LNGT news: Laser Energetics Invents New Laser Marking Process
9:27a ET October 18, 2007 (PR NewsWire)
Laser Energetics, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LNGT) announces that it has invented a new laser process which encompasses a new way of laser marking substrates (pills, gum, batteries, etc.) of most any type, through its plastic container, or packaging. The Company has filed a patent application in the U.S.
The patent is described as "UV-Visible-IR Multi Wavelength Laser Marking Process". Laser Energetics has long been known for its expertise in high speed laser marking. In fact, laser systems manufactured by the Company are used on a 24/7/365 basis, on production floors, at several Fortune 500 companies. These systems are used for marking microelectronic parts (Surface Mounted Devices) found in most consumer and military products, ranging from cell phones - to missiles.
Robert D. Battis, Chairman and CEO of Laser Energetics, stated, "Laser Energetics has the filed a Patent Application (PCT/US06//015339) with the US Patent office encompassing this new laser marking process. The process works best using LEI's new Alexandrite laser, which delivers IR & UV laser wavelengths. This new marking method will produce the best result using a two laser wavelengths, which marks the part and the package simultaneously."
Battis continued, "The idea is to be able to mark a product that is already packaged, for example, pharmaceutical pills. This new process can help assist in preventing the counterfeiting of parts by marking the true manufacturer of a part on the part and package. The substrate and the package will be marked through a unique confidential process method that can provide information on the point of manufacture, the date of manufacture, and other pertinent info, all at high speeds. This will help enhance quality control, and prevent theft, fraud, and counterfeiting problems. For example, we believe the opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to simultaneously laser mark each and every pill they manufacture, along with the packaging, can prevent fraud, theft, and counterfeiting."
The Company now has a patent pending on its new BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite laser technology and this new patent process. The Company anticipates that it will license the process and produce and sell the laser and optical beam delivery systems for a large number of applications. The Company expects to make additional announcements regarding this patent application and its penetration in the marketplace in the near future.
