Dutch physicists Hendrik B. G. Casimir and Dirk Polder at Philips Research Labs proposed the existence of a force between two polarizable atoms and between such an atom and a conducting plate in 1947, and, after a conversation with Niels Bohr who suggested it had something to do with zero-point energy, Casimir alone formulated the theory predicting a force between neutral conducting plates in 1948 ; the former is called the Casimir-Polder force while the latter is the Casimir effect in the narrow sense.

Few personal computers used the 80186, with some notable exceptions: the Australian Dulmont Magnum laptop, one of the first laptops ; the Wang Office Assistant, marketed as a PC-like stand-alone word processor ; the Mindset ; the Siemens PC-D ( not 100 % IBM PC-compatible but using MS-DOS 2. 11: de: Siemens PC-D ); the Compis ( a Swedish school computer ); the RM Nimbus ( a British school computer ); the Unisys ICON ( a Canadian school computer ); ORB Computer by ABS ; the HP 100LX, HP 200LX, HP 1000CX and HP OmniGo 700LX ; the Tandy 2000 desktop ( a somewhat PC-compatible workstation with sharp graphics for its day ); the Philips: YES ; the Nokia MikroMikko 2.

A rare model, the Philips Videopac G7200, was only released in Europe ; it had a built-in black-and-white monitor.

In Brazil, the console was released as the Philips Odyssey ; the Magnavox Odyssey was released in Brazil by a company named " Planil Comércio ", not affiliated to Philips or Magnavox.

In the first production runs of the Magnavox Odyssey and the Philips 7000, these were permanently attached to the console ; in later models, they were removable and replaceable.

The Philips Videopac + G7400 was a video game console released in limited quantities in 1983, and only in Europe ; an American release as the Odyssey³ Command Center was planned but never occurred.

In 1974, the Magnavox Company was acquired by Philips, and all Philips consumer electronics in the US under the Norelco name began rebranding them under the Magnavox name ; Philips acquired the similar-sounding company Philco in 1981, and Philips was able to freely use the Philips name, alternating with the Magnavox name for some electronics, with the personal care business continuing to use the Norelco name.

I²C (" eye-squared cee " or " eye-two-cee " Inter-Integrated Circuit ; generically referred to as " two-wire interface ") is a multi-master serial single-ended computer bus invented by Philips that is used to attach low-speed peripherals to a motherboard, embedded system, cellphone, or other electronic device.

Philips developed an alternative noise reduction system known as Dynamic Noise Limiter ( DNL ) which did not require the tapes to be processed during recording ; this was also the basis of the later DNR noise reduction.

A phenomenon that is commonly presented as evidence for the existence of zero-point energy in vacuum is the Casimir effect, proposed in 1948 by Dutch physicist Hendrik B. G. Casimir ( Philips Research ), who considered the quantized electromagnetic field between a pair of grounded, neutral metal plates.

Philips recommends the use of a mercury vacuum cleaner, ventilation or respiratory protection, eye protection, and protective clothing when dealing with broken lamps.

Pro Electron took the popular European coding system in use from around 1934 for valves ( tubes ), the Mullard – Philips tube designation, and essentially re-allocated several of the rarely-used heater designations ( first letter of the part number ) for semiconductors.

Since Philips held a patent on this design, other manufacturers were keen to produce pentode type tubes without infringing the patent.

The first Philips CD-i player, released in 1991 and initially priced around USD $ 700, is capable of playing interactive CD-i discs, Audio CDs, CD + G ( CD + Graphics ), Karaoke CDs, and Video CDs ( VCDs ), though the last requires an optional " Digital Video Card " to provide MPEG-1 decoding.

In the early 1980s, Philips worked with Sony to invent a standard for optical audio discs ( CDs ), using the technology developed for the " Laser Disc ".

A few years later, Philips decided to give CDs the ability to produce video just like its 12-inch counterpart.

Along with dedicated Karaoke machines, other consumer devices that play CD + G format CDs include the NEC TurboGrafx-CD ( a CD-ROM peripheral for the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 ) and Turbo Duo, the Philips CD-i, the Sega Saturn, Mega-CD, the JVC X ' Eye, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, the Amiga CD32 and Commodore CDTV, and the Atari Jaguar CD ( which was an attachment for the Atari Jaguar ).

Some standalone Philips Photo / Audio CD players could play Portfolio CDs and windows player application was freely available.
