Liquidmetal Technologies Announces Record Number of RFQ's for Q2 2015
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 15, 2015--
Liquidmetal(R) Technologies, Inc.

This represents an increase from 36 in the prior quarter and an increase from 4 in the second quarter of 2014.
"This represents a significant milestone in the deployment of Liquidmetal technology," said Tom Steipp, President and CEO.
