Σελίδα 98 - Realm, to the true and first Inventor and Inventors of such Manufactures, which others at the Time of Making such Letters Patents and Grants shall not use, so as also they be not contrary to the Law, nor mischievous to the State, by raising Prices of Commodities at home, or Hurt of Trade, or generally inconvenient...
Σελίδα 11 - Federal research and development activities generate a great deal of new technology which could be applied in ways which go well beyond the immediate mission of the supporting agency. In such cases, I believe the Government has a responsibility to transfer the results of its research and development activities to wider use in the private sector.
Σελίδα 90 - These were cut into rods having small cross sections and which were made into individual transistors. Figure 43 shows an example. True to Wallace's prediction, these had enormous technological impact. The public announcement of these microwatt transistors occurred in the summer of 1951. This is the date at which I feel the transistor era was really finally launched. When I am asked how we felt about the transistor's future shortly after its invention, I reply by quoting a paragraph written in mid-1950...
Σελίδα 25 - The major effort should be placed on getting more managers, executives, and other key individuals — both in and out of Government — to learn, feel, understand and appreciate how technological innovation is spawned, nurtured, financed and managed into new technological businesses that grow, provide jobs and satisfy people.
Σελίδα 79 - Reduction to practice" in a legally sound form was 23 December. In any event, it was a wonderful start for a 4-day Christmas weekend. The Patent 3 Story. Patent 3 was conceived and reduced to practice in connection with the point-contact transistor The surface treatments devised by Gibney played an essential role in making point-contact transistors at that time. I recall a most trying week somewhere in late December or early January when for some reason the treatments failed and no transistors worked....
Σελίδα 67 - The working parts of the device consist solely of two fine wires that run down to a pinhead of solid semi-conductive material soldered to a metal base. The substance on the metal base amplifies the current carried to it by one wire and the other wire carries away the amplified current.
Σελίδα 59 - His surface states also resolved a number of mysteries about semiconductor surfaces including their rectifying characteristics when contacted either by metal points or else by other semiconductors — a dramatic example of creative-failure methodology in action. Our semiconductor research team abandoned efforts to make a field-effect transistor and instead emphasized research on new science related to Bardeen's surface states. The course of action that we intuitively put into action is what I have...
