DALSA Licenses CMOS Image Sensor Technology From Philips.WATERLOO, Ontario Coordinates: Waterloo is a city in Ontario, Canada. It is the smallest of the three cities in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, and is adjacent to the larger city of Kitchener. -- DALSA Corporation (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension :DSA (1) (Directory Server Agent) An X.500 program that looks up the address of a recipient in a Directory Information Base (DIB), also known as white pages. It accepts requests from the Directory User Agent (DUA) counterpart in the workstation. ), an international high performance semiconductor and electronics company, today announced the signing of a 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. Technology License Agreement with Royal Philips Electronics N.V. This agreement provides DALSA with a license to use Philips patent rights, know-how, and product and prototype device designs relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc CMOS Imaging Technology. This agreement is a significant step in DALSA's Strategy for Growth in its Digital Imaging division. Following the announcement of DALSA's new CMOS Business Unit in early 2005, this access to Philips' CMOS technology will immediately provide DALSA's expanded CMOS group with an even stronger base from which to launch its new products. Initial focus for the CMOS group, and for the application of this licensed Intellectual Property, will be in the professional and high volume industrial markets. The value to DALSA of this access to CMOS IP is enhanced by the company's recent hiring of several key scientists and engineers at its Eindhoven, NL, location, all of whom participated in the development of the licensed IP. Savvas Chamberlain, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of DALSA Corporation, commented "I am very pleased to have access to Philips' world-leading CMOS technology for image sensor An image sensor is a device that converts a visual image to an electric signal. It is used chiefly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is usually an array of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors such as active-pixel sensors. products, and to bring on board the team that helped develop it. This will allow us to make use of the CMOS technology and product designs almost immediately and well into the future. Furthermore, these new additions add greatly to our existing CMOS technology portfolio and complement the first class CMOS team we have in Waterloo, as we strive to address exciting new markets." Ruud Peters, CEO of Philips Intellectual Property and Standards added "we are excited to share our CMOS imaging technology with DALSA and to see it being used in applications and markets beyond Philips' own scope."
