Very well said .... egos are good look at Jobs.... without his ego Apple would not be the behemoth it is today. Not saying Li is Jobs, but egos create drive even through opportunities (known as failures to some) to see it through the end.
You know my contacts told me how important it is to have the fruit company oversee IP and be a student of how they navigate through that world, since it’s so important. The fruit company let Li into the picture the day they signed the security release to allow CIP to grant license. They could have let Liquidmetal die through cash starvation, wonder why they didn’t.....
Come on BB4, that’s the current Liquidmetal CEO lol
Well invite him too and maybe get Bruce to come along
You the wizard of Lake Forest or what? You see everyone’s trading account that you know that everyone carries a loss? Well a nickel is less than a share of Liquidmetal, so maybe I shouldn’t trust you with math....
Oh boy your good at math .... need some Liquidmetal coins?
Lot of Liquidmetal Inc on here....
Plus 10.5 in short and long term investments ....
They still have plenty of lifetime in them....
Issued to materion yesterday which is licensed to Eutectix via their deal.

“In some embodiments, a structure can include or be formed from any machinable or formable material. For example, in some embodiments a three-dimensional structure can include or be formed from a material such as a metal, a ceramic, an amorphous material such as glass or an amorphous metal, a polymer, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, a three-dimensional structure is a metal. In some embodiments, the metal can be an elemental metal or a metal alloy. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional structure can include metals such as aluminum or steel. For example, the three-dimensional structure can be aluminum or an aluminum alloy. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional structure can include a 6000 series aluminum alloy, for example a 6060, 6061, or 6063 aluminum alloy. In some embodiments, for example where the three-dimensional structure includes a metal and/or conductive material, the structure can act as an EMC/EMI noise shield “
Ok your response is really out there if that is what you draw as a comparison to the Paracletes response to. ... smh
Last answer is way off base....Lugee does NOT have full access to the IP portfolio under his license. The caretaker (Apple) did not issue a Security release to CIP to allow that entity to issue the IP license. All recorded. In review of what is licensed was not the majority of the IP created under Apple and Liquidmetal collaboration through the last two years before the last extension of that agreement in 2016. The caretaker has a connection to the licensee so no one should forget that.
It’s funny that materion received the BMG from Eutectix and so reality is the Eutectix - Liquidmetal relationship is more important
Until the US has a Foxconn level manufacturer for CE in the US .... globalization continues on
Risk lies by personal choice
Getting crowded and the existing IP around this is going to get tight...
Looks like it OTW....hadn’t been on this Yihao based site in a while.
I had shared this a while back and now officially a patent from NG.

At least a portion of the shaft body 112 spaced from the proximal shaft end 108 is a bondable portion 114 which is at least partially made of a bondable material. Optionally, any or all of the bolt 102 may be made of a bondable material. The term "bondable material" is used herein to indicate a material which is amenable to attachment to another (same or different) material via a diffusion bonding process. Diffusion bonding is a process for joining two components which involves no liquid fusion or filler metal. No weight is added to the total, and the diffusion bonded join tends to exhibit both the strength and temperature resistance of the base material(s). The materials endure no, or very little, plastic deformation; very little residual stress is introduced; and there is little or no contamination from the bonding process. Diffusion bonding may be performed on a join surface of theoretically any size with no increase in processing time; practically speaking, the surface tends to be limited by the pressure required and physical limitations of the diffusion bonding process and associated machinery. Diffusion may be performed, for example, with similar and dissimilar metals, reactive and refractory metals, and/or pieces of varying thicknesses. An example of a bondable material is an amorphous metal, such as those available from Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. The term "bondable", as used herein, does not encompass a strictly adhesive (e.g., glue or other "sticky" added material) connection scheme which does not use a "bondable material".
An amorphous metal (also known as "metallic glass" or "glassy metal") is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with a disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms. Amorphous metals are non-crystalline, and have a glass-like structure. Unlike common glasses (such as window glass), which are typically insulators, amorphous metals have good electrical conductivity. There are several ways in which amorphous metals can be produced, including extremely rapid cooling, physical vapor deposition, solid-state reaction, ion irradiation, and mechanical alloying. “

[0046] The housing 101 of the computing device 100 can include a peripheral housing 103. In some embodiments, the peripheral housing 103 can include or be formed from a metallic material, a ceramic material, an amorphous material such as glass or an amorphous metal, a polymeric material, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the peripheral housing 103 can be aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The peripheral housing 103 can have a constant cross-sectional area, such that, for example, the peripheral housing 103 can have substantially the same dimensions (e.g., diameter, height, width, depth, etc.) at a first location and a second, different location. In some embodiments, the peripheral housing 103 defines an aperture 113 or display area. For example, the peripheral housing 103 can define a centrally located aperture 113, with the peripheral housing 103 extending away from the aperture 113. In addition to defining the aperture 113, the peripheral housing 103 can define an internal volume of the housing 101 that extends throughout all or a portion of the peripheral housing 103. The internal volume can have a constant cross-sectional area. Alternatively, the peripheral housing 103 can have a variable cross-sectional area, or a cross-sectional shape, that is different from that shown in FIG. 1A. In some embodiments, the internal volume can extend substantially around the entirety of the aperture 113 or display area defined by the peripheral housing. “
