MKTE, what do you think of this statement from CPI's web site? <<CPI has electrochemical, mechanical, electronic, and system engineers who have over 60 years of combined experience in lithium and lithium-ion battery technologies, and who were responsible for the world's first large scale commercial introduction of LiPBs in November of 1998 (based on the Bellcore /Telcordia plastic lithium-ion technology).>> Seems a bit disingenuous to me to be talking about "large-scale commrcial introduction...using Bellcore/Telcordia technology" in 1998, when in 2002, there STILL does not appear to be any large-scale production of batteries using Bellcore/Telcordia technology, given the miniscule royalties being received by the owner of that technology.

Wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to the meaning of the new "breakthru" in Cathode material reported by the MIT group of Dr. Chiang using doping of the iron phosphate to achieve better conductivity. It is reported everywhere as a "breakthrough". Is this really significantly different from what VLNC or Hydro-Quebec are doing? Will this new cathode material make the Valence Nasicon Iron patents obsolete? I realize that any potential commercialization of this research is still several years away. Still, would companies such as Samsung who were potential Valence licensees hold back in light of this new research? Thanks for any insights in this matter. ...........Jacques
