Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
On IQE b.b. I think is referring to ARM chip for Apple iPhone, has I am not sure what it means exactly but mentions several times optical, I wonder if some of the clever brains knows if it's anything related to SEE? Thanks.

TMF8801 Time-of-Flight Sensor
ams' direct time-of-flight sensor system in a single modular package offers highly accurate depth accuracy detection
Image of ams TMF8801 Time-of-Flight SensorThe ams TMF8801 is a true direct time-of-flight (ToF) sensor system in a single modular package. It offers highly accurate depth accuracy detection through a sub-nanosecond light pulse and an anti-aliasing stopwatch method to measure round-trip time of pulse. It also provides single-zone detection of an object irrespective of the color, reflectivity, or texture of the object. The single module with VCSEL emitter offers high dynamic range and detection sensing measurements from 2 cm to 250 cm distances. The device utilizes highly sensitive SPAD detection with fast compact time-to-digital converters to make highly accurate distance measurements within ±5% and is capable of operation in either dark environments or the presence of sunlight.
A built-in histogram is featured to detect cover glass and reports object distances operating with the highest SNR while compensating for dirt and smudge contaminants on a product’s cover glass to produce artifact-free measurement. The histogram delivers dynamic cover glass calibration and crosstalk compensation and background light noise is minimized through on-chip sunlight rejection filters. Data output is through a 1.8 V I²C fast-mode communications interface and an integrated microcontroller is featured with all algorithms included on-chip with no need for external optics.

I regularly drive along the Heathrow flightpath and noticed a definite increase of BA flights in and out, don't forget leisure travel is very big including business class because of better distancing.
I am sure I am not on my own in trusting safety on BA and feeling as Ido, I already have 4 bookings for next year starting in the spring (one long haul) as I had enough of staying put and hopefully the vaccine and other measures will be in place by then. Markets always look to the future!
Once again, hats off to some of the researchers on this board (the best I have come across by far) almost forensics.

Yes, this has been a very testing time for everyone invested in SEE, and while I am quite sceptical of all this latest mental health issues, I'm beginning to understand that possibility.
By the way, where is Sebs? Let's hang in there, not much longer now!

The world's first coronavirus passport is being launched on Wednesday to enable people to travel without having to quarantine. Passengers using two of the world's biggest airlines - United Airlines and Cathay Pacific - and travelling through London Heathrow will be the first to test the technology, which is backed by the US government. The volunteer passengers will upload their coronavirus test results from a validated laboratory onto a digital health passport up to 72 hours before departure. - Daily Telegraph
Yes Meldrew, a bitter-sweet pill. Bitter because they don't deserve it, sweet because it gives them a target to deliver. I am not leaving after all this waiting and prefer to wait a bit longer to see this amazing technology coming to fruition.
