Qualcomm’s Board of Directors announced a 9 percent increase in the company’s quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly cash dividend will increase from $0.57 to $0.62 per share of common stock and will be effective for quarterly dividends payable after March 21, 2018. This dividend increase will raise the annualized dividend payout to $2.48 per share of common stock.

You just read about Qualcomm. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) built Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, audio and location semiconductors. What became of it?
Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) brought Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, audio and location semiconductors to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Qualcomm for US$2.5B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Qualcomm today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — 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.
