North American Satellite Corporation

To meet the demand for low-cost satellite and wireless ground remote tank and home monitoring for the Natural Gas Liquids and other related industries, North American Satellite Corporation (NASCorp) has increased its patent pending (U.S. and International) SkyTracker™ processor (SkyBrain™) from four (4) tracking/reporting functions to simultaneously perform 1,000 analog or 4,096 digital tasks. In addition, SkyTracker™ now boasts Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) patented technology. SENS allows satellite sensing or tracking of data and/or assets, which are registered in NASCorp's SkyTracker™ system. Each NASCorp SENS SkyTracker™ transmits to 8 orbital satellites to provide multiple redundancies in information collection and data transfer at each customer location. Every 30 days 2,880 satellite passes are made over each SkyTracker™, for a total of 43,200 minutes of monitoring. NASCorp's SENS SkyTracker™ will reach customers in 120 countries worldwide through GlobalStar's fleet of 48 satellites. SkyTracker's™ flat array antenna utilizes the same technology as XM Radio and GM's On-Star satellite antennas and is produced by the same manufacturer as the XM and On-Star component. Quality and dependability is our guarantee to our Dealers.

SkyBrain™ Processor: As in "The Wizard of Oz", NASCorp' has a scarecrow. But, unlike the scarecrow in "Oz", ours has a brain. So does our SkyTracker™ wireless liquid level tank and home monitors. We call it SkyBrain™, a patented process of SkyTracker™. The unique intelligence of SkyTracker™ offers a complete home profile management system, including company managed services and orbital satellite tank monitoring, through SkyTracker's™ use of Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) technology. NASCorp's SkyTracker™ combines satellite communications, allowing monitoring and tracking of data at any remote location via satellite, with a processor (brain). SkyTracker's™ processor is a patent pending process called SkyBrain™. Because of SkyBrain™, each SkyTracker™ includes an internal Degree Day Recorder to allow SkyTracker™ to accumulate and record weather patterns at each customer location of a propane dealer where any SkyTracker™ is installed. SkyTracker™ records "real-time" data, including tank levels and other SkyHome Monitoring™ and SkyHelp Services™. SkyTracker™ can then forecast projected Degree Day patterns for the most reliable delivery, tank, and home monitoring system ever.

SkyTracker™ Internal Degree Day Recorder Features:

• K-Factor Calculation(s).
• Out-Of-Ordinary Event Notice(s).
• Stuck Tank Gauge.
• Customer Away From Home (Lower usage than normal).
• Leak Detection.
• Vapor Use Calculation(s) (When Liquid Outage is Reached).

From "real-time" information, gathered at each SkyTracker™ site, SkyTracker™ will automatically calculate any customer's K-Factor. SkyTracker's™ SkyBrain™ will then perform a Customer Profitability Analysis (CPA) on each tank investment of a propane dealer where asset investment data and product sales margins are input into the SkyTracker™ system. This is another patent pending service of NASCorp's SkyTracker™ that costs the propane dealer nothing. SkyTracker's™ Degree Day System also forms the basis for SkyTracker's™ Out-of-Ordinary Event notice(s) i.e., stuck tank float gauge, open bleed valve, underground line leak, or any reduction in fuel level(s) not compatible with a customer's history and current weather patterns.

Supported by IBM: Upon evaluation of the world's computer hardware manufacturers, International Business Machines (IBM) was selected to support NASCorp's SkyTracker™ and the world's propane dealers who subscribe to SkyTracker™. IBM was chosen because IBM is still the standard to which all other systems are measured and configured to be compatible with. Data is redundantly posted to NASCorp's solely owned and operated clustered IBM servers, located in secure locations which are capable of surviving a natural calamity or terrorist attack. NASCorp's co-location provider, Level (3) Communication, an IBM affiliate, warrants a 99.999% system up-time. Both active and passive mirror servers operate 24/7/365 along with three fully functional back-up servers to take the load in the event of full system failure. Duplicate on-site storage servers are also part of the equation, along with redundant off-site back-ups. Active and Passive back-ups are performed every 30 seconds. Over 16,000 dealers can access their customer's information simultaneously; and not slow NASCorp's servers by more than a millisecond.

Data Security: A Dealer sending data over NASCorp's SkyTracker™ secured network, to be recovered only through SENS satellite decoders, SkyTracker's™ reliable transmissions of "real-time" data cannot be detected, much less intercepted, by any other system other than the already patented SENS system. Furthermore, each SkyTracker™ also uses a unique ID that cannot be modified. In short, SkyTracker™ can gather information from locations far beyond current terrestrial or telepathic networks and Dealers can recover their customer's information on NASCorp's Secured Socket-Layered 64-128 bit encrypted Web-based SkyTracker™ Internet access site from any PC anywhere in the world. All posted customer information is color-coded for "At-A-Glance" status acknowledgement(s). A Dealer's peace of mind is NASCorp's ultimate goal.

How SkyTracker™ Works:While SkyTracker™ has been developed exclusively and expressly for remote-based propane customer storage tanks, it works anywhere where 15° of sky is available. Direction not a factor; so SkyTracker™ does not need to face South, just the sky. Upon installation of SkyTracker™ hardware at your customer's location and entry of your customer's data in SkyTracker's™ passcode-protected encrypted web-based software system, you will have access to your customer's tank fuel inventory level(s) from practically anywhere. This service is provided by NASCorp FREE to the Dealer and/or the Dealer's End-user(s) who subscribe to basic and advanced services of SkyTracker™ (Excludes Wi-Fi or other Internet access fees or rental(s) of PC equipment).

NASCorp's SkyBrain™ (processor) accumulates data to be transmitted from the customer propane storage tank(s), close contact sensors i.e., CO detector(s), propane detector(s), appliances, smoke detector(s), security sensors and etc. and the on-board processor's Degree Day Recorder and history log. Data is then relayed to SkyTracker's™ internal Simplex Transmitting Unit ("STU"). From the STU, data is sent through the noise spectrum at the speed of light to Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellites via SkyTracker's™ flat array antenna. From the LEO satellites data is forwarded to ground stations around the globe, ultimately reaching SkyTracker's™ patented SENS decoders. SkyTracker™ tank and home data cannot be intercepted, much less decoded, without the benefit of SkyTracker's™ patented SENS decoders. From SENS portals Dealer/Customer data is pulled by NASCorp's IT staff and processed into usable, but encrypted, information which Dealers and their subscribing customers (End-users) may retrieve from NASCorp's passcode-protected Website. Dealers and their subscribing customers can access their data from any computer terminal anywhere in the world just by entering their own personal user name(s) and passcode(s) (passcodes are not filed by or remembered by any NASCorp staff member or vendor affiliates. NASCorp cannot recover any Dealer's or their subscriber's (End-user) passcodes, but a Dealer or End-user who has forgotten their passcode can instruct NASCorp's processor to assign a new passcode if all security check(s) are proven).
