Visit All-About-Electronics' we have lots of electronic games including online casino games pages. Although these days there are many gaming websites available on the net, not all of them combine high quality service with incredibly exciting casino offerings. It takes a lot of valuable time to filter the ones that are actually worth a player's attention from the ones that have nothing to offer. We are absolutely positive that you've already happened to play casino games that turned out to be dull and exceptionally boring. To spare you the disappointment, we have created a list of several of the hottest online gaming websites offering their customers the golden opportunity to play bingo games of superb quality and a wide range of other highly-praised casino games. In addition, the rising popularity of online poker reflected by many players' uncontrollable urge to play poker games encouraged us to include in our list the most prominent online poker rooms. All you have to do is visit these online casinos and have the time of your life!

Voltaix Extends SiGe Leadership with Support from National Science Foundation

2 January 2006

Voltaix, Inc., has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR/STTR Program to accelerate the commercialization of breakthrough silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology. The approach deploys new, purpose-built molecules designed by Prof. John Kouvetakis and co-workers at Arizona State University (ASU) to enable new approaches to computer chip design and fabrication that reduce power consumption and increase performance. Further, the technology enables low temperature deposition of high germanium content SiGe films that could revolutionize the production of CMOS-integrated MEMS.«Our customers need new materials-based solutions to achieve their technology development goals,» stated Dr. John de Neufville, President of Voltaix. «The sponsorship of the NSF enables us to bring this solution to our customers more quickly and extends our leadership in SiGe technology.» The SBIR/STTR program was established to accelerate the deployment of cutting edge research into mainstream industrial practice. The program has provided seed capital for several very successful semiconductor industry innovations, including silicon carbide wafers developed by Sterling Semiconductor,(1) and the SDS® hazardous gas package developed by ATMI. ATMI's SDS® package is reported to have generated hundreds of millions in revenue for the company.(2) Grants are awarded through a highly competitive process based on peer review by experts. Only 10% of all proposals submitted to the program are awarded funds. The grant provides support of the project "STTR Phase I: Germyl Silanes - Enabling Precursors for Chemical Vapor Deposition of Advanced CMOS Substrates, CMOS-Integrated MEMS, and Nano-Scale Quantum-Dot Silicon Photonics." The funds will support development efforts at Voltaix and ASU. Voltaix secured worldwide exclusive rights to the technology through a licensing agreement with Arizona Technology Enterprises, Arizona State University's technology commercialization company. Peter de Neufville, Chairman of Voltaix, noted, «Through strategic partnerships with leading organizations such as AZTE, Voltaix continues to deliver cutting edge technology to our customers.»(1) See http://www.mdatechnology.net/pdf/2001tar.pdf.
