  1. In light of recent advances in deep sub-electron read noise image sensors, seen at IISW 2015 and since, I think the competitive position for this technology may be eroding rapidly. Perhaps I have missed something but I thought the main story was about low read noise using multiple non-destructive reads. I am sure Pixpolar can enlighten us.
