  • High School 50Th Anniversary Reunion, May 26, 1989 My Dearly Beloved, Ladies and Gentlemen, What Ad Alight It Is to Meet Again
    High School 50th Anniversary Reunion, May 26, 1989 My dearly beloved, ladies and gentlemen, what ad alight it is to meet again, after so long a time, with the people and the place in which I grew up. I am an historian ••• I am a backyard gar• dener. But you honor me with an invitation to speak to you at this time. Not TOO much of an hon11r, for I am allotted 8 minutes. I choose to talk to you briefly about the generation and the time of which we are a part. The date was June 27, 1936, in the summer after our freshman year in high school. The scene was Franklin Field, a football stadium in Philadelphia. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had just been nominated by the Derrncratic Party's national convention for a second term as president, and to accept the nomination the president went in person to that place. In his speech he said many memorable things, but I want to quote only three lines, as the motto and theme of our time. There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny. Sp spoke Pres. Roosevelt. And a rendezvous withd3stiny our generation has lived. In 1936 the country was deep in economic depression. The world, also suffering, saw in Germaey and in Italy and in Soviet Russiafiviolent and extreme experiments in totalitarianism as the solution to misery and despair.$Many people saw their choices as reduced to two:: liberty down one road, economic survival down the other.

  • 1 Basic Concepts of Digital Terrestrial Television Transmission System
    1 BASIC CONCEPTS OF DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM 1.1 INTRODUCTION AND HISTORIC REVIEW Television is a word of Latin and Greek origin meaning “far sight.” In Greek, tele means “far” while visio is “sight” in Latin. A television (TV) system transmits both audio and video signals to millions of households through electromagnetic waves and is one of the most important means of entertainment as well as information access. With the never-ending technological breakthroughs and the continuously increasing demands of audio and video services, the TV system has evolved over generations with several important developmental periods in less than a century. 1.1.1 Birth and Development of Television Black-and-White TV Era In the mid-1920s, the Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the successful transmission of motion images produced by a scanning disk with the resolution of 30 lines, good enough to discern a human face. In 1928, the first TV signal transmission was carried out in Schenectady, New York, and the world’s first TV station was established by theCOPYRIGHTED British Broadcasting Corporation MATERIAL in London eight years later. After World War II, the black-and-white TV era began. Detailed technical and implemen- tation specifications of TV service, including photography, editing, production, broadcasting, transmission, reception, and networking, were gradually formulated. With the ever-growing popularity of TV viewers, the color TV with better watching experience was invented to simulate the real world.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1985 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. PETER CARL GOLDMARK December 2, 1906 - December 8, 1977 BY ERNST WEBER IDELY RECOGNIZED as one of the world's leading elec- Wtronic innovators and inventors, Peter Carl Goldmark also had the initiative to translate his ideas into cultural contributions of the first order. Though color television as now brought into homes worldwide is a different system from his invention—the so-called field sequential system— without his initiative, introduction of color television might have been long delayed. Although several efforts toward producing long-playing records were in progress, Gold- mark's concentration on 33-1/3 r.p.m. succeeded. When President Carter presented to him the National Medal of Science in 1977, just a few days before his death, he added to the citation the personal remark that he was particularly grateful to Dr. Goldmark for developing the long-playing record. Peter Carl Goldmark was born on Aradi Street No. 60, in Budapest, Hungary on December 2, 1906. Little is known about his early years. From his autobiographical book, Mav- erick Inventor, which he published with the aid of Lee Edson, a free-lance writer, we take it that his mother was very musical.

    COLEGIO DE INGENIEROS CIVILES DE MÉXICO, A.C. LA INGENIERÍA MEXICANA EN LA PLANEACIÓN DEL DESARROLLO NACIONAL. Ponencia presentada por HUMBERTO HERNÁNDEZ HADDAD Abogado (Facultad de Derecho de la UNAM) Maestro en Políticas Públicas Internacionales (Universidad Johns Hopkins) Fellow del Centro de Estudios Internacionales (Universidad de Harvard) Ciudad de México. 20 de agosto de 2018. ¿QUÉ ES EL DESARROLLO? Es la interconexión de tres elementos: crecimiento económico sustentable; redistribución del producto; y movilidad con bienestar social. El desarrollo requiere la aplicación de la Ingeniería en todas sus ramas. La obra de la ingeniería civil de México tiene desafíos inéditos, como: 1.- La llegada inminente de cambios tecnológicos disruptivos que cambiarán los modos de vida y de producción en los próximos años. 2.- El cambio climático causado por efectos ambientales antropogénicos. 3.- La necesidad de insertarse en un sistema de planeación nacional del desarrollo que permita construir con la mayor eficiencia: A) La infraestructura estratégica que garantice el crecimiento del país. B) Las obras públicas que fomenten el desarrollo integral del país con sustentabilidad y aumento de la competitividad nacional. C) Impulsar la movilidad y el bienestar social de los mexicanos.

  • Vývoj Elektrotechniky
    Vývoj elektrotechniky Z historického hľadiska sa o prvých záznamoch o magnetizme a elektrine dozvedáme z poznatkov starých Grékov. Magnetit, magnetický oxid zo železa je uvedený v gréckych textoch už 800 rokov pred naším letopočtom. Tento nerast sa ťažil v provincii Magnesia v Tesália. Možno to bola práve blízkosť, ktorá dopomohla Thalesovi ako prvému Grékovi, zaoberať sa magnetickými silami. Thales z Milétu okolo roku 585 p. n. l., zistil, že keď potrel jantár kúskom kožušiny, tak ten bol schopný k sebe pritiahnuť ľahšie predmety. Thales, takto objavil princíp statickej elektriny. Jantár je skamenelá živica ihličnatého stromu s pred miliónmi rokov starého a v tom čase bol jantár cenený ako šperk, pre svoju peknú slnečnú farbu. Gréci poznali jantár pod menom „elektron“, ktoré sa zachovalo po klasických gréckych spisovateľoch. Na obrázku je vidieť poštovú známku z Grécka, na ktorej je nakreslená podobizeň Thalesa a kúsok jantáru ako priťahuje k sebe pierko. Thales sa narodil v roku 624 pred naším letopočtom v meste Milétu a bol gréckym filozofom, matematikom, astronómom a obchodníkom. Uznaný je ako jeden zo siedmich mudrcov v starom Grécku. Jeho hlavným prínosom je snaha o poskytnutie vedeckého vysvetlenia, ktoré boli doterez vysvetľované iba na základe mytológie. Za to ho Aristoteles nazval prvým filozofom v gréckej tradícií. Žiaľ, ani jedno jeho dielo sa nezachovalo v písomnej forme. Dostupné informácie pochádzajú iba od historika Diogenes Laertius, ktorý žil v 3. storočí pred naším letopočtom a citovanie Apollodorusa z Atén, ktorý žil okolo roku 140 pred naším letopočtom. Z dôvodu časovej medzery, je veľmi ťažké posúdiť jeho diela alebo poskytnúť bližšie údaje o ňom.
