In August 2009, K Technology Corporation was acquired by Thermacore, Inc. - itself an SBIR active firm. k Technology Corporation (kTC) designs and manufactures thermal management products for cooling high power density electronic packaging and other applications requiring high performance heat transfer. The firm is involved in development of passive high-conductivity thermal components. These components have conductivities 3 and 5 times that of copper and aluminum, respectively. In applications where performance is limited by operating temperature, kTC's products enable electronic packages to operate at significantlty higher power levels or to be significantly reduced in size and weight.
