Huh, I completely missed yesterday's RNA after being away all weekend. Strong progress in sales and growth considering the macro picture and there won't be anything yet from the new strategic partnerships the company's signing. So, good early signs for a pick up next year and beyond but yeah, got to weather costs from streamlining operations which won't start having a positive effect for a while yet.
Exactly :-) Was in agreement there where it was stated Nigel Picket was of that quality but didn't have one. The two appear to have become entangled (no pun intended). Personally I do think all prize giving is a bit silly. Can't see why that would be a big deal.
Innovate UK awards are used to move academic work into the market place as new products. As such they don't have a good record. The main problem it seems to me but I don't know what goes on behind the scenes obviously is that they are a very small amount of money for an early step that then has no follow up. They always seem to complete seccuessfully and then you never hear of the subject of the award again. They're not about recognising someone's achievements.
Several new QDTV ranges at IFA from the likes of Toshiba and Tesla. No word on whether the dots are cadmium free and obviously no word on who the suppliers are. My guess is cadmium based on the prices. Frustrated with the EU if that's the case.
Recipients often say they are a millstone round their neck rather than being beneficial and in many cases for work they did decades before that they have long moved on from. Not always but often. In this case though I was just pointing out that awards neglect all the other good work done in a field. I don't think that will have offended anyone.
Well like all prizes Nobel's are a bit silly. There are many scientists who's work is just as good that go unrecognised so agree on Nigel Picket. I doubt he's in danger of leaving the company he founded and stuck with for 25 years. I've genuinely never seen anything interesting come of an Innovate Loan. By their nature they are very early stage funding and unfortunately don't get backed by larger support packages down the line. The good thing is seeing NANO do research again.
£500k is a drop in the ocean when developing products in the target markets. Every journey starts with a single step though as they say. Are you referring to Novoselov amerloque? He decamped to Singapore years ago thanks to good old Brexit. It was more a collaboration anyway.
Agree. Innovate loans rarely result in anything or at least not until many years later following lots more research. It does show how the field is likely to develop though and that NANO is actively involved after quite a long period where research and devleopment on new products was paused for cost saving.
Okay so I think they're two slightly different things. PTAB found the patents valid but are they valid in the context of providing clear instructions for producing dots so that Samsung didn't have to fill in gaps large enough to constitue their product being a different invention? I'm not unduly worried by this either. I would hope NANO's laywers can walk the jury through a simple step by step explanation showing the application of the patents and their relevance to Samsung's product. There's no guarantee a jury will find in our favour of course but Mintz will be very well rehersed in that kind of presentation.
Presumably the new materials for infra-red sensing will bring some new properties and advantages to the product range. Quantum technology could mean one of many thing to be honest. What NANO already do is quantum technology. Semiconductor transistors are quantum technology. At the other end of the scale is quantum computing of course. I don't think we'll find out more until the resarch is concluded but glad there's work going on beyond the immediate product roadmap.
