MMTIF News Dr. Cynthia Kuper to Speak at Penn Nanotech Society at the University of Pennsylvania
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Micromem Technologies Inc., ("Micromem") (OTCBB:MMTIF) a Toronto-based
developer of magnetic random access memory (MRAM), is pleased to
announce that Dr. Cynthia Kuper has been asked to participate in the
Penn Nanotech Society's Industry Discussion Panel on October 25, 2006.
This event will be held in conjunction with "Nano Day" which is
organized by the University of Pennsylvania's Nano/Bio Interface Centre.
The entire day is lined up with outreach and educational programs to
make the community more aware about nanotechnology.
Micromem Technologies, Inc. (www.micromeminc.com)
is focused on the development of magnetic random access memory (MRAM)
technology. We believe that once fully developed, this technology will
be suitable for various applications including, without limitation,
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) It is anticipated that RFID will
be Micromem's first market objective. Micromem's primary technology was
developed pursuant to an exclusive world wide commercial license issued
by the University of Toronto ("UT") Pursuant to the terms of the
license, Micromem can buy out the balance of the Company's financial
obligations with respect to the patents and technology licensed by UT
for a fixed fee. The MRAM development work was undertaken in accordance
with research collaboration agreements among Micromem, the University of
Toronto, Dr. Harry Ruda and OCE Inc., a not-for-profit corporation
supported through the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and
Trade's (MEDT) Ontario Centres of Excellence program. Micromem believes
it has full control over the last three years of the technological
innovations arising from the MRAM development work, including, as
previously announced the development of the single bit memory prototype.
