Polychromix- another company with a "meth gun" and more...
http://www.polychromix.com/
OT: The following from a director with SW BELL in Mexico City.
I spent five years working in Mexico.
I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval.
During that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the same except hers did not permit her to work.
To apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my:
1. Birth certificates for Barbara and me.
2. Marriage certificate.
3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.
4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of
graduation.
5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.
6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indicating I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing."
7. Finally, I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on earth" letter. It was fun to write.
All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on the right.
Once they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican attorney touring Mexican government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location (and we remember at least four locations) we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the government's actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid.
We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law.
We were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back. We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size pages annually.
The FM3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. Leaving the country meant turning in the FM# and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs.
It was a real adventure and if any of our senators or congressmen went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico.
The Mexican Government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their White House or government offices but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy. The US embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican Military surround the block with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on US or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California
or Texas.
Please feel free to share this with everyone who thinks we are being hard on illegal immigrants.
PLEASE FOREWARD TO ALL UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
NIR Spectroscopy – The Key to Measurement and Control of the Solid Dosage Form Manufacturing Process
By Brian Davies, Director Process Analytical Technology, Scot Ellis, NIR Product Manager, Thermo Electron Corporation
http://www.pharmpro.com/ShowPR.aspx?PUBCODE=021&ACCT=0000100&ISSUE=0606&RELTYPE=ATO&...
Inet64, mellow out. RA isn't calling anyone a POS and even if he did it doesn't give you the right to call everyone on this board a POS.
You're starting to remind me of capnmike and the Nancy B. incident. Remember, two wrongs don't make a right.
Hmmmm... I'm also leaning toward (A) since "Absence-of-Malice" Ledgy was not the only on-line Loch/CDEx stock promoter that suddenly vanished.
How about A & B?
I wonder how many of those Valimed Baxa/CDEx have sold, the first couple hunderd should sell like hotcakes to all the teaching/pediatric hospitals.
Got a feeling the Q might mention more "deliveries".
So RA,
Didn't want to wait one more week for the Q?
Same scam, different scamco.
Speaking of insiders and Loch/CDEX stock promoters, who were the three posters that reportedly visited the CDEx trade shows?
1. Capnmike
2. Ontheedge
3. Monsoonman
4. Ok Paige/Pookster, we'll give you honorable mention.
"I'll even volunteer to crunch the numbers for free if it means saving us all."
Why would CDEx use you when they have a fellow insider and inventor of Moonie Math at their disposal. I don't think you could match his numbers!
"Jenn: Baxa was not ordered to appear in court or appear for deposition. The subject of the subpoena was in an attachment not shown."
You are corerect 240z Baxa was not "orderd" to appear in court, I believe the phrase was "you are commanded"... LOL
Crow, where is the difference? Don't both state 86 signatures as of November, 2005?
Childish trash only capable of impressing other children- no one else.
If you want a good laugh go read the old CEO statements on lmorovan's website. Now there's one good reason why insiders don't want shareholders to go there! LOL Unbelieveable the carrots that were dangled along the way to the SOL expiration.
* VAMMP (not a word on that "billion dollar tech" acquired from the APA since Sandia patented a remarkably similar technology)
* "There are no known technical obstacles remaining in the development of EM-1" (paraphrased) yet it was reportedly back-burnered for technical difficulties.
* The suite of HLS concept products based on the back-burnered tech which remains advertised on the CDEx website.
* The announcement of the marketing of the PS3 in January, 2003 which was highlighted by a brochure with a mock-up picture and technical specifications which were a joke. The only thing CDEX was marketing was shareholders IMO. The specs did not include the shoot time, the stand-off distance nor the detection concentration limits. Instead, the brochure described the size, weight and power requirements, all fluff information to a serious buyer
* The same technology appeared a year later in a DOJ report where CDEX repored a stand-off distance of under an inch and an unknown integration time and cost. It stated it would be available on the market the following year (2004-05).
* Then there was SafePill which morphed into Valimed and went from people hyping that there would be several units in every hospital to people now holding their breaths until the next Q comes out. (I remain very curious how well valimed will sell.)
* Now it's the meth gun which was hyped with innuendos and irrelevant links by the Loch/CDEX stock promoters and insider shills which have recently disappeared from the boards. Will shareholders evey see a technical spec sheet on the meth gun so it can be compared to similar commercially available products? Since it has never happen with past products I don't see why they'd start providing that information now, besides, it gives the hypsters the wiggle room to claim how superior "our tech" is to others.
