Rambus Reaches 400th Issued Patent Milestone; Total Issued and Pending Patents Exceed 800.LOS ALTOS Los Altos (lôs ăl`tōs, lŏs), residential city (1990 pop. 26,303), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1952. There is diversified light manufacturing. , Calif. -- Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS RMBS Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities RMBS Rambus, Inc. (NASDAQ stock symbol) RMBS Russian Mortgage-Backed Securities ), one of the world's premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed chip interfaces, today announced that it has reached 400 issued patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and foreign patent offices. Rambus's patent portfolio covers fundamental inventions made in the area of high-speed signaling including those underlying all modern DRAM memory products. Rambus is a leading developer of technologies and solutions addressing today's challenging chip interface designs. Since its founding in 1990, Rambus has focused on advancing system performance through innovations in logic and memory interfaces, controller architecture, high-speed parallel and serial links, and advanced system design. The result is a broad portfolio of innovations that enables semiconductor manufacturers and system designers to achieve the highest levels of performance -- providing consumers with products delivering life-like digital images, seamless connectivity and blazingly fast operating speeds The operating speed of a road is the speed at which motor vehicles generally operate on that road. The precise definition of "operating speed", however, is open to debate. . Further, Rambus's innovations allow its customers to lower system costs, mitigate risk, and reduce time to market through silicon-proven designs. "Rambus has a rich history of designing and developing some of the world's most advanced signaling technologies," said Kent Richardson, vice president of Intellectual Property at Rambus. "It is rewarding to reach this milestone which recognizes the superior research and development work and industry contributions made by our Rambus engineering team." To date, Rambus interface innovations have been incorporated into virtually all personal computers and into many other high-volume applications in computing computing - computer , communications, and consumer electronics, such as servers, workstations, printers, routers, switches, video projectors A video projector takes a video signal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through , digital TVs, set-top boxes The cable TV box that sits on "top" of the TV "set," although it is often located several feet away in an equipment rack. The set-top box descrambles the premium channels and provides a tuner for the higher cable numbers that very old TVs did not support. and video game consoles This is a list of video game consoles by the era they appeared in. Eras are named based on the dominant console type of the era (even though not all consoles of those eras are of the same type). Some eras are referred to based on how many bits a major console could process. . As signaling speeds continue to increase, Rambus innovations will become increasingly critical in the implementation of other interfaces such as advanced serial link architectures and high-speed parallel interfaces. Rambus now has 400 issued and 421 pending patents. For more information on Rambus's patent portfolio, visit www.rambus.com/products/innovationslicensing/. About Rambus Inc.
