2024.05.16 05:03 TheSaltLine NDA Advice Needed
I am meeting with a business owner that has a patent and technology I am considering licensing. I have a different business model in mind for his patent and tech than what his current business model is focused on.
Is there a bilateral NDA template that would allow me to share my business model with him and prevent him from using that model in the future? How can we best protect ourselves so that we can have a transparent conversation about our two businesses and their roadmaps?

2024.05.16 04:22 ljoks Advice Needed: Choosing the right next steps for a young tech innovator
Context:
I am a 24 y/o recent grad in south florida and hold a BS & MS in Computer Science. I'm in a leadership rotational program at a Fortune 500 energy utility where I work in innovative tech (drones, extended reality, AI, etc). I've been consistently identified as the highest potential leader in my rotational cohort and have high ambitions for myself to make the most of my career quickly. In just 1.5 years i've developed a bunch of patents and our company's VC arm is offering to spin up a startup company around one of my ideas and inject cash into it. I've found that I don't have the necessary business and leadership acumen to have the level of conversations that are expected of me to run something like this, as much as I understand the tech.
For the last year i've taken 16 credit hours of an MBA at UMass Amherst online. Because I'm too early in my career post-undergrad they wouldn't let me sign up for the full degree yet. I've really been enjoying the content that i'm learning, but I do feel there's something missing by ignoring the benefit of the in-person network you can build with an MBA cohort (plus i just love learning in-person compared to online). Unfortunately there's no high-reputation options close to me (FAU, Nova). The closest decent one is UF MBA south florida weekend option, but it is 50-60K. My employer subsidizes up to 50K and I have already spent a portion of that for the UMass courses.
I'm about to approach a crossroads where I'm finally eligible to apply to the UMass program, but feel I should at least be considering other options that could be better. I Just don't know what to do at this point, there's so many factors to consider and I'm really overwhelmed.
Any advice is welcome.

2024.05.16 04:21 Throwaway17263829173 So I think I have neck issues, docs donāt think so.
For reference Iām a 23 yo M
To start, around 3 weeks ago I was headbanging to music pretty hard and felt a stinger in my neck. Thought I just pulled something, but I woke up the next day with my arm feeling like a nerve was pinched somewhere. It was hurting in my left shoulder and weak as well, there was also tingling and weakness in my hand.
The tingling have also spread to my face and neck. A week later the other arm started having the same issue (feeling exactly the same on onset actually). I go to see my neurologist and he was weakness in my left shoulder and arm but not in my right arm as it felt completely normal when this all started. The left shoulder weakness has actually gotten better, but the tingling, numbness, and weakness are still there. Also neck pain and should pain coke on intermittently.
I should note all the weakness is clinical. Also have positive Hoffmann sign in left hand but not on the right. No clonus. Positive Romberg test which tests for proprioception.
I had an emg of only the left arm because that was where all this started, and it came back crystal. I also had an mri of my brain and neck and this is what they found.
FINDINGS: No fractures or dislocations are seen. No destructive bony changes are seen. The vertebral bodies are maintained in height. The pedicles are intact. No facet malalignment is seen. The pedicles are intact. The craniocervical alignment and atlantoaxial articulation are unremarkable. The visualized structures within the cranial fossa are grossly unremarkable. No spinal cord myelopathy or contusion is seen. Small mucous retention cyst in the sphenoid sinus is noted consistent with chronic sinusitis.
There is straightening of the cervical lordosis likely due to muscle spasm.
The C2-3 disc level is unremarkable.
The C3-4 level is unremarkable.
C4-5: There is 2.5-3 mm broad-based right paracentral/right posterior herniation of the protrusion type impinging of the right ventral spinal cord borderline narrowing the central spinal canal. The neural foramina are patent bilaterally. Tiny Tarlov cyst in the lateral foramen is seen.
C5-6: There is a shallow broad-based left posterior protrusion encroaching approximately 2.5-3 mm into the spinal canal with associated posterior spurring/ridging impinging on and mildly flattening the left ventral spinal cord. Tarlov cysts in both neural foramina are seen.
C6-7: Tarlov cysts in both foramina are noted without disc space narrowing, annular fissure, posterior herniation or central spinal stenosis.
C7-T1: There is minimal right posterior bulge without disc space narrowing, annular fissure or focal herniation. Small Tarlov cysts in the foramina are seen.
The T1-2 disc level is unremarkable.
All this points to neck issues but two surgeons (well one surgeon and a resident of another surgeon.) say itās highly unlikely my neck is causing these symptoms. My neurologist has stated to me that there is nothing else it really could be outside of blood issues.
Iāve gone down the als rabbit hole and am stuck in it, Iām trying to get out. I forgot to mention I have twitches too on top of it all.
Help me friends
EDIT: I also have balance issues and weakness in my right leg thatās more attributable to my disc herniation in my low back. I had the weakness before all this became so crazy. Also brain mri is literally completely unremarkable.

2024.05.16 04:17 DatVaGuy Cardiac CT angio results. Scary numbers and not sure what to do.
53M. 6'1". 185lbs.
Medications:
Aspirin
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Bepreve (bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution)
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Cialis
Diclfenac Sodium Topical
Losartan Potassium
Metoprolol Succinate Extended-Release
Zepbound
Naproxen Sodium (Aleve)
Nasonex
Sertraline (Zoloft)
Doctor recommended a cardiac CT angio and I received the results. This looks pretty scary. I mean, 99% of people have better hearts? I feel like I should just give up and wait to have the inevitable heart attack.
Here's the report:
CTA CORONARY ARTERIES 3D WITHOUT AND WITH CONTRAST
HISTORY: Coronary arteriosclerosis.
COMPARISON: CT calcium score from 04/30/2016 and 12/09/2020
TECHNIQUE: Gated CT angiography of the heart was performed with intravenouscontrast, using coronary protocol. Multiplanar reformatted and 3D maximumintensity projection (MIP) images were created and reviewed. The followingdose reduction techniques were utilized: automated exposure control and/oradjustment of the mA and/or KV according to patient size, and the use of aniterative reconstruction technique.
CONTRAST: Isovue 370 95 mL
FINDINGS:
CALCIUM SCORING:Left main: 65
Left anterior descending: 227
Left circumflex: 346
Right Coronary: 288
Posterior Descending: 0
TOTAL CAC SCORE: 926
AGE/SEX MATCHED SCORE PERCENTILE: 99% of asymptomatic patients matched for same sex and age have a lower calcium score.
CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY:
LEFT MAIN: The left main coronary artery demonstrates calcified plaques which results in no significant luminal narrowing.
LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING CORONARY ARTERY: The proximal LAD demonstrates calcified plaques which results in minimal luminal narrowing (less than25%). The mid and distal LAD are patent without stenosis. The first diagonal branch demonstrates mixed noncalcified and calcified plaques which results in minimal luminal narrowing (less than 25%). The second diagonal branch demonstrates calcified plaques which results in minimal luminal narrowing (less than 25%).
LEFT CIRCUMFLEX CORONARY ARTERY: The proximal left circumflex demonstrates calcified plaques which results in minimal luminal narrowing (less than25%). The first obtuse marginal branch is small in caliber and difficult to assess. The second obtuse marginal branch appears patent. The third obtuse marginal branch appears patent. The mid left circumflex demonstrate scalcified plaques which results in minimal luminal narrowing (less than25%). The fourth obtuse marginal branch appears patent. The distal leftcircumflex is small in caliber and cannot be assessed.
RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY: The proximal RCA demonstrates calcified plaques which results in mild luminal narrowing (25-49%). The mid RCA appearspatent without stenosis. The distal RCA appears patent without stenosis.The PDA arises from the RCA and appears patent. Other: There is a 5 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe (series 14,image 41). The heart size is normal. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: 1. Nonobstructive coronary artery disease.2. Calcium score of 926.3. A 5 mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. Recommend a follow-up noncontrast CT chest in 1 year.

