Thanks for your idea Garry.
We are still focussed on following the plan and getting everything into full production at a number of locations. Eventually we will consider other ideas from them, but right now our goal is to be the main supplier of TQDots and solar cells. Keep a list of ideas...maybe there could be spinoff companies or joint ventures later (after this year).

Excellent series of posts. Good visual breakdown and informative.
Sensors for water and fungus would definitely be handy at home or at a water plant, (in SA for example).
Think we're spot on for some connections. Looking forward to update for confirmation and future direction(s).
this headline kinda caught my eye, (bottom of first link).

TU/e researches cells
65 percent efficiency
Three researchers at Eindhoven University
of Technology (TU/e) want to develop solar
cells employing nanotechnology with more
than 65 percent efficiency. The Ministry of
Economic Affairs has made 1.2 million euro
available for this research into nano-wire
solar cells. According to the researchers, nano
technology, in combination with the use of
concentrated sunlight through mirror systems,
has the potential to lead to the world’s most
efficient solar cell system. The TU/e researchers
are working with Philips MiPlaza and expect to
achieve more than 65 percent efficiency with
their nano-structured solar cells.
Solterra enters Dutch chemistry consortium
for validation of high volume production
Solterra Renewable Technologies has entered into a process development agreement with
a consortium of advanced chemistry companies in the Netherlands, to validate high volume
production methods for its proprietary tetrapod quantum dots. The agreement follows the
MOU that Solterra, FutureChemistry and Flowid signed earlier. FutureChemistry and Flowid will
provide the expertise necessary to find optimal process conditions and scale the synthesis of
the quantum dots to necessary levels. With larger quantities of quantum dots, Solterra will be
enabled to pursue its goal of reaching 1GW of solar cell production. Pieter Nieuwland, research
director of FutureChemistry: ‘Testing new chemical reactions is often performed in a traditional
way: step by step. With the technology of FutureChemistry and Flowid, these reactions become
full-continuous processes that we can optimize with our software and translate to much larger
reactors. This project will will prove that the technology is reaching maturity.’
Four new solar projects under the ‘Pieken in de Delta’ banner
Pieken in de Delta’ (Peaks in the Delta)
is a Dutch government grant scheme.
The main starting point for the grant
scheme is the stimulation of area-specific
economic strengths in six Dutch areas:
expanding and reinforcing clusters that
are important for making the Netherlands
a competitive and dynamic economy
against the backdrop of a strong and
innovative Europe. At the beginning of
July, it was announced that four new
solar projects were to be awarded a grant
under the scheme:
CIGSelf
The CIGSelf project involves research and
development of new industrial level manufacturing
processes for CIGS solar cells. The
collaboration comprises the secretary Smit
Ovens, Dutch Space, ECN, Holland Innovative,
OTB Solar, Philips Applied Technologies,
Scheuten Solar, TNO and TU/e. A prerequisite
for raising CIGS to an industrial level is a
good laboratory process that can achieve
the requested high efficiency of more than
twelve percent so that cross-matching at
laboratory and industrial levels is possible.
Solar Focus Zuidoost
The basis for the Solar Focus Zuidoost (Southeast)
project is SunCycle’s Concentrated PV
(CPV) principle. The SunCycle solar panel
focuses sunlight onto a small solar cell. To
facilitate mass production, a manufacturing
process needs to be developed for all the
panel components that is suitable for mass
production and a set-up for computerised
assembly. In addition to SunCycle, other
parties are participating, being KMWE
Precisie Eindhoven, Neways Technologies,
TNO Industry & Technology and the
Radboud University Nijmegen. Following the
execution of the project, a production line
can be rolled out that manufactures solar
panels that deliver sustainable electricity for
€ 0.11 per kWh in the Netherlands and € 0.06
per kWh in Southern-Europe, lower than the
price of grey energy.
FAST ALD
In the project FAST ALD, the TNO spin-off
SoLayTec is to focus on adding an extremely
thin layer of aluminium oxide to the rear of
a solar cell using Atomic Layer Deposition
technology. The project focuses on the acceleration
of the ALD process by a factor of
one hundred, so that the production of solar
cells becomes economically feasible.
Zonnedag
The project Zonnedag will test and apply
new materials with which the performance
of solar panels can be considerably
improved. Above all, this will explore the
improvement of measurement and control
systems – the so-called junction box – and
the connection between the junction box
and the solar panel.
HIFLEX for new low-cost scalable
organic photovoltaics applications
The European research project HIFLEX was launched at the start of 2010. Over the next
three years a European consortium comprising five research institutes and two industrial
companies aims to jointly develop a technology for highly flexible Organic Photovoltaics
(OPV) modules, which will allow the cost-effective production of large-area OPV modules
with commercially viable Roll-to-Roll compatible printing and coating techniques. HIFLEX
will be coordinated by Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN). Organic Photovoltaics
(OPV) is considered as one of the important emerging photovoltaic technologies
which carry large hope for substantial cost reductions for PV in the future. The potential
for cost reduction is based on the compatibility with high throughput processing and the
use of low cost materials. The research in HIFLEX aims at developing the OPV technology
to match the particular requirements of mobile and remote ICT applications, delivering the
required efficiency under different light conditions, sufficient lifetime for practical use,
acceptable cost structure, appropriate power-to-weight ratio and fit-to-purpose mechanical
flexibility. HIFLEX intends to accelerate the exploitation of this OPV technology for a
wide variety of ICT products in the mobile electronics market.

