Impact of the ECD Capital Classic on Youth Lacrosse

The ECD Capital Classic has played a significant role in shaping the landscape of youth lacrosse. By bringing together talented teams from different regions, it has fostered healthy competition and promoted skill development among young players.

Has the tournament contributed to the growth of lacrosse as a sport? Indeed, by providing a platform for teams to showcase their abilities on a larger stage, the ECD Capital Classic has helped raise the profile of youth lacrosse and inspired more young athletes to take up the sport.

The event’s consistent presence over the years has also created a sense of tradition and prestige within the lacrosse community. Teams and players alike strive to earn the title of ECD Capital Classic champions, adding an extra layer of motivation to their training and performance.

Erdheim-Chester Disease: Beyond the Lacrosse Field

While the ECD Capital Classic has made its mark in the world of lacrosse, it’s important to note that ECD also stands for Erdheim-Chester Disease, a rare condition that has touched the lives of many individuals and families.

Erdheim-Chester Disease is an ultra-rare form of blood cancer that can affect multiple organs in the body. The ECD Global Alliance works tirelessly to raise awareness about this condition and support those affected by it.

What is Erdheim-Chester Disease?

Erdheim-Chester Disease is a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is characterized by the excessive production and accumulation of histiocytes, a type of white blood cell, in various tissues and organs. This accumulation can lead to a wide range of symptoms and complications, making diagnosis and treatment challenging.

Stories of Triumph: ECD Patients and Their Families

The ECD Global Alliance has collected numerous inspiring stories from patients and their families, highlighting their journeys of resilience and hope in the face of this rare disease.

Unexpected Hope in Israel

An Erdheim-Chester disease patient shared her hope-filled story for Rare Disease Day 2021, demonstrating the power of perseverance and optimism even in the face of a challenging diagnosis.

A Ray of Hope Amid the Sorrow

This story explores the perspective of an ECD spouse, detailing the emotional rollercoaster of receiving a rare disease diagnosis while also experiencing the gift of life. It underscores the importance of support systems for both patients and their loved ones.

A Spiritual Journey Through ECD

William Dean’s account of his path to diagnosis highlights the stress and uncertainty that often accompany rare diseases. Despite the challenges posed by both ECD and the COVID-19 pandemic, Dean found strength in his spirituality and his desire to support his family.

Raising Awareness: The ECD Global Alliance’s Mission

The ECD Global Alliance plays a crucial role in supporting patients and advancing research into Erdheim-Chester Disease. Their efforts include:

• Providing information and resources for patients and families
• Facilitating connections between ECD patients worldwide
• Supporting research initiatives to improve diagnosis and treatment
• Organizing awareness campaigns and events

How does the ECD Global Alliance contribute to the fight against Erdheim-Chester Disease? By fostering a community of support, funding research, and raising public awareness, the organization helps improve the lives of those affected by ECD and works towards finding better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

The Power of Sharing: ECD Patient Stories in the Media

The ECD Global Alliance encourages patients and families to share their stories through various media outlets. These personal accounts serve multiple purposes:

1. Raising awareness about Erdheim-Chester Disease among the general public
2. Providing hope and support to newly diagnosed patients
3. Educating healthcare professionals about the diverse manifestations of ECD
4. Inspiring further research and funding for rare diseases

While these stories are invaluable for raising awareness, the ECD Global Alliance notes that some information in media articles may not always be scientifically accurate. They encourage readers to verify medical information with healthcare professionals and reliable sources.

From Diagnosis to Advocacy: The Journey of ECD Patients

Many ECD patients find themselves becoming advocates for rare disease awareness and research. Their journeys often follow a similar path:

1. Experiencing unexplained symptoms and undergoing numerous tests
2. Receiving a diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester Disease
3. Navigating the challenges of treatment and lifestyle adjustments
4. Connecting with other ECD patients and support organizations
5. Sharing their stories to raise awareness and inspire hope

Do ECD patients often become advocates for rare disease awareness? Yes, many patients find that sharing their experiences not only helps them cope with their own diagnosis but also contributes to the broader mission of improving understanding and support for rare diseases like ECD.

