EXHIBIT A

Dr. Rongjia Tao will be the principal investigator for this project and such involvement by Dr. Tao in this project is a material inducement to STWA to enter into and perform its obligations under this R&D Agreement. Temple University will perform research, development, and consulting towards the realization of the following two commercial products: (1) Device utilizing electric field to improve the fuel injection in engines for diesel, kerosene, and gasoline; (2) Device utilizing electric or magnetic field to reduce crude oil viscosity and improve crude oil flow in pipelines.

Performance period: Two years, starting on the Effective Date

Tasks to be performed:

	1.		Design and manufacture a prototype device for STWA, which utilizes electric field to improve diesel injection in engines. Test the device and determine the droplet size distribution in the fuel injection, compare the results with the test on engine at STWA, and make necessary changes for the device.
	2.		Design and manufacture a prototype device for STWA, which utilizes electric field to improve gasoline injection in engines. Test the device and determine the droplet size distribution in the fuel injection, compare the results with the test on engine at STWA, and make necessary changes for the device.
	3.		Design and manufacture a prototype device for STWA, which utilizes electric field to improve kerosene injection in engines. Test the device and determine the droplet size distribution in the fuel injection, compare the results with the test on engine at STWA, and make necessary changes for the device.
	4.		Design a device for STWA, which utilizes electric field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude oil flow in pipelines.
	5.		In cooperation with STWA, manufacture the device and test it in laboratory and on pipelines with asphalt-base or mixed base crude oil.
	6.		Design a device for STWA, which utilizes magnetic field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude oil flow in pipelines.
