nano! i know you're here. would you be kind enough to put this latest release over on rb? lkpl does nothing to promote itself, which is why no one knows about them,(except you and me!). after all, it was in a post from you i first heard of them! like i said in the previous post, a govt grant may well be the next news.
Still lurking, I am - and good to see some good news. I'm pulling for LinkPlus - I do like to see R&D (patented) hit the market place!
I should buy, but it tends to stagnate for such long periods.
Keeping my eyes open and my pocketbook close.
sp went from .10 to .17 on 25,000 shrs. nice to see it go up on slight vol, just like they dropped it to a dime on 5000 shrs. makes it hard to buy in any quantity below about .25. can't wait til those shrs dry up. the jhu patent alone should make this comp ~$2, a few more news will go a long way to making this credible in the markets' eye.
Columbia firm’s bomb detectors coming to airports
http://www.examiner.com/a-905143~Columbia_firm_s_bomb_detectors_coming_to_airports.html
Columbia, Md -
Link Plus Corp. technology is coming to an airport near you.
The Columbia-based provider of real-time substance-detection technologies recently signed an agreement with Texas-based International RAM Associates to develop Link Plus’ products for airports and other venues.
“It’s a very big agreement for us,” said Jonathan Gluckman, president and chief executive officer of Link Plus, a firm of eight employees. “It’s a significant advance in the detection of a wide variety of threat substances.”
Link Plus’ technology uses Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), an advanced technology developed at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
The product, a liquid mold, contains polymers that react in the presence of explosive molecules. The product can be applied to different items, such as security badges, Gluckman said.
The product can change color in the presence of explosive molecules or be electronically examined for positive reactions to toxins or other dangerous substances, Gluckman said.
The product will initially be focused on applications for passenger hand-carry luggage and shoe checks at airports.
“It’s kind of a lock-and-key system, with the explosive molecules acting as the key to the reaction,” Gluckman said. “It can be used on a lot of various applications.”
International RAM Associates’ Technical Service Group will support the application design, implementation and integration of the security technology to airports, ports and other agencies.
“We are supporting the security industry by working with a successful manufacturer to build effective and appropriate applications for this emerging technology,” Chris Mashburn, CEO of International RAM, said in a statement.
Security spending is rising, as President Bush’s fiscal 2008 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security includes an increase of $224.2 million to support the Transportation Security Administration’s screening operations, according to the department.

i wonder if lkpl tech is involved here/seems a likely application
"By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The government is researching whether the best defense against a chemical, biological or radiological attack might one day be right in everyone's hands — or on their ears.
Homeland Security officials are looking into outfitting cellphones with detectors that would alert emergency responders to radiological isotopes, toxic chemicals and biological agents such as anthrax.
"If it's successful, it'll change the way chemical, biological and radiation detection is done," says Rolf Dietrich, deputy director of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency, which invests in high-tech solutions to secure the nation against terrorist attacks. "It's a really, really neat thing."