The Intersection of Sports and Rare Disease Awareness

While the ECD Capital Classic Lacrosse Tournament and Erdheim-Chester Disease may seem unrelated at first glance, they both represent opportunities for community building and raising awareness. Sports events like the lacrosse tournament can serve as platforms for promoting rare disease awareness and fundraising efforts.

How can sports events contribute to rare disease awareness? By incorporating educational elements, fundraising activities, or dedicating portions of the event to rare disease causes, sports tournaments can leverage their visibility to support important health initiatives.

The connection between the ECD Capital Classic and Erdheim-Chester Disease awareness efforts could be strengthened to create a powerful synergy between the worlds of sports and healthcare advocacy.

Potential Initiatives

• Dedicating a portion of tournament proceeds to ECD research
• Hosting informational booths about Erdheim-Chester Disease at the tournament
• Organizing a special exhibition match to raise awareness for rare diseases
• Featuring stories of athletes affected by rare diseases during the event

By bridging the gap between competitive sports and rare disease advocacy, events like the ECD Capital Classic could play an even more significant role in supporting communities beyond the lacrosse field.

The Future of ECD Research and Support

As awareness of Erdheim-Chester Disease grows, so does the potential for advancements in research and treatment. The efforts of organizations like the ECD Global Alliance, combined with the stories of patients and their families, continue to drive progress in understanding and managing this rare condition.

What does the future hold for ECD research and support? With increased awareness and funding, researchers hope to develop more targeted treatments, improve diagnostic techniques, and ultimately find a cure for Erdheim-Chester Disease. The continued sharing of patient stories and the support of communities, including those in the sports world, will play a crucial role in achieving these goals.

As we look to the future, the stories of ECD patients and the achievements of young athletes at events like the ECD Capital Classic Lacrosse Tournament remind us of the power of perseverance, community, and hope in the face of challenges both on and off the field.

ECD – Extreme Championship Drinking – TSHIRTS NOW AVAILABLE!

a while back i was as usual on a weekend night sitting at in the local tavern

a guy i know stopped in and i got up to shake and say hello

he sat down and we began to shoot the shit.
he mentioned how he was out of work because he got hit by a car he began to ramble on and on, hes a very talkative guy
i would consider this guy a close friend who i would go to war with but id tell him that, he talks too much and he would agree that im right

well he mentioned that he was getting into designing t-shirts
i continued tuning him out and nodding probably
but he began to pique my interest

he didnt tell me much about his designs and even if he did, he could only describe them which wouldnt mean much
but he said how he is committed to quality and the shirts he makes have to be on certain material and how he looks over his screenprinters shoulder when they are working
how he searched until he found a screenprinter that would let him in their shop and let him be involved in the QC process

i stopped tuning him out
then he was showing me his shirt (a shirt he bought at a store) and why he liked the quailty
i had a three floyds shirt on and he was like ‘stand up’
he closely examined the graphics and then wanted to see the tag to see what brand of t-shirt it was and what the materials were

at this point his main design which he had sold a bunch of is a river grove shirt

a few of you are aware of a music video and song i put together called RG Rap
this has sparked a large interest in hometown pride and shit like this is huge

well we kept talking after that night and i began to invest in this business to see what we could do
i purchased the domain name and built a website http://www. truevillainclothing.com
i had a load of stickers made

we kicked around probably 10 new designs in the coming weeks and by good friday we had 3 new designs
i played a hiphop show on good friday at the local tavern and he had a table set up in the back
i was wearing my own shit on stage and representing it hard

we rolled around to a few bars that night stretching until 4am and sold 20 shirts or so in a night
im sure that sounds like small beans to people, im not saying it isnt, espicaly since the first run of a shirt is always low profit margin (costs involved in setting up the screens is expensive) but i couldnt be more proud

i had made a cash investment which has since been repaid and deposited into my bank account
i ate the cost on the stickers, domain name and i built and host the site for free
it became stressful after a while because within a month of our initial conversation it was already time to restart the process
make 3 more new designs, invest more cash, print them all and then find a venue (like a hiphop show) where we can create buzz

i began to walk away a bit from the whole deal though i have not cut ties

in the end i can walk into any of a few local tavern and will likely see someone rocking my shit
with a true villain logo sported proudly on their chest
im very proud of what we put together in a short amount of time, i dare anyone on here to make a business investment and collaborate with someone to start something similar and see where it goes

