Much better revenue stream at ANI per SBIR contracts now.
Haven't had that much of a cash flow in about 8 years--look for the associated website graph. No link. Think of the money saved by not issuing PR statements as practiced by the Mark Eller business model. Much easier filing and record keeping requirements going forward by being semi-private too now.
The following has been listed for a while now:
Metallic Zirconium Internal Coating of Cladding Tube
$1,150,000.00

"..In Phase II we will demonstrate a coating that will provide a diffusion barrier to FCCI. The goal will not be to block 100% of the lanthanide diffusion, but to demonstrate at significantly lower diffusion with the barrier as opposed diffusion with no barrier present at 600°C tested for 4-6 weeks in a diffusion couple experiment. Molten sodium and lead corrosion studies will also be conducted. This technology will be used in next generation nuclear reactors. The public will benefit from increased life of the fuel assembly and greater up-time and efficiency of the power reactor,.."
Plus a couple of minor grants also. More viable than the "Magic" business as an ongoing entity in my opinion. Keeping the doors open in Texas was always the plan.
I have nostalgic thoughts about Zvi saying "hallelujah" during online live business discussions.

"Significant effort has been expended into the advancement of flexible, additively manufactured (AM) electronic systems. Less well studied are the effects of additively manufactured RF elements such as antennas, waveguides, and their required interconnects. Primarily, with respect to AM RF elements there is insufficient engineering data to rationally choose the ink materials and substrates and corresponding AM production process to predict the resulting RF and thermal system performance. There is an unmet need for the characterization of the RF performance of additively manufactured antennas and wave guides using additively produced conductors on various flexible substrate types and an unmet need for known-good antenna using only non-destructive characterization. ...."

My former employer would not allow a fork lift to be used
with a device like that. Hydraulic system can fail, or mechanically
fail, or damaged in any form while lifting high can lead to a spectacular
crash. I did that once. And a driver was required to make eye

and wear a seat belt. I don't see one. Need high visibility safety vests also.

Topic Title: Printed Indium Ink For High-Density Chip Interconnects
Single line description on a spread sheet maybe as follows:
3D printable Indium Ink that will be robust and not cause distortion etc...
No award date or completion date indicated that I see.
And the local Texas congressman including others mentioning awards in their districts has a line or two about this company in the press release that links to the awards page.
There is so much to still be determined yet, that most smart fellows
would be reluctant to wade the water with a thought.
No claim to smartness ever I do confess. However, the goal always was to keep the doors open in Austin.
The structure looks to be a way to cost save by creating an independant private entity that no longer has the onerous reporting requirements of a public company in my opinion. Also gives control to any potential hiring prospects to the distant research branch and keeps the principle employees interested for a while longer. If there are some trade secrets simmering under the financial restraints of the current situation, the patents fillings will be the tell as the new owners could have major dibbs on those too.
Whatever this deal is needs further clarification in my estimate.
The old saw about keeping manufacturing separate from the research branch comes to mind. My bird binoculars will be on watch at the Austin parking lot in the near future. Time will tell, or so I've been told. Maybe Zvi Yaniv will walk into the doors again so as to add another page to his autobiography. Who knows?
As one time an interested investor could read a science journal magazine
and guess the direction of Mr. Zvi's research projects per Applied Nanotech.
The goal was always to keep the doors open in Texas, etc...
I've always thought that Mr. Fink is more pragmatically all around capable and
capable of a springing a surprise with one particular patent that I won't mention.
After what the company went through with Canon, it was an admirable piece of
patent filing in my opinion. Likened to firing a shot across the bow so to speak.
I don't follow nearly as much as previously on technology topics. But just looking
at the contract research SBIR topics, there is either the typical dead end stuff or
something potentially is simmering under the surface--forgive my hype--that requires
more that typical patent filing stuff--trade secrets?. At least the players will have a direct interest
in all new filings. Wait and see. I could be wrong.
Yes. I sent Mr. Fink a research topic link once this year.

I see this company after spending amounts to hire people to ramp up
production is adjusting to lower market demand. And promissory notes
are being issued to proverbially kick the can down the road again.
Talking about scrapping the bottom of the barrel--rinse, wash, repeat.
Things are beginning to converge in ways I don't understand and I would
rather watch glaciers melt than consider my investments here.
Maybe I should consider taking my bird binoculars to a location near the
Michigan facility to count the vehicles in the parking lot for a personal assessment.
Or at least stand near that nearby charging station with a squeegee and a
card board sign--inscribed "Did nanotech, need help".
Otherwise I am amazed by Tom Berman's persistence. There may be a limit
though in my time line estimation. Keeps pumping money into this saga for now.

A lot of shuffling is going on per the recent filings. Comments?
There must be some necessity here that I am missing.
Talk about stratified layers and tiers.
The cat is bouncing in the opposite direction now.
Am I interested enough to use my trading viewer yet?
No. Someone must have released a pressure value

Well maybe the labels being printed with those French language

"Rules are rules" -- The President's Analyst (1967)
"On September 28, 2021, new amendments adopted by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency. These amendments restrict the ability of market makers to publish quotations for those companies that have not made required current financial and company information available to regulators and investors.
Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, we will only accept orders to liquidate positions (i.e. no new buy orders) starting August 13, 2021. After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited.

The SEC problem in my mind does not stand out so much.
Some European companies have those tiered stock categories.
In this company board members are the only ones who can acquire
per these existing limitations any voting right stock.
It is as if the insiders can trade amongst themselves

`The company has restored voting right stock acquisition to insiders
by simply awarding stock for board membership without purchase--ordinary stockholders can only sell and not acquire any.

In India the covid is associated with a serious fungal infection.
One Swiss company that I use to work for for had a
treatment for toe fungal infections--an expensive solution.
There is a market for treatment and/or prevention.
If the potency of the tested "deer urine odor" remover is so good, they
should consider promoting that for skunk smell problems.
It looks to me they're hiring--4 jobs--but no one wants to work

The Covid-19 virus can survive for up to 28 days on paper banknotes, stainless steel and glass surfaces like mobile phone screens, according to new research.
Scientists have expressed a note of caution about the study, which was carried out in strictly controlled laboratory conditions including total darkness – given direct sunlight can rapidly inactivate the virus.
The study was published in the journal Virology by researchers from

Nasal solution may stop spread of COVID-19, study finds
ByBrian P. Dunleavy
Sept. 17 (UPI) -- A commercially available nasal antiseptic solution "inactivates" COVID-19 just 15 seconds after the coronavirus is exposed to it, effectively preventing the infection from developing, according to a study published Thursday by JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
By inactivating the virus, the antiseptic nasal rinse -- a povidone-iodine solution administered in the nostril -- also would help prevent those infected from spreading it to others, the researchers said.
