Without this Person "Phonecell Never Existed"

No discovery, no one will ever pitch while calling her/his cell phone. He has made a business (mobile phone) is formed and became a business. "(Frank Vigilante of Amos Joel Jr., inventor of" switching "phone," New York Times ")

Modern human civilization inevitable discovery rests on two very powerful technologies, namely Internet and cell phones (mobile). Both technologies on human beings is now the mainstay of communication, career, business, and other activities.

In the case of the Internet, people familiar with the discoverer figures, like Bob Taylor, an expert psikoakustik and Computer Research Program Director at the Defense's Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) in 1966. During that period he got the idea to connect the computers in the network. In addition to Taylor, there was Larry Robert, a pioneer in computer networking Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the only scientist in the U.S. who are considered capable of bringing Taylor envisioned a network. Of course there is Vint Cerf and his colleagues from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, the mobile communication world, there is a cell phone inventor Martin Cooper, who was then-35 years ago, exactly 3 April 1973, working at Motorola. People can still listen to Cooper's dream, to imagine that such a small size device, mounted behind the ear, and dial automatically when the user intends someone call that number.

However, the focus this time not to Cooper, but on the other figure who was also instrumental in the development of mobile communications. This figure is none other than Amos E Joel Jr., pioneer connective system (switching) device from one cell region to another cell area. This switching should work when the phone user moves / move from one cell to another cell so that the conversation is not interrupted.

Since the discovery of this Joel Amos became comfortable using mobile phones.

In addition to the phone switching system, patented by the number 3,663,762, Joel also took part in the development of traffic service position system (TSPS) is used to automate your work phone and automatic intercept system (AIS) which was created to handle calls to numbers not active automatically.

Great inventors

Amos Joel Jr., who was born in Philadelphia, March 12, 1918, was recognized as a world expert in the field of switching. He received a bachelor degree (1940) and master's (1942) in electronic engineering from MIT. Shortly after the study, he began his career over 43 years (from July 1940-March 1983) at Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he received more than 70 U.S. patents in the field of telecommunications, particularly in the field of switching.

Joel, who this year entered in the National Inventors Hall of Fame, died Saturday, October 25, at his home in Maplewood, New Jersey, in the age of 90 years.

Mobile phone users worldwide can now contemplate, what Joel contribution in today's mobile civilization. This is concluded by Frank Vigilante, who had become one of Joel supervisor at Bell Labs in the quotation above.

Lesson for inventors

Joel can be a great inventor of course because it has a high intelligence, but other than that there is also another skill. Apparently since childhood brain Joel likes to manipulate electronic goods. As a boy, Andrew Martin said the obituary in the New York Times, Joel communication systems are often assembled for his friends, using old phone equipment that was left in an empty apartment. He also tried to make a simple switching.

When he tells his career back to the newspaper The Star-Ledger in New Jersey several months ago, Joel said, the things he admired as a child and it is a connector (switch) on the electric toy train and turn the phone (dial) first in house.

"I want to know, how things work," he said.

While still in college, he met his wife, Rhoda Fenton-ago he had taken into his office to look at patents which he had collected.

After the date, Fenton thought Joel was crazy, but finally he received Joel and both were married for 58 years.

In addition to tinkering with the happy means of communication, Joel also enjoy teaching. After World War II, he developed and taught a course on switching systems and circuit design, until finally he found a means of first automatic telephone bill.

For services and contributions, an award winning Joel Inventor of the Year by the New Jersey Congress of Inventors, and received the highest award of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Medal of Honor. Other awards he has ever received is the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology (1989) and the National Medal of Technology (1993) and Stuart Ballantine Medal of the Franklin Institute.

As mobile communications become so vital in today's civilization, the contribution of Amos Joel memorabilia and technology and to cultivate habits that then produces a useful invention for mankind, truly enviable.
