of a type other than SEMICONDUCTIVE MATERIAL and, if provided therewith, such
device includes housing and/or supporting means therefor. SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT
shall not include magnetoresistive devices or devices formed of materials having
a permanent magnetic effect.
1.4. MANUFACTURING APPARATUS means as to each party hereto, any instrumentality
or aggregate of instrumentalities primarily designed for use in the fabrication
of that party's LICENSED PRODUCTS (as hereinafter defined).
1.5. FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLY means (i) a single SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT or (ii) two or
more SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENTS mechanically and functionally interconnected in an
inseparable and irreplaceable manner within a single housing therefor for
generating, receiving, transmitting, storing, transforming or acting in response
to a signal.
1.6. MICROPROCESSOR means a FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLY having a central processing unit
which includes registers, control logic, decision logic, and input-output
circuitry appropriately coupled to interconnections and has a capability of
executing temporarily or permanently stored instructions or microinstructions
and which central processing unit may also include internal buses such as data
buses, address buses, or control buses; and which FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLY may also
include memory, clocks, input-output interface circuitry, or other electronic
functions ordinarily associated with or connected to central processing units.
1.7. INPUT-OUTPUT ADAPTOR means a FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLY which is adapted to
provide an interface between a MICROPROCESSOR and any instrumentality or
aggregate of instrumentalities adapted to compute, classify, process, transmit,
receive, retrieve, originate, switch, store, display, manifest, measure, detect,
record, reproduce, handle, or utilize any form of information, intelligence or
data for business, scientific, control or other purposes, but shall not include
such instrumentality or aggregate of instrumentalities, per se.
1.8. SYSTEM means one or more FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLIES whether or not combined with
one or more active and/or passive elements for performing electrical or
electronic functions, whether or not a housing and/or supporting means for said
circuitry is included.
1.9. ELECTRICAL METHOD means a method or steps for using FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLIES,
whether or not combined with one or more active and/or passive elements, for
performing electrical or electronic functions.
1.10. MOTOROLA SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS SECTOR means a MOTOROLA existing business
unit: (i) now consisting of a Consumer Systems Group, a Networking & Computing
Systems Group, a Semiconductor Components Group, a Transportation Systems Group,
and a Wireless Subscriber Systems Group, (ii) having major manufacturing
facilities located in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler and Tempe, Arizona; Austin, Texas;
Raleigh, North Carolina; Irvine, California; Toulouse, France; Aizu and Sendai,
Japan; Tianjin, China; East Kilbride and South Queensferry, Scotland;
Guadalajara, Mexico; and Seremban, Malaysia; and (iii) making and/or developing
products falling within the definition of LICENSED PRODUCTS (as hereinafter
defined). This definition of the MOTOROLA SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS SECTOR shall
also include any predecessor MOTOROLA business unit of said business units
