The National Inventors Hall of Fame inducted Ralph C. Merkle March 3 2011. The announcement included Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. The three jointly conceived and patented Public Key Cryptography (PKC). Merkle realized PKC was possible in 1974 as an undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley. He joined forces with Diffie and Hellman in 1976. This fruitful …
a high temperature superconductor emdrive thruster, which operates at 3.8 GHz, and was designed using an update of the software used for the previous S band designs. Super-conducting surfaces are formed from YBCO thin films on sapphire substrates. Small signal testing at 77 deg K confirmed the design, with a Q of 6.8×106 being measured. …
