David Clark's Summary
I am an electrical engineer with over twenty years of experience in research and development. My specialty is fast electromagnetic pulse propagation. My passion is to apply my skills in a team or individual environment to solve novel problems. I am currently the lead EE for a team that designs and builds physics diagnostics for high speed and high energy laser driven experiments. I supervise an electrical engineer and two technicians to deliver multimillion dollar projects. Most recently, I have led the effort to develop a diagnostic for measuring electron currents produced by a metal target driven by a terawatt laser pulse. I am the lead or coauthor on over a dozen papers describing these instruments and a paper on the unprecedented current measurement is forthcoming.
I hold two US patents in electromagnetic design for remote sensing and data telemetry. I am proficient at numerical modeling and write custom code in Python, Matlab or other high level languages. I use EAGLE for schematic capture and PCB design including custom PCB transmission line design. Designing for manufacturability is one of my top priorities.
I am currently building a Python software package to make RF voice and data network design easy and accessible by wrapping the SPLAT! RF propagation modeling software in a GUI. I have also built wide area high speed data networks using Ubiquiti data radios which can act as stand alone networks or be interfaced to the Internet for world wide data communication from remote field locations. To complement the RF communication network design, I am also proficient in computer network design and implementation.
I also have a background in emergency management and response. From 2003 until 2011 I was an Incident Commander for New Mexico State Police Search and Rescue. I was called on to be in command of over 30 SAR missions. My responsibilities as Incident Commander were the safety of the search subject and responders and planning and execution of the mission.

Modeling gated neutron images of THD capsules
Los Alamos National LaboratoryJanuary 1, 2010
Authors: Doug Wilson, Gary Grim, Ian Tregilles, Mark Wilke, George Morgan, Eric Loomis, Carl Wilde, John Oertel, Valerie Fatherley, David Clark, Frank Merrill
Time gating a neutron detector 28m from a NIF implosion can produce images at different energies. The brighter image near 14 MeV reflects the size and symmetry of the capsule 'hot spot'. Scattered neutrons, {approx}9.5-13 MeV, reflect the size and symmetry of colder, denser fuel, but with only {approx}1-7% of the neutrons. The gated detector records both the scattered neutron image, and, to a...more

Sigma runs an extremely tight ship- very lean, no unnecessary expenses. They don't have a full time IR person. I called IR once and it was Valerie Vekkos, who is a consultant for them- she doesn't actually work full time in their office- the call menu goes to her cell, so she answers on weekends, but she does do a good job (in my one-time experience). She took care of my question, and Mark Cola answers ?'s/calls/emails directly a lot of the time. However, they are hiring or have recently hired I believe 4 new people, one of which is supposed to do marketing for them and maybe IR too.
The street view that was posted seems to check out with his story… stone building…. individual doors, loading/storage bays. It looks almost like a storage unit except that there are separate doors that appear to lead to individual offices… and it looks like the bay is deep enough for a truck to fit. Not really sure what that setup is for, but it's interesting. Could be one of those business incubators or something… who knows.
Gatewood Galbraith, a Kentucky lawyer/politician (recently deceased), said it all began in 1937, when big business and gov't linked up to ban both marijuana, and later/by extension, industrial hemp as they were promoting synthetically made pharmaceuticals and materials (nylon, acrylic, etc) for profit, which is evident in late 40's/50's advertising. This happened under FDR- because part of the New Deal was basically the gov't telling farmers what to produce, and what not to produce, in exchange for subsidies… and whatever they didn't want (i.e., Marijuana, or Machine guns) they made something that required a permit, which they rarely issued, and essentially taxed out of existence. Business class donates to politicians… politicians legislate accordingly. His book "The Last Free Man in America" is pretty funny, but makes some good points about this.
Awesome. Cool they're using the same alloys as dental implants. :)
That seems too high to me, JMO. Not familiar with standard prices of retail pot though lol.
The article appears to be specific to Washington state, who has said they must approve all edibles individually for quality/consistency. It was posted earlier, too tired to dig up link.
I agree with you completely. MMJ won't heat up again in earnest til we get closer to election season, and even if the rollout isn't til early next year, the combo of November followed by news of distribution imminent will likely carry us on up, excepting an end of year cap gains dip, IMO.
Always good to ask questions.
I don't think most are underwater… I've seen the majority of our seasoned posters since at least .04. Even those that bought that run last July are at least at or near break even. I'm ~.07 avg atm. Was ~.035 avg previously. That claim seems a bit slanted.
Who in their right mind would buy/lease/obtain a brand spanking new 800,000 dollar EOS printer to show off their modules if it didn't work? That would be insane.
From GE. It's in the article to which he was replying. http://www.forbes.com/sites/emc/2014/07/07/why-your-next-airplane-might-be-3d-printed/
My favorite line: Rengers believes GE Aviation is on the cutting edge of 3D printing data analysis, as terabytes of data are being generated. “In general terms, there are multiple sensors and parameters constantly monitored during the build. This data is captured and analyzed in real-time while other data is stored and analyzed later,” says Rengers.
Steve Rengers= Head of Research and Development at GE Aviation
It specifically states that they are putting their PrintRite suite onto/into the printer (however you prefer to picture it.) Meaning, they are essentially modifying said printer to showcase what they can do if a company buys their products.
Found it: 3DSim. Should've guessed, lol.
http://3dprintingindustry.com/2014/05/05/3dsim-3d-print-preview-accurately-simulate-metal-additive-manufacturing/
Prepare to be assimilated…. Resistance is futile… ;)
[As a general rule, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.]
Someone already linked to that company that does the simulation models (came out of a university-- I forget the name. Original poster, help out?) I believe they are also on the America Makes grant, and the article author asked if they were aware of Sigma, and they said yes though they hadn't worked with them directly yet. I assume it's kind of like COMSOL- more design heavy. [Simulations are to anticipate the expected result] This is where Deform/Thermal will be really useful- to verify the finished parts' actual profiles.
Gotcha. Agreed. Just read the ticker on your 1st chart, and hey- Dow's looking pretty good, too lol.
Wrong chart…(or board?) and that one doesn't look WAY oversold. It looked to be approaching 70?
Next week, right?
Hope so… just look how it ran in April. Every 15 min it seemed I'd made hundreds of dollars… pretty crazy.
That sounds good for ANAS- the concern with edibles is making sure the specific dosage is consistent with each serving. Which, a pre-packaged liquid would be. (Brownies or whatever would be much harder to maintain uniformity and consistency.) I think it's a good thing.
Woohoo! I feel validated now. Lol. Take that Herringaid ;)
Lol. Probably right. Way to dash my hopes and dreams though, geez. ;)
Could explain the choice of "acquired" in Sigma's PR. Just hopeful musing.... I don't bank on it, of course (that 'dot-connection' would be too good to be true!), but wouldn't be totally shocked if we get the mother of all news here in a few months, either.
SGLB="experienced Industry Partner" ?
"Cooperation with experienced industry partner leveraging synergies of EOS process know-how and partner’s expertise in industrial monitoring
- Deepening know how about correlations of monitoring data, process characteristics and part quality
- Further development of algorithms for automated data analysis and visualization

