From Deseret News archives:
16 research centers to get state funding
The Governor's Office of Economic Development Board approved the funding Friday for research groups developing products or technologies at Utah universities.
The office received 38 proposals for funding, and review teams consisting of chief executive officers, senior vice presidents and other senior-level executives primarily from technology companies conducted reviews of 35 and recommended funding for 16. Five others were awarded funds for business teams to assist them in commercialization efforts.
Two others, referred to as "companion spinout" companies, also received Centers funding. Seven had applied.
"We wanted to focus attention on job creation," COE director Nicole Toomey Davis told the board prior to its vote. "We're in the company-creation sector. I've been around through the program saying our job is jobs, and I would say that there are a few people who were like, 'Really? We're researchers.'
"We've really motivated and mobilized the entire program around this concept that this program is about helping create great, quality jobs here in Utah for Utah residents."
Centers receiving 2006-07 funding are:
Acoustics Research, Brigham Young University: Commercializing active sound control technology with superior ability to both reduce noise in varied settings (vehicle cabins, computer fans and telecommunications, for example) and modify sounds for commercial benefit.
Advanced Communications Technology, BYU: Improved wireless communications and data transmission for both military and commercial markets is achieved through the use of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology with multiple antenna elements.
Advanced Imaging LADAR, Utah State University: Commercializing land-based and airborne high-resolution, laser-based 3-D color-imaging platforms for both military and civilian use.
Advanced Thermal Management Technologies, USU: Technologies for extremely high-performance thermal management in the context of physical and vibration isolation, in part from collaboration with USU's Space Dynamics Lab.
