Your theory about company silence is consistant with the facts. And they may no longer have a public voice. Ahs is a private company and not accountable to shareholders.If you  search around the Smartpower website, you will find the copyright is 2013. There don't appear to be current updates but all the questions concerning carb, military, etc. have blank links so that information may not yet be available. But notice how closely they are tied to AHS with no link to HTI beyond 2011.
