ADMIT DEVICE CHARTS BRAIN 

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD OF "INTOXICATION DETECTION" ARE MOVING RAPIDLY AHEAD.

BRAIN PATTERNS CAN NOW BE CHARTED ELECTRONICALLY FOR TYPE AND DEGREE OF ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUG INTOXICATION. EACH DRUG HAS A UNIQUE EFFECT UPON THE BRAIN. SUCH BRAIN PATTERNS ARE NOW IDENTIFIABLE AS CLEARLY AS FINGERPRINTS. IN JUST ONE MINUTE -- WITHOUT INVADING THE SUBJECT'S PRIVACY -- ACCURATE AND OBJECTIVE HARDCOPY READOUT THAT SHOULD STAND UP IN COURT CAN BE PRODUCED. THE ONLY CONTACT WITH THE SUBJECT IS THROUGH THE EXTERNAL, PAINLESS USE OF A DISPOSABLE HEAD- BAND!

THE SYSTEM, KNOWN AS "ADMIT", READS BRAINWAVE PATTERNS ELECTRONIC- ALLY THROUGH ITS MICROCOMPUTER. THE TEST IS SO PASSIVE IN NATURE IT MAY BE CONDUCTED EVEN IF THE SUBJECT IS UNCONSCIOUS. THE ABSENCE OF DRUGS IS INDICATED AS WELL AS THE DEGREE OF IMPAIRMENT.

THE DEVELOPER CLAIMS COST EFFECTIVNESS NOT ONLY THROUGH THE SIMPLICITY OF THE PROCEDURE BUT BY THE ELIMINATION OF THE PREVIOUSLY NECESSARY EVIDENTIAL TRACE PROCESS REQUIRED FOR COURT OPERATIONS. THE PRINTOUT IS THE EVIDENCE. THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY PROBLEMS IS ALSO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED.

ADMIT COMES IN A SMALL 25-POUND BOX. NO MEDICAL, TECHNICAL OR COMPUTER EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. COST IS ABOUT $10 PER TEST. MAN- HOUR REQUIREMENTS PER CASE ARE GREATLY REDUCED AS TIME INVOLVED IS MINIMAL AND RESULTS ARE IMMEDIATE. CURRENTLY THE UNITS ARE LEASEABLE FOR AROUND US$400. PER MONTH ON A THREE YEAR LEASE PLUS A PER ANALYSIS CHARGE OF $5.00. DISPOSABLE HEADBANDS COST ABOUT $3.