After five years what does CDEX really have that will make a splash in the marketplace? I believe that savvy, long term investors that know the history of Loch/CDEX aren't quite sure yet.
Some posters on the The True CEDX Longs board seem to frown upon anyone using lmorovan's website for information on the law suit. Some even claim their computers start acting up after visiting his site.
"A process must be in place for the return of medications to the pharmacy, including procedures for preventing diversion of medications."
As Crow has stated, Valimed won't prevent diversion, it will only displace the diversion from happening after the Valimed test. A effective chain-of-custody and a tamper-proof procedure is still the most important protocol to prevent diversion IMO.
Health care systems need to be regulated like the FAA regulates the aviation industry.
If The aviation industry had as many deaths as has been estimated to occur annually in the medical community due to errors, it would be the equivalent to one jumbo jet crashing every day.
That's a shocking statistic.
"This stand-alone product is in production and is
currently installed in a number of hospital pharmacy
settings."
It will be interesting to see how many pediatric hospitals buy Valimed just for narcotic returns.
Furthermore, with all the online hype from the now vanished band of Loch/CDEx stock promoters, I'll be absolutely shocked if all first production Valimed units did not sell immediately.
Slip sliding away... slip sliding away, the closer you get to your destination the more you're slip sliding away.
Oops, one terahertz = one trillon hertz. Geez Crow, you're suppose to catch those typos for me.
We are getting paid for team work dontchaknow.
Re the Argonne Labs technology, the ASD patent makes claims to the detection of pharmaceutical products using light in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. The Argonne technology uses light in the terahertz range (one billion hertz) which lies between microwaves and infrared. ASD has no claims in the terahertz range.
That alone is a good reason why I don't believe Argonne is infringing on ASD patent claims and their tech development will have no effect on the suit against CDEx.
Apples and organes.
Valimed operates in the UV range claimed by ASD and is being marketed specifically to do the same things as disclosed in the ASD patent.
Apples and apples?
And BTW, a link to another company developing this same terahertz technology was posted some time ago and mostly ignored by readers... just like my post about the ASD patent was ignored 15 months ago.
INET says:
"...Can you honestly see any reason why this stock should be selling for more than it is.As you say we have less value today than 2001,(if that is your goal) but today we have potential not BS as we evidently had then."
Q: What do you call the "suite of products" that CDEx advertised immediately after inception in 2002?
A: BS
I appears that Trader661 is slowly taking over Edgy's position as CDEX PPer and on-line stock promoter:
It just seems to me that all ex LOCH shareholders should be somewhat grateful for still being in play. I'm certain that the process has been slow, and the PPS is not where most had hoped it would be.
IMO, CDEX is growing, and time will tell whether it can increase it's investment potential. But, if you are an ex LOCH shareholder, you're still in the game.
Funny how these insiders have grown hevos grande directly after the SOL expired.
The players in the Loch scam were good, too good to leave Loch shareholders holding the bag and be faced with countless law suits.
Trader661 NOW says that ex-loch shareholders are lucky they got anything at all! LMAO!!
Stop it Trader661... you're killin' me! LOL
Scared, funny that you should mention that...
So I guess you can say I am timing the market now by withdrawing all of my mutual funds and putting them into cash for a period of time, not forever, well, maybe not forever.
I just liquidated four of my mutual funds last week for very similar reasons.
LOL How wrong are you? Hmmmm... let's me think about that.
OK, you're not entirely wrong, it was just the way you expressed it as if it was a bad thing that made Valimed/MG better. Not True. The Raman spectrometer works as a stand alone unit although it has limitations just like Valimed can't see things that don't fluoresce.
I would think that if they stated difficult to identify..I would have to think that it wouldn't be at 100% accuracy thus the other machine gives a double check...how wrong am I?
There new system uses both IR and Raman spectrscopy on a single platform- one machine.
No Paige, they don't "need to be used together". However, when combined they improve accuracy and reliablity by confirming a chemical from two different data sources.
Valimed uses only one data source and cannot identify chemicals that don't fluoresce. Had CDEx combined UV and NIR it would have been a much more powerful tool.
ASD's RxSpec combined NIR/VIS, had they combined NIR/VIS/UV it would have been a more powerful tool.
