William Frederick Schelter ( 1947 – July 30, 2001 ) was a professor of mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin and a Lisp developer and programmer.

Band structure calculations was first used in 1930 to predict the properties of new materials, and in 1947 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley developed the first semiconductor-based transistor, heralding a revolution in electronics.

William Dwight Schultz ( born November 24, 1947 ) is an American stage, television, film actor, and voice artist.

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by William B. Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain opened the door for more compact devices and led to the development of the integrated circuit in 1958 by Jack Kilby and independently in 1959 by Robert Noyce.

The field-effect transistor was first patented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925 and by Oskar Heil in 1934, but practical semi-conducting devices ( the JFET ) were only developed much later after the transistor effect was observed and explained by the team of William Shockley at Bell Labs in 1947.

Sir William McKell ( 1947 – 53 ) was knighted during his term of office, but all the other governors-general until 1989 were already either peers or knights ; the only Australian peer was Lord Casey ( 1965 – 69 ).
