  • When Is a Microprocessor Not a Microprocessor? the Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I
    Ross Bassett When is a Microprocessor not a Microprocessor? The Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I In the early 1990s an integrated circuit first made in 1969 and thus ante­ dating by two years the chip typically seen as the first microprocessor (Intel's 4004), became a microprocessor for the first time. The stimulus for this piece ofindustrial alchemy was a patent fight. A microprocessor patent had been issued to Texas Instruments, and companies faced with patent infringement lawsuits were looking for prior art with which to challenge it. 2 This old integrated circuit, but new microprocessor, was the ALl, designed by Lee Boysel and used in computers built by his start-up, Four-Phase Systems, established in 1968. In its 1990s reincarnation a demonstration system was built showing that the ALI could have oper­ ated according to the classic microprocessor model, with ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), and I/O (Input/ Output) forming a basic computer. The operative words here are could have, for it was never used in that configuration during its normal life­ time. Instead it was used as one-third of a 24-bit CPU (Central Processing Unit) for a series ofcomputers built by Four-Phase.3 Examining the ALl through the lenses of the history of technology and business history puts Intel's microprocessor work into a different per­ spective. The differences between Four-Phase's and Intel's work were industrially constructed; they owed much to the different industries each saw itselfin.4 While putting a substantial part ofa central processing unit on a chip was not a discrete invention for Four-Phase or the computer industry, it was in the semiconductor industry.

  • Stanford University Budget Plan 2017/18
    STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN STANFORD 2017/18 BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 Approved: This Budget Plan was approved by the Stanford University Board of Trustees June 14–15, 2017. This publication can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/pres-provost/budget/plans/plan18.html STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To The Board of Trustees: It is a pleasure to submit my first Budget Plan as Stanford’s provost. This budget maintains our university’s pre-eminent academic and research programs. It calls for selective investments in high priority areas. It also strengthens our financial base, thereby providing the foundation for the strategic initiatives expected to emerge from the Long Range Planning process. Our approach in developing the 2017/18 Budget Plan has been a cautious one. Slow growth in endowment payout and uncertainty around government sponsored research have created a planning context in which we have reduced the growth of new program investment compared to recent years. At the same time, we have increased our financial reserve position should external funding conditions deteriorate. We are confident this budget both furthers Stanford’s programmatic objectives and maintains a strong underlying financial condition. This document presents Stanford’s 2017/18 Budget Plan for Trustee approval. The Budget Plan has two parts. The first is the Consolidated Budget for Operations, which includes all of Stanford’s anticipated operating revenue and expense for next year. The second is the Capital Budget, which is set in the context of a multi-year Capital Plan. The budgets for Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health, both separate corporations, are not included in this Budget Plan, although they are incorporated into the university’s annual audited financial report.
