Department of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Biographical/Historical Sketch Co-founder of Varian Associates and a pioneer in microwave tube technology and linear accelerator development. As a graduate student at Stanford during the 1930's, Ginzton joined Russell and Sigurd Varian and physics professors William W. Hansen and David L. Webster to develop the klystron tube, an integral part of radar and the linear accelerator concept. After working on radar systems during World War II, Ginzton returned to Stanford in 1946 as a professor of applied physics. He joined Hansen in the establishment of the Microwave Laboratory at Stanford. Becoming director of the Laboratory in 1949, he worked with Henry Kaplan in adapting the linear accelerator for the treatment of cancer. He directed Project M, which led to the construction of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (a two-mile linear accelerator). In 1948, Ginzton helped found Varian Associates, becoming chairman of the board and chief executive officer in 1959. Ginzton was elected a member of the National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Engineering; he has also served on the Stanford University Board of Trustees.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES EDWARD LEONARD GINZTON 1915–1998 A Biographical Memoir by ANTHONY E. SIEGMAN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 88 COPYRIGHT 2006 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. Photograph by Lars Speyder EDWARD LEONARD GINZTON December 27, 1915–August 13, 1998 BY ANTHONY E. SIEGMAN DWARD L. GINZTON’S MULTIFACETED career spanned an era E of immense technological advances in physics, electronics, and microwaves—and of important advances in social and political issues. Throughout his long and productive life his remarkable combination of scientific skills, leadership quali- ties, technological foresight, and community concerns en- abled him to make distinguished technical contributions and to build enduring institutions in which others could make such contributions as well. Ginzton’s scientific career began in the late 1930s when he helped develop the understanding of feedback in early vacuum tube amplifiers and worked with the pioneers who invented the klystron. It continued through his leadership in developing modern microwave technologies and mega- watt-level klystron tubes during and after World War II, and in helping make possible the development of linear elec- tron accelerators both as mile-long “atom smashers” and as medical tools still in use worldwide for cancer radiation therapy. His abilities eventually led him to take distinguished roles in both the academic and industrial worlds and in local and national community service as well. 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS By the end of his career Ginzton held some 50 funda- mental patents in electronics and microwave devices, had received the 1969 IEEE Medal of Honor “for his outstand- ing contributions in advancing the technology of high power klystrons and their applications, especially to linear particle accelerators,” and had been elected to the National Acad- emy of Sciences (1966) and the National Academy of Engi- neering(1965).

Closer examination re veals that government played a major role in launching and sustain ing some of the region's core industries through military contracting. Focusing on leading firms in the microwave electronics, missile, satellite, and semiconductor industries, this article argues that de mand for customized military technology encouraged contractors to embark on a course of flexible specialization, batch production, and continuous innovation.

Part 300, and the laws of the State of California. This decision is based on the Administrative Record for the site. The Administrative Record Index appended to this ROD identifies the documents upon which the selection of the remedial action is based. The State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is the lead agency that has been responsible for overseeing the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for this site. The state has finalized its selection of a remedial action for the site in the RWQCB Site Cleanup Requirements (SCRs). With this Record of Decision, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selects and concurs with the remedy chosen in the RWQCB SCRs. Assessment of the Site Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from the HP-640 PMR site, if not addressed by implementing the response action selected in this ROD, may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health, welfare or the environment.

    AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS ANNUAL REPORT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2010 Annual Report ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS ANNUAL REPORT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2010 This page is intentionally left blank. To our shareholders, Fiscal 2010 was a strong year for Agilent. Annual revenues were up almost $1 billion from fiscal 2009, an increase of 21 percent. Operating profit and earnings per share also increased substantially. In addition to benefiting from the acquisition of Varian which closed mid-year, we also saw very healthy organic growth in each of our businesses. Overall, Agilent is capitalizing well on the market upturn as the global economy recovers. Annual Report In addition to our strong fiscal 2010 financial results, we completed several strategic milestones. We executed a major restructuring of our electronic measurement business group. We completed the acquisition of Varian, the largest acquisition in our history, to strengthen our bio- analytical businesses. And we established a new business group to focus on the pursuit of the life science market, our largest measurement opportunity in the coming years. Electronic Measurement Group Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group (EMG) provides solutions in communications, industrial, aerospace and defense, semiconductor and computer measurement markets. As the company’s oldest and most established business, EMG’s heritage dates back more than 70 years to the founding of Agilent’s predecessor company, Hewlett-Packard. Core technology platforms include oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, spectrum analyzers and network analyzers. Electronic Measurement was the business most affected by the 2009 economic recession, due to its exposure to the industrial and consumer markets. Agilent’s management team took proactive actions as early as late 2008 to ensure EMG’s health through the economic downturn.
