LAJD's newly acquired Rapid Flo TM line of products look similar to Royce Biomedical (RYBO - OTC) Rapid Flo TM line of products. I have included a link to Royce Biomedical's product page : roycebiomedical.com notice the similarity of products; a link to the U.S. governments trademark page : trademarks.uspto.gov (select BOTH databases and type in 'rapid flo'then click on '75-387157 RAPID FLO') notice that Royce Biomedical was issued the trademark for these diagnostic tests; and a news release issued on October, 1997 stating that the their TB Test Kit (which tests for active TB) has received Chinese approval. Incidentally, RYBO's share price has fallen from $2.50 to $0.05 (http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=RYBO&d=t) in the last year. I wonder if there is a connection between LAJD's and RYBO's Rapid FLO TM products?
