Detailed Information of Funded Companies

Foreword 

This second edition .of the SERAP Directory 2001 for the Small 

Entrepreneur Research Assistance Programme (SERAP) provides detailed 

information on the companies which have received funding support from this 

programme. Potential investors, potential funding applicants and anybody wishing 

to know more about these companies will find this directory useful. 

SERAP is a technopreneur fund launched by the Innovation and Technology 

Commission (the Commission) of the Government under the $5 billion Innovation 

and Technology Fund in 1999. 

This funding programme provides pre-venture 

capital funding for technology based and entrepreneur driven projects with reasonable 

commercial potential. The funding under this programme is limited to HK$2 

million to be allocated in two phases. 

Applications are not only critically assessed by the staff of the Commission 

with commercial experience in high-tech businesses, but also by external assessment 

panels whose members are drawn from a pool of assessors with strong background 

and expertise in research, business development, and technology project funding and 

management (including venture capital firms). Projects completing the first phase 

are critically re-assessed by the Commission and the assessment panels before we 

decide whether funding should continue to be provided for the second phase. 

All projects are closely monitored by the Commission against the originally 

agreed milestones. Regular progress reports are submitted by the companies and the 

Commission visit these companies once every 3 months to check progress and to 

provide any coaching advice, particularly from the commercial angle, to the funded 

companies. 

At present, one of the funded companies is considering a listing plan in 

early 2002 and quite a number of the funded companies have already got follow-on 

investments. This proves the high quality of the funded companies. 

All companies given funding for the second stage and some companies 

given funding for the first stage are potential candidates for further investment by 

angel investors and venture capital firms. If you wish to have more details about the 

companies, please contact the companies direct with the information provided in this 

directory. You may also contact the Commission at 2737 2409 by phone, at

Solder Bump 

LTD 

Technologies 

for Flip-Chip Electronic Packaging Applications 

Company Background: 

Advanced Interconnect Technology (AIT) was founded in Hong Kong in 1995 to provide 

a commercial service for wafer bumping to the semiconductor integrated circuit (1C) 

fabrication and electronic chip assembly and packaging industries worldwide. The 

technology of wafer bumping consists of adding small raised metal contacts called 

"bumps" onto the electrical connection pads of a completed semiconductor chip which 

can then be assembled and packaged in an inverted configuration (or "flip-chip" bonded) 

without the use of conventional wire bonds or leads (Fig. 1)

Recent trends in the electronic packaging and interconnection of computers, automotive, 

and battery-operated portables, wireless, and telecommunication products point towards 

the increased utilizing of flip-chip assembly technologies which have been predicted to 

grow at a CAGR of over 150% over the next decade. AIT currently provides a service for 

rapid prototyping and volume wafer bumping for gold, lead-tin solder, electroless 

nickel/gold, copper, and indium bumps. The company also licenses bump fabrication 

technologies for customers who wish to bump their own wafers. Target markets for gold 

wafer bumping consist of flip-chip-on-glass (FCOG) and flip-chip-on-flex (FCOF) 

applications for the packaging of liquid crystal displays used in mobile phones, pagers,

and personal digital assistants (PDAs) and target markets for solder wafer bumping 

services are primarily flip-chip-in-package (FCIP) applications for ball-gnd-array (EGA) 

and chip-scale-packages (CSP) widely used in computers, telecoms, hand-held portables, 

and automotive electronics as well as Smart Cards. 

Project Summary: 

A ban on the use of lead-containing solders in electronic products is currently 

under consideration since it is believed that the lead from such products, which are 

typically disposed of in landfills, have the potential to leach out and contaminate the 

drinking water system. The electronics industry has been targeted to go "lead-free" and 

laws banning the use of lead in electronics products are due to be enacted in the European 

Community (in January 2008) with similar legislation to restrict the use of lead pending 

in the United States and in Japan. 

Efforts to identify suitable lead-free finishes for electronic components have thus 

far been focused mainly on printed circuit boards, leadframe packages, and in the 

selection of solder pastes. Little attention has being paid to the fabrication of lead-free 

bump interconnections which are required when packaging integrated circuits (ICs) by 

flip-chip bonding despite industry predictions that 2.5% of all ICs manufactured in the 

year 2004, approximately 2.4 billion ICs, will have to be bumped and packaged using 

flip-chip (Fig. 2).

In anticipation of a worldwide ban on lead in electronic products, AIT has selected four 

different types of lead-free alloy bump materials consisting of pure tin, tin-bismuth, 

eutectic tin-copper, and eutectic tin-silver. These alloys, with tin constituting a major 

fraction of the solder, were selected on the basis of: i) worldwide resources and 

availability of tin; ii) the comparable cost of the lead-free alloys to lead-tin solder; iii) 

the bumps can be fabricated using low-cost electroplating techniques; iv) the 

compatibility of tin-based solders with current reflow processes, materials, and surface 

mount equipment, and; v) the familiarity of the electronics manufacturing and assembly 

industry in handling tin alloys. Examples of the four different types of lead-free bumps 

which the company has developed and filed for US and worldwide patents, are shown in 

Fig. 3.

Specific project deliverables for the Small Entrepeneur Resarch Assistance Program 

(SERAP) grant include the fabrication and characterization of the four types of lead-free 

bump technologies, establishment of the process parameters for bump fabrication (by 

electroplating), an assessment of the reliability of the lead-free bumps in comparison to 

lead-tin bumps, their compatibility with solder paste materials and reflow processes for 

attachment onto substrates and commercialization of the bumping technologies.

Asia Vision Technology Limited 

Company Background 

Established in 1997, Asia Vision Technology Ltd. (AVT) is dedicated to enhancing efficiency 

and increasing productivity through the development of the latest Computer Vision 

technology applications. 

Dr. John C.M. Lee, founder and CEO of AVT, invented the VECON technology in 1993 at the 

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and with his former student, Mr. 

Ken Wong, co-founder and technical director of the company, they acquired the IP rights of 

VECON from HKUST and sough to develop and commercialize this technology through 

AVT. 

Product Introduction 

VECON technology is a Video Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system that can locate 

and identijfy printed alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, colors, patterns, object 

size and motion in either gray-'level or color source images. Rust, mud, peeling paint, or 

fading colors may distort the characters 3 image; and uneven lighting may make them difficult 

to discern. However, VECON has been well developed and trained to handle these differing 

conditions. Since 1997, VECON systems have been installed and have performed 

successfully at many sites, including private, commercial and government sites. 

Products developed using the VECON technology include the established VECON-VIS and 

VECON-CON; and the new Robo-Eye, VECON-CON Quay Crane, Container Damage 

Inspection (GDI) System and Mobile Detective. 

VECON-CON, VECON-CON Quay Crane, VECON-VIS and Robo-Eye are automatic, realtime 

recognition systems for both stationary and moving container numbers, ISO codes and 

license plate numbers. 

The systems are able to generate a database each of all container/vehicle images and 

container/vehicle license plate numbers, interfacing seamlessly with our clients' information 

systems. 

The SERAP Project 

A two-phase project that helped to launch the pilot of VECON-VIS in China. The first phase 

involved developing the VECON-VIS system to read Guangzhou license plate numbers, and 

ensure an accuracy rate of over ninety percent was achieved. 



.7-

Phase two involved locating suitable sites in which to install a trial version and full versions 

of VECON-VIS. The chosen sites were Guangzhou |ft'Jt[, Yantai MX, DaLian ^H, 

Shanghai _L$i and Beijing 4LJH and many others. However, rather than installing all the 

systems in all these sites ourselves, AVT trained its Systems Integrators (SI) in the installation 

procedures, thus enabling the SI to provide these services while AVT concentrates on its core 

business. 

Shanghai City Government Building 

Beijing World Trade Center 

The trials were successful as the graphics below show:

The VECON technology generic version was used in these installations. The successful 

operations of the systems indicated that launching similar systems throughout most of the 

country's provinces would also be successful. However, in order to achieve such success and 

efficiency, the VECON technology needed to be able to recognize the LPN of a Chinese/* 

vehicle with an accuracy rate of not less than 95.00% in real-time in an external, uncontrolled 

environment. ~ 

The recognition of Chinese vehicle LPNs was the first phase of non-alphanumeric license 

plate number recognition. The VECON system has since been developed to recognize license 

plate numbers from Korea, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and many more countries. 

Industry Analysis & AVT's Position 

The Industry 

Computer Vision is a very fast growing field in the computer software industry. Using 

artificial intelligence is the critical consideration when enhancing the efficiency and accuracy 

of various industries, for example, transport and container port industries. AVT's evolving 

VECON technology is flexible and multi-faceted, enabling it to be applied to the in/out gates 

and cranes of container terminals, entry to and exit from commercial and private car parks, 

border check points, traffic monitoring, fleet management, enforcement area of electronic 

road pricing systems, and many other areas which involve containers and vehicles. 

AVT's Position 

AVT is one of the world's leading companies in this industry. Its VECON-CON and VECON- 

VIS system have undergone real environment testing and were reported to have an accuracy 

rate above 98%. AVT is still receiving similar reports, which note an increase in the 

recognition accuracy rate. Other similar systems, however, are still in the pilot stage. 

One of the entry barriers suppliers of similar systems are facing is that of the setting up trial * 

systems for their clients in various locations. AVT does not face that issue because it has 

seven years' experience of setting up trial systems in domestic and international sites, from 

container ports to car parks to government sites. AVT has expanded its markets to China, 

Taiwan Singapore and Korea, with the U.S.A. and Europe and other countries soon to follow. 

Competitive Advantage 

Intangible Resources 

AVT's chairman and CEO, Dr. John C.M. Lee has fifteen years' experience in Computer 

Vision R&D; a true edge particular to AVT. 



-9-

The developers of VECON are highly qualified, versatile individuals with an abundance of 

knowledge and skills in computer programming and have over seven years 5 experience in 

fine-tuning and upgrading VECON's capabilities for production operations. 

VECON Capabilities 

U.S-Patented, the technology has been proven on the market through client purchases of the 

products and acceptance in many new markets. 

VECON's references are its multiple installation sites. 

VECON is fast and accurate at extracting and recognizing characters on both high-speed and 

stationary vehicles and containers. 

Recognition accuracy rate is increased by using multiple image capturing techniques and high 

power hardware. 

VECON also operates in adverse environments and unstable weather conditions. 

