A company called Matrixview is currently piloting a new compression technology called Adaptive Binary Optimisation ('ABO') in Singapore. The methodology that lies behind this focused on bit-plane architecture which generates lossless compression at a significantly higher compression ratio than alternatives (at least any I have heard of). For example they are achieving over 30x lossless compression on electrocardiographs. Additionally, they are launching test kits today to selected partners for documentation applications.
I'll communicate more as things become clearer. Anyone familiar with these guys?
according to their "whitepaper" bottom of page 8 they have "taken Shannons theory a step further and shown that data can be transmitted independent of channel restrictions". Wow, it sounds as if somebody finally found the Holy Grial !!! Does anybody know where they sell these "Compression technology breaktrhrough startup company do it your self" kits?
Firstly, you can check out the company at www.matrixview.net Secondly, the reason that I sent this from google in Singapore is (as I am sure you are aware) that it is more convenient to access newsgroups this way in Singapore owing to censorship laws. Finally, since I provided my email address (and please dont bother abusing it as I have good anti-spam software) I think that it is clear that I wasn't hiding anything. I remain hopeful that this newsgroup is a forum for some substantive discussion. regards, Fraser

Wasn't hiding anything. That's why you're original post was meant to look like you stumbled accross this new company and wanted more info. I'll quote.
"I'll communicate more as things become clearer. Anyone familiar with these guys?"
Seeing how you're from the company you're just trying to drum up attention by looking like an innocent third party. The funny thing is you think this is original and that nobody has done it before. In fact this happens quite often in sci.crypt in the form of
"Hey guys, I just found unbreakable encryption software at www.somesite.com, any comments?"
And the link will be to a company peddling snake oil. The person almost always directly tied to the company [often squeals when cornered].
So why don't you just stop pretending that you're legit and go hide your M@trixVi3w software where the sun don't shine.

Discussion for what reason? A company has come up with an idea and are selling it. I don't see what is there to discuss -- unless you plan to buy their product and are asking for suggestions. Your original post didn't seem to indicate this, as Tom pointed out already.
And BTW, anti-spam software stops spam. It wouldn't stop someone from sending you 100 private messages, regardless of how good your anti-spam software is. Not that anyone here would do that -- who has the time? :)

According to their site, they claim to have made a technology breakthrough! Well, they have... and their site PROVES it! They are the VERY first ever site to post complete horse shit, and allow the end-user to actually smell it remotely... without the use of scratch & sniff!

Don't waste your time with them. Their claims (30x-300x compression) don't even match their description of the technology (1-bit per pixel is not 30x-300x compression). An it has all the typical signs of false/non working compression schemes we've seen over the years (no working demos, no real information, no other product, the company is only 2 years old, and the first point of business always seems to be to run out and have a web site.)
You'll find most people in this group will be very wary of such incredible (or should we say uncredible) claims and actual proof is needed (in the form of working software hopefully.). Even a simple demo would suffice, just a simple program that compresses 640x480 24-bit color photos 30x-300x losslessly (and decompresses them or course).

That's quite alright. Now, if someone else posts a new state-of-the-art algorithm, but you attribute it to me by accident, I won't correct you. :-)
