As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average remaining life of our intangible assets, consisting entirely of patents, was approximately 2.3 years. Amortization of patents has been classified as research and development expense in the accompanying statement of operations.  Estimated aggregate amortization expense based on current intangibles for the next three years is expected to be as follows: $112,000 in 2013, $58,000 in 2014, and $19,000 in 2015.

Warranty costs:

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized, generally for one year. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure.  Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required and could be material.  Our warranty liability is included as a component of accrued expenses.  At the end of each reporting period we revise our estimated warranty liability based on these factors.

A reconciliation of the changes in our estimated warranty liability is as follows:
