Pondering the difficulty, Hoff was suddenly struck by a novel idea. Why not place most of the calculator's arithmetic and logic circuitry on one chip of silicon, leaving mainly input-output and programming units on separate chips? It was a daring conceptual move. After wrestling with the design, Hoff and his associates at Intel finally concentrated nearly all the elements of a central processing unit (CPU), the computer's electronic heart and soul, on a single silicon chip...
...settled at a lesser amount. While acknowledging the anguish of Grimshaw's injury, Ford asserted that the award is "so unreasonable and unwarranted that it will not be upheld." The 1972 Pinto, added the company, "met all applicable federal safety standards. It was not defective in construction or design...
...small to meet the demand for an intermediate-range plane carrying 180 to 200 people. Many aerospace manufacturers have been reluctant to build new planes until they learn what Boeing, the industry leader, is going to do. Now Boeing seems to have settled on a basic design for a "high technology" jet. Says Jerry Cosley, TWA's director of technical information: "It could set standards for the design and purchase of aircraft for the next two decades. But it is still only a paper plane, and airlines like to see planes fly before they make up their minds...
Cockpit instruments will be electronic digital readouts. New composite building materials will make the plane much lighter than current aircraft. A top-secret wing design will be more efficient, providing greater speeds and range for less engine thrust; and the engines will use less fuel and make less noise than existing jets...
