Foveon makes photographic light-sensing chips for digital cameras. The X3 direct image sensor is manufactured using a CMOS fabrication process, which is widely employed in the semiconductor industry. The X3 name comes from the three layers of pixels embedded in the silicon, each of which records a different color -- red on the bottom layer, green in the middle, and blue on top. The X3 is found in Polaroid, Sigma, and Toshiba camera models. Co-founded in 1997 by legendary chip engineer Carver Mead, the company is backed by National Semiconductor and Synaptics, among other investors. Foveon was the subject of a book published in 2005, The Silicon Eye, written by famed technology newsletter editor George Gilder.

Colorado Time Systems (CTS) makes electronic display systems for sporting events, including scoreboards and timers for use in arenas, stadiums, and swim meets. The displays flash team-spirit messages like GO TEAM! or MAKE SOME NOISE!, but more importantly, they show such information as the score of a game, the amount of time left in a contest, or scoring marks for an individual competitor. The company's Colorado Display Systems division makes the Olympex line, used in airport flight information displays, highway and transportation system signage, sports-venue displays, and theater marquees.

Fortrend makes equipment for storing and transporting photomasks in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Photomasks, also known as masks or reticles, are the quartz lenses used in optical lithography machines to print circuits onto a silicon wafer. An advanced semiconductor design may call for dozens of masks, so safely handling those masks as they are moved from one lithography system to another is a priority for chip makers. Fortrend was established in 1979 as an engineering consulting firm, then shifted its focus to reticle automation equipment in 1989. The company had a change in management in 2002. Founder and former CEO John M. Rush is the majority shareholder.
