Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES a. Royalty Commitment - Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) The Company is committed to pay royalties to the State of Israel, through the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”), on proceeds from sales of products in which the IIA participated by way of grants for research and development. No grants were received in 2024 or 2023. Under the terms of the prior IIA grant agreements, the principal value of financial assistance received along with annual interest based on London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is repayable in form of royalties at 3.0% of BNA™ sales. Since the elimination of LIBOR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) subsequently replaced LIBOR as a reference rate of interest for IIA grant agreements. In the case of lack of commercial feasibility of the project that was financed using the grant, the Company is not obligated to pay any royalty. The Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome of the commercialization of the technology and considers the liability to be contingent upon generation of sales, hence no liability has been recognized as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The contingent liability amounts to $5,702 (estimated) and $5,625 for September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 respectively. Sale of the technology developed utilizing the grants from IIA is restricted and is subject to IIA’s approval. b. Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to various claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business from time to time. After consulting with counsel, the Company is not aware of any currently pending litigation for which it believes the outcome could have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position. | NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