ECD on the other hand is something i take very seriously so i dont talk about it much on here besides in code
it is something that i do not want to have people talking about their own examples of ECD since i dont think that besides people that i know and have seen engage in such activity have any idea what it means
that being said an ECD shirt would be killer and a parody of the ECW shirt is ingenius

we have our own screenprinter who is a local person that has a very expensive setup in their home
we do not work with a factory or something like that

we source our shirts from another local business that deals in just ‘generic’ clothing which is by and large made for such uses (being printed)

good friday is one of the best nights of my entire life
i spit 100s of bars over 10 songs written by my own hand at a tavern that is 4 doors down from my house
i saw people reprenting my city while i represented my city
to be able to say ‘would you like to buy a shirt? THIS IS MY CLOTHING LINE’ is a pretty good feeling
i dont know if we will do serious work togehter again, though im sure the brand will continue with or without me

there are some RGOG hoodies in existance which will be added to the site soon, a 3rd party (another close friend) made an investment to make this happen, they are in limited numbers now and i dont even have one but will soon and they will be for sale soon
feel free to check out the site and buy a shirt and thank you for your interest in true villain clothing

East Coast Destruction?

By Brian Tunney | Feb 9, 2009

Easy-D?

BMX hasn’t heard much from ECD, AKA East Coast Destruction in a few years now. But it looks like ECD is back in business. I mean, what did we learn all these years ago? It’s that “ECD will never die.” And sure enough, they’re staying true to their word.

As far as I can tell, ECD started out a pretty long time ago in the Bethlehem, PA area. There have been more than a few quiet periods in between, but ECD’s influence was felt far and wide in BMX; from the infamous ‘Bethlehem Browns’ t-shirt that everyone and their mother was wearing around the year 2000 to the two-hour epic ECD 4: The Next Beginning, ECD has definitely left an indelible mark on BMX.

Unfortunately, after the events of 9/11, the term “East Coast Destruction,” along with ECD’s bullet logo, probably rubbed some people the wrong way, but hopefully we as a culture have moved past those sensitivities enough to allow ECD to receive packages in the mail without any visits from the FBI. No team has been announced as of yet, and no plans have been announced for what ECD will manufacture, but I’d be fine as wine if there were some new ECD t-shirts popping up with the newly designed ‘Easy D’ logo (pictured above. ) Maybe bring back the B-town Browns model while you’re at it. And definitely get Butcher to ride for and manage the team. But that’s all I’ll say.

Here’s the good word from the newly christened ECD site: “We are one of the original, underground, BMX clothing companies dating back to the fall of 1990. A true rider-owned company, who has never been about making the dollar, but about supporting the local scenes, its riders, keepin’ our flow going, and staying real. We have strong roots, and a long history in the bmx community. From the riding, progression of the sport, trends, partying, trails, contests, stunts, antics, trouble-making, whatever, we have truly been there, done that, and lived it all. If you don’t know by now, well , it’s about time you learned.” And welcome back boys.
– Brian Tunney

Edit: Looks like ECD isn’t the only B-town area based clothing company that’s been resurrected in recent weeks. Dead Memory Clothing is also back at it, with Wiz on the team, an online store and more to come. ..

month-by-month basis, St. Louis English Country Dancers is
officially making a blanket declaration: Due to the worldwide
emergency, we’ll have no further dances until you hear otherwise
from us. We hate to say that — our role in life is to have
dances, rather than to not have dances — but events in the
country and the world have made that unsafe for now. When will
we resume? Frankly, we don’t know; we’re very cognizant of the
fact that our chosen activity, dancing, is one of the most
hazardous out there in terms of contagion. So it may be a while.
but we’re going to dance again, sometime, for real.

