Cold Weather Battle
Gear for US Military
SEATTLE, WA – July 4, 2011 – Energy Integration Technologies (EIT)
has initiated discussions with US military contractors to develop a
new generation of cold weather battle gear for the troops. EIT has a
rich history of creating cold weather military apparel utilizing
EIT’s patented Aevex heating panel technology.
Our soldiers face extreme temperatures and weather conditions all
over the globe, explained Wylie Moreshead, Chief Technology Officer
at Energy Integration Technologies. Below freezing temperatures are
commonplace in Afghanistan and even in Iraq. Temperatures at US
military bases in areas such as Alaska and Greenland drop to -20 to
-30°F every year. US Special Forces teams deploy parachutes at
altitudes as high as 27,000 feet, facing temperatures around -50°F.
Aevex technology protects our soldiers from frostbite and helps them
to maintain optimal dexterity and reflexes in extreme temperatures.
EIT focuses on removing environmental barriers and allowing our
nation’s war fighters to focus on their mission objectives while
optimizing their performance and safety.
We are excited by the confidence the US Military has placed in EIT
and our heating designs said Dirk Tyler, Managing Director of
Kinaptic, LLC, owner of the proprietary technology utilized by EIT.
As we continue to develop applications and additional patents around
our battery panel technology it is invaluable to have partners like
EIT to deploy them in well designed products.
Energy Integration Technologies is a recognized world leader in the
development and commercialization of integrated, rechargeable
heating and lighting panels. EIT's Aevex heating panels are used by
the technical garment industry to bring rechargeable heating to
today's advanced technical garments Contact AJ Fischer at (206)

Energy Integration
Technologies and Kinaptic, LLC to further develop their existing
intellectual property portfolio around thin, flexible self-powered
panels that produce light
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA – Jan. 6, 2011 – Energy Integration
Technologies and Kinaptic, LLC have announced today the decision to
further develop their existing intellectual property portfolio
around thin, flexible self-powered panels that produce light.
Self-powered lighting development will initially center on lighting
panel systems for large-scale integration into new and existing
commercial buildings, but additional applications are under
consideration. These panel systems will produce highly efficient
diffused OLED light and be able to peak shave with their integrated
rechargeable battery systems when electricity prices are high as
well as providing distributed back-up lighting in the event of grid
failures.
Dirk Tyler, Managing Director at Kinaptic, LLC said, "Our objective
is to develop this technology ourselves although, given the interest
we’ve received from the market, we are open to joint venture
opportunities and perhaps even licensing. With the general
illumination market estimated at $2.5 billion and smart grid
technologies becoming more and more prevalent, we feel our patented
technology platform is uniquely positioned to deliver these
commercialized innovations."
The lighting panels will utilize hybridized swarm intelligence and
communicate over a mesh power line network consisting of the
existing electrical infrastructure to dynamically adjust their
lighting and peak shaving operations. These combined innovations
will achieve the next level of lighting efficiency.
"We are eager to begin development and prototyping of this next
generation technology", said Wylie Moreshead, Chief Technology
Officer at Energy Integration Technologies. "Our current technology
is highly suited to this embodiment and the recent advances in OLED
and battery technology have made our platform especially compelling
in a landscape of rising energy prices and potential security
concerns associated with the electric grid."
Energy Integration Technologies is a recognized world leader in the
development and commercialization of integrated, rechargeable
heating and lighting panels. EIT's Aevex heating panels are used by
the technical garment industry to bring rechargeable heating to
today's advanced technical garments. EIT's broad patent portfolio
encompasses a wide range of applications and enhanced capabilities.

Aevex® Intelligent Heat™ Receives “Popular
Science” Top Tech Award for
Best of What’s New 2008: Recreation
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA – Dec. 1, 2008 – Aevex®
Intelligent Heat™, the world’s most advanced apparel heating
technology created by Energy Integration Technologies (EIT), was
recognized by “Popular Science” in its annual Top Tech Awards issue
as the Best of What’s New 2008 in Recreation. Aevex integrates all
necessary technology into a single panel that is sewn into apparel
like an extra layer of fabric. These panels are light, ultra-thin,
and flexible, so they virtually disappear inside your apparel. With
“Intelligent Heat”, Aevex® thinks for you, automatically providing
just the right amount of heat where you need it, when you need it.
When a part of your body gets cold, the Aevex® panel automatically
increases the production of heat at that specific area. As your cold
spot warms to a comfortable temperature, Aevex® rapidly redirects
power to other cooler parts of your body. This localized
micro-regulation minimizes energy use so that a comfortable, toasty
temperature can be maintained for a very long time.
“Relying on conventional fabrics and insulation to keep you warm can
be tricky and often impossible,” said AJ Fischer, co-founder of
Energy Integration Technologies. “We challenged ourselves to find a
better solution and created Aevex® to optimize both heat and
comfort. It’s truly an honor to receive this recognition from
‘Popular Science,’ and we’re excited to see our vision for the
future of heated apparel become a reality.”
Aevex® is currently available in Mountain Hardwear’s Red Savina
gloves and Outdoor Research’s PrimoVolta and PrimaVolta gloves. For

lithium batteries to provide four to six hours of heavenly heat.
Available in men's and women's models, the stylish glove has a
goatskin leather Velcro strap on the gauntlet that houses the on/off
switch and charging portal. The shell combines water-resistant indo
goat and 550D Cordura nylon with goatskin reinforcements on the palm
