Press Release Summary: CVD has designed and produced healthcare check-in kiosk which
was recently awarded the Best Hardware/Enclosure Design award at Kioskcom. The
kiosk was designed for a major healthcare organization.

Press Release Body: Santa Ana, California, May 13, 2008 - CVD, provider of
interactive kiosk solutions since 1997, won the Best Hardware/Enclosure Design award
at the largest self-service kiosk show in the U.S. on April 16th, 2008 in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The award-winning "Enterprise FS" self-service kiosk is the first model in
CVD's new Enterprise line of enclosure solutions.

The concept for the Enterprise kiosk evolved through discussions with Kaiser
Permanente as they embraced the concept of self-service enhancement for "KP
HealthConnect", Kaiser's electronic health record system.

Kiosks meet Kaiser Permanente's goals of being innovative and enhancing service to
patients. \"The KP Self-Service Kiosk provides our patients an additional option to
check-in for their visits with a Kaiser Permanente care provider. I would liken
this to the kinds of steps we've seen other industries take-from banking to hotels
and airlines-to improve convenience for their customers," said Paul Minardi, MD,
Medical Director of Operations at Kaiser Permanente.

Kaiser Permanente's requirements included a specific look, finish, easy internal
access, flexible installation, durability, ADA considerations, ease of maintenance,
and UL certification. CVD was able to satisfy these requirements through a design
incorporating a curved front door that allows full access to all components while
providing an appearance that is friendly, approachable and conveys permanence. All
internal components are replaceable without tools in less than ten minutes. The
kiosk is capable of multiple installation scenarios including free-standing,
floor-bolted or attached to a wall. The Enterprise FS is specifically designed to
meet ADA side reach requirements and strict UL standards.

The award winning model was manufactured using stainless steel and includes a
specially-applied clear coat for easy cleaning and to minimize fingerprints. The
kiosk can also be manufactured using steel and powder-coated in a wide range of
colors.

\"The enclosure design successfully addressed our objectives and was well executed.
We are pleased with the finished product, the design award was particularly
satisfying.\" said Steven Pomerantz who led the Kaiser Permanente side of the
enclosure development effort.

CVD worked closely with Fabrication Concepts Corporation, their metal partner, who
precisely fabricated the seamlessly-integrated enclosure parts. The judges took
particular note of the stainless steel door craftsmanship. In addition, Elo
TouchSystems played a key role in providing the right touchscreen solution to meet
usability and privacy requirements.

"This project required a team with complementary skills working together to get the
job done" said CVD, Inc. President Peter O'Brien. "We have the resources, skills
and partner relationship to deliver quality results under challenging
circumstances".

"We have provided interactive kiosk solutions for over ten years and are committed
to quality design, engineering and manufacturing results which are reflected in this
industry recognized award" said CVD, Inc. Founder and CEO Ron Shiroke. "We thrive
on challenges and partnerships!"
