Lenovo knew A LOT about hinges.
They invented Yoga Book.
With that being said, Laptop is a micro device rather than a nano device.
Tolerance requirements grow linearly with size increase.
BMG is not ME ONLY in that application
Eontec is state funded.
They are not exactly strapped for cash.
Hope this help.
Correct

Eontec LiquidMetal Industrialization has gradually entered the good environment
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbd.com.cn%2Farticles%2F2019-12-17%2F1394248.html
Recently, the concept of TWS headsets has become hot, and related stocks including Eontec have received high attention. It is reported that Eontec has bulk supply of LiquidMetal parts to Sony headphones. In the field of TWS headphones, Sony's position needs no further explanation.
In fact, apart from headphones, Eontec's LiquidMetal materials are widely used in Consumer Electronics, Automotive and other industries. At the same time, the company's layout in the field of Magnesium alloys has also achieved good results. A new material giant is taking shape.
LiquidMetal has been widely used
LiquidMetal, also known as "Amorphous Alloy", has characteristics such as good strength, high hardness, and near-net-shape forming (referring to the use of a small amount of processing or no processing after forming a part, which can be used as a forming technology for mechanical components) and other characteristics Used in smart wear, mobile phones, automotive high-end parts and other fields. Eontec's layout of liquid metals can be traced back to 2010. The company has cooperated deeply with the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and introduced an innovative scientific research team composed of researchers, professors, etc. from the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The team mainly studies the industrial application of Bulk Amorphous Alloys.
Today, in terms of LiquidMetal material Research and Development, molding equipment, molding process, surface treatment, etc., Eontec has completed the full chain integration. The company has three core technologies in bulk forming technology, material composition and equipment manufacturing. It is one of the few companies in the world that has been able to publicly announce the ability to form large Bulk LiquidMetal. It also has a world-leading production of Zirconium-based non-Ferrous metals Crystal Alloy production line.
For a listed company, if it cannot achieve large-scale application, no matter how good the technology is, it will not bring actual benefits to the company and it will not return the support of shareholders. Fortunately, in the pace of industrialization of LiquidMetal, Eontec is also at the forefront.
Eontec's LiquidMetal industry application is mainly divided into two major sections. One is the Consumer Electronics structure. The company is one of the very few suppliers in the industry to realize the commercial use of LiquidMetal precision structural parts in the field of Consumer Electronics. It has established cooperative relationships with Huawei, OPPO, Lens Technology and other well-known customers.
From the outside perspective, due to the competition in the Consumer Electronics market, the competition from purely pursuing shipments and cost-effective products has shifted to high-end boutique and differentiated competition. The refined route is becoming more and more light, thin, beautiful, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength in consumer electronics. In this case, the application prospects of LiquidMetal with outstanding performance advantages are expected.
Especially with the advent of the 5G era, the application progress of LiquidMetal in the field of Consumer Electronics may be significantly advanced. It is understood that the LiquidMetal Face ID bracket produced by Eontec has been supplied in batches to well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO.
In addition, the appearance of folding screen mobile phones has provided new application opportunities for liquid metal. Hinge technology is one of the breakthrough points for folding screen mobile phones. LiquidMetal has a very good forming ability and dimensional stability is very good. It can meet the requirements of the thickness, strength and accuracy of the hinge support, which is one of the main solutions of the support. In this regard, Eontec has cooperated with multiple customers to develop hinges and follow up mass production and supply.
The second is Auto parts. Eontec has long been committed to the research and development of lightweight new materials for new energy vehicles, with strong lean production capabilities and complete industrial chain advantages. As a supplier, the company has entered the supply chain of BYD, Geely, LG and other companies. The company's LiquidMetal car door lock has been successfully applied to Tesla's new energy vehicles.
It is worth mentioning that, with good biocompatibility, LiquidMetal can also be used in Medical equipment fields such as scalpels, bone plates, artificial teeth, biosensors, etc. With its resistance to space radiation and no grain boundaries, LiquidMetal can be used in the Aerospace industry.
Facing the broad application prospects of LiquidMetal, Eontec is also continuously expanding its industrialization capabilities. In July this year, the company and the Qingxi Town People's Government of Dongguan City signed a project investment framework agreement to jointly build a LiquidMetal project. In August, the company signed a cooperative investment framework agreement with Sanxiang New Materials to invest in LiquidMetal projects together.
Resource integration platform is respected.
It should be pointed out that Eontec is not just a LiquidMetal materials Research and Development enterprise. In essence, the company is a new material giant with strong growth potential.
As mentioned earlier, Eontec has achieved many results in the research and development of lightweight new materials for new energy vehicles. The company has leading R&D strength in the fields of mold research and development design, new material technology, surface treatment, etc. It has more than 100 aluminum-magnesium alloy die-casting machines and the nation's leading 4200T aluminum-magnesium alloy die-casting machine. In the first half of 2019, the company's auto parts business income reached 150 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.65%.
The expansion of Eontec New Energy Vehicle's lightweight new materials business is obvious. In the semi-annual report of 2019, the company disclosed that the first phase of the Chaohu Eon Yunhai Light Alloy Precision Die Casting Production Base Project has been put into operation, and the second phase of construction has also started gradually. In August this year, the company signed a four-party cooperation investment framework agreement with Ningde Times, Sanxiang New Materials and Wanshun Group, and plans to jointly invest 2 billion yuan to build a magnesium alloy material project. In the company's view, this cooperation can use Ningde's local rich new energy vehicle-related industrial resources and good supporting environment to create a first-class magnesium alloy manufacturing enterprise and develop and improve the new energy vehicle-related industrial supporting chain.
In the field of medical magnesium alloys, Eontec has a deeper layout.
As early as 2011, Eontec developed high-end Magnesium-based medical device products by introducing a high-level innovative scientific research team. In mid-July this year, Eontec announced that it had received the clinical trial approval for medical devices issued by the State Drug Administration. . The company's Biodegradable metal screw has submitted CE certification information to relevant foreign notified bodies, and is currently awaiting certification.
This product is highly anticipated by Eontec. According to industry experts' predictions, the average annual compound growth rate of China's Orthopedic industry in the next 10-15 years is about 10% -15%, and the market size of this medical magnesium alloy material alone can reach 12 billion yuan. From this perspective, the potential market for its degradable magnesium bone fixation screws is huge.
From the perspective of some brokerage analysts, the core competitiveness of Eontec is not just a certain technology or product, but its ability to acquire, research and develop and integrate new materials and technologies.
Anxin Securities has pointed out that in the field of new materials, some universities and research institutes have a large number of ideas and patents, but they have not achieved industrialization for various reasons. And Lugee Li, the chairman of Eontec, has a strong ability to integrate scientific research resources and industrialization, providing an excellent incubation platform for the industrialization of these new materials. At the same time, as a listed company, Eontec has provided mixed reform and incentive channels for scientific research institutes. In the view of Anxin Securities, this gives Eontec the potential to become a platform company for the industrialization and listing of advanced new material varieties, which is the core logic of the company's development and growth.
History of the zirconium sponge patent
This very patent was filed back in 10/2015 by Apple (assigned to Materion). It was published on 04/2018 (not sure if it is granted). Someone can verify that.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/9938605.html
Latest one is simply "refresh" the previous one. It was filed on 03/2018 (still assigned to Materion). It was published on 12/2019.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/10494698.html
Both patents are from Yurko who is Apple employee since 06/2015

