GS CleanTech Executes Agreement with Ethanol Producer to Extract Corn Oil for Conversion into Biodiesel 7/31/2006
NEW YORK, Jul 31, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GS CleanTech Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSCT) today announced its execution of a definitive agreement with an ethanol producer to extract about 1.2 million gallons per year of crude corn oil from the producer's distillers dried grains for conversion into a biodiesel feedstock using GS CleanTech's proprietary corn oil extraction technology.
GS CleanTech's pricing model for its corn oil extraction technology is based on GS CleanTech's provision of turn-key extraction systems for no up-front cost in return for long-term agreements to purchase the extracted corn oil based on a fixed discount to prevailing fuel prices.
Under the terms of the agreement, GS CleanTech expects to generate an estimated $1.4 million to $1.8 million in annualized revenues by purchasing and selling the ethanol facility's extracted corn oil as a biodiesel feedstock.
"Our patent-pending Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM) have been specifically engineered to help ethanol producers enhance production and increase revenues out of their existing crop in cost-effective and rapid ways," said David Winsness, GS CleanTech's president and chief operating officer.
GS CleanTech's Focus on Ethanol Production
GS CleanTech is currently focused on delivering its technologies and process innovations to the Ethanol Production Industry with a view towards maximizing the yield of corn-based ethanol production.
Traditional ethanol processing converts each bushel of corn, which weighs about 54 pounds, into about 18 pounds of ethanol, 18 pounds of carbon dioxide, and 18 pounds of distillers dried grains (DDG), which contain about 2 pounds of fat. This corresponds to a corn to clean fuel conversion efficiency of about 33%, or about 2.8 gallons of clean fuel per bushel of corn. GS CleanTech's ambition is to increase this efficiency as much as possible.
GS CleanTech's patent-pending corn oil extraction and biodiesel processing technologies convert the fat in the DDG into a high grade corn oil that can then be converted into biodiesel on close to a 1:1 volumetric basis. This increases the corn to clean fuel conversion efficiency described above to 36%, or about 3.0 gallons of clean fuel per bushel of corn.
Winsness added: "The increased yield per bushel may not seem like much, but it adds up. Our corn oil extraction program allows a typical 50 million gallon per year ethanol production facility to increase their revenues by about 3.5%. That works out to as much as $4.7 million in additional annualized sales. We are very excited by the new agreement with the ethanol facility and, with many more systems in our hard sales pipeline, we look forward to increased opportunities to help ethanol producers and their communities maximize their fuel yield out of their existing crops."
One Kernel to Two Fuels with GS CleanTech's Corn Oil Extraction Systems(TM)
Currently, the majority of ethanol production is based on a dry milling technique that utilizes more than 1 billion bushels of corn to produce 3 billion gallons per year of ethanol (Fuel #1). The dry mill process converts the starch from the kernel of corn into sugar and then the sugar into ethanol. The balance of the corn (non-starch components) then goes through a dewatering and dehydration process where the byproduct is sold as a commercial feed ingredient called distillers dried grain. DDG contains the majority of the corn oil that was present in the kernel. Today, the 1 billion bushels of corn currently used in the dry mill ethanol process contain roughly 300 million gallons of corn oil that is currently sold for about $0.035 per pound as commercial feed. GS CleanTech's corn oil extraction technology presents another option - cost effective conversion into biodiesel (Fuel #2).
GS CleanTech's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM) offers the following compelling benefits for ethanol producers:
-- Increased Revenue - The corn oil extracted is readily amenable to refining into biodiesel fuel which creates a new revenue stream for participating ethanol facilities;
-- Reduced Operating Costs and Emissions - Corn oil removal can improve drying efficiency by more than 10% with reduced natural gas or coal needs and reduced emissions (NOx, SOx, VOC, and CO2);
-- Low Operating Costs - The system requires less than $0.05 per gallon of corn oil produced;
-- High Recovery Rates - The technology is capable of recovering up to 75% of the corn oil within the DDG; and,
-- Increased Inclusion Rates - Corn oil removal can improve defatted DDG marketability and inclusion rates by reducing fat content.
Pictures and video of the GS CleanTech's corn oil extraction technology are available online at http://www.veridium.com/cornoil.php - this system is in use today and efficiently recovers corn oil from concentrated thin stillage.

IMNR (.0215)Receives Approval for Expansion of Phase II Trial in France for Investigative HIV Immunotherapy IR103 Aug 1, 2006 7:00:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2006
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2006--
The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB:IMNR) announced today the receipt of approvals to expand its Phase II IR103 study in drug-naive HIV patients to include clinical sites in France. The trial, which is currently ongoing at several sites in Italy, will examine IR103, a second-generation immunotherapy, as a first-line treatment for drug-naive HIV-infected individuals not yet recommended for antiretroviral therapy according to current medical guidelines. Ultimately, more than 200 drug-naive patients will be enrolled in two parallel clinical studies being conducted in France and Italy, Canada and the UK.
"We are very pleased to have obtained regulatory approval to expand our IR103 study into France," said Georgia Theofan, Ph.D., Vice President of Clinical Development of The Immune Response Corporation. "The enrollment of additional patients in Europe will allow us to generate important data on IR103's role in stabilizing CD4+ cell counts in HIV drug-naive patients."
The study, which includes a rollover patient population from a previous clinical study of the Company's first generation immunotherapy, REMUNE(R), is designed to assess the safety and ability of various doses of IR103 to induce HIV-specific immunity. The trial will also measure changes in CD4+ counts, a critical marker of HIV disease progression that is used, along with viral load, to determine when a patient should begin antiretroviral therapy. The Company believes an immune-based therapy that stabilizes CD4+ counts could be used to delay initiation of antiretroviral therapy and serve as an important advance in the treatment of HIV. A total of 31 returning and 54 new patients have been enrolled in Italy in the first stage of the study, and enrollment of additional Italian patients in the second stage, in which the French sites will also participate, is already in progress.
For more information about enrolling in this trial please contact The Immune Response Corporation at 760-431-7080 in the United States.
About IR103
More than 25 million people have died since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was first recognized in 1981 (source: UNAIDS, December 2005), and the new infection rate continues to grow at an alarming rate. Despite medical advances, the worldwide pandemic continues to claim more than 3.1 million lives each year (source: UNAIDS, December 2005). Additional safe and effective treatments are desperately needed.
IR103 is a second-generation HIV immunotherapy based on the Company's patented, whole-inactivated virus technology, which was co-invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and indicated to be safe and immunogenic in extensive clinical studies of REMUNE(R), the Company's first generation HIV product candidate. Preclinical research and recent clinical data show that IR103 is a more potent formulation that combines its whole-inactivated antigen with a synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR-9) agonist to create enhanced HIV-specific immune responses. This product differs from currently available antiretroviral drug therapies since it is designed to stimulate an HIV-infected individual's immune system to fight the virus.
About The Immune Response Corporation
The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB:IMNR) is an immuno-pharmaceutical Company focused on developing products to treat autoimmune and infectious diseases. The Company's lead immune-based therapeutic product candidates are NeuroVax(TM) for the treatment of MS and IR103 for the treatment of HIV infection. Both of these therapies are in Phase II clinical development and are designed to stimulate pathogen-specific immune responses aimed at slowing or halting the rate of disease progression.
NeuroVax(TM), which is based on the Company's patented T-cell receptor (TCR) peptide technology, has shown potential clinical value in the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). NeuroVax(TM) has been shown to stimulate strong, disease-specific cell-mediated immunity in nearly all patients treated and appears to work by enhancing levels of FOXP3+ Treg cells that are able to down regulate the activity of pathogenic T-cells that cause MS. Increasing scientific findings have associated diminished levels of FOXP3+ Treg cell responses with the pathogenesis and progression of MS and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis and Crohn's disease. In addition to MS, the Company has open Investigational New Drug Applications (IND) with the FDA for clinical evaluation of TCR peptide-based immune-based therapies for RA and psoriasis.
