Texas Instruments and the 2009 Solar Decathlon

Texas Instruments and the 2009 Solar Decathlon
Texas Instruments has long been committed to driving energy innovation. In October, TI will continue its involvement in building a greener future as a returning sponsor of the 2009 Solar Decathlon. This event brings together 20 university teams from across the globe in a competition to design, build and operate the most energy-efficient and attractive solar-powered home. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Solar Decathlon will culminate in the creation a “solar village” on the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Oct. 9-13 and 15-18.

Texas Instruments and The University of Illinois
This year, Texas Instruments is excited to extend its involvement by sponsoring the University of Illinois Solar Decathlon team. As a gold sponsor, TI will contribute to the funding, as well as products, advice and mentoring toward UIUC’s $600,000 effort. TI technology is integrated into the home design, and TI is donating an energy-efficient DLP® HDTV as part of the sponsorship.

It is fitting in many ways that TI is sponsoring the University of Illinois, which is the alma mater of Jack Kilby, the TI pioneer who invented the integrated circuit. TI leaders view smart power, including solar and energy harvesting technologies, as a strategically important way to help move the company into a new age of electronics and growth.

History of Innovation - Jack Kilby Press Conference at TI Announcing the Nobel Prize Award

nancy! — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:45:13 GMT

This video collection describes the genesis of Kilby’s invention and its long footprint, chronicles the man’s Nobel ceremonies, and provides touching recollections of Kilby, his achievements and humble nature by former colleagues, including past TI CEO and Chairman Tom Engibous.

Engibous recalls the day Kilby came to his office in 2000 after receiving the Nobel Prize: “He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small object that was wrapped in a piece of tissue with his name neatly printed on it. He said, ‘This is for TI.’ I opened the package and there was the gold Nobel Prize medal. It was at a time like that that you can’t think of what to say. But the bottom line is, that was Jack.”
