  Western Design Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Western Design Center (WDC), located in Mesa, Arizona, USA, is a company developing and manufacturing MOS 65xx-based microprocessors, microcontrollers (µCs), and related support chips.
WDC was founded in 1978 by co-holder of the MOS Technology 6502 patent, Bill Mensch, himself a former MOS employee.
In addition to the actual microchips, WDC offers chips designs in the form of IP cores to be used inside other chips (like ASICs), and provides ASIC and embedded systems consulting services revolving around their processor designs.

 Microprocessor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Western Design Center, Inc. (WDC) introduced the CMOS 65C02 in 1982 and licensed the design to several companies which became the core of the Apple IIc and IIe personal computers, medical implantable grade pacemakers and defibrilators, automotive, industrial and consumer devices.
WDC pioneered the licensing of microprocessor technology which was later followed by ARM and other microprocessor Intellectual Property (IP) providers in the 1990’s.
A follow-on chip, the TMS 9980, was designed to compete with the Intel 8080, had the full TI 990 16-bit instruction set, used a plastic 40-pin package, moved data 8 bits at a time, but could only address 16KB.

 WDC 65816/65802 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The WDC 65816 (also: 65C816), a 16-bit microprocessor CPU developed by the Western Design Center (WDC), is an expanded and compatible successor to the venerable MOS Technology 6502.
As of 2006 it is still sold by WDC, and the architecture has also been implemented as an IP core in some systems, such as Winbond's W55V9x series of TV Edutainment ICs.
The processor was designed almost entirely by WDC's founder and CEO Bill Mensch, who began work on the chip after consulting Apple Computer in 1982.

He was a member of the design team—at MOS Technology—that developed the 6502 microprocessor which is used in one form or another in Apple, Atari, and Commodore 8-bit computers.
Mensch is designing the equivalent of a small city—with miniature streets, bridges, buildings, and junctions—all of which must fit on a piece of silicon just a few microns thick and no wider than a small fingernail.
Western Design Center is the forerunner, or at least it appears to be the forerunner, in microprocessor technology in CMOS in [terms of] applications-specific core microprocessor use and licensing.

 Urban Design Policy Brief: The Nashville Convention Center   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Convention center boosters say Nashville needs a structure with a minimum of 400,000 square feet of contiguous floor exhibition space, a minimum of 1.1 million square feet of gross space, and an adjacent 1,000 room hotel to stay in the game of competing for conventioneers.
A convention center is also by it’s very function inward looking and therefore adds nothing to the streetscape unless wrapped with other uses, making the footprint larger still.
But as the anchor to the western end of downtown Church Street, the convention center would actually be integral to the redevelopment of this reviving part of the city.
