Examples of de facto standards that were not approved by any standards organizations ( or at least not approved until after they were in widespread de facto use ) include the Hayes command set developed by Hayes, Apple's TrueType font design and the PCL protocol used by Hewlett-Packard in the computer printers they produced.

SM-1 and SM-2 were clones of Hewlett-Packard minicomputers.

Some of the prominent early applications of CORDIC were in the Convair navigation computers CORDIC I to CORDIC III, the Hewlett-Packard HP-9100 and HP-35 calculators, the Intel 80x87 coprocessor series until Intel 80486, and Motorola 68881.

Some of the reasons are that large corporations, such as General Electric, Hewlett-Packard and Northrop Grumman have been recently working in the development and research of nanorobots ; surgeons are getting involved and starting to propose ways to apply nanorobots for common medical procedures ; universities and research institutes were granted funds by government agencies exceeding $ 2 billion towards research developing nanodevices for medicine ; bankers are also strategically investing with the intent to acquire beforehand rights and royalties on future nanorobots commercialization.

There was also a requirement of a minimum of three characters in the name, though some exceptions like hp. es ( Hewlett-Packard Spain ) and pp. es ( People's Party ) were allowed.

By the mid 1990s major PC OEMs such as Compaq and Hewlett-Packard were outsourcing their own complete end-to-end system design and manufacture to Original Design Manufacturers ( ODMs ) based in Taiwan, and were moving at least some of their manufacturing to cheaper locations overseas.

The HP 9800 was a family of what were initially called programmable calculators and later desktop computers made by Hewlett-Packard, replacing their first HP 9100 calculator.

By 1992 the cost of typical recorders was down to $ 10 – 12, 000, and in September 1995 Hewlett-Packard introduced its model 4020i manufactured by Philips, which at $ 995 was the first recorder to cost less than $ 1000.

DEC was acquired in June 1998 by Compaq, which subsequently merged with Hewlett-Packard in May 2002.

Theoretically, GIMPS holds rank 153 of the TOP500 ( fall 2011 ), after rank 152 which, is hold by a ' HP DL160 Cluster G6 ' of Hewlett-Packard.

The main architect of the system was Dave Cutler, one of the chief architects of VMS at Digital Equipment Corporation ( later acquired by Compaq, now part of Hewlett-Packard ).

The architecture originated at Hewlett-Packard ( HP ), and was later jointly developed by HP and Intel.

The KSR-1 chipset was fabricated by Sharp Corporation while the KSR-2 chipset was built by Hewlett-Packard.

Founded in 1989 by eleven companies ( including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Apple Computer, American Airlines and Data General ), OMG's initial focus was to create a heterogeneous distributed object standard.

For example, CSR plc's IPS PS3 interpreter, formerly known as PhoenixPage, is standard in many printers and MFPs, including those developed by Hewlett-Packard and sold under the LaserJet and Color LaserJet lines.

* HP-GL and HP-GL / 2, geometric language introduced by Hewlett-Packard for pen plotters, still in use today for technical drawings
