* 19 February 1876 — Gray is notified by the U. S. Patent Office of an interference between his caveat and Bell's patent application.

In 1875, Gray sold his interests to Western Union, including the caveat that he had filed against Alexander Graham Bell's patent application for the telephone.

Which application arrived first is hotly disputed, although Gray believed that his caveat arrived a few hours before Bell's application.

Wilber suspended Bell's application for 90 days to give Gray time to submit a competing patent application.

Such an interference would delay Bell's application until Bell submitted proof, under the first to invent rules, that Bell had invented that feature before Gray.

Although Bell was accused, and is still accused, of stealing the telephone from Gray, Bell used Gray's water transmitter design only after Bell's patent was granted and only as a proof of concept scientific experiment to prove to his own satisfaction that intelligible " articulate speech " ( Bell's words ) could be electrically transmitted.

474, 230, 474, 231 and 474, 232 ) were awarded to Edison in 1892 over the competing claims of Alexander Graham Bell, Emile Berliner, Elisha Gray, A E Dolbear, J W McDonagh, G B Richmond, W L W Voeker, J H Irwin and Francis Blake Jr. Edison's carbon granules transmitter and Bell's electromagnetic receiver were used, with improvements, by the Bell system for many decades thereafter ( Josephson, p 146 ).

Bell Labs researcher Frank Gray introduced the term reflected binary code in his 1947 patent application, remarking that the code had " as yet no recognized name ".

Two different 1953 patent applications give " Gray code " as an alternative name for the " reflected binary code "; one of those also lists " minimum error code " and " cyclic permutation code " among the names.

A 1954 patent application refers to " the Bell Telephone Gray code ".

Gray is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois and is considered by some writers to be the true inventor of the variable resistance telephone, despite losing out to Alexander Graham Bell for the telephone patent.

In 1867 Gray received a patent for the self-adjusting telegraph relay and in later years he received patents for more than 70 other inventions.

The weekend after Coleman's death a scheduled funeral was postponed and later canceled due to a dispute regarding the disposition of his estate and remains between Coleman's adoptive parents, Price, and former business associate Anna Gray.

Coleman's former manager Dion Mial was involved initially, but withdrew after Coleman's 1999 will, which named Mial as executor and directed that his wake be "... conducted by those with no financial ties to me and can look each other in the eyes and say they really cared personally for Gary Colemen ", turned out to be superseded by a later one replacing Mial with Gray, and directing "... that there be no funeral service, wake, or other ceremony memorializing my passing.

On 12 November 1933, Hugh Gray was walking along the loch after church when he spotted a substantial commotion in the water.

Gray took several pictures of it, but only one of them showed up after they were developed.

The reflected binary code, also known as Gray code after Frank Gray, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit.

The code was later named after Gray by others who used it.

The counter itself must count in Gray code, or if the counter runs in binary then the output value from the counter must be reclocked after it has been converted to Gray code, because when a value is converted from binary to Gray code, it is possible that differences in the arrival times of the binary data bits into the binary-to-Gray conversion circuit will mean that the code could go briefly through states that are wildly out of sequence.

Adding a clocked register after the circuit that converts the count value to Gray code may introduce a clock cycle of latency, so counting directly in Gray code may be advantageous.

Examples include Gopherus agassizii, named by James Graham Cooper after Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz, and Acacia greggii, named by botanist Asa Gray after explorer Josiah Gregg.
