• In its most recent oral nicotine study, Lexaria established that DehydraTECH-oral nicotine delivery peaked in bloodstream 10x to 20x faster than controls and peak levels achieved were up to 10x higher than controls
• Lexaria hopes to evidence in its upcoming human oral nicotine study NIC-H22-1, that processing purified nicotine with DehydraTECH leads to better oral-tissue absorption and reduced negative experiences compared to currently sold brands
• Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology works with new and existing drugs, processing them into a final form that increases bioavailability, speeds up onset and improves effectiveness that can allow for smaller doses
• The company also recently announced new agreements with tobacco giant Altria for evaluation of some of its powder-based nicotine formulations

Technology innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) has developed a drug delivery technology designed to increase bio-absorption, reduce time of onset and mask unwanted tastes of a wide variety of medicines and therapeutics. In exploring the potential of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology, which uses a proprietary process to render active pharmaceutical ingredients into a readily absorbable final form, Lexaria has investigated DehydraTECH’s effectiveness in various markets such as hypertension, antivirals and oral nicotine to name a few, with outstanding results. Another important area of study has focused on nicotine alternatives to replace smoking. This summer, the Company will begin a human clinical study, NIC-H22-1, which will dose a minimum of 36 people to compare Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance with that of existing brands such as ON! and Zyn currently sold in the United States, drawing on existing capital to fund the study (https://ibn.fm/Afcaq). Animal testing has already demonstrated that DehydraTECH-nicotine can deliver peak nicotine performance to the bloodstream 10 to 20 times faster than the study’s controls (https://ibn.fm/Nfn2Q). In March, the company received its first ever patent granted to use DehydraTECH to deliver nicotine more efficiently through buccal tissue absorption in Australia (https://ibn.fm/r4Tl6). Buccal tissue is the type of tissue in your mouth and throat, allowing for the nicotine to be primarily absorbed before it enters the stomach. Similar patent filings have been made in the U.S. and in the EU and Lexaria believes those potential patent awards could support significant competitive advantages in the nicotine white pouch category, as well as other oral nicotine product formats. The FDA has long resisted formal authorization of smokeless alternatives to tobacco consumption because of concerns about their capacity to lure youths into addiction. “Anyone who does not currently use tobacco products, especially youth, should refrain from doing so,” Acting FDA Commissioner Ned Sharpless, M.D., said in relation to the agency’s authorization for some “Modified Risk Tobacco Products” to be marketed as a safer alternative to smoking in recent months. But in 2019, Swedish smokeless brand General became the first in the long history of the FDA to ever win that marketing allowance. (https://ibn.fm/3VIC9). Lexaria has long held that any form of inhaling chemical substances can be detrimental to health, and its DehydraTECH-nicotine aims to help vapers as well as smokers wean themselves off of those products, giving them relief from cravings while offering a safer nicotine alternative. “My father also died from lung cancer … so I am no fan (of smoking),” CEO Chris Bunka told Forbes in 2019 (https://ibn.fm/3I6V0). “The fact that (DehydraTECH) is fast means that smokers might not be frustrated waiting for their nicotine experience to begin, the way they have been with traditional nicotine products such as gums and lozenges.” The company is working with the tobacco industry, and recently announced new agreements with tobacco giant Altria Client Services, LLC in which Lexaria will receive a fee to provide certain DehydraTECH powder-based nicotine formulations to Altria for evaluation (https://ibn.fm/Lttmz).

• Up to $400 million has been made available to support food purchases with emphasis on purchasing from underserved farmers, ranchers
• Agency strengthens efforts to provide emergency food assistance, expand economic opportunity
• ACTX GrowPods could be valuable tool in effort to build resilient local, regional food-production capabilities

