European Semiconductor Industry Service (ESIS) Have Received This Data As a Loose-Leaf Service Section to Be Filed in Their Binder Set DataQuest a company of MThe Dun & Bradstreet Corporation 7th April Dear Client, NEW FORMAT—MARKET SHARE DATA Dataquest's Eviropean Components Group completed preliminary 1988 European semiconductor market share estimates, which are enclosed herein. In the past, clients of the European Semiconductor Industry Service (ESIS) have received this data as a loose-leaf service section to be filed in their binder set. For your convenience we are now publishing this data in the form of a booklet. This booklet can still be filed as before, but offers much greater ease of use "on the move". We have also presented the market share estimates in a ranked format, rather than in alphabetical format, for your ease in comparing of vendors' market positions in different products and technologies. The previous year's rank is also shown for reference. Extra analysis is given, such as percentage market share for each vendor, for further ease in interpreting the estimates. We hope this helps make our estimates more usefuL to you. We would be interested in your comments regarding this new format.

INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

She Graduated as engineer from the 'Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Télécommunications', Paris, and obtained a phD in microelectronics from the University of Languedoc at Montpellier in 1982. She developed a first experience at CNET, working on Telecom Circuits Design in the newly created research lab dedicated to Microelectronic Technologies Studies. From 1990, she managed successively two research groups working on Modem system design and more closely on RF front end and digital baseband design. She conducted personally a research activity, leading PHD students. In parallel, the laboratory moved from telecom circuit design to system design. Since 1998 her topics of interest moved towards Wireless RF interfaces embracing the Cellular domain, then WLAN and WPAN. Capillary Networks for M2M applications, is her main topic of interest at the moment. Luis BARRIGA, Ericsson is a Senior Specialist at the Communications Security Lab of Ericsson Research, Sweden.

  • Siemens Company History Phase8
    New paths in a time of crisis 1989–2006 The years from 1989 to 2006 confronted the company with challenges unlike any before – including the first comprehensive reform of the corporate organization, the launch of the Ten- Point Program, and the compliance crisis – that compelled its chief players to make fundamental changes. 1989 was a year of profound changes, not just for Germany and global politics, but for Siemens. Twenty years after the company’s last major organizational reform, there was a need for action. Siemens AG had outgrown the structure that had been laid out back in 1966 and 1969. Where revenues in fiscal 1969 had been 12.7 billion deutschmarks, by 1986 they had risen to 51.4 billion. The number of business units had grown to eight by the end of the 1980s. Karlheinz Kaske, CEO from 1981 to 1992, aimed to improve "mo- bility, effectiveness and competitiveness," with an organizational structure that took due account of the company's changing envi- ronment – the technological paradigm shift from mechanical de- vices to electronics and microelectronics, the growth of interna- tional business, a greatly expanded worldwide customer base, and ever-intensifying competition. So top management first of all set up a more effective administrative structure. The eight former business units were rearranged into 15 new, leaner units, two operating Groups with their own legal form, and two independ- ent Divisions. Each was responsible for its own profits and value chain – from development through production to sales – and each was managed by three Group Executive Managers. Top management, which formerly included more than 30 people, was © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history cut by a third.

  • 19. CD-ROM Games
    Forthcoming in WOLF, Mark J.P. (ed.). Video Game History: From Bouncing Blocks to a Global Industry, Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn. 19. CD-ROM Games Carl Therrien While it became a standard relatively recently, disc-based storage goes a long way back in the history of video game distribution. The term encompasses a wide range of technologies, from magnetic floppy discs, analog laserdiscs, to a variety of digital optical media. Of the latter, the CD-ROM enjoyed the strongest following and the longest lifespan; as of 2006, a significant number of PC games are still burned on CDs. When it became the most common video game distribution format in the mid nineteen-nineties, the compact disc was already a standard in the music industry. In contrast to the magnetic tapes used for the distribution of albums and movies, optical discs allowed relatively fast, random, non-linear access to the content. But these features were already common in the realm of cartridge-based video game systems; the ROMs in Atari 2600 or Super Nintendo game cartridges were directly connected to the system’s working memory and could be read instantly. The CD drive optical head couldn’t compete; as a matter of fact, optical discs introduced the infamous “loading” screen to the console gamer. Video games benefited first and foremost from the storage capabilities of the CD-ROM. While the CD format shares its core technical principle with the more recent DVD standard (found in the Xbox and PlayStation 2) and other dedicated formats (such as the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM and the Gamecube optical disc), this chapter will focus solely on the integration of CD-ROM technology and its consequences on game design and development.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.
