Echelon Corp. (ELON) Announces Partnership with ITOCHU and Mitsui for Street Lighting Control System Pilots in Japan

Echelon, the world’s leading open standard energy control networking company, announced several leading Japanese cities are now piloting street lighting management systems based on technology from Echelon after witnessing the company’s successful demonstration of intelligent street lighting control in the Japanese technology city of Tsukuba in 2011. The piloted systems are configured on the open ISO/IEC 14908 standard and implemented using Echelon’s Power Line Communications (PLC) transceivers and segment controllers. ITOCHU Corporation, an Echelon partner, has installed the second phase in the city of Tsukuba. This project was accomplished in cooperation with Panasonic and Toshiba, major Japanese lighting device manufacturers.

As Echelon’s master distributor in Japan, ITOCHU also collaborated with a new market entrant, Mitsui & Company, for two pilot sites. Mitsui has installed the systems in the city of Higashi Matsushima, part of the earthquake damaged region of Tohoku, and at the campus of Hiroshima City University in the city of Hiroshima. The deployed ISO 14908 based solution supports a variety of luminaires ranging from LEDs from Toshiba and GE to Ceramic Metal Halide lights from GS Yuasa. Implementation of street light management systems further lower energy use and reduce the cost of operating the street light infrastructure.

The change-out of High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps to dimmable LEDs is lowering per lamp electricity consumption by more than 50% or nearly 120Kg of CO2 per year, and is expected to save approximately $240/year in places like Hiroshima, where rising Japanese prices now make it comparable to high cost Asia-Pacific locations like Australia and the Philippines. The use of the new technology allows for the setting of dimming schedules, based on weather and traffic patterns, and delivers 20% to 30% of the savings relative to just shifting from HPS to LED. The system also increases public safety by allowing all pilot lamps to be monitored from a central city location so that failures can be identified and responded to quickly.

“In addition to reducing energy costs and maintenance costs, the use of a standards-based control system allows the cities to manage life cycle procurement costs by providing them with a choice of luminaires, an expense that is often more than 80% of the cost of the project,” commented Varun Nagaraj , Senior Vice President at Echelon Corporation. “We are excited to be partnering with ITOCHU and Mitsui – two of Japan’s leading solution providers – and look forward to larger roll-outs across these cities over the next few years.”

Frontier Communications Corp. (FTR) Unveils Buffalo named Frank

Yesterday it was announced that Frontier Communications has selected Francis Abraham Buffalo as the star of its newest ad campaign. An American Buffalo affectionately known as Frank beat out all others at auditions. The charismatic animal currently stands at 6 feet tall, measures 8 feet long, and weighs 2,000 pounds.

Cory Jones, Vice President of Marketing for Frontier, stated, “We wanted a spokesperson that could connect with customers and make them smile, and an iconic American Buffalo with a touch of attitude stole the show. We are confident that consumers will like Frank and enjoy his observations about life, technology and Frontier’s products and services. For example, our $19.99 broadband offer is an affordable, no-contract product with simple, clear terms. We wanted someone plain-spoken and truth-telling to talk about it and our other offerings. Frank fits the bill. He has no tolerance for surprises, bull or BS – the last defined in dictionary.com as `nonsense, lies or exaggeration’ – and we’re delighted he’s with Frontier.”
Frank will be showcased in Frontier Communication’s first all-new ad campaign. The campaign has excitingly been several years in the making. He will begin his debut by appearing in various promotions, including both digital and print media.

Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (DCIN) Leverages Digital Content Distribution Technology to Redefine the Movie Theater

The movie theater industry, like the motion picture industry, is going through a technological revolution. People are well aware of the rapidly growing use of computer generated imagery to make impossible images possible, together with the use of 3D, advanced sound developments, and other technologies to draw the viewer into the action. These are all part of a transformation in the motion picture industry. What is less known, but no less important, is a transformation taking place in the movie theater industry, led by companies like Digital Cinema Destinations, a rapidly growing New Jersey based operator of theaters currently in 6 states.

