    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.

In May, we announced plans to separate our Imaging Components business into Varex Imaging Corporation, a new independent public company, through a distribution to Varian stockholders early in fiscal year 2017. Our intent with this separation is to enable our oncology and imaging components businesses to optimize their operations and focus more sharply on the unique needs of customers in their respective markets. You may recall that Varian Medical Systems is itself the product of a successful spin-off that unlocked a tremendous amount of value in three businesses.

    As originally published in the SMTA Proceedings THE ORIGINS OF SILICON VALLEY: WHY AND HOW IT GOT STARTED Paul Wesling Hewlett-Packard Co (retired) [email protected] ABSTRACT unknown compared with other U.S. cities such as Boston, Silicon Valley – an area that encompasses San Francisco and Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York. Stanford University its extended suburbs to the south, including San Jose – is was a young school, founded on Leland Stanford’s stock farm commonly known as the tech capital of the world. When in 1891 in the sleepy town of Palo Alto. most people think of the Valley, they probably think of semiconductors, personal computers, software, biotech and self-driving cars. But it was a hub for innovation long before the rise of personal computing, or even the transistor. Some consider the start of Hewlett-Packard Company as the beginning of what would become Silicon Valley; others date the start of the story to the founding of William Shockley’s silicon transistor company, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, in Mountain View. But the seeds for what was to become Silicon Valley were actually sown 50 years earlier. TEHCNOLOGY IN THE USA The early tech hub in America was in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area during the 19th century.