2024.05.16 03:52 LookMyJees Le chocaron el auto a mi vieja y no le quieren pasar los datos
Mi vieja es vicedirectora en una escuela, queda entre calles muy angostas, mi vieja estaciona el auto en la vereda del frente (todo legal, sin tapar entradas), cuestion que siempre cuando los pendejos entran o salen hay un lindo quilombo, entre los papis que dejan a los hijos en el auto hasta las combis que estacionan en la misma vereda del colegio (vereda contraria a la que estaciono el auto mi vieja).
Cuestion que a la salida de hoy justo una vecina de enfrente al colegio quiere sacar el auto, tarea muy complicada por la angostez de la calle ya mencionada sumado al hecho de que habia vehiculos en todos lados, con la ayuda de una transportistas para que la maniobra sea mas facil, se pone nerviosa y se equivoca e movimiento y raya el paragolpes trasero del auto. CuestiĆ³n que la vecina decide cancelar la sacada de auto y lo mete de nuevo.
Cuando sale mi vieja de la escuela (mas tarde del horario del choque) el portero y la transportista le cuentan toda esta secuencia, por lo que mi madre decide llamar a la puerta de la casa, atiende la vecina y sale para dialogar; cuestion que la vecina se hace cargo del accidente, nunca dijo cual fue el integrante de la familia que hizo el sinestro, pero que ellos no iban a entregar los datos, ya que ellos creen que ella es responsable del hecho al ser vicedirectora de la escuela, es responsable del desorden que se origina en la calle, con el tema de los autos y las combis, literal. La familia quiere que cambien las normas para no permitir el estacionamiento en una de las veredas (la de ellos), asi el transito fluye mas, ya que la otra esta pintada de amarillo, pero estacionan las combis momentƔneamente para la salida y entrada de pendejos. Ademas de todo este drama nos comentan que la placa de la puerta del auto de la vecina quedo totalmente para adentro por lo que no se entiende porque no querria entregar los datos, hipotesis familiar avala que por ahi el conductor no poseia registro/cedula azul (conozco la nueva reglamentacion pero igualmente es valida la hipotesis).
Que se debe hacer, esperar para identificar la patente, mi vieja ya hizo la denuncia con el seguro con testigos y todo pero bueno; otra de las opcionas era dialogar con los vecinos de manera pasivo/agresivo para poder tener los datos, o si no a recurrir a medidas de fuerza mayor... Opiniones???

2024.05.16 03:06 locoluis How to compete with indie game development studios?
It's very simple. Buy them and close them down.
You now own their IP, so they can no longer compete with you.
Rinse and repeat in order to reduce the supply of available games and thus increase the prices of your flagship products.
Also, patent everything, so nobody can use the same ideas during the duration of the patents.
This is how you maintain a stranglehold in the gaming market. You want to be the nail that sticks out the most, so be sure to carry a big hammer in order to hammer down all other nails.

2024.05.16 01:55 TheGoldenLeaper Enravel Overview
Enravel (Seattle)
Date of Incorporation: 9/14/2009
Governing Persons: Rony Abovitz (Governor); Scott Henry (Governor); Anastasia Lang; Richard Taylor; Jennifer Fitzpatrick; Joseph Tsai https://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/business.aspx?ubi=602954597
Enravel, which presented at the April Innovation Showcase, followed up the presentations with an update and product demo. The company, led by UW mechanical engineer Brian Schowengerdt [former UW & Microvision employee], has developed a laser-based āpico projectorā that could be built into mobile electronics like cell phones, digital cameras, and even eye glasses. The 1 mm x 9 mm projector āabout the size of a grain of riceāuses āscanning fiberā technology to then scan an image from the device, and project an enlarged image back onto a larger surface, like a wall. The company, which has put most of its resources into developing the projection technology so far, plans to now turn its focus to streamlining the light source modulator to improve image quality.
https://xconomy.com/seattle/2010/07/15/technology-alliance-showcases-four-new-companies-in-biotech-and-cleantech-and-revisits-one-past-presente2/
Linden Rhoads [at the time Vice Provost-IP, Commercialization, Innovation at the University of Washington] introduced this startup by pulling out her iPhone and iPad (yes, one of those) and talking about the devicesā display capabilities. āThese are great, these are fun, but theyāre going to be so much more fun when there are projectors available for them,ā she said. āThat day is very, very close at hand.ā
Enravel is led by UW mechanical engineer Brian Schowengerdt, an expert in alternative displays, user interfaces, and human visual perception. He co-founded the company in 2009 to commercialize a laser-based āpico projector.ā The idea, he says, is to ātake a display of iPad size and compress it into the size of an iPhone.ā More specifically, to shrink a projector to āthe size of a grain of riceā and use it to project on-screen images, video, games, websites, e-mailāyou name itāonto any larger surface.
The core technology is a āscanning fiberā projector that uses fiber optics and a vibrating element to scan an image and blow it up, for example, to a size of 17 inches across from just five inches away.