The system is capable of reading alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters of most of 

the world's license plate numbers. 

VECON also reads license plate characters and container numbers even when they are aligned 

in multiple horizontal or vertical lines. 

VECON can also operate on WinNT/98/2000 and Linux. 

The system also easily interfaces with other application software and network through TCP 

socket/ActiveX components. 

Inexpensive equipment, such as commonly available industrial video cameras can be used to 

capture images, thereby minimising costs.

The Company - Best Tech (Hong Kong) Limited 

Executive Summary 

Best Tech (Hong Kong) Limited ("Best Tech") is a newly formed technology firm based in Hong 

Kong. We specialize in design and developing handheld computing devices, wireless 

communication accessories and corresponding software applications. As personal digital 

assistant ("PDA") has been widely accepted by the general public, the specialized applications of 

PDA are becoming a hot topic in US and Europe. Best Tech has put together a list of staff and 

engineers who are a few of the best developers in this region. In view of this trend and demand, 

Best Tech will develop in the vertical market of PDA by means of specializing in the 

development of PDA which provides specific solution to the users with own design hardware and 

software. Best Tech positions itself as the pioneer in development of specialized applications of 

PDA in the region. This paper will elaborate our expertise and skills in our organization, and our 

visions on the coming technology trend, especially on the Multi-media PDA product. 

The Market Trend 

As we all know the world economy has been rapidly changing into an information and 

technology based economy, the maturity of the telecommunication networks and the information 

models eliminates the distance and time barriers between different locations. People are more 

mobilized than ever before. A whole new concept is forming, people view the Internet, telephone 

network, mobile phone network, etc. as the means for transmitting and receiving information. 

The ends of these means have continuously evolved from computers, PDA, to WAP phone, etc. 

The industry terms these devices as Information Appliances ("LA"). It believes that every 

household and everyone will have dozens of these IA products. The mobile IA will be a vital part 

of the IA concept. 

As IA products become very popular in the western world, the Pacific Asia Rim will catch up in 

this trend and the demand in Chinese language LA products will increase in folds as indicated by 

market research from the PDA markets. As Bluetooth technology getting more attention, more 

mobile phones will include this as their features. Bluetooth peripherals will become in demand 

when Bluetooth enabled mobile phones gain the popularity. 

The Company and The Team 

Realizing that the handheld computer and wireless communication will be viable to survive in the 

coming future, Best Tech has assembled a list of experienced staff and engineers with expertise in 

PDA and RF application development. The engineering team is formed by a group of engineers 

who formerly worked for a regional famous handheld electronics product company. The group 

has extensive experience in developing electronics organizers and PDA products, especially in 

Chinese user interface products. The Best Tech team members are addicted to electronics 

gadgets and technologies that always spark new concepts and ideas on possible projects and 

products. Combining with a strong management with international project experience, Best Tech 

represents a very unique and eminent technology firm amongst the local companies. 

Best Tech will have three core functions: Marketing, Research & Development ("R&D"), and 

Production. The marketing and R&D arms will be run in-house while production will be 

partnered with strategic manufacturing partners. 



-17-

The Philosophy 

We believe that by smartly applying the right technology with both hardware and software in an 

innovative way, along with the strong market sense, Best Tech can produce unique and appealing 

IA products. We also think that customized IA products for individual corporations, and 

specialized IA products will become popular in the coming days. Software applications will be 

the major competitive advantage over the rival competition. In Best Tech, we have both the 

handheld product development and regional information system ("IS") project experience, this 

combination will ensure Best Tech in handling the needs of the corporate IS solutions. 

The Strategy 

We think flexibility is crucial in today's product development. To be flexible, Best Tech will 

maintain small teams and a flat structure for easy communication. We will tightly monitor the 

progress of projects with assessment model. To be focused, Best Tech will concentrate on the 

areas that we are expert in like the product definition and implementation. To fill the gaps 

between different processes in the life cycle of the project, we will form strategic alliances with 

the suitable business partners like manufacturers and vendors. We also encourage our team 

members to develop their own ideas and support them to form their own teams. In this way, Best 

Tech will duplicate itself and grow without losing its flexibility. 

The Project - Develop Multimedia PDA Platform 

Best Tech will develop an embedded hardware platform using Cirrus Logic EP7212 and EP73xx 

family, and software platform will be based on Linux 2.2 Kernel. This embedded system will be 

used for Multi-media PDA with colour display which has MP3 player built-in by the end of year 

2000. Based on the platform developed, Best Tech will develop the next model with Bluetooth 

and an build-in Digital Signal Processor ("DSP") to compress the video data such that 

applications like videoconferencing and mobile video-on-demand can be developed on the 

platform. 

The IA Market 

Best Tech focuses on design and developing IA products with the main focus on PDA, especially 

Linux based PDA. As Palm Pilot defined the first generation PDA, PDA users demand more 

powerful device in the next generation of PDA. As Linux is an Open OS and many developers 

will be developing powerful application once the platform is ready, therefore, Linux PDA will 

play a crucial role in the coming PDA markets. PDA Applications are in demand and have 

expand from personal information management to corporations that use PDA as front-end device 

of the mobile computing solution. Linux will be a preferable platform for these applications 

Because of all these factors, our services, products and Best Tech itself will definitely be in 

demand in the very near future. 

Video on PDA Application 

Best Tech has obtained financial sponsorship from the Innovation Technology Fund to develop a 

DSP solution to handle the video data transfer between mobile devices using Bluetooth 

technology. This product will definitely be a successful project for its fast data transmission rate 

and expandability for commercial use for many mobile-computing applications can be developed 

on this product. Best Tech will invite universities to develop the algorithm and the software and 

then cooperate with 1C manufacturer to develop and manufacture the DSP chips.

Key Technology - Bluetooth 

The Bluetooth wireless technology allows users to make effortless, wireless and instant 

connections between various communication devices, such as mobile phones and desktop and 

notebook computers. Since it uses radio transmission, transfer of both voice and data is in realtime. 

The sophisticated mode of transmission adopted in the Bluetooth specification ensures 

protection from interference and security of data. 

The Bluetooth radio is built into a small microchip and operates in a globally available frequency 

band ensuring communication compatibility worldwide. The Bluetooth specification has two 

power levels defined; a lower power level that covers the shorter personal area within a room, and 

a higher power level that can cover a medium range, such as within a home. Software controls 

and identity coding built into each microchip ensure that only those units preset by their owners 

can communicate. 

The Bluetooth wireless technology supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint 

connections. With the current specification, up to seven 'slave 1 devices can be set to communicate 

with a 'master' radio in one device. Several of these 'piconets' can be established and linked 

together in ad hoc "scatternets" to allow . communication among continually flexible 

configurations. All devices in the same piconet have priority synchronization, but other devices 

can be set to enter at any time. The topology can best be described as a flexible, multiple piconet 

structure. 

Success Factors 

Best Tech has experienced members in the embedded system development projects and focuses 

on the IA projects with strong project management skills. Best Tech founding members have 

visions on the IA product development trend and are familiar with the markets. Best Tech has 

closed relationship with the manufacturers and components vendors such that it can foresee the 

roadmap of both the suppliers and clients. 

Opportunity 

Many electronics manufacturers want to transform but lack the R&D capabilities in the region 

plus the demand of the PDA applications, for examples: many corporations and government 

departments want to implement PDA solutions in their organisation IT infrastructure. In view of 

this trend, Best Tech grabs the opportunity and takes the chance to develop a platform and the 

communication foundation for the future IA products. 

Best Tech has gather a group of experienced team in the embedded system development projects 

with strong international partners and experts in technology. The objective of Best Tech in the 

coming two years is to facilitate local electronics manufacturers to transform their business to 

high value products and provide one-stop solution to the client and ensure them will be able to 

put the project into production 

Strategic Partners 

One of the competitive edges for Best Tech is its strategic partners. Cirrus Logic provides its 

ARM-7 core CPU series EP7212 and EP73xx and technical support to Best Tech in developing 

the PDA platform. Phillips provides a developing colour display and technical support to the 

project. Lestina International Limited provides components sourcing support to Best Tech. 

Emsoft Limited ported the Linux Kernel and desktop application onto the platform. Telecom 



-19-

Technology Centre will provide the bluetooth technology and technical support for the Video on 

PDA project. Best Tech is supported by many strategic manufacturing partners, for example 

Tomorrow International Holdings Limited. 

Competitor 

Based on enquiry and feedback from our clients, it finds that no competitors in our business 

within the region. In Hong Kong, there are no local competitors in IA design house business. 

Client indicates that the companies in PRC lack of project management skills and global market 

sense. Taiwanese companies only develop for their own products and will not serve other 

companies., embedded system design company is not popular there. Korean companies are 

expensive and have communication problems. Singaporean companies are expensive and the 

distant support to the manufacturers causes problems. European and US companies are extremely 

expensive and poor support to the manufacturers. In view of all these competitors, Best Tech 

finds itself having very strong competitive edge in the industry.

Convergence Technologies Limited 

9 th Floor, CNAC Group Building 

10 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong 


In a May 1 st 2001 AWSJ article, Pat Gelsinger, Intel CTO, said: "Heat represents the 

biggest obstacle facing Intel." Indeed, the current electronics have reached the limits of 

today's cooling technologies, and as a result, OEM's are currently managing the 

thermal problem through short-term solutions such as reducing circuit sizes, changing 

materials and implementing a clock-down procedure when the chip gets too hot. 

Convergence Technologies Limited, a fabless Hong Kong corporation, has 3 patentpending 

cooling technologies (Cooltek, Vaportek and Flextek) that can deliver heat-fins 

with 5x the performance-to-cost ratio of what can be delivered with existing cooling 

technologies. Through these disruptive, leadership products, the company seeks to 

assume a leadership position in a 3-Billion-USD market, and to form strategic 

relationships with subcontractors, distributors, and component/system manufacturers. 

n. Team 

Currently, our team consists of 4 full-time employees and 12 part-timers. The 

management team consists of 2 Ph.D.'s, and 2 senior managers of Nasdaq listed public 

companies. The founder was previously the President & CEO of the Hong Kong 

subsidiary of a silicon-valley based high-tech startup. 


