COLOR KINETICS ANNOUNCES TWO NEW PATENTS
Boston, MA - April 15, 2004 - Color Kinetics Incorporated, a pioneer in the design, manufacture, marketing and licensing of intelligent solid-state lighting systems, today announced that it has been issued two new U.S. patents.
U.S. patent number 6,717,376 is a utility patent covering Automotive Information Systems that, in part, relates to color-controllable automotive lighting systems. This includes the application of LEDs in color and dimmer-controlled systems used to customize the look and feel of a vehicle, as well as feedback-controlled lighting systems that tailor the lighting conditions based on information from sensors. For example, a driver could use this technology to customize the color and intensity of a car's dashboard or instrument lighting, or to use sensor feedback to convey information, such as the car's temperature, through color.
U.S. patent number 6,720,745 is a utility patent covering a Data Delivery Track. The patent relates to an LED lighting system where the lighting control signals are communicated through a light track. This facilitates designs and installations that call for intelligent LED illumination in a traditional track lighting scheme. The data used to control the LED-based lights on the track may be communicated through the track itself.