Now gathered on a single
platform, the Raman and infrared information is combined where
it undergoes additional analysis, with combined-search results in
hand within seconds. The entire process, from independent data
collection on each device to advanced search results, is complete
in less than 2 minutes. Because the HazMatID can store both the
Raman and infrared results, in addition to the combined search
results, the data can be sent to ReachBack. Summarizing, although
either instrument may independently identify the unknown
hazardous sample, the ability to automatically integrate multiple
data sources can be vital, and allows the emergency responder
to say to their incident commander “I verified the identity of the
unknown based upon the following multiple data sources…”.
http://www.sensir.com/Smiths/AppNotes/APP%2076%20-%20Combining%20Infrared%20and%20Raman.pdf
The key advantage of Raman spectroscopy is its ability to penetrate a variety of glass and plastic containers. Therefore, unknown solids and liquids found in unmarked glass jars or baggies can be identified without handling the sample directly. Raman spectroscopy, generally speaking, is also more practical when dealing with chemicals mixed with water (i.e., aqueous solutions). Although no single instrument
can identify all the unknown chemical hazards present during an incident, the RespondeR RCI can quickly identify a vast number of solids and liquids. Note, the RespondeR RCI can also be used in combination with the HazMatID™ IR identifier via wireless communication to obtain more accurate and thorough results if the need arises.
Didn't that video show Foster pointing the meth gun to an open pile of powder?
Didn't Foster also mention future networking like what Smiths Detection already has?
Why does it seems Loch/CDEx is always a nickel short, a day late and they have their on-board stock promoters hype their products beyond all reasonable expectation?
Good read. Point and shoot meth lab substance detection thru glass and plastic containers By Smith:
http://www.sensir.com/Smiths/Raman/SD_App077.pdf
If only Loch/CDEx investors took this posters words seriously
"...being a CDEX investor has created some serious blindness, along with the deafness and dummyness"
They could have limited their loses.
What are we suppose to do with that link Arloco? Spend money? LOL
Foster said the meth gun can give officers a probable cause to test chemicals they find.
"They can collect those samples, not have to destroy parts of them for a field test, collect them into evidence, submit them to the state lab or medical examiners for final testing and improve their safety with highly reliable analysis," Foster said.
Like they don't have probable cause when they raid a meth lab and find chemicals, cooking apparatus and a bag of white powder with a bundle of cash.
Also, it doesn't appear that Valimed or the meth gun are being used for quantitative analysis or at least they're not being used to provide an accurate and relied upon measure of concentration.
That's yet another reason I don't consider this the original tech as advertised during the Loch Harris scam. Remember everyone? The tech that could measure trace quantities of explosive (PPM) at 30 meters (or even 2 meters) in real time.
... USING X-RAYS!!!!!!
I think both of you are forgetting the fact that Raiderman is a self proclaimed PR man and he takes pride in delivering professionalism in his posts.
It's not the accuracy of the content that's important, it's the admiration of his fellow Longs that agree with his every word that he seems to crave.
He's a damn good cheerleader for the blind.
No way a TB though, the pros skipped town long ago when the money dried up.
Paige, I'm not sure what the point of your question is:
"And all of what has been said about our Army and Navy contracts...I ask you.... Why did we have them sign our Provisional Patent?..Can you answer me that? "
Don't know Paige, but I'm sure Demmo47 (a federal contracting officer) could answer that pronto. My guess is that it's SOP when a government agency is contacting with a private company's intellectual property. It's an acknowledgement by the second party that CDEX considers their property as proprietary and that they are seeking patent protection.
That is a trivial matter compared to the fact that the Army and Navy weren't interested in pursing Phase II development. Also if you checked the file wrapper you'd see that the Army, Navy, Air force and DOE all had the first look at the patent application to determine whether to put the wraps on the patent disclosure as secret. No agency considered it secret.
"Have you kept up on the Nuclear Technologies??
Not really, as I've stated in the past, my main interest was in the XRF technology and the 10/268,678 patent application. There was some hints by our resident Loch/CDEx stock promoters that the XRF tech could be used to monitor the radioisotopes inside nuclear waste drums. I beleive that's possible with x-rays in the 2000-3000 KeV energy range. However, it would be very expensive to develop for a limited market and it's really getting out of their field of expertise IMO. There are many other companies that have a better capability to manufacture such equipment.
As far as monitoring radiation, I don't believe that the Loch/CDEx technology is suited for that at all. Besides as you've read, there are a lot of companies manufacturing geiger counters and similar instruments and they're making them smaller and smaller using technologies unlike anything CDEX has.
