anywhere from 100k to 1m
you are very knowledgeable thanks for the reply
do you think any license fees or royalties would be payable to lqmt by engel or heraeus ?
And this story ends when the big Apple uses it tech development fund to help the Li Machine set up a parallel production facility for the big Apples products.
ah ok got it thats a big oops on my part.
could you please help me understand 2 items in your posts

‘deal made, outsiders buying’

‘added a large short term position a few weeks ago’
‘sold a 20% position for a .03 gain’
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=147244000
1-you claim a deal is made but then take a large short position so why do that if a deal is made?
2-that large short position made a few weeks ago when lqmt was 14-16 cents but its now over 17cents so how did you get a 3cents gain?
one example why the future is folding phones
i vaguely remember this article but rereading it now gets me excited about li’s master plan for lqmt. he really did spell it all out years ago and ce is the future.
well damn if that isn’t the smoking gun proof that apple and others are using the new lqmt formula. maybe thats why apple refers to it as liquid metal and not liquidmetal since they has no claim on dc106c. time for apple and others to pay lqmt and mr li nice find josh
cip and apple's co-development did not exist between 2002-2010 so i don't see how eon's die cast patents would infringe on cip's injection molding patents. as i understand it the pla or license agreement allows eon use of some cip patents and all pre 2010 and post 2016 lqmt patents.
Like I said, Apple is not trying to make us not make money...waiver has been signed!
Eontec q&a
Hello! Thank you for your interest in the company. LQMT's patents have been licensed for use in consumer electronics and others are free to use. LQMT's research department has always had an exchange with Apple. In addition to the exclusive use of LQMT patents in Asia (excluding consumer electronics), Yi'an itself has many more suitable patented formulations, so global sales are barrier-free. Thank you!
in the design guide dc-106c is listed as die cast/hot crucible while lm-105 is listed as injection molding/cold crucible so i would say thats enough differentiation from cip
you are absolutely correct.

Management Commentary
Dr. Bruce Bromage, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, stated that “the third quarter of 2018 showed the Company’s continued execution of our commercialization strategy. Early production orders shipped during the quarter for Amorphous Metal Molding (AMM) and Metal Injection Molding (MIM) customers. In addition, the Company has active development projects with top-tier medical, automotive and consumer products companies, each with potential for volume, multi-year production.”
Dr. Bromage continued that “several projects are underway in collaboration with Yihao Metals, taking advantage of Liquidmetal’s amorphous metals expertise and proximity to US customers to develop parts that can be produced in high volumes in Asia. Liquidmetal and Yihao are working together to improve the cost of commercial AMM machines, alloys and processing methods to open markets globally.”

