  • The Evolution of Ibm Research Looking Back at 50 Years of Scientific Achievements and Innovations
    FEATURES THE EVOLUTION OF IBM RESEARCH LOOKING BACK AT 50 YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS l Chris Sciacca and Christophe Rossel – IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland – DOI: 10.1051/epn/2014201 By the mid-1950s IBM had established laboratories in New York City and in San Jose, California, with San Jose being the first one apart from headquarters. This provided considerable freedom to the scientists and with its success IBM executives gained the confidence they needed to look beyond the United States for a third lab. The choice wasn’t easy, but Switzerland was eventually selected based on the same blend of talent, skills and academia that IBM uses today — most recently for its decision to open new labs in Ireland, Brazil and Australia. 16 EPN 45/2 Article available at http://www.europhysicsnews.org or http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epn/2014201 THE evolution OF IBM RESEARCH FEATURES he Computing-Tabulating-Recording Com- sorting and disseminating information was going to pany (C-T-R), the precursor to IBM, was be a big business, requiring investment in research founded on 16 June 1911.

  • Treatment and Differential Diagnosis Insights for the Physician's
    Treatment and differential diagnosis insights for the physician’s consideration in the moments that matter most The role of medical imaging in global health systems is literally fundamental. Like labs, medical images are used at one point or another in almost every high cost, high value episode of care. Echocardiograms, CT scans, mammograms, and x-rays, for example, “atlas” the body and help chart a course forward for a patient’s care team. Imaging precision has improved as a result of technological advancements and breakthroughs in related medical research. Those advancements also bring with them exponential growth in medical imaging data. The capabilities referenced throughout this document are in the research and development phase and are not available for any use, commercial or non-commercial. Any statements and claims related to the capabilities referenced are aspirational only. There were roughly 800 million multi-slice exams performed in the United States in 2015 alone. Those studies generated approximately 60 billion medical images. At those volumes, each of the roughly 31,000 radiologists in the U.S. would have to view an image every two seconds of every working day for an entire year in order to extract potentially life-saving information from a handful of images hidden in a sea of data. 31K 800MM 60B radiologists exams medical images What’s worse, medical images remain largely disconnected from the rest of the relevant data (lab results, patient-similar cases, medical research) inside medical records (and beyond them), making it difficult for physicians to place medical imaging in the context of patient histories that may unlock clues to previously unconsidered treatment pathways.

  • The Impetus to Creativity in Technology
    The Impetus to Creativity in Technology Alan G. Konheim Professor Emeritus Department of Computer Science University of California Santa Barbara, California 93106 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: We describe the technical developments ensuing from two well-known publications in the 20th century containing significant and seminal results, a paper by Claude Shannon in 1948 and a patent by Horst Feistel in 1971. Near the beginning, Shannon’s paper sets the tone with the statement ``the fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately a message selected *sent+ at another point.‛ Shannon’s Coding Theorem established the relationship between the probability of error and rate measuring the transmission efficiency. Shannon proved the existence of codes achieving optimal performance, but it required forty-five years to exhibit an actual code achieving it. These Shannon optimal-efficient codes are responsible for a wide range of communication technology we enjoy today, from GPS, to the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, and lastly to worldwide communication over the Internet. The US Patent #3798539A filed by the IBM Corporation in1971 described Horst Feistel’s Block Cipher Cryptographic System, a new paradigm for encryption systems. It was largely a departure from the current technology based on shift-register stream encryption for voice and the many of the electro-mechanical cipher machines introduced nearly fifty years before. Horst’s vision directed to its application to secure the privacy of computer files. Invented at a propitious moment in time and implemented by IBM in automated teller machines for the Lloyds Bank Cashpoint System.