Digital Cinema Destinations, also known as Digiplex Destinations, is leveraging the ongoing movement to digital content distribution as an opportunity to redefine the role of the local movie theater, from simply a place to watch movies to a much broader digital entertainment environment, offering live sports events, concerts, conferences, operas, auctions, fashion shows, and even videogames. By applying an aggressive acquisition-based growth strategy, the company acquires and transforms existing operations, introducing new ways to drive business during the week, attract wider audiences (capitalizing on social media and targeted marketing), and provide immersive digital programming.

Digital Cinema already operates 178 screens in California, Arizona, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and has plans to continuously grow their national footprint. The company’s fiscal second quarter 2013 revenues recently came in at seven times that of the same quarter in fiscal 2012. In addition, Vista Partners recently announced initiation of coverage, targeting a price approximately 45% over current levels.

Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (HOTR) Sees Hungary as Portal to Europe

Chanticleer Holdings, part owner of Hooters of America (HOA) and a growing developer of iconic Hooters restaurants internationally, has a growth strategy based upon expanding the Hooters brand in emerging markets around the world through partnerships and/or acquisitions.

One of Chanticleer’s current focal points is Europe, and the company has already opened its first European Hooters in Budapest, Hungary. Chanticleer acquired franchise rights in Hungary in 2012, partnering with Alex Hemingway and his team, forming Crown Restaurants, with the goal of operating Hooters franchises in Europe, using Budapest Hungary as an operational headquarters and with Alex Hemingway as Director of Chanticleer Europe.

Hungary, an excellent base for Europe, has rapidly transformed itself from a centralized economy to a free market economy. With a population of roughly 10 million, a high literacy rate, along with heavy tourism and active foreign investment, Hungary is a portal to the transition economies of Eastern Europe. It fits with Chanticleer’s overall criteria for location selection:

• Strong local market dynamics and demographics
• Attractive leasehold economics
• Open territory or availability of experienced and well-capitalized restaurant operators

In particular, Alex Hemingway brings a highly successful track record in Central Europe’s quick-service-restaurant industry, including international executive management experience. He was President and Chief Executive of Central European Franchise Group from 1999-2005, owners and operators of the Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken brands in Hungary, as well as three local national brands. Both brands had the highest customer feedback scores in the region for YUM! Restaurants International. He also became the CEO of Central Europe’s largest restaurant company, Orient Rt., with over 130 operating units. Between the two companies, he had responsibility for over 180 units and 5,000 people. In addition, he founded and served as Director of the Fast Food Association of Hungary.

Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. (CXM) Looks to Future with Three-Stage Growth Plan

Cardium Therapeutics is a San Diego based health sciences and regenerative medicine company that has carefully diversified itself with a strategy designed to provide short-term, mid-term, and long-term growth and revenue. In so doing, they have successfully positioned themselves in several markets, much like a rocket with multiple stages timed for continuous acceleration.

Immediate revenue is provided through Cardium’s To Go Brands subsidiary, acquired in 2012, which markets and sells a growing portfolio of over 25 healthy lifestyle products, including nutraceutical powder mixes and supplements designed for both convenience and health of active lifestyle consumers. Their product line contains 100% natural antioxidant-rich drink mixes with organic ingredients, in convenient stick packs, designed to pour directly into a water bottle, mix packages for home use, and capsule-based dietary supplements. It’s a big and fast growing market, projected by some to top $200 billion over the next several years, and should continue to provide Cardium with an important source of revenue to support their other developments.

Further down the timeline, but not too far, is Excellagen, Cardium’s FDA-cleared wound treatment gel that has already been proven to significantly aid healing for many types of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers. The company is in the final commercialization stages for Excellagen, and has been awarded ISO certification to market and sell Excellagen in the U.S. The company has also advanced international registrations. The ease of use and effectiveness of this new treatment, together with the fact that it has broad application potential, bodes well for future revenue.

And finally there is Generx, an important DNA-based angiogenic growth factor therapeutic, designed to actively increase blood flow around the heart for the treatment of heart disease. The product is qualitatively different than traditional drugs for treating heart disease, drugs which only address the pain or future blockages. It is still under development, but Cardium has successfully initiated a phase 3 registration study, and has published important Generx findings in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy Methods.