The scanning fiber endoscope is an ultrathin and flexible endoscope for the early detection and treatment of cancers within the body. The SFE can be used as a surveillance device with the goal of improving our chances of survival from cancer.
A scanning fiber endoscope is a technology that uses a flexible, small (< 6Fr) peripheral or coronary catheter to provide wide-field, high-quality, full-color, laser-based video imaging. These differences distinguish SFE applications from current imaging approaches such as IVUS and Intracoronary OCT. Applications for the device (which was pending FDA review and approval as of 2017[needs update]), are expected to include medical diagnosis and support in determining interventional treatments such as surgery or biopsy. Providing both full-color images and a wide-field, real-time surgical view into the inner depths of arteries, enables physicians to circumnavigate hard to reach internal tissues to assess for potential disease.
REDMOND, WA (August 26, 2019) ā VerAvanti, a developer of a new class of scientifically-advanced solutions to help physicians find answers to treat strokes and heart attacks that often strike without warning, today announced that its new subsidiary, Avanti, has opened a Nanofabrication facility in Bothell, Washington. The facility includes a 9,300 S.F. ISO 9001 cleanroom, the second largest in Washington State.
The first-of-its-kind facility on the Eastside will support high-volume component production of wafers and chips with nanoscale features. Because of the inconceivably tiny parts made from unconventional materials, these components arenāt practical, economical or even possible to fabricate at commercial foundries. The lab capabilities include photolithography, wet and dry etch, atomic layer deposition, Sputtering, Deep Reactive Ion Etching, scanning electron microscopy, Multiphysics simulation, design, and proprietary piezoelectric fabrication. The Avanti Nanofabrication will provide services to VerAvanti and the other businesses seeking these specialized services.
VerAvanti Founder and CEO, Gerald McMorrow explained why VerAvanti launched its new nanofabrication subsidiary. McMorrow stated, āThe opening of the Avanti Nanofabrication facility enables VerAvanti to manufacture its patented Scanning Fiber Endoscope (SFE), a new, extremely small imaging modality designed to access small arteries to illuminate stroke and cardiovascular risks.ā With the price point advantages this subsidiary enables, VerAvanti is positioning for a highly competitive market launch of its innovative SFE device.

Enravel, which presented at the April Innovation Showcase, followed up the presentations with an update and product demo. The company, led by UW mechanical engineer Brian Schowengerdt [former UW & Microvision employee], has developed a laser-based āpico projectorā that could be built into mobile electronics like cell phones, digital cameras, and even eye glasses. The 1 mm x 9 mm projector āabout the size of a grain of riceāuses āscanning fiberā technology to then scan an image from the device, and project an enlarged image back onto a larger surface, like a wall. The company, which has put most of its resources into developing the projection technology so far, plans to now turn its focus to streamlining the light source modulator to improve image quality.

Linden Rhoads [at the time Vice Provost-IP, Commercialization, Innovation at the University of Washington] introduced this startup by pulling out her iPhone and iPad (yes, one of those) and talking about the devicesā display capabilities. āThese are great, these are fun, but theyāre going to be so much more fun when there are projectors available for them,ā she said. āThat day is very, very close at hand.ā
Enravel is led by UW mechanical engineer Brian Schowengerdt, an expert in alternative displays, user interfaces, and human visual perception. He co-founded the company in 2009 to commercialize a laser-based āpico projector.ā The idea, he says, is to ātake a display of iPad size and compress it into the size of an iPhone.ā More specifically, to shrink a projector to āthe size of a grain of riceā and use it to project on-screen images, video, games, websites, e-mailāyou name itāonto any larger surface.
The core technology is a āscanning fiberā projector that uses fiber optics and a vibrating element to scan an image and blow it up, for example, to a size of 17 inches across from just five inches away. A matchbook-size assembly of laser diodes (off the shelf) provides the light source to project the image. You could imagine such a projector might be crammed into a smartphone and used anytime you want a bigger display to interact with, for reading text or watching a video, say.

2024.05.16 01:45 Maximum_Win_11 Not matriculating into US MD program, what do I do now?
Hello!!
I am looking for some advice on potential career options/alternative paths. Recently I was accepted into a medical school but am heavily considering not attending (have decided to defer matriculation by a year, just in case I change my mind, but it seems very unlikely that I will). Long story short, I applied to medical school after graduating with a degree in economics and chemistry. I got really into EMS and volunteering/working as an EMT. I liked it so much that I decided to further my career in medicine by applying to medical school. However, as time went on, I got extremely burnt out responding to 911 calls and was unable to disconnect. What I was seeing on these calls would often be bother me for days and I would not be able to sleep and eat. While I could most likely find ways to cope with this, I do not think that I will ever be able to disconnect fully during cadaver lab, clinical rotations in the hospital, and residency. I know that I would be able to handle the workload during medical school as I truly feel happiest when I am learning/in school/have a lot of work to do. Despite knowing that I can make it through medical school and find ways to cope with my anxieties around clinical experience, I do not think that means that I should do it. My plan if I did make it through medical school was to pursue a residency in occupational and environmental medicine and explore nonclinical career paths (whether that be consulting or something else). For some context, I absolutely LOVED studying for the MCAT. I enjoyed organic chemistry and biochemistry the most.
So, I am looking into alternative career paths that would incorporate the parts of studying medicine that I really enjoy with a less "in your face" clinical aspect. I do enjoy patient interviewing, maybe it's the problem-solving aspect that I like the most. I like taking medical history, hearing about lab values, and trying to figure out what's going on.
Some things that I have been looking into are 1. Pharmacy. Have gotten a little scared about how a lot of pharmacists are saying that they hate their jobs and that the market is completely oversaturated. A little worried about the debt-to-income ratio. I like that there are options to work as an MSL, or in biotech, etc. I know that it is not a research degree, but I know some pharmacists have the ability to work in research, which I like potentially having the option.

