City of South Bend Supports Nanoelectronics Commercialization.SOUTH BEND South Bend, city (1990 pop. 105,511), seat of St. Joseph co., N Ind., on the great south bend of the St. Joseph River, in a farming and mint-growing region; inc. as a city 1865. , Ind IND Investigational new drug Therapeutics A status assigned by the FDA to a drug before allowing its use in humans, exempting it from premarketing approval requirements so that experimental clinical trials may be conducted. See Phase 1.2, 3 studies, Sponsorship. . -- The City of South Bend has reiterated its vow to support commercialization of nanoelectronics research emanating from the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery (MIND), which concluded an important international research workshop on Tuesday, Aug. 18, in South Bend. "MIND will be transformational to the economy of the city and the region, which is one of the key reasons why we've supported it from the very beginning," said South Bend Mayor Stephen J. Luecke. Led by the University of Notre Dame Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary. In the United States of America, Notre Dame , MIND is a university-private sector research consortium intent on discovering the next nanoscale At nanometer size. Any device only a few nanometers in size is nanoscale. See nanotechnology and nanometer. logic device which will replace the current computer switch architecture widely used today. It is one of four national research centers established by the Semiconductor Research Corporation's Nanoelectronics Research Initiative. The purpose of MIND's workshop this week was to examine how experimental "next-generation" switches studied by NRI NRI Nomura Research Institute (Tokyo, Japan) NRI Non-Resident Indian NRI Natural Resources Institute NRI National Resources Inventory NRI Networked Readiness Index NRI Natural Resources Inventory NRI National Research Institute can be used most effectively in design. "MIND's workshop this week is evidence of the great strides being made in the quest for Verb 1. quest for - go in search of or hunt for; "pursue a hobby" quest after, go after, pursue look for, search, seek - try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are searching for the smaller, faster and better nanoscale computer technology," Luecke added. "And the City is well-positioned at the ground level to provide financial and other support to bring MIND's discoveries into the marketplace." Specifically, the City of South Bend has helped fund MIND with $1 million, and has committed $50 million toward commercializing MIND's discoveries. NRI leaders have lauded South Bend's response to the MIND initiative. Additionally, the City of South Bend has cleared and developed Ignition ignition, apparatus for igniting a combustible mixture. The German engineer Nikolaus A. Otto, in his first gas engine, used flame ignition; another method was heating a metal tube to incandescence. Park to house MIND-inspired nanoelectronics businesses and other technology start-ups, and has worked in close cooperation with the University of Notre Dame to develop Innovation Park at Notre Dame, due to open this fall. Together, the two locations comprise Indiana's first-ever dual-site technology park. |
