New ETF aims to short ARK Invest and Cathie Wood's biggest fund-! Yikes. The initial version of the now agreed-upon $1T infrastructure bill in Congress doesn't call for any new taxes on crypto transactions, but does call for increased reporting from exchanges and other market participants. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but language in the bill apparently expanded the term "broker" to mean basically every digital market participant, including those to whom these new reporting requirements would be impossible to fulfill (think miners, software/hardware developers, decentralized exchanges, or even some random guy running a node in his basement). Were this language to remain, some in the digital world believe it could be a kill switch for much of the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) industry in the U.S. Recall, that China several weeks ago more or less banned bitcoin mining in that country.
Regarding WATT. The idea of wirelessly sending electricity... if that doesn't appeal to you all. Fine. It does to me. If I could just send some to where it's needed like a fax.... a fax of power. It is entirely on the come.. a dream if you will... but I find the technology solid and this could really add years to our electrical grid. That's big dream stuff on a local level these charges can be used by companies that are actively evaluating WATT's technology for use with their specific applications, involving IoT devices requiring reliable power at a distance, whether charging internal batteries or in most cases, harvesting transmitted energy to low power devices that do not require batteries if a reliable source of energy, such as what WATT supplies is available. Cesar Johnston Thank you, Stoney, and good afternoon, everyone. We believe that Energous continues to be the leader in the development of next-generation wireless charging technologies, using radio frequency wireless power transfer or WPT techniques. Our vision for safe high RF transmit power at a longer range continues to expand. RF WPT Say it! Say it with me. From the last quarter, our patent portfolio grew by four patents to 240 patents granted. Our patents protect our dedicated RF WPT semiconductors, and systems devices. And we believe that we have one of the strongest and most valuable RF WPT IP portfolios in the industry, which continues to make Energous, the clear technology leader in RF WPT.<---- In summary, we believe Energous is on a sure path with the evolution of IoT and the requirements for power delivery at increasing distances. The advent of the IoTH is grossing path of our mature and charging at a distant technologies. And as we have said on past calls and highlighted at the beginning of this call, we expect to see not only near-field customers releasing products into the market in the next two quarters, but we also expect to see first examples of products charged at a distance in the market..... >>>> <<<< I'm a proof of concept guy! I like this concept I'm sure the Aliens are using it... When we get to using the 900 megahertz for worldwide application significantly more power can be transferred further. How far? That's the question. This may be a local idea to every locality that will remove the need for lots of batteries everywhere that run out. ~si Hey! Wait-I’m Brian Sereda, Chief Financial Officer. And before I begin, I'd like to point out two press releases that hit the Wire just after close today. The first, announcing organizational changes in Energous and the second press release announcing our Q2 operating results ended March 31, 2021. Joining me today is Cesar Johnston, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Acting CEO; and Bill Mannina, our VP Finance and Corporate Controller, who will assume the role as acting CFO next month, as I transitioned to an advisory role. In addition to organizational changes, the company also announced Kathy Bayless, joining our Board as an Independent Director and Member of the Audit Committee. Continuing with the discussion from last quarter, the goal of distance charging are sending meaningful and sufficient energy at distance under global regulatory constraints has been the goal of the company since it began life as a public company in 2014. Since then significant technical and regulatory progress has transpired over the last several years... In addition, thanks to advancements of the technology and recent regulatory approvals, distance charging and energy harvesting is becoming a reality and will bring new benefits to other industrial, medical, defense and consumer verticals. Cesar Johnston Thank you, Brian, and good afternoon, everyone. We believe that Energous continues to be the leader in the development of next-generation wireless charging technologies, using radio frequency wireless power transfer or WPT techniques. Our vision for safe high RF transmit power at a longer range continues to expand.
Oh I forgot to mention a big kicker with WATT-- They are getting into consumer / at home market. Apple voided this when they gave up on their wireless charging I foregt what it was called. Apple may come back and re introduce the idea... or they may just buy WATT who has the patents and the air space.... There is a hint of hope coming from Energous as they are seemingly starting to think in terms of consumer design. In spring 2020, Energous introduced the Powerhub shown below from the company’s September 2, 2020 presentation. Now this is still a B2B product as stated in the May 6, 2020 Business Wire article,Energous Announces WattUp PowerHub, A New Developer Kit. new WattUp PowerHub Developer Kit which enables manufacturers to easily integrate charging-over-the-air technology into products such as smart speakers, gaming consoles, access points and other devices Courtesy of companypresentation So What we have is a Co that for years has been bleeding money and really must show something within 1 yr here-- and they have two good irons in the fire...
7/14 Roth Capital 'encouraged' by Energous energy harvesting development kit 07/14 WATT Roth Capital analyst Suji Desilva notes that following recent announcements of multiple energy harvesting partners, Energous announced availability of its energy harvesting development kit, which integrates components from key partner ePeas. The analyst is "encouraged" that this kit can enable Energous to target high growth wireless power transfer applications across healthcare, smart home and industrial. DeSilva believes recent management transition uncertainty has created an opportunity for investors and maintains a Buy rating on the shares, with a $5 price target.
....Cramer just said SQ should of bought AFRM. Genius Brands says 'Rainbow Rangers' growing across broadcast platforms globally 09:20 GNUS Genius Brands International's animated series, Rainbow Rangers, is growing its viewership dramatically across multiple media worldwide, including its anchor platform Kartoon Channel! in the U.S., as well as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video Direct, HBO Max, Nickelodeon Latin America, and China's largest broadcaster, CCTV, among others.

TROY, Mich., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To meet the growing demands for sustainable delivery solutions, Electric Last Mile, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELMS) and Thermo King, a strategic brand of Trane Technologies plc announced plans to build a first-of-its-kind all-electric refrigerated delivery vehicle. As part of the collaboration, Thermo King will integrate its E-200 all-electric refrigeration unit into the ELMS’ Urban Delivery electric vehicle (EV). This vehicle will be a prototype of the anticipated first Class 1 commercial EV available in the United States. “Together with Thermo King, a global leader in temperature control technologies for transport, we have the opportunity to expand the sustainability of the cold chain by electrifying the last mile delivery of fresh food and other perishable goods,” said ELMS Co-Founder and CEO, James Taylor. “Our goal is to redefine all verticals of last mile delivery and the Urban Delivery EV prototype brings us closer to that transformation.” ELMS and Thermo King expect to pilot the Urban Delivery prototype with refrigerated transport customers, as well as have it on display at the Home Delivery Expo, alongside their partners at Delivery Concepts, Inc. The prototype will also be on display at International Food Distributors Association’s annual events.
