Personal Computers Apple

Personal computing had already begun in the 1980s with those tiny boxes called (for example) Commodore PETs, Apples, Apricots, Acorns, Dragons and so on. Most of my friends ignored the fact that PET was an acronym, and took one home in the belief that it would somehow change their life for the better and also become a family friend. Very few of them could have written a 1024 word essay describing the uses of a home computer. They probably still can t. 

Room-temperature fluorescence (RTF) has been used to determine the emission characteristics of a wide variety of materials relative to the wavelengths of selected Fraunhofer lines in support of the Fraunhofer luminescence detector remote-sensing instrument. RTF techniques are now used in the compilation of excitation-emission-matrix (EEM) fluorescence "signatures" of materials. The spectral data are collected with a Perkin-Elraer MPF-44B Fluorescence Spectrometer interfaced to an Apple 11+ personal computer. EEM fluorescence data can be displayed as 3-D perspective plots, contour plots, or "color-contour" images. The integrated intensity for selected Fraunhofer lines can also be directly extracted from the EEM data rather than being collected with a separate procedure. Fluorescence, chemical, and mineralogical data will be statistically analyzed to determine the probable physical and/or chemical causes of the fluorescence.

A rigorous mathematical model was developed for this system using the correlations and data presented in Refs. Al and A2. The model enabled the sizing of the column and the optimization of tray spacing. It was run on the APPLE Macintosh (512K) personal computer. 

The computer program written to describe and implement the mathematical model was run on an APPLE Macintosh personal computer. A listing of the program is not included due to limitations of space. However, sample results obtained from the program for the particular design problem considered in this project are given in Table G4. 

The need for technology development drives science, and discoveries in science drive society. Arguably, the first personal computers were mass-marketed by IBM and Apple in the late 1970 s. The IBM 5100 had 16K memory, a five inch screen, and cost nearly 11,000 in 1975 A mere twenty-five years later, computers are everywhere and used for everything. They have gigabytes of memory and monitors larger than some televisions Why did computers develop so quickly Because of the interconnection between science, technology, and society. 

Graphical simulations were performed using the graphing calculator function on an Apple Macintosh PowerPC personal computer.

Consider the personal computer (PC), for example. The initial market was developed by Apple Computer, which first created a functional tool from what had been a hobbyist s toy. But Apple was slow in moving this innovation into the mainstream of business users and left it for IBM to introduce the PC into mass markets in 1981. That innovation began a transition that changed forever the nature of information services enjoyed by customers, whose work lives and personal possibilities were irrevocably altered. Over the next 20 years, the basis of competition for all involved in the computer industry—computer makers, software companies, and microprocessor makers—shifted from advanced technology to lowest cost, and eventually to services, frequently the end point of the commoditization process.

SMDE Model 303 and implementing up to six different techniques. Even more powerful is the BAS-100 Electrochemical Analyzer from Bloanalytlcal Systems, capable of Implementing up to 29 different techniques under the control of Its built-in microprocessor. It can be linked to a personal computer fitted with disc drive. BAS also market software for use with their system and an IBM PC or Apple lie computer. 

Apple Computer Corporation s Macintosh personal computer is also gaining popularity in the chemical/pharmaceutical industry. However, the availability of software is not as great as for the IBM PC. 

In 1987, Apple engineer Steve Sakoman came up with an idea for a tablet-like device radically different than the personal computer as then known. Jean-Louis Gass6e, at the time head of Apple R D, put him in charge of a skunkworks project to develop the idea. As envisioned, the device would have the ability to read handwritten notes jotted on its screen with a special pen, convert them to text, store them for future use,... transmit them wirelessly to other computers, ... 

B-type projects are more ambitious. They often involve the next generation of a base product. The continual upgrading in personal computers is a good example. A product in the B category could produce the same effect on the process dimension. However, it does not have to. The C-type project is the breakthrough in either product or process. Apple s iPod is a product example. In retailing, the growth of Internet sales is an example of a C project on the process side. D efforts represent...
