Subsequent Events [Text Block] | 12. Subsequent Events On May 8, 2015, the Company negotiated and executed an amendment with holders representing more than two-thirds of its June 2013, July 2013, and December 2013 warrants to eliminate certain down-round price protection features included in these warrants agreements. As a result of this amendment and subject to the Company authorizing sufficient shares of common stock to allow for their exercise, the June 2013, July 2013 and December 2013 warrants will be reclassified from liability instruments to equity instruments as of the amendment date.