Real Goods Solar, Inc. (RSOL) Provides Solar Power for Pennsylvania School

RGS Energy, the commercial and utility division of Real Goods Solar, announced that they will install 1.1 mw of solar power at Church Farm School in Exton, Pennsylvania, helping them save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in electric costs.

The $3.2 million operation was paid in part by a $1.19 million grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Not only does this operation seek to lower the costs of energy at the school, but it also helps lower the school’s greenhouse emissions. The remainder of the cost is funded through a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Smart Energy Capital (SEC).

“Church Farm School’s solar installation sets a standard for other schools and businesses to follow,” says RGS Energy General Manager Tim Seamans. “Solar energy is a truly cost effective way to reduce operating costs while reducing environmental impact.”

The head of the school sees more than one benefit to the installation.

“Our students have a real life laboratory to explore and learn more about their energy future,” said Head of School, The Reverend Edmund K. Sherrill. “That we reduce our energy costs along the way is an added bonus since it will redirect dollars spent on energy to our school’s mission that provides such a great education at little to no cost.”

The photovoltaic solar system, comprised of over 3,500 solar panels, is expected to produce nearly 1.5 million kWh of electricity per year. The clean power generated from the ground mount system, installed on five acres of school land, will supply approximately 75% of the school’s electrical needs and provide Church Farm students and faculty an on-site source of renewable energy and exposure to best practices in sustainability.

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MACK) Finishes Patient Enrollment in Phase 2 Study of MM-121

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company discovering, developing, and preparing to commercialize innovative drugs paired with companion diagnostics for the treatment of cancer. The company currently has six targeted therapeutic oncology candidates in clinical development.

The company announced today that the last patient has been enrolled in the second cohort of a randomized, three-cohort Phase II clinical trial of its MM-121 drug candidate in combination with erlotinib for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer patients. MM-121 has been developed together with Sanofi since 2009 and is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets ErbB3, a cell surface receptor implicated in tumor growth and survival.

This particular cohort – Group A – focuses on 133 patients with EGFR wild-type tumors and is part of the overall Phase II that focuses on three separate population of patients. This cohort was designed to see if MM-121 in combination with erlotinib is more effective than treatment with erlotinib alone. The patients in this group have the EGFR wild-type tumors with recurring or progressive disease following at least one chemotherapy-containing regimen and have not received prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Results from this group are expected to be reported in the second half of 2013.

The second cohort – Group B – includes patients whose tumors contain an EGFR mutation and have not received prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. Enrollment for Group B is ongoing. The third cohort – Group C – includes patients that were previously treated with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor and progressed on that therapy. Results for this group were reported in April 2013.

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC) Doubles-Down On Chinese Steel, Opens New Hub on Border with Mongolia to Source Supply

India Globalization Capital, which is diversified into related mining, materials, infrastructure, and logistics areas via its family of 100%-owned subsidiaries, reported good news today out of their HK Ironman unit (which owns 95% of Linxi HeFei Economic & Trade Co., Ltd., aka PRC Ironman) that runs an iron ore beneficiation plant on 0.85 square miles of hills outside Chifeng, with ore deposits in the neighborhood of 3M tons, as a new and key shipping hub has been established by the company on the Mongolia-China border.

CEO of the Bethesda, Maryland-based IGC, Ram Mukunda, looked back with pride on six strenuous months of planning, negotiations, and prep work culminating in today’s announcement and noted how the company was already putting their new limb to the test with a 300 ton shipment. Mukunda projected a rapid up-scaling of throughput after this test delivery is completed in the next week or so, with a leading target set between 8k and 12k tons per month, a considerable beefing-up of the company’s overall throughout capacity.

This new hub is part of IGC’s long-term strategic growth plan and will serve from an ideal location, the vital role of both a sourcing point for the company’s beneficiation plants and an output node for the many, many iron ore customers IGC has access to in China. A total portrait of this new capacity shows how the ideally-positioned hub can not only deliver a variety of grades of ore, but do so expeditiously and from sourcing points which were virtually nonexistent only a handful of years ago.

