Micropolis Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Micropolis Corporation was a SCSI hard drive manufacturing company located in Chatsworth, California. This company was one of the many hard drive manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s that went out of business, merged, or closed their hard drive divisions; as a result of capacities and demand for products increased, and profits became hard to find. While Micropolis was able to hold on longer than many of the others, it ultimately sold its hard drive business to Singapore Technologies (now Temasek Holdings), who still market disks under the DigiSAFE brand. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Micropolis_Corporation   (216 words)

In the fourth quarter, Micropolis reported net income of $4.82 million on revenues of $107.6 million, compared with a loss of $5.96 million on revenues of $90.37 million in the year-earlier period.

Photonic Micropolis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The picture above depicts a "photonic micropolis," a rather fanciful collage of many different photonic crystal devices. Finally, in the micropolis corners you can see ring resonators, which are a conventional (non photonic-crystal) way to achieve a resonant cavity for use in channel-drop filters, etcetera.

BYTE.com We appreciate the positive points made about the Micropolis 2217AV drive in the review ``Speedy Data Delivery'' (December 1994); however, we challenge the accuracy of your drive throughput results. We refer to the comment that the 2217AV ``did not meet the expectations created by Micropolis.'' Micropolis uses a proven caching technique and stringent performance testing to ensure that our AV drives can deliver the sustained, uninterrupted data flow required in digital audio/video applications. Micropolis stands firmly behind its claim to an uninterrupted sustained data rate of 2.9 MBps for the 2217AV drive. www.byte.com /art/9503/sec2/art3.htm   (391 words)
