This share should be for the very brave or the very patient, but I feel this could be the turning point and have just bought in at 7p. I would normally wait until the recovery was more evident in the results, but feel this product is just too hot not to succeed!

Inditherm received a prestigious award for its patient warming systems used during surgery. The award also recognised the environmental sustainability of Inditherm technology in this application. It is estimated that a change from traditional forced air warming to Inditherm patented carbon polymer technology will save over 1,000 kWh of electricity per year for every operating room. The annual reduction in clinical waste generated is further estimated to be in excess of 50kg per operating room. Even if only half of the NHS adopted Inditherm for patient warming then the saving would be more than 1,500 MWh of energy and 100 tonnes of clinical waste. www.inditherm.com The pressure on budgets in the NHS and many overseas healthcare systems, combined with our marketing of the cost savings our technology offers, is driving up the interest in our products, particularly in the operating room sector. We believe that take-up will increase in the year ahead, although it is difficult to know how fast the decision-making process will progress. Our approach in the Industrial markets has yielded improved order intake at the end of 2009. Work we are doing with key customers in our core target sectors should lead to further progress in 2010 and we are already in discussions about a number of significant projects. Nick Bettles Chief Executive 25 March 2010

Improved performance in challenging conditions. Mark Abrahams, Chairman stated The business environment was more challenging than expected in 2009; however we have seen improvements in order intake over recent months. In the last three months order intake has been twice the level of the comparable period in the previous year and cash consumption has halved. If this continues we believe that we can reach break-even with our own resources in the foreseeable future. https://www.halifaxmarketwatch.co.uk/security.cgi?csi=48217&action=news&story_id=3357919&rns=1

Ceres Power’s interim loss grew to £5.9m from £3.3m a year earlier as revenue slumped 39%, blamed on the £2m Alpha milestone completion payment from British Gas last June being recognised as revenue when earned, based on costs incurred over the Beta and Gamma phases. Brian Count, chairman of the UK alternative energy company, said he was pleased to report significant progress during the period, in which it secured its first international mains gas CHP commercial programme, with Bord Gáis for the Irish market. Will keep my eye on this and buy on lows. GLA

This investment trust invests in Asian stock markets, with 30% currently in Japan, 10% Australia, 9% Hongkong, 9% Singapore and 8% China. Low gearing and NAV 225p. Strong performance so far this year, with more to come, IMO, as this geographic region is less troubled by the downturn and Japan reported 45% increase in its exports. The discount to NAV will narrow as more people buy into this sound prospect. Always DYOR http://www.witanpacific.com/sites/default/files/literature/Pacific_Jan2010.pdf

If you wait till you have full info. then the share price will have risen to reflect true value. TBO they should be making more money than they have, but they are growing the co. organically and investing in R&D, etc. to support future growth.

Yes, in since Dec. 08, took some profits and now topping up big time. All the lights are green for this share, cash rich, profit making, leaders in their field and large barriers to entry, expanding greentech area that is commercially viable without subsidy, hell whats holding this share back?

I also expect news of the new chief financial officer, due this month. will be well recieved. There is still time to get on board before this takes off!

Glad I topped up today, thanks Halifax, to bring my avg. to 7.78p. There are many markets for transense, incl. power steering and auto gear box sensors, that should start to bring in big revenues - starting this year. TRT products offer better reliability, better accuracy, less parts and better smoother auto gearbox changes. This all equates to reliable, lighter, greener, fuel saving and through life cost saving with low risk state of the art technology. Billions of tyres will also need these sensors, as they become mandatory, in 2012. GLA.

More good news announced for households to buy solar panels or other technology to generate electricity, spreading the upfront cost over a number of years. Under the Pay as You Save scheme, loans will be tied to a particular house, rather than an individual, and stretched out over a long period of time so that the reduction in energy bills outweighs the size of the loan repayments. All homes will have smart meters by the end of the decade. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/money/property_and_mortgages/article7046514.ece This seems a promising scheme that could get broad support IMHO.

