Listened to a programme this morning on Radio 4 from Nigeria on the elections

The programme is the Sunday programme and you can listen here.

ran out of space there, last word defects.

As far as the Continuous wavelet transform goes, I always believed it was used in video compression.
Althought the core technology there is the Discrete Cosine Transform.
For other readers, video compression is the technology that gives you streaming video on your smartphone and hundreds of TV channels.

Whilst you have clearly researched this in some depth, I would not disagree that computing energy expenditure is useful, the overall concept of weight loss requires a calorie deficit, thereby implying diet to be far and away the biggest factor. I think we can afford each other our own opinions in a civlized manner.

To take an extreme of going on a water fast with a sedentary lifestyle, after a few days as the body having a limited glycogen resource in the liver the body goes into ketosis or fat burning mode. Many people report how good they feel as it is also detoxifying and the body adjusts to burning fat rather than expecting calorie intake. Weight loss is dramatic.

I have read through some of the links you provided and it all sounds impressive for calculating energy expenditure.
It would be useful to see a real example of this in a product produced by Cloudtag with test results.
You will no doubt be aware that there has been criticism in the media recently by academic studies into the effectiveness of such algorithms....the finger being pointed towards apple and fitbit as ctag has no product.

As I read it you're saying that the core technology is in these algorithms, well fine,I'd really like to see a product and results. Not Unreasonable?

The latest imec chip, which you've already posted.....does ctag own any patents here ?

On the subject of the FFT or Fast Fourier Transform.
This is just a more efficient means of calculating a DTF reducing from n2 ( nsquared) to nlogn the number of calculations. The dataset must be a whole number of 2n ( 2 to the power n ) but you just fill up the data matrix with zeroes to the next highest value of 2n.

What does it bring to the party?
A Fourier transform is derived from the original work of Joseph Fourier who showed that any periodic waveform could be represented by a series of pure sines and cosines, with a formula for calculating the coefficients.
The most mathematically elegant way of representing this is by using complex exponentials rather than actual real sines and cosines.

The Transform or Discrete transform can work on a limited ( or discrete portion of the waveform ) rather than an infinite periodic function.
In short it transforms a time domain waveform ( such as an ECG ) into the frequency domain, or shows the spectral components of such a waveform.
My thoughts were that it could be used to analyze the ECG to give an early warning of any defects, in the same way that these spectral analyses are fitted to aero gas turbines to show a spectral signature which if it changes then it can show de

R_Dunc
I have great respect for Arthur and his technical team.......they are the company.
I don't know the answer, I just don't want more dilution at these levels.

The old seismic has been reprocessed.
We have new seismic.
Both will have been calibrated against the original well logging data which vastly improves predictability.
It isn'r X marks the spot but it is fairly well nailed on.
A good old fashioned anticlinal trap structure that Arthur the oilman has said is massive.
None of us minds waiting.....it's just the cash burn....do they want to dilute us all to oblivion......was that always the plan?????
I dunno, but it's a question you have to consider.

So it seems Kola is supporting Atiku.
I have no clue about the Nigerian politics but Kola does not seem like a man who backs losers.
All IMO

Doesn't say anything that Arthur didn't say in the podcast.
We know a cash call is coming, it's just when and at what price.
Stating worst case scenarios just talks the price down

Been reading through wheelo's find and electioneering being what it is worldwide, maybe there's a possibility NNPC may announce a lot of news JUST before polling.
Not being cynical....just a hopeful realist.

Interesting but I think they're onshore.
Still means it's all go for E&P which is no bad thing.

Probably the same as most but then even a broken clock is right twice a day !

Having preiously traded CTAG for a profit .
The reason I bought in was not the mindless ramping but this presentation by Peter Griffith at CES 2017.
He was criticised as being a " T shirt techy " which I thought unfair as I would prefer the presentation from a knowledgeable man rather than a talking suit.
Ex Nokia and Microsoft so some pedigree and see what you all think again.
I'm sure it would have sold and produced a spike everyone who wanted ( especially me ) could have got out on.
A cynical attitude you may say but all of us are on this site because we trade shares and there's no shame in that.
Peter now works for Kano computing and has erased any mention of ctag in his CV and obviously wishes to distance himself from it.

Of course no stock would be complete without it's own "downfall" video.

