Zeev,

Knowing your interest in patents I was wondering if you knew
what company(s) might be working on wind-up power applications.
I just saw a show on TV that showed a wind-up powered flashlight,
radio, mini-generator driving a laptop computer,and spoke of some military applications. Just like the old wind-up toys but using
some modern technology with mini-solar panel and variable disburstment
of energy as needed.
The flashlight gave 7 minutes of light with 5 seconds of winding.
This seems like a great idea in any field application as well as the
developers idea of wind-up radios for the poor in Africa.

On the SOX, I have mixed opinions for the next several days, with some of the semis themselves flat to up, and some of the equipment companies flat to down. I agree that these stocks need to rest.
