All stages and series of the Devonian were ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) using GSSPs during the period 1972 to 1995.
Bipolar transistors are typically used in applications where speed is very important, such as in radio-frequency ICs.
This move was terribly ill-timed because other, larger manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard and Texas Instruments (itself a leading designer of ICs) soon moved into the market with mass-produced calculators.
The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) formed several working groups to define new stages based on a more accurate global correlation of stratigraphic and fossil markers.
In 2004 the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) established the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) defining the base of this unit along the southern bank of the Hongshui River southeast of Labin, China.
In 2011 the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) established the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) defining the base of this unit at an outcrop in the vicinity of Duibian village near Jiangshan city, China.
