DRAPER, Utah--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: FLXT) [ http://www.flexpoint.com ] today announced that through a joint venture relationship, they have completed the development of a sensor and integration of a housing utilizing the patented Bend Sensor ® for use in multiple seat related applications.
Clark Mower, President of Flexpoint stated, aThe completion of the development of this seat sensor is significant because it provides a universal stock product that will meet the needs of many customers. Previously the Company developed and produced specialized custom sensors for each customera™s application. This is the first of many stock sensors that can be utilized in a wide variety of applications and can be produced in volume which allows for better pricing and availability of the sensor. It will be a great benefit for the Company to have a sensor for the many and varied requests we receive for a robust and accurate seat occupancy detection device. This is the culmination of a significant development effort and should lead to significant recurring revenues as application of this sensor grows. We have a number of customers who have been waiting for completion of the development of this sensor. We are currently finalizing a Joint Venture Agreement which will include ownership of the intellectual properties related to the device. The Joint Venture Agreement is particularly exciting because it brings a significant marketing and sales network for the device and opens additional sales avenues for the sensor. I believe that this is a significant step for the Company and its technology to reach a method of producing and delivering sensors to mass markets.a
