bp, what is going on here? This English Challenged farmer has to translate a simple word? "Erumpent" means bursting through, from Latin "erumpens" also the source for the more common "erupt". Zeev.

Sorry if this has already been posted. 09:25 AM ET 05/18/99 Hitachi, Cambridge Unveil New Chip Hitachi, Cambridge Unveil New Chip TOKYO (AP) _ Japan's Hitachi Ltd. and the University of Cambridge have developed a computer chip that could lead to smaller and faster computer equipment and cellular phones, Hitachi said Tuesday. The semiconductors, called PLEDM chips, could replace a variety of today's memory devices, Hitachi said in a press release. The chips, which could show up in products in five years, pack information into a smaller space than conventional dynamic random access memory chips, the main memories in computers today, the electronics giant said. In addition, the chips retain their memory even without power. That feature could make the new technology handy for use in cellular phones, for example, which must retain phone numbers even when the batteries fail. Hitachi's European arm and the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University hope to produce memory chips using the technology within a year and have it on the market within five, they announced in London on Monday. DRAM chips are made up of transistors, which regulate the flow of electricity, and capacitors, which store a charge. The key to developing the PLEDM chip, an acronym for Phase-state Low Electron Drive Memory, was to use a second transistor instead of a capacitor, Hitachi said.
