A Simple Introduction of Zybron

Zybron Optical Electronics, Inc. was founded in June 1988 to conduct research and development in modern optical electronic products. Zybron is a minority firm and has obtained 8(a) status since June 1997.

During its first Six years, Zybron was awarded more than $2.5 million contracts from the Air Force and the State of Ohio to conduct research in the areas of optical data storage, fiber communication and digital memory. These awards were:

1988 - 1991, SBIR Phase-I and Phase-II, Contract #: F30602-90-C-0028.
Research area: "High Data Rate Holographic Optical Disk Head".
Result: Completed the contract, delivered the prototype and got Break Through (see Attachment 1).
1990 - 1993, SBIR Phase-I and Phase-II, Contract #: F08630-91-C-0059.
Research area: "High Speed High Density Video Data Memory".
Result: Completed the contract, delivered the prototype and got Break Through (see Attachment 2).
1993 - 1994, Ohio SBIR Bridge Program; the contract was successfully completed.

4. 1994 - 1995, Ohio Edison Research Award; the contract was successfully completed.

In the same period, Zybron had also obtained two research contracts from General Motors and one research contract from Laser Sight:

1993 - 1995, "Smart Engine Sensor for Real Time Engine Pressure, Misfire and Delay fire Monitoring"; the contract was successfully completed and a working prototype was delivered to GM.
1995 - 1996, "Central Lighting System for Car"; the contract was successfully
completed and a working prototype was delivered to GM.
1994 - 1996, "Real Time Eye Tracker for Laser Beam Monitoring in Nearsighted Eye Cornea Reshaping"; the contract was successfully completed and a working prototype was delivered to Laser Sight.

Since 1996, Zybron's main research was concentrating on the development of new Infrared Imaging and Night Vision technologies. Zybron got two contracts from the Air Force and Special Operations Forces. These contracts were:

1996 - 1999, SBIR Phase-I and Phase-II from Air Force, Contract #: F08637-97-C-6014.
Research area: "Hand-held and Helmet-mounted IR imagers Using Uncooled FPAs"
Result: Completed the contract, delivered the prototype, had demonstrations in three countries, and the Air Force had released a Special News nationwide for Zybron's Invention (see Attachment 3).
1999 - 2000, SBIR Phase-I (Phase-II will be awarded soon) from the Special
Operations Forces, Contract #: USZA22-00-P-0006.
Research area: "Common Optical Aperture NIR and LIR Combination System".
Result: Completed the contract, built up the working prototype, and another Break
Through is expected because this system is unique in the world.
Through is expected because this system is unique in the world.
2000 - present, SBIR Phase-I from the Special Operations Forces, Contract #: USZA22-00-P-0029.

Research area: " High Performance Assault Zone Marking System".

Result: Just start, we will complete the contract and deliver the working prototype in ahead of the schedule.

Since 1992, Zybron set forth a dynamic growth in developing, manufacturing, and marketing its unique products. Following an aggressive internally funded 3-year development program, Zybron has developed and is in the process of marketing 6 optical electronic products: (1) EXIT Signs and Traffic Lights using our unique LED chip-on-board technology, (2) High performance Electronic Ballasts for fluorescent and street lamps, (3) Day Night Wireless Motion Recording System for security applications, (4) Digital control system for 4-D movie special effects, (5) Indoor and outdoor LED Large Screens for true color video and television displays, (6) Hand-held and Helmet-mounted uncooled infrared (IR) imaging system for fire fighting and battlefield applications, (7) Satellite two-way communication system with GPS for positioning and tracking, and (8) Helmet-mounted or Rifle-mounted Image Intensifier (I²) and IR combination system,.

Zybron has obtained patents or applied patents for these products.

$3.1 million draft sales contracts have been signed recently, and $3.0 million technology transfer fee from Taiwan will be received very soon.

According to Zybron’s designs, custom parts of these products are manufactured in limited quantities by 4 joint-venture corporations in overseas. The final products are assembled here at Zybron. The main advantages of our products are high efficiency, excellent quality, and low price. All of our products are UL listed and meet all other safety requirements. Both LED EXIT Signs and Electronic Ballasts have been tested and approved by the Dayton Power and Light Company and are displaying in their buildings. The quality and reliability of our products are well recognized by our customers.

Zybron has excellent reputation as a contractor or subcontractor in research and development for high-tech products in the areas of sensor, security, search and rescue, communication, optics, electronics, computer and their combination systems. Following are 12 technologies/products developed by Zybron:

Active and passive infrared imagers for fire fighting and battle field applications --

identifies flames, human bodies and other objects in heavy smoke, dust and darkness

using neural network chip; wireless video and audio link between frontier and rear.

(2) Laser Radar ranging/designating/imaging/tracking combination system -- one system

realizes 4 functions -- for search and rescue, aircraft landing, law enforcement, weapon guidance, and many other applications.

Helmet mounted or Rifle mounted IR and I²combination system -- combining the

advantages of both systems -- for all weather night vision with clear image under

ambient light, darkness, smoke, dust and haze.

Digital control system for 4-D movie special effects -- when a bomb explodes in a 3-

D movie, you will see flash light, hear explosion, feel vibration, smell gun-powder, touch smoke ring, and finally the shake wave will blow you hat off and lift your hair. These unusual touching, smelling and tasting feelings that we give to you are the 4^th dimensional effects.

Optical/cable communication systems and local area networks -- whole system design and maintenance including sensor, computer, hardware, software and components.
LED chip-on-board EXIT Signs -- reduce power from 40 W to 6 W; lifetime 30 yrs.

(7) Electronic ballasts for fluorescent and HID lamps -- save 40% of energy; no flicker;

very low failure rate; and very high performance.

(8) Eye trackers for UV laser nearsighted eye reshaping and handicapped person --

automatically track eye movement and use eye to give commands to computer.

(9) Inexpensive automatic day and night wireless motion recording system -- remotely records human motion or voice on a VCR at an unknown location; eliminates 24-hour video tape review; remote observation through phone and Internet.

(10) LED large screen display for color TV and video -- indoor and outdoor; sizes

available from 0.25 M x 0.25 M to 30 M x 30 M even bigger; true color display.

(11) Traffic lights using our super bright LEDs with battery back-up -- life time 30 yrs;

reduce power consumption 90%; no more traffic jam again during power failure.

(12) Two-way satellite communication system -- positioning and tracking for pipe lines,

ships, air planes, ambulances, tanks, trucks, cars, and even individuals.
