Also looks like the start-up Integrated Endoscopy's webpage is down, makers of the Nuvis disposable endoscope,
All other links/companies are still operating.

Great news, maybe some of these Companies will now announce a lqmt product, all have patents referencing lqmt.

I like the way you think, Thin BMG sheets overmolded onto cheap preforms.
Apple can have the iPhone X manufactured by the usual suppliers and then have EON/LQMT do the 'simple' overmolding. Maybe thats the orders Li is referring to when he says that he will 'transfer to the domestic' at least for the phones destined for the U.S and Euro markets. Using his cheaper BMG formula and Machines, it will make Professor Li very very rich with his lqmt stocks.

So can i

Speculate this overmolding, will not only provid a smooth external scratch ,chip, pitting resistant mirror finish, but it will also fuse together the display making it waterproof.

Must look at fig. 7&8, the Image is superimposed over the actual machinery, this patent is already in use.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20150202841.pdf

FIG. 6 shows a top perspective view of an apparatus showing first part of an exemplary mold for housing a preform therein in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.

FIG. 7 shows a detailed side perspective view of a gating region of the mold of FIG. 6 through which amorphous alloy is injected therein into the mold in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.

FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of an exemplary preform in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.

Inventors:
Verreault, Adam A. (Dove Canyon, CA, US)
O'keeffe, Sean T. (Tustin, CA, US)
Jelbert, Glenton R. (Foothill Ranch, CA, US)

An embodiment relates to a method comprising overmolding a bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy on a preform of another material than the bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy to form a bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy overmolded preform. Another embodiment relates to an article comprising an overmolded shell comprising the bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy on a preform of another material than the bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy. The preform could be made of a crystalline or amorphous metal or alloy such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper or beryllium.

You are the Best Sir !!

Thats why lqmt has investor fatigue which is reflected in the share price. Unloved stocks can be a steal.

Not unless its Lake Forest that will get the contract for the initial 2017 small volume run of the iPhone X anniversary model, that will then be produced in larger numbers going into 2018.

Hot Form those thin BMG sheets into iPhone cases Professor Li. So much easier and quicker than Injection Molding. Who's BMG formula will be used will reveal how much more money lqmt will earn.

The iPhone 7s/7s+ will be released in large volume as per usual by Foxconn.

Additionally, the publicity of Apple finally using a LiquidMetal case will do wonders for lqmt.

[0028] In the following discussion and without loss of generality, the term "non-deformable" can refer to a non-transformative state of a material that is resistant to being misshapen or distorted. When a material is in a non-deformable state, upon the application of an elastic force to the material, the material is able to absorb some stress of the applied force up to a specified material threshold. However, when the material threshold is exceeded, the material can break. For example, hardened glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid that can transition between a deformable and non-deformable state. During the non-deformable state, the application of an amount of force (beyond a material threshold) can cause the glass to crack. In contrast, while glass is in a deformable state, the application of force can cause the shape of the glass to distort or become misshapen.

[0052] The term transition temperature can refer to the glass-liquid transition where an amorphous solid can transition from a hard and "glassy" state into a soft or rubber-like state. The transition temperature refers to a range of temperature at which a material transitions between the hard-like state and the rubber-like state. The transition temperature can also be related to the amount of energy that is required in order to break covalent bonds in an amorphous (or random network) lattice of covalent bonds, and subsequently reform the broken covalent bonds. At the transition temperature, the material is heated above its recrystallization temperature. Heating the material above its recrystallization temperature can prevent the chemical bonds from re-forming with each other.

[0053] In some examples, the transition temperature of fused quartz (pure SiO.sub.2) is about 1665.degree. C. or about 1475.degree. K. When the molted silicon dioxide SiO.sub.2 is rapidly cooled, the substrate does not crystallize, but instead solidifies as an amorphous (non-crystalline) glass structure.

Best evidence yet that the 'glass' iPhone is actually amorphous.

No hole in your conjecture. As you pointed out CE exclusivity is not as exclusive as many think.

Apple’s agreement with Liquidmetal does in no way mean Apple now has exclusive rights over all the BMG formulas in the world.

Adding my own conjecture/hope, Li’s lqmt investment would be even more profitable if lqmt manufactured CE components using generic BMG, But that would be subject to the legal babble of the the TTA and MTA, with the capture period and auto renewal it confuses as to if or when the EON BMG can be used for manufacturing by lqmt without having it assigned/lost to CIP and hence Apple.

Hopefully its possible and i'm sure Li is looking into how he can Transfer CE orders to the domestic.

Yep, Li knows how to make lqmt profitable and will give it transferred orders to the domestic making lqmt the global amorphous leader. All paraphrased from Li’s words.

Thanks for posting, this youtube video shows the Liquidmetal Membrane, would be nice if lqmt would promote such things on their website.

On LiquidMetal's Facebook Review page is a short post dated March 15 2017, by Lugee Li.
"great product great company"

Thanks for posting and making the translation more legible, Who would have predicted investing in lqmt would make us investors of Professor Li's Entrepreneurial skill and vision, we have a front row seat.

Does anyone believe CEO Li is not giving Facts or there is no Logic to his plans?
We are after all talking about Lake Forrest correct?
Yeah i thought so, not unless its a scam right?

Glad my CEO Steipp did the noble things and willingly stepped aside for the good of the company and all investors, himself included.

While Kang was CEO of your derailed train, Caveat Emptor

No my posts always follow logic and facts presented by CEO's, it must be you sobriety.

Are you saying he will incorporate Engel features into a new Eontec machine?
Joshuaeyu has made that claim before, So that would mean Eontec machines need lqmt IP.

That makes CIP more important no?

But all of that is speculation that may or may not happen in the future,

but for now Li has said "we have very good injection machine from Engel"

Bruce has said "our flagship cold crucible injection molding systems are in active use. These systems provide exceptional control over oxygen and other impurities that affect the performance of amorphous metal parts. Parts are produced in high volumes with remarkable dimensional precision within microns, with high strength in corrosion resistance that is unique to bulk metallic glasses"

So no apparent problem with Engel.

No, thats what your saying. Your speculating towards the negative with no evidence at all while ignoring what was clearly stated at 2 CC's.

Twice Lake Forest was Mentioned as having 3 technologies under one roof, 4 if you include CNC which will no doubt be a required part of the process for the 3 techs depending on the parts needing further added features, and degating although a water-jet can do that, so maybe a total of 5 techs under one roof.

A one stop shop for customers with Materion and Li providing different BMG formulas, with Engel and Eontec providing different BMG machines, all to satisfy different customer requirement.

Li knows how to make things happen, such as making Liquidmetal the "Global Amorphous Manufacture"

And this from Q3 CC '16.

You must have missed this part of the CC.
Cold Crucible Injection Molding of LM105 is Engel machines right?
Last i checked Eontec's machines are Hot Crucible Die-Cast.

Good Info Joshuaeyu, Someone else posted that Evopute also makes binder for MIM sintering, maybe that is who Li hopes for

Marin Guitar's custom shop has guitars with Imbedded watches, metal inserts.
I wonder if They will hot form a full LiquidMetal Body Guitar if sheets are cheap enough.
It would be very loud.

Interesting, it has the same negative earnings as lqmt but is valued over 1 billion.
Its another server/software company but lqmt is the only BMG listed company.

A good comparison and reminder not to sell too early when lqmt becomes flavour of the week over at Wall street.

Ok now i'm starting to get suspicious, why so many traders trying to get others to sell?

Thats another good point, with such low volume a seller would only be driving the price down on themselves. Same would be true when trying to buy back in, it would then drive up the price.

Add in Brokerage Fees, Capital Gains Tax and its just not worth the risk.

Thanks for the information Joshuaeyu, lqmt needs news of a contract if its to break the 25 cent barrier. Then again Li/Chung said no Q1 CC and Lake forest will be up and running by Q3, so if no news before end of Q2, July 2nd, then Visser losses out, maybe Li will want that to happen. Why let Visser cash in and profit from his warrants, better to let 3-4 months roll by without any news till Visser warrants expire. It saves the company further dilution.

Upside is more chance for investors to pick up cheaper shares until July.

They must anticipate being very busy next few months if they cant hold a Q1 CC, usually held in May.
Or maybe the open house at Lake Forest will be a substitute for Q1 CC.

The LiquidMetal Home page is down.
http://www.liquidmetal.com
New Webpage soon, FB and Twitter websites are still the same.

Up, Li stated at the CC that he plans to adopt the same manufacturing techniques that he perfected in China with Eontec, that made him a billionaire and has made Eontec a major supplier of GM, Ford, Tesla, Foxconn, Wistron, Pegatron, Samsung etc etc, the last 4 also happen to be Apple suppliers.

Li has also previously stated;

If you are Li, in what stock could you invest $65m that has greater multiple potential than this new wonder material with the patent monopoly ?

He might be rich, but does he have the same recognition as other billionaires such as Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates ?

For rich people, Fame and legacy is much more important than bank balance.
