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 ...
WHAT WERE THE GREATEST INVENTIONS OF ALL TIME? Here is the Encyclopædia Britannica's list for-- The Greatest Inventions of All Times
A: It has buy-in from the highest level. Google’s founders take risks that no one else will. It reminds me a lot of the amazing things that came out of Bell Labs, like the transistor, which obviously drove entire revolutions in technology. So I think they have the right mind-set to...
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. Then came the brilliant Bill Gates and the legendary Steve Jobs who changed the ...
Working together at Bell Labs, the three invented the first practical effective semiconductor amplifier on December 16, 1947. The electric component was called the point-contact transistor. It had two closely spaced wires connected to the surface of germanium. One wire received the input signal and...