The key to increasing the performance of an electronic cooling system is by 

removing the last-inch problem imposed by current heatsinks. By leveraging on our 

core technologies, we are able to produce Coolfin. which is a heatsink with drastically 

improved internal heat-distribution. The exact dimensions, cost, design and production 

process of Coolfin have already been determined and bench-marked computer 

simulations confirmed that it is capable of delivering 5x the cooling ability of existing 

heatsinks, while maintaining a comparable cost structure. Leveraging on the efficiency 

of Coolfin. a second product called Polarpak will also be developed. Polarpak is 

essentially a package enclosure, whereby the enclosed chip can reach a temperature of 

down to -150 C. As a result, the Polarpak is expected to play a critical role in enabling 

superconducting electronics. By offering the Coolfin to meet the OEM's immediate 

problems and the Polarpak to enable future electronics, we collectively refer to these 

products as the Total Thermal Management Solution. This is a marketing message 

that we will continually emphasize and particularly as we shift into the mezzanine 

round when we will seek to introduce custom-tailor 7/24 customer services.

Delta innovative Software Limited 


Delta Innovative Software Limited was founded in 2000 with major focus in software for 

the insurance industry. We believe that the insurance sector has a large market potential 

for IT and our mission is to become the market leader of IT in this industry. 

Although young, our experience can be traced back to eight years ago, when the 

predecessor of Delta produced the first insurance brokerage software, later named 

InsureSoft. By now, InsureSoft has largest market share in insurance brokerage 

software. 

With this advantage, we are rapidly emerging into other segments of insurance industry, 

for instance, the life insurance sector. Our strategy is make use of the current network 

and extend it to the next, and the next, so that finally we cover each segment of 

insurance industry. 

We also believe in a balanced business philosophy. Therefore, not only is Delta sound in 

technical innovations, we are also excel in business connections, marketing strategies, 

financial management and also human resources management. 

EL Team 

Both directors of Delta, Mr. Tommy Choi and Mr. Simon Kwan are veterans in the 

software industries. Both educated in the 80s and acquired concrete software 

engineering skills in the early 90s, they both have exposed to many sizable software 

projects in many industries, especially the finance industry. 

Besides technical skills, they are also strong in marketing, management and finance. 

We also have some other directors that hold minority shares that have excellent 

connections within the insurance industry. 

Delta also has a sound team of programmers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China.

Delta innovative software Limited 

m. Products/Services 

The main product of Delta is InsureSoft 2000: a complete suite of product and 

services, targeting different players of insurance industry, including insurance 

principles, brokers, individual agents and eventually, customers. 

Its core components can be summaried by the following table; 

Product 

[nsureSoft 

Description 

The flagship product of Delta and receive wide 

acceptance from the insurance brokerage industry. It is 

an integrated insurance brokerage and accounting 

system that addresses all the needs of an insurance 

broker. It has more than 40 customers. 

Insurance Party 

Addressed 

Ensurance intermediaries 

Further development of InsureSoft is the International 

Edition which implies naturalization tools for 

InsureSoft to cover needs in different countries. 

InsureSoft IEC is to use the Internet, which is a low cost medium 

Exchange Centre to streamline the business information exchange 

(IEC) 

between the insurance players (e.g. principles and 

intermediaries). In short, it is a B2B e-commerce 

framework. 

InsureSoft / 

Palm 

This version of InsureSoft is based on the features 

already appear in the traditional of InsureSoft, plus 

related conduits for users to upload/download 

information from their respective insurance principles 

or intermediaries. 

Principles and 

intermediaries 

Individual agents 

AgentYP.com 

A web site that holds information about individual 

agents and provides tools for their facilitation in 

communication and selling. 

Individual agents and 

customers 

InsureSoft / Web A web version of InsureSoft, used by smaller 

intermediaries. Easier to deploy and maintain. 

Insurance intermediaries 

The main idea of the product suite is completeness and integration. Each player in the 

insurance industry has some specific needs of their own. For instance, insurance brokers 

need insurance brokerage software, where individual agents require mobile solutions, 

and do not forget, there are interaction between them. 

What we are trying to achieve is: "when you come to Delta, we have solution for you" 



-34-

Delta innovative software Limited 

Our Competitive Edge 

Product completeness 

Due the completeness of the product suite, we address the pain of the insurance parties 

in a complete manner, instead of solving it one by one. In fact most of the problem 

involves more than one party to solve and hardly one alone can solve the problem alone 

(e.g. data exchange problem) 

Knowledge and experience of both the insurance industry and IT 

We have a good balance of knowledge between the insurance industry practice and 

culture as well of IT. IT for insurance industry, like other financial industries such as banks 

and investment houses, is not easy to enter. The decision-makers of the insurance 

parties require you to have a skilled insurance knowledge before a conversation can be 

established. After all, we have been in this area for more than 10 years. 

Business connection 

With the introduction of our two new directors, who are very renowned persons in the 

industry, we are provided of good connections to public relations and prospective 

customers. This is an invaluable asset to the company. 


Project Title: InsureSoft 2000: An IT Framework and Product Suite for the Insurance 

Industry. 

This project is aimed at improving the IT infrastructure of the insurance industry. 

InsureSoft 2000 is a completed suite of product and services, targeting different players 

of insurance industry, including insurance principles, brokers and company agents, 

individual agents and eventually, customers. 

The keyword to this project is Integration, Electronic Data Interchange and Mobile 

Computing, and the key technology employed include XML, web programming, Palm 

computing and Bluetooth.

Tremendous saving in resources 

In a traditional VOD system, network bandwidth is the limiting factor hence we have rarely 

seen any massive deployment of such systems. DINA differentiates itself from conventional 

technology by using an ingenious software and hardware architecture combination to scale 

back the usage of network bandwidth, hence the running cost of the system is greatly reduced, 

while maintaining full VCR/DVD type controls (Play/Stop/FF/RWD/Jump/Pause/Resume). 

Bandwidth savings by DINA measures up to 98% when compared to traditional unicast 

deliveries and DINA also saves up to 90% in system cost. 

The comparison below assumes massive deployment in a metropolitan area with 1,500,000 

subscribers viewing 1,000 hours of content. 

DINASTech's TVOD is the True VOD product that supports instant playback, with full VCR 

control (Fast-forward, Rewind, Jump, Pause, and Resume) on the contents. IVOD is a subset 

of TVOD that only incorporates instant startup with Pause, Resume, and discrete Jumps, yet 

saves even more on bandwidth consumption.

If we compare DINA and traditional unicast VOD, it is obvious that DINA beats unicast 

deployment hands down without any reservation, both in system cost, bandwidth utilization, 

and most important of all, scalability that translates into a fixed system cost for service 

providers when he expands his customer base. 

Highly adaptable to other applications 

DINA's technology is not just confined to massive delivery of video to the mass audience. It 

is adaptable to other information delivery to the mass such as software delivery. For example, 

software will be rented over the Internet in the future and DINA IVOD can be used to 

stream the software to the users instantly and efficiently. 

A music company can certainly put their entire library of music onto a DINA platform 

efficiently, hence allowing their subscribers instant access to this library of music at home, 

through their hi-fi, or instant access through their wireless MP3 players, or even their mobile 

phones. All of these with a meager consumption on bandwidth. 

These are only some highly probable solutions utilizing DINA and we have yet to exploit the 

full potential of this technology. 


SERAP has provided support to the development of our DINA technology. Prototypes have 

been built to test the feasibility of the design and trials have been carried out with support from 

other major telecommunications providers.

Every year, there are almost 1 billion scrap tires discarded in the world. About 

100 millions of these non-biodegradable residues are generated in mainland China & 

Hong Kong annually. Energy conversion process of TDF and incineration are currently 

treating nearly 40% of the scrap tires, however, they are not environmental friendly 

treatment due to the emission of Sulfur and Zinc into air and creating ash disposal 

problem. Small portion of the scrap tires are being recycled by mean of rubber 

extraction but the contribution is insignificant to the issue due to its limited applications. 

Currently, over 35 percent of this scrap is ended up in overcrowded landfills. Millions 

more are left in empty lots and illegal tire dumps. These dumps are also potentially 

causing acute hygienic and environmental problems that alarm the world. 

In view of the scrap tire problems to our living environment, we, the company has 

been putting huge R&D effort in the development of Rubber Soil Technology to convert 

the scrap tires into an useful civil and geotechnical material which is not only an 

outstanding geo-construction material replacing the conventional fill or backfill 

material, it will be a truly massive and permanent solution to the global scrap tires 

problem and to be a business of multi-billion US dollars profit venture. 

OUR MISSION "Bringing the world into a better living environment through 

development and implementation of state-of-the-art Geo-Environmental 

Technologies leading to sustainable and effective utilization of solid wastes"

The compressive strength and stiffness of 

Rubber Soil are significantly higher 

than that of compacted backfill 

Extremely low Ko value 

The coefficient of earth pressure at rest, 

Ko of Rubber Soil is as low as 0.05 

The Rubber Soil has many outstanding applications with excellent cost saving factor 

from 20-70%. As a revolutionised geo-material and geo-construction method, Rubber 

Soil significantly enhances geotechnical performance of earth structures and dramatically 

reduces overhead costs in site construction, supervision and monitoring as compared with 

conventional methods. 

The Rubber Soil construction only requires semi-skilled labour to install pre-cast 

blocks (Rubber Soil BlOCkS) under supervision of trained engineering staff, a more costeffective 

way of constructing backfill, much less heavy earth-moving equipment. 

Furthermore, the construction technology can result in much less noise and air polluted 

working site. 

The Rubber Soil will contribute to cost & construction timesavings of over 20- 

40% depending on the scale of construction project. On the other hands, hundred of 

millions of non-biodegradable and environmentally hazardous scrap tires can be fully 

utilised and leaving more green space for people to live.

Note: All the above authentication solutions are not available in mobile environment except 

IDS. 

Being effective, iDS takes less than a few seconds to process the authentication and most of the 

steps except the provision of application PIN, are folly automated and behind the scene, which 

reduce the risk of intrusion. Since iDS does not rely on encryption technologies, the program size 

is relatively small and it takes a small processing power, leaving sufficient spaces for other 

backend applications. In addition, the interface of iDS is user-friendly and users do not require to 

change much of their habits to fit the our authentication process, which is as simply as drawing 

money from automated teller machines (ATMs). 

Being reliable, iDS ensures that an unique one-time password is generated for each individual 

USB key, SIM card, and iDS-enabled handheld device in every session of authentication, which 

no duplication is possible. Besides, the entire session is protected by ECHO, which interactively 

works with iDS to eliminate any unauthorized access attempt. 

