Company index by industry

A company is a legal entity representing an association of legal persons with a shared objective, such as generating profit or benefiting society. Depending on the jurisdiction, companies can take on various forms, including voluntary associations, nonprofit organizations, business entities, financial entities, banks, and educational institutions. Companies have evolved to share common legal features, such as a separate legal personality, limited liability, transferable shares, investor ownership, and a managerial hierarchy.

The term "company" may or may not be synonymous with corporation, partnership, firm, or society. Companies are governed by company law, also referred to as corporate law in many regions. Incorporated companies are created through state registration, whereas unincorporated companies are not.

When a company closes, it may undergo liquidation to settle its affairs and terminate its legal obligations. Additionally, companies may associate to form corporate groups, which are collections of parent and subsidiary corporations. (Full article...)

Headquarters in Tigard, Oregon

NuScale Power Corporation is a publicly traded American company that markets its proposed designs for small modular reactors (SMRs). It is headquartered in Tigard, Oregon. The company's proposed VOYGR power plant, which would use 50 MWe modules and scale to 12 modules (600 MWe), was the first SMR design to be certified by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) (2022). The newer 77 MWe module designs, known as the VOYGR-4 (308 MWe) and VOYGR-6 (462 MWe), were submitted for NRC review on January 1, 2023, and approved May 29, 2025. NuScale is now seeking NRC approval for their 12-module, VOYGR-12. The SMR is planned to be scalable, offering up to 924 MWe.

NuScale Power Modules would be surrounded by a 9 feet (2.7 m) diameter by 65 feet (20 m) tall reactor vessel that relies on conventional cooling methods. The modules would run on low enriched uranium fuel assemblies based on existing light water reactor designs. For a 12-module configuration, the modules would be stored individually in submerged storage wells on the floor of a shared 75-foot deep, 10-million-gallon reservoir, and covered by a concrete barrier. A natural convection coolant loop would be relied upon to feed all of the modules used in a plant. The patented system is claimed to be capable of delivering additional fresh water to each reactor vessel without powered pumps in the event of an emergency. (Full article...)

A multinational corporation (MNC) is a corporate organization that owns and controls the production of goods or services in at least one country other than its home country. Control is considered an important aspect of an MNC to distinguish it from international portfolio investment organizations, such as some international mutual funds that invest in corporations abroad to diversify financial risks. A MNC may also be called a multinational enterprise (MNE), transnational enterprise (TNE), transnational corporation (TNC), international corporation, or stateless corporation.

Currently, most of the largest and most influential companies are publicly traded multinational corporations, including Forbes Global 2000 companies. (Full article...)

VistaVision is a cinematographic technique which uses a higher-resolution, widescreen variant of the 35 mm motion-picture film format. It was created and designed by engineers at Paramount Pictures in 1954.

Paramount did not use anamorphic processes such as CinemaScope but refined the quality of its flat widescreen system by orienting the 35 mm negative horizontally in the camera gate and shooting onto a larger area, which yielded a finer-grained projection print. (Full article...)
