FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New Aspirating Smoke Detection Technology in USA is in a 'Class' by Itself

ClassiFire(R) perceptive artificial intelligence technology continuously
monitors for changes
PORTLAND, Ore. - Mar. 23, 2007 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- AirSense Technology,
leading manufacturer of aspirating smoke detection systems, introduces to the
North American market patented artificial intelligence (AI) technology for
Aspirating Smoke Detectors.

The unique technology employed in the AirSense Stratos Series Aspirating Smoke
Detection System uses relative sensitivity to establish appropriate alarm
thresholds. Only Stratos detectors use perceptive artificial intelligence
technology to automatically maintain alarm levels at optimal levels,
regardless of fluctuations in normal environmental smoke density.

Among its many features, Stratos

* Utilizes ClassiFire(R), a patented process that uses artificial
intelligence.

* Is fully automatic and does not need manual adjustment.

* Adjusts sensitivity to day/night, occupied/unoccupied, and

operational/non-operational levels with no requirements for an
external trigger input.
* Provides substantially earlier warning than fixed type aspirating
systems.

* Easily complies with agency product certification tests. that

requires any system to pass defined "slow-growth" fire test.

* Proven in tens of thousands of installations - worldwide.

ClassiFire(R) allows Stratos detectors to closely adapt to the working

environment, depending upon the degree of protection required, or to the type
of facility being protected. The detector samples air once per second and
passes smoke density information to ClassiFire(R). The detector is then able
to discriminate between normal ambient pollution levels and unusual
occurrences typically caused by the early development of a fire.
Stratos, among other aspirating smoke detector manufacturers, use a filter to
remove the majority of dust and contaminant from the sampled air. Over time,
as the filter becomes contaminated, it begins to filter out particles of
combustion from reaching the detection chamber. Only Stratos is equipped with
the means of sensing filter loading and responds by applying compensation
through ClassiFire to prevent sensitivity reduction. It also applies a
dedicated filter replacement warning before there is a possibility of reduced
compensation.

Most other brands of aspirating smoke detection systems utilizing a filtration

system lack the intelligence of compensating or even supervising for "true"
filter loading, subjecting the system to reduced sensitivity, without warning,
possibly to the extent of not detecting a fire at all.