Have a pleasant Sunday all.

I would encourage everyone to look again at the sept 2017 podcast.A confident Arthur says drilling before year end.....jack up rigs are cheap now......rapid production faciity with offtake tanker......Plenty of info on the structure....a good explanation of what went wrong in Liberia....I guess it's just easier to look at it again.I honestly think he believed it was going to happen.Most have seen the latest offering and despite Donald Leggatt giving him every chance to be as confident, I found him to be vague and unsure, knowing that the market knows a placing is coming I guess being evasive and insecure is not surprising.A lot of well informed comments yesterday and I would only like to make two observations.Jiving has proposed we try to take some control, whilst this response is quite understandable, my experience of shareholder action groups, taking an adversarial approach is that they just fall apart or cause further damage......that is to say they either have no effect or a negative one.I would like to propose that we nominate a single point of contact with Arthur and possibly the board.A kind of shareholder non-exec.I don't think either that the cost of an occasional bucket class ticket from Heathrow to Calgary would break the bank given the current cash burn.Expenses of course and maybe some small remuneration....taken in shares, to set an example to others would also be a positive move.As shareholders we would then represent a large supportive force with one of our own in place instead of this piecemeal email response.Finally I would like to propose R_Dunc as he has demonstrated he has what I believe to be the right skill set to carry this out in a measured way.Of course he may not want any part of it and I wouldn't blame him.In which case then those who would be prepared to take this on could put their names forward and the board take a vote on it.If Arthur reads this......and I sincerely hope he does, then I would encourage him to consider the power of a supportive shareholder base who feel that they are involved at a board level.....makes sense all round to move forward in a positive way for shareholders and the company.........Just look at James Parsons approach with Sound Energy and see how they have done and all they have are half a dozen dusters and a slight smell of gas in a location requiring hundreds of millions to put the infrastructure in place to get it to market.Just a thought.

Ridiculous Harry......RRL was completely different.
Please go and bother some other board.......try Sound Energy (SOU)......I'm sure you'll find lots of new found friends over there!

Not for sure but Arthur didn't sound too positive in his interview.
It's all a bit sad really, we have the strucutre he talks about ( the underwater anticline ).
Modern seismic and reprocessing old 2d seismic data has shown the hydrocarbon, gas,water interfaces.
We're all dressed up and no place to go....forgive my despodency but I'm not impressed with his performance but who knows ?

We knew the placing was coming but were led to believe SPA would be in place and possibly rig mobilisation and so a placing at a much higher level.

We've been let down badly.......what else is there to say?

MKB:
Arthur often makes grammatical errors which only goes to confirm it's authenticity.

ATB

RKT

Just to confirm MKB's Email from Arthur, I can say that he often begins with " Thank you for your note ".
I am 100% sure this is a real and accurate response.
Incidentally, He should have said " it affects " and not " it effects" ).........RKT ( Grammar Nazi )

So good to see a civilized discussion.
The word Algorithm is thrown around like confetti and yet I'm sure most folk are unsure about what it means.
It is just a means of logically solving a problem, usuaully starting with a flowchart and then being coded into a program.
I'm waiting to see how this applies to a single lead ECG.....when I have an answer I will be more able to comment on it.

Hello 39MA

Hope you enjoyed your rant.
I now think you are somewhat paranoaic as the " careful what you wish for " statement was clearly directed at LOT...... I thought that was obvious.......but whatever.
I remember the long protracted discussions between you and HEX on weight loss vs exercise, and while of course exercise is a factor, the overriding one is diet.......by a country mile.
What I want to know is what does the IMEC chip bring to a single lead ( two wires plus ground reference ) onitor ECG.......nothing more. That is what Ben Haim refers to as " our core technology ".
That's the third time I've stated that but you clearly have chosen to ignore it..
If you don't want to comment on it then that's up to you.
I'm quite prepared to have a polite and hopefully informative discussion ( not an argument ) about the IMEC chip's role in single lead ECG operation in this context and that's it.

Dougal:

Re your post of 13.18

" The differentiator is I expect a positive outcome "

Taking time as the independent variable then we can write that satement as an equation.

dCtag/dt = +

I think you meant difference .....but no matter.
With people like you on board how could it fail????

PS....Not long to get to 22,000 posts now.
