The production and commercialization of the super-Emitron and image iconoscope in Europe were not affected by the patent war between Zworykin and Farnsworth, because Dieckmann and Hell had priority in Germany for the invention of the image dissector, having submitted a patent application for their Lichtelektrische Bildzerlegerröhre für Fernseher ( Photoelectric Image Dissector Tube for Television ) in Germany in 1925, two years before Farnsworth did the same in the United States.

Nevertheless, neither Tihanyi nor Farnsworth considered the use of a semitransparent plate, and they never transmitted clear images with the devices described in their patents, because they were not aware that the beam alignment had to be perpendicular to the plate in order to produce a well focused image.

Robert D. Van Valin ( born February 1, 1952 ) is an American linguist and the principal author behind the development of Role and Reference Grammar, a functional theory of grammar encompassing syntax, semantics and discourse pragmatics.

Instead of positing a rich innate and universal syntactic structure ( see Universal Grammar ), Van Valin suggests that the only truly universal parts of a sentence are its nucleus, generally a predicating element such as a verb or adjective, and the arguments, normally noun phrases, that the nucleus requires.

Van Valin also departs from Chomskyan syntactic theory by denying the universality of the verb phrase.
