May 16, 2012—Balqon Corporation (<a href="http://www.ir-site.com/balqon/index.asp" rel="external" target="_blank">OTCBB: BLQN</a>), a developer of electric vehicles, drive systems and lithium battery storage devices, has received a $630,000 contract from the Port of Los Angeles ("POLA") to retrofit six electric powered yard tractors, converting battery packs from lead acid batteries to higher energy density lithium batteries to increase the daily range of the vehicles. For the past eight months, Balqon and POLA have been jointly testing two yard tractors fitted with Balqon's next generation lithium battery system at a local intermodal facility. <br> <br> "This contract to upgrade six extended range yard tractors to POLA's demonstration fleet will allow us to showcase our current technologies to local marine terminals, warehouses and rail yards" said Mr. Balwinder Samra, CEO of Balqon Corporation. "The past eight months of testing demonstrated that the vehicles retrofitted with lithium battery systems have an increased range of 12-14 hours on a single charge, and these results now need to be validated at other application settings such as marine terminals and rail yards." "Being the only manufacturer of zero emissions yard tractors in the world, providing additional units to POLA provides us with the ability to introduce our technologies to a larger customer base in the San Pedro Basin region", he added. <br> <br> In 2009, Balqon delivered 14 Nautilus XE20 electric yard tractors equipped with lead acid batteries to POLA under an agreement between Balqon and the City of Los Angeles. The limited range of the vehicles equipped with lower energy density lead acid batteries led to the development of an extended range lithium battery powered electric yard tractor, Model XR E20. <br> <br> The Nautilus XR E20 is a longer-range version of the XE20 and features the latest in lithium battery technology, allowing customers to perform two shift operations before having to recharge. The Nautilus XR E20 also features an increased charge rate, allowing customers to charge during breaks and shift changes. The vehicle fully recharges in less than two and a half hours. <br> <br> Since 2011, Balqon has shipped Nautilus XR E20s to its customers in automotive, defense and steel industries. In addition, last year Balqon released the European version of the Nautilus XR E20 that was developed in collaboration with Balqon's European manufacturing partner, MOL Industries. <br> <br> Over 2,000 yard tractors are in service at the San Pedro Bay and are the single largest cargo handling source of particulate matter, contributing 150 tons or 61% of particulate matter, and NOx emissions at the ports. In addition to zero emissions, the XR E20 also provides up to 74% lower operating costs than conventional diesel vehicles, making it an economic zero emissions solution for heavy-duty off-highway applications. <br> <br> About Port of Los Angles <br> The Port of Los Angeles (<a href="http://www.portoflosangeles.org/" rel="external" target="_blank">http://www.portoflosangeles.org/</a>) is America's premier port and has strong commitment to developing innovative strategic and sustainable operations that benefits the economy as well as the quality of life for the region and the nation it serves.

But action has always spoken louder than words. While many companies only promote their "green" images in front of microphones, others are actually leaving a legacy with their hard work and research. Magnolia Solar, Inc. <a href="http://www.magnoliasolar.com/news/index.php" rel="external" target="_blank">(MGLT: OTC BB)</a>, a small cap founded in 2008 and trading at $0.06 per share, is a shining example of the latter. The company's thin film solar cells offer a substantially lower cost potential than crystalline solar cells, use less expensive materials, and apply proprietary nano-micro technologies that allow for dramatic improvements in solar cell efficiency. <br> <br> Don't let the scientific jargon scare you away. Nanotechnology is simply the science of the incredibly small. Without it, the fields of solar technology, medicine, and robotics, to name just three, would be making significantly less headway. According to the International Energy Agency, world electricity demand is projected to increase by 2.2 percent each year between 2008 and 2035. So, while many still choose to argue about the causes of climate change or who exactly killed the electric car, MGLT is keeping its proverbial nose to the grindstone. <br> <br> Let's take a brief look back at their <a href="http://www.magnoliasolar.com/in_the_news/index.html" rel="external" target="_blank">achievements</a> so far. <br> <br> -In March 2010, the up-and-coming solar company received attention from several broadcast outlets including