The advantages of radiation shielding structures comprising bulk solidifying amorphous alloys can be particularly seen in structures requiring compact packaging and designs. The limitations of the conventional materials discussed are reflected in these structures by bulkier designs and packages compromising the performance and functionality of such structures and components. For example, in the case of structures made of titanium, aluminum, or steel, the inferior radiation shielding of these materials is not sufficiently effective (due to lower atomic number) and therefore thicker layers of the materials must be utilized, resulting in bulkier designs and packages, even though the general mechanical and physical properties of these alloys would normally be adequate for their intended use. On the other hand, even though tungsten and tantalum are excellent radiation shielding materials, the difficulty of fabrication, higher cost, and relatively low strength of tantalum precludes the manufacture of effective designs and packages. Meanwhile, tungsten impregnated plastic doesn't have sufficient strength; therefore requiring the structure to be bulkier and thicker. Moreover, although the structure is thicker, since the wall is mostly plastic, the radiation shield is compromised.
Bulkiness in certain radiation shielding structures is highly undesirable because it can potentially hinder the operation of the device and the success of its operation. For example, while a load lock gate or a robotic arm needs to have sufficient strength to avoid damage, it also is optimal to provide such a device with a compact structure to ensure that is can move in a confined space. Reducing weight and bulkiness when shielding of microelectronic devices (such as portable electronics, biological implants, medical devices, research equipment) is also advantageous. The BMT casting process allows elimination of all unnecessary bulk from the part design, since the part geometry is not limited by traditional machining techniques.
The compact design and packaging of these shielding devices also add to the ease of operation, particularly for medical equipment and procedures. For example, FIG. 1(c) provides a schematic diagram of a loading unit for feeding radioactive pills into a syringe or catheter during brachytherapy. Because this delivery tool contains a multiplicity of the radiation sources it must be shielded to prevent accidental emission of radiation to unwanted areas or to healthy cells of the medical service providers and the patients. Although one could conceivably construct such a device out of conventional materials, a bulky catheter or needle would require a larger incision and larger wound, which in turn would extend the recovery time and reduce the quality of life to the patient. In addition, a larger than desired brachytherapy device can hinder the ease of operation and the precise direction of the measured radiation doses into the intended areas. Bulk solidifying amorphous alloys, with high strength and elastic limit, allow formation of compact delivery structures with great stability that can improve the ease of the operation.
Corrosion and wear resistance is also extremely important for a medical device with moving parts. For example, in the brachytherapy device shown in FIG. 1(c), the components need to resist a variety of chemicals used in the hospital, to shield the radiation, and to have sufficient strength and compactness for performing a smooth operation. The high corrosion resistance of bulk solidifying amorphous alloy is very important in such structures and components, specifically for radiation shielding structure. A highly corrosion resistance device allows the operation to be safer and the device can be reused after a simple sterilization process. Wear resistance is another advantage of using bulk solidifying amorphous alloy because the components can maintain their tight tolerances during their lifetime.
For example, a load lock device for a radioactive container may require frequent opening and closing and therefore, the structure may comprise several moving parts and frames. Therefore, it is important that the components of such radiation shielding structures are closely mated with minimum gaps along the matching surfaces. The use of bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys has two distinct advantages in these structures. First, they can be net-shape fabricated into high tolerance dimensions at lower cost. Secondly, due to the high elastic limit and high strength of these materials such dimensional tolerances can be retained over the lifetime of the component. With lower strength materials the repeated use of such components can result in deformation and distortion over time reducing their performance and shielding effectiveness due to increased gaps among the components. Furthermore, the high corrosion resistance of the bulk solidifying amorphous alloys precludes the deterioration of such mating surfaces and prevents radiation leakage due to corrosion. The higher wear resistance of the bulk solidifying amorphous alloys can also be used in moving components with intimate contact and minimal gap without excessive wearing of the contact surfaces.
In another form, the radiation shielding structures can used as marker in radiography, such as imaging and locating orthopedic devices (stents etc.) in the body or locating tumors in Proton Beam Therapy. The high radiation shielding of bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy can provide very high contrast imaging, especially against the background of body tissue or next to other medical devices in the body. In this case, the radiography marker is desired to be highly biocompatible, and have high atomic number. This application relates to x-ray, gamma cameras, single positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and other line-of-sight imaging technologies. Preferably, the weighted average (weighted per atomic percentages of elemental metals) of atomic number of bulk solidifying amorphous alloy is more than 40 in this type of application.
There are also advantages in the fabrication of complicated and intricate designs of radiation shielding structures and components using bulk solidifying amorphous alloys. The shrinkage of bulk solidifying amorphous alloys during casting or molding is very small; therefore, the as cast component can be used with minimal post-finishing. Furthermore, geometric factors such as ribs can be incorporated into the structure for better structural integrity. The bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy radiation shielding structures and components can be fabricated by either casting the amorphous alloys or molding the amorphous alloys.
depends if q4 results are positive, if not then the price will fall.
i am so looking forward to andromeda and its new windows 10 os. reliable insiders say it will be released q4 this year. hoping we get a sneak peek at mwc.
and thats why apple is really going to hurt netflix
maybe imported circuit boards, displays etc then assembled and inclosed in molded liquidmetal cases or frames. thats my wishfully thinking.
'A liquid crystal module backend packaging plant
A high precision molding factory
A system integration assembly facility'
sounds like it will be cheaper for foxconn to import parts and products for assembly and packaging instead of real manufacturing but the 'precision molding' part might be interesting.
the razr has more style than any other folding prototypes out there but i'm drooling over the intel !
Thanks for that explanation.
you provided the answer in your post.
tesla was eontec’s customer for the door locks in 2015 which was before Li bought or owned any lqmt shares so why would he register revenue to lqmt?
but since Li buying into lqmt there has been collaboration between yihao-eontec-lqmt regarding new machines-formulas-parts.
one man owns and runs eontec-lqmt.
so the agreement between eontec-lqmt is an agreement between one man and himself.
that one man will decide how revenue is to be distributed between eontec-lqmt.
i’m going to take a wild guess and say he will want to make both of his companies profitable.
yeah the pla wasn't sure what to call it. like others i'm sure Li will put some profits through lqmt cause he owns allot of shares. ce or territorial markets don't matter when one man runs both companies and can make more profit from both than just one.
100k-1,000k
I see the words 'amorphous ceramic' right at the bottom of that link. i remember someone posted that the license deal was for all amorphous tech between eon and lqmt.
maybe. also possible is a phone with no buttons hence the 'throw away the complexity' the buttons replaced by 'naturally' twisting or squeezing the phone. the water drop image with the twist strongly hints at a flexible or elastic material. we find out on the 24th.
24th January Vivo's concept gets revealed.
“What is the future of smartphone? Throw away the complexity, naturally.
Come see 1.24”
