African – American Scientist and Mathematicians
Below is a list of popular inventors, scientist and mathematicians who have made significant contributions to society and the world. You are to research each of them and state their contribution(s), the year in which it was made and their field of study. Due Date: February 25, 2010 during regular class time. Scientist/Mathematician | Contribution/Invention | Year | Field of Study | George Alcorn | Invented an imaging x-ray spectrometer using thermomigration of aluminum, for which he earned a patent in 1984, and two years later he devised an improved method of fabrication using laser drilling. | 1978 | …show more content…
He is well known for creating the heating system for New York's famous Radio City Music Hall and Rockerfeller Center. He invented about 30 things dealing with heat and ventilation. Like stream trap, vacuum heating system, method of heating, regulating radiator valve, and etc. | 1920 | Engineering | Mark Dean | Dean co-invented improvements in computer architecture that allowed IBM compatible PCs to use the same peripheral devices.he led the design team responsible for creating the first one-gigahertz computer processor chip. He invented a Method for Dynamically Sequencing Operation of a Self-Timed Processing System along and some more stuff. | 1996 | electrical engineering | Ronald Demon | He is the inventor of the Smart Shoe - an athletic shoe whose cushion support automatically adjusts to suit the shape of the wearer's feet. | 1988 | Computer Science | Joseph Hunter Dickinson | invented several improvements to different musical instruments like Volume-controlling means for mechanical musical instruments | 1909 | | Clatonia Joaquin Dorticus | Invented an improved photographic print wash method. | 1895 | | Charles Richard Drew | first person to develop the blood bank | |
