In the last year the cost of the CareBot has been reduced drastically due to changes in technology that were incorporated into the hardware.

The cost reduction will make for a stronger launch IMO.

Carebots have been marketable for several years. You can have in home trials forever. You can improve them forever.



The home trials were extremely important in perfecting the AI (artificial intelligence) software. You're talking about teaching a machine to understand and adapt to human behavior, something a lot of humans aren't even capable of.

Now let's look at Spencer's resume:

Spencer is well qualified to be CEO and he's gotten further with the CareBot in 15 years than iRobot has in 20 LOL!

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/r-martin-spencer/11/b2a/580

The CareBot has completely autonomous navigation - no maps required and it smoothly avoids moving and stationary obstacles. The navigation can be equipped with whatever sensors are appropriate for the job.

It has an AI hierarchy that creates situational awareness and it can be fitted with available over the counter sensors so the platform can be configured for personal assistance, telemedecine, security, whatever is needed.

Both the navigation system and the upper level AI can be migrated to other robots and non-robotic machines can be converted to robotic control.

In other words - now that the tech has credibile third party validation, it's only a matter of time until they have wheelchair kits on the market or that first big licensing deal. Then the ME TOO crowd will jump in and licensing opportunities will start popping up like tulips in springtime.

No question the move to NAS was a complete failure and all it did was provide manipulation to start from day 1. The BOD enriched themselves at everyone's expense although I do not blame them for selling. And here we are three years later with the stock price in the toilet but Pinocchio has empathy for his retail base. There is zero speculation built into the price at present and judging from KCC"s chat, the goalposts are moving again.

What is Imaging Radar ?

by Tony Freeman, Jet Propulsion Laboratory


An imaging radar works very like a flash camera in that it provides its own light to illuminate an area on the ground and take a snapshot picture, but at radio wavelengths. A flash camera sends out a pulse of light (the flash) and records on film the light that is reflected back at it through the camera lens. Instead of a camera lens and film, a radar uses an antenna and digital computer tapes to record its images. In a radar image, one can see only the light that was reflected back towards the radar antenna.



A typical radar (RAdio Detection and Ranging) measures the strength and round-trip time of the microwave signals that are emitted by a radar antenna and reflected off a distant surface or object. The radar antenna alternately transmits and receives pulses at particular microwave wavelengths (in the range 1 cm to 1 m, which corresponds to a frequency range of about 300 MHz to 30 GHz) and polarizations (waves polarized in a single vertical or horizontal plane). For an imaging radar system, about 1500 high- power pulses per second are transmitted toward the target or imaging area, with each pulse having a pulse duration (pulse width) of typically 10-50 microseconds (us). The pulse normally covers a small band of frequencies, centered on the frequency selected for the radar. Typical bandwidths for an imaging radar are in the range 10 to 200 MHz. At the Earth's surface, the energy in the radar pulse is scattered in all directions, with some reflected back toward the antenna. Thisbackscatter returns to the radar as a weaker radar echo and is received by the antenna in a specific polarization (horizontal or vertical, not necessarily the same as the transmitted pulse). These echoes are converted to digital data and passed to a data recorder for later processing and display as an image. Given that the radar pulse travels at the speed of light, it is relatively straightforward to use the measured time for the roundtrip of a particular pulse to calculate the distance or range to the reflecting object. The chosen pulse bandwidth determines the resolution in the range (cross-track) direction. Higher bandwidth means finer resolution in this dimension.



Radar transmits a pulse Measures reflected echo (backscatter )



In the case of imaging radar, the radar moves along a flight path and the area illuminated by the radar, or footprint, is moved along the surface in a swath, building the image as it does so.

Fisker Ocean to Debut 4D Digital-Imaging Radar—What Is It?
Imaging radar is a radar application that creates two-dimensional images of landscapes by illuminating an area with radio waves and recording the reflected light. It works similarly to a camera, but instead of using a lens and film, imaging radar uses an antenna and digital computer to record images.

Imaging radar has many uses, including:

Monitoring crops
Imaging radar can monitor crop growth, detect diseases, and assess soil moisture levels.

Flood monitoring
Imaging radar can track changes in water levels and soil moisture to monitor the situation on the ground and predict floods.

Forest health
Imaging radar can monitor forest health, track deforestation, and map wetlands.

Earthquake and landslide assessment
Imaging radar can assess the situation after an earthquake or landslide.

Search and rescue
Imaging radar can be used for search and rescue operations in remote locations.

Autonomous vehicles
Imaging radar can be used in autonomous vehicles to map the environment around the vehicle and detect hazards.

Imaging radar is superior to regular radar in several ways, including:
Vertical detection: Imaging radar can detect vertically, providing 3D information.
Precision: Imaging radar is more precise than regular radar.
Range: Imaging radar can detect objects at longer distances than regular radar.
Object length measurement: Imaging radar can measure the length of objects.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can be nephrotoxic and increase the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The risk of AKI increases with lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and decreases with prehydration.

