good on you, capnwow ... you found it ...
and it became a watershed moment, that announcement of filing an application for, right? Or is the big moment for that off-topic company yet to come, just as it with loch/cdex?
btw, do you still contend that the only reason some of us are here is because we're a cabal being led by BJM, whose interest (you very publicly stated) in loch/cdex was spawned by his seeing this noble company of yours as competition?
Can't wait for YOUR answer, too.
I don't "hate," Paige ...
just can't unnerstan capnwow's excitement over a patent application.
btw, from the link you so kindly provided:
Seventh US Patent Issued to Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc. Related to Verification of Pharmaceuticals
Boulder, Colo., March 10, 2006 — Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc. (ASD), manufacturer of precision analytical instruments for real-time, field based material identification and verification, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued Patent Number 7,006,214 related to ASD’s innovative solution, RxSpec® technology. “This is ASD’s seventh patent covering pharmaceutical verification and the second patent specifically related to our RxSpec® drug verification solution” says Dave Rzasa, President and CEO. “These patents further strengthen ASD’s leadership position in providing solutions to furthering pharmacist productivity, while at the same time combating counterfeits.”
Not patent applications, paige ... issued patents. Do you see any difference from loch/cdex's patent application?
Can't wait for your answer.
... and of course
that's a REALLY critical PR, capnwow ...
"files for patent"
What other companies can you find that have PR'ed their filing for a patent?
How many companies consider filing for a patent newsworthy enough to PR?
What's happened to their share price?
Surely you have some historical statistics to show that this remarkable and noteworthy loch/cdex PR, that they have filed for a patent, is the watershed moment in the company's history.
Please share.
I just thought you might not have heard me the first time, capnwow ...
See, it's like this: you never ever seem to want to answer straightforward questions put to you. Others have noticed that, too. It MUST be because you don't hear or read them. I'm sure, given your integrity, it couldn't be because you don't WANT to answer them. Reticence was never one of your attributes.
As for being relaxed ... I relaxed the day I sold this farce, way back in 2001. Pity you can't say the same. Five years of the kind of growing stress you must be under must have been really hard on you.
I hope they're paying you very well for your efforts. Only fair recompense for the time you've put in.
WHY AREN'T NEW INVESTORS BUYING THE STOCK, CAPNWOW ???
In all those "best" hospitals and with all the press coverage, they "should" be, shouldn't they?
with all the press coverage, capnwow ...
why aren't new peeps buying in and why are insiders selling?
so, sassy ...
sholud everyone get all excited over a patent application?
as excited as they got over the lucent nda?
did that PR make your day?
(How long now has it been that the company has been "preparing" to enter the Homeland Security Market? About six years?)
... whose body, rotten ?!
OT but relevant (much more relevant than any of dagoodcapn's endless spamming posts):
The Death of a Salesman
Born into abject poverty, Ken Lay climbed to the heights of commerce, only to lose it all because he wanted more. While that's not an uncommon story, Lay also managed to destroy the wealth of tens of thousands of people and trigger much-needed reforms in how America regulates its public companies.
By Bill Mann (TMF Otter)
July 5, 2006
Ken Lay, the disgraced former CEO and chairman of Enron, died early this morning in Aspen, Colo., at age 64. A spokesman stated that he died from "natural causes."
We here at the Fool, of course, were not fans of Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, or the other participants in one of the largest frauds ever perpetrated on American investors. Lay rose from abject poverty to the height of success, only to have uncontrolled avarice and thirst for power bring him back to the lowest of the low.
News of Lay's death has been met largely with catcalls and mockery, which may suggest that he's ultimately getting what he deserved. If there is a fate worse than dying and having no one care, it must be dying and having millions of people be pretty happy about it. Such, we must believe, is the fate of Kenneth Lay. He had all of the hustings of greatness, but he threw them away in the quest for more, destroying the livelihoods of thousands in the process. It's not so much tragic as pathetic.
Thus the conflict that we -- and perhaps most people -- feel today. A man is dead. But he's a man who hurt a lot of people, and whom most despised.
Ken Lay's story is pretty interesting, though. He was born in the midst of World War II in rural Missouri, to parents who owned a feed store. When it went out of business, he lived with relatives and grew up working their fields. Lay went on to major in economics at the University of Missouri, where he also received a master's degree. He later completed a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Houston in 1970.
