October 7 - Angstrom Microsystems Sets a New Standard for Power-Efficient, High-Performance Computers

Company Deploys an Innovative New Line of Servers That Use Significantly Less Power Than Competing Solutions From HP and Sun

Angstrom Microsystems Corp. (OTCBB: AGMS), a market leader in "green computing" solutions, announced the launch of its CoolAir product line, a 21st-Century family of solutions that has raised the bar for an industry notorious for its massive power consumption. Angstrom CoolAir computers have the same or greater performance, but use significantly less power than competing products from IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems.

With up to 20% more energy efficiency than its competitors, Angstrom's CoolAir servers provide much needed energy and air-conditioning relief for facilities that house large amounts of computers, called "data centers." Like the name suggests, data centers hold the enormous amount of information needed by many of today's companies to conduct normal business activities. And while these businesses grow, the need for more power grows as well, since the machines need to be cooled to function properly. Of course, while technology has greatly enhanced business efficiency around the globe, there is rapidly growing concern that the power needed to generate this new paradigm is one of the major contributors to global warming, which is generated by greenhouse gases.

The U.S., unfortunately, is one of the worst offenders. As the only developed country not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, a global treaty to reduce greenhouse gases, the U.S. has a worldwide reputation as a mass consumer of electricity that is not doing enough to reduce global warming. Many believe the next president will begin to change that because things are only getting worse. Data centers have grown in size, power and cooling needs as the demand for computing has increased. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that data centers have become a major user of power, soon generating 3% of all power consumed in the United States.

Targeting a specific niche, Angstrom markets to data centers that are severely limited in their growth due to power limitations. Often, over 50% of the power used is wasted on air-conditioning and transforming power coming from the street into something that a computer can use. This inefficiency is costing millions of dollars, contributing to global warming, and from a business perspective, slowing the necessary growth of these facilities.

Angstrom solves this problem. Through over eight years of research and development, Angstrom's energy efficient, high-end blade servers, workstations and software solutions have been designed to provide maximum performance and power efficiency, thereby reducing costs for clients and helping the environment as a whole.

"Many people don't realize that with respect to the automotive industry, there have been alternative power sources for vehicles since the time cars were invented," said Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom Microsystems. "But the sources were not efficient enough and demand from consumers was not strong enough to warrant the auto makers to mass produce cars that do not run solely on gasoline. Today is completely different. Just as the Toyota Prius and other hybrid vehicles have provided breakthrough gasoline savings, our CoolAir computers offer the next generation of energy efficient solutions that sip electricity -- not guzzle it down.

"Our customers have independently verified our CoolAir performance-per-watt superiority while seamlessly integrating it into our existing racks (a collection of Angstrom servers) without any modifications, thereby solving the dilemma of growth. The reduced consumption of energy by CoolAir extends the use of most existing data centers that have an air-conditioning and electricity ceiling, thus saving millions of dollars in build-out costs. We are very pleased to provide such a ground-breaking solution to a global problem."

October 7 - Royale Energy Makes New Discovery

First Deeper Natural Gas Well in Starkey Sands

Royale Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROYL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced it has discovered natural gas in its Andrus Island East well in the Sacramento Basin of California which was drilled as part of its 2008-A drilling project. The well was drilled to 7,000 ft. and logged pay in two natural gas filled sands in the Nortinville formation at 3,350 ft. and 3,800 ft. The deeper Starkey Channel was penetrated at 6,500 ft. and encountered 26 ft. of high porosity and permeable natural gas filled sands.

"The Company had drilled four commercially productive wells to the shallower Nortinville formations on Andrus Island, noted Donald Hosmer Royale Energy CEO. "This was the first attempt to drill to the deeper Starkey objective. The deeper objective in the well was higher risk but because of the potential upside the Company felt the risk was justified."

After completing and testing the Starkey sand in the Andrus Island East well, it was flowing over 1,000,000 cubic ft. of natural gas per day on a 12/64 choke with strong casing and tubing pressure. The two shallower Nortinville formations remain behind pipe for future completions.

"Additional Starkey wells may also be drilled to increase reserves in the future," stated Donald Hosmer.
