equipment for our previous customers who insulated their existing in-service boilers with our coatings, resulting in Nansulate®

generally paying it for itself

in 12 to 18 months,” states Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Crolley continues: “Nansulate®

provides solutions

for insulating steam process systems and reducing related carbon emissions that is significant and long lasting. One of our textile clients reduced their liquid natural gas (LNG) consumption in 2007 & 2008 by 2,211,599 Standard Cubic Meters (Sm3), which was a cost savings directly attributed to Nansulate®

insu-

lation coatings of $852,437 USD. Their investment in the purchase of Nansulate®

was $200,000 and in-

stallation cost was $100,000, therefore their payback period was only seven months. This represented a 20% reduction in energy use. Another manufacturing client who used the coatings on their steam process system components reduced their steam injection cycles by more than 50%, while improving product quality due to a more consistent process tempera- ture. Yet another client who insulated their boilers, dye machines, and heat exchangers with Nansulate® High Heat recorded their reduction in LNG con- sumption and reported over a 20% decrease in ener- gy consumption and an anticipated average savings per month of $40,000 US in energy costs.” http://www.nansulate.com

nfiniScale S.A. and CEA-Leti have signed a multi- year collaboration agreement to focus on pro-

cess-variability management in the most aggressive technologies, especially SOI sub-28nm devices. InfiniScale, the leading provider of model-based parametrical yield analysis and optimization for analog and mixed-signal designs, will provide its Lysis™ platform for modeling and yield optimization

of design-kit libraries. The Grenoble-based company also brings its know-how on development of a next- generation global solution dedicated to overcoming process variability challenges from front end to back end.

he new ISOFACE™ Digital Input products expand Infineon Technologies’ (OTCQX: IF-

NNY) innovative product segment of galvanic isola- ted interfaces for industrial control and automation applications. The ISOFACE™ Digital Input product family ISO1I811T and ISO1I813T is demonstrated at Embedded World 2011 tradeshow in Nuremberg, Germany (hall 12: Infineon: booth 12, EBV: booth 458, Arrow: booth 366). The new ISOFACE™ Digital Input products offer an integrated galvanic isolation of 500VAC (EN60664-1, UL508), based on the pro- ven technology already used in Infineon’s ISOFACE™ Digital Output products.

Furthermore, Infineon announced additions to its successful 16-bit XE166 Real-Time Signal Control- ler portfolio to address low-end and ultra low-end industrial applications. The new XE16xL and XE16xU Real-Time Signal Controllers provide 16-bit perfor-