Stay home and stay safe!

We’ve got T-shirts.
And a Facebook page.

We have a Facebook

page (you need to be logged into
Facebook to see it). Many thanks to Russell for
maintaining it!

And we have
T-shirts! Check out the design here,
and a picture of Russell wearing one is here.

WHAT
IS ENGLISH COUNTRY DANCING?

English country dancing
typically involves lines of men facing lines of women; the
dancers walk patterns with their partners and with other
couples in the set. Our chief dance leader is Peter
Wollenberg; all dances are taught from scratch each
evening. You can attend
with or without a partner.

Beginners are welcome at
all events! Each regular dance evening starts at 7:00 with
a beginners’ workshop so that newcomers can learn the
fundamentals of English country dancing.

The St. Louis English
Country Dancers (Local 1651) are members of the Country
Dance and Song Society, CDSS.

Cecil Sharp

In the early 20th
century, folklorist Cecil Sharp spearheaded the revival of interest in English Country Dancing in the UK and
North America. He founded the
English Folk Dance Society (now the English Folk Dance &
Song Society, or EFDSS),
reconstructed many dances from old notes and manuals,
collected dances and traditional
songs both in England and in the Appalachian region of the USA, and forged a revival that we and
many others are honored to
continue into the 21st century. In celebration of Sharp’s
150th birthday (he was born Nov. 22,
1859), St. Louis English Country Dancers hosted a tribute to Sharp. We asked Dr. John M.
Ramsay, who learned his dancing from
Sharp’s associates, to talk briefly
about Sharp and his work. John’s
remarks may be found here.

SUNCOAST RENEWS ECD PARTNERSHIP FOR 2019!!! – Emerald Coast Dragway

Suncoast Converters, aka SunCoast Performance, a performance oriented transmission & torque converter manufacturing company based out of Mary Esther FL, renews their ECD partnership for 2019 and secures their real estate on the right lane board!  Owner’s Ron & Margo Wolverton have been here for ECD since the reopening and says they’re in for the long haul, helping to provide a bright racing future to the Emerald Coast Dragway.

---

If you’ve been to ECD in the past year you’ve likely seen SunCoast a lot more than just on the right lane board, their ever increasing presence can be found between the engine and driveshaft of many of our successful ECD racers as well as in the pits providing tech support and spares to racers at large events and slinging T-shirts to the fans and temporary tattoos to the kids.  

Most think of SunCoast as just a diesel transmission company but their capabilities far out-reach just providing stuff to the diesel market.  Tyler Lee’s car (left) has a SunCoast Powerglide and Torque Converter combo between the frame rails of his 1967 Chevy II that has been absolutely dominating everything he’s entered at ECD for 2018.

---

Ryan Milliken’s 1966 Chevy II (right) also has and has always had nothing but SunCoast bolted to the back of  the 2500+HP Cummins power plant.  A 12.5″ Zero-Drag billet/bolt up/lockup torque converter transfers power to the big shaft 2 speed SunCoast Th500 that reliably and repeatedly propels the 3400lb leaf spring car to ET’s deep into the 4 second zone at speeds well north of 160mph.

Whether you’re looking for a simple upgrade on your existing glide, a converter re-stall in the converter you’ve already got or all the way to full blown aftermarket case, lockup converter with internal or external dumps to hold whatever you can throw at it, SunCoast has you covered (locally!).

---

If you’re a Street Outlaws or No Prep Kings fan, you’ve probably seen SunCoast on the big screen a lot over the years.  Bobby Ducote (pictured left) has been rocking nothing but SunCoast for a few years now with great success.  Look for Bobby’s latest hot rod in the SunCoast at PRI booth this upcoming December!

SunCoast is located at 631 Anchors Street in Fort Walton Beach, FL.  They can be reached at 800-868-0053 or check them out on the web at SunCoastPerformance.com or on facebook at facebook.com/suncoastperformance.  If you’re local and not taking advantage of everything SunCoast has to offer you, you’re missing out big time!

