Significant Customers And Contingencies [Abstract]
Significant Customers And Contingencies	(8) Significant Customers and Contingencies Sales to two customers constituted approximately 53% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and 55% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Amounts included in accounts receivable on September 30, 2011 relating to these two customers were approximately $286,000 and $249,000, respectively. Revenue from these two customers constituted approximately 63% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 66% and 8%, respectively, of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We currently have supply agreements with BASF Corporation ("BASF"), our largest customer, that have contingencies outlined which could potentially result in the license of technology and/or the sale of production equipment, thus potentially providing capacity sufficient to meet the customer's production needs, from the Company to the customer, if triggered by our failure to meet certain obligations and/or certain financial condition covenants. The financial condition covenants in one of our supply agreements with BASF would "trigger" a technology transfer right (license and, optionally, an equipment sale) in the event (a) that earnings of our twelve month period ending with its most recently published quarterly financial statements are less than zero and our cash, cash equivalents and certain investments are less than $2,000,000, or (b) of an acceleration of any debt maturity having a principal amount of more than $10,000,000. Our supply agreements with BASF also "trigger" a technology transfer right in the event of our insolvency, as further defined within the agreements. In the event of an equipment sale, upon incurring a triggering event, the equipment would be sold to the customer at the greater of 30% of the original book value of such equipment, and any associated upgrades to it, or 115% of the equipment's net book value. We believe that we have sufficient cash, investment balances and line of credit access (See Liquidity and Capital Resources in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a further discussion) to avoid the first triggering event under one of the supply agreements with BASF for the rest of 2011 and into 2012. If a triggering event were to occur and BASF elected to proceed with the license and related equipment sale mentioned above, the Company would receive royalty payments from this customer for products sold using the Company's technology; however, we would lose both significant revenue and the ability to generate significant revenue to replace that which was lost in the near term. Replacement of necessary equipment that could be purchased and removed by the customer pursuant to this triggering event could take in excess of twelve months. Any additional capital outlays required to rebuild capacity would probably be greater than the proceeds from the purchase of the assets as dictated by our agreement with the customer. Similar consequences would occur if we were determined to have materially breached certain other provisions of the supply agreement with BASF. Any such event would also likely result in the loss of many of our key staff and line employees due to economic realities. We believe that our employees are a critical component of our success and could be difficult to replace them quickly. Given the occurrence of any such event, we might not be able to hire and retain skilled employees given the stigma relating to such an event and its impact on us.