BENEFITS 

IDS delivers a superior value to enterprises and end-users by enabling trust in the e-marketplace. 

In such, the end-user of our technologies can enjoy the benefits of privacy, assurance, and 

convenience, all at a lower cost. The enterprise can gain the edge of flexibility, investment 

protection, and time to market. 

• Privacy - A string of self generated numbers free of personal information 

• Assurance - A one-time and non duplicated password 

• Convenience - Available in a USB key, a Java-based SIM card (with or without 

built-in browser), and an IDS-enabled handheld devices

Go-CDMA Ltd. is a high tech Research and Development (R&D) company pioneering a new 

4G technology, called Go-CDMA, for wireless communication systems, based on a nonlinear 

code division multiple access approach. Its objective is to significantly increase the capacity 

performance of the existing 3G CDMA based wireless communication systems. 

The pending patents are the core competence of Go-CDMA systems. They help to retain the 

best features of both the current code division multiple access (CDMA) and time division 

multiple access (TDMA) technologies, which as a result, would significantly reduce the noise 

level in current systems under typical traffic conditions. For the same peak transmitter power, 

the innovations translate to a significantly greater network capacity than currently possible. 

Alternatively, for the same capacity and quality of service, the proposed enhancements allow 

transmission at a lower power than conventional 3G wireless systems. They are fully 

compatible with current CDMA systems and broadband 3G wireless standards, thus ensuring a 

favourable assimilation path into the global CDMA market. 

The first milestone of Go-CDMA Ltd. is to add more than double the value of the company with 

its existing intellectual property. Go-CDMA Ltd. has filed for three US Patents on its nonlinear 

CDMA innovation. Subsequent patent filings in Europe, Japan and PRC are being pursued. This 

paves the way for the future direction of the company, which includes linking in with major 

telecommunication vendors such as Ericsson, Lucent Technologies, Nokia, Qualcomm, 

Samsung and Siemens etc. 

On December 2000, Go-CDMA Ltd. has signed a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) on the 

Go-CDMA technology with Siemens AG, Munich. Possible collaborations with Nokia and 

Ericsson have been initiated. 

Short Term Objectives: 

1. To further research, develop, validate, test and patent the Intellectual Property Rights (DPR) 

of an advanced coding and multiplexing scheme, termed Go-CDMA for commercialisation. 

2. Subsequent development of software, and possibly hardware prototypes for the advanced 

Go-CDMA scheme. 

3. Assimilation of our technologies into current CDMA standards and hardware platforms. 

4. Double the value of the company in the short term by virtue of its research team, massmarket 

product concepts, and its IPR. 

Long Term Objectives: 

1. Establish strategic alliances with major players in mobile wireless (i.e. Ericsson, Lucent 

Technologies, Motorola, Nokia, Qualcomm and Siemens AG etc.) through either joint 

ventures or licensing of our DPR. 

2. Further R&D into other areas of improving the performance of broadband, wireless 

communication systems, especially on Go-CDMA systems. 

3. To position us as a Hong Kong, China company for industry oriented R&D in wireless 

communications and networking solutions in the local and worldwide market. 

4. Exploit fully the advantages of the company so as to achieve listing on the Hong Kong 

Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.

Professor Lok Tat Ming is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Engineering 

at CUHK. He specialises in telecommunication with emphasis in CDMA systems. He has done 

research in performance evaluation, multiuser detection, transmitter and receiver design for 

CDMA systems, with publications in major international journals and conferences. His projects 

on CDMA systems have been supported by RGC/UGC research grants (Earmarked Grant and 

Direct Grant). 

Our R&D Engineer is a top PhD candidate in the Department of Information Engineering at 

CUHK. 

in. Products/Services 

The global market for mobile communication is expected to grow exponentially in the 

foreseeable future. Hundreds of millions of users will be subscribing annually to mobile 

services worldwide. Even a fraction of this market will be worth hundreds of million dollars. 

Due to the standardisation of the 3G wireless systems, most if not all of these subscribers will 

be using a derivation of the CDMA technology. In recent years, CDMA is a widely accepted 

technology and there is a worldwide convergence towards the CDMA based system. Since Go- 

CDMA is 4G CDMA system, which is compatible with the standard 3G CDMA systems, the 

market potential for Go-CDMA is enormous. 

Global deployment of CDMA networks and services (http://www.cdg.org) 

The technology base of Go-CDMA Ltd. originates from the published doctoral thesis work of 

Dr. Tan. The thesis explored an option for a mobile communication system for perhaps seven 

users, and highlighted the advantages for larger systems, should certain technical problems be 

solved. Go-CDMA Ltd. will be initially working towards developing proprietary expertise to 

attain practical implementations of a related scheme for all CDMA applications, especially for 

3G mobile communication systems. 



-65-

Go-CDMA Ltd. is pioneering an alternative coding and multiplexing technique, termed Go- 

CDMA. Only a reduced peak-to-average (PAP), or a unitary PAP signal needs to be transmitted 

from a transmitter to the receiver. Go-CDMA Ltd. seeks to enhance the capacity of CDMA yet 

maintain its error correction capability, which is achieved by signal spreading. It achieves the 

optimum channel capacity, while achieving a reduced PAP or even a unitary transmission signal 

envelope. This means support for higher transmission power, without the penalty of signal 

distortion or interference due to high signal PAP. Thus, Go-CDMA will increase the 

performance and capacity of current CDMA systems. 

It is imperative that the new methods be compatible with today's conventional 3G CDMA. 

Current CDMA standards and hardware platforms can be modified to support the envisaged 

enhancements with minimal effort and costs. In some cases, only a software upgrade in the 

current programmable hardware would be required. 

Go-CDMA can co-exist with current 3G CDMA systems in the same cell without introducing 

additional interferences other than that expected when additional 3G CDMA users are present. 

The fact that Go-CDMA gives a better performance on all significant measures than 

conventional 3G CDMA, and its compatibility with current 3G CDMA standards, gives Go- 

CDMA Ltd. a window opportunity to successfully develop and market its technologies. 

Licensing Go-CDMA technology to enhance the performance and capacity of 3G CDMA 

systems has the potential of global impact, even with a small technical advance or enhancement. 

Our goal is to provide improvements in terms of reasonable performance and capacity measure 

by a factor of two or more. 


Go-CDMA Ltd. is supported by the Hong Kong Government through the Small Entrepreneur 

Research Assistance Programme (SERAP).

Grant Technology (HK) Co., Ltd. 


Moving from medical to biotechnology, and from trading to manufacturing, Grant 

Technology is transforming into a biotech company. Our mission is: "to become a 

portal for China's biotech industry/ Our strategy is to collaborate with overseas 

biotech companies to develop products suitable for the China market, and work 

in partnership with China's biotech companies to improve and develop new 

products to enter into the international market. 

Formed in 1996, with a clear vision to become one of the pioneer biotech 

companies in Hong Kong, we have taking a lengthy period to study the market 

by starting our business as a trading company in the medical diagnostic field. 

Over the years, not only did, we learned from the success and downfall of 

overseas biotech companies, we have also developed a solid sales and 

distribution network in Hong Kong and China. 

At the beginning of the new millennium, our evolution from trading to 

biotechnology began. To ensure success, we have selected to manufacture 

n ready-to-use" culture medium where there is a ready market in Hong Kong to 

sustain production. Surely and sturdily building on the same infrastructure, our 

next development will be the production of Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay 

(ELISA) kits and this is scheduled as early as 2002. 

Our business plan is only made possible as the result of SERAP funding offered 

by the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Special Administration 

Region of Hong Kong. Our goal is to create a unique company identity in the 

very near future.

As a startup biotech company, the trading aspect of the business is very 

important to maintain a steady cash flow to sustain a sales network, 

Beginning in 2001, we have started to produce Yeady-to-use' culture medium 

and stains for microbiology laboratories. At this point of time, we are only 

producing four different culture media and several stains to support the private 

medical sector in Hong Kong. We hope to expand the product range to twenty to 

twenty-five by the end of 2002 and hopefully enter the volume market within 

Hospital Authority and Department of Health. We believe our local production will 

have the price advantage over the current overseas suppliers and also 

discourage in-house production in local hospitals. 

We are also developing a range of low-end ELISA diagnostic kits for the China 

market with our European and Chinese partners. We estimate the products will 

be ready as early as early as 2002.

About the SERAP Project 

Our SERAP project is to startup a production site for "Ready-to-use' culture 

medium. "Ready-to-use' culture medium is referred to as Pre-poured Medium 

(PPM) in the trade, and it is intended for use by all microbiology laboratories, 

(both medical and industrial). The current trade practice in Hong Kong is to 

prepare this culture medium in-house from raw materials. However, the finished 

product lacks standardization and quality control, and the process is very labor 

intensive. Our SERAP project is to develop a fully automated production line to 

produce PPM which will save on labor cost and to replace the 'home-made' 

culture medium market. In the process, we should be able to optimize the 

production procedures and standardized the quality of the products, The end 

products will be better QC and consistent. Apart from production development, 

the project will also involve the setting up of an ISO 9001 certified production 

procedure. We will also employ the NCCLS Quality Control method to QC the 

PPM. (NCCLS is an International recognized standard used in microbiology). 

At the completion of this SERAP project, we should be able to produce more than 

20 different most routine used PPM for microbiology laboratories in Hong Kong.

InterQoS Systems Limited. 

InterQoS Systems Limited 

Company background 

The advancement of networking technology boosts many Internet applications, including World 

Wide Web, voice/video over Internet, eCommerce and other web-based enterprise applications. In 

networks supporting these applications, switches and routers are the infrastructure that are 

responsible for directing the traffic to be sent to different parts of networks. The explosive increase 

in network traffic leads to a bandwidth increase of 2 to 4 times per year. This in turn requires the 

switches/routers to processes hundreds of millions of packets per second. Application-specific 

chips have to be designed to meet the ever-increasing network speed while guaranteeing Qualityof-Service 

(QoS) to support revenue-generating applications. 

