nanoTX’08

JohnT — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:53:39 +0000

Short description

The opulent Hyatt Regency Hotel, world famous in countless episodes of the fabled television show Dallas, will host this global event during International Nanotechnology Week Oct. 2-3, 2008.

Long description

After two successful years in debut at the Dallas Convention Center, nanoTX’08 has bowed to popular demand and moved its location to the Hyatt Regency Dallas hotel, 300 Reunion Boulevard, downtown.

“We’ll be able to accommodate a few less exhibitors this year than we did at the Convention Center,” said Colonel Mason, Director of Publicity, “but the conference facilities are outstanding, with networking opportunities everywhere.”

Although somewhat smaller in area, the Business Hall exhibits will continue to be the exciting draw for most people, expanding on the theme The Promise of Tomorrow—The Business of Nanotechnology. Of those attending the exhibits in 2007, 48% were Nanotech Business Professionals; 39% Analysts, Engineers, Technicians, R&D; and 13% Educators. Complete 2007 demographics and footage from the Business Hall exhibits can be viewed at the web site, www.nanotx.biz

“Unlike at the sprawling Convention Center, the Hyatt Regency Dallas convention hotel has the conference rooms and Business Hall exhibits located in very close proximity, making for a more intimate setting and compounding the networking opportunities exponentially,” said Mason, “and the private hotel quarters are only some quick steps from all the action.” Conference speakers and schedules will be continuously updated at the web site throughout the months leading up to the event.

“It is difficult to describe in words the outstanding accommodations of the Hyatt Regency, with convenient cafés and numerous comfortable private networking areas close by.”

A walking tour of this year’s convention hotel can be viewed on-line at http://dallasregency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/gallery/virtual-tour.jsp?ica...

Again this year, major sponsors include the outstanding world-wide organization of the Micro and Nanotechnology Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) http://www.mancef.org, and others. Sponsors can be seen at the web site as current ones return and new ones are welcomed.

The corporate headquarters are located in Irving, Texas. RBC is presently utilizing a 119,000 square foot facility to house their communications center, research lab, offices and shipping department.

RBC is a 16 year old publicly traded nutritional and wellness company that has positioned itself to capture a significant portion of the next trillion dollar business revolution.
This progressive company was started and is run by Dr. Clinton Howard. Dr. Howard has an impeccable business track record over the last forty years. In the 50's he started American Biomedical Corp., which became the largest network of medical testing laboratories in America at the time. In the 60's, he was founding president of Irving Community Hospital. In the 70's, he founded Carrington Laboratories, which brought the miraculous healing powers of aloe vera to the market place.

After visiting his mother in a nursing home during the 90's, Clinton Howard gave up retirement to found RBC Life Sciences. He believed people could live longer and age more successfully. He believed he had the biochemistry and nutritional background as well as the product to help people live longer, healthier lives…and he proved it.

His mission became better nutrition for better health. That mission evolved into a 35 million dollar company uniquely positioned to appeal to the three largest segments in the nutritional arena.

First is the weight loss and weight management area. According to a recent Harris poll, 80% of Americans over the age of 25 are overweight and one third of adults are considered obese. These people are eating and drinking billions of dollars worth of products to try and help them lose and maintain their weight. RBC offers them a solution to win their battle against weight management.

Second, RBC is in the sports and fitness arena. Today more and more of the population are participating in some type of physical activity. Health and fitness clubs are popping up everywhere. We see people sculpting their bodies, doing aerobic exercises, running, lifting, biking, skating, walking, swimming, playing all types of games from beach volley ball to golf. This is a huge segment of our population looking for products that can help them perform better. RBC can answer their search to have more energy, work out longer, build muscle faster and recover quicker.

The third segment is the Wellness business, which targets one of the largest groups of people on the planet…baby boomers. These people are spending billions on products, equipment and services to try to slow down or reverse the aging process. They seek to prolong life and minimize the effects of aging, to support their immune system, improve their mental and physical potential…RBC has their solutions.

By targeting these three areas - weight loss, fitness and the wellness industry - RBC has a huge opportunity to help people with their health and wealth.

Giving RBC the competitive edge over any other company in these arenas is RBC's trademarked NanoCeuticals. Our products are developed using Nanotechnology and a revolutionary NanoCluster delivery system. These teeny tiny particles are about 100,000th of the size of a single grain of sand and can be used to help carry more nutrition into your cells.

We are the first company in network marketing to incorporate Nanotechnology into our product line. Nanotechnology today is where the Internet was ten years ago. Venture capital companies were investing billions into new companies trying to capture a piece of the technology gold rush. Today, Nanotechnology is starting to draw some of the same attention.

It's an exciting time and RBC is an exciting company on the threshold of changing the way we look, feel and live.

Long description

The rapid increase in integrated circuit size and complexity, coupled with the smaller feature sizes, has caused significant challenges to the design community in adopting nanometer process technology. Nanometer geometries introduce challenges in timing delay, power consumption, signal integrity, power supply variation and electro-migration.

Due to the inadequacies of traditional verification technologies, designers are forced to divide their transistors into smaller blocks for verification, thereby sacrificing the accuracy of their simulation and analysis. Inaccurate simulation of interdependent nanometer effects are the cause of catastrophic chip failures, functional failures, or degraded system performance. Iterative chip fabrication runs are the result, often costing one half million dollars or more per iteration. This also lengthens schedule, burns additional engineering hours, delays time-to-market, and decreases the market potential of the eventual products based upon the chip.

Power Consumption

Power consumption continues to grow in importance. Supply voltages are continually trending lower as geometries continue scaling downward. Reduced voltages cause active devices to operate closer to their switching thresholds and, as a result, never fully turn off. Smaller transistors also have reduced channel lengths, causing a decrease in threshold voltages. This causes increased leakage currents (source to drain currents that are known as subthreshold leakage currents). Additional leakage also takes place from the gate to drain as well as source and drain to substrate. In cumulative, leakage power, due to higher leakage currents, contributes up to 50% of the chip's total power consumption. Effectively managing the power consumption requires more accurate simulation and management of all sources of power (switching, leakage and hidden.)

Supply Variation

Supply voltage variations, commonly known as IR drop, is a function of the current (I) drawn from the power grid and the resistance (R) of the interconnect. If the current demand is higher than anticipated, or the wire resistance is too large, supply voltage drops below what is required. This causes larger gate and signal delays, timing discrepancies in signals and clock skew. IR drop on power and ground grids can also affect the noise margins and compromise the signal integrity of the design.

Noise

With nanometer scaling, the height of the interconnect becomes greater than the width, and the coupling between adjacent parallel interconnect lines is now greater than the coupling of interconnect between lines. As signals (currents) travel along the interconnect, glitches or crosstalk with neighboring nets ("victim" nets) can occur, given the relative rate of switching (rise and fall times of the signals) and the amount of mutual capacitance. If the amplitude and timing of the glitch occurs at a critical moment, it may cause a cell to accelerate or slow its transitioning, or even exceed the logic threshold of the receiver cell and force a transition that should not take place. To avoid these types of timing problems or functional failures, accurate simulation of these noise effects is essential.

The Need

The interesting characteristic that binds all of these nanometer effects together is that they are current-based problems. They are also transient and interdependent. The ideal approach to analyze and prevent these problems from adversely impacting designs, prior to fabrication, would be current-based, and would take into account the transient and interdependent nature of nanometer effects.