Channel 10 in Albany, New York and the FOX News Channel. <br> <br> -In late 2010, the company merged with publicly-traded Mobilis Relocation Service Holdings Inc., and the entity became the publicly-traded Magnolia Solar Corp. <br> <br> -Also in late 2010, the company won a $1 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to work with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in developing their tech at the University of Albany in New York. <br> <br> -In May 2011, the Woburn-based small cap received a $100,000 grant to develop solar power technologies for NASA exploration and science missions. MGLT said the Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research is for technologies that would increase the power output of advanced photovoltaic systems used by NASA. "Future space exploration and earth science missions will require lightweight photovoltaic power systems capable of operating over a wide range of conditions," said Dr. Roger Welser, Magnolia's chief technical officer, in a statement announcing the grant. <br> <br> -On Aug. 23, 2011, Magnolia Solar said it demonstrated high-voltage solar cells that use Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs). These cells overcome the problem of reduced photon absorption in typical thin-film cells by using a patent-pending quantum well waveguide structure to trap scattered light inside the solar cells . The company plans to develop the technology for defense and space operations and to develop a similar technology for the more common Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) photovoltaic market. The InGaAs cells are more expensive since they use some of the same high-cost compounds in Gallium Arsenide-based photo-voltaics . These are intended for the defense and space industries, according to Magnolia Solar CEO Dr. Ashok K. Sood. Space cells are also intended for the best solar conditions, and their production capacity falls off quickly as the sun wanes or is obscured. "What we're trying to do is get optimum efficiency all day long," Sood said. <br> <br> Since then, MGLT has been making the rounds. The company's team spent the latter part of 2011 presenting at the NASA SPRAT Conference, the 4th Annual NanoRenewable Energy Summit Conference in Colorado, and the Advanced Energy Conference in Buffalo, NY. This forward momentum suggests that Magnolia Solar Inc. will be just as busy and fruitful in 2012. For everyone's sake, if you're going to go "green" on your investments, MGLT seems like a good place to start. <br> <br> Full disclaimer disclosure. <br> <a href="http://tomorrowsbluechips.com/disclaimer/" rel="external" target="_blank">http://tomorrowsbluechips.com/disclaimer/</a> <br> <br> Seraphim Strategies <br> Lou Levenstein <br> 727.489.9939 <br> <a href="http://www.seraphimstrategies.com" rel="external" target="_blank">www.seraphimstrategies.com</a> <br> <a href="http://www.tomorrowsbluechips.com" rel="external" target="_blank">www.tomorrowsbluechips.com</a> <br> <br> Forward-Looking Statements <br> This release contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning our business and possible or assumed future results of operations.

The one MWh battery storage system installed at UCR is one of the largest battery storage systems installed by Balqon and includes lithium batteries and Balqon's proprietary components, such as Balqon's 160 kilo Watt ("kW") battery charger, Balqon's 240 kW flux vector inverter, Balqon's battery management system and related power electronics components. <br> <br> "The six month development period for our battery storage system that is now operational at UCR certainly tested the limits of our inverter and charger technologies. The development period has been an educationally rewarding process for us and has expanded our interest in addressing opportunities in the lithium battery energy storage market. We are using the technologies developed during the UCR project to address other lithium battery storage opportunities related to cell towers and solar and wind energy systems" said Balwinder Samra, Chief Executive Officer of Balqon Corporation. "The use of battery storage systems for peak-shaving applications, where batteries are charged during off-peak hours and the energy stored during that time is used during peak hours, may be an economically viable solution for large commercial buildings and educational institutions," Samra added. <br> <br> In January, 2012, the Center for Environmental Research and Technology at the Bourns College of Engineering at UCR received a $2 million award for a two-year project, supported by the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("AQMD") and involving a number of public and private partners, to build solar arrays, advanced battery storage, vehicle charging stations, an