While the 3, 000 mile buffer between it and Xerox headquarters in Rochester, New York afforded scientists at the new lab great freedom to undertake their work, the distance also served as an impediment in persuading management of the promise of some of their greatest achievements.

Unable to convince Xerox management of the commercial value of Warnock's InterPress graphics language for controlling printing, the two left Xerox to co-found Adobe Systems.

Unable to convince Xerox management of the approach to commercialize the InterPress graphics language for controlling printing, he, together with Geschke and Putman, left Xerox to start Adobe in 1982.

Before entering politics, he worked in junior managerial roles at Xerox, Rank and Ford Motor Company before becoming a management consultant with Deloitte and Dexion.

WIMP interaction was developed at Xerox PARC ( see Xerox Alto, developed in 1973 ) and popularized with Apple's introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, which added the concepts of the " menu bar " and extended window management.

When Reed Publishing purchased Bowker from Xerox in 1985, it placed Publishers Weekly under the management of its Boston-based Cahners Publishing Company, the trade publishing empire founded by Norman Cahners, which Reed Publishing had purchased in 1977.

In the period leading up to the shootings, Xerox management had become increasingly committed to phasing out the type of photocopier that Uyesugi had been accustomed to servicing.

is a joint venture partnership between the Japanese photographic firm Fuji Photo Film Co. ( 75 %) and the American document management company Xerox ( 25 %) to develop, produce and sell xerographic and document-related products and services in the Asia-Pacific region.

Early in his career, Mudd held positions in financial services and management consulting at the World Bank, Ayers Whitmore and Company, and Xerox Corporation.

The new area was led by Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner, and had a directorate with 15 engineers from diverse backgrounds for direction-setting and preliminary document review: The working-group members were J. Allard ( Microsoft ), Steve Bellovin ( AT & T ), Jim Bound ( Digital Equipment Corporation ), Ross Callon ( Wellfleet ), Brian Carpenter ( CERN ), Dave Clark ( MIT ), John Curran ( NEARNET ), Steve Deering ( Xerox ), Dino Farinacci ( Cisco ), Paul Francis ( NTT ), Eric Fleischmann ( Boeing ), Mark Knopper ( Ameritech ), Greg Minshall ( Novell ), Rob Ullmann ( Lotus ), and Lixia Zhang ( Xerox ).

Mesa had a major influence on the design of other important languages, such as Modula-2 and Java, and was an important vehicle for the development and dissemination of the fundamentals of GUIs, networked environments, and the other advances Xerox contributed to the field of computer science.

Initially its spread was confined to PARC and a few universities to which Xerox had donated some Altos.

Mesa was taught via the Mesa Programming Course that took people through the wide range of technology Xerox had available at the time and ended with the programmer writing a " hack ", a workable program designed to be useful.

* In 1976, during a sabbatical at Xerox PARC, Niklaus Wirth became acquainted with Mesa, which had a major influence in the design of his Modula-2 language

The original Macintosh system software was partially based on the Lisa OS, previously released by Apple for the Lisa computer in 1983 and, as part of an agreement allowing Xerox to buy shares in Apple at a favorable rate, it also used concepts from the Xerox PARC Xerox Alto, which Steve Jobs and several other Macintosh team members had previewed.

Many different jobs and a number of Apple engineers visited Xerox PARC in December 1979, three months after the Lisa and Macintosh projects had begun.

Xerox had just bought Scientific Data Systems in 1969, and wanted PARC to use an SDS machine.

Instead, a group led by Charles P. Thacker designed and constructed two PDP-10 clone systems named " MAXC " ( pronounced " Max ", in honour of Max Palevsky, who had sold SDS to Xerox ) for their own use.

Concurrently, researchers at Xerox PARC had developed the first laser printer and had recognized the need for a standard means of defining page images.

Two years later, Kurzweil sold his company to Xerox, which had an interest in further commercializing paper-to-computer text conversion.

The laser printer was invented at Xerox in 1969 by researcher Gary Starkweather, who had an improved printer working by 1971 and incorporated into a fully functional networked printer system by about a year later.

Meanwhile, John Warnock had left Xerox to found Adobe Systems in order to commercialize PostScript in a laser printer they intended to market.

Xerox itself was slow to realize the value of the technology that had been developed at PARC.

GEM started life at DRI as a more general purpose graphics library known as GSX ( Graphics System eXtension ), written by a team led by Lee Jay Lorenzen ( at GSS ) who had recently left Xerox PARC ( birthplace of the GUI ).

