Interesting Inversor...
I have a Fidelity 401K with my company and logged in - I can only access the November 30, 2012 Holdings report and LWLG is not on the list, hopefully they've since jumped in.
I believe the ticker is "FDEGX"... you mention "FAGKX" in your post (?).
Hopefully it's to allow for hype over the weekend and set up for a major blastoff on the 19th... or explosion. Who knows.
Interesting that there is no webcast scheduled along with the call. I guess we will submit questions verbally.
Also, it's on a Friday afternoon before a 3 day weekend.... Hmmm.
We are on day 4 of 5...
...of the five-day, over-a-buck requirement to allow LWLG to tap additional LPC funding. Perhaps that $$ is needed to help close any possible M&A deal.
I take that back Steve.
Those of you that have bought in on private offerings have experienced "done deals".
Strong Buy.
My take on it Steve?
After 5 years of being here, there is no such thing as a "done deal".

Steve,
I watched this again a few weeks ago and started to wonder if our lab has all the same equipment to do exactly what was demonstrated in this video. I think Chuck is working on "free space" stuff, based on my discussion with him at the SHM when I mentioned this guy Roland to him.
Look at slide #5, apparently Chuck built that.

Abstract
Electro-optic (EO) polymer cladding modulators are an option for low-power high-speed optical interconnects on a silicon platform. A novel Mach Zehnder modulator design is demonstrated using an EO polymer clad device. Modulators were designed and fabricated with both silicon nitride and Si waveguides and demonstrated at high speed (20 GHz). A Vpi*L as low as 3 Vcm is measured on initial devices. An optimized device could provide a Vpi*L less than 1 Vcm enabling devices with 1 V drive voltages, ~100 fF total device capacitance and less than 2 dB optical insertion loss

Thanks X. I'm not exactly picking up what your putting down with the Photon-X relationship but, if factual, our material is either in 1) Alaska or 2) Hawaii. LOL. Whatever. After 6 years now it's too late to reverse what's already been revealed to them (they fabricated our first 100 modulators, if I recall). Perhaps they've not seen Indigo yet
Confused as ever,
Buzz
Plan B?
Was Photon-X ever brought up as a candidate?
http://www.photon-x.net/prod_amp.htm
Advanced Materials
Photon-X® LLC fabricates extremely low-loss waveguides from next-generation optical polymers. The polymeric waveguide structures have excellent environmental stability and unique design flexibility. These record-breaking material systems are a key element for our thin film based systems as well as novel passive and active polymer based photonic modules
http://www.photon-x.net/tech_index.htm
In addition, we've been working with them for six years...
"...a strategic alliance formed in December, 2006 with Photon-X, LLC, a Pennsylvania- based company that has significant experience in polymer waveguide production. Photon-X is working as a strategic ally with our Company to establish a pre-production line in order to test and integrate our organic materials into waveguide devices and system prototypes as a first step toward product commercialization. The agreement affords our Company access to a full suite of fabrication facilities capable of producing commercial quantities of precision micro-optic devices such as high-speed 40Gb/s telecom modulators, optical filters, and optical interconnects important to military and civilian global information movement and management markets. Photon-X is participating as a strategic supplier to our Company in a proposal we've made to a major US defense contracting company for a project involving analog optical processing for national security and Homeland Defense.

Thank you Six.
He might just be a very good poker player? I agree it should be a question for the conference call.
Have a great weekend.
UD’s latest vision steadily takes shape
NEWARK — The University of Delaware’s Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory, the largest construction project in the school’s 270-year history, has passed a major milestone with completion of the building’s exterior.
The 197,000-square-foot building, known around campus as the “ISE Lab,” is expected this fall to serve about 1,200 students each day who will attend class and hundreds of researchers who will use its high-tech offerings.
...
The $132 million price tag does not include the tens of millions more UD will spend outfitting the research wing of the building with the most advanced equipment over the next several years. A 10,000-square-foot nanofabrication room alone will cost about $13 million to equip.
The devices in the room, like much of the infrastructure in ISE Lab, will be a shared resource that will allow researchers to assemble and study complex materials on a molecular level.

