RP International (RPI), the nation’s leading non-profit fighting Retinitis Pigmentosa and other blinding degenerative eye diseases, announced it will honor Texas Instruments for its many contributions to the organization and technology developments that assist the blind. Beginning with a speech recognition computer donated to the organization years ago, TI has since supported RPI and its cause through technology development and research. The award will be presented to Gene Frantz, TI’s principal fellow and digital signal processing (DSP) visionary, during its annual fundraising event tomorrow night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
