August 25, 2004... BOSTON, Mass. USA -- Color Kinetics Incorporated (Nasdaq: CLRK), a pioneer in the design, marketing and licensing of intelligent solid-state lighting systems and technologies, today announced the issuance of a US patent Relating to a miniaturized, integrated, intelligent solid-state string light, respective individual LED nodes in a string configuration have the capability to be independently controlled.
Issued on August 17, 2004, US patent number 6,777,891 relates to part to technology that is implemented in Chromasic(TM), the companys proprietary integrated circuit that allows a reduction in the cost, size, weight, and complexity of systems One commercial, multi-purpose, intelligent solid-state string light comprised of individually controllable tri-color LED nodes. By refining control Down to the singular LED level, this technology enables complex and intricately designed effects that may span many thousands of nodes -- making previously unattainable or cost-prohibitive lighting designs possible.
This latest US patent covers groundbreaking technology that opens up completely new applications of intelligent solid-state lighting, including the generation of animated effects and video-driven light shows, said Dr. Ihor Lys, CTO of Color Kinetics and one of the patents named inventors The coverage of this invention brings exciting potential for further product development and OEM and licensing opportunities.
Products that leverage this proprietary technology are used in a wide variety of applications today, including the lighting of exterior facades, stage and television sets, hospitality venues, and exhibits and displays. For example, the technology powers Soft-LED(TM), a Light drapery for entertainment applications developed by Main Light Industries, a Color Kinetics OEM customer.
Color Kinetics now holds 32 issued patents and has more than 120 patent applications pending that range from core technology and products to high-level control systems, complete lighting systems, applications and methods of use.

With the increasing demand for environmentally friendly electronic products, halogen-free PCBs are becoming more and more popular because they are constructed of materials that are free of halogen. The dielectric constant, dissipation factor and moisture diffusivity of materials that are described as halogen-free are different from those employed in traditional printed circuit boards. Hence, if the product you're engaged in requires to be environmental-friendly, Halogen-free PCBs will be your ideal choices.
