Stemco Introduces BAT RF -- An Innovative New Line of Technology Products That Reduce Cost and Improve Safety

- HandBAT RF(TM) - Handheld RF reader to collect and display wireless
data.

The BAT RF system provides a number of potential benefits to fleet
customers, including, efficient gathering and accurate reporting of mileage
and air pressure; reduced expense from on-road tire failures; increased fuel
economy and improved vehicle safety as a result of proper tire inflation; and
easy, accurate access to vehicle mileage information.

EnPro
Industries is a leader in the manufacture of sealing technologies and
engineered products for use in critical applications by industries worldwide. By
providing a laptop-based solution that has advanced battery, backup and
wireless capability, the Genographic Project team will bring the gathering
component of their worldwide expeditions into the 21st century.

PRESS RELEASE IBM Transforms the Art of Scientific Expeditions

The
systems are being deployed on six continents to scientists from prominent
international institutions charged with conducting genetic field research. Once the
genetic samples have been sequenced at the corresponding local laboratory,
this same solution can then receive the electronic sample output, merge it
with the associated cultural or phenotypic data gathered in the field, and
securely transmit it for final analysis at the Genographic Project 's
central database half a world away.

Stemco's BAT RF products use advanced sensor technologies and radio frequency
identification (RFID) to collect and communicate critical data on vehicle
condition and maintenance.
With offices and manufacturing facilities in Longview, Texas, Stemco is a
leader in the technology and manufacture of heavy-duty truck and trailer wheel
end products.

The two organizations are furthering their understanding of human
diversity, roots and linkages, through the use of leading edge technology
to collect and study genetic, anthropological, and linguistic data from
fast dwindling indigenous populations worldwide and from the general
public.

batrf. It 's designed so that dozens of languages and regions
are acknowledged while cross populating other fields with related data,
making collecting for a group of people in the same region much faster and
more accurate.

The team is helping to deal with the challenges of intermittent
connectivity in remote locations of the world as well as security to
protect the identity of the sample donors and the integrity of the data.

The modular product suite includes:

- AirBAT RF(TM)- Tire pressure monitor providing instant visual reading
of air pressure and transfer of the data by radio frequency.
- TracBAT RF(TM) - Electronic mileage counter capable of communicating
vehicle mileage data wirelessly via RF channels. "IBM is helping to greatly advance and
expedite quality sampling while providing our Project investigators and
indigenous groups themselves peace of mind that the information they are
gathering is securely stored and protected.

"The task of gathering genetic and associated data into a combined format
that is usable by scientists and researchers remains daunting in its
complexity," said Ajay Royyuru, Senior Manager, IBM Computational Biology
Center.

The systems are composed of T42 Thinkpad laptops loaded with a data
gathering application designed by IBM and the Genographic Project's
principal investigators and custom-built by IBM's emerging technologies
team.
Once the sample information is collected and inputted it is automatically
assigned a unique, random Genographic Project I.

The field collection technology is revolutionizing the Genographic
geneticists ' ability to collect, manage, store and securely transmit
background data on sample participants in every corner of the globe. Research sites around the world are being equipped with specialized
software to help researchers collect genetic data in remote locations and
synchronize it with the master data repository. "Bringing scientific expeditions into the modern era is an example
of IBM's core value of driving innovation that matters to the world.

IBM and National Geographic further point out that while aspects of
scientific expeditions, such as transportation, telecommunications, and
medical care, have kept pace with the times, most chronicling of
observations in the field are relegated to paper and pen or pencil.

The deployed system has the flexibility to accommodate new data inputs as
they arise while integrating advanced communication tools enabling
real-time collaboration among the Genographic scientific team. Further,
this same secure system can also then be used in the principal
investigators' labs, eliminating time-consuming and error-prone transfers
of information from paper to electronic analytic systems.

IBM today said it has begun deploying new
customized data gathering software technologies as part of its contribution
to the Genographic Project, a landmark five year study in partnership with
the National Geographic Society, to gather and analyze the largest number
of human DNA samples to map how the earth was populated.

"This is a giant leap forward for field expeditions everywhere," said Dr.
Spencer Wells, Genographic Project Director and an Explorer -in-Residence at
National Geographic Society.
