realSens Demo

Synodon Inc. is an advanced remote sensing technology company which has developed a
proprietary platform technology called realSens™ (the "Technology") that may be capable of
measuring very small ground-level gas concentrations from an aircraft flying up to 300 meters in
altitude.
The underlying technology and detection principle of realSens™ was developed and proven
through Canada's Space Program by the University of Toronto and Canadian Space Agency and
then further refined by Synodon's scientists. The Technology is capable of passively and
remotely sensing ground-level concentrations of a wide variety of gases such as methane, ethane
and other hydrocarbon based gases as well as ammonia, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
Unlike the space technology on which it is based, which measures gases from instruments located
in earth's orbit (typically 100 to 700 km altitude), realSens™ is intended to do so from within the
atmosphere.
The potential applications for realSens™ are very broad as it could be applied to various
circumstances that require the remote measurement of ground-level gas concentrations such as:
hydrocarbon emissions, pollution monitoring, industrial emission inventory, hazardous gas
monitoring during emergencies, greenhouse gas emission inventory, illegal drug manufacturing
detection, chemical weapon monitoring and other military and security based applications. For
each one of these applications, a targeted, slightly modified version of the Technology could be
used as each specific instrument can be built to measure one to four primary gases such as
ammonia, benzene, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.