LOL
In the worse case scenario, we'll be having coffee with an on-guard Navy seal contingent.
Looks like things have taken a turn for the worse for our competition today. Missed revenue target, staff and payroll cuts were not well received by the market.
Simmons
Yes I did Inversor - Thanks for all your DD and putting together the list. Sorry I didn't get to speak with you at the SHM. Next year... oops no, in 7 months.
"we only get one try"
My interpretation of that is we only get one try per coupon sent. Meaning they can't scrape/etch/melt off the Perk and attempt a do-over, the coupon is "beat". Next coupon please...
But who knows... Please add that to my question list.
Add this to my question list please, Inversor:
Why has patent application 13/078,471, "HETEROCYCLICAL CHROMOPHORE ARCHITECTURES", gone into a status of "Abandonment" on 1/2/2013? It was originally filed as recently as 4/1/2011.
BTW, regarding that NENE post, here's a heck of an update letter for ya's:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/energy-ceo-shares-breakthroughs-141500646.html
I have to admit, I'm very intrigued. Not that many outstanding shares, either.
Now that sucks.
Six - can you give a high-level example(s) of "guarded in his responses"
Is he aware of the existence of LWLG and their disruptive, ground-breaking material?
Agreed, great questions Six... here are mine, some overlap with yours.
IF, the LSS were to say today that we've successfully met all of their criteria for material acceptance, are we and they prepared to sign a deal today? OR, should we expect months of back and forth contract redlining? Has a preliminary/draft contract been written up in anticipation of success?
What happens to the LPC deal if we merge/acquire some company?
Does Turpin still have appropriate clearance to interact with Celestech clients?
How many potential customers are we actively working with.
Fiberlogix... Has LWLG delivered any material to them, or is the project still in the design phase?
Has LWLG delivered any material to BNL yet, or is the SLM still in design phase?
Who can we expect to implement/build Dr. Leonberger's modulator design? Photon-X? Chuck G? Mattel?
There are many companies out there claiming to be optical "thin-film" experts... is our issue so unique that only U of Colorado can assist? (In other words, we are not re-inventing the "thin-film" wheel, correct?)
Has a provisional patent for Indigo been filed yet?
How does the Family Perkinamine match up against IKD-1-50?
Is Howie a good professor, or should I take a different course?
one more...(for Alice)

I may need to give up this due diligence stuff, I'm becoming afraid of what I may encounter next.
Huh? ................

Maybe this was a joke between Arduengo and H.E.S. III.
Good point. Thanks Inversor.
Hey Murr90, you left out the adverb "shortly" in your post.
Inversor - Any word from Stephan?
2103... that sounds about right.
"...greater non-linearity" - means essentially it has a higher r33
"Isn't it either a straight line of atoms, or circled atoms..." The term non-linear is not in reference to the orientation of the atoms in the molecule - it's the polarization responsiveness of the material when subjected to an electric field. Nonlinear means the polarization is not directly proportional to the input electric field.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system
"Could this be a hybrid that is better than traditional polymers but not as good as perk?" - That's what we should all be hoping for :)
I don't know about Hochberg (he's not listed as an author in the paper), but it's the Dalton group's material which was used to fabricate the modulator described in the white paper; I assume it was either lended to or procured from Dalton's group.
Skidos -
Google "Larry Dalton IKD-1-50"
... and one of results that show up is....
Broadband Low-Drive Voltage Polymer Electro-Optic Modulator
spiedigitallibrary.org/data/Conferences/SPIEP/69081/82590C.pdf
material to be used is IKD-1-50, a material developed at the University of Washington in Dr. Larry Dalton's research group with r33~170, as measured on a slab ...
Merci, Mr. Inversor.
You get an A++ on dot connecting.
Heck no. I'm in till my last bullet Sixshot....or penny in this case.
Why do you ask? I was merely attempting to provide our company a contact who is reaching out for tips on "game changing" technology.
Cisco "technology radar group"
"Cisco Systems (CSCO) uses a network of scouts to help map its future.
In taking a page from sports teams that use scouts to discover new players and track the opposition, the computer networking gear leader employs its own scouts to find new technologies that could be an opportunity, or threat, for Cisco over the next 10 years or so.
Cisco's 70-person scout team, or what it calls its technology radar group, consists of engineers and other employees.
Started in 2010, the technology radar group is charged with leaving no stone unturned in scouting technology, says Stephan Monterde, senior manager of corporate development for Cisco's technology group."

Bonjour, Buzz
OT'ish: Top Buys by Directors: Gund's $1.8M Bet on GLW
"The directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $1.8M by Gordon Gund, Director at Corning, Inc. (NYSE: GLW)."

I'll try Walter.
A modulator is also a switch, but all it does is "blink" a light beam on and off to encode a signal.... 00101100101010.... and a receiver at the other end decodes it. That's for telecom/data transmission.
An optical "switch" as discussed here is used to perform logic functions, and does not need to "blink" at the same rate as modulators do. Their primary function is to "route" the optical signal to different destinations (creating a circuit). This could be used in an optical computer where the transistors (electrical logic gates) are replaced with photonic "logic gates".

Calling all photonics engineers, please feel free to correct my explanation above. :)
Thanks Invers. I'd love to post my prediction but it would invariably be wrong.
Lets all agree to take a chill pill (myself included) and concentrate on our mutual goal of increased LWLG shareholder value in 2013. We're all bickering like we were Congress people. LOL.
So, any bets on where the share price will go tomorrow?
Happy New Year.
Buzz
Lol. Happy New Year Snez.
It's all good.
