... and I'm sure they both are... to many things IYKWIMAITYD.
Really??? Maybe Capnmike should be paying attention too.
Question for the board: When a loch/CDEx insider is gifted shares, or receives shares for "consulting services", how do they determine the cost basis for those shares for tax purposes after they are sold on the open market?
LOL!!! Riorancho is back to his Canadian shorter theory with a new twist! Too funny!
OT: Xeno, I see that Sunnyvale (i)3 is closing down on 6/30/06. I guess I had some money in an account there that I forgot about. Nice to see they want to give it back! LOL
Yes, another one who seems to have disappeared right around the expiration of the SOL.
They're scurrying off like scared rats, what's going On?
Where have all the Loch/CDEX stock promoters gone?
Has the heat finally been turned on? LOL
lmorovan, please let us know when it's posted. Thank you.
There once was a professor of math,
that never took him a bath.
Students tried all day to keep out of his way,
hoping never to cross his path
Crow, what board were you reading where Rio got TOSed?
I'm fine Kidd. Sounds like you're doing OK too. +6? That's not gonna get ya thru Q school! LOL
Did you ever read this entertaining post by Ontheedge, he seems to have a thing for you:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9632773
Hey kidd we are not "Dabashers". We are so-called bashers! LOL
Kidd, do you think Baxa will sell is hundreds of units by the next quarterly? LOL!!!!

diddddy! Baxa has agreed to purchase units we know that for sure, we will not know how many hundreds of units are sold until the next quarterly....
Kidd, Moonster got excited over this post from Crow:

In fairness, the production startup has issues that are sorted out as the first run is completed. So the first run may be atypical of normal production.
Since the manufacturing facility is largely supported by vendors of the component parts, most production delays, if any, will be the lack of timely delivery of those parts.
That is assuming that BAXA can sell and activate the units as soon as they are produced, and that the demand is such as to strain the production capacity.
Can BAXA sell and activate more than 100 units in a year?
DAMFINO. It is wait and see...as per usual.
AIRBORNE!!!
"Now that most of his "friends' have departed from posting with the end of the SOL.. I wonder if he he isn't feeling a bit exposed."

