Q:Information: - A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity. A trademark may be located on a package, a label, a voucher, or on the product itself. For the sake of corporate identity, trademarks are often displayed on company buildings. - A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, called a "program", make computers very flexible and useful. Such computers are used as control systems for a very wide variety of industrial and consumer devices. This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, factory devices such as industrial robots and computer assisted design, but also in general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones. The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of other computers. - A service mark or servicemark is a trademark usedin the United States and several other countries to identify a service rather than a product. When a service mark is federally registered, the standard registration symbol ®️ or "Reg U.S. Pat & TM Off" may be used (the same symbol is used to mark registered trademarks). Before it is registered, it is common practice (with some legal standing) to use the service mark symbol (a superscript SM). - A voucher is a bond of the redeemable transaction type which is worth a certain monetary value and which may be spent only for specific reasons or on specific goods. Examples include housing, travel, and food vouchers. The term voucher is also a synonym for receipt and is often used to refer to receipts used as evidence of, for example, the declaration that a service has been performed or that an expenditure has been made. - The computer or information technology, or IT industry is the range of businesses involved in designing computer hardware and computer networking infrastructures, developing computer software, manufacturing computer components, and providing information technology (IT) services. - Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to be design. - A corporate identity is the manner which a corporation, firm or business presents themselves to the public, such as customers and investors as well as employees. It is a primary task of the corporate communications department to maintain and build this identity to accord with and facilitate business objectives. It is typically visually manifested by way of branding and the use of trademarks. but also includes things like product design, advertising, public relations and the like. - Computer hardware is the collection of physical components that constitute a computer system. Computer hardware is the physical parts or components of a computer, such as monitor, keyboard, computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), graphic card, sound card, memory (RAM), motherboard, and so on, all of which are tangible physical objects. By contrast, software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware. - Digital Equipment Corporation , also known as DEC and using the trademark Digital , was a major American company in the computer industry from the 1960s to the 1990s . It was a leading vendor of computer systems , including computers , software , and peripherals , and its PDP and successor VAX products were the most successful of all minicomputers in terms of sales . From 1957 until 1992 its headquarters were located in a former wool mill in Maynard , Massachusetts ( since renamed Clock Tower Place and now home to multiple companies ) . DEC was acquired in June 1998 by Compaq , which subsequently merged with Hewlett - Packard in May 2002 . Some parts of DEC , notably the compiler business and the Hudson , Massachusetts facility , were sold to Intel . Digital Equipment Corporation should not be confused with the unrelated companies Digital Research , Inc or Western Digital , although the latter once manufactured the LSI - 11 chipsets used in DEC 's low end PDP - 11/03 computers . What entity does 'digital equipment corporation' has the relation 'industry' with?
