		Duxbury Systems -- Louis Braille and the Braille System ^Votes:0 Braille Louis Braille's life is captured in a new biography entitled Louis Braille: A Touch of Genius . Louis Braille In the French town of Coupvray, near Paris, there stands a little stone house that, in 1809, was the home of the local harness maker, Simon RenÉ Braille, his wife Monique, and their growing family. On January 4th of that year, the house grew a little livelier with the birth of their fourth child, Louis. Louis was a bright and inquisitive child, characteristics that were to play a role both in the tragic accident that caused his blindness and in his triumph over the limitations to reading that were the normal consequences of blindness at that time. At the age of 3, while playing in his father's shop, Louis injured his eye on a sharp tool. Despite the best care available at t Read More Go to Site

		Edwin Howard Armstrong ^Votes:0 Edwin Howard Armstrong b 1890 New York City, d 1954 New York City Armstrong is the most important engineer on this list, and one of greats of the 20th century. Most of the greats are known for one or two key innovations: Widlar and the op amp, Cray and vector supercomputers, Sutherland for both Sketchpad and flight simulation. Armstrong had three: regeneration , superheterodyning , and frequency modulation . He was the last of the line of heroic individual American inventors, and he came to a particularly American end - death by lawyers. His last struggles also bear on questions that are puzzling to this day, such as why AM radio hasn't been swept away by FM.

		Leonardo Da Vinci ^Votes:0 Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) needs no introduction; if there is anyone who seems to embody the Renaissance completely and totally, it is this grouchy and self-centered painter, scholar, inventor, scientist, writer, anatomist, etc. He seems to span the whole of human knowledge as it was known at the time, and combine all this knowledge into this one vast, syncretic whole. So encompassing was his artistic and intellectual accomplishment, that the life and work of Leonardo traditionally marks the beginning of what historians call the High Renaissance . For all this genius, however, he could never really finish very many projects (which seems to be a general rule prevailing among geniuses; they never finish projects, I think, because they get bored too easily), nor did he ever realize most of Read More Go to Site

He went to school and eventually became a librarian at Amherst College. In 1876, he published an important book, one that would totally change the way books were arranged in libraries. Through this book Dewey established the Dewey Decimal System. Dewey did other things to affect the ways libraries operate today. He helped found the American Library Association in 1876 and established the first professional library school in the United States in 1887.

		The Story of Louis Braille ^Votes:0 The Story of Louis Braille There was a time, not long ago, when most people thought that blind people could never learn to read. People thought that the only way to read was to look at words with your eyes. A young French boy named Louis Braille thought otherwise. Blind from the age of three, young Louis desperately wanted to read. He realized the vast world of thought and ideas that was locked out to him because of his disability. And he was determined to find the key to this door for himself, and for all other blind persons. This story begins in the early part of the nineteenth century. Louis Braille was born in 1809, in a small village near Paris. His father made harnesses and other leather goods to sell to the other villagers. Louis' father often used sharp tools to cut and punch holes Read More Go to Site