In the past, vendors built all the hardware of a switch or router by themselves. Nowadays, owing to 

fierce competition, they prefer to integrate chips from numerous vendors to form a system for 

reducing development cost and time-to-market. Therefore, InterQoS Systems Limited has been 

founded to capitalize on the communication chip market worth billions of USD. We provide the 

building blocks for next-generation communication networks. Our product, QoSwitch, is a 

cell/packet switching subsystem. It performs packet switching function, which is the most 

important function of a switch or router. System vendors like Cisco, Nortel and Huiwei(lpJi), etc., 

can apply it to build world-class switches/routers.

Owing to the customer enormous demands for high speed and absolute QoS guarantees, technology 

is the key factor for success in this industry. We shall put significant resource on R&D to ensure 

continuous technology innovation and maintain our competitiveness. Moreover, we shall also 

support the CSEX standards for ensuring product compatibility. Furthermore, we shall actively seek 

alliance with other chipset vendors to provide a complete solution for our customers. 

InterQoS Team 

The founder, Ronald Hui, have profound research background from the Information Engineering 

Department of Chinese University. Recent years, he conducts research and development in 

advanced switching theory, packet queueing theory and Verilog designs of parallel architectures. 

Another founder, DerickHui, has years of 1C design experience in a Silicon Valley startup Aspec. 

He has also developed marketing and sales strategies of chips when he was in Mitsubishi Electric 

(H.K.) Limited. 

InterQoS product: QoSwitch 

Two major trends in next-generation communication networks 

With the emergence of the Internet, bandwidth demand on access networks and wide area networks 

(WAN) has escalated enormously. Accompanying with the explosive increase in number of 

subscribers, the broadband access services, such as xDSL and cable modems, expand the access 

speed to multi-Mbps, which is 10 to 100 times higher than existing services. The immediate 

outcome is exponential growth in Internet traffic volume. Meanwhile, as the CPU computation 

power doubles every 18 months according to Moore's Law, the LAN bandwidths have also 

expanded to tens of gigabit rapidly. 

Besides, there are strong demands for service convergence, i.e. carrying real time applications, such 

as voice, video, mission-critical enterprise applications, as well as traditional data service in a 

single network. However, the Internet used to be designed for providing best-effort service. With 

this service model, service providers cannot control packet delays for individual users. Data 

transmission is subject to unpredictable delay and loss. Real time applications cannot tolerate any 

variable delay. Otherwise, it causes very frustrating user experiences like discontinuous speech or 

video. In order to satisfy the stringent service requirements, network providers have to guarantee 

Quality of Service (QoS) for each user. QoS refers to service parameters that determine the 

satisfaction of a network subscriber with a contracted offering. The parameters include upper 

bound of packet delay, bandwidth guarantees and packet loss rate. 

In conclusion, the next-generation high-speed communication networks have to be capable of 

providing huge aggregate bandwidth along and absolute QoS guarantee for real-time applications 

simultaneously. 

QoSwitch solution 

The QoSwitch solution is a revolutionary packet/cell switching subsystem designed to meet the 

challenges of next-generation switching, routing and transport systems. Router/switch vendors can 



-92-


apply it to build world-class switches/routers. It provides enormous switching capacities that can be 

scaled to multi-Terabit and beyond. Meanwhile, it can maintain absolute guarantees of Quality of 

Service (QoS) for thousands or even millions of flows. With its rich features and unparalleled 

performances, QoS witch will become the building blocks of a variety of networks such as edge and 

core networks, as well as LAN and Storage Area Networks. Network providers can offer QoS •.*' 

guaranteed services in packet switched networks without employing TDM service, thus achieving 

100% bandwidth utilization. 

The QoSwitch solution includes three chipsets, i.e., crossbar controller, crossbar and traffic 

management chips. The crossbar chip sends packets from input ports to the destined output ports. 

However, owing to the unpredictability of Internet traffic, multiple packets may contend for the 

same output in a particular moment. Therefore, it is necessary to use a crossbar controller to resolve 

the output contention so as to maintain high throughput and QoS guarantees under full loading. The 

traffic management chip performs per-flow weighted-fair-queueing to provide port-level QoS 

guarantees for each port. Combining with crossbar-level QoS guarantees, the architecture provides 

end-to-end QoS guarantees along the packet path within the switch subsystem. The following 

figure shows how the QoSwitch chipsets can be integrated with chips from other vendors to form a 

complete hardware platform of a switch/router.

Figure 2. The QoSwitch architecture. 

Competitive edge 

QoS guarantees and high switching capacity used to be contradictory engineering requirements. 

Output-buffering is a suitable architecture for QoS guarantees but is difficult to scale up the 

switching capacity. The most advanced commercial product only have a capacity of 16Gbps. Some 

other vendors employ input buffering to achieve high capacity but fail to provide QoS function as 

good as output buffering. With an innovative architecture combining the advantages of input 

buffering and output buffering, QoSwitch has unparalleled performance in terms of both switching 

capacity and QoS guarantees. We can provide a full-duplex switching capacity of SOGbps using a 

Xilinx Virtex IIFPGA today. We are already expanding the capacity to 320Gbps and shall finish 

the improvement in Q4 of 2001. Later in Q2 of 2002, we shall release a second-generation 

switching ASIC solution, which has an aggregate capacity of 1.28Tbps, equivalent to 32 ports of 

OC-768. Our competitors, such as PMC-Sierra, have to employ expensive ASIC technology to 

achieve a capacity of 320Gbps. 

Moreover, our QoS functions also have significant competitive edges over other products. Many 

existing products use per-class queueing for packet scheduling. Per-class queueing can only reduce 

the average delay of high-priority packets, but cannot provide any QoS guarantees, such as packet 

delay bound. In fact, only per-flow queueing can provide these QoS guarantees. As a result, we 

have a unique implementation that can perform 32 million per-flow queueing operations per second 

for thousands of flows. The implies that switches/routers can provide absolute QoS guarantees in a 

connection running at the speed of lOGbps. 


The QoSwitch project is funded by the Small Enterprise Research Assistance Programme (SERAP) 

of the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,

THE SERAP PROJECT FOR INNOVATIVE WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY 

The purpose of the project is to develop an innovative wastewater treatment process 

that is more efficient and cost-effective than the current market selections. There are 

several aspects of wastewater treatment plants that affect the cost, e.g. land area 

requirements, operating cost, equipment complexity/cost, requirement to meet future 

more stringent effluent discharge standards. The new product would include 

innovative improvements as regards several of the above aspects, particularly in space 

savings, capital investment and operating costs. The product would be applicable for 

both domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. 

The market for this type of product includes both private and government entities 

There is a growing regional market for the current product (the SBR2), both for new 

facilities and for upgrades of existing facilities. The new process technology, i.e. the 

new product, would enhance the current highly competitive market position of the 

company. 

Development of the technology during Phase I includes feedback from relevant 

experts, response of the customer market to the technology, modelling to estimate 

benefits, and application for a patent. Phase II activities include advanced computer 

modelling, and pilot-scale testing and verification. To introduce the technology to the 

market, a full-scale demonstration is needed after the SERAP-supported R&D work is 

completed.

1 ABOUT US 

Lifewood was established in Hong Kong in March, 2000, founded by Raymond Wong, Derek 

Chu and Benjamin Keung. Lifewood, a local based information technology provider, is 

committed to realize the concept of "Personalized information at your fingertip" by deploying 

its own proprietary, locally developed ONE (One-to-one Network Environment) eCRM system 

with several pioneer knowledge discovery technologies. 

The ONE eCRM solution is the result of over 3 years research and development of Mr. Derek 

Chu, a senior database specialist with recognized achievement in the field of the data mining 

technology. 

The dramatic growth of Internet population and eCRM draws the attention of many 

international companies, no matter they are doing portal business or other e-related business. 

However, the performance of today's eCRM solutions is not as satisfactory as it should be due 

to the lack of embedded personalization and behavior analysis. The goal of ONE is to provide 

an eCRM solution with high analytical power as well as the application of the proprietary data 

mining technology. It would give enterprises a more in-depth insight of their market 

segments and online customer behavior. 

Lifewood's proprietary data mining technology is highly recognized by the industry and 

academic field. In September 2000, the company has received funding from Innovation and 

Technology Commission of HKSAR Government to support the development of our eCRM 

system. 

2 INTRODUCTION 

Many business do not have efficient customer relationship management programs, which 

allows them to distinguish the profitable customers who would make subsequent purchases 

from those mere window shoppers, 

Recent research by Cyber Dialogue reveals that the top 20 percent of online shoppers who 

spend more than USD1,000 per year on the Web has constituted 87 percent of the total 

online consumer sales market. The above group is more likely to buy expensive items online, 

get involved in reward programs, and seek customer service by email. To retain these 

profitable customers, building stronger customer relationships is the key factor to success.

an eCRM ASP

However, when an enterprise builds its own customer relationship management strategy, it 

will usually find it difficult to choose between different eCRM applications, such as Online Call 

Center, E-mail Campaign and etc. One of the hints is that, it should be borne in mind that a 

CRM strategy will only be effective if it suits your customers' preferences, interest and 

purchasing potential. The ONE from Lifewood is a system which the enterprise can deploy to 

transform the raw customer profile files into a clearer picture of customer preference and 

behavior. 

3 _UFEWQQD DATA MINING ENGINE „ 

A main focus of eCRM is how to increase the customers' loyalty and build trusted customer 

relationships. All these depend on accurate customer segmentation. ONE performs business 

and customer behavior analysis, segmentation and prediction so that Enterprise can interact 

with customers in an effective and personalized manner. 

Lifewood's ONE not only offer touch-point management, but also optimize the advanced data 

mining technology to let the enterprise 

1. to classify its customer by sophisticated data clustering technology, not just demographic 

data; 

2. to reveal the customer preference or interest through the customer behavior analysis, 

instead of by polling and survey; 

3. to deliver personalized information to customer by using the personalization technology 

instead of preset templates, 

3.1 CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS 

When you have billions of interactions with online customers, an ordinary statistical analytical 

tool can only let you know the summary. It can never help you to identify behavioral patterns 

and purchasing habits of your customers. ONE's association-rule discovery engine is an 

engine which does not only help you to track the customer behavior but also to find out the 

correlation between any sets of transactions. The ability to reveal this correlation from the 

messy database makes the engine more than just an analytical tool, but an expert system 

which can offer you with the recommendation and market forecasting.

