Tech-X Corporation Receives Small Business Innovation Research Award to Improve Design Code for High Energy Accelerators.Business Editors & Technology Writers BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2001 Tech-X Corporation, developer of high-performance software solutions for science, engineering and education, has received a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research award from the U.S. Department of Energy. The project, "Cross-Platform Graphical User Interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to for the High-Energy Accelerator Design Code MAD-9," will develop a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ) for the premier software application used in the design and simulation of high-energy particle accelerators. The computational physicists and software engineers at Tech-X will also work to improve and further develop some of the core capabilities of the MAD-9 software, which is under development at the European Center for Nuclear Research in Geneva Geneva, canton and city, Switzerland Geneva (jənē`və), Fr. Genève, canton (1990 pop. 373,019), 109 sq mi (282 sq km), SW Switzerland, surrounding the southwest tip of the Lake of Geneva. , Switzerland. The new GUI will be developed using the cross-platform windowing For Northcoast Where we call someone over and then roll our window up on them. Bassline preference. For Example: "Hey, Andi." *insert window being rolled up* "HAHAHA. toolkit Qt, which supports all versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux and Unix. "The MAD-9 software is heavily used in the United States and worldwide for designing high-energy particle accelerators," says principal investigator David Bruhwiler. "A professional GUI will add significant value to MAD-9, with potential to increase the productivity of accelerator designers."
