HWP had an interest. Don't forget that wireless filters were only one avenue CDTS was pursuing a few years ago. HP was probably more interested in the sensors side of superconductors. They even had their own SC effort. Now it's ALL filters (what's MRI?) and to the best of my limited knowledge HWP and/or Agilent isn't interested. LU and Conductus have been working together for years. LU decided that it's best to let CDTS break (out?) the ice <g>. Pretty shrewd move if you ask me. If HTSC filters pan out LU could just buy the company (or SCON or ....ISCO???) The new era of R&D: let other people do it then buy it if it works. It's cheaper that way. The biggest obstacle? - the NIH syndrome (not Nat Inst. of Health <g>). The academics have pretty much had that beaten out of them the last 10 years. Those pesky buzz-word-usin' MBAs, LOL. Sorry if this makes no sense. I drank too much coffee this morning<g>. JF

Hi John, I think John F. answered your question better than I could have. And is so much better versed on the company. I am mainly a technical trader with an eye on new technology.. I had to respect that price/ volume action yesterday and the price CLOSING near the high.. With that low float. IF they have something, and IT'S a BIG IF to ME. IMO, they could really sail. It was worth a a small Spec bet to me. We will see. c
