John
Janning next to his stone in “Walk-of-Fame”.
In Dayton’s historic
“Walk-of-Fame”, 83 are honored including: Wilbur & Orville Wright
(airplane); Charles F. Kettering (self-starter, fast dry paint, etc.); Ermal
Fraze (Pop-top can); William Lear (Learjet); Milton Caniff (Comic artist –
Terry & the Pirates, etc); Hans Von Ohain (Jet engine); Jonathan Winters
(actor); Thomas Midgely (leaded gasoline, Freon); Loren M. Berry (Yellow
pages); Martin Sheen (actor, playwright), etc.
John is honored to be included with such talent.
On November 7, 2008,
John was enshrined into the Engineers and Scientists Hall of Fame. Of the 50 Enshrinees
since 1982, nine have been awarded the Nobel Prize. This is a huge honor bestowed on John. Earlier, in June 2008, John received the
First Annual Joseph Desch Award. Mr. Desch is
credited in helping crack the German code in early 1942 – after the Germans
sunk 216 of our ships off the east coast in the first three months of 1942.
JLJ, Inc. is an invent-for-hire company founded
in 1989 to assist companies in developing new products or finding solutions to
existing problems. President & Chief
Scientist is John L. Janning, holder of 70 U.S.
patents + 11 pending plus over 250 worldwide.
John is also a motivational speaker on the subject of creativity and
imagination. John is the inventor of the
liquid crystal molecular alignment invention which perfected the liquid crystal
display and made possible the large scale manufacturing of LCD's back in the
early 70's. (See the article on “Liquid
Crystals” in the Spring 2002 issue of Invention & Technology magazine –
published by Forbes). He is also the
inventor of the thermal printing wafer - used in all thermal fax machines
around the world today and at many retail store checkouts. He holds a number of patents in plasma
display technology.
He is listed in Who’s Who in the World; Who’s Who
in America;
Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and Who’s Who in the Midwest.

One of his latest inventions is the Staylit®
Christmas light set. This product is
being sold in some of the largest retail chains in the country. They are also available in Canada,
England, Scotland
and Northern Ireland.
Staylit® Christmas
Lights and Pre-Lighted Trees– “STAY
LIT
- ALWAYS!”
ONLY Staylit® light strings come with a LIFETIME
GUARANTEE – and
Staylit® pre-lit trees have a 10-year guarantee!!!!
(No one else does that!)
Never worry about an entire
strand of lights going out again or having to climb up a ladder to find that
one bulb that is causing the entire strand of lights to go out!
A hundred years from now, a Staylit® Christmas light string will never
have gone out. Yes, individual bulbs may
burn out from time to time but the string will never go out – (unless, of
course, you cut the wire or a fuse blows!).
The reason for this is that inside of every light socket there is a tiny
microchip that acts as a ‘silent sentry’ to keep the light string operating. When all bulbs in the string are operating
properly, the chip does nothing.
However, as soon as something happens to a bulb – whether it gets
broken; becomes loose in the socket; falls from the socket; burns out or
whatever – the chip takes over and acts as if it were a bulb to keep the rest
of the string operating properly. It even acts as a kind of “surge protector”
to protect the bulbs from power surges caused by other bulbs in the string
burning out.
Because of the Patented Staylit®
Technology, the lights are even brighter than a regular light string,
making your Holiday Display better than ever.
You can also create a beautiful “Twinkling Effect” by inserting
several ‘flasher’ type bulbs in a Staylit® light string. When a
“flasher bulb” is placed in the socket of an ordinary light string, the entire
string flashes off and on. When placed
in a Stay Lit® light string, just that bulb flashes off and on. Place several flasher bulbs in a string for a
very pleasing random twinkle effect. Staylit® Pre-Lighted trees even
come with the “Twinkling Effect” already built in - AND – guaranteed
10 years!!!!
Staylit® light strings and Pre-Lighted Artificial trees are
sold in the U.S.
and Canada at
major retail stores. Beware of knock-offs with similar meaning names – they do NOT do what Staylit® light
strings do. The Staylit® secret
is in the socket – not in the bulb. You
don’t have to buy special bulbs. For
bulb replacement, use standard bulbs.
NEW!!! -
- - For
2007!!! - - - Sylvania® Staylit®
Sylvania® Staylit® incorporates
new high technology circuitry requiring the use of standard 3.5 volt, 130 mA bulbs instead of 2.5 volt bulbs found in other 50 or 100
light strings. Replacement bulbs for
these strings can be found in standard low cost non- Staylit®
35 or 70 light strings as these light strings use 3.5 volt, 130 mA bulbs.
INVENTIONS available for licensing
- New display technology – a
quenched phosphor display where phosphor is excited by UV radiation and
selectively quenched by a voltage.
- Fourteen patents on Field
Emission Displays (FED's) are available for licensing. These cover field emitters from various
sources other than Spindt tips.
Also covered are amplification layers for increasing electron
emission by generating secondary electrons (similar to that in a
photomultiplier). Phosphor biasing
is taught to increase brightness plus special thin barrier layers of
silicon nitride to increase phosphor lifetime. These patents would be extremely
valuable to those in FED technology.
