Wow this quote at the end of your post certainly appears relevant to your inability to get over being wrong on Lumera when I told you that you were wrong. This is your quote not mine.

People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right—especially if events prove you right while proving them wrong.

People will forgive you for being wrong (Punkin), but they (Punkin) will never forgive you for being right (X)—especially if events prove you (x) right while proving them (Punkin) wrong. Just ask th6565


The difference is that Lumera's Polymer was flawed, Period. The freaked spooked the entire industry, well, Data, Data, Data is finally available to them. Follow me now.


Here is the Punkin history. Only for newbies because those posting on this board understand his history.

The true story of the origins of the Great Punkin trying to flip the script, he will somehow enjoy me writing about him because I kind of live in his head.

Larry Dalton U of D Professor was well respected despite trouble going as far back as 1967, anyhow, he headed up the NSF funding and directed the money that he oversaw to his interests in a polymer that simply did not work. Way back when I was told that by the founders at Lightwave Logic that money that they were hoping for was directed 100% to Dalton (I think it was NSF money he did not tell me the origins of that money) but it was widely known that the polymer receiving the funding was flawed and Lightwaves was not. It was an obvious attempt to squash competition. Somehow Lightwave managed to survive.

OK so when I saw this going on I went to the Yahoo Lumera board and warned the Lumera investors that their polymer was flawed, some investors like TH looked at the facts, took my advice and came to Lightwave, last I heard he was up 8 figures here. Punkin who was on the Yahoo board did not listen and flooded the LWLG with messages that didn’t make any sense apparently thinking that somehow, that I could magically cause flaws in Lumeras polymer and if it wasn’t for me posting the modulators that Lumera sold to the industry would function. Yahoo changed the posting rules so that links could not be posted so folks on the Yahoo board moved here, Lumera went Bankrupt, hush money was donated,,,, you will see I put a link to the complete story below. That is why you see Punks name only being 8 years old, he created a new ID. Oh yes and Pitcook blames me also for “ruining the Yahoo board”. I just scratch my head. As for DOA I have no clue what he thinks I did, I only met him twice and Z gave a shirt headed for me to him, LOL. Oh hey check it out Lebby finally gave me a shirt at this year's SHM, only took a few decades.

So anyway, after living through that Pumpkin has become a self-appointed EO Polymer expert. I just scratch my head, I told him of the problem when the stock was at $8.00, he didn’t listen and the industry rejected that flawed technology shortly after the stock went down then they did an 8 for 1 reverse split and he thinks that if he posts negatively here it will make everything right, he is just projecting what he lived through there on this board. In essence he is carrying Larry Daltons damage to the origins of this company forward.

We are far and away past that oh and ironically thanks to us the investors at Lightwave the company has $30 million (almost the same amount that they got beat out of by LD) in the bank and no debt. Labs combined and expanded and still with no debt, Kind of cool, we did it! Coincidence?

And yet some Blame Lebby for the industries slow adoption of Polymers. Think about that for a moment as you read the story in the link below.


OK here is quick summary.

In Larry Dalton founded Lumera as a subsidiary of Microvision, Inc. in 2000

Back in 2006 Lumera jumped from to $1.58 on Friday, Oct. 13 to $7.56 on Oct. 24.

In 2007 they generated their first revenue, but the product was junk not stable and honestly it didn’t work. Remember that back then there was no test equipment available. As info Lightwave has worked with test equipment manufactures to develop today's test equipment, when I was touring the lab a few years ago I picked up the tester and turned it over serial number was 2.

Aug 15, 2007 — Aug 15 (Reuters) - Lumera Corp. LMRA.O said Chief Executive Thomas Mino resigned.
In this timeframe the company declared bankruptcy

March 27,2008 proposed merger Lumera Corporation (“Lumera”) @ GigOptix LLC, GigOptix, Inc.,

December 9, 2008 after the merger the price was $1.72, as adjusted to reflect a 1 for 8 reverse stock split.

A few years ago Lightwave bought Lumera’s (GigOptix) IP of particular interest was the device technology that was invented at U of W some of which was good, other patents help provide a roadblock.

Dalton Story he is referred to as “LD” throughout the story
2003-04 Part of the large investment in LD and the UW was $36million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a Science and Technology Center (STC) that was active from2002 to 2013 and was led by LD during its first five years.55In 2003, BK received a $40,000 subcontract from this center. On first examining some of LD’s materials, it was Kahr B. and Hollingsworth MD.2019.Journal of Scientific Practice and Integrity. 1(1).DOI: 10.35122/jospi.2019.740579©2019 by the author(s).

(Polarizing sunglasses work because they are responsive to polarized light reflected from horizontal surfaces such as wet roadways and bodies of water.) Linear dichroism was a prerequisite for the ordering of dyes that was presumed to be necessary for the materials to act as efficient light switches.61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68In 2004, LD’s team had never made measurements of linear dichroism, a phenomenon that was first observed in thin films of dyes in the middle of the 19thcentury.69,70BKbegan to make urgent requests to focus the attention of the leading investigators in the center on the question of dye orientation. These requests were ignored. BK appealed to Kwiram, a former Vice Provost for Research with high statureat the UW. Kwiram had become the executive director of LD’s NSF center. In 2004, BK told Kwiram, among many others, that the center’s science was wrong at its heart and that nobody would act.
BK was obliged to write a report for the NSF at the end of the 2003-4 fiscal year.75The report said what should have been obvious to a scientist in possession of any of LD’s samples and a computer monitor (the old sunglasses polaroid trick).