---

The ECD team would once again like to thank SunCoast for standing behind us for 2019, we look forward to a successful and prosperous year of racing and many years to come.  If you or your business are interested in a partnership with ECD for 2019 please feel free to contact us so we can discuss the many options we have to offer. Packages start at $1500/yr and include an ECD gold card, signage at the track as well as online and the ability to setup as a vendor at any event we have going on to further help promote your business.

90,000 How can an ECD-based tool help?

Mark Zelman, a World Bank specialist who has long collaborated with the Institute’s Education Quality Monitoring Center, regularly teaches at the HSE Institute of Education’s International Summer School on Test Development. This year, Mark led a track on Evidence-Centered Design (ECD), a holistic ideology for the development of assessment tools, which is centered on ensuring the validity of the tool at all stages of its development. Due to the fact that Mark knows Russian, the participants of the summer school had the opportunity to receive information about the ECD directly from a world-class professional.

– Mark, tell us, in which countries are tests already carried out, which are developed in the Evidence-Centered Design technology?

– The point is that tests based on this technology must be redesigned.It makes no sense to translate tests developed on the basis of classical or modern testing theories into ECDs. You need to either redesign the test or create a new tool. This is happening in a small number of countries: in Russia, in America – and, as far as I know, no other such instruments have been created anywhere else. Because this is a new technology, not everyone knows it yet, and it takes a lot of expertise to use it. Even when it was implemented in the largest US test company, ETS, in 2004, it took us almost a year for the test developers to understand what was required of them.

– In the new academic year, the Institute will open the Laboratory of Modern Testing Technologies, in which you will be the scientific supervisor. What would you like to focus on while working in the Laboratory?

– I would like this to be work on issues such as epistemic games, learning progress analysis, intelligent learning systems, linking learning analytics and psychometrics.

– People with quite different backgrounds come to psychometrics: for example, from psychology, sociology, linguistics.You started psychometrics after earning your PhD in Mathematics. What do you think gives the psychometric community a different background for its participants?

– It depends on the definition of psychometrics you are using. I read this somewhere: psychometrics is when you take something that belongs to a person, hold it in your hand and you can predict people their future (laughs). But, of course, this is much more “cool” than what we can actually do.Basically, psychometrics and assessment take information and methods from different fields. Let’s say Evidence-Centered Design is based on the ideas of Tulmin’s philosophy, in addition, it uses principles that have been used in architecture, in computer science, in psychology. Naturally, when a person comes to psychometrics from some other area, he brings into it his own methodology, his view of things. Let’s say in ETS, the R&D department has people who were linguists.And a lot of people who were engineers, like Ledyard Tucker.

– Tell us about your work in Jamaica. What kind of tool is being developed there?

– Jamaica has developed a new educational standard. I am supervising the creation of a grading system for this standard, for various levels and for various purposes. A test of high-order thinking skills, a test of general abilities, non-cognitive skills is being developed, since their development is laid down in the standard. The assessment of higher-order thinking skills should be operationalized by 2019, but other components of the assessment will not yet be operationalized at this point. After finishing work on the instrument, it will need to be developed and supported.

– What will Jamaica benefit from having such a large instrument in the end?

– First, it will enable reliable and valid conclusions to be made about those taking the test. Children will be sent to a specific school that suits them best.Secondly, the tool will help teachers build a learning process that is fully suitable for the child, and will also allow interpreting the educational program. Also, such a tool will allow you to prepare evidence that students are ready for a career and college. The whole system will help to see where the child is on the path to success after graduation, and to develop a system of assistance.

– You led a Russian-language track at the summer school. Many participants had a question: how long have you known Russian, and how difficult was it to learn?

– I don’t learn languages ​​in the usual sense, I just start to speak them like small children speak. They are not told that this is such a word, this is such, this is grammatically correct, and this is incorrect. They just open their mouths and talk. I’m doing the same thing. I studied Russian at school as one of the foreign languages. My school was located near Geneva, and I was taken there for the weekend. There were Russian diplomats at the United Nations with children about my age, and I played with them. This is how I learned Russian, speaking with native speakers of my age. And then they began to teach me, then I began to speak and understand … feel the language.