Looking back to around 2008, at the time when PRC Ironman was founded, there were almost no real sources of iron ore exports in Mongolia. The meteoric rise since then by IGC, driven by strong demand for iron ore, has mirrored the expansion of resource production capacity in Mongolia, with some 5.75M tons coming out of the country last year, up a whopping 61% over 2011 alone (according to top regional investment analysis firm Mongolia Asset Management).

Even now, the demand from Chinese steel producers for quality iron ore is immense and IGC is intent on capturing the premium profitability metrics here by continuing to open up Mongolia as a resource supplier. This shipping hub is a necessary piece of the puzzle for IGC’s long-term delivery and refining aspirations, investors will want to keep an eye on the company in the next few weeks for more news about the hub once the initial test shipment is finished.

FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI) is “One to Watch”

FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing patented Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging products to improve patient management by evaluating cardiac disease at the cellular and molecular levels. The company is currently advancing four different imaging agents to fulfill multiple critical unmet medical needs while providing clinicians important tools for detecting and assessing pathology before critical manifestations of disease.

According to GAI, the market for molecular imaging agents currently exceeds $1.7 billion annually and promises rapid growth for the foreseeable future. With one in three patients dying because of heart disease, FluoroPharma’s cardiovascular program addresses the largest segment of the nuclear medicine market. In fact, every three seconds a U.S. patient is injected with a drug FluoroPharma’s products target, providing considerable opportunity for rapid growth and profitability.

Unlike traditional imaging modalities – MRI, CT, and Ultrasound – that reveal the anatomical abnormalities and cause for disease, PET provides insight into physiology and can detect disease non-invasively before anatomical manifestation is identified by offering visualization of biological processes at the molecular and cellular level. Featuring higher resolution scans with only a third of the radiation dose, as well as higher levels of reimbursement, PET has become the preferred imaging technology for a variety of diseases and disorders.

FluoroPharma’s comprehensive technology platform promises to help the medical community diagnose disease more accurately at the earliest stages, leading to more effective treatment and better patient outcomes. To date, the company has been issued patents related to its portfolio of imaging compounds in the United States, Europe, China, Japan, Canada, Australia, Finland, Portugal, Ireland, and Mexico. With a solid and experienced management team in place and the necessary resources to advance clinical development, FluoroPharma is well positioned to capitalize on its superior imaging technology.

Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMPE) Announces Enrollment Completion for Run-In SPRING Study of Ampion in Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Development-stage biopharmaceutical company Ampio Pharmaceuticals announced it has completed patient enrollment for a dose-escalation run-in study to a Phase III pivotal trial evaluating Ampion for the treatment of moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. It is anticipated that 12-week primary endpoint data will be available in the third quarter of 2013.

Ampion is being evaluated in the SPRING trial for its pain-reducing effect as a single intra-articular injection into the knee in 4 mL and 10 mL volumes, as compared with placebo at 12 weeks. More than the targeted 320 patients have been enrolled in the study, which is part of the U.S. development program for Ampion. The study was designed as a run-in to a Phase III pivotal trial, which the company will initiate as soon as the optimal volume is determined and the proposed pivotal trial is properly powered to meet its scientific objectives.

Ampio set very stringent site criteria to optimize the rate of enrollment in SPRING, and the company is pleased with the speed at which patient enrollment was completed. The company believes this trial can potentially show the inadequacies of current therapeutics in meeting the needs of osteoarthritis sufferers.

Ampion, the product being studied, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory biologic with the potential to be utilized in a wide variety of inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. Ampion is protected by composition of matter, use, and synthetic form patents. Active ingredient aspartyl-alanyl diketopiperazine, or DA-DKP, is derived from two amino acids from human albumin and appears to have a significant role in the homeostasis of inflammation. The company has published various studies and articles about the anti-inflammatory activity of DA-DKP.