What information have you come up with for the use of UVF in the nuclear industry?
lmorovan, what leads you to that conclusion? EOM
LOL Is that your DD Paige, the report that CDEX hired Waterville to write?
polease
Welp RA, after marketing for 3 years and finding no one interested in the PS3 technology, it really makes any reasonable person wonder just how revolutionary it really is.
The Army and Navy paid to take a look at it and apparently weren't interested either.
Raiderman thought that the Valimed should be in every neighborhood drugstore even though they do no IV compounding or narcotics returns which is its primary usefulness.
Now Raiderman thinks the meth gun (hair dryer-2) is needed in every law enforcement agency in America even though we have yet to be told how well it performs compared to the many portable guns already on the market.
I think his cheerleader posts go a bit beyond "cautiously optimistic" as he likes to consider himself.
But if honest shareholders all become rich I suppose the end justifies the means.
"Viking65...the video stated the Meth Gun will sell for $10,000 once it's ready for market."
Once it is ready for market, I wonder if they're going to "officially" start marketing it was the same stunning success of the PS3 (hair dryer-1)?
Talk, talk, talk, rumor, rumor, rumor.
CEO STATEMENT
January 24, 2003
We have now officially begun the marketing process for our first chemical detection product, the PS3 (Personnel Security Screening System). The PS3 is a battery/AC powered, hand-held scanner and portable processing unit that uses ultraviolet (UV) energy to detect trace amounts (residue) of explosives in the PS3 database. The PS3 detects these substances on areas impacted by the UV energy, such as clothing, skin, countertops, luggage, computers and personal items (e.g., using the scanner inside of purses and backpacks). (The attached PS3 brochure provides features/specifications. If unable to open, get free Acrobat Reader here. ) The PS3 is mobile, quick, and safe; requires no operator interpretation; and can economically augment existing explosive screening systems. The PS3 can also be constructed in a “man-mobile” (e.g., backpack) platform. The PS3 database is expandable to include other explosives and illegal drugs.
CEO STATEMENT
May 20, 2003
Focusing first on explosive detection, in my last CEO Statement I noted that we had “officially” begun marketing for the first of our four-product suite of explosive detection products, the PS3 (Personnel Security Screening System) -- a battery/AC powered, hand-held scanner and portable processing unit that uses ultraviolet (UV) energy to detect trace amounts (residue) of explosive types contained in the system’s database. Since January, we have upgraded the PS3 to provide the capability to detect additional explosives, direct mailed our PS3 brochure to hundreds of targeted organizations, and demonstrated the PS3 at our first “show” (the TechNet at the DC Convention Center on May 6-8). CDEX is currently assembling/evaluating responses, as we react to the marketplace. These may lead to modifications to the product as we go forward in the marketing process. In addition, we are continuing discussions designed to lead to other partnering arrangements, while pushing ahead with the other three products in the explosive detection suite. At bottom, we are now actively in the marketplace with a product that we believe will compete well against targeted competition. We will be bringing other sister products to the marketplace in the near term. We look forward to the next six to twelve months.
...And what was that metrology device they allegedly purchased to measure wafer planarity? It was suppose to be a 100 times better than anything else. The Shartky-hartman device or something like that?
This is how you can detect a meth lab from the street:
Methamphetamine Detection
With methamphetamine usage and production growing to alarming levels throughout much of the United States, MESH has begun adapting its chemical sensor to be employed in law enforcement. This project uses the latest version of the MCAD unit to detect methamphetamine labs by identifying target chemicals that are being outgassed during the cooking process.

IR SENSOR GOOD FOR 1000 FEET:
http://www.meshoxford.com/Stainslaus%20County%20Press%20Release_May2005.pdf
Hey! that's an improvement, the last specs on the hair dryer that I remember reading had the stand-off distance at under two inches.
It's still not the "point it from the street and it will tell you everything inside the house" wonder gun.
Crow, exactly, the meth gun was being advertised by Loch/CDEX stock promoters thru posting on these boards, emailing campaigns, and verbal communication long before today.
The rumor mill has much more detail to the meth gun story.
Even Closer seems to have had the inside scoop judging from his recent posts and alleged buying. He says that something real big is just around the corner. Says all those naysayers will become turncoats.
His activity seems to be getting very close to trading on insider information IMO.
But he wouldn't do that would he? LOL
Raiderman has a dream: a Valimed in every neighborhood, Mom-Pop pharmacy, a meth gun in every police station in the country and a chicken in every pot.