electric trolley, and a grid management system to provide clean energy to clean vehicles efficiently. The installation of Balqon's energy storage system is part this larger project at UCR. Reza Abbaschian, dean of the Bourns College of Engineering at UCR, stated that this larger "project will allow us to help the City of Riverside make a huge leap toward in realizing its Green Action Plan." "Our research capabilities, combined with the expertise and resources of our industry and municipal agency partners, promises to provide clean, renewable energy solutions in the years ahead," Abbaschian added. "We're pleased that AQMD recognized the benefits of this project," said Reza Abbaschian. "This is yet another example of our commitment to smart-grid energy solutions that integrate solar energy generation, battery storage, and distribution that are at the core of the mission of CE-CERT and our new Winston Chung Global Energy Center," he added. <br> <br> The Winston Chung Global Energy Center is a new venture funded by Balqon's Chairman of the Board, Chinese inventor, entrepreneur and Fellow of Bourns College at UCR, Winston Chung. Chung's company, Winston Global Energy, will donate 2-megawatts of rare earth lithium-ion batteries for the project. Balqon, will assist in the conversion of the trolley and in the installation of a additional battery storage, charging and distribution system similar to 1.1-megawatt battery storage system installed by Balqon at the Bourns College of Engineering at UCR. <br> About University of California, Riverside <br> The University of California, Riverside (<a href="http://www.ucr.edu" rel="external" target="_blank">www.ucr.edu</a>) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world.

The 2011 tax year is Adviatech's eighth fiscal year. <br> <br> /EINPresswire.com/Tampa, FL - The company that owns popular <a href="http://www.seolawfirm.com/" rel="external" target="_blank">law firm marketing</a> brands like SEO | Law Firm - Legal Marketing, Law Firm Newswire, and <a href="http://www.seolawfirm.com/blf-magazine/" rel="external" target="_blank">Bigger Law Firm magazine</a> announced the completion of the company's best fiscal year in history. <br> <br> Among the company's holdings not related to <a href="http://www.seolawfirm.com/" rel="external" target="_blank">lawyer marketing</a> are ReadytoQuote.com, the insurance marketing arm of Adviatech and the soon to launch news service, Newsbark. <br> <br> Much of tax year 2011's growth came from the company's attorney-focused services. <br> <br> Compared to tax year 2010, fiscal year 2011 showed a revenue increase of 28.8 percent and a profit increase of 39.6 percent. Adviatech has completed 7 out of 8 fiscal years showing a profit. Every year from 2006-2011 has closed profitable for the company. <br> <br> The profit comes on top of drastic increases in spending on internal projects and programs that are to be released later in 2012. Also, in 2011, Adviatech put together a benefits package for full time and qualifying part time employees which provides medical, dental, life and disability coverage, as well as paid vacations, paid sick days, paid volunteering, and retirement contribution matching. The company hopes to expand these benefits in 2012 to provide more comprehensive coverage for employees' dependents. <br> <br> Adviatech Corp. filed an amendment with the Florida Department of State authorizing 25,000,000 shares of common stock on March 20, 2012. The officers of Adviatech are soon to finalize an agreement which will equally reduce their holdings of the company to free up shares. Adviatech plans to sell equity in the company as part of a 3 year fund-raising strategy. Adviatech Corp. is not currently engaged in the solicitation of shares to potential investors and still in the process of organizing the company's strategy. With the company's proven ability to grow and increase profitability without incurring new debts, the officers believe the company to be an attractive investment when the time comes. <br> <br> On March 27, 2012 Adviatech Corp. sent a Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation to the California Secretary of State which will allow the company to transact intrastate business in the State of California. Adviatech will release a formal announcement related to their plans in California in May of 2012. <br> <br> With a strong fiscal year behind them, Adviatech's management is looking forward to an even stronger 2012 as they begin marketing new services that are currently in beta testing. <br> <br> The company will be filing their state and federal returns on time and will release final data and figures to officers and qualifying shareholders before May 15, 2012. <br> <br> To learn more, call Adviatech at 1.800.728.5305 or visit <a