TNRO's revenue come Monday can be around 150M
Terra Nostra Resources Joint Venture Operations Achieve Substantial Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth
Los Angeles, CA (July 12, 2007) – Terra Nostra Resources Corporation (OTCBB: TNRO), majority owner of two China joint venture companies in the strategic copper and stainless steel industries, announced today that preliminary revenue figures for the fourth quarter joint venture operations are significantly increased over the prior quarter.
For the three months ending May 31, 2007, the Shandong Quanxin Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated revenues of $88.8 million, with a total 28,293 metric tons (MT) of billets and hot roll coil sold. This substantial increase over prior quarter revenues of $1.6 million is attributed to the successful ramp-up of production at the casting mill.
Shandong Jinpeng Metallurgical copper joint venture operations generated revenues of $44.5 million, from sales of 4,643 MT of electrolytic copper and copper rod, 1,372 MT of low-oxygen copper rod, 17,876 g of gold, and 1,598 kg of silver. This represents a 12.3% increase over the third quarter copper operations revenues of $39.6 million.
For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007, the Copper and Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated combined preliminary revenues of over $280 million, compared to prior year joint venture revenues of $106.7 million.
All TNRO has to do is to report better earnings and profit.. it is quite obvious that revenues will be huge around 150M-200M, based on increased revenues from the last 4 quarters...
TNRO
2007 revenues was 280M
2009 projected revenue per previous PR was 1.4B
so we can estimate roughly like revenuues for 2008 can be around 500M to 800M
so quarterly revenues can be between 150M to 200M in 2008
TNRO
HUGE REVENUES AND EARNINGS REPORT ON MONDAY
remember this
Terra Nostra, with its existing and under construction production capacity of 170,000 Metric Tonnes of electrolytic copper, is the 6th largest producer by capacity in China, and the only foreign (United States) majority owned. Terra Nostra’s fully operational 230,000 Metric Tonne capacity stainless steel casting facility, also the only foreign majority owned, places the Company as a top ten producer in China. Terra Nostra, by meeting only a minor portion of the annual demand for these two strategic metals, is projected to earn over US$1.4 Billion in fiscal year ending May 2009.

SBINET UPDATE
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMbj35dxqwIk&refer=home
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's vision of securing the U.S.'s southwestern border with a system of sensors and cameras faces a crucial field test this month as Boeing Co. tries to fix problems that have delayed the $8 billion project.
Cameras that take too long to focus and radar images obscured by falling raindrops were among the glitches that caused Boeing to miss a June deadline for the first stage of a so-called virtual fence along a 28-mile stretch in Arizona.
If the company gets the system to work, it would be in line for a lucrative payday, while the U.S. might be able to minimize the need for more costly physical barriers that are resented by Mexico. Bush's moribund immigration overhaul might also get a boost if confidence in border security rises.
But if administration officials can't demonstrate the system's effectiveness, ``they completely blow their own credibility'' on immigration enforcement, said Jessica Vaughan, an analyst at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, which favors tighter border controls.
The Arizona project, which features nine towers bristling with cameras, sensors, radar and satellite-communication links, is the initial phase of the Secure Border Initiative Net, a program introduced by the Department of Homeland Security in 2005.
Thousands of Miles
Nothing on the scale of SBInet has ever been attempted. DHS plans an electronic surveillance system to police the 2,000-mile southwestern border by 2013 and eventually the 5,000-mile northern border -- a distance almost double that spanned by the Great Wall of China.
The system must operate in harsh desert temperatures and overcome the difficulties of merging information from all of its sensors and cameras into a coherent picture.
The danger ``is to underestimate the difficulty of making it work in the real world,'' said Mohan Trivedi, director of the Computer Vision and Robotics Research Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego.
In June, Boeing engineers working on the initial phase discovered that when cameras turned toward a target, they often weren't focused or positioned at the right height. Key information from sensors and cameras also wasn't being transmitted to Border Patrol vehicles.
``You'd think there would be lab experimentation before you go out and embarrass everybody,'' said Representative Mark Souder, an Indiana Republican who favors reliance on physical barriers.
Burden of Proof
Boeing has contracts for only $67 million for its work so far and has to prove its competence in early tests before it gets the go-ahead to wire the whole southwestern border, said Brad Benson, a spokesman for DHS's Customs and Border Protection unit.
Recent performance improvements are encouraging, Benson said. The Border Patrol is using the system to nab some illegal immigrants south of Tucson. ``We still believe Boeing is going to get it done,'' he said.
Chicago-based Boeing, which replaced the management team on the Arizona project in August, is now updating software to prepare for another round of tests later this month.
In Arivaca, Arizona, a border town of 1,200 near the SBInet towers, many residents aren't sanguine about the technology. Thousands of immigrants head toward Arivaca and points north on paths that snake up mountains and down treacherous ravines.
Arivaca rancher Tom Kay, 65, said he's losing as much as $30,000 a year from cattle that die after swallowing plastic debris discarded by immigrants, or that wander off through holes cut in his fence.
`An Ungodly Amount'
``I've been overrun,'' Kay said. ``It costs me an ungodly amount.''
Rob Kasulaitis, 63, said he's grown fearful of deer-hunting in the surrounding hills after coming upon a sleeping group of marijuana smugglers.
Kasulaitis said his ranch, with its six-foot-high clumps of Sacaton grass to feed his cattle, provides cover for illegal migrants. He often finds cast-off backpacks and clothes in his field.
``You could have an army of people out here and you couldn't see them,'' he said.
T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union that represents 12,000 agents, said, ``It's a mistaken notion that everyone can be stopped at the border.''
Tighten Management
In Congress, there are concerns about the cost of electronic monitoring, which have been estimated as high as $30 billion. Last year, lawmakers required the department to tighten management of the project.
``Both the U.S. government and Boeing as prime contractor have to stay on top of that very closely to make sure the setback doesn't become a failure,'' said Richard Stana, director of homeland security issues at the Government Accountability Office, Congress' auditing arm.
Boeing spokeswoman Deborah Bosick referred all questions to the department.
Back in Arivaca, rancher Kay said Boeing can't get the system working soon enough. On a tour of his ranch earlier this month he ran into two Border Patrol agents who told him they had found new paths cutting across his property and a floodgate that had been broken to allow immigrants to crawl through a culvert.
``You can't spend enough money to stop these people,'' Kay said.