Crow, I don't think anyone is claiming that CDEx is manufacturing parts for Valimed at the component level.
But that's a good thing. It's smart to design at the subassembly level with COTS subassemblies much like one would do if they wanted to put together a customized computer. If you look in a magazine like Photonics you will see that there is a large variety of electromechanical/opto-electronic/optical/electronic spectrometer subassemblies available from manufacturers that specialize in making them as their core business.
The less customized board level manufacturing the better.
Less design, less development, less testing, less QC, less specialized technicians, less inventory, less headache. Let the manufacturers that make it their core business keep your subassemblies state-of-art, high performance components.
Your point that manufacturing could be bottlenecked by the supply of parts becomes more valid as the parts become more complicated assemblies which are more and more being assemblied off-shore.
I have one vendor that I purchase switching power supplies from and they either have them in stock or there's a 8-10 week lead time from Taiwan. There never seems to be much grey area on lead time.
LOL RA, I replied to WMFT before reading your post but I knew that you were responding to his "hundreds of units" post.
Moonster's only trying to agitate to provoke a response. He knows very well they can't make hundreds of units by the next quarter.
The only thing we know for certain is CDEX set aside 15 of the first 25 units for Baxa and that CDEX claims to have recently delivered an unknown quantity to Baxa.
The PR wording leaves everthing else to speculation IMO.
Paige, have you done your homework assignment? EOM
" Baxa has agreed to purchase units we know that for sure, we will not know how many hundreds of units are sold until the next quarterly...."
Exactly Moonster, Baxa has purchased units.
You said, "look at all the hospitals which have purchased units."
And another point, I don't think they even have the capability to make "hundreds of units" by the next quarter let alone sell them.
I believe that we're going to have to wait until at least the end of the year to see how well Valimed sells in non pediartric and non teaching hospitals.
"How about all of the hospitals buying ValiMed units, are they part of your loch scam?"
LMAO!!!
Tell everyone how many Valimed units have been actually sold to hospitals Moonie. Show us the revenues in the last filing.
How many units has CDEX claimed to have sold?
Hint:
"contractually accepted"
"delivered"
"Partnered with"
It appears that CDEx's defense team didn't have to do much research other than visit ASD's website to learn that Dr. Curtiss participated on the FDA's advisory committee:
Dr. Brian Curtiss — Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer. Dr. Curtiss is a recognized expert in remote sensing earth science technology with over 20 years experience in the field. He has been a technical consultant to National Geographic, has co-authored numerous papers, and holds four patents. Dr. Curtiss was also an active member of the FDA’s Chemometric Working Group of the Process Analytical Technologies Subcommittee for the Advisory Committee for the Pharmaceutical Sciences. His BA is from Washington University and MA and Ph.D are from the University of Washington.
WMFT, do you consider 34 inches to be close to "at least about two meters" or would it be more accurate to say "under a meter"?
What did you see at the show, the hair dryer operating at under two inches?
WMFT, do you think the device that Sandia used to detect trace amounts (PPM) of chemicals at 500 meters with 95% accuracy would be capable of detecting traces of the chemicals normally associated with meth labs?
Optics and digital signal processing have come a long, long way since 1995.
The technology closely follows Moore's Law which states that computer speed and memory capacity doubles every 18 months.
LOL! Sure I do WMFT, the only thing they have to do is build it and make it work properly. Lots of stuff looks good on paper.
How about their first patent application for the XRF spectrometer, the examiner allowed the broad nature of their claims only after changing the description of the stand-off distance from "at great distances" to "at least about two meters".
Did Loch/CDEx ever test or demo the ELF/EM-1 at two meters? NO, not according to poster wpoteet who wrote that all tests were conducted at a stand-off distance of 34 inches.
Do I think the patent application that you referenced can actually operate at the stand-off distance that they claim? Yes, for two reasons, first, it's UV not x-rays and secondly it's already been demonstrated to perform at 500 meters by scientist at Sandia National Laboratory back in 1995 when Poteet, Cauthen and Blair were allegedly working very closely with the lab.
Do you think that CDEx referenced the Sandia project as prior art?
I wonder if ASD knows about this work.

Multispectral Ultraviolet Fluorescence Lidar System Identifies Chemical Mixtures in Field Tests
by P. J. Hargis, Jr., G. C. Tisone, T. D. Raymond, J. G. Taylor, J. S. Wagner, I. S. Shokair,
R. D. Mead, J. D. Daniels, T. J. Sobering, M. S. Johnson, M. W. Trahan,
B. F. Clark, C. Wakefiled-Reyes, and F. R. Franklin
---------------------------------------------------------------
Motivation
Highly sensitive ultraviolet (UV) measurements are generally thought to be of limited use in lidar systems designed to detect chemical species in the atmosphere. Recent work at Sandia National Laboratories has changed this perception and led to the development of a new multispectral UV fluorescence lidar system designed for remote chemical analysis. Briefly, a broadly tunable UV laser is used to transmit multiple laser wavelengths, some of which are selectively absorbed and subsequently excite fluorescence in specific chemical species. The resulting fluorescence spectra at each excitation wavelength are compared to a database of fluorescence spectra from individual species to determine species concentrations. The com-parison is carried out using a unique multivariate analysis algorithm developed at Sandia to determine species concentrations from multi-spectral UV fluorescence measurements.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Accomplishment
Sandia’s multispectral UV fluorescence lidar system was tested in July 1995 at the Nevada Test Site. Measurements were made on vapor plumes consisting of mixtures of benzene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and toluene ranging in concentration from 1 to 500 ppm. All measurements were made at a standoff distance of 0.5 km. Atmospheric attenuation coefficients derived from elastic backscatter measurements were used in the multivariate analysis algorithm to correct measured fluorescence spectra for distortions due to transmission of the fluorescence radiation through the atmosphere. The analysis algorithm was then used to determine species concentrations and time-dependent concentration profiles. Almost 95% accuracy was achieved in identifying species in chemical plumes containing up to four species. Fluorescence detection limits for individual species ranged from about 5 to 10 ppm-m for all measured species. Highlights of the field test results include the first multivariate analysis of multispectral absorption and fluorescence data and the capability of UV fluorescence lidar measurements to map species concentrations in chemical plumes.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Significance
Data obtained at the July 1995 field test demonstrates the potential of multispectral UV fluorescence measurements to detect nuclear, chemical, and biological proliferation activities. Other areas of national importance that benefit from the new technology are counterterrorism, drug interdiction, environmental monitoring, and global climate change.

