Two thumbs up j...!
Matt,
One thought could be ML is planning on rolling up the announcement of his new board member with his expression of gratitude to Z into one nice and neat release. That is my guess. Your post got me thinking, what if Z's decision to step down was partly based on his knowledge of the caliber of the new board member who will fill his shoes? Maybe it is someone of the "highest quality" to use your words? Maybe all the pieces came together for Z to come to the conclusion that he's achieved what he needed to do and his replacement is coming on board to take us to the next level? Let's see how it plays out...;)

Great post Mdk1!
Thx Mdk1, yes I know who Dr. Harder is, I just haven't heard anything about ECOC 22' or who may be attending/presenting from LWLG. Again, I may have missed it.
Enormous potential for vehicle autonomy and the LiDAR industry ahead...
"but we’re not yet convinced that’s the robotic automation market with the most potential, though there’s plenty of upside when it comes to the market for minimally invasive surgery. We think the grass could be even greener when it comes to self-driving cars."

Mdk1,
Was there a PR regarding Dr. harder and LWLG presenting at ECOC 22'? I must have missed it. I would think ML will be attending as he is the Chairman of the ECOC Market Focus Committee? TIA
Last year's ECOC PR...

Certainly appears to be quite the pool of talent to choose from, as it seems the Europeans really embrace the industry and don't hesitate to allocate whatever funds are necessary to advance their knowledge and capabilities! Exciting times ahead.
ML has mentioned in previous presentations that LiDAR and sensors can potentially be large markets for LWLG at some point in the future. I can see Industrial sensors being a very, very large opportunity. Think Amazon logistics with their automated robots, as one example.

Excellent, Thx j..
this jumps out at me....
In a 2017 report, The Financial Times named imec’s self-learning neuromorphic chip one of the fifty ideas that will change the world and was described by the newspaper as having the potential to revolutionize computing.[15]
PP, I see what you mean by "breadth & depth"...
Overview[edit]
Imec employs around 4,000 researchers from more than 90 countries; it has numerous facilities dedicated to research and development around the world, including 12,000 square meters of cleanroom capacity for semiconductor processing.[3] The imec headquarters are located in Leuven.
History[edit]
In 1982, the Flemish Government set up a program to strengthen the microelectronics industry in Flanders. This program included setting up a laboratory for advanced research in microelectronics (imec), a semiconductor foundry (former Alcatel Microelectronics, now STMicroelectronics and AMI Semiconductor,[4]) and a training program for VLSI design engineers. The latter is now fully integrated in the imec activities.
Imec was founded in 1984 as a non-profit organization led by Prof. Roger Baron Van Overstraeten. The name imec is an acronym of the original full name: Interuniversitair Micro-Electronica Centrum VZW. It is supervised by a Board of Directors, which includes delegates from industry, Flemish universities and the Flemish Government. Since 1984, imec has been led by Roger Van Overstraeten, Gilbert Declerck (as of June 1999), and Luc Van den Hove (as of July 2009).[1]
In February 2016, it was announced that imec would be merging with the Flemish digital research center, iMinds. The merge was finalized on September 21, 2016.[2]
Advanced Semiconductor Scaling[edit]
Imec is well-known for its expertise in shrinking circuitry to boost computing and memory power and for the applicability of nanotechnology in novel industries.[5] In 2015, The New York Times stated that imec has helped pioneer techniques to produce some of the world’s smallest and most sophisticated chips[6] and the centre is considered to be a world-leader in nanoelectronics research.[7][8]
Energy[edit]
Imec performs research in smart energy,[9] ranging from developing ways to actively and cost-effectively plan, deploy and manage smart grid networks up to improving the efficiency, production and storage cost of (solar) energy. Considerable advances have been made in solar cell and solid state battery technologies.[10][11][12]
Together with KU Leuven, VITO, and UHasselt, imec set up a separate R&D hub to perform research into sustainable energy and intelligent energy systems. The project is named EnergyVille and employs 400 researchers whose work centers around six interdisciplinary domains: photovoltaics, electrical and thermal storage, power control and conversion, electrical and thermal networks, buildings and districts, strategies and markets.[13]
Artificial Intelligence[edit]
Imec performs advanced research on artificial intelligence[14] and was awarded 750.000 USD twice in 2019 by DARPA in a machine-learning competition .
In a 2017 report, The Financial Times named imec’s self-learning neuromorphic chip one of the fifty ideas that will change the world and was described by the newspaper as having the potential to revolutionize computing.[15]
Smart Cities[edit]
In 2017, the Flemish government commissioned imec to support the 13 leading Flemish cities and the Flemish community in Brussels in their transition to becoming smart cities.[16] imec was also commissioned by the Flemish government and the City of Antwerp to create Europe’s largest lab for Internet of Things applications.[17][18][19][20][21][22]
Image Sensors and Vision Systems[edit]
In 2019, the state of Florida declared a partnership with imec to develop hyperspectral technology that is able to better detect invasive Burmese and rock pythons, which have been permanently damaging the Everglades’ eco-systems.[23]
Smart Health[edit]
Neuropixels Technology[edit]
The performance of the Neuropixels probes and their potential for transformational neuroscience experiments was described in a November 9, 2017 paper published in Nature.[24] In 2019, The New York Times reported that imec's Neuropixels technology is widely recognized as the most advanced method of gathering data from brain cells.[25]
Brain-On-Chip Research[edit]
In 2018, imec announced the creation of a research venture together with KU Leuven, UZ Leuven and VIB, called Mission Lucidity. The venture’s aim is to decode dementia.[26][27] imec is creating human-specific living brain models, so called 'brains-on-chips’ which automate and miniaturize human stem cell manipulations, and developing technology to generate programmable, instrumented 3D brain models with single-cell precision.[28] The project was supported by a Collaborative Science Award of one million dollars by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.[27]
Point of care blood test devices (Johns Hopkins University & miDiagnostics)[edit]
Peter Peumans, in charge of imec’s life science technologies program, helped found miDiagnostics and was appointed CTO. In 2019, NASA awarded funding to miDiagnostics to test a technology for monitoring astronauts’ health status under zero gravity conditions, with the aim of advancing space health diagnostics.[29]
Wearables[edit]
Imec develops wearable devices.[30] Its technologies have gained several approvals by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and PMDA and have made contributions to studies published in Nature.[31]
Through its spinoff Bloomlife, imec develops pregnancy monitoring technology that tracks fetal health and fetal mobility , with the aim of giving pregnant women and their doctors better access to key details about fetal development.[32]
Other applications include ingestible gut sensors designed to capture mechanical, electrical, and chemical changes that occur during digestion, flagging abnormalities and problems while also delivering personalized nutrition advice.[33]

