Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd has unveiled a new and possibly controversial strategy that involves more collaboration in the early stages of the IC design process. TSMC's program is aimed to reduce development cycles and manufacturing costs, according to analysts. But it could also possibly cause a major stir in the industry, as the silicon foundry giant wants more of the IC pie and appears to be encroaching on the turf in the third-party EDA, IP, packaging and test communities.
The Radium Luminous Material Corporation was founded in 1914 (renamed in 1921 to the United States Radium Corporation) by Dr. Sabin Arnold von Sochocky and Dr. George S. Willis becoming the first U.S. company to produce radioluminescent paint. The paint used by this particular company was the trademarked "Undark", invented by William J.

Because of her responsibility to which the company delegates, Goodearl is obligated to act based on principles that will maximize the overall result of the company. Third, Goodearl is obligated to serve her country, to act for the benefit of the United States. In Hughes Aircraft case however, Goodearl's obligation to the United States is in conflict with the
manufacturing power after World War II. The Cold War furthered this development, as industries involved in defense, aerospace, steel, oil, automobiles, and so on prospered (Hossfeld 405-406). The high-technology industry began in the laboratories of corporations such as Bell Laboratories, American Telephone and Telegraph, Fairchild Camera and Instrument, and General Electric during this Cold War era (Bacon, “Organizing”). Employment in California, especially Silicon Valley, grew rapidly between 1950 and
step to capitalize on the opportunities in each business' segment of the global information industry -- communications services, communications equipment, and transaction-intensive computing." Under the plan, a fourth business -- AT&T Capital Corporation -- would be sold, and AT&T shareowners would hold shares in each of the three remaining companies. "Changes in customer needs, technology and public policy are radically transforming our industry," said Robert E. Allen. "We now see this restructuring

Migrant Farmers of The Depression Era:Then and Now ---Life on migrant farmers was very hard during the Great Depression. Farmers struggled with low prices for the crops they produced all through the 1920s, but after 1929 things began to really down hill. During WWI farmers worked hard to produce record crops and livestock but after the war, when demand fell, prices fell so farmers tried to produce even more to pay their debts. In the early 1930s prices dropped so low that many farmers either couldn't

The Impact of Computers On Our Lives Only once in a lifetime will a new invention come about to touch every aspect of our lives. Such a device that changes the way we work, live, and play is a special one, indeed. A machine that has done all this and more now exists in nearly every business in the US and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). This incredible invention is the computer. The electronic computer has been around for over a half-century, but its ancestors have been around for

Overview of CYC Abstract The CYC project is the first serious attempt to build a base of human consensus knowledge -- to encode common sense. The CYC system is intended to provide a "deep" layer of understanding that can eventually be used by other programs to make them more flexible and less "brittle". This paper discusses of the motivations behind the encoding of common sense, provides an overview of the CYC system and touches on some of its applications. Introduction Often it is enough
Technology Versus Nature in Shelley’s Frankenstein and Gibson’s Neuromancer At first glance, a comparison of Shelley’s Frankenstein and Gibson’s Neuromancer could seem rather irrelevant having in mind that these two works are separated by more than a century. During this lapse of time, humanity has witnessed profound changes at a breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that

INTRODUCTION Would people be willing to pay $12.50/month for commercial free radio beamed right to their car or home. Well two companies and many big investors are betting about $3 billion dollars that people are willing to do just that. In 1997, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) granted a portion of the S-band spectrum for satellite radio and two companies purchased use of these bands and started the only two companies competing in the satellite radio business
workings of the new invention to the public. Absolute Monopoly - this is what it means! The people who have come up with the idea of protecting the innovation and so called rewards to the innovators never thought that what it may mean to the corporations and how it will kill the innovation in the software industry. As Stallman said “Software patents are a danger that affects all programmers and all computer users. I found out about them of course in working on Free Software because they are a danger
