PART III:
Appended are some references.
The four main areas that the company has unique technologies in and
which it is developing licencing agreements for with industry leaders are as follows:
Heteroepitaxy, a process for aligning diamond seed crystals on a
substrate using electroststic forces, used for growing diamond films.
The company has recieved a Science and Technology Transfer Research
project from the US Naval Research Laboratory to develop a manufacturing process based on photo chemical processes.
Diffusing Boron into diamonds produces the rare blue diamond which
is the hardest of all diamonds and which has commercial applications in the cutting tool industry. The Boron doped diamond is also a conductor of electricity being the p-type and rendering the diamond a semi-conducter.
Another technology that RDT is working on, in cooperation with
Teledyne is nanophase(very small) diamond powder composites. The company has an agreement with a production centre in Kiev, Russia, for a supply of this powder that was produced for the Russian Military. The team is working on a process to form a solid composite from this material that will compete in the large ceramic tool market.
The company strategy is to form partnerships with industry leaders
in the above areas that have existing marketing networks to bring the
technologies to market. Apart from the aforementioned companies, RDT has developed relationships with Deautche Aerospace, and British Nuclear Fuel.
The one market that will not be licenced by RDT is the specialized
doped crystal market that is made up of research laboratories that require materials with a known impurity density. This could be a very lucrative business by itself.
That's all for now. There will be a follow up post on two more
technologies that the company has patents on. I will have to post again tomorrow on the Canadian side, which is closed tomorrow, and will have two possible developing flags that are forming, one up and one US issue down.

"When the response of dielectric materials was extended to numerous nonlinearities known before with all kind of applications in
opto-electronics and communication, a much stranger physics appeared at the very high intensities where all materials are vaporized and ionized, and the response of the generated plasmas exceeded all of the previously known curiosities."

We are completely independent, AT THIS TIME we do not accept money from the companies written about, any EXCEPTIONS to this should they occurr will made ABUNDANTLY CLEAR to the readers. AT THIS TIME we do not take any stock under advisement from anyone, this iS to protect the readers. There will be no mining stocks. The lists that formed the basis for the News Packet were
sent to me totally unsolicited, I have removed all people who have asked to be removed diligently. The list that forms the basis for the News Packet is ABSOLUTELY PRIVATE, it will not be given out to any other person. When a stock is written up as having some technical significance, we MAY BE WRONG in our opinion. The stock may do the OPPOSITE of what might be expected. I may have a POSITION in any stock mentioned, which I will divulge at the time of writing. If so,I may SELL at any time.

Be very careful of, or don't place premarket, market buy or sell orders. Be careful about placing market orders when the market is open. Always LIMIT YOUR LOSSES, LIMIT YOUR LOSSES, LIMIT YOUR LOSSES with a mental stop loss. NEVER change your mind on your stop loss. Do not play this game with money that you CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE, that will lead to stress. If you miss a stock do not chase it there are plenty more opportunities coming up. All the best Ian Fletcher
