History

NEC America Inc. NEC America Inc, originally known as Nippon Electric New York, was incorporated in 1963.

NEC Home Electronics (USA), Inc. NEC Home Electronics (USA), Inc. was established in October 1981.

HNSX Supercomputers In October 1986, NEC formed a joint venture with Honeywell, HNSX Supercomputers, to sell NEC's supercomputers in the United States and Canada. In October 1989, Honeywell agreed to sell its share in HNSX Supercomputers to NEC. In April 1997 HNSX Supercomputers and Fujitsu were jointly found guilty of dumping by bidding below cost in order to sell a supercomputer to the National Center for Atmospheric Research. In September 1997 the United States International Trade Commission found that Cray had been financially injured by the pricing practices of HNSX Supercomputers and Fujitsu. Cray later took over the operations of HNSX, and acquired rights to sell NEC supercomputers in the US, in February 2001.

NEC Research Institute NEC established its US research lab, NEC Research Institute in South Brunswick, Princeton, New Jersey in 1988.

NEC Technologies, Inc. In November 1989, NEC announced that it would merge NEC Home Electronics (USA) with NEC Information Systems, Inc. to form NEC Technologies, Inc.

NEC Laboratories America NEC Laboratories America was created in November 2002 through the merger of NEC Research Institute and NEC USA's Computer and Communications Research Laboratory. NEC Laboratories succeeded in sending over 100 terabits of information per second through a single optical fibre in April 2011, establishing a new world record.

NEC Solutions (America), Inc. On April 1, 2002, NEC announced that NEC Technologies, Inc. would be merged with NEC Computers Inc. and NEC Systems, Inc. to form NEC Solutions (America), Inc.

NEC Corporation of America NEC Corporation of America was formed on July 1, 2006, from the combined operations of NEC America, NEC Solutions (America) and NEC USA.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with NEC Corporation of America

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what NEC Corporation of America claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to NEC Corporation of America before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about NEC Corporation of America ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of NEC Corporation of America

In research: NEC Corporation of America appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses NEC Corporation of America in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: NEC Corporation of America is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 establishments in Texas, American companies established in 2006, American subsidiaries of foreign companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for NEC Corporation of America outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
