The calculator uses the proprietary HP Nut processor produced in a bulk CMOS process and featured continuous memory, whereby the contents of memory are preserved while the calculator is turned off. [13] Though commonplace now, this was still notable in the early 1980s, and is the origin of the "C" in the model name.

The Sinclair Executive was the world's first "slimline" pocket calculator, and the first to be produced by Clive Sinclair's company Sinclair Radionics.Introduced in 1972, the calculator was produced in at least two versions with different keyboard markings; a variant called the Sinclair Executive Memory was introduced in 1973.
One important feature of programmable calculators is the availability of some form of persistent memory. Without persistent memory, programs have to be re-entered whenever power is lost, making the device cumbersome. Persistent memory can be internal or on a separate device. Some programmable calculators employ both schemes.
The calculator is also powered by two CR2032 batteries. The test menu (Off, g+↵ Enter+ON) officially offers three choices. A fourth choice (4) is undocumented and permits to enter two hidden modes: "15.2" (more memory, but with some limitations like 8×8 inversion matrices and three-digit step number display) and "16" (emulating a HP-16C).
The Cambridge had been preceded by the Sinclair Executive, Sinclair's first pocket calculator, in September 1972.At the time, the Executive was smaller and noticeably thinner than any of its competitors, at 56 by 138 by 9 millimetres (2.20 in × 5.43 in × 0.35 in), fitting easily into a shirt pocket.
HP-19C calculator HP-29C with AC-powered battery charger. The HP-19C and HP-29C were scientific/engineering pocket calculators made by Hewlett-Packard between 1977 and 1979. They were the most advanced and last models of the "20" family (compare HP-25) and included Continuous Memory (battery-backed CMOS memory) as a standard feature.
In 2008, the mobile industry became interested in using the benefits of virtualization technology for cell phones and other devices like tablets, netbooks and machine-to-machine (M2M) modules. [1] With mobile virtualization, mobile devices can be manufactured more cheaply through the re-use of software and hardware, which shortens development time.