- Optometry. This seems really interesting, and I like learning about lenses, but obviously there's more to the career than that. I would need to shadow optometrists. But I feel like optometry kind of limits the type of work that I can do, and I feel like not a lot of optometrists function in MSL roles, non-clinical settings, or research?
- Law & continuing my education in economics: worried that this will not be as fulfilling because I might miss the science aspect. But I know that patent law is also a thing so I might still be able to incorporate any science interests into law practice. If I went this route, I would also continue to pursue interests in economics as I really enjoy economic development. I only started looking into this option more seriously recently, but a lot of my university professors would tell me that I should be a lawyer because I wrote really strong analytical papers and examined text well.

 | MAY 15th, 2024~Advancing Scandium Use in Metal Alloys for U.S. Weapon System Production and SustainmentAdvancing Scandium Use in Metal Alloys for U.S. Weapon System Production and Sustainment SBIR.govhttps://preview.redd.it/dwx6p7z78o0d1.png?width=1606&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee8453a29e485ce514a3aa73c4cdaa6d2980ad45 https://preview.redd.it/ueltbqtn7o0d1.png?width=1195&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5fdb8802a908188a0ee575addbfee5d5070b9be OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Advanced MaterialsThe technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which controls dual use items. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals (FNs), their country(ies) of origin, the type of visa or work permit possessed, and the statement of work (SOW) tasks intended for accomplishment by the FN(s) in accordance with the Announcement. Offerors are advised foreign nationals proposed to perform on this topic may be restricted due to the technical data under US Export Control Laws. OBJECTIVE: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks to promote responsive, best value supplies of related materials, components, and systems to Department of Defense (DoD) customers and other DoD stakeholders. DLA investigates advancements in technologies and business processes for new and improved materials, more efficient means of their production, and competitive domestic supply chains which will lead to greater innovation in current and future defense systems combined with benefits to other commercial and government applications. DLA is interested in exploring future defense industrial base uses for scandium (Sc) because of its unique properties as a pure metal and, as an alloying agent, to significantly increase the performance of traditional aluminum (Al) alloys, and therefore expand the use of Al alloys. Further benefits include, substituting aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys for incumbent expensive materials (e.g., titanium) and/or replacing material forms that are both costly and difficult to source (e.g., forging, complex machined parts, and extrusions), as Al-Sc alloys are highly compatible with additive manufacturing techniques. Scandium can impart high strength properties to Al alloys which allows for reduced weight designs (compared to traditional Al alloy) and components for a wide range of defense platforms and other military items. Al-Sc alloys exhibit increased resistance to high temperature and corrosion when compared to common Al alloys. Of further interest, is the high weldability of Al-Sc alloy. Alloys with high weldability can reduce manufacturing labor and other costs associated with joining components and structures. Al-Sc alloy can be especially useful when used as a powder or wire in additive manufacturing. Potential DoD applications for Al-Sc alloy include the production and sustainment of missiles, aircraft, space launch vehicles, satellites, solider systems, military ground vehicles, marine applications, and other weapon systems (e.g., small arms and artillery). While Sc metal has many attractive material characteristics, its cost is frequently considered prohibitive for Al alloying purposes compared to other alloying elements. In addition, the supply of Sc metal and compounds is limited and highly concentrated in a small number of foreign countries including China and Russia. As such, there is reluctance to develop wide scale uses for Al-Sc alloys for many applications including DoD weapon systems and large-scale non-defense applications (e.g., commercial aviation and automotive manufacturing). In the United States mining operations for Sc ore are being planned and developed to feed a domestic supply chain and, recently, new sources of Sc now exist in Canada (an important member country of DoDās National Technology Industrial Base). There are also established defense industrial base companies and other businesses in both countries that can significantly contribute to development and commercialization of Al-Sc supply chains for both military and commercial applications.Given the important properties of Sc, and in anticipation of increased affordable domestic supply, DLA is interested in engaging small businesses with the capability to develop and expand expertise and industrial base production capacity of Sc-containing materials, especially in areas relevant to the supply of Al-Sc alloy components for DoD end-uses.Specific materials, processing and manufacturing areas of interest include:
Research and Development (R&D) efforts selected under this topic shall demonstrate and involve a degree of risk where the technical feasibility of the proposed work has not been fully established. Further, proposed efforts must be judged to be at a Technology and/or Manufacturing Readiness Level (TRL/MRL) 6 or less, but greater than TRL/MRL 3 to receive funding consideration. TRL 3. (Analytical and Experimental Critical Function and/or Characteristic Proof of Concept) TRL 6. (System/Subsystem Model or Prototype Demonstration in a Relevant Environment) DESCRIPTION: DLA seeks SBIR project opportunities in new and innovative materials, processing, and manufacturing of Sc compounds, Sc metal, Al-Sc alloy and master alloys, and related areas of additive manufacturing. While Al and Sc are the primary metals of interest for this solicitation, it is anticipated that additional alloying elements may be included to tailor the final alloy properties. Specific areas of interest include:
DLA seeks opportunities that include strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in Sc materials processing, as well as strong collaboration with traditional or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers. DLA similarly desires SBIR opportunities that include collaboration with interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organizations. PROJECT DURATION and COST: Proposals exceeding these limits will not be evaluated. PHASE I: Not to exceed a duration of 12 months and cost of $100,000. PHASE II: Not to exceed a duration of 24 months and cost of $1,000,000. PHASE I: Phase I will demonstrate proof of concept in one or more of the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing. A technology development and commercialization roadmap will be produced along with a preliminary business case analysis for transition and industrial scale up. Strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing is expected, along with involvement of one or more traditional or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers. Strong support from one or more interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organization required. PHASE II: Depending on Phase I results, Phase II will consist of establishing pilot scale or low-rate production of technologies that are successfully demonstrated in Phase I. Additional activities may include further materials and processing testing, characterization, and data base development of related materials and processes that can be used by future producers of scandium materials of interest (e.g., compounds, metals, alloys, and master alloys as well as related additive manufacturing powders and wire, and fabricators of aluminum scandium end-items). Development of a detailed business case analysis and commercialization plan will be required. Strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing, along with involvement from traditional and/or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers, is required, along with strong support from interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organizations.Innovative materials and processes, and commercially viable sources of their supply, shall be developed with the goal to readily transition to production in support of DoD and its supply chains.PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Phase III is any proposal that derives from, extends or completes a transition from a Phase I or II project. Phase III proposals will be accepted after the completion of Phase I and or Phase II projects. There is no specific funding associated with Phase III, except Phase III is not allowed to use SBISTTR coded funding. Any other type of funding is allowed. Phase III proposal Submission. Phase III proposals are emailed directly to DLA SBIR2@dla.mil. The PMO team will set up evaluations and coordinate the funding and contracting actions depending on the outcome of the evaluations. A Phase III proposal should follow the same format as Phase II for the content and format. There are, however, no limitations to the amount of funding requested, or the period of performance. All other guidelines apply. Transition Plan
This Phase of the project should include:

(August 14, 2023) ā A phased program to establish U.S. commercial production of aluminum-scandium (āAlScā) master alloy took another step forward recently as NioCorp Developments Ltd. (āNioCorpā or the āCompanyā) (NASDAQ:NB) (TSX:NB) and its development partner Nanoscale Powders LLC (āNanoscaleā) successfully produced scandium metal at pilot-scale at a facility owned and operated by Creative Engineers in Pennsylvania. The next step in the pilot-scale program is to produce kilogram-sized ingots of AlSc master alloy for independent testing and commercial product samples. The first of these AlSc master alloy ingots is expected to be produced in the coming weeks. Three-Phase Commercialization ProgramNioCorp and Nanoscale are pursuing a three-phased development plan for commercial production of AlSc master alloy. The goal of this program is to achieve full-scale AlSc master alloy production at approximately the same time as the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project (the āElk Creek Projectā) achieves commercial operation and planned production of approximately 100 tonnes per year of scandium oxide.
Qualified Persons: Scott Honan, M.Sc., SME-RM, COO of NioCorp Developments Ltd., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information and verified the data contained in this news release. ***SEE RESPONSES FROM NIOCORP/JIM SIMS FROM AUGUST 14, 2023 ~Good morning - Jim!While waiting for Niocorpās 2023 F.S. Releaseā¦ The announcement for Scandium Alloy Production & Scandium alloy funding are most welcome!Leading me to add to my line of questions regarding Scandium & (Niocorp).A) Would Niocorp qualify for a portion of this recent funding once approved by Congress? Moving forward.RESPONSE: "This funding was placed in the FY24 DoD Appropriations bill at the request of Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, for the purpose of helping to fund NioCorp's effort to establish domestic commercial production of AlSc master alloy. There is always a process within the DoD to select appropriate projects with funding provided to it by Congress. In this case, however, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees provided additional guidance to DoD on this topic in their respective National Defense Authorization bills, including prioritizing domestic production of such materials. "Next Question ~ For context:(Imperial mining, CleanTech, & Scandium International all have patents on Scandium & Sc aluminum alloy products. Rio Tinto has established a North American domestic supply(@15 tons/year with expansion capabilities) & has established a working relationship with Boeing.Niocorp has produced Scandium aluminum with both IBC (under Chris Huskamp now with Jabil) & with Ames Lab, but has yet to patent any process or materials. Niocorp has established a working relationship with Nanoscale to produce patentable Scandium Aluminum products in the years aheadā¦) Jim- B) How Does/will Niocorpās expected Scandium production & future patentable Scandium materials be utilized by management moving forward? Once realizedā¦. ; and How do/would they compare to those materials & alloys already developed or patented? RESPONSE: "Latent markets for scandium oxide and aluminum-scandium master alloy ā both commercial and military -- are quite large, and we are working with a number of potential scandium consumers and related technology companies interested in scandium. We will make announcements in this area as developments require. In general, we donāt comment on detailed commercial business strategies except in the course of necessary announcements and/or public filings. "C) In addition to Niocorpās collaboration with NanoScale. Is Niocorp currently working/engaged with other entities such as (Ames Lab, DoD, DoE, Chris Huskamp/Jabil & others) on Scandium Materials/patents?Or on Niobium, Titanium, or Rare Earth future products (Oxides, Magnetsā¦) Please comment where possible. RESPONSE: "There are multiple such engagements ongoing now for each product in our planned product offering. In general, we donāt comment on commercial business strategies except in the course of necessary announcements and/or public filings. "D) Are other Entities besides EXIM Bank and Stellantis still interested as possible Debt/Equity finance or Anchor Investos partners moving foward?Leading to a Final Elk Creek Finance package?