Data Clustering 

Traditional analytical tools use demographic data to segment the customers. However this 

does not reflect the market segmentation in the real world. ONE'S clustering engine uses 

Lifewood's proprietary data mining algorithm to help to segment the customer data in an 

intelligent way. Each cluster segmented by the association-rule discovery engine can show 

not only the demographic attribute, but also other valuable attributes such as the customers' 

behavior pattern and purchasing habits. 

3,2 PERSONALIZATION 

After finding out the behavior pattern and market segment, the remaining and the most 

important element is to build up a close enterprise-customers relationship. ONE'S 

personalization engine can tailor make the message sending to each individual customer on 

the basis of the knowledge found by the above two engines. This personalization engine 

takes care of the customer in a friendly way. The friendship built by making use of the 

personalization engine can retain the customer and further explore their purchasing potential. 

Also, as the number of touch point (e.g WAP, email, storefront, call center, portal and etc) 

per customer is increasing, choosing the proper way to delivery message to the customer is 

another critical factor to a successful eCRM strategy. The personalization engine can also 

base on the behavior analysis of each customer to choose the most effective channel for 

delivering the information. This engine establishes an effective communication channel 

between enterprise and customer, and enables client to respond to the message rapidly and, 

therefore, increases the ROI (return on investment). 

4 THE COMPETITIVE EDGE OF ONE 

Customer behavior analysis, data clustering and personalization can also be achieved by 

traditional data mining engine. However, utilizing these engines in eCRM requires advanced 

skill set and seldom do the data mining engine vendors provide tailor-made version for eCRM 

solution. Lifewood's data mining engines have been molded to suit different goals of eCRM, 

Also Lifewood's proprietary data mining algorithm provides an interactive and incremental 

data mining instead of traditional time-consuming day-end batch job. Such a real time data 

mining algorithm can speed up the whole mining process and provide immediate response to 

the user's input. Also, the association-rule discovery engine, clustering engine and 

personalization engine provided in ONE are fully integrated with each other to perform the

SERAP Project 

Project title: 

Magnetic Security Thread sensor to authenticate Magnetic 

security thread embedded inside new RMB or Euro bank-notes. 

A detector of this nature has been developed for both low and high-speed operation. 

Normally, low speed detector mil be incorporated into point of sales devices and high-speed 

detector to be incorporated into currency counters, deposit machines and currency sorting 

machines. 

Function of the detector: 

The detector is very reliable in authenticating the security thread embedded in Chinese 

RMB. In addition, with modification in software, the detector can also be used for 

authenticating other currencies with similar security feature. 

The detector is currently under evaluation by our potential users both locally and overseas. 

This detector can further develop into a verifier so that both professional users like bank's 

teller or retailers can use it to authenticate Chinese RMB and or other currencies if 

appropriate. 

With the experience gained from the development of aforesaid detector, we have also 

successfully developed a reliable verifier for Hong Kong Dollars and a detector to 

authenticate the specific ink (SID) used commonly in bank notes printing for both Hong 

Kong dollar and other currencies. With SID plus the aforesaid detector will definitely 

strengthen our position as bank notes authenticating components as well as verifier supplier. 

Industry Analysis 

Bank notes verification industry has long been dominated by a few major suppliers overseas 

due to their technical know how, which in terms are developed via their experience in 

automation in currency processing. These include automation in both professional markets 

like banking and non-professional market like vending machine industry. This is obvious 

when you look at the deposit machines, Octopus add value machines, ticketing machines etc., 

they are all foreign products. The core technology of such products is bank note 

authentication to accept only genuine bank notes by the machines. 

Due to relatively less competition, the cost of such machines or its bank notes acceptance 

module is very high. With increasing modernization in Hong Kong, China and other 

developing countries, demand for vending machines and automated currency processing 

equipment is huge worldwide. Consequently, demand for various bank notes authentication 

detector shall increase tremendously with the assumption that e-commerce will not totally 

replace cash as a major media of business transaction at retail level. 



415-

Furthermore, due to the confidential nature of the business in terms of data collection and 

analysis of security features of bank notes, it will be very difficult for new comers to enter the 

industry. Thus, competition will continue to remain at a reasonable level. 

Our competitive edge in the industry 

(1) Information access 

We are one of the very few new comers that can get access to bank notes security features 

authentication due to the unique background of our management staff members in bank notes 

paper manufacturing, automated currency processing and bank notes authentication. 

(2) Low cost 

Our capability to lower the cost of manufacturing detectors by: 

(a) making our product more software driven versus the traditional hardware driven, which 

makes our product more versatile to worldwide market as it is less costly to modify 

software to fit for other currencies. Apportionment of R & D investment with expand 

market size will lower our unit cost eventually and make our product more competitive in 

terms of pricing. 

(b) taking advantage of lower manufacturing cost in China drives our cost down when 

comparing with our European competitors. 

(3) Established relationship and reputation 

Via our management past experience in the industry, we have maintained good relationship 

with major vendors in the industry. Moreover, with our success in launching the U.S. Dollar 

verifier two years ago, good reputation has gained in the industry which give us better access 

to both currency processing equipment manufacturers and the end users as well. 

(4) Faster response to the market 

With a simple corporate structure and close contact with end users in the market gives us a 

much faster response in product development to meet the market demand. Our new Hong 

Kong Dollar verifier is classic in this respect as it takes us only four month to complete the 

design and ready to launch to the market within a month from circulation of the newly issued 

HKD 1,000 bank note.

SCOPE 

PharmacoGenetics Limited (PGL) is a Hong Kong - China based 

biotechnological company in the emerging field of genomics-based 

medicine. 

Taking advantage of its unique geographical position, PGL targets at the 

population of Chinese ethnic groups in the mainland and overseas. This is 

especially advantageous in view of the strategic alliances and partnership 

network that are rapidly building up in the region. 

The company aims at the growing market of individualized medicine, 

which is expected to be the future trend of medicine, and provides 

high-tech products and services for applications particularly in 

pharmarcogenomics and toxicogenomics. These include highthroughput 

SNPs detection, associations of SNPs with complex diseases, 

and differential with drug responses. 



-125-

PharmacoGenetics 

i:::;:::;.'.-;;;;.- 3CTLtmtf^j 

Pharmacogenetics is the study of genetic variation underlying 

differential response of patients to drugs, and pharmacogenomics 

applies the large-scale systematic approaches of genomics to speed 

up the discovery of drug response markers acting at the level of drug 

target, drug metabolism, or disease pathways. Pharmacogenetics 

establish correlations between the status of a chromosomal region and a 

disease or drug response trait in different individuals of a population, which in 

turn will provide valuable guides for discovering the genetic basis of even 

complex diseases, and for the design of individualized and optimized drug 

therapies for patients. 

Our Project 

Our goal is to establish DMA databases associating SNPs with diseases as well 

as drug responses. From these databases PGL will identify disease-genes and 

drug-response associated genes. These genes represent our knowledgebased 

products and also form the basis for the production of novel 

diagnostics and efficacious therapeutics. These proprietary diagnostic and 

therapeutic products will provide a main source of earnings for the growth of

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) 

A single nucleotide polymorphism, also known as "SNP" (snip), is a common 

alteration that occurs in a single nucleotide in a stretch of DMA. SNPs are 

thought to be old and stable mutations, and therefore more reliable for large 

studies than so-called microsatellite markers or "stutter" repeats, which can 

alter significantly over a few generations. Since SNPs are widely and evenly 

distributed throughout the genome, it should be possible to find one SNP per 

1000 bases. Some human SNPs may be involved in a disease process.

Our Competitive Edges 

Research Achlevemenf 

The striking advantage of being able to work on Chinese genes is illustrated by 

the announcement of Prof. Lin HE and Prof. Hong XUE, two of PGL's founding 

scientists, on two important genomic discoveries on the involvement of the 

serotonin transporter protein in mental diseases, and on a novel genetic 

defect in tooth formation: 

• Tentative association between the serotonin transporter with 

schizophrenia and unipolar depression but not with bipolar disorder in 

Han Chinese" Pharmacogenef/cs Vol 9 no.4 pp.491-495 

• "Congenital Absence of Permanent Teeth in a Six-Generation Chinese 

Kindred" American Journal of Medico! Genetics Vol 90 no. 3 pp.193-198 

Unique Position 

Because many of the SNPs to be found in China are expected to be different 

from SNPs found elsewhere, the Chinese SNPs will be complementary to the 

SNPs elsewhere consequently. The pooling together of which will lead to 

valuable pharmacogenomic and disease-gene relationships. 

Accordingly, by establishing a valuable position in the field of Chinese SNP, 

PGL will be able to grow rapidly, and collaborate with China and international 

consortiums on the collection and analysis of SNPs from China. The leading 

position of PGL scientists in HKUST and key research and treatment centers in 

China in the area of brain protein genes, and bioinformatics will greatly 

facilitate progress in this task.

ordinance into system requirements. Progressive has also developed our knowledge and 

expertise throughout this process. 



-131-

i£5s^ 

In our marketing for our MPF products, we understand that apart from computerizing the MPF 

administration, employers in Hong Kong also require a lot of help to make MPF contributions 

timely and accurately. To make the whole MPF implementation successful, Progressive has 

also developed a series of MPF payroll software including "Pay Easy" for SME and "MPF 

Adapter" for large institutions. Our commitment in system upgrade for regulation changes and 

strong after sales support provides comfort to our trustees who distribute this free payroll 

system to the MPF clients. 

The potential market for provident fund is very significant in Asia Pacific, with our successful 

implementation experience in MPF, we strongly believe MPF-Pro will be the best business 

solution for provident fund administration in the region. 

After sales support services 

The availability of local support is one of the major reasons that our trustees have selected to 

use MPF-Pro. Progressive does not only provide regular support service, we are determined to 

offer first class after sales services to our customers. During the first six months after the 

commencement of MPF, we offer a 24-hour extended services to our MPF-Pro users. 

As for the end users of our payroll solutions, we also align with Tradelink to provide a strong 

hot line support service in handling any query on the functionality of the system. Tradelink has 

a call center with over 80 hot line support staff that provides value-added services that the 

employers can rely on. 


Progressive Technology Limited has chosen Mandatory Medical as our SERAP 

development project as we are very experienced in studying government ordinance and 

translating them into system requirements and developing systems for the users. As 

Mandatory Medical also handles contributions from the employer/employee, we will also 

enhance our existing provident fund system to handle the medical contribution. An 

integrated provident fund and medical contribution system will certainly reduce the 

workload of the employer and the insurance company. The target buyers are the insurance 

companies and banks and they are the same for the MPF market.