Older versions of GBCAs can also increase the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a rare but serious disease that can cause multisystem organ failure and respiratory failure. NSF can lead to disability, restricted mobility, and death. However, the true mortality rate is likely unknown due to underreporting and possible misdiagnosis.

The FDA and healthcare community are aware of the effects of GBCAs on people with kidney disease, and there haven't been any new cases of NSF in over 10 years.

Yes, gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can be a risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD):

Older GBCAs
Older GBCAs can increase the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a rare but serious disease that can cause thickening of the skin, organs, and other tissues. The FDA has issued warnings about specific GBCAs that were responsible for most cases of NSF.

Newer GBCAs
Newer GBCAs, called group II agents, are generally safe for people with kidney disease, including those on dialysis.

Gadolinium nephrotoxicity
Gadolinium nephrotoxicity can occur in some conditions, such as kidney impairment, and can lead to subclinical kidney injury. This injury can decrease kidney reserve and may eventually manifest as CKD.

Gadolinium is a rare earth metal that is toxic, but it is bound to chelating molecules in its injectable form to block its dangerous effects. Most of these molecules are then filtered through the kidneys and eliminated.

I posted something a ways back on Vetinary vaxxes they give our pets, as well. We luv them so l want to explain that some Vets went up against BIG Pharma with data collected in regards to rabies vax. This Vet said: "I can't in good faith and according to my Hippocratic Oath over-vax ppls dogs anymore and kill them"! He explained quite irately that Vets must give the same dose for all size dogs! Or they are in jeopardy of loosing their license to Practice! So basically, a 30lb dog gets the same dose as a 90+ lb dog! They also don't need them every 3yrs. Lions have shown they only need one rabies vax per a Lifetime. Ofcourse we are talking different species but they wouldn't let him get to the the piles of data collected. Our dogs aren't living as long dogs did 3+ decades ago. I raise GSDs and my Alpha male made it thru major surgery. Prior he had blood work done and they said he was in good health for surgery. 4mths later his recovery was remarkable and his fur was growing back. He was 7yrs old and the Vet said it was OK to give him his 3rd rabies. A mth later he wouldn't eat and also vomited. He went downhill in 24hrs and he had no control over his quivering muscles! Absolutely terrifying to see a 115lb, fearless dog who could walk past fireworks and not flinch; crash like he did! I rushed him to the Vet and she thought he'd be OK until the phone rang at 2pm. I knew he had died and it was during lockdowns. 😮‍💨

I was so 💔. I spent hrs training him. He'd give his Life for mine and to see his lifeless eyes that watched over me sent me into darkness. They later told me he had cancer. The End_just like that! The Vet in the vid said one awful side effect of this overdosing is cancer! I won't get started on the Pet Food Industry that robs us and our dogs of nutrition. It's the same for ppl and we should end this 'Sick Care System'. It's GENOCIDE of all living creatures and especially our kids who we try to protect with our lives! While they are poisoned! ☣️

Lebby from ASM Q&A, I will agree with you, this technology has taken some time. But then when I think back to other technologies that I worked on where there is incumbent technology, there is a laser ray in this phone called a VCSEL. I’ve worked on this in 1990/1991 with Motorola, never before face ID applications. We worked on it then, or optical interconnects for data centres or central office switches, as we called them at the time. But it took about a decade or more for that technology to take off. Now there’s a hundred billion of these lasers. If you look at OLEDs and the first OLEDs were being worked on in the early 90s. It took a long time. But it gets to a point where it just becomes ubiquitous. I’ve worked on some technologies and I’ve seen the timelines. If you’re asking the question, would I like this to go faster? Yes, I would. Are we achieving an industry average with this brand new technology to displace incumbents? I think we are. We’re not behind. As investors you may look at this and go, well, it’s taking a long time to get to revenue. But are we really behind the curve? I don’t think we are. That’s why I’m excited. I don’t feel that we’re behind. I feel we’re on a threshold of something huge!! Tier ones are looking at our technology. I can’t answer the question about their decision process because they’re big companies, but we’re engaged from the engineers all the way up to the executive office. We’re engaged at the right levels. We’re working that issue as hard as we can.


Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he clearly said that everything was ready (stability, scaling etc) and the time line was fully intact and there were no changes to that. Tier 1’s are very interested and the number of them significantly increased after OFC demo’s.

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174302051

Exactly!! meanwhile Longs are being throttled here, I can't post much while Shorts and FAKE Longs mudsling at me and other Longs here NONSTOP!!!

