Vice – Chairman Abstract: You are probably familiar with Moore's law which deals with the doubling of Mike Nero computing power (and reduction of cost) every two years or so. Amazingly, Moore's visionary IMI Sensors prediction has held true for nearly half a century. Within the semiconductor industry, Moore's Law (716) 684-0001 has inspired and challenged companies to strive for innovation and advances in process technology. In this presentation, Randy provides examples of the presence of Moore’s Law in various areas Program Chairman including the technology we experience on a daily basis. He then takes a look at the (lack of) Gene Bradbury progress in the Condition Monitoring field and challenges the industry to consider the future and Praxair Incorporated make some fundamental leaps forward (716) 879-7049 Randy began his career with Bently Nevada in 1978 where he developed the 3300 and 3500 Secretary Bio: monitoring systems.
