Thanks for the info Lang (and a great presentation).  I was not sure 
how active a member of this group you were.

How far has this tool progressed?  Is it years from completion, or 
are we talking a few months, or does it exists as a tool today?  
Could it work on a PC platform?  Do you have a Lead Scientist who 
would be willing to answer detailed questions? I am just asking as a 
hobbiest who is seriously interested in the science of it all.

Do the researchers (and are you one of them) have a plan for a 
commercial product based on this system?  Or is that information 
proprietary/ private considering competition for research grants, and 
funding for this technology?