Protect our Brand against unaffiliated third partieS
https://www.liquidmetal.com/protecting-our-brand/
Liquidmetal recently has become aware of unauthorized uses of our trademarks and copyrighted materials by unaffiliated third partieS which appear to make claims or suggestions of ongoing ties to the Company. These partieS employ ambiguous language and misuse licensed trademarks and imply a present affiliation that bears no resemblance to reality.
The materials employed by these partieS detail and appear to coopt our efforts to develop specific consumer, automotive, and medical applications. While we take appropriate action, we ask that our investors, partners, and customers remain vigilant. Take care in checking the source of such claims; the most valuable information about Liquidmetal can be found on our website (www.liquidmetal.com) or in official media statements attributed to Liquidmetal. If material or claims related to Liquidmetal are found elsewhere, a wise reader would exercise caution.
We maintain a robust international patent portfolio on materials, processes, and applications for bulk metallic glasses, and we have been selective in how and to whom we license access to that technology. We work closely with outside counsel to develop and implement IP strategies to protect our patents and trademarks from infringement, and it is regrettable that we have encountered customer confusion in recent weeks.
Our investors, partners, and customers should rest assured that we are taking this matter seriously—communicating and clarifying for those confused, consulting outside counsel, and acting directly with the offending partieS to prevent further confusion. Liquidmetal management has made this a priority from the top down. From Professor Li: “The Liquidmetal brand is well-known and it can be very tempting for competitorS around the world to use it for themselves. It is a strong asset to the Company, and we will protect its value.”
Successful Lawsuit will SET PRECEDENCE.