Curis, Inc. (CRIS) Receives Conditional Approval Recommendation for Erivedge from CHMP

Oncology-focused company Curis announced today that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended conditional approval of Erivedge (vismodegib) for treating adult patients with symptomatic metastatic basal cell carcinoma, or locally advanced basal cell carcinoma that is not appropriate for surgery or radiotherapy. Receiving conditional approval would make Erivedge Europe’s first licensed treatment for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma, which is a rare form of skin cancer that can be disfiguring, debilitating, and even fatal.

“We are extremely pleased that the CHMP has recommended the conditional approval of Erivedge in the EU and we hope that this important medicine will soon be available to patients in Europe,” said Curis CEO Dan Passeri. “We continue to be pleased by the strength of Roche’s global regulatory and commercialization efforts regarding Erivedge, which we anticipate will significantly broaden patient access to Erivedge globally. Erivedge is currently under review for approval by health authorities in several countries outside of Europe, and regulatory submissions are planned in many additional countries. We view Roche’s broad efforts to expand patient access to Erivedge as a testament to its commitment to this important, first-in-class molecule.”

Possessing the authority to approve medicines for use in the European Union, the European Commission generally delivers final decisions within three months of the CHMP recommendation. The final decision will apply to all 27 member states of the EU. A conditional approval from the European Commission would mean a $6 million milestone payment for Curis from Genentech, which is a member of the Roche Group. The Roche Group is responsible for the commercialization of Erivedge in the EU.

Based on quality, safety, and submitted efficacy data, the CHMP stated it considers there to be a favorable benefit-to-risk balance for Erivedge and, therefore, recommended the granting of marketing authorization, which is conditional and will require submission of additional data from ongoing studies. The CHMP grants conditional approval for medicinal products that fulfill an unmet medical need.

Real Goods Solar, Inc. (RSOL) to Power 18 California Schools

RGS Energy, the commercial and utility division of Real Goods Solar, will provide 18 schools and facilities in California’s Stockton Unified School District Area with 5.1 megawatts (MW) of solar-based power that will bring clean energy to those buildings. The installations are expected to save the district over $600,000 in the first year, with those savings hoping to help the district in other important areas.

The agreement will allow the district to pay less for energy costs over the next 25 years, per the power purchase agreement with RGS Energy and Smart Energy Capital (SEC). The environmental benefits are not to be ignored, with the equivalent of 1,000 cars being removed from the road, due to the absence of carbon dioxide emissions from conventional lighting and power methods.

“Going solar provides an exceptional real-world learning opportunity by reducing energy costs to free up funds that can be used to improve educational facilities and launch new learning programs for students,” said SUSD Superintendent Dr. Steve Lowder. “We are proud to invest in renewable energy and set an example of environmental leadership.”

RGS Energy, which has operations centers in numerous states, including California, will be responsible for construction, maintenance and monitoring of the systems.

“We have successfully deployed solar energy systems at many schools and academic institutions and are always impressed by the great value proposition that solar brings to the educational sector in particular,” said Real Goods Solar CEO, Kam Mofid.

Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (OCLS) Receives Regulatory Approvals for Three New Microcyn-Based Products in the Middle East

Global healthcare company Oculus Innovative Sciences has announced two new regulatory approvals in Kuwait, Iraq, and Dubai for three new Microcyn-based consumer products. The three products – all of which are targeted to be launched in fall 2013 – are Face Cool, which is a hydrogel for treating acne and various dermatoses; Baby Cool, which is a hydrogel for treating baby rash; and Lady Cool, which is a feminine hygiene wash.

Oculus is pleased to broaden its product portfolio to include consumer products in these key Middle East countries. The company’s original Microcyn-based advanced wound management products have received acclaim from healthcare institutions throughout the region – many of which have reported a substantial decline in healthcare costs as a result of reduced infections, antibiotics, and hospitalization days. The data indicating these cost savings was used to support the regulatory filings for these latest consumer products.

“We are looking forward to the commercialization of these new and unique products this coming fall through our Dubai-based Microsafe Care Management subsidiary,” said Dr. Walid Yousef, vice president of Joseph & Gionis, which is Oculus’ master distributor in the Middle East.

