occupied 200,000-square-foot area, which includes 62,000 square area feet of clean room space that the company are using to produces wafer. Wafer fabrication is a very time-consuming and complicated procedure. It is the process of building integrated circuits on silicon wafers. According to Twin Cities Business magazine report, (PSI) has a plan to expend the facility by adding on their present 200,000 square-foot facility that located in Bloomington. By the time when the new expansion completed it will

opposed to the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the Public Switched Telephone network (PSTN). Traditionally when one wishes to make a phone call, a call is placed using a telephone that is connected to a circuit-switched network. In a circuit switched network, network resources are static; the network resources are allocated from the sender to the receiver before the start of the voice transmission. Two points are connected in both directions thus creating a "circuit". The resources remain

companies will be discussed concerning their business decisions of diversification. The first company, Circuit City, was unsuccessful at broadening their business, and eventually had to shut down the business. The other company, Canon, was successful at broadening their brand and scope of the business. This paper will compare and contrast their businesses, outcomes and reasons for the differences. Circuit City was established by Samuel S. Wurtzel in 1949 as the Wards Co. that sold Televisions and home

A. 1. SWOT Analysis Strengths IBM’s continued domination of the global market produced record increases in revenues every year, with most of the revenues coming from its highly successful System/360 and System/370 mainframe series. These powerful mainframes, which fully automated a company’s manual information processing systems, became the industry standard that competitors tried to match. Apart from this, IBM’s high-priced lease strategy, backed by excellent customer service, also contributed

RC Time Constant Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to show how a capacitor charges and discharges exponentially. It is also to determine the time constant of an RC circuit. Equipment: 2 resistors, 2 capacitors, power amplifier, Digital multmeter, interface box, computer Theory: A capacitor charges exponentially, that is that initially charge accumulates easily on the plates but then it becomes increasingly difficult to keep adding charge to the capacitor. This is because more

Raymond Moenich III IC IC stands for Integrated Circuits. An IC is a semiconductor circuit that has more than one component on the same substrate material. Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby are both credited with the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 and 1959. ICs are also called chips and are used for a variety of applications, including audio and video equipment, microprocessors, and automobiles. ICs are classified by the number of electronic components they contain. SSI stands for small-scale

the beginning of the "Second Generation" of computers in 1947. Unfortunately, the 2nd Generation did not advance as much as most people hoped, but eventually, the "Third Generation" was brought about by the invention of integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors, and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time, and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning

Company Overview Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore were among the eight founders of Fairfield Semiconductor in the late 1950’s. While at Fairchild Moore & Noyce decided to branch out on their own and start a company developing large scale integrated circuits. Noyce wrote a one page business plan that attracted an investor named Art Rock, who was also at Fairchild. Rock was able to sell their vision to other investors and raised 2.5 million dollars in only two days. Together with this money they started
