Sorry Zeev, I don't see that they are competing with maxwell anymore than they are competing with IMG or SCON for that matter. Each is taking a different niche in the business, and developing its own know-how and experience in it. I am not very familiar with Maxwell, but from what I can tell they are more into the MRI and consumer electronics side of business. Maybe they are more in competition with IMG in that regard. I would agree with you on two counts though. The first is that there are some common and shared hurdles to be crossed by all of these companies working on superconductivity. A breakthrough by one, would influence the destiny of the others. The other is that each company must balance its cashflow resources and product pipeline in order to survive. A problem that is haunting IMG and ISCO, in different ways, but producing the same effect; a sunken share price.