some exerpts:
DHUE: At first, Wall Street seemed to like the new law. In fact, as the bill moved toward passage, the Dow Jones Industrial Average staged a comeback, registering its second largest daily point gain; and in the years since, the market has not experienced anything like the stock price drops of 2001 and 2002. But as public companies began implementing the law, some began to wonder whether Congress had acted too hastily. While the SEC originally estimated it would cost the average company $91,000 a year to comply with the law, by some estimates that cost has turned out to be over $4 million. Some say those costs have reached the point where companies are trying to avoid Sarbanes-Oxley requirements by not listing on U.S. stock exchanges. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Senator Charles Schumer warn that unless something is done, New York could lose its status as the world`s financial capital mainly because of the law`s red tape.
KANGAS: Alex, you've been quoted as saying that the Sarbanes-Oxley act was a normal historical overreaction to the market bust earlier in this decade and is bad for investors. Is that an accurate quote, and if so, how did this law end up hurting investors rather than helping them?
ALEX POLLOCK, RESIDENT FELLOW, AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE: That is an accurate quote on both accounts. First, a normal bust follows a normal boom and then there's always a political reaction which ends up costly. The one thing we know about the effects of Sarbanes-Oxley is that it produced much more cost, paperwork and bureaucracy than anybody intended or anybody thought and the thing to remember is that cost is always paid by investors. That's by definition, bad for investors if costs are greater than benefits. But even if costs are just a lot more than they need to be, that by definition is bad for investors and that's all in spite of the idea that this is supposedly protecting investors.
KANGAS: Alex, as we can see in the chart, micro cap companies, which have been exempt from Sarbox section 404, were actually responsible for more than half of last year's earnings restatements. But rather than tighten up on smaller companies, a bill now before Congress would make it voluntary for them to comply with section 404. Do you think that's a good idea?
POLLOCK: I do indeed. In fact, I'd make section 404 voluntary for everybody if it were up to me. If you have a voluntary approach -- and I emphasize here not exemption, a choice where you get to explain to your investors what choice you've made, then will give investors the chance to express their opinions. If indeed they love all these 404 controls so much, they will indeed pay more for the securities and you can believe that companies will follow suit.
sarbanes-oxley has hurt investors-

when will we hear about lkpl piece of this federal pie?
buying continues...someone is grabbing all the shares available below .25. this is like the end of a long drought! it can only mean the stock has been noticed, probably by someone lkpl is begining to do business with, or less likely, a market maker. whoever it is, they are showing great discipline in that they have limited themselves to shares priced below .25. imo, a pretty good run is coming soon!
someone is slowly and stealthily buying and the price is slowly climbing. could be in for a run. shares are so tight any buying will force the price up. substantial buying on a good news release could double the shr price in 1 day. the question is who wants shares now and why? industry has taken notice, but the comp is still off investors' radar screens. given the unique patented tech and the sales potential knocking on the lkpl door, can a $2 share price be that far-fetched? i'm still patiently waiting for the vulcano to erupt.

