LThold; Is this one of the technologies that you were able to review with the management? I understand that you have not mentioned any technologies, only feelings that you have, but I was just checking. Torvec has a spool valve system that is perceived (by me) to be capable of handling digital commands, so I was wondering what the status is of that product development. Could you check with them on your next visit to the plant?