Interface Engineering of Layer-by-Layer Stacked Graphene Anodes for High-Performance Organic Solar Cells [Communication]
An interface engineering process to deploy graphene film as the anode in poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM)-based polymer solar cells is demonstrated. By modifying the interface between the graphene anode and the photoactive layer with MoO3 and poly(3,4-ethylenedioythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), the power conversion efficiency of the solar cells reaches ˜83.3% of control devices that use an indium tin oxide (ITO) anode.

New template based nanoelectrode arrays for organic/inorganic photovoltaic applications [Rapid Research Letter]
In this Letter the authors report a new nanofabrication technology to yield highly arrayed nanoelectrodes based on porous templates. This new process technology can significantly increase the space usage of porous templates. In addition, this novel nanofabrication technology allows for the optimal control of 3D parameters such as thickness, spacing, and height of nanoelectrodes, leading to maximum occupancy of organic photoactive materials between the nanoelectrodes. It provides a promising outlook for higher efficiency of hybrid organic–inorganic solar cells.

a little something involving tetrapods
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7862624.html ,,,,,involves tetrapods
Tran, Bao (6768 Meadow Vista Ct., San Jose, CA, 95135, US)
Application Number:
11/064262
Publication Date:
01/04/2011
Filing Date:
02/23/2005
United States Patent 786262
Nano-particles on fabric or textile
As discussed in US Application Serial No. 20030145779, three dimensional tetrapods may be important alternatives to nanocrystal fibers and rods as additives for mechanical reinforcement of polymers (e.g., polymeric binders including polyethylene, polypropylene, epoxy functional resins, etc.). Tetrapod shaped nanocrystal particles, for example, can interlock with each other and can serve as a better reinforcing filler in a composite material (e.g., with a binder), than for example, nanospheres. The nanocrystal particles can be mixed with the binder using any suitable mixing apparatus. After the composite material is formed, the composite material can be coated on a substrate, shaped, or further processed in any suitable manner.
An exemplary photovoltaic device may have nanocrystal particles in a binder. This combination can then be sandwiched between two electrodes (e.g., an aluminum electrode and an indium tin oxide electrode) on a substrate to form a photovoltaic device. Two separate mixtures can be used: one containing inorganic semiconductors made of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanorod molecules and one containing the organic polymer to be blended with the nanorods. The mixtures are then combined and spin-cast at room temperature to produce an even film of nanorods that's approximately 200 nanometers thick—about a thousandth the thickness of a human hair. Tetrapods also have independent tunability of the arm length and the band gap, which is attractive for nanocrystal based solar cells or other types of photovoltaic devices. In comparison to nanocrystal particles that are randomly oriented, the tetrapods are aligned and can provide for a more unidirectional current path than randomly oriented nanocrystal particles.
In one embodiment, each flexible photovoltaic cell further includes one or more flexible light-transmitting substrates, a photosensitized interconnected nanoparticle material, and an electrolyte redox system. In general, the nanotube material and the electrolyte redox system are both disposed between the first and second substrates. The flexible base may be the first significantly light-transmitting substrate of the flexible photovoltaic cell. In one embodiment, the flexible photovoltaic cell further includes a photosensitized nanomatrix layer and a charge carrier medium. The photovoltaic cell may energize the display element directly, or may instead charge a power source in electrical communication with the display element. The display apparatus may further include an addressable processor and/or computer interface, operably connected to the at least one photovoltaic cell, for controlling (or facilitating control of) the display element.

