The REX firmware was written by Starfish Software, and the hardware was manufactured by Citizen Electronics.

Philippe Kahn was instrumental in the founding vision for synchronization with Starfish Software, later acquired by Motorola.

Kahn has founded four technology companies: Fullpower Technologies, Starfish Software, LightSurf Technologies and Borland.

Kahn is married to Sonia Lee, who co-founded Fullpower Technologies, LightSurf and Starfish Software, and with whom he has a daughter.

Kahn has founded four software companies: Fullpower Technologies, founded in 2003, LightSurf Technologies ( acquired by VeriSign in 2005 ), Starfish Software ( acquired by Motorola in 1998 ), and Borland, founded in 1982.

Starfish Prime was the first successful test in the series of United States high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 known as Operation Fishbowl.

The EMP damage of the Starfish Prime test was quickly repaired because of the ruggedness ( compared to today ) of the electrical and electronic infrastructure of Hawaii in 1962.

The relatively small magnitude of the Starfish Prime EMP in Hawaii ( about 5600 volts / metre ) and the relatively small amount of damage done ( for example, only 1 to 3 percent of streetlights extinguished ) led some scientists to believe, in the early days of EMP research, that the problem might not be as significant as was later realized.

Although these weapons were much smaller ( 300 kiloton or 1. 3 PJ ) than the Starfish Prime test, since those tests were done over a populated large land mass ( and also at a location where the Earth's magnetic field was greater ), the damage caused by the resulting EMP was reportedly much greater than in the Starfish Prime nuclear test.

In the Starfish Prime nuclear test, most satellite damage was due to damage to the solar panels from satellites passing through radiation belts created by the high altitude nuclear explosion.

Since the E1 component of nuclear EMP depends on the prompt gamma ray output, which was only 0. 1 % of yield in Starfish Prime but can be 0. 5 % of yield in pure fission weapons of low yield, a 10 kiloton bomb can easily be 5 x 8 % = 40 % as powerful as the 1. 44 megaton Starfish Prime at producing EMP.

In the thermonuclear Starfish Prime the fission yield was less than 100 % to begin with, and then the thicker outer casing absorbed about 95 % of the prompt gamma rays from the pusher around the fusion stage.

Transit 4B was notable for sustaining damage in a nuclear explosion, specifically the United States Starfish Prime high-altitude nuclear test in 1962.

James Pond was followed by two sequels ; James Pond 2: Codename Robocod and James Pond 3: Operation Starfish.

Sidekick 2. 0 was also developed and initially released by Borland before the move to Starfish.

It was developed to measure radiation before and after nuclear tests conducted during the US project Starfish.

This was the Starfish Prime event of nuclear test operation Dominic-Fishbowl.

The 2008 version was: Kelly, Freud, his son Jackson Freud ( from Attack of the Mannequins ) on guitar, Tim Rosewarne ( ex-Big Pig, Chocolate Starfish ) on keyboards and Cameron Goold ( Propaganda Klann, Christine Anu backing band ) on drums.

) The movie, a compilation of characters and story lines from their own college experiences, was quickly accepted for the Hamptons International Film Festival where it won the top jury award, The Golden Starfish.

The nearly flat area just east of the Y-junction on Chew Hill was initially chosen as a Starfish site area to be lit by fires to simulate Bristol in flames.

USS Starfish, a fictional submarine named for the various species of class Asteroidea, was the setting for the movie Hellcats of the Navy.

It provided information on the effects of radiation from nuclear explosions in space, as it was one of several satellites whose detectors provided data for the Starfish Prime test ; ultimately its solar cells were damaged by the radiation and it ceased operation.

She realized an early ambition, at age 19, when she launched her own fashion collection-“ Pinky Starfish .” Known for its dresses made from French vintage fabrics, the range was sold in Tracey Ross, Lisa Kline and Barney ’ s.

Hauer is a dedicated environmentalist and has founded an AIDS awareness organization, the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

After Pseudo Echo disbanded in 1990, Canham moved into record production including Chocolate Starfish's 1994 debut album, Chocolate Starfish, which peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Rosewarne went on to join a successful rock outfit, Chocolate Starfish, in 1994.

* 1962 – The Starfish Prime high-altitude nuclear test is conducted by the United States.

Starfish Prime also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link.

Starfish would later be acquired by Motorola.

Soviet officials claimed that manned spaceflights were impossible for a time due to a high-altitude nuclear test by the United States — probably Starfish Prime.

During the Hardtack Teak test in 1958 observers noted the damaging effects of the electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) caused by the explosions on electronic equipment, and during the Starfish Prime test in 1962 the EMP from a 1. 4 Mt warhead detonated over the Pacific damaged three satellites and also disrupted power transmission and communications across the Pacific.

Starfish have tube feet operated by a hydraulic system and a mouth at the centre of the oral or lower surface.

The band's followup album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, set a record for highest week-one sales of a rock album with over one million copies sold in the U. S. in its first week of release, with 400, 000 of those sales coming on its first day, making it the fastest-selling rock album ever, breaking the record held for 7 years by Pearl Jam's Vs.

In 1963 Simone became the world's first female aquanaut by living in Starfish House, an underwater habitat, for the final four days of the Conshelf II project.

The RPK-2 Viyuga (, meaning blizzard ), also designated 81R, and identified by NATO as Starfish and the United States Department of Defense as SS-N-15, is a Russian submarine launched, nuclear-armed anti-submarine missile system.

UFO Entertainment later released a spiritual successor to the series called Heavenly Guardian, developed by Starfish, for the PS2 and Wii systems.
