UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The US has the largest and most
technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of
$48,100. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business
firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy
needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business
firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and
Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to
develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to enter
their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets. US
firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in
computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; their advantage has
narrowed since the end of World War II. The onrush of technology largely
explains the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in
which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical
skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay
raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. Since 1975, practically
all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. Since
1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other
category of after-tax income. Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US
consumption. Oil prices doubled between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices
peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into consumers' budgets and many individuals
fell behind in their mortgage payments. Oil prices increased another 50%
between 2006 and 2008. In 2008, soaring oil prices threatened inflation and
caused a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at
$840 billion. In 2009, with the global recession deepening, oil prices dropped
40% and the US trade deficit shrank, as US domestic demand declined, but in
2011 the trade deficit ramped back up to $803 billion, as oil prices climbed
once more. The global economic downturn, the sub-prime mortgage crisis,
investment bank failures, falling home prices, and tight credit pushed the
United States into a recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third
quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great
Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, in October 2008 the US
Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The
government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and
industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by
early 2011. In January 2009 the US Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA
signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used
over 10 years - two-thirds on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to
create jobs and to help the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal
budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP; total government revenues from taxes
and other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than that of most other
developed countries. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in
national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the
growth of the US budget deficit and public debt - through 2011, the direct
costs of the wars totaled nearly $900 billion, according to US government
figures. In March 2010, President OBAMA signed into law the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance reform bill that will extend
coverage to an additional 32 million American citizens by 2016, through private
health insurance for the general population and Medicaid for the impoverished.
Total spending on health care - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in
1980 to 17.9% in 2010. In July 2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial
stability by protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer
bailouts of financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big
to fail," and improving accountability and transparency in the financial
system - in particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded
in markets that are subject to government regulation and oversight. Long-term
problems include inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure, rapidly
rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, sizable current
account and budget deficits - including significant budget shortages for state
governments - energy shortages, and stagnation of wages for lower-income
families.

Business:
Intematix Corporation develops and manufactures phosphor products for
light emitting diode (LED) solid-state lighting technologies.
It offers remote phosphor light sources for applications, such as LED
retrofit light bulbs, portable consumer lighting, downlights, wall sconces,
pendants, chandelier and other decorative applications, appliances, task
lighting, high bay, panel lighting, spots and modules, and modular shapes for
linear lighting. The company also provides CCFL and LED phosphor products for
applications, such as LED TVs.
Intematix Corporation was founded in 2000 and is based in Fremont,
California. The company has additional offices in Yangmei, Taiwan; Suzhou and
Shenzen, China; Seoul, South Korea; and Rome, Italy.
Last news:
On 08-28-2012, Arrow Electronics, Inc. has signed a global distribution
agreement with Intematix Corporation to deliver ChromaLit(TM) remote phosphor
components for high-quality LED lighting. Remote phosphor is a disruptive trend
in LED lighting system design creating opportunity for lighting customers and
partners to generate competitive advantage in their markets. Several new LED
lighting system manufacturers have adopted ChromaLit in their designs including
light bulbs and area lighting and have lowered costs of production and
increased performance. Compared to conventional LED designs, where blue chips
are coated with a phosphor compound, ChromaLit, now available through Arrow
Electronics, uses a phosphor composite separated from the blue LED energy
source. This architecture provides reduced system costs, more efficient
manufacturing processes, exceptional light quality and up to 30% higher system
efficacy. Arrow offers a broad line of LED lighting solutions along with
engineering and design support through their Lighting Design Center and other
tools.
