The development of B-mode imaging, including features such as contact scanning, spatial compounding and a limited form of grey scale display, is reviewed up to the 1960s, in relation to the work of Brown and Donald in Glasgow.

The International System of units used nowadays in most of the word experienced a turning point in the first half of the XX century with the introduction of the ampere (A) as a fourth unit in addition to the original length (M – meter), mass (K – kilogram) and time (S – second), hence turning from a MKS to a MKSA system. This addition was a non-trivial and lengthy process mainly carried on by the Italian engineer Giovanni Giorgi. This contribution retraces this revolution in the measurement system.

Pocket computers are a category of personal computer. A complete computer system in a small battery powered package that slips in your pocket, it has all the elements needed for writing and running programs. They are reliable, affordable and useable by persons with minimum knowledge. Applications benefit from quick, on the spot data gathering, validation, analysis. Learning to program was simple and easy with the manuals supplied with them.

Claude Shannon is renowned for his master’s thesis in which he applied George Boole’s binary logic to electrical switching networks, establishing the mathematical basis for digital circuit design. Far less publicized is his contribution to the innovation of a personal digital computer some 20 years later. Between 1954 and 1961, while working at AT&T’s Bell Telephone Laboratories and teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he designed and built an embodiment of a programmable, digital switching network of electromechanical relays and licensed its techniques to two entrepreneurs, Edmund Berkeley and Oliver Garfield, for sale as a home computer. The GENIAC, BRAINIAC, and MINIVAC represented iterations of Shannon’s work at Bell Labs and sowed interest in digital computing with young people in the United States and in parts of Europe, well over ten years before electronic digital computers equipped with microprocessors reached a much bigger audience.
