Symyx Technologies and Stargate Mobile Announce Plans to Deliver Symyx Sensors to the Commercial Vehicle Market; Symyx to Develop First Real-time Oil Condition Sensor for Commercial Vehicles.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. & GRAND BLANC, Mich. -- Symyx Technologies Symyx Technologies NASDAQ: SMMX is a pioneer in the area of combinatorial chemistry applied to heterogeneous catalysis and homogeneous catalysis, polymer formulations, electronic and magnetic materials. (Nasdaq:SMMX) and Stargate Mobile today announced an agreement to provide an onboard telematics package containing Symyx Sensors for oil condition monitoring Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery, such that a significant change is indicative of a developing failure. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. . The product is targeted for introduction in mid-2007. Symyx will develop, supply and license its innovative oil condition sensor to Stargate Mobile to be marketed and sold by Stargate exclusively in the field of commercial vehicles. The Symyx oil condition sensor would allow commercial vehicle owners and fleet managers to use data from real time, in-situ sensors to assess the quality and condition of engine oil in their fleets. The use of such sensors can provide significant cost and time savings over traditionally scheduled, time-based maintenance for the upkeep of commercial vehicles. Stargate Mobile develops and delivers mobile solutions, including telematics (wireless communication) and mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings devices, to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and upfitters who customize commercial vehicles for both small and large businesses. Stargate Mobile is the exclusive provider of the mobile office solution "FORDLINK(TM)", for the Ford Motor Company. "The use of Symyx Sensors can provide a tremendous advantage in accurately monitoring the condition and quality of motor oil to optimize and stay ahead of maintenance needs," stated Isy Goldwasser
Danziger Goldwasser (German: Gold water of Danzig , President of Symyx Technologies. "We are the first to offer this solution to the marketplace and we look forward to continuing our work with Stargate Mobile to deliver pioneering solutions that benefit the commercial vehicle market." "In the commercial vehicle market, finding the most cost efficient way to maintain a high level of performance and reliability is critical to keeping up with customer demands," stated John Cooper John Cooper can refer to:
Lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of management assures better vehicle performance, as oil condition can vary greatly based on environmental conditions. Sensor-equipped vehicles will reduce the cost of ownership and minimize the consumption of natural resources by allowing operators to maximize the useful life of their engine oil. Symyx Sensors were developed for use within Symyx Technologies' internal research programs. Symyx's patented tuning fork technology, developed as a single-sensor platform, has direct application for providing real-time, in-situ measurements and monitoring of the viscosity, density, and dielectric constant dielectric constant n.
