Man Beats Edison with 3300 Patents!

In News, Science on December 2, 2012 at 08:52

Thomas Alva Edison has been credited with 2232 patents.

Now we have a man who has 3300 patents.

In an age of plagiarisms in Science, meet this unique self-effacing Man,

Man with 3300 patents.

Sir Dr. NakaMats is one of the greatest inventors of our time; his biggest claim to fame is the floppy disk.

‘Dr. NakaMats, if you prefer, or, as he prefers, Sir Dr. NakaMats—is an inveterate and inexorable inventor whose biggest claim to fame is the floppy disk. “I became father of the apparatus in 1950,” says Dr. NakaMats, who conceived it at the University of Tokyo while listening to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. “There was no mother.”

Though Dr. NakaMats received a Japanese patent in 1952, this virgin birth is disputed by IBM, which insists its own team of engineers developed the device in 1969. Still, to avoid conflicts, Big Blue struck a series of licensing agreements with him in 1979. “My method of digitizing analog technology was the start of Silicon Valley and the information revolution,” Dr. NakaMats says. His voice is low, slow and patronizing, solicitously deliberate. “I am a cross between Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci.”

The floppy is only a short subject in the nonstop invention film that’s running in Dr. NakaMats’ brain. Among his other creations (he will earnestly tell you) are the CD, the DVD, the fax machine, the taxi meter, the digital watch, the karaoke machine, CinemaScope, spring-loaded shoes, fuel-cell-powered boots, an invisible “B-bust bra,” a water-powered engine, the world’s tiniest air conditioner, a self-defense wig that can be swung at an attacker, a pillow that prevents drivers from nodding off behind the wheel, an automated version of the popular Japanese game pachinko, a musical golf putter that pings when the ball is struck properly, a perpetual motion machine that runs on heat and cosmic energy and…much, much more, much of which has never made it out of the multiplex of his mind.

Dr. NakaMats is the progenitor of one other novelty related to floppies: Love Jet, a libido-boosting potion that can be sprayed on the genitalia. The computer component and the mail-order aphrodisiac—and the cash they generate—have taken the inventor of NakaMusic, NakaPaper and NakaVision out of the ranks of the faintly bonkers basement crackpot. The two great financial successes in his perpetual printout of ideas, they give him credibility. Nobody dares to completely kiss off his wilder inventions.

Indeed, Dr. NakaMats has won the grand prize at the International Exposition of Inventors a record 16 times, or so he says, and has been feted all over the world. To commemorate his 1988 visit to the United States, more than roughly a dozen U.S. cities—from San Diego to Pittsburgh—held Dr. NakaMats Days. The State of Maryland made him an honorary citizen, Congress awarded him a Certificate of Special Recognition and then-president George H.W. Bush sent him a congratulatory letter. Dr. NakaMats even tossed out the first pitch at a Pittsburgh Pirates game.

List of Edison’s Patents.

‘Edison is credited for contributing to various inventions, including the phonograph, the kinetoscope, the dictaphoneradio, the electric lamp (in particular the incandescent light bulb), theautographic printer, and the tattoo machine. He also greatly improved the telephone by inventing the carbon microphone. Most of these inventions were not completely original but improvements of earlier inventions. Many of his patented inventions were actually made by his employees, but Edison did not share credit with his employees.[2] However, one of Edison’s major innovations was the first industrial research and development lab, which was built in Menlo Park and West Orange.

Throughout the 20th century, Edison was the world’s most prolific inventor. At the beginning of the century, he held 736 U.S. patents. His final count was 1,093 U.S. patents, including 1084 utility patents (patents for inventions) and 9 artistic design patents. It was not until June 17, 2003 that he was passed by Japanese inventor Shunpei Yamazaki.[3] Yamazaki was subsequently passed by Australian inventor Kia Silverbrook on February 26, 2008,

Fifth Grade Student Corrects The Washington Post

In Interesting and funny, Media on July 12, 2012 at 20:49

 

Good letter and a suitable acknowledgement.

Washington Post editor and book critic Ron Charles tweeted this photo of colleague Dennis Drabelle holding up a correction letter he received from elementary school students in Bethesda, Maryland, calling it “our favorite correction letter ever.”

Correction By a Student.

Fifth Grade student corrects The Washington Post.

The letter, penned by “Mrs. Reed’s fifth-grade class,” takes issue with an article Drabelle wrote back in April, just before the Titanic’s centennial, which incorrectly states that the ship’s fateful collision with the iceberg occurred on April 15th.

“Based on our research,” the students wrote on a supersized piece of paper, “the Titanic hit the iceberg shortly before midnight on April 14, 1912.”

“Isn’t that letter adorable?” Ron Charles rhetorically asked Poynter. “Most of the correction letters begin with some kind of irate statement, ‘Isn’t anyone reading the paper over there?’ This was a nice change of pace.”

Drabelle said he responded to the letter, thanking the students for being “diligent and friendly.” A correction is reportedly forthcoming, and photos the fifth graders sent along with their letter may be reproduced in the Post’s kids section, KidsPost.

