300:(to EngineerMentor) The company was founded by three engineers, Ryan Tseng, Ashish Gupta, and Henoch Senbetta while they were at the University of Florida (in several of the cited articles, you'll notice that the company is called a "UF spinoff"). Upon graduation the company leveraged the University to continue R&D under the guidance of Dr. Jenshan Lin. Ryan pursued his MBA at MIT, Henoch pursued consulting at Deloitte, and Ashish a job at Anheiser Busch. Over the last two years, the three reunited and continued pursuit of the venture, securing funding and hiring a CEO, Rahul Razdan, and a team of engineers. Also, for the record, Henoch received his degree in Industrial Engineering at UF Class of 2006 (this is publicly available information). Also, the comment I removed was not referenced and negative/biased in tone - if it were cited, I would not have done so. Also, my apologies - I have not had a chance to update my social networking sites in some time. I will do so as soon as I get a free moment. —

Linkedin account again, the other co-founder/VP technology Ashish Gupta joined WiPower only in June 2008. How can he be a co-founded when he joined the company in 2008 when it was founded in 2004? Finally, what has "IT Team Lead for
Windows and Cisco Infrastructure and systems for the Manufacturing Environment." got to do with wireless power technology. Based on my 20 years of engineering experience, it seems that the company is merely using Knowledge (XXG) as a sales tool and the information provided are not accurate which defeats the spirit of Knowledge (XXG). EngineerMentor
311:(to all) My intentions here are clear - to set the foundation for others to provide accurate, cited information about wireless power systems and WiPower as a company. Again, if my intentions were otherwise, I could have easily done so with a more discrete username. I'm a firm believer in Knowledge (XXG) as a source of reliable and factual information, and encourage others to add such content to the WiPower page. —

The intellectual property I am referring to is the "Frost & Sullivan Award" that WiPower is referencing in the history section of WiPower's
Knowledge (XXG) page and in the Flordia Business Journal (reference #10 in WiPower's reference section.) That publication is being edited by their Publisher,

The Award being referred to comes from findings of primary, analyst research conducted by Frost & Sullivan. The research was fully funded, conducted, and is owned by Frost & Sullivan as intellectual property (business intelligence research) that Frost & Sullivan sells to our subscribers

Since WiPower's CEO Ryan Tseng declined to enter into the license agreement with us, we also ask that any reference to Frost & Sullivan, our research, Awards, consulting, or any other intellectual property be removed from WiPower's

We do not allow companies to leverage our research or its findings in the general public without a license agreement, this is something Mr. Ryan Tseng, WiPower's CEO, declined to do. Yet, he and his

As noted previously, Ryan Tseng was made aware of this and has chosen to ignore. I tried contacting Mr. Senbetta to also discuss but was unable to find contact details for him. All messages left for Mr. Tseng after Dec. 19th 2008 have not been returned. I have records of my e-mails and calls to

Hsenbetta and DatWiPower twice. Comparing a wireless power system with a wired system is definitely biased. In addition, based on Henoch Sebetta Linkedin account he is still with Deloitte and has no engineering experienced. Based on their

As of this morning, I contaced Kevin
Ireland who is the publisher of that publication and they will be removing any reference to a Frost & Sullivan Award to WiPower from their article until such time that WiPower enters into a license agreement with Frost & Sullivan to allow the public

Again, I am not asking that his
Knowledge (XXG) page be removed, or that they be banned, only that the one statement about the Frost & Sullivan Award be removed and not allowed to be displayed until WiPower and Frost & Sullivan can enter into a legal license agreement for use of our

Hello Mr. Senbetta. I would be more then happy to discuss this with you but have never been able to find a contact number for you. If you are available at the WiPower main phone line I can call you to discuss. Or if you want to post a phone number on your talk page I can call you directly.

In the WiPower reference section, specifically reference #10 pointing to the
Business Report publication for North Central Florida also references Frost & Sullivan's information as provided by WiPower's CEO, Ryan Tseng, without Frost & Sullivan's permission.

By listing this on their