Sony Launches the OLED TV Revolution
http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growth/2007/10/01/sony-launches-the-oled-revolution.aspx
Anders Bylund
October 1, 2007
It's huge news for investors in Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL) when electronics giant Sony (NYSE: SNE) says that it will sell OLED televisions in the Japanese market, starting Dec. 1. The thing is 11 inches across, but just three millimeters thick. Sorry, I mean thin.
Impatient geeks like myself have been waiting for such an announcement for years, and hope that it's merely the starting shot of the inevitable race to replace the television screens and light bulbs of the world with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, which Universal Display develops and sells.
Now, this particular screen probably won't be a big seller at first. The price tag is a hefty 200,000 yen, or about $1,700 American, which puts this tiny set up against 50-inch plasmas on a pricing basis. And even then, Sony's announcement makes it sound as if it's selling the OLED screens below cost.
That's the price you pay for being on the hemorrhaging edge of technology. OLED technology isn't exactly new to Sony: The company has used it in handhelds for three years, but those screens are a mere 3.8 inches. It takes time to scale up an entirely new manufacturing process, ironing out the technological wrinkles along the way.
Even Katsumi Ihara, executive deputy president of Sony, thinks that we're some distance away from the full-on revolution. "I don't think OLED TVs will replace LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs overnight," he said. "But I do believe this is a type of technology with very high potential, something that will come after LCD TVs."
Let Sony, Philips (NYSE: PHG), Matsushita's (NYSE: MC) Panasonic, and the rest of the large-screen elite put OLED televisions through the paces to figure out how to make them cheaper and longer-lasting, and prices should come down dramatically in a couple of years. I can't help but be reminded of Adam Sandler's The Wedding Singer, where playboy Glenn gets the jump on new technology in 1985: "It's called a CD player. It cost me, like, seven hundred bucks, but the sound quality's outstanding."
Yeah, it's like that. Blu-ray and HD DVD players have seen their price tags just about halved in a year and a half, and OLED will go the same way. And Universal Display is laughing about it, all the way to the bank, as the licensing checks start to roll in.
Research and Development Activities
We anticipate continuing to incur research and development expenditures in connection with the development of our Wireless Lighting System during the next twelve months.
MORE FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT
With regard to the Military and Homeland Security markets, we are relatively without immediate competition. For example, the USAF Air Mobility Battlelab conducted a Best Value Determination/Sole Source study that evaluated the WatchDog system against any other available General Services Administration (GSA) contract-approved product and confirmed that the WatchDog system is one-of-a-kind in its capabilities and the only product that meets or exceeds the Battlelab’s portable covert illumination system requirements. Based on this, we gained a Sole Source designation for the Raven WatchDog system.

Portable Illumination (“PI”) Systems
We have developed PI Systems for the military and Homeland Security market, which are designed to quickly illuminate remote areas in a portable format. The products utilize a “ Super Bright White” solid-state light head system that can illuminate over 600 feet in a setup that weighs less than 50 pounds and can be carried on a commercial airplane. The system currently has over 10 hours of run time using standard Li-Ion batteries and can be wirelessly controlled. A typical application would include remote lighting in disaster scenarios.
As an extension to our PI Systems, we have also integrated infrared LED technology into our latest product Offerings. These systems have the same operational characteristics of their traditional PI System, with the added advantage of the ability to use the system at night using night vision goggles. We are in discussion with the Armed Forces, Homeland Security and US Customs for border patrol and base/boundary protection. We have been selected by Homeland Security under the recently enacted Secure Border Initiative to provide Fixed-Position Lighting Systems.