Occulus, a worldwide healthcare company, is engaged in designing, manufacturing, and marketing prescription and nonprescription products in more than 20 countries. Oculus’ products are used to treat patients in surgical/advanced wound management, dermatology, women’s health, and animal health to address unmet medical needs in these markets – simultaneously raising the bar in patient care and lowering overall healthcare costs. Headquartered in Petaluma, Calif., Oculus has manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Latin America.

VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (VSTA) Turns a Billion Dollar Problem into a One-Of-A-Kind Opportunity

The strategy of VistaGen Therapeutics, a California based stem-cell technology company, is primed to drive rapid growth because of its unique structure. VistaGen is a developer of stem-cell based bioassay early-warning systems for determining possible toxicity of drug candidates. It provides a distinctive way of determining potential drug toxicity well before the time and expense involved in performing animal or human trials.

The history of the pharmaceutical industry is one littered with drug candidates that were developed, and sometimes even released to the public, only to discover later that there were heart or liver toxicity issues. These drugs were then often shelved, resulting in a massive loss of invested time and money for the pharmaceutical company involved. For drug companies around the world it’s a major problem. However, for VistaGen it represents a major opportunity.

VistaGen’s plan is to use their proprietary Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube stem cell based platform, a novel bioassay system that provides toxicity testing right in the laboratory, to build a portfolio of drug rescue variants from once-promising but discontinued drug candidates. Considering the fact that development costs for a new drug can easily exceed $1 billion, VistaGen sees these shelved drugs as a veritable diamond mine which it now has the means to tap. It’s like having someone run a 20-mile marathon for you, and then letting you step in near the end to cross the finish line.

Specifically, VistaGen believes each lead drug rescue variant will have the potential to be a viable new drug candidate in which VistaGen can have significant economic participation rights, such as up-front and development milestone payments and royalties on commercial sales. Its valuable technology also sets the company up as a potential takeover target.

American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (AQQ) Awarded Large Self-Storage Property Management Portfolio

American Spectrum Realty, a real estate investment, management, and leasing company headquartered in Houston, Texas, announced recently that American Spectrum Self-Storage management, LLC, a subsidiary of the company, has been named the property management company of 19 self-storage properties.

These properties will now be marketed under the trademark name 1st American Storage.

Consisting of 19 self-storage properties, the new self-storage management portfolio totals over 1.3 million square feet and 11,000 units across seven states. With the addition of this assignment, the company’s self-storage management portfolio consists of 42 self-storage properties totaling 2.9 million square feet. Of those, 66% reside in Texas, making American Spectrum one of the largest self-storage management companies in Houston, Texas. The company’s current infrastructure is such that the additional properties will not significantly increase G&A expenses, allowing a large portion of the new management fees to contribute directly to net income.

“We feel that we are uniquely suited to serve the needs of this self-storage portfolio. Our specific experience managing similar properties and the size of our portfolio – specifically in Texas – is a natural fit for a seamless transition,” said CEO William Carden. “We are honored to be awarded this management assignment and look forward to implementing some positive changes to achieve the same success we’ve experienced with our current storage portfolio.”

In January 2010, American Spectrum assumed the property management of a similar self-storage portfolio. A detailed evaluation of each property revealed apparent operational and financial struggles. American Spectrum was able to lower operating costs, increase occupancy, and dramatically improve net operating income, despite a down economy, through extensive staff training, streamlined operations, and aggressive marketing. The portfolio saw a 28% increase in occupancy, a 13% growth in revenue, and a 22% improvement in NOI over a two year period. As such, American Spectrum saw a significant increase to its portfolio value during this time period and was able to restore distributions to the owners.

With a proven track record of success, American Spectrum has delivered above market results to clients year after year. American Spectrum’s vast experience and market insight provides a strategic, proactive, long term solution to investment and operational challenges.

Quantum Fuel Systems (QTWW) Receives Recommendation from California Energy Commission for Advanced Natural Gas Fuel System and Engine Development

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, a leader in natural gas storage systems, integration, and vehicle system technologies, announced today that its proposal in response to the Program Opportunity Notice entitled “Advanced Natural Gas Engine Research and Development for Class 3 through Class 7 Applications” has received a notification of recommendation for a $1 million grant award from the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Public Interest Energy Research Program. In addition, Southern California Gas has also dedicated supplementary funding to assist the project in meeting its technical benchmarks.

