. The product consists of 2 pancreatic cancer cell lines (HAPa-1 and HAPa-2) that have been genetically modified to express alpha-gal carbohydrates on cell surface molecules.1 Upon injection into the patient, the alpha-gal stimulates an immune response against pancreatic cancer-specific antigens in the tumor cell lines. The patient’s immune system then targets its own pancreatic cancer cells, destroying them.1 In the adjuvant setting, the immune response targets and eradicates residual tumor cells in conjunction with chemotherapy and chemoradiation.1,2.
Algenpantucel-L is currently being studied in combination with standard of care in two phase 3 trials:
Last fall the company reported greater than expected responses to follow-on chemotherapy after treatment with algenpantucel-L or tergenpumatucel-L HyperAcute immunotherapy. Three pancreatic cancer patients were followed for response to subsequent salvage chemotherapy treatment after progressing on algenpantucel-L therapy. All three patients experienced durable (12-36 months), complete responses.
Sunshine Biopharma Inc. ( OTCBB:SBFM ), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, recently announced that it is targeting pancreatic cancer as second indication for its leading compound, Adva-27a.
As previously announced, Adva-27a was found to be effective at killing Pancreatic Cancer Cells in vitro. Based on initial data, the company is now advancing research using Adva-27a for pancreatic cancer treatment.
The initial study, as reported in June 2013, was carried out in the very aggressive Pancreatic Cancer cell line, Panc-1. Adva-27a was able to kill these cells with an IC50 of less than 4 micromolar, a pharmacologically very favorable drug concentration.
Adva-27a is Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, a small molecule that has recently been shown to be effective at killing multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, small-cell lung cancer cells, uterine sarcoma cells and pancreatic cancer cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Adva-27a is currently in the IND-Enabling stage of development. The original U.S. patent covering Adva-27a was issued on August 7, 2012 under US patent number 8,236,935.
According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. in their recent report, "Eli Lilly's (NYSE:LLY) Gemzar (Gemcitabine) is the current gold standard of care for locally advanced and metastatic disease, with a dominance that is undisputed despite a median survival of less than 6 months and rate of one-year survival of around 18%, as stated by the new market research report on Pancreatic cancer drugs. Though the odds of survival are somewhat better in other forms of cancer, the rate of five-year survival for the most common form of pancreatic cancer, Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is less than 5%, with majority of patients surviving just a few months.

Mining Stock Alert: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Confirms U/G High Grades at Santa Elena 11.6m @ 5.83 gpt Au and 232.5 gpt Ag including 1.15m @ 21.7 gpt Au and 572 gpt Ag

Vancouver, British Columbia - February 17, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce results of further delineation underground drilling completed in Q4, 2013 at the Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Twenty two closely-spaced (est. 25 metres) underground drill holes, totaling 1,590 metres have been completed to better define underground resources and verify widths and grades for the first planned production stopes to be mined in 2014 (see table below and attached Figure). The results of all holes included in this news release will be part of a resource update scheduled to be completed in H2 2014.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng., President & COO stated; “This underground drill program was successful in confirming good continuity of the Main Mineralized Zone (MMZ) and high grades for the initial planned production stopes to be mined in 2014. Valuable information was also provided from this program to better define overall reserves and subsequent stope designs. We look forward to successfully transitioning from our current open pit heap leach operation to underground mining with a 3000 tonnes per day conventional mill by H2 2014.”
The drill program, with estimated 25 metre centres, confirmed the consistent continuity and geometry of the MMZ. Drill result reconciliation with previous wider-spaced (est. 50 metres) drilling in this area showed comparable widths and grades.
he most significant assay results from this underground drilling program are shown in the following table and interval widths are considered near-true thickness.
All sample analyses were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC.
Core hole SEUG-13-12 was abandoned before intersecting mineralization.
As Santa Elena progresses into an underground operation further delineation drilling will be completed in 2014 to continue to verify production stope reserves. As of January 31, 2014, approximately 2,730 meters of underground lateral development including ramp access, 675 metres of ore development, and 430 metres of raise development had been completed by an independent contractor. Approximately 35,000 tonnes of ore from underground development has been delivered to the leach pad for partial metal recoveries by leaching and will be reprocessed through the nearly completed CCD/Merrill Crowe mill. With the arrival of the Company’s underground production equipment in May 2014, test stoping is scheduled for late Q2 and early Q3 2014.
The Qualified Person under NI 43-101 for this News Release is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and Chief Operating Officer for SilverCrest Mines Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SVL)(NYSE MKT:SVLC)(NYSE Amex:SVLC) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years and cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au) for the open pit heap leach and underground mine. SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average annual rate of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold over the current reserve. Major expansion and construction of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is nearing completion and is expected to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine (open pit and underground) in 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State with stated resources nearing 200 million ounces of Ag equivalent.