In an effort to provide transform the food system and build a better food system after the global pandemic exposed weaknesses in the system, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) established a Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (“LFPA”) last year (https://ibn.fm/cXurt). Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), a company focused on the business of developing, manufacturing and selling advanced cultivation equipment, proprietary packaging systems, and a variety of other products, is ideally suited to help meet the needs of the new USDA initiative to build a new and more equitable food system (https://ibn.fm/uj0th). According to the USDA announcement, up to $400 million in funding has been made available to support food purchases with an emphasis on purchasing from underserved farmers and ranchers. “Also as part of the Build Back Better Food System Transformation Initiative, USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service is announcing the availability of up to $50 million in funds provided by the American Rescue Plan for the Emergency Food Assistance Program (“TEFAP”) Reach and Resiliency grants to state agencies to expand program access in rural, tribal, and other currently underserved areas,” the agency states. “These grants and the LFPA are both part of USDA’s robust and ongoing support for food banks and the broader emergency food system.” “One of the lessons from COVID-19 is that the current food system is too rigid, consolidated and fragile,” the agency stated when it announced established the program. “These cooperative agreements will help state, tribal and local entities purchase food more efficiently from local producers and invest in infrastructure that enables partner organizations to reach underserved communities more effectively. “As we build back better than we were before, we will strengthen our efforts to provide emergency food assistance and expand economic opportunity for historically underserved producers by allowing state and tribal governments to buy and distribute local and regional foods and beverages that are healthy, nutritious and unique to their geographic area.” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack noted that the program “will help get local and regional agricultural products into schools, food banks and other nutritional assistance programs, and organizations that reach underserved communities. It also advances our efforts to ensure that historically underserved populations gain equal access to USDA resources through a combination of grants, loans, pilot programs, technical assistance, cooperative agreements, and more.” According to Advanced Container Technologies, its GrowPods — modular hydroponic greenhouses — could become a valuable tool in this effort to build more resilient local and regional food production capabilities. “With GrowPods, cultivation can be moved directly into the areas where food is needed,” the company noted. “Additionally, locating the pods nearer to the point of consumption allows food to be harvested at its peak nutritional value, and greatly reduces the carbon and environmental impact of the nation’s current food chain, which relies on trucks carrying mass quantities of produce across the country.” GrowPods offer a controlled environment with major advantages for the production of high-value crops. The ability to grow crops year-round while cultivating in a smaller footprint using less resources make the systems particularly well suited for programs such as the LFPA. ACTX is the exclusive distributor of GrowPods in certain markets. The company also provides a variety of other products and services, including packaging solutions for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and agricultural products.

• LRDC Exec Mark See discussed management, focus and strategy during recent podcast interview
• Short supply, increasing demand means simple business plan
• Laredo is acquiring assets that are “smaller but meaningful,” says CEO

Laredo Oil (OTC: LRDC) chair and CEO Mark See was the featured guest in a recent Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/2e8xL). A seasoned veteran of the oil and gas sector, See talked shop with host Stuart Smith throughout the interview, discussing Laredo management, focus and strategy. “Our business is very simple. . . profitably produced domestic oil – that’s our business,” See said. “The executives and board members of Laredo have, on average, 30 to 40 years of experience in the oil and gas business. The conclusion that we came to [when founding the company more than 11 years ago] is that . . . we’re short on supply and demand is constantly increasing.” See observed that the curve is driven by social, political and ESG factors, but the fundamentals are still there. “We looked at this and said, ‘What’s a niche for an oil producer and this outlook for the future considering that some of the largest businesses in the world are oil and gas producers?’” See asked — then answered his own question. “Our niche was twofold,” he stated. “We’ve identified over 20 billion barrels of oil in the United States that the majors and larger independents left behind. Additionally, the large independents and majors have to deploy capital in large quantities – billions of dollars at a time. “That presents an opportunity for quality assets that they just go by,” See continued. “That was our strategy when we formed Laredo, to prove up our Underground Gravity Drainage(TM) (‘UGD’) technology to recover some of these 20 billion barrels of stranded oil in the United States and also to acquire and operate underutilized smaller assets. The product of those parallel paths is what the company did over the last 11 years.” See provided a brief summary, noting that currently Laredo has spent more than $100 million on R&D to develop UGD. “And that’s our long-term strategy,” See remarked. “Our short-term strategy focuses on underutilized assets allowing us to come in, operate, increase production, drive down costs and be profitable in the oil business. “We are acquiring assets that are smaller but very meaningful to a company of our size,” he continued. “That’s our focus. We’ve been successful in acquiring this acreage and operating these underutilized assets. It’s our approach — simplicity versus complexity. With complexity there’s risk. . . . simplicity lets us de-risk. . . . It’s more executable.” The Bell2Bell Podcast is part of a sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The program delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries. Laredo Oil Inc. is an exploration and production company specializing in conventional and enhanced oil recovery techniques targeting mature and declining oil fields. In addition to pursuing conventional oil recovery methods in selected oil fields, Laredo Oil plans to use its unique UGD model wherever applicable to profitably recover stranded oil reserves previously thought to be incapable of economic recovery.

