Of course you caught this stock at .36 cents!! And yes, I realize that I'm in deep sh*t, and yes, I caught this at the top, and yes, I would like to see it go up and up and up (maybe it will). I'm not angry about losing money - I may even make some, I'm angry at the day traders/hypsters who got me like I was some German tourist playing three card monte at the Port Authority. And I'm saying that I've been diligent about giving back what is due, which is merely the truth, or what I have of it, based on research, not guesses and not self reported business wires. And yes, I talked to Myles (its with a Y) and he sounds like a nice guy!! So please ask him what CTRL Systems is ... If he doesn't know, tell him he should. ========================================= The ULTRAPHONIC detector is a versatile system that "hears" ultrasonic noises in a very narrow frequency band and is able to discriminate the specific information to detect failures of gears and bearings, hydraulic, pneumatic, and pressure vessel leaks, vacuum faults, and corona discharge in electrical systems. This product was developed by CTRL Systems Inc. in cooperation with the U.S. Military. Research and developed took more than five years to create a light-weight, hand-held, non-destructive, diagnostic tool. Extending its use and commercializing it for industrial applications has helped both maintenance and quality-control managers improve up-time and cut costs. The ULTRAPHONIC is claimed to have exceptional sensitivity, clarity, and discrimination, making it possible to "hear" the signal in otherwise noisy environments and diagnose the condition of gears and bearings inside a housing just by touching the instrument's tip to the outside of the housing. In applications that include hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders or relief valves, the device can detect whether oil or air is bypassing internally. Any abnormalities caused by malfunctioning or faulty components can be easily identified and cavitation is easily detected. In pressurized systems, such as compressed air, gas, or steam tubes, the detector can identify leaks from a distance of 40 to 50 feet, and it can help trace the leak back to an area 1/4" diameter from its source. Vacuum systems can also benefit with quick and accurate identification of a leak without the need to evacuate and pressurize the system. Non-pressurized systems such as crew compartments or vehicle cabs that are pressurized with compressed air (or similar), where leak detection is difficult, damaging or prohibitively expensive, also benefit. The standard unit includes a transmitter that "pressurizes" an area with ultrasound. To find a leak, the user need only listen with the receiver for the characteristic ultrasound escaping from the vessel. It will detect and locate the source of arcing, including high-voltage corona discharge to ground. On electric motors, arcing at the armature to fields and commutator to brushes creates noise that can be heard and used to diagnose the conditions present The ULTRAPHONIC Detector operates on 9-volt batteries. It needs no adjustment, calibration, or maintenance. The instrument is lightweight, hand-portable, and includes receiver, transmitter, headset, plastic and aluminum extension probes, carrying case, and instructional cassette. -- NDT UPDATE May, 1997-- ================================================== I'll tell you what. I'll call CTRL Systems tomorrow and see what they tell me, and you call Myles and we'll compare notes, okay? Now I go watch Baba Waba interview Momica. Good night!!
