Management Changes    
Subsequent Event, Description   Management Changes On December 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company received a letter of resignation from Mr. Kiran Patankar, pursuant to which Mr. Patankar resigned as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company effective January 20, 2016. Mr. Patankar claimed in his letter to the Board that his resignation was for “good reason” as set forth in Mr. Patankar’s employment agreement dated August 28, 2015. As such, Mr. Patankar would be owed severance payments by the Company as set forth in the agreement. The Company’s Board disagrees with Mr. Patankar’s characterization of the resignation. On January 19, 2016, the Board dismissed effective immediately Mr. Kiran Patankar as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. No amounts have been accrued in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2015 for severance benefits or claims. Effective January 19, 2016, the Board accepted the resignation of Mr. Randal Hardy as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In connection with Mr. Hardy’s resignation, Mr. Hardy has agreed to waive his rights to severance under his employment agreement in exchange for the issuance of 100,000 Stock Units (or equivalent equity securities) of the Company and continuation of his health benefits under the terms of his former employment agreement. Both Mr. Hardy and the Company have agreed to waive any and all claims they have against each other in relation to Mr. Hardy’s employment as Chief Financial Officer and his resignation from that office. Effective January 19, 2016, the Board appointed Mr. Steven A. Osterberg to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Mr. Osterberg’s compensation will not be altered or amended in relation to his appointment as President & CEO or as a director.
