Finline Awarded Second Data Compression Patent.Business Editors WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2000 Finline Technologies Ltd. (CDNX CDNX See Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX). :FIN) ("Finline" or the "Company") has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Patent Office for claims relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc Finline's "Method, Apparatus and System for Compressing Data" patent application filed December 31, 1998. The allowance relates to additional claims involving the use of colour spaces and broadens the scope of applicability of Finline's use of vectors and scalars in its "Impress" image compression Noun 1. image compression - the compression of graphics for storage or transmission compression - encoding information while reducing the bandwidth or bits required algorithm. Andrew Zador, Vice President of Technology, and inventor of the Impress technology said: "This second patent allows us to use our Impress wavelet compression in a variety of colour spaces and media. Printed colours do not compress the same as colours on a television, so different ways of handling colour within our Impress technology will open doors to colour film and printed formats. Also, by allowing more flexible ways of compressing colour, we will gain further compression advantages over other technologies aimed at MMDS (Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service or Microwave Multipoint Distribution Service) A digital wireless transmission system that works in the 2.2-2.4 GHz range. and broadcast video delivery, as well as still image compression and the coming HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates video format." "This is an exciting event and further secures Finline as a leader in wavelet compression development. The end result will be a stronger position for the Company in both the fixed wireless broadband arena and other markets to which our compression technology is applicable," said Einar Fiskvatn, President. Finline Technologies Ltd. is a designer and manufacturer of broadband wireless systems, focusing on MMDS "Wireless Cable" solutions for the broadcast of video, voice, and high speed internet services. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Finline has successfully deployed its systems and components worldwide to operators in fourteen countries on five continents.
