 +<code>

    * ~1998 Andrew Lines and Uri Cummings from Martin's group at Caltech launch startup Asynchronous Digital Design (later renamed to Fulcrum Microsystems), which licenses the tools developed at Caltech. Over the years, Fulcrum develops more CAST tools for internal commercial use, including proprietary language extensions.    * ~1998 Andrew Lines and Uri Cummings from Martin's group at Caltech launch startup Asynchronous Digital Design (later renamed to Fulcrum Microsystems), which licenses the tools developed at Caltech.