CEO Message
Memorandum
July 1, 2006
From: Robert L. Jones, Jr., CEO
To: Web Visitors
Subject: WELCOME
During this last year, the Company's focus and primary new product developments have resulted in a major evolution and confirmation of its strategic direction. Starting early in 2005 Link Plus successfully completed the development of its latest generation of long-range radio modules. We then quickly moved into completion of a mesh communications protocol and a new generation of development tools. Also, in September 2005, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory granted Link Plus an exclusive worldwide license to its Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) explosive detection technology. The MIP technology can detect a wide range of explosives making it ideal for the detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used by terrorists. These two developments allowed the Company to enter into several high-growth markets which will have a dramatic effect on the Company's future.
Perhaps the two most significant entries have been in the areas of automatic meter reading (AMR) and transportation security (TRANSEC). These market sectors have become the major focus of the Company. In the area of AMR, the Company achieved several key milestones including the development of a fixed based AMR system unparalleled in the industry. Sales and marketing efforts have brought worldwide attention to the Company's offerings and have resulted in a major partnership in the United Kingdom. The relationship is with the largest meter reading company in the United Kingdom. Together, the companies will be installing several pilot installations across the UK. In addition, the Company is actively making progress to introduce its products in the US, Argentina, and China.
TRANSEC is a completely new development for the Company and is a result of the aforementioned license from The Johns Hopkins University. The MIP technology has unique qualities that are not found in other explosives detection systems. In combination with the radio mesh network solutions, initially developed for AMR, Link Plus is moving quickly to apply this technology to Homeland Security applications associated with land, air, and sea transportation. These vary from protection of public transportation systems, airport baggage and passenger screening, border security, nuclear power plant security, container and cargo tracking and security, and others. In keeping with the Company's core business model, the Company has executed several Joint Development Agreements for integrating MIP explosive detection technology into public transportation systems, container tracking and security, and others.
On June 26, 2006, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), in addition to the current MIPs technology for explosive detection, granted Link Plus Corporation a new exclusive worldwide license for the use of MIPs technology to detect: toxins, chemical agents, biological agents, pesticides, poisons, elements, and chemical compounds. Eventually, this will allow us to detect most agents used by terrorists such as: anthrax - a biological agent; ricin - a poison; sarin - a chemical nerve gas agent; etc.
The Company is progressing into challenging and positive times with the potential for very rapid growth. A firm baseline has been developed over the past year and will be exploited as the Company moves forward. Please continue to visit our web site as we expect to be providing more frequent updates and announcements of our new alliances and products.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Jones, Jr.
MIPS/ICATSS
from lkpl website under icatss/ intelligent container tracking and security system:
The iCATSS system is based on a battery powered communication system that can be securely installed on every container, rail car, or other mobile container. The key to iCATSS and one of the elements that sets it apart from the industry is the use of proprietary intelligent mesh network communications architecture. In combination with a suite of specialized sensors, including explosives sensors developed by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and exclusively licensed to Link Plus, the iCATSS system is able to detect the presence of dangerous substances long before they become a threat to populated areas or strategic assets.
Link Plus Corporation has been selected to participate in a fully sanctioned program for port security in Russia beginning in the port city of St. Petersburg, Russia as well and for a similar program with The Design Institute and North-West Security Center of Russia. The Russian Central Marine Institute selected the Link Plus Intelligent Container Tracking and Security System (iCATSS) which employs the Link Plus LRM (TM) RF modules and Link Plus Z-Plus(TM) software, for this multi-stage pilot program.
The iCATSS system can utilize a variety of sensors over and above the standard motion / actuation sensors associated with cargo. These can include the MIPS technology for trace substance detection of illegal materials, temperature, GPS etc. The detected information is securely transmitted over the ZPlus(TM) mesh based RF network back to the main office. While the shipping containers are shipboard or in transit, the network or individual iCATSS modules are still gathering all data for transmission via uplink to the main network.

Former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for the TSA, the Honorable David M. Stone, to Chair Link Plus Homeland Security Advisory Board
Security Expert Sees Great Promise in Integration of New Wireless Networking and Explosive Detection Technologies
COLUMBIA, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 12, 2006 -- Link Plus Corporation (www.linkplus.com), producer of sophisticated new homeland security solutions that integrate advanced wireless networking and explosive detection technologies, announced today that Rear Admiral David M. Stone, United States Navy (retired) and former head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), has been appointed to Chairman of the Company's newly established Homeland Security Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board will assist the Board of Directors and the Executive Management team of Link Plus Corporation in defining and implementing a comprehensive strategy to establish and maintain the Company as a leader in products and services which meet the changing demands of the world's homeland security requirements. The activities of the Advisory Board will also include providing outreach and liaison between Link Plus and Government/Industry to help enhance the Company's insight into the most compelling and current market needs and customer requirements.
Admiral Stone has more than 30 years experience in national security. Upon retirement from the active service, Admiral Stone was nominated by President George W. Bush, and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate, as the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In this position, he was responsible for the security of the United States Transportation System which includes the Mass Transit, Rail, Highway, Pipeline, Maritime and Aviation modes of Transportation. Overseeing a budget of more than $5.6 billion and leading a team of more than 54,000 people, Admiral Stone took on what many described as the "toughest job in government today."

