Tuesday brings reads on consumer confidence and new home sales, as well as speeches from Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan and former Fed governor Ben Bernanke.

The consumer confidence report for September, due shortly after the market opens, is expected to show a drop
to 94.3 from 105.6 in August. The report -- as well as the price of oil -- is likely to set the tone for the morning.

Greenspan's afternoon speech at a business

seasonal factors remain in place, including the tendency for the September to mid-October period to be tough for the markets.

"I don't think we can look forward to any great news coming out in the September-October period" noted
Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co.

TUSTIN, Calif., Sep 22, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Pacific Fuel Cell Corp. (PFCE) is pleased to announce
that it has completed the prototype of its proprietary nanostructured Membrane Electrode Assembly (nanoMEA),
and is currently looking for partners for the nanoMEA production.

According to Dr. Yushan Yan, a member of PFCE's board of directors, the new carbon nanomaterial-based MEAs have
shown excellent performance for both hydrogen and methanol fuel cells. For example, this technology uses 75
percent less platinum while exceeding the performance of current state-of-the-art MEAs for methanol fuel cells.
The carbon nanomaterials are used as the support of platinum or platinum alloy catalysts. Another major
advantage of these carbon nanomaterials is their higher corrosion resistance and thus longer lifetime than
carbon black.

George Suzuki, PFCE president stated: "PFCE is proud and excited about the results of its long-time research
on carbon nanomaterial MEAs that are both of high performance and reasonably priced. We hope to start taking
sample orders by the time we exhibit at The Fuel Cell Seminar in Palm Springs, California, November 14-17, 2005.
Our booth number is 220."

Pacific Fuel Cell Corp. is a nanotechnology company committed to the development and production of carbon
nanomaterial-based membrane electrode assemblies ("nanoMEAs") with reduced cost and higher performance for fuel
cells in the portable and micro fuel cell market.

ROCHESTER, N.Y, Sep 23, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (BIPH )
a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, has announced the filing of twelve new patents, expanding
the Company's extensive intellectual property portfolio to more than 200 patents, applications, or licenses.
That total includes 156 pending and issued U.S. patents and another 46 international applications.

The twelve new patents teach how a tiny circuit can be added to minimize dangerous heating which can occur when
devices such as pacemaker and neurostimulators leads are exposed to MRI signals. The circuits are powered by the
energy in the MRI field and dissipate the energy so that heating does not occur. The circuits can be tuned to
specific frequencies, such as the frequencies associated with 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla MRI machines. These circuits have
been tested under worst-case conditions on representative devices, and can reduce heating to acceptable levels.

The twelve patents teach a variety of ways that these circuits can reduce heating on many types of medical devices
that suffer from MRI safety limitations. These include many implantable devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators,
and neurostimulators, devices used for Parkinson's, epilepsy and pain control, as well as stimulation devices for
obesity control, gastrointestinal and bladder control. In addition to implantable devices, this technology applies
to devices used in interventional medicine, including catheters, guidewires, and other surgical tools.

"We anticipate a shift over the next several years, where virtually all biomedical devices currently contraindicated
for MRI or experiencing imaging limitations, will be made both safe and compatible for use with MRI. Over $12 billion
worth of devices are sold every year with these shortcomings," stated Michael Weiner, Biophan CEO
