Restructuring charges/other are recognized in Other for segment reporting purposes. Restructuring charges In the fourth quarter of 2016, we recognized $18 million of restructuring charges for severance and benefit costs related to the reorganization of product lines that we announced in January 2017. As of December 31, 2016, no payments have been made. We announced in January 2016 our intentions to phase out through the end of 2018 a manufacturing facility in Greenock, Scotland. We are moving production from this facility to more cost-effective 200-millimeter TI manufacturing facilities in Germany, Japan and Maine. Total restructuring charges, primarily severance and related benefit costs associated with the expected reduction of about 350 jobs, are estimated to be about $40 million. We recognized charges of $7 million in 2016 and $17 million in 2015. These charges were comprised of severance and benefits costs, as well as accelerated depreciation. The remaining charges are expected to be recognized through the end of 2018. The 2014 restructuring charges were related to prior actions in Embedded Processing and Japan. These actions have been completed. Changes in accrued restructuring balances

Gains on sales of assets In 2016, we recognized a gain of $40 million on the sale of intellectual property. We recognized $83 million of gains on sales of assets in 2015. This included $48 million associated with the sale of a site in Plano, Texas, and $34 million associated with the sale of a manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. We recognized $75 million of gains on sales of assets in 2014. This consisted of $30 million associated with the sale of a site in Nice, France; $28 million associated with the sales of real estate in Santa Clara, California; and $17 million of asset sales associated primarily with factory closures in Houston, Texas, and Hiji, Japan.
