Instead ofreferring to it with plural nouns and verbs (i.e., "they" and "are"), people began to use singular forms ("it" and "is"). While tht' gurus ofgranunar might disapprove!

Today, 25 years later, singular references to HP Labs make even more sense.

  • Agood Forty Years
    Agood forty years... No trumpets blew when Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett walked up to receive their 40th year service awards from John Young on December 18. A few reminis­ cences and they turned to the business at hand: passing out 25·, 30- and 35-year I awards to other HP veterans gathered for the annual Bay Area awards luncheon. Of course, technically speaking, these weren't even the first 40-year awards handed out at Hewlett-Packard- that honor had already gone to a handful of Waltham Division employees who were credited with years spent working for a venerable acquisition, the Sanborn Company. And yet, those 40-year awards to Dave and Bill last month were clearly something quite special in the history of the company they founded four decades ago. For a few minutes the co-founders thought back to those early days in Palo Alto when they were beginning to build devices in a garage workshop during Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett mark 40 years 01 Hewlett-Packard service with a handshake.

Taha Significant interest has been placed on developing systems based on memristors since the initial fabrication by HP Labs in 2008 [1]. The memristor is a nanoscale device with dynamic resistance that is able to retain the last programmed resistance value after power is removed from the device. This property shows that the memristor can be used as a non-volatile memory component, and has potential to enhance many types of systems, such as high density memory, and neuromorphic computing architectures. This thesis presents the fabrication and characterization results obtained based memristor devices developed at the University of Dayton. In addition, a comparison between the existing memristor device models was completed to show how the memristor can be used in a multistate operation.

    2006 HP Annual Report [Cover depicts a solid green background with a thin white horizontal stretch bar wrapping around the cover. The HP logo sits in the lower right-hand corner. 2006 HP Annual Report sits within the white bar.] Dear Fellow Stockholders, HP made solid progress this past year toward our goal of becoming the world’s leading IT company. We want to create the best technology on the planet — and be the best at selling, servicing and supporting that technology. To get there, we are focusing our portfolio of products and services on simplifying our customers’ experiences with technology and helping them do what they want to do, wherever they are. For example, in our enterprise business, we are working on helping our customers run their businesses with automated, super-efficient data centers. In our imaging and printing business, we are helping customers more rapidly achieve the benefits of printing from a digital source in areas such as commercial printing and retail photo printing. And in our personal systems business, we are working to empower customers with simple, always-connected, mobile computing experiences at work, at home or on the go. While we worked toward these strategic goals, we also improved the health of our financials. Our revenue increased 6 percent in fiscal year 2006 to $91.7 billion. Non-GAAP EPS increased 47 percent to $2.38¹, and GAAP diluted EPS increased 166 percent to $2.18. And we generated record cash flow from operations of $11.4 billion. We also achieved the most balanced profit mix by business group that HP has seen in years.

  • The Hewlett-Packard Years Optoelectronicsdivision September 1973 Through January 1999 by David L
    The Hewlett-Packard Years OptoelectronicsDivision September 1973 through January 1999 by David L. Evans Optoelectronics Applications Engineer Foreword Optoelectronics Applications Engineer—Dave Evans There are already two informative HP Memoirs on this website, written by Bob Steward and John Uebbing. Both memoirs have great technology and personal stories about how HPA started from a materials science group in HP Labs in the mid-1960s. This venture came from a vision which saw great promise in exploiting the remarkable ability to get visible light out of Gallium-Arsenide-based semiconductors, at very low (portable) voltages. Bill Hewlett and others in HP Labs backed up this venture with generous funding, especially in 1970 when 15-digit miniature displays were needed for Bill's pet project, the HP-35 electronic slide rule. By the time Dave Evans was hired at HPA LED group in 1973, I had already spent almost three years (1969 – 1972) in the earliest years trying to manage the introduction of LED displays, culminating in the wildly popular HP-35 electronic slide rule. I moved on in late 1972. But that period starting in about 1969 was technologically exciting, as LED digits and alpha-numeric displays were finding applications all the way from auto tail and brake lights to traffic stop lights. But we really didn't know what was coming. The clear advantages of semiconductor light, used to generate small digits for revolutionary pocket calculators or in portable HP instrumentation and quickly in desktop engineering calculators were obvious. It was also obvious to HPA's marketing teams like Milt Liebhaber and Rick Kniss, that the super reliability of LED bulbs were going to be natural for applications like the tail and stop lights of autos.

This is a multi-step sequence of stages of photolithographic and chemical processing (such as surface passivation, thermal oxidation, planar diffusion and compound insulation), during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a plate of pure semiconductor materials. Silicon is almost always used, but different semiconductor compounds are used for specialized applications. The entire manufacturing process, from the beginning to the packaged chips ready for shipment, takes six to eight weeks and is performed in highly specialized semiconductor plants, also called foundries or fabs.
