The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns the Company has captured and this allows the Company to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. The Company refers to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID. The Company designs ChromaID scanning devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light.   The Companys first product, the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit, scans and identifies solid surfaces. The Company is marketing this product to customers who are considering licensing the technology. Target markets include, but are not limited to, commercial paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security card, reader, and scanner manufacturers, food processing, and electronic gaming.   The Companys Patents   On August 9, 2011, the Company was issued US Patent No. 7,996,173 B2 entitled Method, Apparatus and Article to Facilitate Distributed Evaluation of Objects Using Electromagnetic Energy, by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks.