p 46
…Reminds me of the old "Fortune 100 Company" lol.
Don't forget, when I saw Morris speak in Florence at that Advanced Manufacturing show at Gateway, on his slide show under IPQA was a picture of PrintRite. I gave an audible gasp, and double-checked Sigma's data-sheet and slideshow when I got home, after my original post, upping my certainty to 99.99999 percent. It's a very distinctive monitoring system and module. I also wrote down the # and brands of GE's current machines, if anyone cares to look up that post… that was just a few months ago. I have to hit the road to go home but may be able to search it and repost later tonight.
You mean this wdco? I'd never read about them before… wondered what you were implying. Thanks. http://www.goodetrades.com/2013/01/has-wdco-turned-into-a-short-seller-level-2-video-on-usgt-s-first-dump-day/
But deliver us from toxic financing. Amen. ;)
Lol- maybe you can start a vodka distillery there…. Homegrown…
Wow- and people still say the BOD doesn't care about the share price? Putting up the house/ whatever is certainly a vote of confidence!
Woohoo! Got my shares finally!
My apologies to the state of Delaware. ;) I never knew that about directors/addresses. Interesting.
Noooo got a partial. c'mon, only 120k left @ .0027… Bueller? Bueller? [I'd have bid whacked but wanted a round # lol… these are profits moved over from elsewhere.] May add more later- I usually do a $500 test run when it comes to sub-penny OTC stocks and watch it awhile. Only ever gone super-long on one [SGLB since .028 :)] but would like to at least see how this one plays out through November- hear there's some ballot initiatives coming up. My buddy made a killing on MJ last year.
Many people incorporate in Nevada but have addresses elsewhere. It's due to their business policies- lower fees, better tax rates, etc. Delaware is popular also, weirdly enough.
…Edit- can't delete. Had to read their PR more closely. Still considering a starter buy.
What is this nonsense? On e-trade, day's range says it hit .134 in first 10 min, now .1101?
Me too-first bought late May, flipped in July, and been holding a core ever since. Have sold a bit in recent months to put elsewhere but looking to buy back in to my old levels if I can time it right.
Pretty sure most who read the SEC filings knew it was being applied to old debt for Fencemaker. I distinctly recall ddm drawing attention to this. Wasn't as much paid as we would have liked to see, sure, but they made some progress. It's unfortunate, because we're going to keep adding to the debt with every new endeavor unless we secure some non-toxic financing or a preferred milling agreement with another company (the latter is my hope.) That said, the theory is once we get even the first "module" of the mill complete, we'll at least have some revenue to cover at least some of our debt payments. I'm on the fence, just holding my shares. No point in selling this low- it'll either fail completely or be successful…. I guess I just figure there's only so much lower to go, so what's the point selling when there could still be an upside? Do I really care about the remaining 6 to 800 bucks I have left in this thing? If it was my last money in the world, maybe, I guess that's rent for a month, but unless I actually need it, why would I take it out at this point? It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The ONLY reason I could see selling would be to take the loss EOY and offset other capital gains- but they'd have to be pretty big gains to justify it, IMO.
Here is the quote (was in the 10-k), under risk factors:
"Our Bylaws do not contain anti-takeover provisions, which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a takeover of us.
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our Bylaws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a takeover of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors."
I don't lose sleep at night over it, because I don't think it will happen, but it's a possibility. That said, I'm pretty sure it's our management team that actually holds the patents, not the company…I think B6Sigma maybe has one of them- anybody know how that works? Do the people who apply for it, hold it, or is it the company they work for?
Somebody send him our official patent links… or maybe Jackle's diagram. lol. Obviously has no clue if all he can resort to is 'OTC' fear mongering and calling us cultists…. while basing his own opinion of Renishaw on "rumor." (Real sound investment strategy… Excellent DD. ha!)
