In May of 2015, SEMATECH lost its status as a standalone chip consortium—it was unceremoniously folded into the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly), a high-tech university system in New York. SEMATECH still exists within SUNY Poly, but it is following a new and untested charter, sources said. SEMATECH and SUNY Poly declined to comment.

ECMA International (/ˈɛkmə/) is a nonprofit standards organization for information and communication systems. It acquired its current name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization’s global reach and activities. As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization. The organization was founded in 1961 to standardize computer systems in Europe. Membership is open to large and small companies worldwide that produce, market, or develop computer or communication systems, and have interest and experience in the areas addressed by the group’s technical bodies. It is located in Geneva.
JEIDA developed a number of standards, including the JEIDA memory card, and the Exif graphical file format.
in 1967, Ryoko Communications Association Co., Ltd. has first appeared in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. in 1989, Ryoko Communications Association Co., Ltd. was Re-branded into Japan Electronic Industries Development Association. in 2000, JEIDA became a Pending merger with EIAJ and was Reorganized into JEITA.