As the leader of the TSA for over 18 months before transitioning to private industry in June of 2005, he was the longest serving Administrator in the organization's history. Prior to being appointed Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, Admiral Stone was the TSA's first Federal Security Director at Los Angeles International Airport.
"Today, the security of all points of entry is of utmost importance if we are to ensure the integrity of our country and the safety of our citizens," said Admiral Stone, newly appointed Chairman of the Link Plus Corporation Advisory Board. "Based on my operational experience both within the Department of Defense as well as the Department of Homeland Security, I believe the integration of new technologies, such as the MIPs (molecularly imprinted polymer) sensing technology and wireless mesh networking from Link Plus, have an absolutely critical role to play in our ongoing security efforts against a wide range of terrorist threats."
Bob Jones, Chairman and CEO of Link Plus Corporation, sees a significant, untapped market opportunity today in which Link Plus is uniquely positioned to meet and one that Admiral Stone is ideally qualified to help the company maximize.
"We are moving rapidly to apply our wireless transceiver technology, using Z-Plus™ mesh network software, and the MIPs sensing technology exclusively licensed from The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to develop sophisticated new homeland security solutions," Jones said. "With Admiral Stone's leadership on the Advisory Board, we feel strongly that Link Plus can accelerate its ability to demonstrate and articulate the value and effectiveness of our technology and solutions in radically enhancing the protection of a diverse range of facilities, from major transportation hubs to utility delivery systems, around the world."

nano- in this case the product is being accelerated by necessity. i hope the homeland security advisory people who have come aboard recently can tap some federal monies to this regard. i think the entire elected body of the united states has been BRAIN DEAD with regard to securing our borders, ports, and transpo systems!!! bush has been the culprit in deflecting attention from what is truely needed with his frivolous war in iraq!!! the upcoming election should begin shifting attention to our real needs right here in the USA!!!
lkpl has the EXACT right product at the EXACT right time. i believe they are sitting on a ton of good news that won't be released until the ipo on the AIM exchange. hope you got all your shares/ good luck! also feel free to alert any of the other boards as you see fit, my ot posts to the HISC board get deleted IMMEDIATELY! (from what i see,that one is a scam). you can tell a comp is for real IF THERE ARE NO PUMPERS who post incessantly. its always the scams that have a huge following of "shills" to lure in the suckers. there is NONE OF THAT with lkpl!!!
I have a rule of thumb - 10 years between patent and product out the door.
FWIW
bid .30, ask .55- where is everyone?
http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=lkpl
price is climbing, someone wants shares, but all are being held very tightly. if the chemical detector gets ANY attention, the stock price should double. this comp is VERY QUIETLY going about their homeland security business, i hope they get a big PR firm to blow the horn for them soon. the key to profitability is the JHU/APL PATENT!

you have to log in to hear the interview, (create a free membership at the bottom) then the link should take you to the interview automatically. you'll need windows media, which you can download from there if need be. to be honest, i have not heard this yet('puter glitch), so see what you think.
on the page under profiles
http://onworld.com/research/zigbee/vip/
anyone still holding?
sorry for the long lapse in posting.
i have stayed in close contact with mgmt, and don't really read mb's, i rather just call the boss.
comp is starting to progress.
we should have some good news soon.
fyi, there is an interview with ceo bob jones on wallstreet.net that is a month or so old.
coincidentally, a brand new website will soon be launched.
jonhs hopkins has produced a working prototype chemical "sniffer".
talks with cubic seem to have generated material results.
i met the russian container tracking project mgr, he works right on site in columbia, md, and this project is going forward nicely. working prototype container tracking modules have been produced on site at columbia.
talks with spice(UK) are generating material results for the amr segment.
pilot amr projects are currently ongoing in 5 or 6 countries.
imo, china will soon be busy producing lkpl designed products.
finally, mgmt is working on ways to capitolize the comp without screwing shrhldrs. they have managed to keep shr count low, are not taking salaries, are not selling shrs. stay tuned for breaking news on this important subject.
[feel free to post this on rb, i can't get in there]
here is the patent info on the lincompex [linked compression and expansion- http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=LINCOMPEX&String=exact&p=ol and http://rover.wiesbaden.netsurf.de/~signals/FFT/LINCOMPEX.HTML ] tech developed by howard leveque and is half the equation for lkpl products. the rights to this patent are held by linkplus and had been the driving force behind lkpl prior to the merger with jst technologies in 2003. (now the other half is the awics radio chip, brought in by the merger):
