Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

A University of California-Berkeley team known as the Harmonic Devices has taken home the $25,000 grand prize in the Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge, according to the university’s Haas School of Business.

The team’s work is based on technology created by Gianluca Piazza and Philip Stephanou at UC Berkeley’s Sensor and Actuator Center. The team is planning to introduce what it claims is the world’s first chip integrating RF filters for multiple bands, targeting wireless phones and mobile devices.

The technology promises to deliver new levels of miniaturization, longer battery life and lower cost, the university said.
