IXR Issued Third Patent

Australian Patent No. 735562

(Salt Lake City, UT--November 12, 2001)- Vivienne Joyce Thom, Commissioner of Patents, Commonwealth of Australia, has granted a Standard Patent to Bruce Ewert, CEO of IXR, Inc. Patent number 735562, titled "Dynamic real time exercise video apparatus and method," has a term of 20 years commencing on October 3, 1997. The priority date is October 4, 1996.

IXR believes this patent will further protect intellectual property Mr. Ewert has spent the last fifteen years developing. In combination with the two issued United States patents and an under-review Canadian patent application, IXR's physio-interactive video technology will have strong protection in most of the English-speaking world.

IXR's breakthrough Exerscape™ technology provides an unmatched level of realism by seamlessly varying the video rate of high-quality MPEG2 video. As Jim Taylor, noted author of "DVD Demystified", stated, "Exerscape is an unparalleled advancement of stunning simplicity." Originally conceived and invented by IXR founder Bruce Ewert, Exerscape™ enables high-quality digital video speed to be manipulated at will. Mr. Ewert, with his Speilbergian visage and varied sporting and technologic background, notes "this is another step of our quest to enthrall users as we continue to push the frontiers of realistic POV capture and user-driven displays, with real-time Internet connectivity!"

The Blackburn Motivator Interactive Real Video Training System is the first product based on the Exerscape™ variable rate digital video technology invented by IXR Corp. Exerscape smoothly varies the video speed under the control of the wheel speed. As you pedal faster, you go faster through the helmet cam video filmed on location. Self-selected music, played from the Internet or a CD, enhances the Exerscape experience. Workout data is saved for review. The Exerscape.com Web database will enable users to share their workout information with coaches, rehabilitation specialists, and others.

The Motivator is now for sale at Blackburn dealers for a suggested retail price of $399. It requires a 400 Mhz PC with Windows 98 or newer and a DVD ROM drive. An included hardware link connects the bicycle to the PC, transmitting speed and (optionally) heart rate to the Exerscape video program. The included first disc contains 18 rides in Moab, Utah, Monterey, California, and Paris-Roubaix, France, for a total of over three hours of healthy entertainment.
