Flexpoint Sensor Systems Begins Engineering Technology for Government Supplier
DRAPER, Utah--May 1, 20048, 2004--Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:FLXT) today announced they engineered and built a prototype floor mat that integrates the Bend Sensor(R) technology to analyze traffic in and out of secured locations.Flexpoint has reached an agreement with a provider of security to government agencies to build a floor mat capable of detecting people and equipment prior to entering and leaving secured rooms and facilities. The mat is capable of detecting levels of traffic, weight, and speed of people and equipment moving over the surface. The actual location and full intentions of the mat remain classified to Flexpoint.
CEO of Flexpoint, John Sindt, commented, "Over the last 60-70 days we have contacted and informed many of our previous clients and industry leaders about the full scope and potential of the Bend Sensor technology. We have received dozens of inquires for products and applications where the use of the Bend Sensor is either a far better answer or innovative solution. The floor mat, with pin point accuracy, can gather valuable data for security personnel including traffic though the entryway, the direction of traffic, the type of item traveled over the area, and the speed, etc. The potential behind this can be expanded to use in many industries."
Mr. Sindt continued, "Flexpoint will continue to work in conjunction with government security providers to develop technologies for use in the security industry. We expect to announce contracts and funding during the third quarter from these relationships."
Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. has developed and patented the Bend Sensor(R) technology. The Bend Sensor is a technological breakthrough that offers a superior solution for applications that require accurate measurement and sensing of deflection, acceleration and range of motion. Global market opportunities include automotive, medical, industrial controls, government, health and fitness, security, computer, aerospace, transportation and consumer products.