• Correlate focuses on enabling building owners to reduce their facilities’ energy use or install clean energy solutions such as solar energy
• The company designs, engineers, finances, and builds such solutions and other upgrades, enabling owners, who may include real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), to meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) targets
• Investors are increasingly conscious about whether companies espouse ESG values, and Correlate is helping REITs fulfill such requirements
• Recently, Correlate announced it has entered a contract for a major rooftop solar energy project in New Jersey

Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) is a portfolio-scale real estate platform focused on eliminating barriers for large-scale property owners looking to optimize their buildings’ energy footprint and meet their sustainability goals. The company recognizes that while owners understand that they can reduce energy use by installing better technologies or meet their sustainability objectives by generating clean energy onsite, they face a decision-making dilemma. Usually, property owners find it difficult to establish the right approach. The company has therefore modeled its operations around this problem. First, correlate uses technology to assess buildings to identify solutions that can be deployed therein. Next, it provides the capital needed to make the necessary updates. And once the installations and upgrades are complete, its team monitors the buildings 24/7 and maintains the technologies to ensure they are in top-notch shape throughout the service life. Correlate’s focus on offering solutions that help building owners to meet their sustainability goals and reduce the energy consumed by tenants in their facilities could not have come at a better time, given the rising wave of consciousness around Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) values. Vast swathes of investors are increasingly looking to invest in companies that espouse ESG, giving rise to ESG investing. According to the CFA Institute, ESG investors are commonly motivated by the desire to “incorporate ethical principles, values, or religious beliefs into investment decisions; avoid ESG risks that may negatively affect the value of investments; mitigate the negative impacts of investments on the environment and other people; and contribute, wholly or partially, to the attainment of specific, positive, measurable, or social outcomes” (https://ibn.fm/nivGi). Correlate’s business model allows scores of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) – companies that finance, operate, or own income-generating real estate – to implement ESG initiatives and, by extension, partially or wholly fulfill ESG investors’ requirements. With a recent report by Nareit showing that such companies continue to be at the forefront of sustainable building innovation (https://ibn.fm/T0Cye) by, among other things, increasingly using onsite renewables, Correlate’s offerings are enabling them to meet their ESG targets, whilst simultaneously saving up on energy costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Just recently, Correlate Infrastructure Partners announced it had entered an agreement valued at more than $2 million for a major rooftop solar energy project in New Jersey. The company has designed, engineered, and will finance and construct the project, which is expected to be operational in Q4 2022 (https://ibn.fm/VrrBK). “Corporate America is stepping up their measurable actions to meet investor-driven ESG mandates,” said Correlate President and CEO Todd Michaels, “and why wouldn’t they, it’s tremendously profitable for them. In New Jersey, our clients will typically save at least 20% on day one while converting 70% of the facility’s electricity use to carbon-free solar energy. With Correlate, customers put up zero capital and simply get cheaper, clean power at a fixed price. That’s an infinite return.” On his part, Correlate CFO Channing Chen stated that private real estate investment groups across the country are actively seeking the company’s services. “They are experiencing volatile energy costs that are adversely affecting their profitability and need a real strategy and execution vehicle to reduce their GHG emissions. We believe that our solutions solve two problems for our clients, while conforming to their corporate procurement rules. It’s a true game changer for those on the sidelines looking to catch up,” Chen added. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CorrelateInfra.com.

• Municipal governments as well as private business operations are looking for suitable solutions for preventing crime in order to stem the rising tide of violence in the nation
• Autonomous Security Robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope is deploying a variety of public-friendly ASR models designed to discourage crime and provide evidence resulting from any criminal activity
• Knightscope’s ASR models can draw on technology with artificial intelligence capabilities designed to recognize facial features and license plate identifiers, among other things
• The ASR models operate 24/7, 365 days a year according to client needs, and the models have logged more than a million hours since 2015
• The technology is also now available for single, double and triple shifts to help clients improve security programs
• One of Knightscope’s most recent clients is a Missouri recycling plant concerned about thieves bent on taking automotive scrap metals to resell them

