Toronto, Ontario & New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - January 5, 2015) - Micromem Technologies Inc. (CSE: MRM) (OTCQX: MMTIF) ("the Company") ("Micromem") is pleased to announce our websites are updated to include a video on technologies and solutions developed by MAST, a wholly owned U.S.-based subsidiary of Micromem Technologies Inc., that have been recently applied to challenges in the power utility industry.

The video describes the patented technology developed by MAST that allows for MEMS sensors to float inside power transformers and reliably detect the magnitude and location of partial discharges as demonstrated October 30, 2014, announced November 12, 2014. Partial discharges, if left unchecked, result in potentially dangerous levels of explosive gases that can result in transformer fires. Our technology alerts operations and proactively suggests actions to prevent the loss of the transformer.
