Petromanas...
Albanian Prime Minister Rama made a visit to Petromanas' current drill site, Molisht-1, yesterday. Things seem to be moving along nicely. Here is a youtube video (the first minute or so) of the trip from an Albanian news site, plus a separate, corresponding written article:
Reforma territoriale, historike dhe jetike" - Top Channel Albania
long here too - waiting patiently
my last play:
WGET .....
GLTA!!
NO - because the MK ( ~ $26mio ) is really heavy and the earnings are only:
1,5mio x 12 x 5% round about $900k/year
the MK is the problem ....
they have to buy a pellet production and perhaps then ...
we shall see
GLTA
THX - this way it works!!
sad - I`m not able to open it ....
schwarzenegger too -> actor ... and???
did they made their jobs??
reagan -> actor ....
than good luck to you ...
I will look what the market tells me and than decide ...
today it will IMHO go up - we shall see
BR
diva
yep ...
perhaps it would be better to ride the wave??
and not fight against it??
we are going north .... !!!
perhaps 0,xx today??
sorry - dreaming ....
wow - super idea ....
hundreds of shareholder are calling ... hinz and kunz and so on ....
well done - they will be very happy - good for future business!!!!
THX for that information
from your link - wow!!!
" ....
In order to meet the RPS mandate, South Korean government has set a target to import 5 millon tonnes of pellets by 2020, thus meeting almost75% of pellets requirement in the country.
.... "
thx - diva
"With the first two orders in hand, KGET is set to generate a minimum of $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 in total revenue over the next year. Profit margins on this second order will be significantly higher than the first order as payment terms are FOB Los Angeles."
well: 3-5% ( lets take 4% ) earning of ~ $35mio
P/E Ratio - 15 (?? fair enough ?? )
314 mio shares out
-->>> pps should be round about $0,07
btw - IMO even mr. linton can buy and sell pellets - not to difficult!
we shall see
( sorry for my poor english - learnd it 30years ago at school and forgot most of grammar .... )
THANKS - IMO good thoughts
most that:
" .... if anything they said is a lie i believe they will go to jail for false press releases and lying to shareholder. .... "
so good luck to the longs on monday
"free float" only about 44 mio shares???

VUZIX - Smart Glasses Technology
".....
The Race is On
According to Wired.com, Google recently filed a patent application that revealed the organisation is looking to employ voice recognition and hand-tracking techniques through cameras. Additionally, it’s exploring low-level artificial intelligence that will automate some of the Glass navigation mechanisms currently adjusted with a small touchpad on the temple,
Apple’s latest patented idea doesn’t reveal much of its styling although, being Apple, it’s a given that its final result will be supremely elegant. The patent identifies that the company is working on a single lens fitted over one eye, similar to that of the Google Glass project. Olympus too is working on a lightweight frame with
a display over one eye.
Vuzix, in conjunction with Nokia Corporation, has developed its own Smart Glasses Technology and has concepts for both monocular and binocular displays.
Like Explore Engage’s glasses, Vuzix Smart Glasses are designed to work with other smart devices that are typically connected to the internet. They’re interactive and merge virtual information with the real world and can be used at night or outdoors in full daylight.
Vuzix’s concept for binocular Smart Glasses, which the company is developing for the consumer market, is bulkier than Google Glass but more streamlined than the concept Explore Engage showed me. In fact, they pretty much look like a standard wrap frame yet, the company claims, it has the capacity to carry all the componentry required for a full AR experience.
The glasses for commercial and industrial purposes were due to market as we went to print.

