		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, Rambus Inc. (RMBS) signed a patent licensing agreement with Fern Howard for an undisclosed sum. Alton, Hampshire-based Fern Howard is a recognized producer of energy efficient lighting solutions. Per the terms of the agreement, Fern Howard will obtain Rambus’ patented technology for its advanced lighting products. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these devices during the contract period. Rambus’ patented innovations include LED edge-lit optical designs, MicroLens light distribution features, high-volume, low-cost light guide panels, and multi-function film manufacturing technologies. These technologies facilitate lighting and display solutions vendors to include advantageous features of LED in each lighting solution at an affordable price.

		<description><![CDATA[Technology licensing company Rambus Inc. (RMBS) received an untoward ruling for a lawsuit filed for patent infringement, by a judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC). In the initial verdict, the judge mentioned that the plaintiffs did not conduct any breach with Rambus’ patented technologies. However, the final judgment is due in July. In a suit filed in 2010, Rambus complained that a number of its patents have been illegally used by chip makers LSI Corp. (LSI), MediaTek Inc. and STMicroelectronics (STM). This is the second loss in a row for Rambus, which met a similar fate in November 2011. At that time, Rambus received an unfavorable ruling by a California jury on the long-drawn (almost 7 years) antitrust battle with Micron Technology Inc. (MU) and Hynix Semiconductor Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Rambus Inc. (RMBS) signed a patent licensing agreement with MediaTek Inc. for an undisclosed sum, yesterday. Per the terms of the agreement, MediaTek can use Rambus’ patented technology for its integrated circuit products for five years. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these devices during the contract period. In 2010, Rambus accused MediaTek of unlawfully using its patented inventions. But last Friday, a judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC) negated the claims and gave the plaintiff a clean chit. Keeping aside the judge’s final ruling, which is due in July, both companies reportedly announced that they have settled all previous claims mutually. Despite a legal tussle, MediaTek opted for Rambus’ technology. Customers are demanding utmost flexibility in electronic products. As MediaTek is a leading System-on-Chip ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s heavy economic schedule will likely keep the markets focused on domestic matters. The good start provided by the positive initial Jobless Claims report should help give stocks positive momentum today. The GDP revision was on the weak side, but given the stale nature of the data and the relatively no-so-bad internals of report, stocks will most likely take it in the stride. Other key economic reports on deck for a little later release include the Conference Board’s Leading Indicators and final read on the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey for December. Of the pre-market releases, the most favorable reading was on the initial Jobless Claims front, which continued the positive momentum of the last few weeks by falling to the lowest level since April 2008. Contrary to expectations ]]></description>

A total of just 34 firms are scheduled to report, including 13 of the S&#38;P 500. Most of the firms reporting have November fiscal period-ends, which means that they are reporting fourth quarter results. While few in number, some of the reports come from firms that are highly significant in that they will give clues to the overall direction of earnings in the fourth quarter. The firms reporting next week include: Bed Bath &#38; Beyond (BBBY), Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL), ConAgra (CAG), General Mills (GIS), Micron Technology (MU),  Nike (NKE) and Walgreens (WAG). There will, however, be plenty of economic data for the market to chew on. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology Inc. (MU) will offer its advanced Reduced Latency DRAM (RLDRAM) 3 memory chips to networking solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent (ALU). Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Alcatel-Lucent is a leading provider of mobile, fixed, IP and Optics technology solutions. It serves service providers, enterprises, strategic industries and governments across the world. Micron’s memory chips will be used by Alcatel-Lucent to develop next-generation network offerings. Alcatel-Lucent will use the RLDRAM 3 memory in pioneering the 400 gigabyte capacity-oriented chipset. Micron’s yet-to-arrive RLDRAM 3 chip will allow faster and more efficient data transfer over networks. With this chip, network performance will be doubled, while latency will come down to less than 10 nanoseconds. Latency is the lag time between a request for data and its delivery. ]]></description>

Just after the markets managed a finish in the green last week after six-consecutive weeks of losses, benchmarks once again ended in negative territory for the week. Positive economic data failed to drive the markets up amid disappointing reports from the technology sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) inched down slightly by less than a percent to settle at 11,934.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 1.2% to close at 1,268.45.