As scandium oxide pro-duction is established in the United States, a missing supply chain component is the conversion of scandium from its oxide form to aluminum-scandium (AlSc) master alloy. This process step is required for utilization of U.S.-mined scandium by many defense applications. At present, production capacity of AlSc master alloy is limited to one facility in the United States. The committee recognizes that the United States may soon become a major producer of highpurity scandium oxide by virtue of a proposed mine and mineral processing project in Nebraska. The committee recognizes the defense-wide importance of a vertical domestic supply chain for both Scandium Oxide and AlSc master alloy and the critical importance of both materials for the production of air-, land-, and sea-based combat systems.NIOBIUM, TITANIUM, SCANDIUM & RARE EARTH MINERALS: ~H.R. 2670 - NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024~ The urgent need to diversify the United States Defense Industrial base to advance domestic capability, production, modernization, and resilience! https://preview.redd.it/wu25kirwao0d1.png?width=571&format=png&auto=webp&s=e2716909a898a4a3baabd67ebdee674684daec6b AUGUST 9, 2023 ~Nebraskaās U.S. Senator Deb Fischer and Congressman Don Bacon Secure $10 Million in Federal Funding for U.S. Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy Production~Nebraskaās U.S. Senator Deb Fischer and Congressman Don Bacon Secure $10 Million in Federal Funding for U.S. Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy Production NioCorp Developments Ltd.https://preview.redd.it/498g6od4bo0d1.png?width=758&format=png&auto=webp&s=f15d9b1cde01cecbe21a3f14b7943968a1e09924 FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS & CONCLUSIONS ABOVE:IMHO- "I think the DoD is still interested! plus...."All the above BODES WELL FOR NIOCORP & for all the Goodies they will produce -(The Critical Minerals Niobium, Scandium, Titanium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, {lus BYPRODUCTS ~CaCO3, MgCO3 & some IRON STUFF~) should Financing be achieved.... !https://preview.redd.it/3s7xyi0dbo0d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=83b21549520965e47f98c4dbaa7a877f600ff7e8FULL STEAM AHEAD NIOCORP!