Specifically, the grant will fund the development and validation of a multi-port fuel injected natural-gas fuel system and engine with cutting edge controls that can be fabricated at a low price point, for use in Class 3 to Class 7 fleet applications such as buses, medium-duty trucks, and port freight-handling vehicles. Power Solutions International, Inc. (PSI) will be partnering with Quantum on this forward thinking project. PSI is a prominent cleantech engine manufacturer. Quantum will also partner with technology and strategy consultancy, Ricardo, and the University of California, Riverside. PSI’s new 8.8-liter engine will serve as the base engine for the project, which is targeting a 20% improvement in fuel economy, as well as a 16% gain in power density for the natural gas version. Achieving these goals will serve to meet an urgent market demand for advanced natural gas options for medium duty applications.

“We are excited and honored to have been selected by the California Energy Commission and to be working with PSI and Ricardo, proven leaders in their respective fields,” said Brian Olson , CEO and President of Quantum. “We are pleased to leverage our decades of experience in developing natural gas fuel systems and fill a need in the industry that is in short supply of natural gas engines for the high growth medium duty market segment.”

“We thank CEC for funding the development of clean-energy answers to America’s transportation issues,” said Gary Winemaster, CEO of PSI. “This project addresses the number one market barrier for natural-gas vehicles—the high price differential of natural-gas engines, by offering fleet owners a lighter, more efficient 8-liter class option at a lower cost than anything commercially available today.”

The company’s podium presentation, “Effect of an Anti-Inflammatory-Mydriatic Agent on the Incidence of Intraoperative Miosis During IOL Replacement Surgery,” will summarize key analyses of Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical data assessing OMS302’s ability to reduce the incidence of miosis (pupil constricting) during intraoperative lens replacement surgery. These analyses will be included in both the company’s U.S. and European marketing applications for OMS302. The data will be presented by Omeros Vice President of Clinical Development and Chief Medical Officer Steve Whitaker, M.D. on April 21 at 3:27 p.m. PDT in the Intraocular Surgery/Medications Session.

Being developed for use during intraocular lens replacement (ILR), including cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange, OMS302 is a proprietary combination of the mydriatic (pupil dilating) agent phenylephrine and the anti-inflammatory agent ketorolac. OMS302 is added to standard irrigation solution used in ILR procedures and delivered within the eye to maintain intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), to prevent surgically induced miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative pain and irritation. Maintaining mydriasis is critical to the safety and surgical ease of the procedure. Intraoperative pupil constriction increases injury risk to intraocular structures and can greatly prolong surgical time.

Recently, Omeros completed its successful OMS302 Phase 3 clinical program and plans to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA this quarter, as well as a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency in mid-2013.

Assaf Katan Appointed Acting CEO at Alvarion Ltd. (ALVR)

Yesterday, optimized broadband wireless solutions provider Alvarion announced that Assaf Katan has been appointed as Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

“I am honored by the trust that the board of directors has placed in me. While I recognize the challenges that Alvarion is facing, I believe that the current turnaround plan we are executing has put Alvarion back on a growth trajectory and we are already seeing the first fruits of these efforts. We remain committed to the traditional vertical markets we have excelled in such as security, smart cities and WISPs, as well as expanding our presence in the carrier Wi-Fi market,” said Mr. Katan. “I look forward to closely working with the board of directors and especially Alvarion’s management team on successfully completing this turnaround.”

Mr. Katan has been with Alvarion since 2010, first as part of the corporate development team, then transitioning to Corporate Vice President, Strategy & Business Development. Mr. Katan has been involved in the company’s major strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Wavion Ltd. in November 2011. This move expanded Alvarion’s technology portfolio to include carrier Wi-Fi; the turnaround plan, launched in mid-2012, included a comprehensive review of Alvarion’s sales and marketing efforts and a decision to focus the business on vertical and carrier-grade Wi-Fi markets.

