HEAD Launches Liquidmetal Skis for 2005/2006 Season at Munich Trade Show.LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Liquidmetal(R) Technologies Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :LQMT) announced today that the winter sports division of Head NV (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :HED HED High Energy Density HED Hall Effect Device HED Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia HED Historiae Ecclesiasticae (Doctor of Church History) Doctor, academic degree) HED Human Energy Expenditure HED Human Experience Development ) has added a Liquidmetal line of skis to be offered for the 2005/2006 ski season. The ultimate energy return of the Liquidmetal alloy is incorporated within a Liquidmetal(R) jacket that covers the entire length of the ski core. Given the fact that the Liquidmetal alloy does not deform on impact, combined with the torsional tor·sion n. 1. a. The act of twisting or turning. b. The condition of being twisted or turned. 2. stability of the HEAD Intelligence(TM) technology, designers are now able to offer a ski with increased response and power. Several of HEAD's ski lines will take advantage of the Liquidmetal technology, including Thang for women, XRC XRC Exeter Resource Corporation (stock symbol) XRC XML-Based Resource System XRC Xport Robot Controller XRC X-Ray Crystallography XRC Exact Reals in C XRC Extended Remote Copying (IBM) skicross, Worldcup racing, All-Mountain Cruising and Monster freeride
HEAD first incorporated Liquidmetal technology in their tennis racquets racquets, game played by two or four persons on a court 60 by 30 ft (18.3 m by 9.1 m); it is surrounded by three walls 30 ft (9.1 m) high and a backwall 15 ft (4.6 m) high. The ball, 1 in. (2.54 cm) in diameter, is made of polyethylene with an adhesive tape cover. two years ago, and they were recently voted #1 in product innovation by Fortune Magazine. About Liquidmetal Technologies Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., http://www.liquidmetal.com, is the leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of products made from amorphous alloys. Amorphous alloys are unique materials that are characterized by a random atomic structure, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure possessed by ordinary metals and alloys. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys are two to three times stronger than commonly used titanium alloys, harder than tool steel, and relatively non-corrosive and wear resistant. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys can also be molded into precision net-shaped parts similar to plastics, resulting in intricate and sophisticated engineered designs. Liquidmetal Technologies is the first company to produce amorphous alloys in commercially viable bulk form, enabling significant improvements in products across a wide array of industries. The combination of a super alloy's performance coupled with unique processing advantages positions Liquidmetal alloys for what the company believes will be The Third Revolution(TM) in material science.