RSM Technologies Limited 

I. The Company 

RSM Technologies Limited was founded as a technology company in November 2000 in the 

Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, headed by Prof. Ping Sheng. The team consists 

of professionals from the field of Physics, Civil Engineering and business. The company is 

currently focused on the development of a low cost and effective sonic material for sound 

insulation at low frequencies for commercial, residential, and industrial applications, including 

sound shield in highways, subways, noise insulation in engines, and soundproof walls or 

partitions. 

n. Products 

Nowadays, social and economic development in metropolitan areas are creating ever 

increasing sources of noise and higher noise levels. Such environmental noise are not just an 

nuisance, but prolonged exposure in a noisy environment may lead to health problems such as 

impaired hearing, anxiety, fatigue and other symptoms. Therefore, effective and affordable 

noise control is essential in a functional and enjoyable living and working environment. 

Disadvantages of conventional soundproofing materials 

Conventional soundproofing materials can be roughly divided into 2 major types: 

* Absorptive type materials, such as fiber insulation or acoustic foam. These materials are 

mostly effective at frequencies above 500Hz. At lower frequencies, however, noise 

attenuation becomes significantly less effective. 

• Earner type materials, such as gypsum boards or lead sheets. These materials typically 

reflect sound making use of strong impedance mismatch. Sound attenuation of these 

materials relies on the "mass-density law" which say that a sound insulating layer has to be 

10 times thicker at lOOHz than at lOOOHz in order to achieve the same level of attenuation. 

This makes these conventional materials too thick and heavy and thus not practicable in 

many applications. 

As a general rule, it is easy to attenuate high frequency noise while it is difficult to shield low 

frequency noises (noise frequency under SOOHz) by using the above conventional materials.

RSM Technologies Limited 

The breakthrough: RSM material 

RSM has developed an advanced composite material based on the concept of sonic 

resonance, which is particularly effective in blocking low frequency sound. The new sonic 

material has the following advantages: 

• It breaks the "mass-density law". As a result, our new composite material can achieve 

superior low frequency attenuation while using thin, light-weight, and low cost constituents. 

Our end products are therefore much less bulky than currently available materials. 

• It can be designed to target one or a particular set of frequencies where attenuation is most 

crucial (e.g., diesel engines, lawnmowers, etc. where noise is peaked at about 200Hz). 

• The components of the new material are readily available and economical. It is also easy to 

integrate the composites with current commercial building materials. 

Applications 

Several direct applications of the materials including commercial, residential, and 

industrial applications are listed as follow: 

• Interior partitions for soundproofing used in both residential and commercial buildings for 

blocking noise from the outside or neighboring rooms. 

• Noise enclosure of noise-emitting machinery such as lawnmowers, milling machines, airconditioning 

units and power generators. 

• Noise insulation panel of commercial establishments such as bars and disco that blast loud 

music. 

• Noise barriers for traffic noises, e.g. highways, railways, and airports etc. 

m. SERAP project 

The phase-I of the SERAP project aims at the fabrication of prototypes with soundproofing 

capability superior to commercially available materials at low frequencies.

Development Limited 

Who We Are 

Established in early 2000, SinoSky Technology is a wireless infrastructure and software application 

developer. It is a pioneer in the development of Wireless Interactive Streaming Technology (WIST) and 

SkyStream, the first commercially launched Internet-based integrated streaming quotation and stock 

trading application on the PDA platform. 

Our Market Opportunity 

With the rapid development of 2.5G/ 3G, Blue tooth technology and new wireless handheld devices, 

wireless data communication will be a major growth area in the coming decade. By 2004, over 1.5 

billion wireless phones/ handheld device users will be in use globally, and only half as many is expected 

to use the Web using PC connection. Thus, wireless Internet access has the potential to outpace the wired 

Internet. While Web users tend to spend much time browsing, wireless web users will be on-line to 

capture real time and event driven information, communicate inter-actively with their vendors as well as 

making transactions. 

For the majority of Asian markets, on-line stock trading and banking has just accelerated into its growth 

phase. IDC predicts that 40% of trades in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan markets will be done online 

by 2004, which currently stands at less than 5%. This growth in financial e-commerce combined 

with high mobile devices penetration in these markets will lead to significant demand for complete 

wireless solution for the financial services industry. 

Our Vision 

We believe the wireless platform is an inevitable addition to the existing contact points and delivery 

channels used by stockbrokers and banks for their employees as well as customers. Wireless 

connectivity will be considered an ordinary channel as wired telephone and fax services are today. 

SinoSky will positions itself as a leading provider of wireless infrastructure and application provider for 

the financial services industry powering leading players as well as network carriers a complete wireless 

web solution. 

Our Business Model 

SinoSky primarily licenses its technology and application software to enterprises but also provides an 

ASP model for enterprises who prefer not to host the infrastructure. Consultation, customization and 

maintenance services are also provided. 



-141-

The flexibility of WIST middleware allows our technology team to develop new front-end solutions 

tailored to customers' needs as well as adding new Business Logics to create new products. While our 

first commercially launched SkyStream Killer Application is designed specifically for individual 

investors, mobile sales solutions will also be available to mobile sales force of banks, unit trust 

companies and insurance companies. 

Our People 

SinoSky's Management team has extensive experience in the financial services industry and our 

technology team has strong background and expertise in financial related technology, multi-operating 

systems, SQL database and Object Oriented programming. Our understanding of both the business and 

technology requirements of the financial services industry best enable us to deliver powerful, easily 

deployed and user-friendly software applications, particularly to this sector. 

Our Technology - Wireless Interactive Streaming Technology 

Mobile devices have very limited computing power compare to their desktop counterparts. On top of 

that, the narrow bandwidth available at the moment and the unpopular WAP experience clearly 

demonstrate users' intolerance to slow and inefficient performances. Our immediate challenge is 

therefore, to build applications that can match performances to those for desktop computers. To tackle 

this problem, we decided to adopt Multi-Tier Architecture (MTA) so as to minimize the workload on 

mobile devices. 

MTA provides the fastest time to market for distributed applications through the seamless integration of 

front-end thin-clients and middleware technology. Its server-based business logic and database 

connectivity make applications responsive to changing business needs while its advanced, thin-client 

database architecture delivers powerful distributed applications. 

For these reasons, we have chosen MTA to be the backbone for developing our middleware oriented 

'Wireless Interactive Streaming Technology' which enables enterprises to utilize 2G/2.5G and 3G to 

deliver real time streaming and interactive data to their customers and employees on all mobile 

platforms. 



-142-

Our Products - 'SkyStream' Applications 

We have commercially launched the first of our series of Killer Applications SkyStream with leading 

Hong Kong stockbroker, KGI in June 2001 followed by Dao Heng Securities in July. The launches have 

been a success and have attracted much press and industry attention. 

With SkyStream, stockbrokers can enable their clients using PDAs to receive streaming stock market data 

and trade anytime, anywhere through a secure platform with SSL 128 bit encryption. The brokers can 

adopt their existing wire-line Internet infrastructures and trading engines and do not have to invest in a 

new set of mobile technology infrastructure; customization and interface can be completed within 4 

weeks. As and when a broker desires, users may receive streaming data of other global markets and trade 

other financial instruments including funds, options, warrants, FX, etc. 

In addition, our SkyStream servers can be integrated into the broker/bank's own data banks to provide 

more customized services such as real time alerts, portfolio management, margin control and interactive 

message broadcasting including multi-media information. SkyStream is an Internet based application and 

the technology supports multiple operating systems adopted by Pocket PCs, PDAs and PDA Phone 

vendors. 

In Q4 of 2001, we will be bringing out other SkyStream based platforms for Foreign Exchange and 

Equity Derivatives products such as options and warrants.

Arnaud holds a Diploma of Applicated Arts and Industry in Paris, France. He has been involved in 3D design, 

calibrating monitor, digital processing and 3D CAD programming ever since his graduation. 

///. Products/Services 

Concept & Functionality 

Traditional pattern construction is based mainly on manual calculations and human experience. It involves the 

drawing of 2D blocks of patterns, which are subsequently assembled to form the 3D shape of garment to fit the 

human body. This approach has a number of inherent deficiencies: 

1. It requires a huge amount of manual skills, the lack of which will produce 'ill-fitting' clothes; 

2. The lack of mathematical relationship among different parts of the pattern blocks makes pattern construction 

work impossible to be automated. Any modification in shape or style will require the whole work to be 

redone, resulting in long product development time. 

TPC employs a completely different approach by starting with a series of human body data obtained from a 3D 

body scanner (see Fig. 1) and employing advanced computer graphic applications to smoothen the 3D body 

image into a framework consisting of regular mesh. The treated image (called "Virtual Mannequin") can be 

deformed into whatever shapes based on different human body profiles obtained from scanning. Through a 

process of human body structural definition, a set of reference lines is obtained as the key parameters for the 

construction of garment patterns based on the TPC 3D pattern concept method (see Fig. 2). 3D relationalgeometry 

is used to automatically convert 3D pattern constructions into 2D pattern blocks. The pattern blocks 

thus created are akin to those stripped off from a 3D garment form, making the attainment of "fit" much easier.

Fig. 2: TPC Reference Line Definition & 

Pattern Construction 

"Intelligent" features of TPC approach: 

1, "Automatic pattern regeneration" — the "TPC Reference Line" can be expressed digitally in the form of a 

measurement chart. By changing the parameters in the measurement chart, mathematical relationships 

will allow the pattern blocks to be automatically regenerated (see Fig. 3); 

2. "Reactive" capability - any change in the angle, curve or length on one part of the pattern will 



-154-

TPC (UK) LIMITED TECHNICAL FASHION 

CONSULTANCY 

automatically trigger changes in the adjacent parts to which it will join. This makes the change in style and 

construction much faster and easier, and the resulting patterns more accurate; 

3. Automatic grading - pattern blocks created with TPC technique can be graded into all sizes accurately and 

automatically (see Fig. 4); 

4. Compatibility with most CAD/CAM platforms (Gerber, Lectra, Assyst, etc.) to generate garment patterns 

for manufacturing. 