Heinz Weifenbach – Heinz Weifenbach

Heinz Weifenbach
Born	(1939-07-11) July 11, 1939
Died	February 21, 2015 (02. 21.2015) (75 years)
Nationality	German
profession	Developer
Known	Chairman ECD Iserlohn (1981-91)

Heinz Weifenbach (11 July 1939 – 21 February 2015) was a German executive ice hockey player best known for the 1987 advertising contract he negotiated with his club, the ECD Iserlohn, advertised by Muammar Gaddafi’s Green Book ( German: Das Grüne Buch ) on his shirt.

biography

Weifenbach, a private developer, took over as chairman of ECD Iserlohn in 1981 and held that position until 1991, when the club opened and reformed under the name ECD Sauerland. Under Weifenbach, the club’s greatest success came in 1986, when it reached the playoff semi-finals. In its current incarnation, the club is known as the Iserlohn Roosters and plays in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

After stepping down as chairman in 1991, Weifenbach had little interest in the club or ice hockey, rarely visiting the stadium.However, he was well received when he attended the 40th anniversary of hockey in Iserlohn and the crowd begged him to come out on the ice, calling him by the nickname Big Heinz . His financial activities as club chairman eventually saw him serve a prison sentence, but he, especially in Iserlohn, is still considered the man who tried to keep hockey in the city and therefore still enjoys a good reputation. … Weifenbach privately hired many of the club’s hockey players through 13 different companies, but in many cases did not pay taxes and compulsory social security contributions.For taxes worth more than 2 million marks, he was sentenced to four years in prison in 1993, of which he served 27 months. During his tenure as chairman, he invested a lot of his own money in the club, and the sentencing judge described him as “a hockey freak” ( Eishockey-Verrückter ).

In the last years of his life, Weifenbach suffered from dementia and needed constant care. He died on February 21, 2015.

Green Book

It was rumored that Weifenbach’s club, ECD Iserlohn, was in financial trouble and had been making payments to players out of control for several years.For this reason, a number of players were previously investigated by the German tax office. In the summer of 1987, ECD was repeatedly denied a Bundesliga ice hockey license, and when it was eventually issued, two weeks before the start of the season, it was only because the other nine clubs pushed the German Ice Hockey Federation, DEB . promising that they will not claim compensation if the club withdraws during the season. At the time, the club was reported to owe the US tax department $ 3.4 million.

The Tax Department ultimately demanded taxes, and when they were not received, the club declared insolvent. After that, Weifenbach said that there was no need to panic as he has a sponsor who is ready to support the club with 10 million DM in the coming years. The sponsor was the marketing organization of Gaddafi’s Green Paper , Research and Development Center of Green Paper , and on December 4, 1987, ECD Iserlohn opposed S.B. Rosenheim advertising Green Paper on his website. shirts. The club reportedly received US $ 900,000 for advertising the book on T-shirts and in the arena.

DEB reacted quickly by banning the club using Green Paper as a sponsor shirt on the grounds that religious or political advertising is illegal in German sports. In the next game ECD returned without a sponsor jersey. It was also the club’s last game as the administration withdrew her from the competition.

However, Weifenbach continued to fight for the survival of the club, organizing a flight to Libya for himself and 25 journalists to meet with Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi signed copies of of Green Paper for visitors, but may have known very little about the deal, asking, according to one of the accompanying journalists, what name of the tennis club he was sponsoring.

Weifenbach also referred the case to the internal tribunal DEB, which partially ruled in his favor.The club was allowed to continue its existence now under the new name ECD Sauerland, but not in the Bundesliga. Instead, if he meets certain requirements, he will be allowed to enter the Bundesliga promotion round. In the end, Weifenbach was unable to assemble a new team in time, most of the ECD Iserlohn players left the club due to bankruptcy, and Sauerland was forced to resume play in the Oberlig of the third division.

