From: Girish K. [[email protected]]Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 3:18 AMTo: [email protected]: Innovation Visualization Service from OnioVizAttachments: OnioViz Portfolio.pdf

Dear Chad Collins,

Greetings from OnioViz!!

OnioViz is the innovation visualization division of Onio Design Pvt. Ltd. which is one of the leading product design and innovation consulting company in India, based at Pune.

OnioViz helps innovators and start-up companies in first conceptual visualization of their product ideas for investor/manufacturer/buyer presentations. Many times referred as ‘Virtual Prototyping’, this process saves errors in judgment of usability and potential of ideas, before the huge investments are made in physical prototyping and manufacturing.

OnioViz team has experience of working with overseas and Indian clients for over hundred such assignments in the last one year. Remote working methodology, project management and professional delivery within the constraints of the current economic scenario has been the hallmark of OnioViz.

Being a part of a ‘design company’ OnioViz naturally becomes sensitive to User Needs and Productisation implications which become the key approval criterions in the development process of an innovation.

Please find enclosed a small PDF file that give glimpses of our work and process. We would be happy to talk to you on aconvenient time, and see how OnioViz can partner with you in providing product visualization services for investor presentations.

Best regards

From: Bob_Huybrechts [[email protected]]Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 10:18 PMTo: [email protected]: Intellectual propertyAttachments: USD Letter ntf.pdf

Hello Chad,

I would like to introduce some very unique and powerful knowledge about intellectual property that enables anyone with a novel idea, whether a product or a service, to establish guaranteed worldwide ownership of that idea, with compensation rights until 70 years after death!

This new method, called the USD System has changed many inventors’ lives for the better. Visit our websites www.usdsystem.com/eng.html and www.sosinvention.com/en/home.asp, as they contain a wealth of information about the legal instrument available: the Intellectual Passport CB.I attach an explanatory letter in .pdf format with a list of features and benefits, which you could also forward to someone else who may be interested.

I am a consultant for the International USD Consortium and any questions you may have, please contact me. I look forward to helping you or your contacts acquire permanent and worldwide ownership of your new idea or invention.

Co-operatively Yours,

Bob Huybrechts President - Innovation Initiative Co-opwww.innovationinitiative.orgwww.conceptocreation.comUSD System Consultant Office: 647-722-8422 Fax: 905-775-0355 Cell: 905-252-4019

Hello,

My name is Billy Mestichelli, and I am currently casting a show called Shark Tank for ABC/Mark Burnett Productions. This show is another version of an international hit on the BBC called Dragons' Den. The format is simple, and might benefit the people in your organization. They would be approaching a panel of billionaire investors (names and MOs below) to get their companies or projects or inventions more capital to either expand or keep them afloat. The panel invests their own money if they decide to go with the proposals, and the outcome could be an amazing opportunity. I have included a youtube clip as well of the BBC show, and if this is something your membership base might be interested in, please have them contact me with the following information:

NameOccupationDescription of Business/Invention - As ambiguously or involved as you feel comfortable at this point Phone number EmailPhoto

From there we can send them an application to appear on the show and possibly get their product some major backing. Thank you.

Panel of Investors:

Robert Herjavec (Tech Genius) Daymond John (Founder of FUBU clothing) Barbara Corcoran (Real Estate Mogul) Kevin O'Leary (Venture Capitalist) Kevin Harrington (Infomercial King)

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the mass message but we just launched a new project and we're looking for submissions from Female Inventors.

Milojo Productions (brainchild of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos) is now casting women with fabulous ideas and great personalities from across America for a new series. The show, set to air on TLC, takes a selected female inventor through the journey of realizing their dream. It's an opportunity to get your product developed, manufactured, marketed, and finally sold on The Home Shopping Network.

http://www.gotcast.com/casting-calls/Female-Inventors/54140

The show's casting directors will be accepting submissions through GotCast until the last week of June. Please forward this to anyone that you think would be interested.

Thanks!
