nice internal mid/camera frames
not much of a camera bump for lidar/improved camera maybe thats why its thicker?
too shiny/smooth/polished to be aluminum so pro model is either stainless again or new bmg.
hard to tell from video maybe a lip/grove around the inside of the external case/frame?
cut out on one side useless for multi directional antenna maybe for smart connector/magnetic charging and not the mmwave 5g model?
maybe its the usual fake/knockoff that always come out same time as new iphones?
whatever it may be the best part about this years apple rumors/leaks is the ‘first, volume, recurring, orders’ statement from lqmt
so no matter what/who the parts/customers are lqmt has finally just started commercializing bmg and we have revenue coming in that wil grow every quarter
your right about lm106c thanks for the info thought it was just 105 that passed biocompatibility
so thats now 2 alloys that lqmt has for medical
https://www.liquidmetal.com/liquidmetal-lm106c-is-now-iso-10993-certified/
dont know where those reports got their 'facts' from.
possibilities
-106 has passed biocompatibility but has not yet been reported
more likely
-eon/yihao hot crucible machines 'improved processing methods' to work with lm105
q3'18
the biocompatibility properties/superiority/cost/manufacturing of lm105 over other alloys is impressive the future looks very bright for lqmt in the medical market segment.
lots of gems below
lots of good info in that patent thanks games
tell me about it still waiting for that saturday $35 a share prediction
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=158128411
missed that last bit true medical parts have a higher sale price per item than components for ce.
more profit for us so cant complain if thats the volume orders.
regarding bb sounding presidential in those emails that look to have started 1h 2018 it reminds me he got those 4m stock option in november 2018.
lugee has not issued large stock options to anyone else even his own appointed board members never got options in the millions.
so it might have been a reward for securing orders from arthrex and/or outmaneuvering/discovering what kang was up to.
it would have been a disaster for lqmt if kang secured arthrex as a client and had prometal make the parts and even more disastrous if other medical companies saw what arthrex did and followed suit also going through kang.
100% TRUE
ah ok well that was a tease but nonetheless bmg does have advantages over other alloys as that comparison shows and the arthrex emails show them to be very keen on bmg.
sooner or latter $$$$
2 possibilities - there will be a far greater monetary benefit to lugee and perhaps eon shareholders if some revenue is registered through lqmt instead of eon alone.
- lqmt secured/researched new bmg parts/products directly from/with tesla.
i look forward to hanging pictures of bruce & lugee on my wall right next to a copy of my lqmt holdings.
the dynamic duo who made us all very rich.
tesla gears is another possibility laura andersen from tesla motors is one of the authors

3 more research papers on bmg from the tesla materials engineer
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Laura_Andersen5
arthrex displaying on its website a comparison table outlining the benefits of bmg over nitinol is a very positive indication of future use.
thanks for the research/post.
exactly the price of manufacturing is already priced into parts and 'economies of scale' further reduces/spreads out that cost and machines can have their molds changed for different parts orders further spreading/minimizing production costs.
nice work piecing those two comments together
if conmed wasnt a multi billion dollar company they would sound like a fanboy chugging the lqmt koolaid
2 years developing next gen med devices
validating multi cavity molds
prepping yihao/machinery/alloys/processes for high volume production
higher revenue per part for medical
cant wait for november
hot damn those are some amazing numbers and even more impressive in percentage (200%?) increase/turnaround for only 6 months compared to previous 12 months and as paymemf said it was only from preproduction since volume production started july
its looking very good for november revenue no matter who the orders are for
thanks for posting
yihao was able to reach 90+ machines as of 2019 so very feasible other much larger contract manufactures have also increased bmg machinery and as you say those products have been is research/delay for years all while lqmt/yihao have been improving cavity mold numbers/production/machines/alloys and that was at the end of september q3 2018 almost 2 years ago.
so for the limited 3 market mmwave 5g iphone pro max and lower volume headphones/air power and years of research/manufacturing improvements chances are good yihao/other cm are ready/have capacity for volume production.
good point limited markets means limited numbers easy for yihao/lqmt or other cm to meet production numbers and like you said then scale up/expand in coming years
perfect summery jrs5 and its backed up by the rumor the antenna needs internal space having it on one side/edge of the external frame won’t work thru just 1 cutout no room to have 4 antennas for each side and it would be too costly/power drain.
the internal mid frame also needs to be rf transparent for the mmwave antenna.
as payMEmf says demetallization.

the new apple headphones look interesting
segmented headband thats very flexible with ‘spring band’
foldable earpads with ‘spring pin’
rumored for sept/oct

it was posted here a while back cant remember who first posted about medtronic and a link to that research paper i think there was also mention about heart pacemakers but not sure about that didnt find anything saved on it
a third potential is medtronic/covidien
https://www.medtronic.com/covidien/en-us/products/hand-instruments-ligation/graspers.html
they shared a research paper with lqmt
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0921509318314916
can not wait for it to happen.
im ready now for retirement lolz
could be both and if not both now then eventually it will be and then more 'market participants' will follow.
ground floor baby
10 minutes to go but seriously if todays open was not price manipulation then i dont know what the term means.
someones are trying to shake lose some shares/fold weak hands
words of wisdom handsomehank the short term swings mean nothing for the longs
hinged apple laptop new design so should be the slimmer/mini led/apple silicon rumors
looks like small hinges/gears are going to be in more devices
https://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2020/09/apple-wins-a-patent-for-an-all-new-macbook-form-factor-that-just-happens-to-be-ergonomically-friendly.html
you can see the new hinges here no info on what they are made from new designed/engineered hinge shown at 2.45
the youtuber is loving the new hinge
thats 2 more patents in the lqmt portfolio
continuous precision forming of bmg
bmg composite further hardened with zirconium carbide ceramic
black tech baby
seen patents for liquidmetal home button so yeah thats just one part of the future ipad/se and if they both have wireless charging like a rumor predicted then those all metal enclosures have to be made with bmg.
the bmg laptop display frame at the yihao/eon booth was from 2018 thats 2 years to get enough machines ready for mass production.
production will only get bigger from here on out
that makes lots of sense apple already uses magnets to align devices/accessories together.
connecting pieces of the puzzle i love it.
