Disk drive vets plan storage market attack
Article Abstract:
Terastor Corp is a new company formed by executives seasoned in the computer storage industry. The company does not plan to unveil any products until 1998, but if it proves successful in its goals, it may shake up the disk storage market with its Near Field Recording (NFR) technology that uses both magneto and optical storage technologies to produce maximum storage capacity. Besides offering competitive price and speed equivalents, the new product line based on NFR will offer up to 10 times the storage capacity of conventional drives. The Terastor product is based on several patents it has required including 26 from Quantum Corp, which involve flying head and first surface recording, and three from Stanford University, which involve NFR technology.

When passive meets active
Article Abstract:
Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCCs), multilayer devices for RF applications that combine embedded analog (passive) ICs with active ICs in a ceramic substrate, are finding new applications in the wireless and automotive industries, thus driving a promising new market. The sale of GPS, wireless, and other LTCC-based devices will likely grow to a $2.5 billion market in 2001. LTCCs combine passive, active and interconnect devices in one multilayer module, creating a device that not only offers better high-frequency performance, but is only one-fourth as big as and much lighter than rival solutions. For example, National Semiconductor plans to design and build LTCC-based cellular phone base stations.
