Maybe the Dr is off to see the fifth largest battery maker in China..
Morris might be a link to BYD, Neah, Tekion as there is a Chinese patent now.

BYD and Motorola have a relationship.... wonder if that's were the money for the battery lab came from?
The might be the fifth largest battery maker in China....

BYD is Buffet money...

Motorola Links again

Companies face two immediate hurdles: money and time. Without millions of dollars and several years to create sample batteries and test new products, businesses can flounder, unable to showcase products to investors or customers.

The missing link could be Polaris Battery Labs, Morris' new Beaverton-based manufacturing and testing lab that might even the playing field for U.S. battery companies.

The battery industry is "completely dominated by Asian companies, yet all of the inventions come out of the U.S.," said Morris, 57, who has acted as a consultant for battery startups since 2003.

Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.

Morris said his for-hire lab is rare in the U.S., and demand is strong. Nearly 40 potential customers, mostly American, have expressed interest in working with Polaris once its lab opens in July, Morris said.

An anonymous investor based in Asia, who Morris said "owns the No. 5 battery-tech company in the world," paid $850,000 of Polaris' startup costs. Polaris also won a $50,000 grant from electric-vehicle industry group Drive Oregon, and the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute awarded $50,000 to Polaris, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology.

2002: Became the first Li-ion battery supplier to Nokia.

May, 2002: Received QS-9000 certification.

July, 2002: Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Main Board (Stock Code: 1211.HK) with the highest issue price among the 54 H-share stocks in Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Sep, 2002: BYD Shanghai Plant set up and Shanghai BYD Co., Ltd. founded.

Sep, 2002: BYD Lithium Battery Co., Ltd. received "Motorola Excellent Supplier Award".

Neah has the Tekion patents, wonder who has the Motorola patents?

From 2011 Apple seems to have a patent for the fuel cell and Neah seems to be ahead of their schedule.. so may Neah is on schedule with their fuel cell development... maybe everyone involved think the same way...wonder who owns the motorola patents now...?

This eliminates the need for a bulky and heavy battery within the fuel cell system, which can significantly reduce the size, weight and cost of the fuel cell system,” reads one of the filings. “This fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack which converts fuel into electrical power. It also includes a controller which controls operation of the fuel cell system.”

Imagine futuristic laptops even thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air, capable of running for several days or even weeks without recharging–Apple certainly is, as a couple U.S. patents published yesterday reveal.
Quote:

Motorola has made a strategic investment in North American micro fuel cell developer Tekion with a view to the inevitable rise of the fuel cell as a power source for mobile products. Tekion is driven by the mission to take mobile devices "off the grid". By integrating advanced battery technology with micro fuel cell technology, Tekion is creating a new "personal power source", known as the Formira Power Pack, that will fit inside mobile products and enable consumers to stay connected for as long as needed. Tekion's technology provides a competitive advantage for portable electronic products in the power range of milliwatts to 50 watts and energy range of 10 to 100 watt-hours. Several products and markets fall within these power and energy levels including: industrial handheld computers, satellite communication devices, notebook PCs, and other mobile products.
