Advanced Diamond Technologies Receives Wall Street Journal's Sixth Annual Technology Innovation Award.CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Advanced Diamond Technologies, Inc. (ADT (Asynchronous Data Transfer) A transmission technique used in ISDN PBXs that dynamically allocates bandwidth. See also abstract data type. ADT - abstract data type ), is pleased to announce it has been honored with Wall Street Journal's Sixth Annual Technology Innovation Award, receiving a runner-up award in the materials category. The Wall Street Journal received more than 600 applications from two dozen countries, from which 4 top prizes, 12 category winners, and 37 runners-up were selected. Technologies represented wide-ranging categories, including medicine, wireless, security, consumer electronics and semiconductors. The judges selected only technologies they deemed to offer a clear breakthrough from conventional methods. "We are honored to be named a runner-up in the materials category for our Ultrananocrystalline Diamond(TM) (UNCD(TM))," said ADT president Neil Kane. "The competition for this award was extremely intense and we are humbled to receive such industry distinction." Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , HelioVolt, Pfizer and Nektar Therapeutics therapeutics Treatment and care to combat disease or alleviate pain or injury. Its tools include drugs, surgery, radiation therapy, mechanical devices, diet, and psychiatry. , and Sonos took the top honors; other runners-up included Siemens, Corning, Seagate, IBM Research IBM Research, a division of IBM, is a research and advanced development organization and currently consists of eight locations throughout the world and hundreds of projects. , HP Labs, and Fujitsu Labs. An awards dinner is scheduled on October 17 to honor the achievements of the award recipients as part of the Dow Jones Dow Jones the best known of several U.S. indexes of movements in price on Wall Street.

Relating to or being an instrument whose sound is modified or augmented by a synthesizer. 2. Relating to or being compositions or a composition performed on synthesizers or synthesized instruments. in thin-film form using a patented growth process originally developed at Argonne National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory, research center, based in Argonne, Ill., 27 mi (43 km) SW of downtown Chicago, with other facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, 50 mi (80 km) W of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Founded in 1946 by the U.S. , is known for its ability to seamlessly integrate with other materials. Comprised of diamond grains that are 3-5 nm in diameter--a billion-fold smaller in volume than in traditional diamond films--UNCD has many of the desirable characteristics associated with diamond, such as hardness, conductivity conductivity /con·duc·tiv·i·ty/ (kon?duk-tiv´i-te) the capacity of a body to transmit a flow of electricity or heat; the conductance per unit area of the body. con·duc·tiv·i·ty n. 1. and inertness, as well as several distinctive properties, including mirror smoothness and low-temperature synthesis that is compatible with traditional semiconductor manufacturing processes. About Advanced Diamond Technologies, Inc. (www.thindiamond.com) ADT is the world leader in developing and applying diamond films for industrial, electronic, mechanical and medical applications. Formed in December 2003 to commercialize the UNCD technology developed at Argonne, ADT is the licensee to the Argonne portfolio of application and process patents for synthesizing and using UNCD films. |
