	Wang Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wang stock had been listed in the New York Stock Exchange, but this maneuver was not quite acceptable under NYSE's rules, and Wang was forced to delist with NYSE and relist on the more liberal American Stock Exchange.
		Wang calculators were at first sold to scientists and engineers, but the company later won a solid niche in financial-services industries, which had previously relied on complicated printed tables for mortgages and annuities.
		Wang was one of the first computer companies to advertise on television, and the first to run an ad during the Super Bowl.

	Wang v. AOL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Wang argues on appeal that the narrow definition of "frame" adopted by the district court is not warranted by the specification, is not required by the prosecution history, and is negated by the overall structure of the claims.
		Wang argues that the term "frame" as used in the patent refers broadly to a unit of digital data that can be selected and displayed, and is not limited to use of a character-based protocol.
		Wang states that the "means" is not limited to the character-based protocol described in the specification, and that the known bit-mapped protocol is an equivalent means interchangeable with the character-based protocol.

	Calculator History: Wang Laboratories: From Custom Systems to Computers
		Wang Laboratories made it's early fortunes in the mid to late 1960's through a number of different models of electronic calculators, beginning with the LOCI-2, and extending through the extremely popular 300-series (an example being the Wang 360SE).
		Wang felt that perhaps digital technology could be used to perform the same kinds of functions as analog computers, but in a way that much more flexible, allowing the machine to solve a wide variety of problems.
		Wang had a department that specialized in custom systems, and one of the star engineers in the department was a man named Frank Trantanella.

		Wang never informed Mitsubishi of its patent applications, [1576] patents, or of any intent to execute a license or receive royalties until a December 22, 1989 letter accusing Mitsubishi of infringing the '605 and '513 patents, which had issued in 1987 and 1988 respectively.
		Wang moved for summary judgment that Mitsubishi infringed the '605 patent under the doctrine of equivalents because the nine decoupling capacitors beneath nine memory chips in Mitsubishi's SIMMs are equivalent to the "eight decoupling capacitors...
		Wang appeals the partial summary judgment of non-infringement of the '605 patent based on prosecution history estoppel, and the resolution of the implied license issue to negate infringement of the '513 patent.

	Dr An Wang
		An Wang is normally associated with the invention of the ferrite core memory so widely used in early computers, this is a recount of his involvement in the development of the electronic calculators.
		It was September of 1949 when An Wang filed his patent application for a "Pulse Transfer Controlling Device." At that time Dr. Wang was not aware on the crucial importance of his invention to the development of digital computers.
		The WANG 300 was based in the LOCI, a desktop scientific calculator patented by Wang Laboratories in September 17, 1964 (Patent 3,402,285).

	Wang Calculators
		Wang Laboratories, founded by Dr. An Wang as a one-man electronics company in 1951, became famous for revolutionizing electronic calculators by providing higher level math functions which previously were only available on very expensive computer systems.
		Wang invented a combination of digital electronic circuits which used a method called 'factor combining' to generate the base e logarithm of any number.
		Since the Wang calculators used logarithms to perform multiplication and division, and even though Dr. Wang's log-generating circuit produced very accurate results, many are logs are transcendental numbers which can never be represented with 100% accuracy no matter how many digits you calculate them to.

		Wang misapprehends the proper distinction between "independent activity by a single entity" in the form of a mere refusal to deal and "concerted effort by more than one entity to.
		Contrary to Wang's argument, the requirements for proof of concerted action in a tying case are consistent with those applied in cases involving other unreasonable restraints of trade.
