    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.

    SFUND RECORDS CTR 44335 RECORD OF DECISION Hewlett-Packard 640 Page Mill Road Superfund Site Palo Alto, California EPA ID/ CAD980884209 PART I - DECLARATION Statement of Basis and Purpose This Record of Decision (ROD) presents the selected remedial action for the Hewlett-Packard 640 Page Mill Road Superfund site (HP-640 PMR) in Palo Alto, California. This document was developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 42 U.S.C. S 9601 et seg., and, to the extent practicable, in accordance with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 C.F.R. 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.

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.
