"This patent award is validation of the effort that has been put into creating this technology and the uniqueness it possesses in the marketplace," said Bryan Donaldson, lead developer at IntelliScience and co-recipient of the patent. "We have approached the challenge of pattern recognition from a new direction and given domain experts the ability to rapidly identify, classify and react to information previously not recognized by human operators or via other technology approaches."

Awarded on February 17, 2009, the patent – entitled Methods and Systems for Creating Data Samples for Data Analysis – protects the intellectual property foundation of the engine which provides the ability for a domain expert to quickly identify, classify and respond to information that may not be fully visible or apparent to the user.

"We are pleased that the US government has recognized the value and uniqueness of this technology and granted us the ability to protect it in a very competitive space," said Joe Daltoso, IntellIScience Chief Executive Officer. "There have historically been many technological approaches that have proven less than effective in assisting governments, doctors and professionals to efficaciously manage the massive amounts of data presented to them. In re-thinking the approach, we believe that we have created an engine that can quickly and accurately present users with information that enables them to perform their functions with more confidence and achieve better results."

IntelliScience Corporation is the sole developer and marketer of IntelliScience software. The company headquarters is in Boise, ID with its lead development office in Atlanta, Georgia. The software has broad applicability to the medical, government, military, financial, environmental and energy markets and is available to these markets directly or via OEM relationships. The company is classified as a small business and has received security clearance by the US government. For more information, visit the IntelliScience website at www.intelliscience.com.

"Improvised explosive devices pose a massive and significant threat to our military, defense, and homeland security forces. We are reminded of this every day as television news tickers stream the latest casualty count from IED attacks into our living rooms," said Joe Daltoso, Chief Executive Officer of IntelliScience. "We believe that our technology in the hands of trained military experts will diminish and minimize the effectiveness of this terrorist tactic."

IntelliScience software has demonstrated in government tests its ability to aid in the early detection of improvised explosive devices. IntelliScience patent pending technology alerts operators to known targets and anomalies that can cause destruction but may be missed by human evaluators. Using IntelliScience software, operators can "train" the characteristics of identified targets into a classification library that can then be shared with all similar image devices.

IntelliScience plays a strategic role in assisting operators and analysts search, find and automate the identification of threats as military investment in image capture and sensor systems increases exponentially. In the January 2010 issue of National Defense Magazine, Lt. General David A. Deptula, Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, sums up the situation this way: "We're going to find ourselves in the not too distant future swimming in sensors and drowning in data."

"The US military has invested significantly in image sensor devices and the capture of digital imagery to produce vast amounts of image files," said Matthew Holm, DTRA Director of Innovation. "With IntelliScience technology we will provide operators and analysts with enhanced visualization and intelligent analysis to react more quickly and confidently."

"DTRA has established a reputation as a significant source of innovation to the Department of Defense and our national security efforts," said IntelliScience CEO Joe Daltoso. "We are honored to have the opportunity to work with DTRA and develop intelligent imaging solutions to assist its mission and other military and government initiatives that can benefit from our image analysis technology."
