- The NORD-1, the first minicomputer to have memory paging as a standard option, and the first machine to have floating-point instructions standard
- The NORD-5, the world's first 32-bit minicomputer - beating the VAX, often claimed to be first - by 6 years
- The NORD-100, a very early application of bitslicing in minicomputers

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or innovations:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