Following graduation, Lay enjoyed a meteoric rise, lecturing at George Washington University, skip-stepping his way to the executive offices of various energy companies, and settling into the CEO's chair at Omaha-based InterNorth in 1984. In 1985, InterNorth acquired Houston Natural Gas, and the combined entity was renamed "Enron." Ken Lay, then age 43, ran the whole thing.
Under Lay's guidance, Enron grew into one of the world's largest energy companies, owning assets in natural gas pipelines, electric utilities, telecommunications, water, and energy trading. At its height, Enron employed 21,000 people.
Meanwhile, though, the company had set up scores of offshore entities to hide losses in various business subsidiaries. This practice made the company seem more profitable than it was. As Enron unraveled in 2001, Lay, who had retired earlier in the year, returned to the company and assured the public that all was well with the business, and that the stock, which had dropped precipitously, would rebound. Meanwhile, Lay sold more than $90 million in Enron stock. Enron collapsed in November 2001, entering bankruptcy protection in one of the largest Chapter 11 reorganization cases in US history.
The end of Ken Lay's Enron saga came fewer than two months ago, when he was convicted on six counts of securities and wire fraud and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
The interesting thing to me about Ken Lay and Enron is that though there were even bigger frauds such as WorldCom; though other companies tagged with accounting irregularities cost shareholders much more money, including Nortel (NYSE: NT) and Lucent (NYSE: LU); it was Enron, and Ken Lay, who became the most hated, the most identifiable with the excesses and fraud that accompanied our last bull market. True, Dennis Kozlowski from Tyco (NYSE: TYC) had his vodka-peeing ice sculpture, Dick Scrushy his destruction of HealthSouth, and lower down the food chain of corporate evil, there were plenty more. Michael Saylor of Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) has since become notorious for losing more money in one day than any other man in history (except Bill Gates) following the revelation of shaky accounting practices at his company, an event that coincided with the pricking of the Nasdaq bubble in 2000. Yet none of these extremely costly events generates the same level of anger and hatred among the public, even today, as the collapse of Enron does.
Maybe that's Ken Lay's enduring legacy. Here was a man so smart, so good, so convincing at his job of selling Enron to the masses, that he made us all believe that he could walk on water. He had government officials, Wall Street, and Main Street all eating out of the palm of his hand. We all believed in Ken Lay and his vision for Enron.
Though the saying goes that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, I think that maxim perhaps undervalues the level of anger that a mob of former true believers can muster. Perhaps now, Mr. Lay can solve the riddle for us.

Muy bueno pregunta, nolajo ...
Why wouldn't the good captain post his sworn affadavit himveryownself?
Maybe he's misplaced his copy.
Butt that would be counterproductive to "Viking's" agenda, wouldn't it?
Whatever that agenda might be.
gosh, rio ...
whatever prompted that post? Sounds as if you had an encounter of the third kind!
So you're not "Viking"? Could've fooled me! You know, I suspect, that there are some very talented posters who could prolly verify or disprove what you say ...
rotten ...
"Viking" has his own unique definition of "fair and balanced." I learned that when we did lunch lo those many years ago.
My last post allowed today, so hasta luego.
I guess he's gone for a coffee break.
I can't figger out why my post 12676 hasn't been pulled.
But if it is, I'll simply repost it.
You can stop telling me to calm down, "Viking" ...
I don't have to watch my diet or monitor my bp because of heart prollems.
Nice to see you went to bed early. That prolly helps, too, getting enough sleep. Don't overexert in the exercise department, though. At 5000' or so, that could cause you some problems.
As for my previous posts tonight ... I just think it's pretty funny that you of all peeps offered yourself up as a "fair" and "balanced" board monitor.
Evidently others do, too.
Tell us, "Viking" ... why aren't you pulling capndagood's repetitive, spamming posts that have absolutely nothing to do with this company? Wouldn't that be "fair" and "balanced"?
I think so.
You're getting really windy, capndagood ...
taking lessons from inet?
And what does that all have to do with cdex/loch? Have to admit, I didn't read it, just skimmed the first few lines. But I'm sure there's some relevance to the company now known as cdex/formerly known as loch ... pls to spell it out in your inimitable, clear fashion.
omygawd ...
where'd you ever find that hugely important piece of trivia, mike?
And why'dja post it here? Does it have something to do with loch/cdex?
oops whoops, paige ...
seems you've been caught out.
You've been told, over and over again ... ya just shouldn't try to one-up either arloco or diddy (or xenophon, for that matter).
They'll getcha every time.
paige !!
I DID post substance!
Who posted the London tube article?
ME!
I tell you, the PS36754 has returned and is already doing its stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!
