Carco to Sell Rain/Frost/Ice Sensor IP Portfolio; Low-Cost, High-Performance Sensors Ideal for Refrigeration, Auto, Aircraft Apps.RENO, Nev. -- IpAuctions Inc. announces it will offer for sale the complete worldwide patent portfolio covering Carco Pty Ltd. industry-standard Ice and Liquid Detector sensing technology (see U.S. patent 5,796,106) beginning Sept. 1, 2006. The technology is a much smaller, less expensive and higher performance improvement to the company's original rain sensor technology. Embodied in standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. semiconductor technology, the technology employs NIR NIR Near Infrared NIR National Inventory Report NIR National Identity Register (UK) NIR Near-Infrared Reflectance NIR Non-Ionizing Radiation NIR Net International Reserves NIR National Internet Registry NIR Northern Ireland Railways (near infra-red) self-cleaning sensors to discriminate instantly between solids, liquids and gases on a glass or plastic sensing surface, detecting change of state between ice and water and measuring frost thickness from less than 0.01mm to more than 5mm. The Carco technology can be deployed in a variety of miniaturized packages for refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. , aerospace, automotive and general environmental sensor applications. Beyond simple liquid-solid discrimination, the technology is among the smallest, lowest cost sensing techniques for rain, frost, snow, ice, moisture, dust, temperature and ambient light. "The sheer size of the addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be markets for this technology is simply enormous," noted James Helbig of IP Resources, an IP valuation and licensing firm. "Being able to acquire and exploit exclusive worldwide rights to a clearly superior technology, whether for one or all three major fields of use, represents a remarkable opportunity for sensor, component, and other companies operating in these markets."
