PWB |
 | | In addition to focusing much-needed attention on improving the science underlying PWB technology, the five-year project generated broad-based benefits for the U.S. economy by enhancing the competitiveness of this $7 billion domestic industry. |
 | | The project generated 214 research papers, fostering rapid transfer of the new technology to the PWB industry as a whole, and led to the formation of a successful new company. |
 | | The NCMS convened and coordinated the ATP project, which was a joint effort to overcome a host of technical deficiencies in PWBs blamed in part on cutbacks in corporate research and development. |