In this final technical progress report we summarize research accomplished during Department of Energy contract DE-FC26-01NT41203, entitled ''High-Efficiency Nitride-Based Solid-State Lighting''. Two teams, from the University of California at Santa Barbara (Principle Investigator: Dr. Shuji Nakamura) and the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (led by Dr. N. Narendran), pursued the goals of this contract from thin film growth, characterization, and packaging/luminaire design standpoints. The UCSB team initially pursued the development of blue gallium nitride (GaN)-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, as well as ultraviolet GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs). In Year 2, the emphasis shifted to resonant-cavity light emitting diodes, also known as micro-cavity LEDs when extremely thin device cavities are fabricated. These devices have very directional emission and higher light extraction efficiency than conventional LEDs. Via the optimization of thin-film growth and refinement of device processing, we decreased the total cavity thickness to less than 1 {micro}m, such that micro-cavity effects were clearly observed and a light extraction efficiency of over 10% was reached. We also began the development of photonic crystals for increased light extraction, in particular for so-called ''guided modes'' which would otherwise propagate laterally in the device and be re-absorbed. Finally, we pursued the growth of smooth, high-quality nonpolar a-plane and m-plane GaN films, as well as blue light emitting diodes on these novel films. Initial nonpolar LEDs showed the expected behavior of negligible peak wavelength shift with increasing drive current. M-plane LEDs in particular show promise, as unpackaged devices had unsaturated optical output power of {approx} 3 mW at 200 mA drive current. The LRC's tasks were aimed at developing the subcomponents necessary for packaging UCSB's light emitting diodes, and packaging them to produce a white light fixture. During the third and final year of the project, the LRC team investigated alternate packaging methods for the white LED device to achieve at least 25 percent more luminous efficacy than traditional white LEDs; conducted optical ray-tracing analyses and human factors studies to determine the best form factor for the white light source under development, in terms of high luminous efficacy and greater acceptance by subjects; and developed a new die encapsulant using silicone-epoxy resins that showed less yellowing and slower degradation. At the conclusion of this project, the LRC demonstrated a new packaging method, called scattered photon extraction (SPE), that produced an average luminous flux and corresponding average efficacy of 90.7 lm and 36.3 lm/W, respectively, compared with 56.5 lm and 22.6 lm/W for a similar commercial white LED package. At low currents, the SPE package emitted white light with an efficacy of over 80 lm/W and had chromaticity values very close to the blackbody locus. The SPE package showed an overall improvement of 61% for this particular comparison, exceeding the LRC's third-year goal of 25% improvement.
CYBLERLUX SCATTERED PHOTON EXTRACTION

New Technology for LED Output
Scientists at Rensselaer’s Lighting Research Center (LRC) have developed a method known as “SPE” (scattered photon extraction) to get significantly more light from white LEDs (light-emitting diodes) without requiring more energy.
“We have developed a technology based on a new scattered photon extraction method that will speed up the progress of solid-state lighting and help secure our nation’s energy future,” says Nadarajah Narendran, director of research at the LRC. “The new technology dramatically increases light output and efficacy of white LEDs, and could play a fundamental role in the evolution of white LEDs for lighting in homes and offices.”
Commercially available white LEDs combine a light-emitting semiconductor with a phosphor, a rare earth compound, to produce visible white light. However, more than half of the light, or photons, produced by the phosphor is diverted back toward the LED where much of it is lost due to absorption. This reduces the LED’s overall light output.
Narendran’s research group developed a method to extract the backscattered photons by moving the phosphor away from the semiconductor and shaping the LED lens geometry. When combined, these changes allow the photons that would typically be absorbed inside the LED to escape as visible light. The new technology is patent pending.
Compared to commercial white LEDs, prototypes of the new SPE LED technology produced 30 to 60 percent more light output and luminous efficacy — light output (lumens) per watt of electricity. This means more visible light is produced without increasing energy consumption.
According to Narendran, his group is the first to use the SPE method to improve white LED performance. The research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and is a collaborative effort with the University of California, Santa Barbara.

OLED
OLED is the acronym for organic light-emitting diode. The technology was originally developed years ago by Eastman Kodak and is used for both light sources and television. Sony is one of several companies hoping to bring this technology to market. Images are produced via the electro-phosphorescent properties of certain organic materials. No back light is required in an OLED television. In addition to television, OLED may be used on small screens such as on cell phones, MP3 players, and digital cameras.
An OLED television (active matrix) will use less power than the average LCD television. They offer a superior range of color and brightness as well as a wider viewing angle. These televisions are lighter weight, thinner, and yet more durable. The most significant drawback to an OLED television in this early phase is their lifetime. The longevity of some of the LEDs (the blue component) is only 3,000 to 5,000 hours at this time. Once manufacturing technology advances are made, it is anticipated that OLED televisions will have a much more competitive lifespan
