"The new Web site plan was developed with the user in mind," stated Mike Coast, president. "MMTC wants visitors of its Web site to have a pleasant and informative experience."

Codexis, a private biotechnology company and leading developer of clean manufacturing technologies, today announced it has acquired BioCatalytics, says Earth Times.

BioCatalytics is a private company that has produced custom and off-the-shelf enzymes, used in chemical process manufacturing by pharmaceutical and fine chemical companies for nearly a decade.

The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, and has closed.

ProMOS Technologies has adopted Synopsys` Proteus optical proximity correction (OPC) software as the production standard for its advanced process technologies, reports CNN.

A cornerstone of Synopsys` design-for-manufacturing solutions, Proteus can enable the world-leading memory integrated circuit provider to realise better critical dimension control, further reduce the OPC cost of ownership, and deliver the stringent accuracy and performance needed.

"We selected Proteus OPC following a detailed evaluation of different vendors in the market," said Dr Peter Zhao, senior director for R&D at ProMOS Technologies.
