UNISYS TO USE ACSYS FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEM IN HOMELAND SECURITY SOLUTIONS.

Nexus Group International Inc.'s (TSE:NXS) AcSys Biometrics Corp., the provider of the only face recognition system powered by biomimetic technology, and Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS), a worldwide information services and technology company, have signed an agreement for AcSys Biometrics to provide engineering support and technology components to Unisys.

As part of its Homeland Security Solutions initiative, Unisys is partnering with leading biometric technology companies like AcSys Biometrics to develop and deliver tools to accurately identify individuals as a way to control access to physical environments and information systems.

As part of an ongoing R&D project with the U.S. Department of Defense, Unisys will be integrating AcSys Biometrics' solutions into an integrated positive access control solution.

"Unisys has extensive experience integrating biometric technology and deploying identification solutions that range from passports, driver's licenses, and voter registration cards to facilities and network access," said Ed Schaffner, director, Positive Identification and Access Control Solutions, Unisys. "With this agreement, we can effectively deliver AcSys Facial Recognition System (FRS) to government agencies in areas such as homeland security, intelligence, immigration and law enforcement, and airport and airline security."

AcSys Biometrics is the leading provider of face recognition technology based on the worldwide-patented Holographic/Quantum Neural Technology (HNeT).

FRS is a unique, patented face recognition technology that uses biomimetics -- a technology that mimics the analytical processes of the human mind by modeling the neural structure of the brain down to individual neural cell types, rather than relying on measurements for recognition.

AcSys FRS is designed to recognize human faces in multiple applications under challenging environmental conditions. It is the only biometric capable of multiple recognition -- recognizing up to four individuals simultaneously from a single camera. Furthermore, because AcSys FRS uses HNeT technology, it is uniquely able to learn.

With this ability, every time it recognizes an individual it updates its memory, thus accommodating gradual changes in physical appearance over time. AcSys FRS does not need to keep photographs or images of individuals in its memory in order for recognition, but rather stores information extracted from the stream of pictures needed to describe the individual in its neural net cell.

As a result, it does not invade privacy and instead protects privacy and identity.

"AcSys Biometrics is delighted to have Unisys commitment to our technology," said Jerry Janik, president and CEO, AcSys Biometrics Corp. "This agreement with an industry services partner such as Unisys further underscores AcSys' growing acceptance as an industry leader in the facial recognition biometric market. We feel most confident that our team will provide Unisys with the caliber of professionalism and excellence of quality that their clients demand."

AcSys Biometrics is a joint venture between NEXUS Group International Inc. and AND Corporation, the owner and developer of the patented, proprietary Holographic/Quantum Neural Technology (HNeT).
