Yair Reiner – Oppenheimer
Congrats, first of all, on the nice quarter.
Chuck Swoboda
Thanks.
Yair Reiner – Oppenheimer
So, my first question, can you give us a sense directionally of how the mix was in the quarter in terms of components, chips, daily uses and so forth?
Chuck Swoboda
Yes. So, in the quarter what we saw the two big growth drivers were components and chips and the applications that drove that were a combination of lighting and back lighting. We definitely saw some benefit from back lighting, but actually overall I think lighting actually grew slightly as a percentage of the business. So, if you look at the application mix, lighting still the biggest a little over 50%, the video screen business is still hanging in there in second and then the next two big applications would be mobile and back lighting and they are similar size, but back lighting obviously has come up to rival to mobile in terms of size, but again net-net lighting is still the biggest driver.
Yair Reiner – Oppenheimer
Great and then in terms of your design centers you are building out, how should we measure the success of those moving forward and how do this going to impact your geographical mix in the quarters and years ahead?
Chuck Swoboda
In the short-term it is going to be difficult because obviously it take us mostly to get these online. The way we are going to measure them is design win rates, but we don't typically break that out. I think the easiest way for you is going to be sales growth momentum and components and that will be something that it will become more obvious in the year ahead in terms of fiscal 11, right. We are going to have rely on the sales team we have in place right now to drive the current business, but it's really going to be in sales growth and then internally we'll also look at design win momentum.
Yair Reiner – Oppenheimer
Okay. One more quick question and then I cede the floor. In terms of your capital investments moving ahead, clearly there is a quite a bit of bottleneck in terms of the major tool makers. How do you intend to deal with that and how much your capital investments must be patch different than a lot of the other players in the field?