Multi source is basic requirement from all whales
LM106c from LQMT/Eontec is good for the whale, e.g. whale would like to have second source from Materion
Ford Patent is one example of such and plenty of Apple patent has reference multi BMG source/type
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=152527790&txt2find=lm107
Lugee welcome the BMG ECO system but MUST "sole source" the "LiquidMetal" brand name.
It means whale can order ingot from Materion but Materion must pay brand name license fee to LQMT. This was the same arrangement as LM105.
KANG case will SET PRECEDENCE for the brand "LiquidMetal"
BMG is not a good thermal conductive material.
However, it is the best thermal diffuser.
Thermal dissipation capablility is "linear" to surface area of the material. This is why radiator has a lot of "fins" over 3D space.
It is easy to build a car radiator, it is next to impossible to build a "nano" radiator.
Hence, BMG "me only" application
It is all about the "nano precision" attribute of BMG.
In 5G mmWave world, (not to be confused with 5G sub6 world in near term), there will be two major hurdles the tech world needs to conquer.
1. RF interference (which require non metallic transparency) from the MIMO antenna.
2. Thermo runaway potential (which require thermo energy diffusing from red hot silicon die)

BMG means BulkMG
This is why Lugee can achieve 1000g while Bill Johnson can only
achieve 80g.

2.1. Entire Process Vacuum High Pressure Die Casting (EPV-HPDC) Equipment
The EPV-HPDC equipment was modified based on a standard horizontal cold chamber HPDC machine (Eontec Co., Ltd, Dongguan, China) with a mold clamping force of 280 T. The schematic diagram of the developed EPV-HPDC is presented in Figure 1. The entire casting processes, including the melting, pouring, filling die, and solidification, are integrated into an airtight chamber, which ensures the formation of the components in an extreme vacuum environment. The sleeve, plunger, and mold here were made from heat resistant steel (H13). Unlike the vertical HPDC solution proposed by Inoue et al. [17,18], in the present horizontal EPV-HPDC, the melting of the mother alloy is performed in an oxide crucible, which can avoid heating the metal by a sleeve and can improve the operating temperature range of the equipment. The highest smelting temperature in the present EPV-HPDC is 1773 K, and the highest casting temperature is 1533 K, which enables the formation of most of the glass formers. The temperature of the molten metal is detected and controlled using an infrared sensor. It should be emphasized here that the EPV-HPDC process is different from the injection of a molding solution of BMGs [11], as well as from the traditional vacuum assisted HPDC [19]. The layout of the vertical and hot crucible in the present EVP-HPDC can guarantee a more uniform and controllable temperature field during heating, compared with that in the solution of horizontal and cold crucible proposed by Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA) [11]. With regard to the traditional vacuum assisted HPDC, it cannot be used to prepare the materials that are easily oxidized, because the vacuumizing in this process is triggered only when the molten metal is about to be filled in a mold cavity [19].

I am saying Ford patent (reference of LM107) file date predate LQMT PR release or LM106c.
Late news typically is more accurate.
Ford patent filing date was 5/22.
LQMT first PR of LM106c was in October
Until then it was named DC-106c in previous design guide back in 2018.
LM105 was still alive back in 2018 due to cry wolf medical contract hence electric upgrade for potential MIM oven addition.
During early 2019, Ford must have been disclosed the name of LM107 (instead of DC-106c). LQMT has decided at that point it shall be labeled with LM preface for branding reason.
At the time, LM106 will not be a good name since Materion already had licensed public domain Vit106a.
Some time past 5/22, LQMT obviously have finalized the name back to LM106c to go HEAD ON against Materion.
As we all know, it needs both machine and alloy to create the end product.
LQMT potential Customer would be informed that Vit106a will not work with Eon machine (that truly can produce BulkMG) while competitors can produce (non bulk) amorphous alloy.
Eg. If one wants >200 grams part, they have two choices.
Netshaping in one shot in less than 2 minute
According to latest Engel demo, Netshaping multiple 200 grams parts in up to 70 seconds each, one at a time, and then use robots to concatenate together and fused them with silicon plastic.
Your choice, customer. Not all 106 class alloy are created equal.
he loosened the window
look at the window move upon impact.
what a scam
Look at original ball dropping demo
Every time they raise the height of dropping, they loosen the glass plate holding.
I am ok with that magician illusion act (for stunt)
I am not ok to lie about your actual product.
STEVE JOB will never do this kind of DECEITFUL act.
Elasticity is a way to deflect force.
Unfortunately, a truck window glass cannot be a deflector.
Hence......boom
First part of demo is “illusion”
Last part of demo is “reality”
Question is why such demo
“Reality sucks”
LQMT sales person was asked the following question upon bouncing ball demo.
“What is some of the application of such unique characters of BMG?”
Answer from our sales person.
“So that we can show you this interesting demo”
If one unlock the bottom plate of the Liquidmetal demo, that bottom plate will bounce instead of the ball (if the ball is big enough.....Haha. )
Notice he cheated by letting the armor glass table not held down.
It bounced.
Hmm....where did I see that before....Hmm
Perhaps Steve Job should have demonstrated Antenna Gate on stage with iPhone introduction then
Just for Publicity.
