The Relationship between Institutional Common Ownership, Marketing, and Firm Performance Abstract The growth in institutional holdings of public firms has led to increased interest in the concept of common ownership, in which the same investor owns stakes in multiple firms within the same industry. Economic theory suggests that common ownership could affect firm performance, but little empirical research has examined the nature of this effect or how a firm’s extant marketing potentially relates to this effect.

A better way to cloud: TI’s new KeyStone multicore SoCs revitalize cloud applications Announcement quote sheet 3L Ltd. “Supporting TI’s new KeyStone-based multicore SoCs is a natural extension for us, as we have been simplifying the development of solutions involving multiple processing elements for over 20 years,” said Peter Robertson, President and TechFounder, 3L Ltd. “Together with TI, we’re making designing with multicore easier for developers by automating the interconnection management when tasks are removed between cores or devices. The end result of our collaboration is making the development processes easier, faster and more efficient for designers.” 6WIND “We are delighted to support TI as it broadens its KeyStone-based SoC product line into additional markets with critical network performance requirements,” said Eric Carmès, CEO, 6WIND. “As one of the first members of the TI Design Network to announce support for the KeyStone multicore architecture, we look forward to providing the proven 6WINDGate™ packet processing software to our mutual customers. The combination of the 6WINDGate software and the newest KeyStone architecture-based SoCs represent an ideal system solution for the demanding network performance challenges faced in today’s mobile and cloud infrastructure markets.” Advantech “With TI’s new KeyStone-based multicore SoCs, Advantech is able to expand its product lines from existing DSP-based signal and media processing centric solutions to hybrid designs that leverage multiple ARM and DSP cores in a seamless integration for control and data processing,” said David Lin, senior director of DSP and video solutions, Advantech.

Thanks to the T3Ster, these measurements are very quick and easy to perform. With the help of the T3Ster- Master software we are not only able to give customers strong confidence that our compact thermal models are correct, but also give them insights into how the heat can be dissipated to the environment and the impact of possible faults that may occur during board assembly. Furthermore, for determining the properties of SOI materials, we also measure special test chips with T3Ster, yielding reliable data for thermal simulations of our own SOI chips. T3Ster is a highly versatile piece of equipment. I am sure that we will find other application areas in the near future.” - Ir. John H.J. Janssen, Manager Virtual Prototyping, Senior Principal, NXP Semiconductors, Nijmegen, The Netherlands “As LEDs become more powerful, more attention should be paid to thermal management, which is essential to ensure “To reliably measure the interface resistance we needed a stable LED performance and long lifetime. This is why OSRAM transient measuring method. We chose the T3Ster is devoting considerable attention to thermal design. T3Ster’s because of its compactness and ease of use, allowing us accuracy and repeatability enable us to verify our thermal to improve data acquisition and processing of the designs and confirm the stability and reliability of our transient thermal data.
