The unexpected superior switching performance (low leakage current, and steep sub-threshold slope) shown experimentally and analysed theoretically, demonstrate hitherto unexplored routes for improvements for transistors based on disordered silicon films. By making the conduction channel in these disordered transistors very thin, the team has shown this technology will enable the design of low power memory for large area electronics based on a low-cost industry standard material processing route. technologynewsroom.comFri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1225Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software and consulting firm, has released the newest version of SimSci-Esscor’s INPLANT™ simulation software, a program that rigorously simulates multiphase flow in plant utility and relief networks. INPLANT version 4.1 provides the power and flexibility to model applications ranging from a depressuring study of a single vessel to the design and rating of a complete cooling water network for an entire refinery or petrochemical plant. The latest version of INPLANT software now incorporates the recently introduced SimSci-Esscor SIM4ME Portal, which enables the use of INPLANT software via a Microsoft Excel interface. technologynewsroom.comMon, 04 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1222Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software and consulting firm, announced today that it has become part of the Motorola’s PartnerSelect Program.

But, on retirement they may find that this is indeed just a dream as their sleep can actually become more and more disturbed. For this reason Katharina Lederle, a Marie Curie Research Fellow, and Dr. Samantha Hopkins, both from the Centre for Chronobiology at the University of Surrey, are looking to recruit people over the age of 60 who have problems sleeping to see if exposure to light can help improve sleep in their homes. technologynewsroom.comThu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1210Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software and consulting firm, has released the newest version of SimSci-Esscor’s PRO/II software, a steady-state process simulator used to design, analyze and improve chemical processes. In addition to the numerous infrastructure upgrades and enhancements that address the emerging needs of the hydrocarbon and chemicals processing industries, PRO/II simulation software can now be used on Microsoft Vista Enterprise & Business operating systems, and IPS has provided an updated install procedure and support for Microsoft Office 2007. technologynewsroom.comTue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1206University of Surrey researchers have found a way to make ultra-small pure carbon crystals entirely formed from the spherical carbon ‘buckyball’ molecule known as C60. The method used involves mixing two liquids together, one of which contains C60, at low temperature. Lozenge shaped crystals can be quickly obtained with widths of 80 nm which is about 100,000 times smaller than the width of a pencil and much smaller than previously thought possible using this method. The electronic properties of the C60 molecules that make up the small crystals are of particular importance for developing new nanoelectronic devices such as solar cells and gas sensors. This new development may therefore allow researchers to accelerate the development of these nanotechnologies based on this simple method of making these high purity ultra-small C60 components.technologynewsroom.comMon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1195Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software and consulting firm, celebrated here today the 100th anniversary of the Foxboro automation products brand.

This has been as a result of increased understanding on the molecular basis of cancer, and how some of the cancer-associated cell processes can be targeted by naturally occurring or genetically manipulated viruses. From early prototype gene therapy models, certain viruses are undergoing formal evaluation in clinical trials, both as single agents and in combination with standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Some of these trials are ongoing at the University of Surrey.technologynewsroom.comMon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1158The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Surrey cordially invites students and professionals to attend the course in Composite Technology and Smart Systems to be held at the University in Guildford from June 9 until June 13 2008.technologynewsroom.comWed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.technologynewsroom.com/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1141Invensys Process Systems has inaugurated a Gas Production Operations Center at Reynosa City, Tamaulipas State, northeast of Mexico.
