Signetics Sig-netics is a subsidiary of Corning Glass Works. In calculators, the integrated circuit cir-cuit provides 1,024 bits of random-access m?inory. It stores data temporarily while other numeric information is being calculated. calcu-lated. The circuit is useful in computers, as well. The memory, which is known as the model "2606," also replaces a type of memory known as "magnetic core" in computers. com-puters.