Interesting, but possibly flawed piece on fuel cells.....“When we look at Bloom Energy we are looking at the future of business, at the future of the economy, at the future of America,” gushed Michael Bloomberg. "The system being sold by Bloom today weighs about 10 tonnes and costs $800,000. For the future, the company envisions $3,000 loaf-sized boxes that could power individual homes and change the way the world receives its power." http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article7043823.ece Ceres Power is on track to launch a fully funded, tested and working system in 2011, that others can only dream about, IMHO, DYOR

News on free chargeing for electric cars. Solar powered charging points I think? The Department for Transport will announce today that London, Milton Keynes and the North East will receive £8 million for the installation of 11,000 charging points by the end of 2013, in car parks at leisure centres, railway stations, supermarkets and elsewhere. Electric-car drivers will also receive incentives such as free electricity and parking until 2013 in Milton Keynes, and exemption from the London congestion charge. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7040228.ece

This is just one application for this technology, the potential is huge. Transense estimates the potential tyre RFID market to be in the region of 1.2 billion units per annum and claims it has the first commercially available, independent (non-OEM) RFID tyre tag available to Original Equipment Manufacturers, fleets and service providers. The tag has undergone a rigorous and extensive testing process during the past 18 months, in both truck and car tyres, and has proven to be exceptionally robust, meeting all quality expectations. CEO Graham Storey commented: “This agreement adds another complementary technology to our existing product portfolio, allowing us to meet the developing demands of our existing customers and the wider automotive asset management market.” Transense believes there are compelling reasons for a tyre manufacturer or fleet owner to fit an RFID tag into their tyres; recent price increases mean that tyres now represent their second highest maintenance cost behind fuel, as a consequence managing tyre assets is enormously important in maintaining profitability. RFID allows for accurate, real-time management of tyre assets and full tyre tracking to prevent counterfeiting and tyre theft. Mr Yang, general manager of Qingdao Mesnac, said: “Our relationship with the Transense Group has developed rapidly over the past year. This agreement follows on closely from the Memorandum of Understanding signed last September, and we envisage a long and mutually beneficial partnership developing, with further product design and development under discussion.” http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/13231/transense-technologies-signs-global-distribution-deal-for-identification-tag-products-13231.html

Good Rns. The Mesnac agreement shows that the market is now ready to move into mass production with this product, IMHO. and builds on Transense Technology’s catalogue of licensees and partners including, Honeywell, Melexis, Michelin, Sengenuity, Stack, Tai-Saw, Texas Instruments, SCHOTT, McLaren Electronic Systems and Carbon Motors. Qingdao Mesnac Co. Ltd. is a tyre technology company based in Quingdao, China. Mesnac have developed a range of tyre and industrial production processes, control and testing systems and supporting software suitable for off Road vehicles, trucks and passenger cars. Let the good times roll. I should top up at this price -funds and Halifax dealing system allowing!!!

Great story about how Accsys can cash in on Accoya. I think this has great potential. As soon as they turn a profit this share will take off big time. "The process Accsys uses.... relies on high pressures and high temperatures to inject chemicals into the wood to affect the transformation. What comes out the other end is a cheap soft wood that can be easily cultivated and which has all the attributes of a hardwood. One of the prime qualities is the stability of the wood (trade name Accoya), which means it doesn't shrink or expand. This, in turn, means it can be used for doors and window frames - which are exposed to the elements - or decking, where even specially pressure treated timber succumbs to rot and damp. While Accsys' Accoya wood represents a major breakthrough for the building trade, it is also good for the environment because it should present a ready alternative to the rare and difficult-to-harvest hardwoods found in remote and ecologically sensitive parts of the world. Accsys' future cashflow and profits are built around a licensing model. But where before Clegg's accession, the group was reliant on the distant promise of signing up licence holders, the new boss has found a ready way of generating money almost immediately. The €17m being injected into the business will be used to ramp up production at the company's factory in Arnhem in the Netherlands. The company is fairly confident it can generate a profit from this one plant. But sales of Accoya products serves a second, vital purpose - as a showcase for its expertise." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1248894/Accsys-Technologies-cash-conker-scheme.html Please DYOR and see for yourself the true potential in this share.

Altium Securities, repeating its 'buy' rating, notes the Essex BSF programme is one of the largest in the country, the first phase of which is estimated at 150 million pounds overall and around 13 million pounds for ICT. 'The revenue potential for RM over the course of the multiple phases of the contract could be worth in excess of 100 million pounds,' says the broker in a note. '2010 is the year that RM expects profits from BSF to exceed bid costs for the first time; while today's win is unlikely to generate revenues this year, it should materially enhance the contribution from BSF in the years to come,' it says. Reuters Messaging rm://david.brett.reuters.com@reuters.net

Nice rise on more contract wins: Essex County Council has awarded RM the contract to provide ICT services for its Building Schools for the Future programme. The first four schools should be open by January 2012. This follows last week's agreement of contractual terms with the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA) for a four-year framework agreement to provide outsourced on-screen marking services
