>From what I gathered from reading Nikon's extensive description of the LABCAST sensor, it *is* basically a CMOS sensor in terms of architecture and function,but since it's made using junction Field Effect Transistors instead of Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistors they are technically correct in not calling it a CMOS sensor. They way it functions is basically the same as a CMOS sensor (each pixel has its own charge-to-voltage converter and the A-D conversion is done by other on-chip circuits) and completely different from a CCD (charge transferred to busses and carried off-chip before being converted to a voltage then further separate chips perform A-D conversion).
