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. ____________________