QTMM
Given the relative tight supply of available stock, someone seems to have rather positive expectations......
the bid is .10/5000 and the ask is $1.01/500
The ask yesterday was .51/(don't rem. amt.)
While I know it may have no effect on tomorrow's trading, it does reflect on the Keep things safe while I rest attitude.
It also implies expectations are positive and imminent, (of course if expectations weren't met, it'd drop hard.)
With such a low amount on the ask (500) at 1.01 would also seem to imply that someone thinks that would be a good starting point to rise from......just TOL
Will be looking forward to update/news
Time will tell it's own story

The above also covers the US and helps explain Bob’s statement from his paper;
“Our objective is to become one of the first solar module manufacturers to offer a solar electricity solution that competes on a non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.”
Think the IRSES program would allow for exchange of information while retaining proprietary rights, (as in TQDs, printing process, and etc.)
The exchange program will be max 1 yr. As the purpose is to help facilitate the exchange of technology, how long would a QTMM team member need?
Current research could be fair game to researchers or remain under the auspices of the KI. Suspect the host country of the KI would have some incentive(s) to establish and produce there, (jobs/economy/needs). That could help explain similar or parallel lines of product development.
Am very glad SS already had some patents and agreements in order.
Like other members of the Tank, I remain excited about the technology and its potential and am looking forward to the near term future.

....am already bug-eyed
always appreciate your input and pov, Thanks
Dock, good catch on the micro fuel cell
if they've met there target(s), that would explain the exception to further PV research
Life is Good
It was called to my attention that there has been a change in assistant moderators. I don't know anything about it, nor am I really concerned. This board belongs to you the members. As long as we are cordial towards one another, are motivated toward the success of QTMM,(and its technology), and our opinions are expressed,I see no problem.
As I have stated before, with a good group the mod is more of a side note and you are a good group.
I will say that I enjoy working with Hawk and his board and they have been and are helpful on this one. I do understand the need to be unfettered and free, but the bottom line is that the better we all work together, the better our net results.
We need good results to better protect our investment(s).
Look at your own footsteps. They say you are doing well together.
Let's keep on keeping on.

the above of course are decent entry points for further research of interest(s)
If they're doing it in Europe, you can rest assured that everyone else in the know has there own version and there are points where all will overlap. The collaborative information pretty well validates prior supposition.

I suspect as a Futurist he has more freedom to express himself, but that said, it does imply change is happening, ( we don't know to what degree), and most likely more coming.
Dr. Bob is a courteous man, if really concerned, ask him. I think that everyone on the team is fully engaged trying to get things done. I expect they are also making plans about Solterra's IPO, remember they are forward thinking and projecting.
Personally, I plan to hold onto my stock with one hand and my hat with the other....to ride the wave that's coming.
Dock and Hawk have an interesting post about thin film. It seems to build a stronger link to SOFCpower...PEM...think batteries
You members are doing a wonderful job with diversity of thought and weaving things back together....I'm a fan

interesting observation, change is in the air.
think we'll know more soon
