Bust-up in Brazil

We ran a story on an interesting event at the FEIMAFE 2009 show in Brazil. A new CNC control on display created quite a stir when an interested operator attempted to take a photo with his cell phone. A security guard intercepted the attempt and quickly ushered the man away. What were they trying to hide? Witnesses stated the control demonstration centered on increased productivity. Supposedly, they described it as “exponentially” better productivity. Is this somehow tied in to the shop in Asheville? We need to look further into this. Check out our story on www.cnceyeteam.com.

my co-worker went to HBH enterprise over on Riverside drive in Ashville. He told me that they had a similar looking security guy and overheard him talking about exponentially increased productivity. What exactly does "exponentially" mean?

I've also gone to www.crackthegcode.com to see if I could find out more, but this mystery boggles the mind. Never have I seen anyone trying to be so secretive in the machine tool industry.
