In all probability, few of us know that Phipps was not only a product manager in TI's Consumer Products Division5 but that she was also one of the inventors of a "Calculator with Table Generation Capability."6 By marking the back of the calculator with the number of this patent, TI asserted that the TI-83 Plus embodied this invention.
