BAY CITY, Mich. and TORONTO, May 11, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- UgoMedia Interactive Corp. (Pink Sheets:UGMI) (name change to Sciax Corporation pending) announced today that Richard Wolf GmbH, the Company's distribution partner in Germany, is further strengthening their commitment to sales of the Sciax Wolf Pack system with attendance at GPEC, the 3rd International Exhibition and Conference for Police and Special Equipment in Leipzig, Germany.
"We consider GPEC an important event with potential for broad international exposure to Wolf Pack, particularly in the European market," stated Ken Smart, founder and President of Sciax. He added, "Sciax values our long-term relationship with Richard Wolf and we are very happy that our friends there share our enthusiasm not just for Wolf Pack, but for the great synergies between our collective product offerings." Wolf Pack design allows the integration of Richard Wolf endoscopes as modular components, contributing to the comprehensive visual intelligence gathering capability of the system.
Richard Wolf GmbH is a leading global supplier of industrial and medical endoscope systems. Endoscopes, also called borescopes, fiberscopes or videoprobes, are used in remote visual inspection applications by a variety of security and industrial users. In industry, endoscopes are used primarily by aerospace, oil and gas, manufacturing, and power generation companies. Endoscopes enable users to visually inspect hidden or inaccessible areas in circumstances where viewing with the unaided eye would be difficult or impossible. The opto-electronic technology used in industrial endoscopes is very similar to that of medical instruments which are increasingly employed in diagnostic procedures and minimally invasive surgery. Endoscopes have several security applications where they are useful in conducting contraband searches, covert surveillance, and physical security operations. Traditional industrial markets employ endoscopes in research and development, maintenance, and quality control environments.
The Sciax Wolf Pack(TM) is a highly modularized opto-electronic remote viewing system used by law enforcement and military personnel. The reconfigurable, multi-operational design of Wolf Pack makes the system ideal for many applications in physical security, drug and contraband interdiction, tactical response and protective security. Wolf Pack electronics and optical components are built to high standards of durability, allowing successful deployment in harsh conditions that would prohibit the use of many conventional imaging systems.