		<description><![CDATA[Micron Technology Inc. (MU) reported adjusted third quarter 2011 earnings per share of 0 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 17 cents. The miss was largely due to subdued PC sales, which adversely affected the demand for memory chips. Management stated that Micron’s results were somewhat affected by stalled production in Japan due to the earthquake. But management also stated that the company is no longer facing any supply interruption. Revenue Micron reported revenue of $2.14 billion, down 6.5% year over year and 5.2% sequentially. The reported revenue was far below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.54 billion. Revenue from the sales of DRAM products fell 7.0% from the previous quarter as a result of a decrease in sales volume due to lower PC sales. Revenue from sales ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Positive economic reports on the U.S. front and lingering optimism from Thursday&#8217;s Greek deal are expected to help stocks push higher today. Approval from the Greek parliament next week for the new austerity plan will pave the way for a fresh multi-year rescue fund for the country. On the domestic economic front, we got a better-than-expected Durable Goods report for May and the first quarter GDP growth estimate was modestly revised higher. The positive Durable Goods report is evidence that the manufacturing sector is still quite healthy. The internals of the report were also quite good, showing a reversal of the negative trend that we saw in the April report. Other than the reassuring report on the manufacturing side, a positive recent development has been the downtrend in oil prices. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weak economic data failed to drag markets lower as investor sentiment was lifted by the technology and retail sectors.  With initial claims surged and the economy expanding at just 1.8%, the employment situation remains a major area of concern amidst a sluggish economy. These concerns had dented the markets in the opening session, but strong performance from the consumer discretionary index and technology sector and modest support from the energy sector helped the indices rebound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 76 points in the opening session but recouped its losses in the later trading session to close at 12,402.76, up 0.1%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed up 0.4% to finish at 1,325.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,782.92, after gaining 0.8%. Volumes continued to ]]></description>

The adjusted loss per share excludes restatement and related legal charges, amortization, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, gain from a legal settlement and tax gains. Shares dropped 4.90% after the market closed on April 21. Revenue Rambus reported total revenue of $62.5 million in the first quarter, down 61.4% from $161.9 million in the year-ago period. The uneven comparison was due to the receipt of a significant amount from a licensing agreement with Samsung in the first quarter of 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology Inc. (MU) intends to expand its footprint in China with the opening of its second operating unit in Xi’an. Micron stated that the unit is under construction and is likely to be operational within the next three to five years, depending on existing market conditions. The idea behind this expansion is to complement Micron’s existing facility in Xi&#8217;an, which was built in 2007. The first Chinese facility was designed for assembly and test operations of Micron’s semiconductor products, including dynamic random access memory (DRAM), NAND flash memory and CMOS image sensors. The new semiconductor Test and Module Assembly unit will accommodate Micron&#8217;s Asian customers. The Asia-Pacific region has been growing  in leaps and bounds over the past few quarters. Consequently, Micron is building capacity to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The three-day rally of the markets was halted on Tuesday with investors adopting a cautious stance as ensuing unrest in the Middle East pushed crude prices higher. Also, the lack of any new information on the crisis in Japan provided little strength to the indices to extend their winning streak. Last week, markets were in the red, but had started moving up since Thursday, reducing the weekly losses. However, it had been predicted that investors were worried about volatility in the markets and were not ready to bet big. On the second day of this week these fears have come true to a certain extent and the CBOE Volatility Index shot up 1.9% to 20.21, close to pre-Japan crisis levels.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets overcame fears of any near-term slide in the wake of global issues to end higher as materials and energy helped the indices post gains. The mass destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami in the third largest economy of the world, Japan, failed to unnerve US markets. Protests in Saudi Arabia also fizzled out letting investors share a cheerful mood. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,044.40 and gained 0.5% for the day. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 gained 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.5% to close at 1,304.28 and 2,715.61, respectively. However, earlier losses in the week limited the markets from ending higher for the week as the Dow inched down 1%, S&#38;P 500 shed 1.3% and Nasdaq lost 2.5%. On ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A reduction in inflated crude prices, optimistic comments from the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and mixed economic data helped markets edge higher on Monday. Higher indices for the month also ensured a third-straight monthly gain, building on the positive momentum gained at the start of the year. On Monday, the fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped below 19 and indices edged ahead. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 0.8% and closed at 12,226.34. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.6% to end at 1,327.22 and the Nasdaq finished the day at 2,782.27 with a 0.04% increase.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets returned to their winning ways after three consecutive days of losses. Moderately positive domestic economic data and a small decline in crude prices brought cheer to investors after a week of falling indices. This was the worst performing week for the year, marked by unrest in the Middle East and surging crude prices which negatively impacted the markets. For the week, the Dow shed 2.1%, the S&#38;P 500 fell 1.7% and Nasdaq was down 1.9%. This was also the worst weekly performance by stocks since November last year. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped 9.9% to 19.22 suggesting the improved sentiment on Friday and the consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange was 3.8 billion shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved up ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fear gauge Volatility Index (VIX) surged to its highest level since May last year and benchmark indices suffered sharp declines on Tuesday. Unrest in the Middle East and North Africa continued as immediately after the overthrow of leaders in Egypt and Tunisia, demonstrators in Bahrain, Libya and Algeria put forward similar demands. Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa and Bahrain is next only to Saudi Arabia when it comes to oil reserves. The situation has sparked concern over oil prices and crude prices surged to their highest level in 2.5 years. The trend of rising markets now seems to be suffering a setback. On Tuesday, the Dow fell 1.44% and closed at 12,212.79. The S&#38;P 500 was down 2.05% to 1,315.44 and the Nasdaq closed at 2,756.44, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rose to its highest mark but other major indices shed a few points. Ahead of the Christmas celebration, mixed economic data left the benchmarks to sway just modestly, and investors took a wait and watch attitude. Durable goods orders dropped below economist’ expectations primarily due to 53.1% dip in commercial airplane orders. However, new orders for nondefense capital goods (apart from aircraft) increased 2.6%, which reflects higher spending and thus an economic recovery of sorts. Claims for first time unemployment benefits also fell to and consumer spending modestly moved up by 0.4%. The DJIA rose 0.12% to close at 11,573.49. The S&#38;P 500 dropped 0.16% to close at 1,256.77. The Nasdaq Composite Index edged down 0.22% to 2,665.60. On the New York ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rambus Inc.(RMBS) posted a third quarter 2010 loss per share of 27 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 17 cents. The adjusted loss per share excludes restatement and related legal charges and gain from a legal settlement. Shares dipped 1.66% after the market closed. Revenue Rambus reported total revenue of $31.7 million in the third quarter, up 13.9% from $27.9 million in the year-ago period, but down 18.4% from $38.9 million in the prior quarter. The quarter’s revenue also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $37.0 million. However, the increase from the year-ago period could be attributed to a 15.9% year-over-year increase in licensing revenues, fueled by royalty payments from Samsung. This was partially offset by weaker revenue from Contracts, which tumbled 42.2% from the comparable quarter last year, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Third-quarter earnings season will &#8220;officially&#8221; start next Thursday when Alcoa (AA) reports. Overall corporate profit growth should be good. Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s predicts that per share operating earnings for the S&#38;P 500 will rise 31% this quarter on a year-over-year basis. Thomson Reuters calculates the consensus growth estimate as being slightly more conservative at 24%. Either way, this should be the fourth consecutive quarter of profit growth. Dirk van Dijk at Zacks.com is looking for a mid-single-digit increase in revenues. He also believes that widening net margins will have the biggest impact on profit growth. Van Dijk observes that financial companies should show the biggest year-over-year improvement in profitability, thanks to easy comparisons. The summer&#8217;s economic speed bump will likely be reflected in these numbers, though it&#8217;s worth noting that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technology licensing company Rambus Inc. (RMBS) announced that it had inked a patent licensing deal with the leading graphics chip company, NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA). As per the deal, NVIDIA will pay a royalty to Rambus for certain memory controller patents. Despite a long-standing legal battle between the two companies related to patent infringements, the deal indicates a situation in favor of Rambus. In July 2008, Rambus filed a suit in the U.S. District Court alleging that NVIDIA products such as chipsets, graphics processors, media communication processors and multimedia applications processors infringed upon its patents. Recently, Rambus received a notice of favorable ruling from the International Trade Commission (ITC), whereby NVIDIA’s products would be barred from entering U.S. markets. However, the final announcement on ITC’s website is still pending. However, NVIDIA ]]></description>

Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. For example, the PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions and so forth.

(RMBS) received a favorable ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) for lawsuits filed against various parties Incorporatedluding chip maker Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) and PC makers Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) and Asus Computer International Inc. In the lawsuits filed in 2008, Rambus claimed that Nvidia and other manufacturers had infringed its patented technology. After a long-drawn legal battle, the ITC revealed that Nvidia chips infringed Rambus patents, and plans to issue an order that would ban imports of certain products containing the patented chips. However, final announcement on ITC’s website is still pending. On the other hand, Nvidia remains confident that it will be able to use a European Commission license, which will force Rambus to make certain patents available to it. Therefore, NVIDIA customers ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rambus Inc. (RMBS) reported second-quarter 2010 loss per share of 19 cents (excluding one-time items, but including stock-based compensation expense) that missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. Revenues Rambus reported total revenue of $38.9 million in the second quarter, up 44% from $27.0 million in the year-ago period, but down 76% from $161.9 million in the prior quarter. The sequential comparison was tough due to the huge amount ($95.9 million) received in the first quarter of 2010 as compensation for the settlement of a dispute with Samsung Electronics. However, the year-over-year strength could be attributed to an increase in licensing revenues, fueled by strong sales of computers, consumer electronics and game consoles Incorporatedluding higher royalties from Sony Corp (SNE), which saw continued strong sales of its PS3.

		<description><![CDATA[Chip interface technology and architecture licensing company Rambus Inc. (RMBS) announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with GE Lighting, a unit of General Electric Company’s (GE) Appliances &#38; Lighting business, for the enhancement of LED (light emitting diode) products. As per the agreement, GE Lighting will license Rambus’ patented processes and technologies for manufacturing its own LED lighting solutions. Rambus’ lighting innovations will therefore enable GE to create a new generation of advanced LED-based lighting products specifically targeted at architectural and commercial applications. Though financial terms were not disclosed, we believe Rambus is well positioned as a key player to meet the escalating demand for LED lighting technology. LED as a lighting source has evolved as a substitute for incandescent light sources with proven advantages like lower energy ]]></description>