Biotech News Alert: SUNSHINE BIOPHARMA (OTCQB: SBFM) BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF MOUSE XENOGRAFT MODELS FOR PANCREATIC CANCER TO ADVANCE Adva-27a AS A TREATMENT FOR THIS DEADLY FORM OF CANCER

Montreal, Quebec, Canada - February 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) Biopharma alert: Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, today announced that it has initiated the construction of mouse xenograft models for pancreatic cancer as part of the plans of positioning Adva-27a for clinical development for pancreatic cancer in parallel with multidrug resistant breast cancer. The work is being conducted in collaboration with Sunshine Biopharma’s parent company, Advanomics Corporation, the co-recipient of $1.45 million in research grants in Canada. As previously announced (see press release dated June 4, 2013), Adva-27a, a Topoisomerase II inhibitor, was found to be effective at destroying cells of the very aggressive pancreatic cancer cell line, Panc-1.

"Conducting tests in pancreatic cancer xenograft models is the next step in our preparations for doing parallel breast cancer and pancreatic cancer clinical trials of Adva-27a," said Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma. "Pancreatic cancer is an extremely aggressive form of cancer with essentially no effective treatment options available today. We are heartened by the prospects that Adva-27a could become an effective therapy for patients suffering this deadly form of cancer."
About Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer has an extremely poor prognosis. Most pancreatic cancer patients will die within one year of diagnosis. Cancer of the pancreas is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 45,220 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2013. Approximately 95% of pancreatic tumors are of the adenocarcinoma type, arising within the exocrine component of the pancreas where various digestive enzymes are produced. The remaining 5% arise from the islet cells and are classified as neuroendocrine tumors. The islet cells produce important hormones such as insulin, which regulates the sugar levels in the blood. Both types are very aggressive and respond poorly to standard chemotherapy drugs. In contrast to the downward trend in death rates for most major cancer types, death rates due to pancreatic cancer have been slowly increasing in the U.S. over the past decade. This, together with the lack effective therapy, underscores the need for major new drug development efforts to reverse these trends.
About Adva-27a
Adva-27a is Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, a small molecule that has recently been shown to be effective at killing multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, small-cell lung cancer cells, uterine sarcoma cells and pancreatic cancer cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Adva-27a is currently in the IND-Enabling stage of development. The original U.S. patent covering Adva-27a was issued on August 7, 2012 under U.S. patent number 8,236,935.
About Sunshine Biopharma Inc.
Sunshine Biopharma is an early stage pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. Sunshine Biopharma recently announced that it has initiated IND-Enabling studies for its lead antitumor compound, Adva-27a, which is currently targeted for multidrug resistant cancer.

Q&A Interview with CEO and President of Powerdyne International (OTCBB: PWDY); 2014 Roll-Out of Portable Energy Generation Products

New York, NY, Point Roberts WA - February 11, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news portal covering leading sectors, issues an exclusive Q&A with the Dale P. Euga, CEO and President of Powerdyne International, Inc. (OTCBB: PWDY), a company that manufactures portable power generation equipment . In a two- part series, Mr. Euga will discuss the 2014 roll- out of their PDIGenset to the portable energy generation market and its potential first commercial sale.

Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
For readers unfamiliar with your company and hearing about your technology for the first time, can you give us a brief summary of how it works and what the revenue model is based on ?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Our product is a large scale portable electric generator that is powered by a new type of engine. The savings a client receives from using our patent pending technology is approximately a third of their existing power bill. This can be a very significant savings.
The most critical technology we employ is in the engine which produces the operating efficiencies and characteristics. The engine and generator operating together produce electrical power very efficiently at a low operational cost using natural gas as the primary fuel. Unlike other prime movers in the industry, our Powerdyne engine is radial in design, small, powerful, light weight, air cooled, and easily serviced and maintained.
The Powerdyne business model is based on independent electric power generation on the client's site and providing independent base load power to supplement the power that the client draws from the grid. The power generated by the Powerdyne electrical power costs the client less than that drawn from the grid and thereby provides constant base load power at a substantial saving for the client. The difference between what it costs Powerdyne to produce the power, and what the client will pay Powerdyne for that power is the revenue stream for our business.
Q: Investorideas.com
Dale, last November the company announced it would perform an engineering survey for the installation of two of its PDIGensets at Silver City Aluminum Company, Taunton, MA. Can you give us the results and how that went?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
The initial study was completed on November 20 th which proposed locating the Powerdyne equipment on the right side of the building near the Nitrogen tanks. This plan was reviewed with the client and the plant engineer. All of the special conditions of the site and the electrical engineering were completed in that study. The difficulties identified in that study were workable. However it was suggested by the plant engineer that it might be more efficient and practical to consider a different location for the equipment. A second on-site meeting with the owner and the plant manager was held on December 5 th and after consideration of the details of that study, it was concluded that a different location would be more practical.
A second engineering study was completed on December 12 th which located the Powerdyne equipment further back toward the right rear of the building. This study incorporated most of the details and construction concerns of the previous study and installation costs were adjusted accordingly. This plan was accepted by the owner and also accepted by the plant engineer on January 6, 2014.
Q: Investorideas.com
If everything goes according to plan what is the potential model/framework of an agreement with a company like this?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
We are in the process of negotiating a formal agreement with our first client, Silver City Aluminum Company. We have been composing a memorandum of understanding with the owner which will identify the responsibilities of both parties, parameters of the work, and provide a schedule for production, delivery of equipment and commissioning of the Powerdyne units. This agreement will be also incorporated into the final terms and conditions of the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). It is anticipated that an agreement could be finalized before the end of January 2014.
Q: Investorideas.com
Have you mapped out a manufacturing plan if you receive commercial orders?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Yes. We have very serious interest from three other domestic businesses and we are prepared to act immediately. With the placement of an order from a qualified client, the PDIGenset can be manufactured, delivered, and commissioned within six months for a domestic client – same for foreign orders. Final delivery and commissioning are subject to foreign import tariffs and customs which are the sole responsibility of the client.
Q: Investorideas.com
What kind of other customers are you targeting and if the deal goes ahead with Silver City Aluminum Company, will it serve as a model for other potential customer?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
Target customers are commercial and manufacturing businesses that have a significant and constant electric power base load requirement. These primary target clients include hospitals, cold storage facilities, shopping malls, industrial fabrication, sewage treatment plants, and hotel and resort complexes. In addition, remote areas that are power deficient such as some Caribbean Islands are prime candidates for independent power stations.
Q: Investorideas.com
What are the most significant cost advantages and environmental benefits of your products ?
A: Mr. Dale P. Euga, CEO and President
The customer advantages are threefold. The most significant advantage is that the customer has zero capital outlay from to have the Powerdyne equipment manufactured and installed at his location. Secondly, the client should reap a significant cost savings (about 1/3) on the overall electric utility cost. And lastly, Powerdyne operates and maintains the equipment.

• Investorideas.com will issue a follow up interview as events materialize.

About Powerdyne International, Inc. ( OTCBB: PWDY )
Powerdyne International, Inc. (www.PowerdyneInternational.com) is a manufacturing company that builds and leases electrical generation equipment including its own portable electrical power generation equipment called PDIGenset (which is patent and trademark pending).
PDIGensets are designed to be installed at virtually any location. The genset is leased and maintained by PDI. Although the company's target customer will typically use its PDIGenset to produce its own primary electrical power, however, the genset is useful in any situation where reliable power is needed.
PDI is founded on the ability to produce primary electrical power using proprietary technology to power electrical generation equipment which makes electricity cheaper than existing means of producing primary electric power. PDI expects that the difference between its cost of generating electricity over its customer's current cost will result in substantial savings to the customer.

