Cavendish Kinetics Names Richard Knipe VP of Engineering & CTO.Industry Veteran Joins Executive Team SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Cavendish Kinetics, the Nanomech(tm) embedded non-volatile memory Refers to memory chips that hold their content without power being applied. It may refer to chips that are not changeable, such as ROMs and PROMs, or to chips that can be rewritten many times such as flash memory. intellectual property (IP) company, announced today that Richard Knipe has joined the company as Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer. "Richard is an excellent addition to our executive team," said Dennis Yost, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Cavendish Kinetics. "He brings a wealth of experience in development, transferring technology into volume production and building first-class engineering organizations. The timing is perfect for Richard to move Cavendish's Nanomech embedded non-volatile memory forward." Dr. Knipe brings over 22 years of semiconductor industry experience to Cavendish Kinetics. In his most recent assignment at Texas Instruments, he served as the Business Manager for the DLP (Digital Light Processing) A data projection technology from TI that produces clear, readable images on screens in lit rooms. DLP is used in all types of projection devices, from data projectors that weigh only a few pounds to large rear-projection TVs to electronic Optical Networking and Digital Sensor Groups. In addition, he has held other senior management positions at Texas Instruments and was responsible for bringing the very successful Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology out of development and into production. Dr. Knipe holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington For other system schools, see University of Texas System. History Established in 1895 as Arlington College, it was renamed Carlisle Military Academy (1902), Arlington Training School (1913), and Arlington Military Academy (1916). and holds over 20 patents. "Cavendish Kinetics is in an excellent position from a market, technology and people position to be a leader in the marketplace," said Richard Knipe. "The company has a great opportunity to change the landscape of embedded non-volatile memory and I look forward to contributing to its success." About Cavendish Kinetics Cavendish Kinetics is a fabless semiconductor IP company developing embedded Non-Volatile Memory technology for standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. processes. Its Nanomech(tm) technology is a novel non-volatile memory solution, residing in the metal interconnect system, yielding no impact to existing IP, scaling to 45nm and below, operating beyond 200 degrees centigrade centigrade /cen·ti·grade/ (sen´ti-grad) having 100 gradations (steps or degrees); see under scale. cen·ti·grade adj. Celsius. in a radiation harsh environment, and porting easily to different process technologies. Nanomech programs at high-speed and at native voltage requiring no high voltage overhead. It has ultra low-power write/erase and read with no leakage current. The base technology has been silicon proven and it has demonstrated 20M-cycle endurance.
