Normal service resumed? and lumped togetehr again. Maybe co-incidence

[sja123] 14/7/2015 11:38

Punters prepared to pay 48p for these last week....special offer today 10% off...but I don't think it will stay that way for long!

A few buyers moving in now...

All IMO etc

Anticipation of news :))

[speedsgh] 09/7/2015 14:49

Last time i give my broker an order to buy At Best! ;-)

[pj 1] 09/7/2015 14:32

Maybe a 3 month prediction? ;-)

[hydrus] 09/7/2015 14:25

Did someone really just buy 50,000 at 73p? Looks like a trading error of some sort

[pj 1] 08/7/2015 09:20

It doesnt look like traders though, lumps of 5k and 10k?

[sja123] 08/7/2015 09:13

Not sure whether anyone saw this piece from Zak Mir....or how much credence one gives to his charting skills....but he is putting chart resistance here at around 60p to be achieved within the next couple of months....

[pj 1] 08/7/2015 08:40

Ah, Its not you then BB2? Ill cross you off the list. Next!

Makes you wonder though BB2

[battlebus2] 08/7/2015 08:38

Maybe lol, Friday morning will tell a tale!!. Could be a deal close here with the continued rise in the share price.

[pj 1] 08/7/2015 08:35

Strange how buys recently have been lumped together each day. Its almost as if someone is reducing and taking profits elsewhere to build in TEK.

Or maybe Im watching the screen too much? :-0

No wonder it was oversubscribed :))

Just a great share and one of few that were blue today.

[pj 1] 30/6/2015 18:48

6/5/2015 rasied £2 million net

Accompanied by-

''The Placing, which was conducted by Allenby Capital Limited and Optiva Securities Limited, was oversubscribed...................

......We are also continuing to see several extremely interesting technologies in the market place that we believe are suitable for out-licence and have the potential to realise significant value for our shareholders''

:-))

Regards

New Proactive Investors video interview (7m13s)...

TekCapital CEO sees huge opportunity in wearable tech -

TekCapital (LON:TECH) CEO Clifford Gross tells Proactive Investors that he sees a lot of opportunity in sub-licensing their new energy-generating technology, piezoelectric, to other companies as demand for wearable technology grows. “The uniqueness of this technology is that it is able to generate fairly large amounts of power with simple human movements such as taking a step or bending and this power can be captured, stored and converted into DC power.. to recharge other devices,”he said.

Gross estimates the wearable technology market will grow to $35bln by 2020 and notes that all of those devices will need power. “We are bringing together two unrelated technologies to solve a very common problem, we’re attempting to package it, develop a prototype and sub-licence it to major parent companies” he said.

Interesting acquisitions to add to the existing portfolio. Look forward to eventual news of one of the acquisitions being licensed out. That is where the next major share price movement will emanate from imo.

[pj 1] 29/6/2015 10:24

Yes certainly extremely interesting yet we need to remind ourselves there are 100s if not 1000 companies chasing this goal.

The massive market for this would be for mechanical transportation. The average car has over 3 kms of cabling, imagine the cost savings there if vibration can be harnessed and cost effectively brought to Market!!

Arguably Toyato and BMW seem to be leading the chase.

[treeshake] 29/6/2015 10:16

This is all great news. One of my other stocks CPX makes super capacitors that make use of these harvesting devices all for the Internet of Things (IOT)

[kinbasket] 29/6/2015 09:03

This looks to be quite a clever deal. They've bought two complimentary patents from two different places and can now market them together. I guess this demonstrates the practical application of the search process. Wearable tech is a competitive and crowded space and I'm far too old skool to know if this is the shiz or not but TEK is starting to build a nice looking folio.

Interesting Power Generation Device rights acquisitions....

Tekcapital has acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to a piezoelectric* electro-mechanical device, from the University of Michigan with patents pending (US 2014/012690). This device may be incorporated into footwear, apparel, sporting goods and recreational equipment to harvest the energy generated through vibrations. The device itself is particular in that it combines principles of micro electro-mechanical systems originally designed to capture the energy generated by the vibrations of a beating heart, in order to charge the battery of a pacemaker implant.

This patent pending technology goes towards the development of new, super-small, power generation devices that may be incorporated into footwear, apparel, sporting goods and recreational equipment.

Brian R. Copple, Assistant Director, Office of Technology Transfer, University of Michigan, added: "We are pleased to have exclusively licensed this intellectual property to Tekcapital and we are very excited about the potential for this technology to provide wearable power generation and battery recharging for a wide variety of consumer products."

Battery Charger Circuit

Additionally, Tekcapital announces that it has acquired the exclusive worldwide licence to a patented (US 8,368,290) rectifier-free, energy harvester/battery-charger circuit from the Georgia Tech Research Corporation. This technology conditions the AC (alternating current) from a piezoelectric transducer, such as that licensed from the University of Michigan, for the efficient conversion into DC (direct current). The AC to DC conversion losses using this circuit have been demonstrated to be a fraction of the conversion losses experienced when using other more established rectifier based technologies. The DC from this efficient battery-charger circuit therefore has the potential to be used to charge the batteries incorporated in wearable devices, such as smart watches, wearable health monitors and portable devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers.

The design of the circuit consists of a piezoelectric-based harvester system, which extracts small amounts of energy from the environment and stores it in a power cache. The Board believes that the key innovation lies in the ability to reliably convert small amounts of energy from a variety of transducers for future use, while minimizing the energy loss necessary to perform the process. This patented and scalable design allows for bypassing input-voltage requirements while providing energy savings and has been shown to induce up to four times more energy than normal rectifier-based harvester circuits.

Lauren MacLanahan, Senior Director, Office of Industry Engagement, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, added: "We are glad to have exclusively licensed this patented technology to Tekcapital and we will be excited to see it commercialized for numerous energy harvesting applications."

Industry potential

According to a recent research industry analyst report(1) the total addressable market for wearable computing devices is forecast to reach nearly $35 Billion by 2020, with a CAGR of approximately 20%. Wearable computers are small, head worn, hand worn or body worn wireless sensors and microchips that collect data, track activities, enable communications along with providing real and virtual world experiences. The key segments for wearable products are fitness and wellness, medical and healthcare, enterprise and industrial, together with infotainment. Continuous and reliable operation of these wearable sensors may be facilitated with energy harvesting and storage technologies. In addition, smart phones and other mobile consumer products need regular battery charge boosting, as power consuming applications continue to grow at a rapid pace.

Commenting on the licensing acquisitions, Dr. Clifford M. Gross, Executive Chairman of Tekcapital, said: "We are excited to have acquired the exclusive licenses to these complementary technologies for generating power from human motion, in line with our corporate strategy of acquiring the licensing rights to compelling, early stage technologies and partnering with global OEM companies for commercialisation."

"The directors believe that together these technologies could help form an ecosystem for the generation of continuously available power for portable and wearable electronics, with the potential for market adoption across multiple sectors via out-licensing. As such, we are seeking to position ourselves to be at the forefront of the technology revolution which seeks to enable people to charge their mobile devices from simply moving."

*Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals and certain ceramics) in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. The initial demonstration of the piezoelectric effect was in 1880 by the brothers Pierre Curie and Jacques Curie.