IR103 is based on the Company's patented, whole-inactivated virus technology, co-invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and indicated to be safe and immunogenic in extensive clinical studies of REMUNE(R), the Company's first generation HIV product candidate. IR103 is a more potent formulation that combines its whole-inactivated antigen with a synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR-9) agonist to create enhanced HIV-specific immune responses. The Company is currently testing IR103 in two Phase II clinical studies as a first-line treatment for drug-naive HIV-infected individuals not yet eligible for antiretroviral therapy according to current medical guidelines.
NeuroVax(TM) and IR103 are in clinical development by The Immune Response Corporation and are not approved by any regulatory agencies in any country at this time. Please visit The Immune Response Corporation at www.imnr.com.
This news release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often signaled by forms of words such as should, could, will, might, plan, projection, forecast, expect, guidance, potential and developing. Actual results could vary materially from those expected due to a variety of risk factors, including whether the Company will continue as a going concern and successfully raise proceeds from financing activities sufficient to fund operations and additional clinical trials of NeuroVax(TM) or IR103, the uncertainty of successful completion of any such clinical trials, the fact that the Company has not succeeded in commercializing any drug, the risk that NeuroVax(TM) or IR103 might not prove to be effective as either a therapeutic or preventive vaccine, whether future trials will be conducted and whether the results of such trials will coincide with the results of NeuroVax(TM) or IR103 in preclinical trials and/or earlier clinical trials. A more extensive set of risks is set forth in The Immune Response Corporation's SEC filings including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and its subsequent Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q.

Rotoblock Signs $5 Million Development Contract With Brazilian Automaker; OBVIO ! of Rio de Janeiro Signs Development and License Agreement to Incorporate OPE Technology Into Hybrid Drive Train
Business Wire via COMTEX
Aug 1, 2006 8:00:29 AM
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug 01, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Automotive technology firm Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB:ROTB) has signed a development and license agreement with Brazilian automotive company OBVIO ! for the development and incorporation of a more compact Oscillating Piston Engine into the OBVIO ! 828, 012 and subsequent models.
OBVIO ! has agreed to license Rotoblock's technology for the Oscillating Piston Engine (OPE) in exchange for US$5,000,000 (Five million US Dollars), paid through a royalty agreement on each unit sold. Rotoblock would receive additional royalties after terms of the initial agreement have been met. OBVIO ! is in the process of manufacturing two microcars powered by traditional internal combustion engines and OBVIO ! officials are interested in the OPE's ability to be incorporated into an ethanol hybrid drive train projected for production.
"The business plan laid out for Rotoblock was to develop the Oscillating Piston Engine to a point where we could start generating revenue by licensing the technology," said Rotoblock President Matthias R. Heinze. "Our new venture with OBVIO ! has allowed us to reach this milestone."
Rotoblock says that the second generation of the OPE was constructed as a test model and would necessitate joint efforts with OBVIO ! to develop a more compact engine suitable for hybrid applications.
"The third generation OPE would be lightweight and compact enough for hybrid applications," said OBVIO ! President Ricardo Machado. "Its small size opens the engine compartment to the availability of additional battery space. We think the result will be a microsports car with a lot of muscle and the fact that the OPE can also use ethanol makes the engine the ideal candidate."
OBVIO ! calls its unique automotive designs microcars, small enough to park two to a normal parking space, or short enough to back into parallel parking spot. Bench seating allows room for three adult passengers. i-Mobile would supply an on-board multi-function computer, providing personal computing, GPS satellite navigation, satradio, Internet, e-mail and multimedia functions. Enhanced safety for the microsport cars uses an innovative elliptical ring structural design derived from aeronautical crash management technology.