Vuzix developing 'smart' glasses
Fairport company developing an augmented reality
I bought my first computer in 1990 and it probably weighed 50 pounds. By 2000, I had a laptop. It was portable and connected, although I would ache from carrying the shoulder bag, and wifi was hard to find away from home. Today, I’ve got a smartphone in my pocket with access to anything in an instant.
Each of those devices represented a quantum leap forward from the technology before – smaller, more portable, more powerful, more interconnected.
RocNext: Innovation news
Follow us: LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter
So what’s the next leap forward besides having the internet wired directly into my head?
Paul Travers founded his company, Vuzix, in 1997, with a goal of creating a wearable video display. In the mid-1990s, that required a device the size of a football helmet, with straps to hold it to your head and wires leading out to a computer. It was an interesting concept, but of limited practical use. Travers knew he had a long way to go.
“The goal was to make something that you can wear outdoors, something that’s stylish, something that doesn’t make you look weird when you’re wearing it,” he said. “Something that looks like a standard pair of sunglasses.”
Wavelength optics make it all possible. Not surprisingly, Vuzix has received several patents based on this technology.
So far, most attempts at video eyewear use conventional reflective optics, which takes a small display and puts a lens in front of it to magnify the image.
It’s really too bulky to be practical. Fighter pilots use a heads-up-display that’s contained in a bulky helmet with a large visor. That’s not the sort of thing that I’m going to wear when I’m walking down the street.
Vuzix’s technology generates a display by projecting light into a piece of glass that contains a set of very small gratings. This technique makes it appear as if the projected image is inside the glass. It’s tiny, about the thickness of standard reading glasses, and it’s 95 percent see-through.
“This is game changing technology,” said Travers.
And I think he’s right.
But it isn’t just about the idea of projecting the latest updates from Facebook in front of your face, or letting you secretly watch funny cat videos while sitting in a boring meeting.
What will make this big is the way the display allows you to integrate computing technology with what’s going on in the real world, what Travers calls “augmented reality.”
You know those first down markers super imposed on the TV screen while you’re watching a football game? Imagine that technology coming to your every day life.
Say you’re in Manhattan and need an ATM machine. An arrow appears in your glasses to show the way, telling you where to turn left as a green balloon floats above a building at the end of the street to show you the location.
Or you’re a soldier on a battlefield, when a big red circle appears, alerting you to a truck approaching from the distance, and giving you information on its size and speed. Or you’re working in an emergency room, and a patient’s x-ray appears to be superimposed on their body as you’re treating them.
Google has shown interest in this technology, and while its hardware – Google Glass – is still in the conceptual stages, the company has made strides towards developing software for the consumer market. Google Goggles lets a user take a picture of a landmark or a product on a store shelf, and Google will provide information on the product.
Surprisingly, perhaps, Travers is not concerned about a giant like Google encroaching on his market. “People are knocking on our door that wouldn’t be if Google wasn’t in the same space,” he said.
Among the knockers is the U.S. military. Vuzix is developing a prototype of a helmet mounted system for the Army, and in June announced that it received a research grant from the Navy to develop augmented reality glasses for training applications.
How far are we from widespread consumer use? Travers said very close.
Within a year or so Vuzix will be shipping its product bundled with smartphones or sold as a separate accessory.
The key will be how Vuzix’s hardware comes together with easy-to-use consumer applications, pushing its technology from a mere novelty to something everyone wants to use; just the way it happened with the MP3 player, the smartphone, and the tablet.

Vuzix Announces Advanced STAR 1200 XL See-Through Augmented Reality Glasses
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - Vuzix Corporation (TSX-V: VZX, US OTC:BB, VUZI, FMB: V7X) announced today its new STAR 1200 XL Wide Field of View (WFOV) See-Through Augmented Reality Video Eyewear. The STAR 1200 XL is a see-through AR-enabled binocular Video Eyewear that sports a 35 degree field of view for use in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. Building from Vuzix' award winning technology in AR-enabled video eyewear, this display allows users to view the real world while simultaneously viewing relevant computer generated information, graphics and alerts. The STAR 1200 XL AR glasses provide connectivity to VGA, component and composite video sources. Its AR components include 3DOF motion tracking sensors and a built in camera for "tracking and recognizing" the real world allowing 3D computer generated content to be locked in place when overlaid on top of the user's real world view.
The STAR 1200 XL is a WFOV version of the Vuzix' STAR 1200 see-through AR-enabled eyewear. It has a native 16:9 format with full color WVGA (852 x 480) displays, a new 1080p detachable camera and sensors for AR tracking. Its see-through displays include an inter ocular adjustment to match the users pupil spacing which provides the ultimate imaging performance on a display similar to a 76-inch flat panel television viewed from 10-feet (~3m).
Paul J. Travers, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Building on Vuzix' advances in both its optics and tracking technology, we have been able to deliver affordable AR-enabled see-through head mounted displays. The STAR 1200 XL's WFOV performance and upgraded camera enable more of the real world to be augmented, bringing a more encompassing AR experience. This new STAR XL includes many advanced features that our customers have been asking for and we expect them to be used for a wide variety of applications."
The STAR 1200 XL is available to order now. A Software Developer Kit (SDK) is available for free download from the Vuzix website (www.vuzix.com/developer) and the STAR 1200XL is compatible with most major Windows based AR authoring programs.

"Augmented Reality to Improve Marketing Interaction
August 16 2012 | Kathy Crosett
Earlier this year, when Google announced Project Glass, it seemed to be an idea right out of science fiction. But part of the technology that Project Glass incorporates, Augmented Reality (AR), is a very real market with a big future in mobile commerce. Marketers are already using this technology to engage customers.
Mind Commerce Publishing recently noted that the entire AR market will be worth over $3 billion in 2015. At least $2.2 billion of that market will be linked to mobile commerce, especially for app developers who create code for marketers. But analysts are still debating whether the future of this market will be wearable or handheld. In Google’s world vision, consumers will wear AR-enabled glasses.

