The inventions of the transistor in the 1940s and the planar integrated circuit—the microchip—in the 1960s began a development in electronics that was to have a wide-ranging, profound, and continuing impact on telecommunications, sound and television broadcasting, and computing throughout the ...
One of the earliest examples of remote control was developed in 1898 by Nikola Tesla, and described in his patent, U.S. Patent 613809, namedMethod of and Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles. The first remote controlled model airplane flew 1936. The use of remote ...
aLift gets noisier every day and very few people can be from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live-in the middle of a modern city,or a faraway village -the chances are that you'll be disturbed by jet planes,transistoradios, oil-powered engines,etc.we seem ...
What followed in years after 1950 is an amazing history of computer development. Further developments in the computer field led to the invention of transistor (by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & Wiliam Shockley in 1956), integrated circuits (1959) and the computer processors by the iconic Intel....
I don’t quite remember when I got into electronics, but when I do remember the first circuit I built which was a two-transistor astable multivibrator. So it was thanks to John Bardeen and Walter Brattain that I could create this circuit and J W Allen and R J Cherry who created the re...
