                     HIGHLIGHTING KCF TECHNOLOGIES

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight 
one of my district's most innovative businesses, KCF Technologies.
  KCF Technologies is an employee-owned technology company located in 
State College, Pennsylvania. Their passion is using technology to make 
the things we live and work with smarter.
  Part of KCF's work focuses on improving the lives of our wounded 
warriors through self-powered prosthetic devices. These self-powered 
prosthetic limbs capture energy when the individual is walking and uses 
that energy to recharge the prosthesis.
  KCF Technologies has created many of these innovative devices thanks 
to research funded by the U.S. Army Telemedicine & Advanced Technology 
Research Center and the National Science Foundation.
  Today, KCF Technologies is at Walter Reed National Military Medical 
Center to demonstrate its newest prosthetic technology. These 
electromechanical devices make life better for not just our wounded 
servicemembers, but for amputees of every age and in every walk of 
life.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of this company, and I look forward to the 
new innovations KCF Technologies will produce in the future.
