Albert Macovski

Albert Macovski is an American Professor at Stanford University,

known for his many innovations in the area of imaging, particularly

in the medical field. He has over 150 patents and has authored

over 200 technical articles. His innovations include the single-tube

color camera and real-time phased array imaging for ultrasound.

Philo Farnsworth

Philo Farnsworth is perhaps best known for inventing the first fully

functional all-electronic image pickup device, the "image

dissector", as well as the first fully functional and complete all-

electronic television system. He was also the first person to

demonstrate such a system to the public.

John Bardeen

John Bardeen was an American physicist and electrical engineer,

the only person to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice: first

in 1956 with William Shockley and Walter Brattain for the

invention of the transistor; and again in 1972 with Leon N Cooper

and John Robert Schrieffer for a fundamental theory of

conventional superconductivity known as the BCS theory.
