Ruth Handler company, Ruthton Corp., formed by her and Peyton Massey, which manufactured a more realistic version of a woman's breast, called "Nearly Me".

Though the Handlers took a more hands-off approach to their company's business practice
Interrupt handler interrupts are often provided, which exacerbates stack usage. A primary constraint on the interrupt handler in this programming endeavour is to not exceed the available stack in the worst-case condition, requiring the programmer to reason globally about the stack space requirement of every implemented interrupt handler and application task. When allocated stack space is exceeded (a condition known as a stack overflow), this is not normally detected in hardware by chips of this class. If the stack is exceeded into another writable memory area, the handler will typically work as expected, but the application will fail later (sometimes much later)
