Edison could hardly have guessed, however, that Sophocles would one day appear in stereo.

Edison, however, never attempted to patent these instruments on the other side of the Atlantic, since they relied so greatly on previous experiments and innovations from Britain and Europe.

Edison sued to gain control of the patent ; however, after a federal court upheld the validity of the patent in 1907, Edison began negotiation with Biograph in May 1908 to reorganize the Edison licensing system.

The Bell and Edison patents, however, were forensically victorious and commercially decisive.

Most, however, used the Edison / Berliner carbon transmitter, which was much louder than the other kinds, even though it required an induction coil which was an impedance matching transformer to make it compatible with the impedance of the line.

It was Edison's format, however, that became first the dominant standard and then the " official " standard of the newly formed Motion Picture Patents Company, a trust established by Edison, which agreed in 1909 to what would become the standard: 35 mm gauge, with Edison perforations and a 1. 3 aspect ratio.

More disturbing, however, was the fact that the initial causal sequence of events at TMI had been duplicated 18 months earlier at another Babcock and Wilcox reactor, the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station owned at that time by Toledo Edison.

An alternative view, however, used to be popular: The 1971 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, for instance, claims that Edison " apparently thought so little of his invention that he failed to pay the $ 150 that would have granted him an international copyright.

Sales continued to drop, however, and although Edison Discs were available from dealers until the company left the record business in late October 1929, the last vertically-cut direct masters were recorded in the early summer of that year.

After a few experimental run-throughs, record producer Fred Gaisberg signed Dawson to an exclusive contract to cut discs for the Gramophone Company ( the predecessor of HMV / EMI ) in 1906 ; he continued, however, to record on cylinders for Edison until that company closed its London studios not long before World War I erupted.

Per procedure, Con Edison, the power provider for New York City and some of Westchester County, tried to start fast-start generation at 8: 45 p. m. EDT ; however, no one was manning the station, and the remote start failed.

Their business, however, proved lucrative until the advent of Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company ( also known as the Edison Trust ), which charged distributors exorbitant fees.

Her Edison recordings, however, represent not only some of the best operatic recordings released by that company, but also Muzio's power and ability to project her personal intensity through the difficult acoustic recording process.

Many of the early Edison moving images released after 1895, however, were non-fictional " actualities " filmed on location: views of ordinary slices of life — street scenes, the activities of police or firemen, or shots of a passing train.

This business model, however, came to a halt in 1908 when the Motion Picture Patents Company ( MPPC ; commonly known as the Edison Trust ) launched a wave of lawsuits against independent film studios on patent infringement grounds.

Eventually, Gillian, Cecilia, and Edison had returned to the entertainment industry, however, Bobo never returned.

* Thermionic emission, the flow of charged particles called thermions from a charged metal or a charged metal oxide surface, archaically known as the Edison effect

But the fame bestowed on Edison for this invention ( sometimes called his most original ) was not due to its efficiency.

In 1885, Thomas Edison bought property in Fort Myers, Florida, and built what was later called Seminole Lodge as a winter retreat.

Edison defended Paine's " scientific deism ", saying, " He has been called an atheist, but atheist he was not.

Edison was called an atheist for those remarks, and although he did not allow himself to be drawn into the controversy publicly, he clarified himself in a private letter: " You have misunderstood the whole article, because you jumped to the conclusion that it denies the existence of God.

If the extra electrode ( also called a " plate " or " anode ") is made more positive than the hot filament, a direct current flows through the vacuum to the anode ( a demonstration of the Edison effect ).

In 1904, as a result of experiments conducted on Edison effect bulbs imported from the USA, he developed a device he called an " oscillation valve " ( because it passes current in only one direction ).

In the United States, Thomas Edison, in the mid-1880s, patented an electromagnetic induction system he called " grasshopper telegraphy ", which allowed telegraphic signals to jump the short distance between a running train and telegraph wires running parallel to the tracks.

