Having spent most of 1942 in the Reserve he managed to direct Lifeline ( Norman Armstrong ) starring Frank Pettingell at the Duchess Theatre in July ; and The Duke in Darkness ( Patrick Hamilton ) starring Leslie Banks at the St James's Theatre in October, also taking the role of Gribaux.

Armstrong held off attacks from many riders, although Alexandre Vinokourov managed to get away and take second.

Armstrong managed to win the sprint for third place, with the associated time bonus, giving him his first yellow jersey of the Tour, forty seconds ahead of Beloki, who was now looking to be a major challenger.

Lance Armstrong, sitting just behind Beloki, managed some quick thinking, swerving off the road through a field, getting off his bike, hopping over a small embankment, and resuming the chase.

The dairy herd is managed by Neil Armstrong.

In the second, an example of a " permissions culture ", he describes how David Sarnoff, president of RCA, managed to persuade the government to delay the deployment of the rival wideband FM radio, invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong.

He paid for his earlier efforts on the " hors category " climb by suffering from a drop of energy, but managed to hold on to the victory by crossing the finish line with a 42 seconds advantage over his nearest competitor, eventual yellow jersey winner Lance Armstrong.

In the commotion, Armstrong managed to bowl two overs in succession, an action also against the laws of cricket.

Throughout the 1970s and well into the 1980s, News at Ten managed to encompass a regular team of famous and well-known newscasters including Alastair Burnet, Sandy Gall, Reginald Bosanquet, Anna Ford, Selina Scott, Carol Barnes, Pamela Armstrong, Alastair Stewart, and Trevor McDonald.

In 1914 Edwin Armstrong published an explanation of the Audion, and when the two later faced each other in a dispute over the regeneration patent, Armstrong was able to demonstrate conclusively that De Forest still had no idea how it worked.

During the building of the tower, Armstrong developed another system using weighted accumulators, which at once was found to have great advantages.

He served on the committees which considered the application of armour to ships and fortifications ( 1861 – 1864 ), and the comparative advantages of Whitworth and Armstrong guns ( 1863 – 1865 ).

In science and technology, Columbia alumni include: founder of IBM Herman Hollerith ; inventor of FM radio Edwin Armstrong ; inventor of the nuclear submarine Hyman Rickover ; founder of Google China Kai-Fu Lee ; scientists Stephen Jay Gould, Robert Millikan, Helium – neon laser inventor Ali Javan and Michael Pupin ; chief-engineer of the New York City subway William Barclay Parsons ; philosophers Irwin Edman and Robert Nozick ; and economist Milton Friedman

Armstrong was also the inventor of modern frequency modulation ( FM ) radio transmission.

The Philosophy Hall at Columbia University, which housed the basement laboratory where Armstrong developed FM radio.

( Armstrong received a patent on wide-band FM on 26 December 1933.

From May 1934 until October 1935, Armstrong conducted the first large scale field tests of his FM radio technology from a laboratory constructed by RCA on the 85th floor of the Empire State Building.

In 1937, Armstrong financed construction of the first FM radio station, W2XMN, a 40 kilowatt broadcaster in Alpine, New Jersey.

RCA's momentous victory in the courts left Armstrong unable to claim royalties on any FM receivers, including televisions, which were sold in the United States.

MacInnis was able to formally establish Armstrong as the inventor of FM following protracted court proceedings over five of his basic FM patents.

After her husband's death, Marion Armstrong became extraordinarily wealthy as a result of successful FM patent litigation against RCA and other companies.

Philosophy Hall, the Columbia building where Armstrong developed FM, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2003 in recognition of that fact.

In 1946 the FCC's decision to use Armstrong's FM system as the standard for NTSC television sound gave Armstrong another chance at royalty payments.

* 1935 – Inventor Edwin Armstrong gives the first public demonstration of FM broadcasting in the United States at Alpine, New Jersey.

FM radio was developed in the United States by Edwin Armstrong.

On January 5, 1940, Edwin H. Armstrong demonstrated FM broadcasting in a long-distance relay network, via five stations in five States.

However, the FCC was influenced by RCA chairman David Sarnoff, who had the covert goal of disrupting the successful FM network that Edwin Armstrong had established on the old band.

On January 4, 1940, Yonkers resident Edwin Howard Armstrong transmitted the first FM radio broadcast ( on station W2XCR ) from the Yonkers home of C. R.

FM radio was invented by Edwin H. Armstrong in the 1930s for the specific purpose of overcoming the interference problem of AM radio, to which it is relatively immune.

* Edwin Armstrong, inventor of FM

Edwin Howard Armstrong, a network radio pioneer who invented FM radio, used West Peak in 1939 for the location of one of the first FM radio broadcasts.

The inventor of FM radio, Edwin Armstrong, invented and patented the regenerative circuit while he was a junior in college, in 1914.

In the summer of 1912, Edwin Armstrong observed oscillations in audion radio receiver circuits and went on to use positive feedback in his invention of the regenerative receiver.

Armstrong and De Forest fought a protracted legal battle over the rights to the " regenerative " oscillator circuit which has been called " the most complicated patent litigation in the history of radio ".

Thus, both Carson and Armstrong ultimately contributed significantly to the science and technology of radio.

Armstrong was of the opinion that anyone who had actual contact with the development of radio understood that the radio art was the product of experiment and work based on physical reasoning, rather than on the mathematicians ' calculations and formulae ( known today as part of " mathematical physics ").

* Armstrong oscillator — basic circuit for reception of AM radio signals

Armstrong realized that if radio direction-finding ( RDF ) receivers could be operated at a higher frequency, this would allow better detection of enemy shipping.

An intermediate frequency was first used in the superheterodyne radio receiver, invented by American scientist Major Edwin Armstrong in 1918, during World War I.

A member of the Signal Corps, Armstrong was building radio direction finding equipment to track German military signals at the then-very high frequencies of 500 to 3500 kHz.

Local resident Buck Hammer was a member of the Radio Church of God, ( which later became known as the Worldwide Church of God ) a California-based, Sabbatarian movement headed by radio evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong.

Herbert W. Armstrong ( 31 July 1892-16 January 1986 ) founded the Worldwide Church of God in the late 1930s, as well as Ambassador College ( later Ambassador University ) in 1946, and was an early pioneer of radio and tele-evangelism, originally taking to the airwaves in the 1930s from Eugene, Oregon.

In October 1933, a small 100-watt radio station in Eugene, Oregon, KORE, offered free time to Armstrong for a morning devotional, a 15-minute time slot shared by other local ministers.

Franz Josef Strauss, a major politician in post WWII Germany, became the target of the broadcasting and publishing media blitz that Armstrong unleashed upon Europe through the daily offshore pirate radio station broadcasts by his son Garner Ted Armstrong, The Plain Truth and the Ambassador College campus at Bricket Wood in Hertfordshire, England.

Founded in 1934 by Herbert W. Armstrong as a religious broadcasting radio ministry named Radio Church of God, the Worldwide Church of God had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time prophecies.

On January 7, 1934, Armstrong began hosting a broadcast on a local 100-watt radio station KORE in Eugene.