What more could you want? It'll be worth BILLIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
(raining here ... I wonder if it is where "Viking" is.)
of course it's intentional ...
just as capnmike's "connect the dot" posts are intentional.
I don't think paige is doing that for any reason other than to bolster her own sinking feeling about her "investment" in this faece (edit: make that farce) that calls itself a company, though, whereas capnmike has a much more troubling and problematic agenda, imo.
Does that mean I can say I'm a shareholder and will forevermore be permitted to post anything I please?
It's that easy?
Maybe he's already "retired" ...
though it's still pretty early in his part of the country ... only about 5:30 or so. Perhaps he was playing tennis all day and got all worn out, time for bed.
I wonder ... if whoever it was who posted all those years of sales by the known insiders repeated that post a few dozen times, the way capnmike repeats his posts, would "Viking" consider it spamming and delete the information?
Nae doot.
lmorovan ...
as the new board monitor, perhaps "Viking" will see fit to change the opening lines about what's allowed and not allowed. After all, weren't those words yours? Why in the world would he let them stand?
He might as well use these (you may cioy and paste at will, "Viking"):
"Nothing I perceive as detrimental to cdex or loch harris will be permitted on this board. Nothing calling a spade a spade will be either, and that includes identifying posters by their other aliases. Only hyping, misleading posts will be accepted. Like diamonte, I will monitor this board closely to make sure the ground rules are observed and only loyalists and inonits are granted leave to post."
gosh, I don't know, rotten ...
I haven't tried to use another alias.
Maybe he's using another 'puter to post now? That must be it.
well now THAT'S certainly on topic!
Wonder if kismet will find some reason to delete it.
Me, upset, rio? You certainly know me better than to say that. As a matter of fact, you're one of the few here who actually know me in person! Even broke bread with me, in a manner of speaking.
Let's test something ...
Here is my post that you deleted, "Viking" -- with edits I'm making now in bold face.
Is it now on topic?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, this is just t'riffic ...
"Viking" who has also gone under the alias of kismet and riorancho takes over the board.
Kismet and riorancho who got outted for his telephone and posting and radio talk show call-in stunts. Which stunts were for the express purpose of hyping the company formerly known as Loch Harris (ticker loch) and now known as Chemical Detection Excellence (or something -- ticker cexi, I think).
Whatever were you thinking, Matt, naming him the board moderator? Best available talent? Surely capnmike would have been a better choice ... or didn't he offer his services? Prolly not, as he seems otherwise occupied.
Why did you delete my post, "Viking"?
Was it too uncomfortable for you?
It had everything in the world to do with this company, so being off topic couldn't have been the reason.
It wasn't spam, so that couldn't have been the reason.
It wasn't deceitful -- as you and many others know, it was entirely truthful -- so that couldn't have been the reason.
It certainly wasn't crude or offensive in any way (except apparently to you) so that couldn't have been the reason.
But you let aleb's OT posts remain (maybe they're not there any longer -- haven't looked) and deleted mine ... why is that?
I do still have a copy of it, anticipating that it prolly wouldn't last long. If I posted it again, would you delete it?
Of course you were referring to aleb.
Now about the spamming capndagood is indulging in ...
I think you should, diddy ... and then we can all watch whitemoon change the subject.
okay, Matt ... that's fair enough.
That'll be the day, when you "stick to the truth"!
'][;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(sorry ... my cat just walked across the keyboard and even HE thought that was funny! he's a very bigg cat and hit several keys at once with his super bigg paw. talented, he is)
nasphantom ... to add to diddy's "special order" ... how about a little parmesan on them?
... but they're now in the London tube, testing testing testing!
Enough of all this meth talk!
Here's where cdex is ... absolutely no doubt about it ... c'mon, capndagood, quit distracting everyone with your endless posts about other things.
THIS IS CDEX'S BIGG SCORE !!!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/4773611.stm
butt mikedagood saw it as "interesting" and positive news, didn't he? Something about less is more? (tm Mies)
All a matter of perspective, I guess. Or motivation.
Why in the world is he STILL posting -- again and endlessly -- when he said his work was done and he was retiring (so to speak)?
Can't trust or believe anything he posts, that's fershirley.
I must be missing something ...
I thought the # of signatures reduced, not grew (according to the dates arloco cited) ... ???
Unbelievable, rotten.
The lengths some peeps will go.
What happened to post 12329? Why is it gone? Who posted it?
as I said: recidivism by any other name.
plus ca change, etc ...