2024.05.16 01:10 Dry_Refrigerator4613 AITAH for pissing off my wife or is she the asshole for not letting me live my life?
So about a year ago, I discovered a brand of shower soap I really like. They have a wide variety of scents, and I enjoy the novelty of trying them out. Considering that they are soap bars that donāt expire, and I am a young person expecting to live a long life, I see no reason not to buy a stockpile of my favorite soaps. Wifey concurs.
Hereās our problem.
I proceeded to open approximately 10 bars of soap and threw em into a soap basket in the corner of the shower for regular use. Itās completely changed my shower game and I kinda love being an indulgent mad man about it, adding another bar of soap to the pile on a semi weekly basis. And look, I totally get it, Iām letting my freak flag fly here, Iām sure some of yāall think Iām patently crazy for this and thatās fine BUT my wife does too and thatās why weāre here!
Ok so itās all kinda playful banter and weāre not actually fighting about it yet but give it a few more soap bars and I swear she might legit reach her limit.
AITAH for being a weirdo who likes to mix up my daily shower with some novelty?
Edit* For those asking if the soaps get mushy and muddled, the soap basket is designed to keep water out and we have it in a corner do the shower that never gets wet. Keeping them in good condition long term is not an issue

2024.05.16 00:51 AbbeyeJo CT Chest Interpretation
Hi all, I am 33F (non smoker) who was recently seen in the ED because I was coughing up a bit of blood. Not copious amounts but more than streaks you sometimes see in phlegm when youāre sick. My boyfriend recently has covid so one would assume I have picked that up despite testing negative twice. I have a pulmonary AVM in my right lung so they decided to do a chest CT to check on that. The results came back and honestly have me feeling a little uneasy. The results were the following:
FINDINGS:
LUNGS/PLEURA: New left lower lobe groundglass/consolidation focus measuring with regional endobronchial debris. Regional tree-in-bud nodularity also noted. Right upper lobe/apical pulmonary nodule measuring up to 8 mm, unchanged since 2019. No pleural effusion. No large pulmonary hemorrhage. No pulmonary contusion. The central airways are patent without debris. No pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
Thanks in advance for any help and your time!

The central airways are patent without debris. No pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
- Left lower lobe regional groundglass/consolidative opacity with regional endobronchial debris, atelectasis, and tree-in-bud nodularity favored to represent infectious/inflammatory etiology such as a report evolving pneumonia. Recommend follow-up chest CT in 6-8 weeks to confirm resolution and rule out underlying lesion. At that time a right upper lobe nodule can be reassessed.
- Right upper lobe pulmonary nodule is unchanged since 2019.
Thanks in advance for any help and your time!

2024.05.16 00:19 ElvishFarmer94 What Is This Smooth, Black Material Topping My Desk?
 | Hello! I hope this is the right place to ask, but Iām very curious about the material that makes up the top of my desk. The entire desk is made of solid wood (not sure which kind), and topped with a smooth-feeling, black finish. On the front of the top drawer is a plaque saying āGunn-Lino Topā and says it was patented in 1923. Does Lino mean linoleum? submitted by ElvishFarmer94 to Antiques [link] [comments] The main reason I want to know is that whenever I clean the desk with wipes/windex/anything, the finish comes off a bit on the wipe/paper towel. Additionally, if anything acidic gets on it, it appears to take much more off. Iāve included photos of a part of the desk, the plaque, a spot on the desk where something acidic spilled (post-cleanup) with visible damage and a wipe showing the black finish that comes off. If anyone knows what it is, Iād like to find a way to clean it that doesnāt damage it. Hopefully someone can help me out! PS: Any other info about the desk you might know is more than welcome (style, type of wood etc.)! |
2024.05.16 00:16 Bushmon02 Industry Experience or Patent Experience (Pre-law school)
Hey everyone, I am graduating this year in Mechanical Engineering, and doing the 4+1 to get an Aerospace Engineering M.S. I really like aerospace/space industry, but I know that I want to go to law school in the near future (To do Patent Law). With this in mind, after I finish my M.S. I have a year to wait while I hear back from Law Adcoms:
submitted by Bushmon02 to patentlaw [link] [comments]
- Would I be more competitive (for law school) if I went into patent law for that year as a Patent Agent, or would I be more competitive if I went into Industry?
- Would I have an better chance of getting a patent attorney job if I have patent experience (as an agent), or if I have industry experience?
2024.05.16 00:15 OrganizationSuperb34 Does switching to IB candidate impact admission to IVY?
Hi,
I was recommeded by my school to drop Math HL as a junior. My transcript will now have math hl on the first semester and be missing math hl. Has anyone had similar experiences and still have gotten into an ivy or equivalently prestigious universities?
My current weighted GPA is 4.68. I have a few international awards and a patent. I feel like my EC is competitive but worried that me being an ib candidate will harm my chances of applying to a more prestigious universities. If anyone has similar experience, please give me any advice!