The Wocket™
Special Guest: David Tunnell, co-founder and chief architect
The world of wallets is about to change. New exciting technologies are making payments easier than ever. However, many credit card holders either do not possess a smartphone or will be reluctant to use their smartphone for mobile payments due to a variety of reasons.
Rather than depend on a potentially unreliable cell phone, NXT-ID introduces a truly next generation digital wallet: The Wocket™. This unique technology takes a very different approach: Instead of replacing the wallet, we are improving it! Our innovative Wocket™ reduces the number of cards in your wallet while supporting virtually every payment method currently available at Point-of-Sale (POS) at retailers around the world including magnetic stripe, EMV/NFC and barcode…all within a secure vault within your wallet.
Now you can use the wallet you know and love, but with The Wocket™ advanced secure electronic wallet technology from NXT-ID.

"Retailers Try to Keep Pace With Cybercriminals"
WSJ-Risk & Compliance Journal-Other companies are touting products they say are superior to--and less costly than–pin-and-chip technology.

Biometric Stock Alert: Get to Know The Wocket(TM), NXT-ID's (OTCQB: NXTD) Next Generation Biometrically Secure Smart Wallet; Consumer FAQ Released Prior to Launch

SHELTON, CT - February 7, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market, today announced the release of new product images and a consumer FAQ for Wocket™ which is set to launch this year. Wocket™ is a smart wallet much like the smart phone and smart watch. NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices.

Answering consumer question number one, "Why buy a Wocket™? ", the FAQ tells us "Wocket™ replaces all the cards in your wallet. Wocket™ keeps all your information private while reducing the number of cards you have to carry with you. Wocket™ is smartest wallet you will ever own."
Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID, membership, insurance, ticket, emergency, medical, business, contacts, coupon, and virtually any card can be protected on Wocket™. Up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and up to 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™ and more can be supported with optional additional memory.
In terms of personal security, Wocket™ can assure consumers that private information cannot be accessed or stolen. A combination of voice biometrics, personal PIN or pattern provides multi-factor security for your Wocket™. Wocket™ protects whatever information is stored in it so that it cannot be released to any other individual or device without the user's permission.
Addressing competition in the digital wallet market, NXT-ID notes in the FAQ; "Rather than replace a wallet as many 'digital wallet' technologies attempt to do, we chose to improve the wallet. Unlike other digital wallet solutions that depend on connectivity to choose a payment account, Wocket™ does not depend upon the cloud to select or make a payment."
Other product feature announcements are pending as the Wocket™ launch rolls out but some of the unique features include:
1. Anti-tamper: Wocket™ contains certain anti-tamper components to protect certain secrets used within dynamic pairing authentication and encryption key generation. For instance, these probe-proof parts destroy themselves if probing is attempted as well as protect against man-in-the-middle and other type interrogations.
2. Custom categories: Private information is stored as "softcards" on the Wocket™. These softcards can be grouped via category names customized by the owner so that they are accessible very quickly via an organization method that best suits the owner of the data.
3. Voice cards: Although organization of softcards via user-customized categories enables users to find data faster, the fastest and simplest interface possible is to simply ask for the card. Our voicematch™ algorithm not only enables the user to ask for the softcard, but it also authenticates the owner of the information as he or she speaks.
4. Light Pipe: Wocket™ utilizes a new innovative light pipe technology to provide outstanding visibility even in the darkest environment.
5. Low-Power: Wocket's™ low power features include one of the lowest power touch interfaces and voice processing solutions in the world, providing long-lasting battery life.
6. No charge needed: Unlike many other devices that require a recharge, not only does the Wocket™ provide long battery life, but Wocket™ utilizes replaceable CR-2032 batteries commonly found at any retail store."
The full product FAQ is available to consumers and media at http://www.thewocket.com/ and http://www.wocketwallet.com/.
Interested consumers can also sign up for product info and news alerts in anticipation of the product launch.
