Cool - post and 'facts' without source ... go ahead!
LQMT = Liability Quantity Moldable Tensile
LQMT = Longterm Qualified Manufacturing Technique
Facts keep facts ....
.... and they are fantastic ... NOT! Because this brilliant Management of LQMT force all shareholders to talk about MTRN, Engel, APPL, Sterling, TSLA and more. That sucks and bring us how many steps forward? Zero!
For me this fairytale sounds like someone leaved his hood for finding e.g. sunshine and moonlight and besides his way to find that stuff he/she/they stumbled about a diamant and got broken legs because of watched the sky. Put the diamant into rucksack and even don't know how this 'stone' will shine at night and day ....
I hope someday this rucksack gets damaged and diamant can be glossy again to be a shining star ... at the sky!
Yap ... but he also told about a huge amount of money which needs to be invested in supply chain and adequate technology development.
We just heard about 20M$ by Apple, didn't we?
as I wrote .... Step back!
I just wanted to remember!
Thanks so far.
Step back!
Liquidmetal Inventor: Apple Will Use It In A 'Breakthrough Product'
http://www.businessinsider.com/liquidmetal-inventor-atakan-peker-apple-will-use-it-in-a-breakthrough-product-2012-5
I agree fully but Mr. Steipp (and LQMT in general) stays in a MTA with Apple right now.
This will and can be the only reason for me for that kind of transparent information style.
And if so he's doing his job very accurate and almost anxious.
We'll may have positive side effects by MTRN.
MTRN starts with +3%

There is absolut nothing intend to present this year - how does that work?
I mean it's almost 2 weeks ago where they start providing a new available alloy (LM105).
There is no need for PR?

Apple, GT Advanced Technologies, And The 'New' Vertical Integration
" .....
Why this Deal is No Liquidmetal
There was great anticipation for what the licensing arrangement between Apple and Liquidmetal Technologies (OTCQB:LQMT) would yield. In short, the reality has been… not much. Unless you consider, a sim-ejector tool to be a significant advancement in personal electronics, the deal (which will expire in February 2014) has not produced the breathtaking mock-ups of alloy devices that were created when this partnership was first announced. And there is still hope that this partnership can produce something substantive for future iDevices, but unfortunately, not many are holding their breaths. It should be noted that Liquidmetal Technologies' components in Apple's devices may go beyond the sim ejector tool, but the fact that nobody has been able to identify core components probably means that the application has been extremely limited.

Great - thank you for providing that overview.
Unfortunately I wouldn't expect that much by Mr. Steipp regarding perspectives or expectations.
I guess there will be definitely more input and forward looking by Engel, Nypro and Sterling. If Mr. Steipp would be the man-of-that-match he needs to perform that 'revolution' not that small as it is right now. Mr. Steipp will be there because CEO of Engel-N.A. is attendee and when there is potential for common close work or contracts then Mr. Steipp has to be there because of respect and act of courtesy. This is a minimum and often this will be an admission ticket. Hope so!
On the other hand please imagine when Mr. Steipp will start recruiting other parties at this event. That doesn't work in my mind!
No, I think he will be just there because of directors and 'lions' there. In Germany we call it 'Elefantenrunde' (almost like heavyweight round).

Hi gorgol,
do we have to make a cut between talking about liquid metal (Ambri) with potential innovation for Tesla and liquidmetal (trademark of LQMT)?

