Once again, we bring you a compilation of various news items about the various LENR companies since our October 11 compilation.

Mainstream news sources are indicated with the yellow highlight.

I've added the parenthetical numbers at the beginning to indicate the number of stories catalogued and number of mainstream stories among those.

LENR Companies

Rossi, Leonardo Corp - E-Cat
- Technology
  - Turbine Trials With The Hot Cat To Start In a Few Months - Just 6 months ago, the Hot Cat was not even on the radar of those following the development of Andrea Rossi's LENR studies. Back then, 1 MW industrial plant was in certification progress, and we expected the domestic E-Cat to be released by 2013. Well, the domestic E-Cat is still in certification tests, and Rossi reminds us that he has no control of the proceedings. Certification is harder on domestic equipment that will be handled by the untrained general public. (ECatReport; October 13, 2012)
  - Self Sustain Profile of Hot Cat - Andrea Rossi has made some interesting comments lately in response to questions regarding the self-sustain activity in the Hot Cat. Here are the Q & As 1) Is it true? 218 consecutive hours in ssm? 2) If not true, how long are the ssm event durations? 3) Does the Hot-Cat still require one hour power, one hour ssm segments?.. (E-CatWorld; October 18, 2012)
    - Hot Cat Aces Self-Sustained Mode - The Hot Cat, developed by Andrea Rossi, just completed a rigorous test in which it has run for 218 consecutive hours in self sustained mode. What does this mean, exactly, to followers of the alternative energy source from the E-Cat? (ECatReport; October 16, 2012)
  - Rossi: ecat may Generate Electricity Next Year - Andrea Rossi has stated that he is close to being able to generate electricity with his "hot" e-cat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device. That means the cold fusion device would be able to heat water to a temperature to make steam to run a turbine that would generate electricity. (EnergyCatalyzer3; October 14, 2012)
- October 12 Conference in Pordenone -- Reports
  - Penon High-Temperature E-Cat Test Results Posted - Andrea Rossi, the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer, has shared the results of an extended test of a high temperature module. If the results are verified by the group of third party scientists working towards validating the technology, it could mean the "hot cat" is a true breakthrough with huge implications for all of human civilization.
