The Prize
Winner of the 2004 Lemelson-MIT $500,000.00 Award
Went to Inventor of a
personal flying machine, the creator calls the
AirScooter. The Norris flying machine was featured
in a segment on the CBS news show "60 Minutes" on
Sunday, April 17, 2005.
When members of the
NBS100 committee saw the Television show featuring
the Helicopter and we heard about his patents in
HiTech sound, said Stubblefield, he got our vote.
What Norris accomplished this year, Nathan and
Bernard Stubblefield did in 1912 with their
Helicopter and airborne wireless telephone. It was
a great analogy out of the past. "We just hope the
government doesn't seize the asset . . . like they
seized the Stubblefield invention in 1913 ," --
said Stubblefield.
$500,000.00, is the largest cash award ever,
for U.S. Inventors," says Troy Cory-Stubblefield,
at the Celebrities for Mold Victims Press
Conference in L.A. The Lemelson-MIT Prize will be
presented for the first time in Portland in a
ceremony Friday evening at the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry", says Troy Cory-Stubblefield
of NBS100 EMw Awards.
Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, the primary trustee of the N.B.
Stubblefield Trust, says were interested in using
the Lemelson-MIT
$500,000.00 Award as a model for our
NBS100 annual award commencing in 2008, the 100th
anniversay of the Wireless Telephone Patent. The
only difference I can see from our show and the
Lemelson-MIT Prize Program, will be adding a little
glamour to the show.
What the
Lemelson-MIT Prize Program is doing at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is what we'd
like to do for institutions now being considered
for the project. The Lemelson-MIT Prize award was
conceived after Jerome H. Lemelson, the holder of
more than 550 patents, and his wife, Dorothy,
established the Lemelson Foundation in the 1990s,
to fund programs that promote invention and
entrepreneurship. (See
NBS100 TeleCom
Study)
We plan to have a University,
such as MIT, Pepperdine, USC or MSU in Murray,
Kentucky, administer our Nahan B. Stubblefield,
NBS100 wireless communication awards. We have
chosen 2008 to commence our monetary awards,
because that's the 100th year of theWireless
Telephone Patent, and the 110th year of "Firewire"
-- also patented by Stubblefield in 1898. 2008,
also marks the first Olympic Games in China, and
the introduction of the iNBS Wireless video phone,
named for Stubblefield. Click

Lemelson, continued Troy,
"died in 1997," -- obtained patents on inventions
including bar code readers, machine vision and toys
such as the crying baby doll. His inventions made
their way into computer hard drives, fax machines,
automated teller machines and Sony Walkman portable
music players.
Three years ago, the
foundation moved its headquarters to Portland.
Dorothy Lemelson and her sons Eric and Robert and
their wives serve on the board of directors.
The hypersonic sound
technology invented by Norris has a variety of
potential uses in autos, grocery stores, airports,
museums and fast-food
restaurants.
For example, it could be used
in laptop speakers to focus music to the person in
front of the screen without others hearing it.
The technology also could be
used in cars so that one CD player emits sound for
parents in the front seat and another player
targets sound for children in the back.
This year winner of the award
is inventor Elwood "Woody" Norris has been named to
receive the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT prize this year
to honor technology he developed to focus sound
over long distances.
Norris, founder and chairman
of American Technology Corp. in San Diego, holds 47
patents, including one covering his invention of
hypersonic sound technology.
Norris was featured Sunday in
a segment on the CBS news show "60 Minutes" about a
personal flying craft that he invented called the
AirScooter. Norris' prototype "flying car" has been
described as a cross between a Ferrari and a
Batmobile, CBS reported.
When members of the NBS100
committee saw the show featuring the Helicopter and
we heard about his patents in HiTech sound, said
Stubblefield, he got our vote. What Norris
accomplished, Nathan and Bernard Stubblefield did
in 1913 with their Helicopter and wireless
telephone. It was a great analogy out of the past.
"We just hope the government doesn't outlaw it . .
. though."
Previous
winners of the 11-year-old prize include Douglas
Engelbart, who invented the computer mouse; Dean
Kamen, inventor of the Segway Human Transporter;
and Leroy Hood, whose DNA sequencer made the Human
Genome Project possible.
"The only difference I can see
in our NBS100 EMw awards and Lemelson's, we would
like to see our communication award winners,
dibby-up the big cash award into several large
amounts, instead of one big $500,000.00 award",
ended Troy
Cory-Stubblefield.

Adding
WiFi to a Computer One of the best things about
WiFi is how simple it is. Many new laptops already
come with a WiFi card built in -- in many cases you
don't have to do anything to start using WiFi. It
is also easy to add a WiFi card to an older laptop
or a desktop PC. Here's what you do: CLICK FOR