Raskin also claims to have had continued direct input into the eventual Mac design, including the decision to use a one-button mouse as part of the Apple interface, a departure from the Xerox PARC's 3-button mouse.

* Charles Peter McColough, former Xerox Chairman and CEO, and family had an oceanfront estate in Manalapan for nearly 50 years.

Although this idea was first seen on the Xerox Alto, the idea had not been implemented on a major Windows program.

Ub Iwerks, in charge of special processes at the studio, had been experimenting with Xerox photography to aid in animation.

By 1959 he had modified a Xerox camera to transfer drawings by animators directly to animation cels, eliminating the inking process and preserving the spontaneity of the penciled elements.

1964 was a landmark year when the Xerox Corporation introduced ( and patented ) what many consider to be the first commercialized version of the modern fax machine, under the name ( LDX ) or Long Distance Xerography.

Alan Kay has commented that despite the attention given to objects, messaging is the most important concept in Smalltalk: " The big idea is ' messaging ' -- that is what the kernel of Smalltalk / Squeak is all about ( and it's something that was never quite completed in our Xerox PARC phase ).

In parallel with but independent of the work at Xerox PARC, Hewlett Packard developed and released in late 1978 the first commercial WYSIWYG software application for producing overhead slides or what today are called presentation graphics.

Inspired by the Xerox Star and Apple Lisa, TPS ( Technical Publishing Software ) uniquely enabled authors to write their text and create technical graphics on a computer screen that showed what the page would look like when formatted and printed on a laser printer.

The Xerox Alto was one of the first computers designed for individual use ( though not as a home computer ), making it arguably what is now called a personal computer.

While at Rochester, he and Gene Ball wrote what is probably one of the earliest networked multiplayer computer games, Alto Trek, for Xerox Alto computers.

Xerox PARC employees argued that Mesa was a proprietary advantage that made Xerox software engineers more productive than engineers at other companies.

In the late 1960s Xerox used BCL to develop a more sophisticated version for their timesharing system.

" It was designed and created in part for educational use, more so for constructionist learning, at the Learning Research Group ( LRG ) of Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Scott Wallace, and others during the 1970s.

Xerox remains the company's largest customer ( 50 %), but PARC has numerous other corporate and venture clients in different fields of use than Xerox including: VMware, Fujitsu, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. ( DNP ), Samsung, NEC, SolFocus, Powerset, Thin Film Electronics ASA and many more.

From 1981 onwards the IBM PC's introduction of " Code page 437 " with 254 printable glyphs ( including 40 shapes specifically for drawing forms ), and development of Xerox Star-influenced environments such as the Macintosh, GEM and Windows made bit-mapped approaches more desirable, driving cost reductions for laser printing and higher resolution for impact dot matrix printing.

Xerox and Mentor Graphics are the city's two largest employers as of 2006, the only two to employ more than 1000 people.

Xerox art ( sometimes, more generically, called electrostatic art or copy art ) is created by putting objects on the glass, or image area, of a copying machine and by pressing " start " to making an image.

" The paper paradigm was created by many individuals and organisations, such as Douglas Engelbart, Xerox PARC, and Apple Computer, and was an attempt to make computers more user-friendly by making them resemble the common workplace of the time ( with papers, folders, and a desktop ).

For instance, the Dynabook idea ( presented by Alan Kay and the Xerox PARC ) proposed a portable slate-like personal computer which could have been used in an office but which was really an extremely personal exploration tool, meant more to draw art, compose music or invent new algorithms than to write a business letter.

The drums in the copiers originally developed by Xerox Corporation were manufactured with a surface coating of amorphous selenium ( more recently ceramic or organic photo-conductor or OPC ), applied by vacuum deposition.

DeLong also has expressed that the new way is likely to endure “ because it's a better business ecology than the legendarily lugubrious model refined at Xerox Parc — a more productive set of processes for rapidly developing and commercializing new technologies ”.

With version 5. 0 in 2006, Xerox launched DocuShare CPX and a flexible licensing model that allows customers to mix read-only, guest ( public ), basic content services and more CM seats as they need.

Excerpt, p 16-17: " The Lodge did most of its business as telex, straight print sent by wire ... it was cheapest and simplest ... Fax was good for graphics and still photos ; the fax machine was essentially a Xerox with a phone ... Rizome favored one-way prerecorded calls because they were more efficient.
