From the Graveyard
You just read about Broadcom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
BroadLight built GPON processors and broadband access silicon. What became of it?
BroadLight brought GPON processors and broadband access silicon to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Broadcom for US$230M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Broadcom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.

You just read about Flash. Here is what it replaced:
EPROM (UV-erasable) served 1971–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
EPROM (UV-erasable) floating-gate ROM erased by shining ultraviolet light through a quartz window, then reprogrammed on a special programmer. Its job passed to Flash — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
