Widlar Bob Pease Jim Williams Dennis Monticelli Tom Hornak pity about Alan Dower Blumlein apparently the fact that he never worked in the USA means that inventing the first practical televison and stereo systems doesn't count. He had 128 patents when he died when a bomber carring a protoptye of the H2S radar crashed on landing in 1942. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Analog folks all. Cheers Phil Hobbs

Jim mostly does appnotes and magazine articles, and his stuff is a tad klunky at that. He's more of an energetic technician. John

In a paper he claimed that he designed the multiplier (Gilbert's cell) until the academic community descended on him. Now I note he claims creation of the BiFET OpAmp... my Master's thesis was the first. Looks like he took my work to National with him and claimed it as his own. Slowman is the same kind of thief. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Help save the environment!

Like Win Hill ;-) A list like that is a lot like the list of AGW supporters... their only real accomplishment is as co-back-patters. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Help save the environment!
