...Westinghouse, scientists are working on the idea of using superconductors for electric-power production. Today's nonsuperconducting generators produce electricity by spinning wire-wrapped rotors in a magnetic field; their output is typically some 300 megawatts a generator. If the field were generated even by conventional superconducting electromagnets, says Research Director John Hulm, the output could be doubled. The benefits would be even greater with high-temperature superconductors...
Just as competitive as personal-computer makers are the feisty independent companies that write the software for the machines. The programming firms, only frail upstarts not long ago, now constitute a $3.3 billion U.S. industry whose creative output is the lifeblood of the computer business. Last week two major hardware manufacturers, IBM and Apple, announced major moves that could have an impact on the balance of competitive power in the bruising software business. Apple said it will create a new programming company, to be financed with some of the manufacturer's $700 million cash hoard, while IBM announced...
WOLFE WROTE in a ceaseless quest for a meaning grandiose enough to explain his life. This quest, argues Donald, formed the basis of his genius. It caused him to produce a tremendous output, which ranged from the admirable to the ridiculous. For example, Wolfe once wrote an account that, according to Donald...
Japan claims it has taken strenuous action to live up to the agreement. Even before the U.S. announcement, the country's Ministry of International Trade and Industry earlier last week had ordered its semiconductor industry to reduce the output of some types of chips by 10% in the second quarter, which comes on top of a 10% cut in the previous period. Part of Japan's difficulty in preventing rampant discounting of its chips is a severe glut in the $31 billion worldwide market for semiconductors. Several Japanese trading companies buy surplus chips from manufacturers inside the country and then...
...even Thatcher's most bitter enemies cannot deny that the economy is rebounding smartly. Consumer spending rose by 5% last year, while inflation simmered at a low 3.4%. The output of the once sickly manufacturing sector is up by 5%. The government even predicted last week that the 11.9% unemployment rate would fall below 3 million by July, which would be the first time that had happened since 1984. But both opposition politicians and some economists were skeptical of the claim, and noted as well that Lawson's tax cuts came about largely because record corporate profits and a surge...
