Richard, from what I have been told, there have been "ongoing" demonstrations of their XRL progress. So, I don't think he lied about the demos. Call the company and ask for yourself. The Demo this year is the final finished product that actually can be used. When JMAR demoed the units in prior years, it was not a finished product, but a work in progress. I think XRL has already borne fruit. The Brightlight for example and future products that spawn from it. This may explain why JMAR will succeed in XRL: JMAR is attempting to fill this need by developing a product which utilizes X-rays as a source of light. The advantage of X-ray as a light source is that it's smaller wavelength will permit circuits as small as one-thousandth of a micron, thus removing the current physical barriers to the size of circuit features. While there are a number of companies currently working to produce X-ray lithography sources, most of these utilize a "synchrotron" to produce the necessary X-rays. This process is highly expensive ($25 million or more), cumbersome, and emits dangerous levels of radiation. JMAR's X-ray source, known as Britelight, will be much smaller and more cost effective, and will not emit hazardous radiation. --Bilberry