Apple iPhone 6 Release Confirmed with 4.5-Inch Sapphire Display, Canonical CEO Confirms 3-Year Supply
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/540238/20140224/iphone-6-release-apple.htm#.UwtPC7Qz3fU
For me it is the supply chain (LQMT --> Materion) together with main topic of founding this institute (high strength steel manufacturers or institute will continue the work ... modern metals ) with the adressed industries medical devices, engines, commercial aircraft, and Department of Defense systems and vehicles.
I guess that LQMT will be present at the background with their latest alloys (LM105).
Obviously there are no revenues announced but development is still going on, costs will be capped, reputation will increase and prototypes will be finished for potential customers.
Detroit To Get $140 Million Metals Manufacturing Institute
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WWJ) — President Barack Obama Tuesday will announce that the Detroit area is getting a $148 million Department of Defense advanced manufacturing institute concentrating on lightweight and modern metals manufacturing.
The winning bid came from a Detroit-area consortium of businesses and universities, led by the Columbus, Ohio-based manufacturing technology nonprofit EWI, an unnamed White House official said Saturday.
The Chicago area got the other manufacturing center, one that will concentrate on digital manufacturing and design technologies.
The Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation – or LM3I – Institute will be based in Canton Township. It will receive $70 million in federal funding over five years, matched by another $78 million from the consortium partners. The funding includes $10 million from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and additional dollars from the state of Ohio.
University of Michigan officials said Sunday that the institute is expected to bring 10,000 jobs to the region within the next five years.
According to the White House, the 60-member consortium will pair the world’s leading aluminum, titanium, and high strength steel manufacturers with universities and laboratories pioneering new technology development and research.
UM officials said the institute will be charged with moving cutting-edge lightweight metals out of the research lab and into tomorrow’s cars, trucks, airplanes and ships for both the commercial and military sectors. Lighter vehicles for the military, industry and consumers, alike, have better performance and use less fuel. They can carry larger loads and travel the same distances at lower cost and with fewer carbon emissions. And in the case of the military, they can stand up to heavy weapons while still being easily transportable.
Most of the 10,000 jobs will be in the metal stamping, metalworking, machining and casting industries that are dominant in the Midwest region. The institute will aim to add 100 more metal-related engineering professionals per year and 1,000 more skilled trade workers. Within three years, it should be offering advanced training to an additional 1,000 current employees per year.
President Obama will give further details about the institute in a speech on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
Among the LM3I Institute’s 34 corporate partners are ABS, AEM, Alcoa Technology, Boeing, Comau, Easom Automation, EWI, Fabrisonic, Flash Bainite Steel, GE, Honda North American Services, Huys, Infinium Inc., Innovative Weld Solutions, ITW, Lockheed Martin, Luvata, Materion, MesoCoat, MTI, NanoSteel Co., Optomec, Phoenix Integration, PowderMet, RealWeld, RTI International Metals, SaCell, Southwest Research Institute, Steel Warehouse Co., ThermoCalc, Timet, Trumpf Inc., UTRC and Wolf Robotics.
University partners are the Colorado School of Mines, Michigan State University, Michigan Technological University, Ohio State University, University of Kentucky, University of Michigan, University of Notre Dame, University of Tennessee and Wayne State University.
Organizational partners are the American Foundry Society, American Welding Society, ASM International, the Center for Automotive Research, Columbus State Community College, Conexus Indiana, Det Norske Veritas, Focus: Hope, International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, Ivy Tech, Macomb Community College, Magnet, Pellissippi State Community College, the states of Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio, and the Southeast Michigan Workforce Intelligence Network.
The government says the institute will continue the work that many manufacturers are doing in lightweight and modern metals — including making cars nearly 40 percent lighter without sacrificing strength. There are also defense applications, like armored vehicles strong enough to withstand a roadside bomb but light enough for helicopter transport.
The intent is to make the U.S. more competitive by expanding domestic markets for products made with lightweight and modern metals such as automobiles, wind turbines, medical devices, engines, commercial aircraft, and Department of Defense systems and vehicles. It will also lead to significant reductions in manufacturing and energy costs.
The White House noted that after shedding jobs for a decade, American manufacturers have added 622,000 jobs since early 2010, including more than 80,000 over the past four months, and that manufacturing production is growing at its fastest pace in over a decade.
And, officials said, the institutes will fulfill the president’s pledge in his 2013 State of the Union to establish three new manufacturing innovation institutes from existing resources. The first of these institutes was announced in January, a Department of Energy-led Next Generation Power Electronics Manufacturing Innovation Institute in Raleigh, N.C.
The institutes are intended to bring together applied research and product development among business, academic and training institutions, and federal agencies to encourage more manufacturing in the U.S. — a “teaching factory” designed to help companies, most importantly smaller manufacturers, learn the latest production techniques and design, test and pilot new products and processes.
The Obama administration is proposing a national network of up to 45 manufacturing innovation institutes, which will require legislation from Congress.
The Chicago-based Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute also includes Midland-based Dow Chemical Co. and the University of Michigan.

