Company < Staff Reports The University of South Carolina's College of Engineering, playing the role of mother hen, is "incubating" a new ^ high-tech company. The "chick" is KryoTech Inc., maker of "turbocharged" computer work stations, which was hatched this year by a small group of engineers with strong ties to the university. The company uses temperature-reduction techniques to enable computer chips to perform up to 35 percent faster than normal. It is the first "incubator" project attempted at USC and, though it is still Construction ne \ AHEAD ?j Happy Biit Alpha Laml of Delta D cPQ m v2 Happy Fou CONG ?
