OK,
Have just made a sell order for 320k shares, so will see how things fare from here on in.
If it drops 25%+ I'll re-buy.
Basically bored of waiting and hoping to get a few more. Better than just sitting here shooting the breeze and watching it gradually fall.

it would be nice to get some sense on this board, instead of rumour, counter rumour and vapourware - although I think my breath is wasted somehow

I may return to the fold if the offer price slides towards a penny - which might very well happen, at this rate!

Post on the other side re Ultrasonic Packaging,looks good to me ,anyone know of the downside ?

The Ultrasonic Benefit Package
The ultrasonic process provides many benefits for packaging; it is clean, consistent, and reliable. And:
It is energy-efficient and economical. Energy is needed and expended only at the precise location and area of the bond site.
There is no warm-up time and no need for constant temperature maintenance. Unlike the RF process or heat sealing, ultrasonics does not generate excessive heat.
The ultrasonic process is up to four times faster than RF sealing. Bonding of the material usually occurs in milliseconds and requires no recovery time.
No costly, potentially contaminating consumables, such as adhesives, staples, or solvents, are required. The resulting package is environmentally safe and recyclable.
It can seal through contaminants (i.e., liquids, oils, powders) that may be present in the sealing area without compromising weldability.
Ultrasonic equipment and components can be easily automated and are compatible with material handling systems.
Microprocessor-based or customer supplied controls allow precise settings which can be changed quickly with parameter storage and recall capabilities. Advanced controls and alarm capabilities ensure optimum operation and output.
SEO OLD TECHNOLOGY LOL!.

Branson's In-Line Clamshell Packaging System
While the most common method of ultrasonically welding clamshell packages is a manual plunge welding system, which requires a bar horn and specialized fixture, the Branson In-Line Clamshell system provides processors with flexibility and increased processing speed by eliminating the need for manual loading and unloading. Parts are simply scanned through. Adjustments for different configurations are easily made.
Ultrasonics offers immediate startup with no preheating, and is thus a fast, clean, reliable, and energy-efficient alternative to heat and RF sealing. The process seals despite product residue, steam, or vapor, imparts no heat to package contents, seals new and reclaimed materials, and eliminates consumables such as adhesives and staples, and is itself contaminant free.

Are there any scientific types out there who can tell me the difference between ultrasonic and radio frequency???
Would I be right in assuming that they are both simply disturbances in the electromagnetic field, but the frequency range is higher on RF than on ultrasonic??
Thanks,
Alan

I have a feeling its old mischief making.
I think there must be a very big difference regarding the process or else SEO would never have got the patent on GS.

Likely to be mischief making. certainly not new. Ultrasonic welding is great and as the site says its primary use is on those dastardly clamshell packs that I cannot rip open, have to take a sharp knife to, etc, etc.., and I don't think it can do peelable.
It is no good on PET, but good on Polythene and polyprop. Not sure if it lends itself to the food industry as yet, plus will have to jump through the same hoops as SEO....
Alan,
Ultrasonics: High frequency sound waves {speed of sound through the medium}
Radio frequency: High frequency electromagnetic waves {speed of light}

Thanks garyble.
I knew my physics wasn't up to it!!
I'd got as far as working out that If I Gs'd a cat with Starpol 3000, I could see the cat, so Schrodinger was an arse.

Well that's my penny's worth.
I've edited it a little.
Got to pop off to meet some chaps to look over a project for which we sent a letter of intent last week. I've kept them waiting for 10 mins so far, but they have arrived an hour early!
Nothing to do with SEO, but funny coincidence. Letter of intent last week, and we're about to place the order today.

My god 3.9p!!! My deepest condolences, thank god I sold a year ago I never dreamt it was going to reside here a year later. Really feel for you guys and fingers crossed this recovers. You should have that drink in Donny all the same.

I tried telling them it was old technology yonks ago, but would they listen?
I worked in the electronics industry in RF applications for years, including modules for the stealth bomber, eurofighter, naval systems, missile systems, etc, etc, - although it's not food packaging, the underlying technology is the same - & RF is a total dog to work with, & the electronic components are very expensive.
Ultrasonics is easy by comparison & much cheaper on the component front