Great catch theroc66, Thx Steve
The term "a game changer" comes to mind...:)
How much electricity does a typical data center use?
Answer:
Around 196 to 400 terawatt-hours
In 2020, the data center industry consumed around 196 to 400 terawatt-hours (TWh).
**************
In order to keep data centers running continuously and without interruption, managers must use a lot of electricity. According to one report, the entire data center industry uses over 90 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This is the equivalent output of roughly 34 coal-powered power plants.
**************
Why do data centres use so much electricity?
Answer:
Data centers need electricity to run their equipment. They also need a lot of it to keep the machines cool. Just how much electricity all these data centers use is up for debate. Currently, many experts estimate that data storage and transmission in and from data centers use 1% of global electricity. Jan 24, 2022

UK regulators just approved basically a doubling of the cap on electricity rates they can charge customers.....for many in Europe it will be a "heat or eat" situation this winter!
Never before has the issue of energy efficiency been more front and center than right now. The timing and potential for LWLG could not be better!

On the topic of LiDAR...
APIACÁS, Brazil , Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brazilian Amazon may be the cradle of the oldest city in the world.The mapping analysis performed by LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technology in Apiacás/MT indicates it. The laser scanning is performed by an airplane, the technology uses pulses of laser that can penetrate through the vegetation without needing to deforest the bush. The images, published on Sunday (August the 7th 2022), during a live YouTube broadcast on Dakila Research´s channel (Dakila being an association of independent researchers) show that the place, "Apiacás Lines", was man made.
In June, authorized by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense , using its own resources, Dakila´s researchers used two aircrafts to fly over and track the place known as "The Apiacás Lines" in order to laser scan the area with LiDAR technology. Aerial images of the place showed surprising symmetrical patterns that can be seen with the naked eye. The lines appear to be squares or streets of a possible ancient city. According to dating carried out by researchers from the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP- São Paulo State University ), in Rio Claro (SP), a group of rocks found on the site are about 1.5 billion years old.
"It's been more than 30 years of research to find that place. It might be one of the greatest discoveries of all time: Ratanabá, the "Lost City" in the Brazilian Amazon. According to our studies, Ratanabá was the capital of the world, built by the Muril, a pre-diluvian civilization and its ramifications go beyond the Brazilian Amazon, extending all over the world, according to Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira , president of Dakila Research Association . Dakila Research currently has 16 bases of investigation in the Amazon states such as Rondônia , Amazonas , Amapá , Roraima and Acre.
During Dakila´s live broadcast on it´s Youtube channel, archaeologist Saulo Ivan Nery explained that the presence of these "straight lines" on the ground are totally different than the natural patterns of surface erosion found in the region, alleging anthropic origin (man-made) of the "lines".
Surveys of the local topography and of river basins in the area were carried out by the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Geography Institute , used in a comparative study with the LiDAR images, have confirmed human intervention.
The total area scanned using the LIDAR technology on the "Apiacás Lines" encompass 95 hectares, of which we can identify around 30 "blocks" and 30 "streets". The "blocks" have a height of about 50 meters in relation to the ground.
In different places of the Amazon Forest , sophisticated metal objects have been found, such as coins, medals, chests and swords; unkonwn rocks that have a strange glow in the dark; elongated skulls that have about 80 cm of cranial length and a fossilized footprint on a rock that is more than two meters in size.

LWLG's patent portfolio continues to expand exponentially. This would seem to be appropriate course of action and justification for the time and expense allocated to the patent process. You see, when you have an industry disruptive technology it's imperative that one (ML) has their bases covered, t's crossed, i's dotted and IP protection that is impenetrable and second to none.
Batter up!