Nationwide concerns about incidents of mass violence have led to increasing efforts to prevent crime through social outreach programs, citizen patrols, technological vigilance and better lighting at night, among other measures. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s recently announced strategy for using federal funds from last year’s Congressional COVID-19 relief stimulus act is an example of how communities are working to combat crime by minimizing the likelihood of it happening in the first place (https://ibn.fm/ZJn1b). Minneapolis has been a flashpoint for law enforcement reform since the murder of a black man by the city’s police two years ago, and a recent investigation of the department found a pattern of racial discrimination by officers stretching back at least a decade (https://ibn.fm/P3X0s). Coincidentally, nearly a decade has passed since autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) began working on non-threatening solutions to help deter criminal incidents and provide evidence stemming from those that do occur to help bring about their resolution. The outcome of those efforts was Knightscope’s ASR models, which provide a variety of client-responsive capabilities in an appealing package designed to interact well with the public. The ASRs come in one stationary and two mobile models (one indoor and one outdoor) that are able to operate 24 hours a day seven days a week under Knightscope’s Machine-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) business platform that draws on artificial intelligence capabilities, computer vision, digital technology and hands-on security management interaction with the models (https://ibn.fm/oXC7c). The company’s annual subscription service for the ASRs, and their browser-based command center interface used by the client’s security managers, amounts to about $3 to $9 per hour, providing a competitive alternative to continuous security patrols by human personnel and a lesser risk of harm to personnel. Under the terms of the subscription, Knightscope assesses client needs and the terrain the ASRs will cover, delivers the appropriate technological solution, provides 24/7 support for any maintenance or service required, and upgrades the models whenever the company introduces software or hardware improvements. The Knightscope ASR sentries have logged well over a million hours of service since 2015 as new clients have opted to include the security robots in their operation plans. One of the most recent companies to adopt Knightscope’s solution is a fourth-generation recycling center in Missouri. The recycler intends to use Knightscope’s roving outdoor ASR model to protect the metals it deals with, such as catalytic converters and other auto parts that are highly sought by metal thieves, according to a news report (https://ibn.fm/hUd2d). “It’s expensive. This is a national security issue. It’s a public safety issue. It’s an economic issue,” former Houston and Austin (Texas) Police Chief Art Acevedo told the report. For more information about Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP), visit the company’s website at www.Knightscope.com and if you have a need for subscription service you may request a private demonstration of the technology at www.Knightscope.com/demo.

• The ViralWall(TM) is a revolutionary new air-purification device engineered for personal-space protection
• KNOS is exclusive national distributor of revolutionary device designed to be “weapon against all bacteria and viruses”
• Company is eyeing growing graphene market as it looks to develop, support disruptive manufacturing methods and graphene-based products

Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS) has announced distribution of a revolutionary new air-purification device engineered for personal-space protection (https://ibn.fm/AWNSb). The ViralWall(TM) is designed to be placed between individuals, draw in their exhaled air, kill or disable pathogens as they move through the patented graphene-based air filter, and then release disinfected pathogen-free air. The first-ever self-sterilizing graphene air purifier on the market, the ViralWall was developed by Israel-based R&D company LIGC Application Ltd. “In the absence of better filtration technology, the indoor spaces where we spend most of our ‘normal’ life — schools, stores and workplaces — due to COVID-19, presented a real risk,” stated LIGC cofounder and CEO Yehuda Borenstein. “Our technology will provide cleaner and more breathable air with lower energy and maintenance costs and virtually silent sound levels. We are very pleased that Kronos has agreed to distribute our advanced technology and products in the USA.” Becoming the exclusive national distributor of this innovative device aligns with the focus of Kronos Advanced Technologies, a company committed to changing the way indoor air is filtered and disinfected. According to the company’s distribution announcement, “the device will act as a weapon against all bacteria and viruses, including antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs,’ so its uses will extend well beyond the end of the pandemic. “The technology for this device grew out of a partnership between research groups at Rice University, Houston, Texas, and at the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (‘BGU’), Israel,” the announcement continued. “Both teams were working on graphene-related projects. Often described as a ‘super material,’ a graphene is a form of carbon that measures just one atom thick. It is the thinnest and strongest material known and is flexible, transparent and highly conductive of both electricity and heat.” During the research, the Rice University developers determined that they could make a flexible air filter from porous and conductive graphene foam, called laser-induced graphene or LIG; in addition, they discovered that when they added small electrical pulses, the filter could kill airborne pathogens. These realizations led to the creation of the graphene-based ViralWall. “The graphene air filters will be more efficient, cost-effective, consume less energy, and require far less maintenance than other air filters currently on the market,” said Kronos CEO Michael Rubinov. The global graphene market was estimated at more than $94.4 million in 2020, with GrandView Research projecting it would grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 43.2% from 2021 to 2028. KNOS is eyeing that growing market as it looks to develop and support disruptive manufacturing methods and graphene-based futuristic products today. Its distribution agreement with LIGC supports that strategy. LIGC has developed and owns a patented portfolio of revolutionary technologies for manufacturing processes to produce high-quality, low-cost 3D graphene. This graphene can be used in an array of applications, including air and water purification, biosensors, energy storage, and others. KNOS anticipates making many LIG offerings at its electronics manufacturing facility in West Virginia. Kronos is focused on next-generation, wellness consumer-electronics products and PPE solutions. Originally founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers, KNOS has since evolved into the consumer air-purification space, initially focusing on developing, marketing and selling its proprietary air movement and purification technology. Proprietary KNOS technology is now also being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes and vehicles of all types to move, sterilize and filter air. Kronos Advanced Technologies is exploring broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices, including schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, automobile and commercial aircraft cabins, and specialized air filters for bitcoin-mining farms.
