Environmental Compliance Software

Environmental & Safety issues into one easy-to-use system, greatly reducing the amount of time and money spent on EPA and OSHA compliance.

MIRS is stand-alone or web-based.

Electronic Monitoring (RFID, Bluetooth, WiFi)

Place RFID/Bluetooth/WiFi monitors in front of stores. Read all available information to try to connect the device with a person.

Send the data to a central repository (for correlation) via WiFi and 3g cellular data.

Sell access to the data stream, which would be useful to marketers.

At a more granular level inside stores, place devices in each aisle. In grocery stores, correlate with person's discount card.

Caviar Farming

Aqua farming a high-cash crop.

A U.S. ban on imports of some Caspian Sea caviar has contributed to a healthy caviar market. Beluga imports have been banned since 2005 because the fish population has been decimated in the wild.

Emery and other caviar experts point to aquaculture as the future of the caviar industry.

"With no caviar coming in from anywhere. ... the farms are doing well," Emery said.

Petrossian sells an ounce of farmed ossetra caviar for $126 to $170. The same amount of wild sevruga, the smallest variety, sells for prices starting at $314.

Although farmed sturgeon produce caviar faster than in the wild, it is still an expensive business requiring an endless supply of capital and patience.
