Meanwhile, in 2013, it will roll out its 20nm planar process for customers that need to move more quickly.

The joint venture used a new cell structure (called a planar cell) that enabled more aggressive cell scaling than conventional architectures.
The New York City artist worked with screens provided by Planar, an Oregon-based company which specializes in architectural video walls.

All engineering mumbo-jumbo aside, the resulting nanocone-tipped cells converted light-to-power with efficiency of 3.2% compared to 1.8% efficiency of conventional planar structure of the same materials.

Indeed, from a corner viewpoint our eye moves up from planar surfaces to solid volumes in an elegant juxtaposition of horizontal, vertical, diagonal and rounded elements.
The planar cell structure integrated a Hi-K (high capacitance) metal gate stack into the NAND production to allow for smaller floating gates and thus higher storage capacity.
Planar is doing its part by offering both TV-tuner and S-Video inputs, allowing the monitors to accept input from a TV cable or from a DVD player.
One vendor, Planar Systems (nasdaq: PLNR - news - people ), released two new models this week, one measuring 19 inches, the other 20.1 inches.
The shift from planar to FinFET-based 3D transistors is a significant change that requires close technical collaboration between tool developers, foundries and early adopters to deliver a strong solution.
Although slightly modified later, the interior reveals many of the same elements for example, a mix of the planar and sculptural in the flat walls and ceiling, in contrast to the solidly massed pulpit.
While the FinFET process offers significant power and performance benefits compared to the traditional planar process, the move from two-dimensional transistors to three-dimensional transistors introduces several new IP and EDA tool challenges such as modeling.
It states that any planar map (that is to say, a flat one) can be coloured with at most four colours in a way that no two regions with the same colour share a border.
The 20nm 64Gb NAND uses a planar cell structure -- the first in the industry -- to overcome the inherent difficulties that accompany advanced process technology, enabling performance and reliability on par with the previous 25nm generation.
Occasionally, too, an individual comes along to commission an important work of art or architecture like Planar House designed by the Stephen Holl (who is, however, already a name in architecture, thus less an investment risk).
While the Claro TV fights off the dimness so often associated with watching front-projection in broad daylight, and Planar's Xscreen claims to work without the gargantuous pricetag, now there's yet another firm in the mix of miracle-working screens.