Prior to Alvarion, Mr. Katan served as Vice President, Marketing and Business Development at Media Layers, a privately held company engaged in the mobile advertising space. He also held various marketing and business development positions at Comverse, where he aided in initiating and leading the company’s entry into the mobile content domain. Mr. Katan was also a Team Leader at Shaldor Strategic Consulting, a leading management consulting firm in Israel. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Business Administration from the University of Tel Aviv, Israel.

Amnon Yacoby, Alvarion’s Chairman of the Board, remarked, “We are pleased that Assaf accepted the Board’s request to lead Alvarion, as we believe he is the right person for the job at this time. Assaf brings to the role extensive industry experience, and as part of the management team, he knows the company, its corporate culture and the challenges it faces very well. Assaf has been intimately involved with formulating and executing the company’s turnaround plan over the past year. We are confident that under his leadership, the company will continue with the execution of the turnaround plan, focusing attention and resources on the company’s core target markets — vertical and Wi-Fi markets.”

ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd. (CCIH) Begins Partnership with China Tietong

On April 22, ChinaCache International Holdings announced that it has established a strategic partnership with China Tietong Telecommunications Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Mobile Communications Corporation. The partnership will see the companies developing a content delivery network in China for Tietong.

ChinaCache is focused on providing content for telecom carriers, major non-carriers, and local Internet service providers, with ChinaCache working as a carrier-neutral service provider. State-owned telecommunications operator China Tietong provides xDSL, xPON, and fixed-line telephone services with their nationwide backbone network, and is the third largest fixed-line Internet service provider in China. Tietong was bought by China Mobile Communications Corporation and became its wholly-owned subsidiary in 2008.

The two companies will combine resources to produce a content delivery network, with ChinaCache supplying technical support, customer care, marketing, and professional services support. China Tietong will in turn deploy servers and other hardware to build the content delivery network infrastructure while operating the network with the assistance of ChinaCache.

Song Wang, CEO of ChinaCache, said, “We are delighted to partner with China Tietong on this exciting initiative, which we believe is the first of its kind in the industry. Under this agreement, we will embed our leading CDN technologies into China Tietong’s nationwide network to help improve end-user experience. We are pleased to be able to contribute our substantial experience and industry-leading technologies and we look forward to potentially extending international expansion opportunities through this important partnership with China Tietong. We will continue to seek various types of strategic partnerships with carriers that benefit both parties, as well as millions of Internet users.”

Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (HOTR) Looks to Brazil

Chanticleer Holdings, part owner of Hooters of America (HOA), the operator and franchisor of the iconic Hooters restaurants throughout the U.S. and internationally, has rights to develop and operate Hooters restaurants in several countries around the world. In addition to operations in Europe, South Africa, and Australia, Chanticleer also has franchise rights to develop parts of Brazil. Brazil, South America’s biggest economy, represents the newest opportunity.

It surprises some to find out that Brazil’s economy is right up there with the UK’s and France, and is currently listed as the world’s seventh biggest economy. Due partly to the growth of Asia, with a corresponding demand for Brazilian iron and agricultural commodities, the Brazilian middle class has swelled, with millions of Brazilians rising from what had been a massive underclass. Governmental actions to reduce taxes and cut interest rates have also helped spur spending and growth, and unemployment is now at a 10-year low. Although growth rates have leveled off to more sustainable levels than seen during the earlier boom, Brazil is clearly one of the world’s emerging big players, with a major developing consumer base of nearly 200 million. Notably, the country will also be hosting the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.

For Chanticleer, this growing foundation of consumer wealth represents a great opportunity for exploring opportunities to establish a foothold with Hooters. It fits the company’s territory selection criteria, seeking locations with strong local market dynamics and compelling demographics, such as Rio de Janeiro. The strategy is to partner with highly experienced and well capitalized restaurant operators in the local international market. Worldwide, Chanticleer believes it can grow to have more than 75 Hooters locations, independent of the company’s interest in HOA with its 412 restaurants in 28 countries.
