FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. "Why did you name the material 'Quartzlite' ?"
The name of our lead product, Quartzlite, was chosen due to its similarity to the name of our company, 'Qualight.'"
2. "From what materials is Quartzlite composed ?"
Quartzlite is composed of natural and technical clay and clay-associated materials.
3. Does Quartzlite have quartz in it ?
Natural clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates (Al2O5), and sometimes contain varying percentages of potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, and other
alkali metals, alkaline earths and cations.
4. "Why haven't I read about Quartzlite in Physics Today or some other peer-review journal ?"
We are in the process of developing the necessary equipment to reproduce the conditions under which Quartzlite was created. Until we have reached
the point at which we can efficiently and consistently reproduce those conditions, submittal of discovery-of-findings would be premature.
5. "Why wasn't this material discovered in a large corporation laboratory or academic institution backed by serious funding ?"
It may be difficult for an institution to change research direction or consider research alternatives once a certain pathway of research has been
initialized and funded.
6. "Let me see the analytical data" (not really a true question).
At this time, all analytical data, notebooks, and Quartzlite samples are considered Intellectual Property (IP), owned entirely by Qualight
Superconductor Technologies.
7. "How do you know the material is superconductive ?"
Initially, the material was tested utilizing a Hartshorn mutual inductance bridge, recalibrated, tested again, and then retested by a separate,
certified laboratory utilizing the SQUID method.
Additional electrical and physical properties of the material are currently being characterized.
8. "Why did you choose wireless communications filters and antennas as your target markets ?"
Our choice of initial target markets was based on a number of variables including: applicability of our technology in potential market segments,
barriers to entry in potential market segments, potential commercial partnerships, and potential customer desire for the technology.
9. "Are you going to make wireless filters and antennas ?"
No, Qualight Superconductor Technologies is a material company. We will be supplying manufacturers of wireless filters and antennas with Quartzlite
through licensing partnerships.
10. "Why would a a wireless company like Verizon or AT&T want to buy Quartzlite filters and antennas ?"
Integrating Quartzlite technology will extend the capabilities of RF/microwave wireless towers through improvements in transmission range (+ 25%),
user capacity per tower (+ 200%), reduction in equipment size (- 60%), and frequency stability and isolation.
For example, Quartzlite filters and antennas will extend the range of each tower by 25%, providing a 40% decrease in the number of
towers required in a given coverage area.
Cell phone users will also benefit from better reception and fewer dropped calls, resulting in increased subscriptions and profit margins for wireless
companies.
11. "What size of a market is there for wireless filters and antennas ?"
In 2008, the annual U.S. market for wireless communications filters and antennas was over 5 billion dollars.
12. "You know there are a lot of other aplications for your material, don't you ?"
Yes. Once a footprint is established in our initial target markets, Quartzlite will move into other markets.
13. "Are you going to file a patent ?"
Based on our current timetable, we are anticipating filing in 2010.
