Notice the similarities and days between the dates of the 2 patent applications .
I think we can expect a NOA ( Notice of Allowance ) , which is bascially the patent award less the formality of fees & paperwork , in the next few days .
Once the patent is in hand , I believe contracts will be signed & equipment will be ordered .