Fig. 3: Automatic Pattern Regeneration 

Fig. 4: TPC Automatic Grading Concept 

Value Proposition 

TPC's innovative 3D garment engineering technology will bring enormous value to the garment industry by 

streamlining the whole logistics, in particular: 

1. Significantly reducing lead time in product development through the automation of pattern creation process. 

This is particularly important to an industry characterized by high style variation, low quantity per SKU and 

extremely short shelf life; 

2. Drastically reducing the chance of producing "ill-fitting" clothes which will have to clear at heavy discounts. 

Studies show that at least 50% of lost sales opportunities and sales returns (typical for catalog and online 

sales) are due to "fit" problems. TPC provides an effective means to address such inefficiencies; and 

3. Effectively controlling costs. By reducing the dependence on human skills, manufacturers have greater 

flexibility to relocate production to more cost-effective centers. 

As a pioneer in offering this unique technology, TPC will in turn reap great benefits from the revolutionary 

changes it is going to bring to the global garment industry. 

TPC technology has already been adopted by a number of sizable manufacturers in various garment product 

specialties in Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, Thailand and Europe. It has proved to be able to enhance the 

aesthetics, comfort and motion functionality of a piece of garment, thereby offering the feeling of 'well-fit' and 

'nice-looking'. This is one of the essential elements that distinguishes some renowned European fashion names 

from others. TPC technology offers manufacturers an unprecedented means to enhance the value of their 

products which will in turn increase the opportunities of export and trade of their residing countries.

The SERAP project TPC is working on aims at constructing master pattern blocks for men's trousers (Phase I) 

and polo shirts (Phase II) using TPC technology. The master block will be in the form of an outfit on computer on 

which operators can insert styling details. A proprietary software to be developed will turn the block into a 

complete set of industrial patterns automatically. This software will facilitate a more extensive application of 

TPC technology. For inexperienced operators/technicians, they may make use of TPC technology to create 

accurate patterns. For experienced technicians, TPC technology will help enhance accuracy and efficiency of 

pattern construction. Other than data for the above-mentioned basic styles that will go with the software, TPC 

will continue to develop data for styles such as blazers, suits, ladies' dress, and children's wear. 

Besides the master blocks, human morphological studies conducted in this project will also enable TPC to gather 

valuable human body data to be transformed into measurement charts in e-files and "virtual mannequins" for use 

in all pattern design activities. Simply input the required body measurements, pattern designers can easily 

identify the virtual mannequin that represents the model's body profile, and use the mannequin as a medium to 

construct garments of all sizes to fit people with the same profile (see Fig. 5).

VISUAI IAVA 

I. The Company and Products 

Java Enterprise Platform Technology, or J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition), has 

found widespread adoption around the world, enabling powerful new e-business applications as 

well as integration of disparate legacy information systems. It provides the software 

infrastructure support for supply-chain, CRM, e-commerce, e-banking, e-services, Web-based 

data entry and retrieval, and many other mission-critical enterprise applications. 

Despite the growing popularity of J2EE, market studies indicate that 

a 

Q 

a 

Satisfaction level of the existing products is low 

There is plenty of room for technology innovations amidst the continual evolution of 

J2EE standards 

There is no dominant J2EE platform provider in the Asia region 

Over the past two years, TCC has focused intensively on the R&D of Java Enterprise Platform 

Technology. The R&D efforts are now bearing fruits. TCC is positioned with a unique vantage 

point to exploit the above niches. 

TCC products, under the brand name of Rexip (Rex - IP), offer many competitive advantages 

compared to the best in the world, particularly with respect to speed performance, reliability, 

and real-time remote monitoring capability. These are characteristics rated as top concerns 

among Java developers in market studies. 

The founders and R&D staff come from strong technology backgrounds in academic and 

previous highly successful high-tech startups in Hong Kong and Silicon Valley. TCC is at a 

turning point: successful expansion of sales and marketing operations into US, China, Taiwan, 

and other regions can reap huge returns.

ffl. Business Model, Market Potential and Competitive Advantages 

TCC is in the business of providing easy-to-use Java platform products on top of which highperformance 

Java enterprise applications can be built and run. There are two targeted customer 

groups: 

1. Solution providers or in-house developers of corporate IT departments 

2. Standard-product software vendors who license Rexip products in bulk 

In essence, the customers of Rexip are applications developers. The brand name Rexip refers to 

a family of products that adhere to the J2EE standard and enhancements that ease J2EE 

programming. 

The global market size of J2EE products was around US$2 billion in 2000 and estimated to 

grow to US$7 billion by 2004. Successful penetration of the market will most likely yield much 

higher return. 

The competitive advantages of our products can be summarized as follows: 

1. High performance in terms of speed and reliability 

2. State-of-the-art features deemed to be important in customer survey but lacking in 

competitor products. 

3. First-mover in implementing upcoming Java standards that have received favorable 

review by developer communities 

As an example of 1, the following figure shows the throughput advantage of Rexip application 

server product compared with competitor products in terms of the number of Web requests that 

the server can process per second, demonstrating an improvement factor approaching to 50%.

As an example of 2, the following figure shows a JMX-based — a new Java standard - remote 

monitoring tool that allows the system administrator to tap into the server to find out whether it 

is operating with maximal efficiency, filling a hole in existing J2EE products. E-mail 

correspondence with Brian Maso, a known expert reviewer of Java technology, reflects the 

interest in this technology: "/'// put evaluating your app server on my to-do list. I'm very 

interested right now in app servers with JMXcapabilities... " 

State-of-the-Art Remote Monitoring Tool Allowing Access to Mission-Critical Systems to 

Monitor its Health from Any where. Any time. 

As an example of 3, TCC has implemented the Java Data Objects (JDO), an upcoming standard 

that is slated to overcome a number of major shortcomings of the current J2EE specification. 

Currently, only very few vendors have the complete JDO technology. TCC is one of them. The 

JDO site operated by Sun Microsystems, accessl.sun.com/jdOj has a direct link to 

www.rexip.com. an acknowledgement that Rexip is one of the key players to reckon with. 

TCC is now riding on an inflexion point at which its R&D efforts are churning out state-ofthe-art 

technologies at an unsurpassed speed. If the products can be matched by swift execution 

of well-planned Sales and Marketing strategies, TCC will be on its way to become a worldclass 

company. After months of preparation and market research, complemented by 

examination and re-examination, testing and re-testing, of alternative plans based on feedback 

from potential customers, we believe we have found the right positioning angle for Rexip 

products. Our attack on the market will be launched in full scale at lightning speed as soon as 

second-round financing is secured.

Waste & Environmental Technologies Ltd. 

Company Profile & Team 

With demands from most industries & communities, Waste & Environmental Technologies 

Ltd (WET), was formed in 1998 to provide one stop solution for pollution control. The 

company is technological orientated, helping the customer with practical know-how, which 

means value for money. 

WET grows rapidly in the past three years with high revenue increment annually. The growth 

of the company is not limited to the Product Sales and also achievement from our Research 

and Development works. The strength would be from Young Professionals, Experienced 

Engineers, Information Technologies, Cooperation with Universities and hands-on training 

for staff locally and aboard. 

Products/Services/Achievements 

Air 

WET Invented the "WetDust" Dust Suppression System and received an Eco-Products Award 

from the committee consisting of The Center of Environmental Technologies Ltd, The 

Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong 

Kong and The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce. The system provides a much 

better environment for construction workers to avoid air-borne dust. 

Wastewater 

WET launched the first Impinging Stream Reactor 

for wastewater treatment lately named as "WetSep" 

and applied patent worldwide. The development of 

the "WetSep" Wastewater Filtration System has 

received financial support from the Government and 

later received the Certificate of Merit in Hong Kong 

Industry Award 1999. 

Solid waste 

Again, WET has successfully applied the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) under the 

Small Entrepreneur Research Assistance Programme (SERAP) from the Innovation and 

Technology Commission for a green project on the recycling of plastic wastes. For R & D, we 

joined the Admission of Talent Scheme and employed a specialist (Ph.D degree holder from 



-171-

Mainland China) in 2001. 


The SERAP Project 

Plastic and paper/wood waste represent over 70% of the dumping to the local landfills 

(approximately 4,000 tons/day). Green Technologies would turn these forgettable resources 

into profitable structural materials. Traditional method would be using tropical hardwood for 

making marine fender. Even without any heavy impact or wearing, it will corrode and 

degrade naturally with life span limited to 2 to 3 years. A solid timber of profile 300mm x 

300mm will take more than 70 years to grow. 

Thanks to the support from SERAP, the research and development in the green technology 

become possible. In the past fifteen months, WET has put the greatest effort and traveled 

extensively to look for the most sustainable technology for the recycling of plastic waste. 

With assistance from local and oversea academies and research institutes, we have obtained 

large volumes of literatures and found positive solutions to our queries. 

' 

At present, our achievement does not limit to the 

manufacturing method but also extended to the 

followings: 

Collection of plastic wastes 

Sorting for mixed materials 

Volume reduction for solid wastes 

Alternative supply to valuable hard-woods 

Generation of energy from plastic wastes 

Business opportunities in green technology 

Creation of a new market trend in consumer 

With supports from Government and the potential target users, there is a great market for 

these green products due to its outstanding properties, wide industrial and recreational 

applicability and competitiveness in price. 



-172-


tn 

As mentioned before, this period of fifteen 

months provided a golden opportunity to 

our company and all of our staff. Our 

sincerity in getting this project 

successfully has drawn great attention 

from the publics. Recently, WET has been 

appointed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club 

to organize the Green Child Campaign for 

50,000 students at the Shatin Race Course. 

The theme of the campaign was "Learning 

the Recycled Plastics". 

Business Forecast 

From the information and news released from the Government and the press, the estimated 

budget on the application of plastic marine fender would be approximately 200 million HK 

dollars for the up-coming 6-7 years. Our success in reusing and recycling local waste 

materials into profitable green products would be able to sustain our company for the coming 

10 years with secured revenue. 

"WetSep" Wastewater Filtration System 

Being no difference to any other companies, it would not be sustainable without a core 

business. Our "bread and butter" comes from our innovative design of the patented "WetSep" 

filtration system. Recently, we have provided a solution for the construction run-off from the 

Pinglin Tunnel in Taipei. This remarkable project draws great attention to the citizen in 

Taiwan and worldwide specialists due to the difficulties in handling of the enormous flow of 

underground water and large volume of effluent during grouting inside an underground tunnel 

of depth 250m.