href="http://www.adviatech.com" rel="external" target="_blank">http://www.adviatech.com</a>. <br> <br> Adviatech Corp. <br> 3016 N US Highway 301, Suite 350 <br> Tampa, FL 33619 <br> <br> Adviatech Corp. <br> 567 Sutter St <br> San Francisco, CA 94102 <br> EastBridge Investment Group, A Value Play On The OTC.BB http://www.einpresswire.com/article/733583-eastbridge-investment-group-a-value-play-on-the-otc-bb http://www.einpresswire.com/article/733583-eastbridge-investment-group-a-value-play-on-the-otc-bb Mon, 26 Mar 2012 07:32:10 +0000 /EINPresswire.com/ <br> <a href="http://www.ebigcorp.com/ir.html" rel="external" target="_blank">EastBridge</a> Investment Group Update: <br> <br> (EBIG .OTC.BB) <br> <br> Avg vol : 121,528 , p/e 14 , 52 week range .04-.12 <br> <br> <a href="http://tomorrowsbluechips.com/eastbridge-investment-group-ebig-otc-bb/" rel="external" target="_blank">A 6-CENT STOCK</a> THAT PAYS A DIVIDEND <br> <br> Business Model: <br> <br> EastBridge ( EBIG.BB) currently held by more than 1,600 shareholders. <br> <br> The first OTC BB listed company, whose main business is to assist companies in the United States and Asia to become public companies in the U.S. Depending upon their clients' annual profit and revenue, EBIG business is getting companies listed on the OTC BB, American Stock Exchange (AMEX), Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). <br> <br> EastBridge Investment Group focuses on high-growth companies in Asia, offering IPOs, Joint Ventures and Merchant Banking services.

Recently, the biotech company <a href="http://snnwire.com/Media/index.php/show/gerald_commissiong_amarantus_biosciences_niba_las_vegas_2011?id=0_0bctlct6" rel="external" target="_blank">released a video interview</a> with its CEO, Gerald Commissiong that covers its development of MANF. Unlike Insmed Inc. (NASDAQ:INSM) or Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXN), MANF works by reversing the properties of cell apoptosis, which has shown strong signs of efficacy in a wide range of conditions. Recently, the company updated shareholders on its expanded corporate strategy and execution. <br> <br> Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. released news on January 3, 2012 providing shareholders with an update on the execution of its expanded corporate strategy first announced on November 1st 2011 to position Amarantus as a neurology-focused biotechnology company. Since that time, the Company has: <br> Received grant funding for a Traumatic Brain Injury collaboration with Banyan Biomarkers from Brewer Sports International; <br> Recruited seasoned neurology executive Mark Benedyk, PhD to advise the company on strategy and business development efforts; <br> Received positive feedback on the Company's updated business plan from investors who attended the Company's presentation at the National Investment Banking Association conference in Las Vegas, NV on December 1st, 2011. <br> <br> "Amarantus has made good progress since the announcement of the Company's expanded corporate strategy, and management will work diligently to cause this trend will continue into 2012," said Gerald Commissiong, Amarantus' newly appointed President and CEO. "We will continue to focus our efforts on securing additional corporate partnerships, improving our pipeline and adding seasoned neurology-focused executives to the executive team in order to diligently build shareholder value and improve the standard of care for patients." <br> Amarantus believes that it has a unique opportunity to effect meaningful improvements in the treatment of Parkinson's disease for millions of patients worldwide. The Company expects to release additional results to the marketplace from its lead program for Parkinson's disease in the first half of 2012. <br> <br> About MANF (Mesencephalic-Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor) <br> MANF (Mesencephalic-Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a protein that corrects protein misfolding, one of the major causes of apoptosis (cell death). This property provides a compelling rationale for the research and development of MANF-based products as therapeutics for human disease. The lead MANF product development effort is centered on a therapy for Parkinson's disease, currently funded by a research grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The Company also owns an inventory of 88 cell lines referred to as "PhenoGuard Cell Lines." MANF was the first therapeutic protein discovered from a PhenoGuard Cell Line. It is anticipated that additional therapeutic proteins useful for various therapeutic approaches to the Central Nervous System will be identified from the Company's inventory of PhenoGuard Cell Lines. <br> <br> Forward Looking Statements <br> <br> This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
