Frederick McKinley Jones was a successful businessman who manufactured refrigeration system for trucks and railroad cars.
Jones was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was orphaned at the age of nine. He was then raised by a priest in Kentucky. Jones left school after grade six and left the rectory to return to Cincinnati at age sixteen, where he got a job as an apprentice automobile mechanic. He boosted his natural mechanical ability and inventive mind with independent reading and study. In 1912, Jones moved to Hallock, Minnesota, where he worked as a mechanic on a 50,000-acre farm. After service with the U.S. Army in World War I, Jones returned to Hallock; while employed as a mechanic, Jones taught himself electronics and built a transmitter for the town’s new radio station. He also invented a device to combine sound with motion pictures. This attracted the attention of Joseph A. Numero of Minneapolis, Minnesota, who hired Jones in 1930 to improve the sound equipment made by his firm, Cinema Supplies, Inc. On June 17, 1939, Jones received his first patent, for a ticket-dispensing machine for movie houses. Read More »

Mark E. Dean (born March 2, 1957) is an inventor and a computer scientist. He holds three of the nine original IBM patents upon which the IBM PC personal computers were based. He led the team that developed the ISA bus, and he led the design team responsible for creating the first one-gigahertz computer processor chip.
Dean is the first African-American to become an IBM Fellow which is the highest level of technical excellence at the company. In 1997, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Currently, he is an IBM Vice President overseeing the company’s Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California.
Dean led a team that developed the interior architecture (ISA systems bus) that enables multiple devices, such as modems and printers, to be connected to personal computers.
Dean made history again by leading the design team responsible for creating the first 1-gigahertz processor chip, another significant step in making computers faster and smaller.

Some say its in his lyrics others say the signs are in his videos. One christian rapper has taken it to the next level and actually disses “Jay Z”. That rappers name is “Bizzle”. Peep the youtube video of him calling out “Jay Z”. Decide for yourself! Watch the video and listen closely!
“Invented electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the control unit for a pacemaker.”
Born in 1920 in Dallas, Texas, Otis Boykin attended Fisk University and Illinois Institute of Technology, where he started his career as a laboratory assistant testing automatic controls for aircraft. He then directed his efforts toward inventing, ultimately developing more than 25 electronic devices.
One of his early inventions was an improved electrical resistor for computers, radios, televisions and an assortment of other electronic devices. Other notable inventions include a variable resistor used in guided missiles and small component thick-film resistors for computers. These innovations in resistor design contributed to significant cost reductions in electronic components for both military and commercial applications. Read More »
