I am just saying, Red, that the longs who believe that a medical device commercialization is right around the corner may want to look into 510's, PMA's and what is equivalent to an existing product.

Whatever it turns out to be, that process alone is sticky and time consuming. So, I guess the clock started ticking the day Materion announced the availability of the non-berrylium alloy....

And, as far as the follow-up, say to DePuy and the other companies LQMT previously approached, many people have changed jobs since 10 years ago and the old contacts are gone.

LQMT basically has to start from scratch.

I'd say a year before we get a prototype vetted by an interested party and then a year more for them to test it in their labs.
Two years minimum.

I am not sure Paul Hauck can change that reality. At least, in the medical arena.