In the basement of the new Ellicott Square Building, Main Street, Buffalo, New York, Mitchell Mark ( properly spelled Mitchel Mark ) and his brother Moe Mark added what they called Edison's Vitascope Theater ( entered through Edisonia Hall ), which they opened to the general public on October 19, 1896 in collaboration with Rudolf Wagner, who had moved to Buffalo after spending several years working at the Edison laboratories.

Film pioneer Edwin S. Porter produced a seven-minute live-action film adaptation called The Dream of a Rarebit Fiend in 1906 for the Edison Company.

The Edison Military Band performed a piece called " Dream of the Rarebit Fiend " on an Edison cylinder ( Edison 9585 ) in 1907, written by Thomas W. Thurban.

: see also: Raritan, New Jersey ; both Hazlet and Edison, New Jersey were formerly called Raritan Township

In 1876, Thomas Alva Edison set up his home and research laboratory on the site of an unsuccessful real estate development in Raritan Township called Menlo Park.

Township officials have negotiated no housing on the site, to be called " Edison Towne Square.

Originally, Edison had its own high school, but by the late 1940s, Edison had partnered with nearby Burlington to create the Burlington-Edison School District, including a new high school called Burlington-Edison High School.

He would then make a Farmer Al Falfa short for Edison Pictures, called " Farmer Al Falfa's Wayward Pup " ( 1917 ), and some later cartoons were made for Paramount Pictures.

Initially, radio, or wireless as it was more commonly called, was an open field of hobbyists and early inventors and experimenters, including Nikola Tesla, Lee De Forest, and Thomas Edison.

In 1948, he established a charitable foundation, originally called " The Brook Foundation ", now the Charles Edison Fund.

This one-way current was called the Edison effect ( although the term is occasionally used to refer to thermionic emission itself ).

Four years later, the Edison operation came out with its last substantial new film exhibition technology, a short-lived theatrical system called the Super Kinetoscope.

Marvin was called the Edison of manufacturing for his innovations in the bakery business — by 1888 the largest in the United States — and the centerpiece to the organization of the National Biscuit Company ( Nabisco ).

This effect was first observed by Thomas Edison in light bulb filaments, where it is sometimes called the Edison effect, but space charge is a significant phenomenon in many vacuum and solid-state electronic devices.

An early Edison production was The Execution Of Mary, Queen Of Scots.

The discovery that movies are a form of fiction was made in the early years of this century and it was made chiefly by two men, a French magician, Georges Melies, and an American employee of Edison, Edwin S. Porter.

* 1892 – Thomas Edison receives a patent for a two-way telegraph.

Another prominent member was Thomas A. Edison.

In 1907, Griffith, still writing as a playwright, went to New York and attempted to sell a script to Edison Studios producer Edwin Porter.

In 1995 the government was defeated in elections by the United Workers Party of Edison James.

Thomas Edison independently rediscovered the principle on February 13, 1880.

At the time, Edison was investigating why the filaments of his carbon-filament light bulbs nearly always burned out at the positive-connected end.

Edison devised a circuit where his modified light bulb effectively replaced the resistor in a DC voltmeter.

Edison was awarded a patent for this invention in 1884.

Since there was no apparent practical use for such a device at the time, the patent application was most likely simply a precaution in case someone else did find a use for the so-called Edison effect.

and former Edison employee ) realized that the Edison effect could be used as a precision radio detector.

Thomas Edison built the world's first large-scale electrical supply network.

In 1882, Edison switched on the world's first large-scale electrical supply network that provided 110 volts direct current to fifty-nine customers in lower Manhattan.

In the following years a bitter rivalry between Tesla and Edison, known as the " War of Currents ", took place over the preferred method of distribution.

Through such people as Nikola Tesla, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Thomas Edison, Ottó Bláthy, Ányos Jedlik, Sir Charles Parsons, Joseph Swan, George Westinghouse, Ernst Werner von Siemens, Alexander Graham Bell and Lord Kelvin, electricity was turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life, becoming a driving force for the Second Industrial Revolution.

He held 42 patents and received numerous awards, including the first Institute of Radio Engineers now IEEE Medal of Honor, the French Legion of Honor, the 1941 Franklin Medal and the 1942 Edison Medal.