Yes, thanks to seeking alpha and definitively NOT to Board of LQMT.
Happy Weekend!
Actually I don't mind but when global funds start keeping their eyes on LQMT 'facts' we need to be prepaired ...
Thank you moderator!
Now, we're in board of 'Liquidmetal Technologies (LQMT)'
It's a pitty and a kind of embarrassing for me that this board is called "Liquid Metal Tech (LQMT)" ... It needs to be called "Liquidmetal Tech (LQMT)"
... I mean it is not that liquid metal but a Bulk Metallic Glasses alloy, isn't it?
iWatch: It’s About The Ecosystem
by Carl Schlachte | February 21st, 2014
"... To build an ecosystem, Apple is going after sensor density on your wrist as a way of truly keeping “watch”. If they are building this thing called an “iWatch” then they are going to gather data about you from your wrist and let a developer community write apps to monetize that dataset. Apple will provide the platform and developers will provide the usability. Apple will take their usual cut. You can bet iWatches will have cutesy “change the clock face” functionality, or text message alerts, but those apps will be sitting over a dozen unseen sensors buried in a liquid metal bezel, looking out from underneath a scratch-resistant sapphire face. Apple will hand out developer tools and a set of APIs that enable the making of medical diagnostic apps a breeze. Apple will have thought through how iWatch data is synchronized and secure; they’ll have modeled app pricing in the forthcoming “iWatch store” and have Jony Ive designed interchangeable watch bands at the ready. Apple will have considered third party peripherals based on protocols on which they intend to collect royalties. Importantly Apple will have decided than an iWatch requires an M7 motion coprocessor in your iPhone. This M7 requirement will force a mini upgrade cycle in iPhones for buyers of iWatches who are “stuck” on an iPhone 4. Ecosystems feed themselves after awhile. ..."

iPhone 6 Price 'Significantly' Increases Due To Sapphire Glass Display Costs And Everything You Need To Know About the Sapphire Glass
" .... According to Cult of Mac, "Sapphire is around 67 per cent heavier than Gorilla Glass, with a density of 3.98 g/cm3 compared to the 2.54 g/cm3 used for Apple's existing iOS devices." Previously, sapphire has been used in most mid and high-level watches, barcode sensors and semiconductors because of its resistance to damage. ..."

It's not that iPhone only ... iWatch will definetly contact your skin in the same way health monitoring systems will do (in-ear, chest belt, foot sensors ...)
For Aplle the new LM105 will bring more performance and understanding (marketing activities) to public.
Now it needs to be manufactuable and certified.

Tom Steipp, Business Executive, Offers Advice for Staying Grounded in Faith and Succeeding in Business
http://findinggodinsiliconvalley.com/tom-steipp-business-executive-offers-advice-for-staying-grounded-in-faith-and-succeeding-in-business/
Hello everyone ... this is my first comment here. Greetings from Germany. :)
I would like to give a short reminder to LQMT homepage - BLOG.
"Hi Stefan. There was no measurable mass loss or visible surface effects from those tests, except for LM601 and ZB. We stopped that test, and are now setting up a more rigorous set of tests. The new tests will have only one alloy in each solution, and we will test a variety of solutions. The encouraging item was the success of LM105 & LM106, which are non-Beryllium containing alloys. It performed as well as our main alloy (LM1b), and so we are continuing to qualify LM105 to add it to our product offering.

Since Friday we know - it works! :)
On the other hand I'm with doubts of missing revenue in 2013. I guess we'll see by end of February dips again.