Vuzix Receives Waveguide Optics Development Contract from US Army RDECOM CERDEC
NEWS:

Vuzix Receives Waveguide Optics Development Contract from US Army RDECOM CERDEC
ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Vuzix Corporation (TSX-V: VZX, US OTC:BB, VUZI, FMB: V7X) announced today that it has received phase I of a multiphase development contract, from the US Army RDECOM CERDEC, Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate, for the development of a wide field of view See Through Waveguide ("STWG") for potential use in helmet mounted queuing systems and other head mounted display applications. The contract is to explore the possibility of supporting waveguide optics with fields of view in excess of 50 degrees and with a path to full color operation.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110518/MM04932LOGO )
As part of the initial effort, Vuzix will deliver a STWG system that is full color capable with a 30 degree field of view as a basic demonstration of the principles of waveguide technology. The second component will be a trade-off study of two independent approaches in which Vuzix has offered to solve the wide field of view problem. Follow-on phases are possible and would be to deliver working prototypes of one of the two options.
Paul Travers, President of Vuzix Corporation, stated, "Vuzix' waveguide technology is unique compared to competitive solutions in that it is capable of producing very wide fields of view with full color operation. When it comes to see through optics, the combination of these two features is critical for the coming needs of personal heads-up displays and Augmented Reality applications. Anything less than color, see through and 50 degree fields of view for many applications will compromise both the performance and the users' expectations."
Mr. Travers continued, "This system is based on Vuzix waveguide technology consisting of a transparent blade of glass or polymer that is just 1.4mm thick. The blade is then employed as the primary lens in see through video glasses that are similar in form factor to regular sunglasses."

Google isn’t the only company working on wearables, after all. Back in March, eyeline display specialist Lumus confirmed to us that products using its technology were in the pipeline for 2013, with prices ranging from $200 for more basic models – perhaps just offering media playback – through to $500 for more advanced versions with what we’d think of as true augmented reality.
It’s not the only company working on AR projects, either. We caught up with Vuzix this month to take about its own smart glasses intentions, including the display technology it has been working on with Nokia Research. The company wouldn’t talk specific pricing, but did say that it was aiming more for the mass market and that Project Glass “is not the grail we are seeking.”

VUZIX WINS SBIR AWARD FROM THE OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH
"Vuzix Corp. had received a $150,000 phase one and phase one option, small business innovation research (SBIR) award from the Office of Naval Research. The SBIR program entitled "Head Worn Display ("HWD") Augmented Reality for Military Training Applications" is to develop a lightweight, low-cost, high-performance device to superimpose computer generated information on an individual's view of the real world. Augmented reality is a technology that places virtual computer-generated objects into a person's field of view. Placing virtual characters, objects, and effects in the real world has the potential to revolutionize training. Currently, one of the biggest challenges to using augmented reality technologies in dismounted applications is the head worn display. To allow for the use of augmented reality HWDs there is a need for them to have the form factor of sunglasses or ballistic goggles along with the ability to operate for hours without needing to be recharged. The Navy commented that the commercial sector is rapidly developing augmented reality applications for smart phones, but that there is a need for a consumer grade HWD for serious military training applications. PHASE I of this SBIR will be to develop a concept for a low-cost, high-performance device to superimpose computer-generated information on an individual's view of the real world. For simplicity, we will call this a Head Worn Display (HWD).Follow-on phases of the award, which are expected to be valued at significantly higher dollar value, will develop pathways to lightweight, easy to wear, curved visors. Paul Travers, President of Vuzix Corporation, stated, "Vuzix' engineering team demonstrated an in-depth command of the technical and development challenges needed to meet the see through and wide field of view needs of the Navy's requirements." Mr. Travers continued, "This system is to be based on an advanced optical waveguide version of Vuzix' see-through Blade based technology that enables high definition (HD) displays to be incorporated into very thin lenses similar to normal eyeglasses."

I'm sitting in a bar watching a video of a baseball player. That's unusual enough in the UK, where the sport has minimal following, but I'm not watching on a wall-mounted flatscreen or even my smartphone. The slugger's swing plays out on a piece of glass just 2 millimetres thick, part of a prototype augmented reality (AR) glasses system created by display technology firm Vuzix.
"We basically make monitors - really hard-to-build monitors," says Vuzix's Clark Dever. The prototype is currently just a single lens jury-rigged to a tiny portable projector, but the results are already impressive. The video image takes up around a quarter of the entire lens and appears to hover around 10 centimetres in front of your face, so it is easy to see your surroundings at the same time. The prototype image is quite bright, though, making the real world look dark in comparison.

Metaio Augmented Reality at The Gadget Show
Posted by Andrew at 12:12 AM on April 18, 2012
There’s no doubt that augmented reality (AR) is hot area at the moment, with several exhibitors at Gadget Show Live showing off products and software. Metaio is one such company and it provides AR software for Vuzix‘s high-tech glasses.
Sascha Kiener from Metaio gave me an impressive demonstration of the their product. I put on a pair of glasses and when I was shown a picture of a T-Rex, a 3D image of the dinosaur appeared out of the picture. There didn’t seem to be anything special about the dinosaur picture and the illusion worked regardless of the orientation of the picture, so you could turn the picture to turn the dinosaur. All very clever.
In the interview, Sascha talks to me about augmented reality and some of the prospects for the future.