NASA Stalks YOU

In US on May 3, 2012 at 09:38

We know the technological competence of NASA, though they will miss the terrorists and criminals.

NASA

NASA

But you and me are easy meat to track.

Read the following .

“The following document comprises evidence for a lawsuit filed at the U.S. Courthouse in Washington, DC, by John St Clair Akwei against the National Security Agency, Ft George G. Meade, Maryland (Civil Action 92-0449), constitutes his knowledge of the NSA’s structure, national security activities proprietary technologies and covert operations to monitor individual citizens Ed.

THE NSA’S MISSION AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE OPERATION

Communications Intelligence (COMINT)

Blanket coverage of all electronic communications in the US and the world to ensure national security. The NSA at Ft Meade, Maryland has had the most advanced computers in the world since the early 1960s. NSA technology is developed and implemented in secret from private corporations, academia and the general public.

Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)

The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and track persons with the electrical currents in their bodies. Signals Intelligence is based on fact that everything in the environment with an electric current in it has a magnetic flux around it which gives off EMF waves. The NSA/DoD [Department of Defence] developed proprietary advanced digital equipment which can remotely analyze all objects whether manmade or organic, that have electrical activity.

Domestic Intelligence (DOMINT)

The NSA has records on all US citizens. The NSA gathers information on US citizen who might be of interest to any of the over 50,000 NSA agents (HUMINT). These agents are authorized by executive order to spy on anyone. The NSA has a permanent national security anti-terrorist surveillance network in place. This surveillance network is completely disguised and hidden from the public.
Tracking individuals in the US is easily and cost-effectively implemented with NSA’s electronic surveillance network. This network (DOMINT) covers the entire US, involves tens of thousands of NSA personnel, and tracks millions of persons simultaneously . Cost-effective implementation of operations is assured by NSA computer technology designed to minimize operations costs. NSA personnel serve in quasi-public positions in their communities and run cover businesses and legitimate businesses that can inform the intelligence community of persons they would want to track. NSA personnel in the community usually have cover identities such as social workers, lawyers and business owners.

Individual Citizens Occasionally Targeted for Surveillance by Independently Operating NSA Personnel

NSA personnel can control the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals in the US by using the NSA’s domestic intelligence network and cover businesses. The operations independently run by them can sometimes go beyond the bounds of law. Long-term control and sabotage of tens of thousands of unwitting citizens by NSA operatives is likely to happen. NSA DOMINT has the ability to assassinate US citizens covertly or run covert psychological control operations to cause subjects to be diagnosed with ill mental health.

2. NSA’S DOMESTIC ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE NETWORK

As of the early 1960s, the most advanced computers in the world were at the NSA, Ft Meade. Research breakthroughs with these computers were kept for the NSA. At the present time the NSA has nanotechnology computers that are 15 years ahead of present computer technology. The NSA obtains blanket coverage of information in the US by using advanced computers that use artificial intelligence to screen all communications, regardless of medium, for key words that should be brought to the attention of NSA agents/cryptologists. These computers monitor all communications at the transmitting and receiving ends. This blanket coverage of the US is a result of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mission. The NSA’s electronic surveillance network is based on a cellular arrangement of devices that can monitor the entire EMF spectrum. This equipment was developed, implemented and kept secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs.

Mother of two flew across America to rape a 13 year old.

In Behavior, crime, relationships, Sex on January 10, 2011 at 23:16

Had a man done something less serious, media and people would have been screaming for his head with out even a trial?

Time women of dubious character are given the same treatment as for men.

Media reaction to these incidences are muted and they cover for readership,not for getting justice.

For offences,even while it is in the process of being filed, a man is pronounced guilty as in any physical violence or divorce case where harassment is cited as a reason.

Still worse is mental cruelty.Mental cruelty is not the domain of men only.

Number of women who are convicted of harassing husbands or reason for a divorce is practically nil .

Again when a wife commits suicide husband is the first suspect ;never a parent or a brother/sister  .

Treat both equally when a complaint is filed and do hear the man,s side before declaring him guilty.

By the way where are the Civil Rights people?

Story.

A mother-of-two has been arrested after flying across America to have sex with a 13-year-old boy she met playing video games on the Internet.

Rachel Ann Hicks, 36, is being held on suspicion of child molestation and rape.

She allegedly befriended the teenager in an X-Box live chat room, according to investigators.

The online relationship progressed to phone calls, texting, e-mails and sending sexually explicit images and movies between one another, said the sheriff’s office.

Hicks, from Lake Forest, California, told the boy she was 23 years old.

She flew to Maryland and met him at his home where they had sex over the Thanksgiving holiday, said police.

Shortly after, the boy’s family discovered ‘romantic’ text messages on the boy’s mobile phone and he confessed the truth.

She used a fake name when communicating with the boy, but police tracked her down and served a search warrant on her home in Orange County on Friday. She was arrested without incident.

All the evidence collected will be forward to Hanford County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland for their investigation
