ONTC News Onteco Corporation President Releases Letter to Shareholders, ONTC NexSense Technology

NexPhase Lighting, Inc. continues to make steady progress toward the development of escalating sales revenue. Also important, it continues to draw Lighting Industry top-of-mind awareness for its state-of-the-art, patented technology, even to the extent that some major lighting manufacturers are interested in using our technology in their own LED products, or having us build private label product for them. Clearly, it is in our interest to pursue such opportunities since they allow us to rapidly broaden our market footprint. It is worth noting that LED today is less than 5% of the commercial lighting market, but is forecasted to represent over 50% within a few years. The situation is akin to what a "disruptive technological change" did to the computer industry in the 1980's – a change similar in impact in terms of large across-the-board end-user cost reductions and accelerated efficiencies. We believe NexPhase is at the forefront of such technologies, while it continues to develop its new, ever-expanding product portfolio.


NexSense Technology



NexPhase Lighting uses only the highest quality products in our fixtures.  This gives us the ability to provide our customers with a six year or 50,000 hour warranty on our fixtures.  From the use of Cree LEDs to our attention to photo-metrics and thermal management, you get only the highest quality, most reliable products from NexPhase Lighting!
Our patent pending “NexSense” technology gives our customers an additional edge in lighting management and in our customer’s Return on Investment (ROI).  Incorporated into many of our fixture designs you’ll find advanced sensory features that expand your energy savings beyond just the use of energy saving LEDs.  These features include the following:
PROXIMITY SENSING – The most energy saving light fixture available is one that is not on.  Building on this, the NexPhase Proximity Sensor monitors movement within a given space and either dims or shuts the lights off if no movement have been sensed within a given period of time (configurable by the user).
AMBIENT LIGHT SENSING – This sensor takes advantage of the Sun free light (energy).  Once the occupant of an office sets the light level they like within their space, this sensor monitors the light level throughout the day.  If more light comes into the office as the sun rises, the sensing system reduces the amount of light being given off by the fixture to ensure the light level within the space remains the same.  The reverse is also true.  If storm clouds move in and block the sunlight that was previously coming into the space, the sensing system increases the amount of light from the fixture (up to the maximum output).
Our fixtures can be controlled through a variety of means.  Permissions and the types of controls authorized are assigned during set-up.  Fixtures, or groups of fixtures can be controlled via a hand-held remote control, through any smart phone (i.e. iPhone), or via the computer.
Our fixtures are intelligent.  They incorporate a MESH Networking technology which allows the fixtures to communicate with each other, wirelessly.  The set-up and management of our fixtures allow from the combining of multiple fixtures into a given group… Specific offices, hallways, stairwells, conference rooms, etc.

Further, the law allows the cultivation of 12 immature or 6 mature plants for medicinal use.



In 2000, the voters of the State of Colorado ratified amendment 20, giving its doctors and citizens the right to choose cannabis as a treatment drug for a myriad of medical conditions such as Cancer, AIDS or glaucoma as well as maladies such as nausea, muscle spasms and chronic pain.

Apple loses another unreleased iPhone (exclusive) OOOPS!

http://bit.ly/oIP7k9

In a bizarre repeat of a high-profile incident last year, an Apple employee once again appears to have lost an unreleased iPhone in a bar, CNET has learned.

The errant iPhone, which went missing in San Francisco's Mission district in late July, sparked a scramble by Apple security to recover the device over the next few days, according to a source familiar with the investigation.



Last year, an iPhone 4 prototype was bought by a gadget blog that paid $5,000 in cash. This year's lost phone seems to have taken a more mundane path: it was taken from a Mexican restaurant and bar and may have been sold on Craigslist for $200. Still unclear are details about the device, what version of the iOS operating system it was running, and what it looks like.



While Apple has not publicly announced any plans for future phones, unconfirmed reports in the last few weeks suggest the launch date for the iPhone 5 is likely to be in early October. Other reports from Taiwan have set the date at September or October. (See CNET's iPhone 5 rumor roundup.)
