    The use of HyperKernel with Windows NT-embedded allows users to develop
real-time applications for systems with no hard disk or other rotating media,
as well as headless and keyboard-less systems.  HyperKernel is used in
discrete and process control to empower Windows NT for factory floor control
applications.  In addition, HyperKernel is used in various industries for
real-time applications such as telecommunications, CNC, aircraft simulation,
machine design testing, conveyor control, and product sorting.
    NT-Embedded support has been incorporated across Nematron's suite of
industrial automation software, including OpenControl for machine control and
Paragon for HMI and SCADA applications.  The company is also set to release a
new line of Intel embedded computers to support both Windows NT-Embedded and
Windows CE.
    Nematron Corporation has been setting the standard in PC-based control
since the birth of the industry.  Nematron is the only company that can
provide a complete and proven PC-based control solution, with customers in
nearly every manufacturing industry.  For additional information, visit our