XLPI (.012) Exceeds Revenue Goal for 2nd Quarter of 2006 Aug 1, 2006 1:19:00 PM
SALUDA, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/01/06 -- XcelPlus International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: XLPI), a manufacturing and marketing company specializing in alternative fuel technologies, today announced 2nd quarter revenues for FY 2006.
Revenues for the 2nd quarter, which closed on June 30th, 2006, increased to $300K, a significant increase over revenues for the previous quarter. According to Mr. Kevin Whited, Sales Director for XcelPlus, the increase is due primarily to marketing efforts focused on the Flextek conversion kit. The Flextek is a kit that converts gasoline fueled vehicles into flex-fuel vehicles capable of running on E85 ethanol, gasoline, or any blend of the 2 fuels.
"We see these revenues as a very positive sign and we fully expect the positive results seen in our 2nd quarter to continue throughout our 3rd and 4th quarters," said Mr. Bill R. Smith, President of XcelPlus. "During our shareholder conference call we announced a 2nd quarter revenue goal of $250K. Exceeding that goal gives us confidence that we will meet or exceed our 3rd quarter goal of $1 million in revenue. Our print and radio advertising campaign has only just begun and we will be airing television broadcast commercials in the near future.
"We are also increasing our lobbying efforts, as public and political acceptance of E85 helps expand our markets. Just yesterday Governor George Pataki of New York signed legislation designed to make it easier for New York service station owners to offer E85 ethanol to their customers, and we fully expect other states to follow suit and make E85 readily available to consumers."
Governor Pataki signed Senate bill 8124/Assembly bill 11,868 into law at a service station owned by a dealer who expects to have an E85 pump installed before Thanksgiving. The signing of the New York bill comes just one week after Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's endorsement of the Flextek conversion system and E85 ethanol.
About XcelPlus International:
XcelPlus International Inc. manufactures and markets E85 Conversion Systems, Ethanol Fuel Products, and Specialty Chemicals which enable the growth of the ethanol market, while providing consumers with a viable means of using newly developed clean energy technologies.

EGLF--.18--ELEMENT 21 GOLF COMPANY USA and Russia Get Together for Historic Golf Lesson -- Element 21 Golf Company's Reports On Cosmonauts' Successful Training With Hall Of Fame Member Carol Mann and the Director of Instruction for The PGA of America, Rick Martino 8/1/2006
TORONTO, Aug 01, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Element 21 Golf Company ("E21") (OTCBB: EGLF) reported today on Russian Cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin's golf lesson held last Thursday in Houston and conducted by World Golf Hall of Fame member Carol Mann and Rick Martino of The PGA of America.
NASA's engineers have extensively examined the golf experiment, independently from the Russian Space Agency that designed and approved the golf shot experiment in 2004. NASA approval came in July of 2006, after full evaluation of the golf ball flight path and a statistical "launch safety cone," ensuring correct orbital path of the golf ball that otherwise could endanger external power and mechanical systems of the International Space Station (ISS). All models of the golf shot in space proved to be completely safe. The golf lessons on Earth and training in simulated low gravity conditions of underwater laboratories promise to ensure the launch of the longest golf shot ever.
Mr. Tyurin was given a rigorous 1 hour lesson by Ms. Mann and Mr. Martino at the South Shore Harbour Country Club. Several factors were taken into consideration during the preparation of the lesson by Ms. Mann and Mr. Martino including the fact that Cosmonaut Tyurin will be swinging in zero gravity, he will be wearing a space suit and that he will be tethered to the Space Station during the historic launching of a golf ball into orbit around the earth this coming November.
"Mr. Tyurin is a great student and a quick learner," commented Hall of Fame member Carol Mann. "Having played professional golf for many years and having taught students from all walks of life, I found it most interesting preparing for Mr. Tyurin's lesson. It is fascinating to be a part of something that transcends golf's traditional boundaries and will no doubt become a historical event."
