Excellent post Flatcat, I include in submission a reply to Ripada's query "At this point how is that not in the best interest of the company and its shareholders? Did I misinterpret that?"
Evidence by the JBT industrial-strength undertaking, Bourque Industries has finally attained recognition as a supplier of an advanced alloy to give companies needing such in their product line a substantial competitive edge.
I totally agree that lacking John Bourque's direct involvement in current and future advances in the Kryron process, this company has enough today to acquire sales with companies that "doesn't require so much hand holding."
All of the "secret sauce" can be made in-house.
The secret of the "secret sauce" is not a catalysis that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction, and is unchanged at the end of the reaction, but one that allows within the second not-so-secret steps (described in the patents) how to "layer" the forging such that the integrity of the final resulting alloy has an uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes to deliver the enhanced properties of the Kryronization process of heat dissipation, electrical conductivity, hardness and resistance to corrosion.
The secret of the "secret sauce" are ingredients that when varied allow for different stable carbon nanotube dispersions, thusly allowing for variances in the resulting alloy, as was the goal for JBT's attempt for John Bourque's consulting for optimization of the alloy to increase desirable parameters for their LED lighting heat sink.
Execution of this can take place in-house, and perhaps should only be done so and not have the secret ingredients of the "secret sauce" be located in a place like China where possible thief is highly possible.
The secret ingredients of the "secret sauce" are completely destroyed, absent from the conclusion of the Kryronization process.
My opinion is that the view taken by present company management that "all is good" to commercialize its Kryron products, close on potential orders, and book sales and create cash flow, whether or not continuing day to day services from the Company's inventor are interrupted is not in the best interest to protect shareholder because it simply limits adaptations of Kryron alloys for industrial usages based on a current static range of properties developed by John Bourque to date.
The "hand holding" requirment is where future sales are made, those areas where very specific requirments of how the Kryron alloy must deliver, must be met, and this requires a "qualified person" not John Bourque
be admitted to the services of Bourque Industries, and I agree with your: ... the University of Arizona where ample "qualified" persons exist.
My "not in the best interest of the company and its shareholders" is a reference that the company management in the "restructuring and expansion" news release states that "continuing day to day services from the Company's inventor" is not a high priority item to address, but only to think short term "in moving forward quickly."
For sure the pps of BORK needs "moving forward quickly" to stablize it and put it on an upwards track, but interested companies viewing this news release obtains the signal that unless our available Kryron alloy is an 'exact" match for your product line, too bad.
Potential customers, sales, require assurance that a "qualified person" is available, not just sales and marketing personnel.
