  1. 4. In 1896 a German physics professor, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, presented a remarkable lecture entitled “Concerning a New Kind of Ray.” Roentgen called it the “X-ray”
  2. 6. In 1985 the computer software “Windows” was made.
  3. 7. The Hornsby-Akroyd oil engine, named after its inventor Herbert Akroyd Stuart and the manufacturer Richard Hornsby & Sons, was the first successful design of an internal combustion engine using heavy oil as a fuel. Made on 26 June 1891.

  5. 10. The technology behind the X-ray machine, a foundation of modern medicine, was “accidentally” discovered nearly 120 years ago this week on November 8, 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
  6. 15. Thomas Telford and John Loudon McAdam created the first modern roads made from stone, gravel, and different road mixtures. In 1756.
  7. 16. Abraham Karem (born 1937) is a designer of fixed and rotary-wing unmanned vehicles. He is regarded as the founding father of UAV (drone) technology.
  8. 18. On 7 March 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone.
  9. 21. In 1845 – 1846, NIHF Inductee John Roebling Invented the Suspension Bridge.
  10. 23. Later in 1810, British inventor Peter Durand patented his own canning method using tin instead of glass.
  11. 24. In the mid-1950s, when Clark E. Beck, PE, of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base engineered the development of radiant barrier technology for NASA and the space program, he couldn't have envisioned the variety of applications for which this insulation material would someday be used.
  12. 25. The first constructed dams were gravity dams, which are straight dam made of masonry (stone brick) or concrete that resists the water load by means of weight. ." Around 2950-2750 B.C, the ancient Egyptians built the first known dam to exist.
  13. 26. The concept of negative-pressure ventilation had been around for hundreds of years, but the device that became widely used — the 'Drinker respirator' — was invented in 1928 by Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw, professors at the School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts.

  7. 12. Taguchi realized that the best opportunity to eliminate variation of the final product quality is during the design of a product and its manufacturing process. Consequently, he developed a strategy for quality engineering that can be used in both contexts. The process has three stages: System design. In the 1980s.
