Wild Card's description: 

New technologies and materials for low thermal resistance interfaces and electrical interconnects have been discovered, which enable to eliminate obstacles with heat in intricate layered electronic assemblies. This technology makes possible to produce more integrated and more efficient electronic applications e.g. for hybrid vehicles and power supplies. Improved thermal management and integration densities for these applications will also be important to improve energy and manufacturing efficiency and component reliability.
