Subject: 2003 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards of Excellence in Technology Transfer It is my pleasure to officially announce that the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) will award at its National meeting on May 5-9, 2003 in Tucson, Arizona all four technology nominations from ORNL for this year's Excellence in Technology Transfer category.  For ORNL, this is most significant considering this year only a total of twenty-two technology nominations will be recognized nationwide for approximately 700 federal laboratories. These awards recognize laboratory employees who have accomplished outstanding work in the process of transferring a technology developed by a federal laboratory to the commercial marketplace.  This speaks highly of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is an indication that these technologies along with their scientific and technology transfer achievements are truly of the highest caliber. Recognized from ORNL is the winner for the "Excellence in Technology Transfer Award" with the submittal "Automated Image Retrieval System for Semiconductor Yield Improvement." The individuals to be recognized for this award are Regina Ferrell, Shaun Gleason, Bruce Jatko, Tom Karnowski, Ken Tobin and Bobby Whitus. Also to be recognized from ORNL is the winner for "Excellence in Technology Transfer Award" with the submittal "Carbon Composite Bipolar Plate."