Fact is LWLG has multiple products already, they have multiple versions of it's Perk Polymer, the latest being Perk 6, now available for Licensing, in addition they have a 200Gb modulator that is now capable of being produced at several Foundries and on large 200mm Wafers including the Poling being performed at Wafer scale something Shorts said was impossible, Lebby has told investors that Customers could use these modulators in quantities of 4 per Transceiver device to produce an 800Gbs Transceiver currently, but the preference of the large Transceiver companies (Cisco etc) would be to use the single chip modulator array (4x200) which is still under construction but Lebby announced publicly at PECC that it would be ready sometime in 2024, but the individual modulators would be used in Sampling now while the single chip modulator array (4x200) would be used in mass commercialization, Lebby is still on track with his long-standing Timeline of Customer Acceptance and Ramp in 2024 (see Slide 38 from 2022 ASM) and has not backed down on his SAM/SOM guidance, Shorts are the LYING SCAMMERS period!!

https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/23d26d3e-c498-431f-ba5c-2250e5f374cb/c1234fc8-c29c-4282-dc60-1afe2a8e4a95?origin=2

Remember that it is because of the following two main reasons that Tier 1 interest has skyrocketed in recent months

1) the early 2024 "Big Milestone" achieved of success in Mass Production of LWLG modulators on Foundries large 200mm Wafers

2) the INCREDIBLE reliability/stability data collected/presented at ECOC 2023 and then even more so at OFC in March 2024

Investors have learned INCREDIBLE Developments in 2024 so far!!! here is a summary of things investors have learned form OFC in March 2024, and Lebby's LD Micro Interview in April, as well as Lebby's Belgium visit/presentations in April

1) Lebby has LWLG modulators being implemented at SEVERAL Foundries on large 200mm Wafers now beginning in early 2024!! Lebby declared it a "BIG MILESTONE"!!!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174278606

2) Lebby has achieved Volume Scale Poling on 200mm Wafers!!! (successfully able to Pole Thousands of Devices at a time!!)

3) Lebby's LWLG team of seven completed demonstrations at OFC to over 20 potential Customers!! NDA's now estimated at 40 companies

4) the response to the OFC demos has been so overwhelming that Lebby claims the Tier 1's "being PULLED along" has become more like "being dragged along" (a good problem to have!!!)

Spekkie posted this
, Important take away we are working with multiple tier ones, tripled since a few weeks after OFC , wow we are golden

5) The Customer Funnel slide is updated and now showing greater than 20 Prospects and greater than 10 Leads, where in the ASM presentation it was only greater than 12 Prospects and 5 Leads, so about DOUBLED since the ASM!!!!

6) at OFC Google had a shout out to (LWLG) EOP on their slide for hetero integration.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174276893

7) KCC reported "the transceiver partner is a giant company that is dedicating a lot of their own resources to LWLG’s development."
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174279401

8) Lebby also showcased that LWLG's Perk 6 is NOW ready and available for Licensing !!!

9) Lebby reported that 3rd party ETH Zurich set world record performance with LWLG Polymers running at 400Gbs per lane enabling 4 lane 1600gbs!!! This ensures LWLG ALREADY capable to meet the future Roadmap

10) The response from the Tier 1's is so overwhelming such that Lebby is 100% focused on SEVERAL Tier 1's who are battling it out for Lebby/LWLG's time and attention to bring 4x200 powered Transceivers to market ASAP!!

Folks this is a Cinderella story 40 years in the making!!!

For OVER 40 YEARS the Industry has tried UNSUCCESSFULLY!!

IBM, Intel, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, DuPont, AT&T Bell Labs, Honeywell, Motorola, GE, HP, 3M, and others in addition to numerous Universities and U.S. Government Agencies, DARPA, DOD, etc have all attempted to produce high-performance, high-stability electro-optic polymers

The Industry combined has spent literally in the Billions R&D $$ UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to do what LWLG has done!

LWLG's technology has been successfully developed in much less time than what the Industry spent, and at a cost less than 5% of what the Industry spent screwing around with unstable fragile molecules for 40 years!

RIDDLE ME THIS >> WHY WOULD THE INDUSTRY SPEND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF $$ ON SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DESPERATELY WANT???????

According to the Associated Press, "in addition to its namesake beer, Pabst Brewing Co. makes Colt 45, Old Milwaukee and Schlitz, in addition to regional brews such as Lone Star, Rainier and Old Style. Pabst was acquired in 2010 by C. Dean Metropoulos & Co., which is known for investing in food brands, including Twinkie maker Hostess."

Court gives RFK Jr. green light to sue Biden-Harris admin over censorship
Joseph MacKinnon
August 23, 2024
Kennedy has an opportunity to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable that others were denied in Murthy v. Biden.
Afederal court rekindled hopes this week that the Biden-Harris administration could be held accountable over its efforts to have critics censored during the pandemic, ruling that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Children's Health Defense, an organization he leads, have Article III standing to sue.

The U.S. Supreme Court let the Democratic administration off the hook in June for its well-documented efforts to shut down critics of its COVID-19 policies and preferred narratives during the pandemic — policies and narratives that have been shown in the years since to have been in many cases unfounded and/or destructive.

The court's 6-3 ruling in Murthy v. Biden asserted that the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with other plaintiffs, lacked standing to sue the Democratic administration.
