In the first six months of 2019 and 2018, we capitalized $64 million and $15 million, respectively, for product and process technology with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years and 12 years, respectively, and placed in service $108 million of in-process R&D in the first quarter of 2019, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over six years. Expected amortization expense is $36 million for the remainder of 2019, $66 million for 2020, $60 million for 2021, $47 million for 2022, and $43 million for 2023.
