Abstract:
It is often asserted that in 1879 Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) invented the first electric lamp. But this is not so: Edison was only one, however respectable, among many inventors of all kinds of electric lamps and bulbs, which were more or less functional and practical. The first electric lamp was actually invented by the Russian Vasilij Petrov (1761-1834), who in 1802 succeeded to produce a persistent electric arc. In 1846 the Opera theater in Paris was illuminated with arc lamps, and this kind of electric lighting reached its peak with the invention of a Yablochkov candle in 1876. The big

Abstract:
Introduction. The history of the development of photomedicine over the past one and a half years is directly related to the history of the development of artificial light sources. And the medical direction of using these sources, as befits the light, has always been extremely bright. The purpose of this study was to familiarize doctors, scientists, engineers working in the field of photomedicine, with the creators of artificial sources of the light that is used for the rehabilitation, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the most common human diseases.

Abstract:
Using the papers of Thomas Edison as a historic source, this dissertation examines the relationship between failure and the creation of innovative (i.e. novel) artefacts. Case studies used include Edison's invention of the carbon microphone and Phonograph, and his claim to have discovered a new force of nature. The dissertation combines historical analysis with the development of a number of theoretical models to argue for new approaches to success and failure, artefacts, innovation and systems.

Abstract:
Depuis l’invention en 1877 du phonographe par Edison, il est devenu possible d'archiver ce qui jusqu'alors échappait à toute objectivation : les sons du dehors. Grâce à l'appareil technique, le son devient, sous sa forme enregistrée, un document, une trace, un témoignage du réel. À partir d’un choix d'exemples très divers empruntés à la musique contemporaine et à l'art sonore (Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Luigi Nono, Steve Reich, Luc Ferrari…), le présent travail étudie les conséquences de cette mutation sur le plan de l'esthétique musicale. Le document sonore est abordé comme "corps étranger" au s

Abstract:
Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness in The Man in the White Suit) knows exactly what he wants to make. He just doesn’t know how to make it. So, he engages in a trial-and-error search for the right conditions to create his nonstaining fiber. Every time he makes a new trial, however, he sets off an explosion. As the Birnley Mills building crumbles around him, he tries, tries, and tries again. Like Stratton, most movie inventors create oxymoronic products such as rechargeable batteries, flexible glass, bulletproof tires, and water-repellent hairsprays. Movie inventors are very closely associated with