Excuse me WMFT, I left out the verb- "I'm happy". Now what excuse do you have for this obscenity:
"There wouldn't be ANY lawsuit if what we have isn't very valuable and threatening to other companyes."
Bad spelling and a triple negative ta boot! LOL!!
"There is a law suit because what we have is very valuable and threatening to other companies."
Did you drop out of high school?
I ain't got no none time to be schooling you no more on my company's time.
~out
I happy to see you have your sense of humor today!
There was an action Moonster. EOM
"You seem to have a short memory when it comes to you and crows "predictions"."
My predictions? What predictions have I made Moonster other than to say I believe that Loch/CDEx will NEVER produce a explosive detection device based solely on XRF.
That prediction has so far stood the test of time.
I'm batting 1000.
I've heard rumor about one application, but I refuse to spread it on any public message board. It reminds me of another rumor I heard several years ago about Loch having an (ELF) contract with the FAA.
Total BS spread by scam artists.
WMFT, where are all the STOCK PROMOTERS that use to grace these boards before the SOL expired???
Do you still communicate with them?
I do hope we get an occasional "drive-by" just to keep us informed on all the wonderful, humanitarian applications to the revolutionary Loch/CDEx technology.
I really do.
Has CDEx disclosed information on anything at all other than the mention in that DOJ report?
In that report CDEx claimed that their UVF device worked at under two inches and would be available the following year.
That was over two years ago, where is it? What is the stand-off distance? What is the shoot time? How much does it cost? What can it detect?
Does it work better than Crow's BS meter?
Paige, what technology does CDEX have that can be useful for HLS?
Sensing explosives with THz
Chemical and explosives detection remains as one of the U.S. military’s most pressing needs. Looking to answer this call is a team of engineers from the Dept. of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Illinois, and their suite of chemical sensors. The sensors are based on THz spectroscopy and use that particular band of the EM spectrum to detect the energy levels of a molecule as it rotates.
Instruments in Argonne’s Terahertz Test Facility, such as the one Sami Gopalsami uses, can detect trace chemicals at the part-per-billion level. Photo: ANL
As the energy levels of a molecule are distinct, this technique can provide a “spectral fingerprint” of the target substance, ideally a chemical or explosive material. Operating at frequencies between 0.1-10 THz, the sensors offer a sensitivity four to five orders of magnitude higher and imaging resolution, according to Argonne, 100 to 300 times more possible than at microwave frequencies.
In recent tests, the team has been able to demonstrate the ability of these sensors to:
• Detect and measure poison gas precursors 60 m away to an accuracy of 10 parts per million using active sensing.
• Identify chemicals related to defense applications, including nuclear weapons, from 600 m away using passive sensing; and
• Identify the spectral fingerprints of trace levels of explosives, including DNT, TNT, PETN, RDX, and the plastics explosives semtex and C-4.

"...So who are these anonymous "experts" that appear on these boards do their drive bys then disappear?"
Kidinsight, capnmike, ontheedge, osscout, tomscheboy, dadoc, stockdoc.... etc (yawn).
I'd say it's about time for Capnmike to "reapppear" and hype some irrelevant links and cap-off (no pun intended) his post with one of the following expressions:
1. WOW!
2. ... and that's why I am even more confident than ever with my investment in CDEx
Hola Kidd, so the billion dollar tech is behind some boxes in da shop? LOL
Right on the money Xeno! Thanks for the tutorials.
If CDEX has a slam dunk defense one would expect the PPS to respond accordingly I would think (and I just did [TM- Coquille]).
Did CEXI gap down this morning? eom
