The IRSâs audit priorities fall into four areas: 1  Tax return ânon-filers and underreporting of income.â The IRS now estimates that there may be as many as of 8.6 million non-filers. 2  This number is up from about 6 million estimated non-filers just a few years ago.
Jack Kilby, in full Jack St. Clair Kilby, (born Nov. 8, 1923, Jefferson City, Mo., U.S.âdied June 20, 2005, Dallas, Texas), American engineer and one of the inventors of the integrated circuit, a system of interconnected transistors on a single microchip.
Kilby began to write down and sketch out his ideas in July of 1958. By September, he was ready to demonstrate a working integrated circuit built on a piece of semiconductor material. Several executives, including former TI Chairman Mark Shepherd, gathered for the event on September 12, 1958. What they saw was a sliver of germanium, with protruding wires, glued to a glass slide.
