ZeoSync was formed in August 1999 as a scientific research company dedicated to advancements in communications theory and application. Its mission is “to improve all existing and traditional communication systems.” The company has secured roughly $10 million to date and has 30 employees. Capitalization and licensing programs are expected to provide $40 million in operating funds by December 2002. Over the past 24 months, the following recognized scientists have contributed to the ZeoSync development effort as independent contractors: Dr. Piotr Blass, Dr. Aaron Meyerwitz, Dr. Steve Smale, Dr. Holger Dillner, Dr. Borko Furht, Dr. Wlodzimierz Holsztynski and Dr. John Post.
Current technologies that enable the compression of data for transmission and storage are generally limited to compression ratios of ten-to-one. ZeoSync’s Relational Differentiation Encoding (RDE) data encoding/compression technology, once fully developed, will offer compression ratios that are anticipated to approach the hundreds-to-one range. ZeoSync claims that highly randomized information sequences, which were once considered non-reducible by the scientific community, are now massively reducible using advanced single-bit-variance encoding and supporting technologies.
Existing compression technologies are based on run-length encoding and redundancy compression. ZeoSync intentionally randomizes naturally occurring patterns to form entropy-like random sequences through its patent pending technology. Once randomized, ZeoSync encodes these singular-bit-variance strings within complex combinatorial series to form massively reduced equivalents. ZeoSync’s multi-dimensional variable allows for the intentional randomizing of patterned information sequences, and the encoding of single-bit-variances. This process allows for the transmission of only accelerated sequences without the traditional transmission of non-reducible sequences.
ZeoSync has developed the technology in conjunction with some traditional compression methodologies. This work includes the advancement of Fractals, Wavelets, DCT, FFT, Subband Coding, and Acoustic Compression. ZeoSync is enhancing these traditional methods through collaboration with academic experts worldwide. This mathematical breakthrough has enabled two classical scientific methods to be improved, Huffman Compression and Arithmetic Compression, both industry standards for the past fifty years. ZeoSync is in the process of filing more than 50 patents on its supporting technologies.
Although currently demonstrating its technology on very small bit strings, ZeoSync expects to overcome the existing constraints of its technology, which is expected to be commercially available during 2003. The company plans to introduce ICs and software to the global telecom community based on its multi-dimensional encoding technologies.
There’s much skepticism about the technology in the scientific community, and ZeoSync is keeping its technology details under wraps. However, ZeoSync is finalizing the logistics for an open testing process that would enable independent scientists to test ZeoSync’s proprietary algorithms. This test will enable participating scientists to validate ZeoSync’s breakthrough using standard data strings described as uncompressible by Stanford University professor Don Knuth (“Art of Computer Programming”).
