In 1939, two young Americans - Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard - with their only $538 savings, opened a garage on Addison Street that could only accommodate one car. Inside, he started his entrepreneurial career. Today, 69 years later, this magical garage has not only become a symbol of Hewlett-Packard's innovation and culture, but is also recognized as the birthplace of the global high-tech town-Silicon Valley. In 1987, it was identified as a milestone in the development history of California. historical relics.
Technological innovation is the engine for the growth of IT companies. HP has always been at the forefront of the industry in technological innovation. Now, HP has a corporate culture that advocates innovation, an open environment that encourages innovation, and a complete innovation system including the Central Research Institute (HP Labs), product design and development center, and intellectual property evaluation, enabling HP to often launch innovative products. An epoch-making innovation. HP invests more than US$3.6 billion in R&D funding every year and owns more than 30,000 technology patents around the world.
HP was once the only high-tech company to put the word "invent" into its company logo. It is no exaggeration to say that the growth process of HP is a history of continuously promoting technological innovation. With HP Labs as its core, HP is committed to continuous innovation and dedication to technological innovation, thereby promoting industry progress and providing customers with more and better technology application experiences.
Many of HP's inventions and innovations over the years were "leading" and unparalleled at the time, and some became part of Agilent Technologies, which branched off from HP in 1999. Today, HP is leveraging its successful experience in technological innovation in various parts of the world, including China, and working hand in hand with customers, business partners, government agencies, universities, standards organizations and banks around the world to jointly develop humanity. A bright future of scientific and technological innovation. HP Atomic Clock
In 1964, Hewlett-Packard launched the highly accurate HP 5060A cesium beam time standard. In 1967, engineers from Hewlett-Packard flew to 18 countries around the world with the atomic clock they developed to calibrate international standard time locally. The cesium beam time standard eventually became the standard for calibrating international time, reducing the difference in global time to less than one microsecond. Since then, HP Labs has continued to innovate technology. The HP 5071A, launched in 1991, is twice as accurate as its predecessor. It is only one second slower every 1.6 million years. It is the most accurate commercial timing device in the world.
Light-Emitting Diode
HP Labs developed the first light-emitting diode (LED) for commercial circulation, with applications including indicator lights, traffic signals and even wound treatment dials. alphanumeric display. Since then, HP Labs has made many major innovations in light-emitting diode technology.
Portable Scientific Calculator
The first portable scientific calculator: HP Labs engineers rose to Bill Hewlett’s challenge to develop the world’s first A scientific calculator that fits in your shirt pocket. The advent of the HP 35 consigned the slide rule to the dustbin of history.
Programmable Scientific Desktop Calculator
The first programmable scientific desktop calculator: the HP 9100A—actually the first personal computer—capable of A small magnetic card stores programs that solve scientific research and engineering problems ten times faster than most other machines, paving the way for the development of HP's workstation business.
Thermal inkjet printing technology
Based on the thermal inkjet technology developed by HP Laboratories in the 1970s, HP launched the first inkjet printer. For the first time, HP ThinkJet made high-quality, low-priced personal printers possible, making dot-matrix and impact printers a thing of the past.
64-bit architecture (Itanium)
Based on the research results of HP Labs starting in 1981, staff worked hand in hand with Intel engineers to develop what would eventually become Intel's next-generation security Teng architecture technology, launched in 2001, improves 32-bit computing to 64-bit.
Molecular Logic Circuits
Scientists from HP Labs and UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) have taken the lead in developing the world's first molecular logic circuit, aiming to use chemical means to A fundamental step forward in assembling electronic nanocomputers.
Open Source Code
The Internet's ability to transform interactions between merchants and merchants and between merchants and customers is widely recognized. As researchers at HP Labs created e-Speak, an advanced working model now known as Web services, HP launched an unprecedented move to open source.
Rewritable DVD System
HP scientists provide innovative technology for the first rewritable DVD system (DVD RW) that is compatible with standard DVD players . This technology enables users to record, erase and re-record videos on disk and play them on any common DVD player.
Intelligent Cooling
HP Labs used computational fluid dynamics to create a three-dimensional model of heat distribution suitable for data centers. HP then launched an "intelligent" cooling solution at large Dramatically reducing energy consumption can save business users millions of dollars every year.
