QUINCY, Ill., Dec. 17, 2004 -- The Emergency Light Blanket (ELB) invented by Pepper Aasgaard, ASAR Electronics, Inc. (www.LightBlanket.com), was selected as one of the Top Five Inventions of 2004 by Paul Niemann, Quincy, IL (syndicated columnist, contributing author for "Inventor's Digest" and author of "Invention Mysteries").

The Emergency Light Blanket has multiple LED clusters
centered on highly reflective arrows that illuminate in a
cascading
   sequence that provides highly visible protection for
motorists or emergency personnel.  The reusable ELB installs
and is visible
   in seconds, has a soft non-scratch velvet-like backing and
magnetic holds for immediate protection.

Primary use of the ELB is for stranded motorist or accident
situations. The driver or emergency attendant can simply fold
   out the blanket, attach it to the vehicle or wreckage and
activate it in less than a minute.  The ELB is visible for
miles.

Currently the only protection a motorist has is the
vehicle's battery hungry four way flashers (seen only if the
tail lights
   are clean and survived the accident).  Truckers only have
the notorious "unseen blow over" red triangles and the red
flares
   that burn out quickly.  The ELB can run for days on the
vehicle's electrical system.

The ELB can be used for multiple deployments in case of
catastrophe providing fast traffic control by emergency
personnel.
   The ELB is powered by the vehicle's 12 volt electrical
system or independently by a 9 volt battery. Commercial ELB's
include
   rechargeable power source for multiple rescue
deployments.

The Emergency Light Blanket has received numerous honors
this year including the MIC Grand Award, Two Gold Metals, and
the
   Otto Schmitt Award. "The most awards ever presented to an
individual inventor in our 48 year history!" said Robert Starr
Co-founder
   of the world's oldest and largest inventor's organization,
the Minnesota Inventors Congress.

When asked by a local radio talk show host Kent Pavelka
(KKAR 1290) "What one of your inventions do you feel is the
most important?"
   Aasgaard responded, "The Emergency Light Blanket no doubt,
it was designed to save lives."

Charles Mueller, president of ASAR Group, Incorporated
(www.asargroup.com), announced that ASAR Electronics, Inc.,
will test
   market the ELB and establish distribution early 2005.