Following the lesson Mr. Tyurin was presented with a PGA of America pin by Mr. Martino. In turn Ms. Mann was given the gold plated E21 6 iron that Mr. Tyurin used during the lesson. This club will be presented by Ms. Mann to the World Golf Hall of Fame for exhibit at the museum, which is located in St. Augustine, Florida. The 6 iron is one of only five such clubs made by E21 for this historic event. One of the irons is currently on the International Space Station.
"It was a pleasure representing The PGA of America's 16,000 members at this exciting event," commented Mr. Martino. "The PGA of America would like to thank E21 for its efforts in bringing this ground breaking event to the world. Golf is now becoming such a global sport. This event will only help accelerate the growth of our great sport while helping to bring both space and science down to earth. After our lesson had ended, Mr. Tyurin couldn't stop hitting balls. He asked me for a copy of The PGA Manual of Golf to take into space and study during his voyage. He said that upon his return to Earth he has plans to become a golfer."
During her Hall of Fame career Carol Mann won 38 golf tournaments on the LPGA Tour, including the US Open in 1965. In 1968, she won 10 times and won the Vare Trophy with a then-record 72.04 scoring average. Ms. Mann was also one of the most influential Presidents of the LPGA serving from 1973 to 1976. For the Women's Sports Foundation Ms. Mann served as President from 1985-1990. Based in Houston, Ms. Mann is also a top ranked golf teacher hosting students and groups at The Woodlands C.C. in The Woodlands, Texas. She is a Member Ambassador for the World Golf Hall of Fame, playing an instrumental role in the Hall's member relations and exhibit activities.
Rick Martino is Director of Instruction for The PGA of America. He teaches at The PGA Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and is ranked among the Top 50 instructors by Golf Digest Magazine and Top 100 of GOLF Magazine. Mr. Martino is also author of The PGA Manual of Golf. His public instruction can be viewed on pga.com. Rick also appears on the TNT broadcasts of The PGA Championship, the next being from Medinah CC near Chicago on August 17-20 2006.
This Wednesday Ms. Mann and Mr. Martino will be interviewed on the "Clubhouse Radio Show," hosted by Brian Crowell PGA Head Professional at Leewood CC in Eastchester, NY. The "Clubhouse Radio Show" is simulcast on WGCH AM 1490 and WLIE AM 540 and is aired every Wednesday during prime time between 6:00 and 7:00 pm EST and can be heard by going to www.wgch.com. The show is broadcast to the heart of the US financial community. This broadcast and last week's interview with Mann and Martino will be available on the E21 website shortly.
Film footage of the lesson will also be available from E21 shortly.
About Element 21 Golf Company and the ISS-14 Eagle One Golf Mission in November 2006:
E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using proprietary E21 Alloys. Through a sophisticated multi-technology production path E21 manufactures shafts, drivers, and other clubs with marked improvements in distance, accuracy and feel over competing products. In recent months a number of high profile golf professionals have switched to or began testing E21's Eagle One shafts. E21 Alloys are 55% lighter and offer 25% strength to weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf equipment industry. The advanced dynamics of E21 Alloys and the material economics offer a performance-enhanced alternative to manufacturing driver clubs with Titanium, the largest segment of the annual 4 billion dollar golf equipment marketplace.
E21 recently announced its "Golf Shot Around the World Mission" in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Alan B. Shepard Jr.'s historic Apollo 14 Mission. Just about every single record for distance in the golf industry will be shattered this fall when an astronaut will hit a golf ball into orbit around the earth -- using an E21 golf club. It is only natural that this event takes place on the International Space Station, considering that E21 Alloys are also used on the Space Station in high strength, fatigue resistant applications.
On July 11, 2006 a Flight Safety Certificate was signed by Mr. Michael T. Suffredini of NASA for jettisoning a golf ball into orbit around the earth during a Russian Extravehicular Activity (EVA) this November. The International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 14 crew of Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria (NASA) http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/lopez-al.html and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin (FSA) http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/turin.html will be trained for this program in the Hydro Lab (EVA simulation) at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center located in Star City, outside of Moscow, Russia from July 31 to August 8.