This romance caused a rift between the Bundesliga clubs and DEB , with some of them advocating a division of the league, which would include Austrian and Italian clubs.After all, seven years later, it did happen when the Deutsche Eishockey Liga was formed, but without any non-German teams.

Weifenbach continued his ties with Libya the following year, when he advertised on cars for the then state-owned Deutsche Post the publishing company he owned, with the company’s only published book being Green Paper , a move his former lawyer said was Ingo Graumann provoked an encroachment on the German government and, as a result, sentenced him to prison.

At least two shirts used against Rosenheim’s , may still survive. One of them was donated by Czech hockey player Robert Simon to the German Museum of Sports and Olympia in Cologne in August 2011. Simon, who played 108 games for Iserlohn , wore the jersey during the game, but had to exchange it back from a collector to be able to donate it to the museum. The second jersey, differing in color combination, is currently on display in the German Ice Hockey Hall of Fame in Augsburg.

Intel’s 90,000 is not entitled to key 3D XPoint memory technology, the court ruled. Micron and Intel convicted of fraud

Recently the Michigan bankruptcy court delivered a verdict in the case we reported about two years ago.Then Micron was accused of illegally stopping the payment of royalties for the patents that gave rise to the 3D XPoint memory. According to the court ruling, Micron and Intel have acted fraudulently and Intel has no rights to key 3D XPoint memory technology.

As you may remember, Intel was reluctant to reveal the secrets of 3D XPoint memory. Intel and Micron introduced 3D XPoint non-volatile memory in 2015, and only a year later, Micron representatives clearly said that the 3D XPoint cell works on the effect of a reversible change in the phase state of matter.In fact, this is a memory of the PRAM (Phase-Change Random Access Memory) type, but based on one specific development, which Micron then and later kept silent about. As it turned out later, Intel and Micron tried to fraudulently seize the rights to this development, but they failed.

This story is long and complicated. Suffice it to say that the foundations of the PRAM non-volatile memory cell were laid by the American inventor Stanford Ovshinsky about 60 years ago. He patented the Ovonic switch, which has been licensed by many companies, including Intel and Micron. The license was administered by Energy Conversion Devices (ECD), created by Ovshinsky.

In 1999, Ovonyx was established to manage the Ovshinsky transfer license, with which Micron signed a license agreement at the same time. Ovonyx had to pay ECD 0.5% of its licensing income. From 2000 to 2012, Ovonyx’s revenue from licensing Ovonic technology was $ 58 million. But in 2012, Ovonyx stops paying. The formal reason for the termination of payments – the ECD company filed for bankruptcy and began to liquidate the business.Interestingly, the influx of Chinese-made solar panels in the United States pushed ECD to bankruptcy, but this has nothing to do with this news. So, a line in the margins.

The ECDL Trust was established to liquidate ECD in 2012. Watch your hands further. In August 2012, ECD sold its Ovonyx shares to Micron. Since July 2015, Micron has become the full owner of Ovonyx. Prior to that, Intel and two Micron executives remained Ovonyx shareholders. At the same time, Micron immediately transferred all Ovonyx patents to a new company – Ovonyx Memory Technology LLC, which happened three days after the announcement of the 3D XPoint memory. All manipulations performed by Micron and Intel since August 2012 were aimed at stopping the royalties from the Ovonyx transition to ECD and becoming the owner of the key 3D XPoint memory technology.

A lawsuit two years ago, in which ECD asks the court to demand from Micron and Intel to renew the license payments stopped in 2012, was resolved just a few days ago. Judge Thomaso J. Tucker of the Michigan State Court denied a number of motions by the litigants and confirmed some of them.Basically, Micron and Intel have acted fraudulently by stopping royalties from ECD, and Intel is not eligible to move Ovonic, a key 3D XPoint memory technology.

PCM junction inventor Stanford Ovshinsky (24.11.1922 – 17.10.2012)

This court decision is unlikely to stop the production of 3D XPoint memory and drives based on it. Actually, the amount of compensation has not yet been approved, and more. So far, we can say with confidence that this fuss will not make the technology and drives on 3D XPoint cheaper.
