SUBJECT AREA: Architecture and building

[br]

[br]

[br]

During the 1890s Behrens, as an artist, was a member of the German branch of Sezessionismus and then moved towards Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) types of design in different media. His interest in architecture was aroused during the first years of the twentieth century, and a turning-point in his career was his appointment in 1907 as Artistic Supervisor and Consultant to AEG, the great Berlin electrical firm. His Turbine Factory (1909) in the city was a breakthrough in design and is still standing: in steel and glass, with visible girder construction, this is a truly functional modern building far ahead of its time. In 1910 two more of Behrens's factories were completed in Berlin, followed in 1913 by the great AEG plant at Riga, Latvia.

After the First World War Behrens was in great demand for industrial construction. He designed office schemes such as those at the Mannesmann Steel Works in Dusseldorf (1911–12; now destroyed) and, in a departure from his earlier work, was responsible for a more Expressionist form of design, mainly in brick, in his extensive complex for I.G.Farben at Höchst (1920–4).

In the years before the First World War, some of those who were later amongst the most famous names in modern architecture were among his pupils: Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier (Charles-Edouard Jeanneret).

In the last decade of the nineteenth century and in the first of the twentieth, Poelzig did not, like most of his colleagues in Germany and Austria, follow the Jugendstil theme or the eclectic or fundamentalist lines: he set a path to individualism. In 1898 he began a teaching career at the Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) Academy of Arts and Crafts, remaining there until 1916. He early introduced workshop practice into the curriculum, presaging Gropius's Bauhaus ideas by many years; the school's workshop produced much of the artisan needs for a number of his buildings. From Breslau Poelzig moved to Dresden, where he was appointed City Architect. It was there that he launched his Expressionist line: which was particularly evident in the town hall and concert hall in the city. The structure for which Poelzig is best known and with which his name will always be associated is the Großes Schauspielhaus in Berlin; he had returned to his native city after the First World War and this great theatre was his first commission there. Using modern materials, he created a fabulous interior to seat 5,000 spectators. It was in the form of a vast amphitheatre with projecting stage and with the curving area roofed by a cavernous, stalactited dome, the Arabic-style stalactites of which were utilized by Poelzig for acoustic purposes. In the 1920s Poelzig went on to design cinemas, a field for which Expressionism was especially suited; these included the Capitol Cinema in Berlin and the Deli in Breslau. For his later industrial commissions—for example, the administrative building for the chemical firm I.G.Far ben in Frankfurt—he had perforce to design in more traditional modern manner.

Poelzig died in 1936, which spared him, unlike many of his contemporaries, the choice of emigrating or working for National Socialism.

A year after he began practice as an architect, Gropius was responsible for the pace-setting Fagus shoe-last factory at Alfeld-an-der-Leine in Germany, one of the few of his buildings to survive the Second World War. Today the building does not appear unusual, but in 1911 it was a revolutionary prototype, heralding the glass curtain walled method of non-load-bearing cladding that later became ubiquitous. Made from glass, steel and reinforced concrete, this factory initiated a new concept, that of the International school of modern architecture.

In 1919 Gropius was appointed to head the new School of Art and Design at Weimar, the Staatliches Bauhaus. The school had been formed by an amalgamation of the Grand Ducal schools of fine and applied arts founded in 1906. Here Gropius put into practice his strongly held views and he was so successful that this small college, which trained only a few hundred students in the limited years of its existence, became world famous, attracting artists, architects and students of quality from all over Europe.

Gropius's idea was to set up an institution where students of all the arts and crafts could work together and learn from one another. He abhorred the artificial barriers that had come to exist between artists and craftsmen and saw them all as interdependent. He felt that manual dexterity was as essential as creative design. Every Bauhaus student, whatever the individual's field of work or talent, took the same original workshop training. When qualified they were able to understand and supervise all the aesthetic and constructional processes that made up the scope of their work.

In 1924, because of political changes, the Weimar Bauhaus was closed, but Gropius was invited to go to Dessau to re-establish it in a new purpose-built school which he designed. This group of buildings became a prototype that designers of the new architectural form emulated. Gropius left the Bauhaus in 1928, only a few years before it was finally closed due to the growth of National Socialism. He moved to England in 1934, but because of a lack of architectural opportunities and encouragement he continued on his way to the USA, where he headed the Department of Architecture at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design from 1937 to 1952. After his retirement from there Gropius formed the Architect's Collaborative and, working with other architects such as Marcel Breuer and Pietro Belluschi, designed a number of buildings (for example, the US Embassy in Athens (1960) and the Pan Am Building in New York (1963)).

Oskar Barnack was an optical engineer, introspective and in poor health, when in 1910 he was invited through the good offices of his friend the mechanical engineer Emil Mechau, who worked for Ernst Leitz, to join the company at Wetzlar to work on research into microscope design. He was engaged after a week's trial, and on 2 January 1911 he was put in charge of microscope research. He was an enthusiastic photographer, but excursions with his large and heavy plate camera equipment taxed his strength. In 1912, Mechau was working on a revolutionary film projector design and needed film to test it. Barnack suggested that it was not necessary to buy an expensive commercial machine— why not make one? Leitz agreed, and Barnack constructed a 35 mm movie camera, which he used to cover events in and around Wetzlar.

The exposure problems he encountered with the variable sensitivity of the cine film led him to consider the design of a still camera in which short lengths of film could be tested before shooting—a kind of exposure-meter camera. Dissatisfied with the poor picture quality of his first model, which took the standard cine frame of 18×24 mm, he built a new model in which the frame size was doubled to 36×24 mm. It used a simple focal-plane shutter adjustable to 1/500 of a second, and a Zeiss Milar lens of 42 mm focal length. This is what is now known as the UR-Leica. Using his new camera, 1/250 of the weight of his plate equipment, Barnack made many photographs around Wetzlar, giving postcard-sized prints of good quality.

Ernst Leitz Junior was lent the camera for his trip in June 1914 to America, where he was urged to put it into production. Visiting George Eastman in Rochester, Leitz passed on Barnack's requests for film of finer grain and better quality. The First World War put an end to the chances of developing the design at that time. As Germany emerged from the postwar chaos, Leitz Junior, then in charge of the firm, took Barnack off microscope work to design prototypes for a commercial model. Leitz's Chief Optician, Max Berek, designed a new lens, the f3.5 Elmax, for the new camera. They settled on the name Leica, and the first production models went on show at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1925. By the end of the year, 1,000 cameras had been shipped, despite costing about two months' good wages.

The Leica camera established 35 mm still photography as a practical proposition, and film manufacturers began to create the special fine-grain films that Barnack had longed for. He continued to improve the design, and a succession of new Leica models appeared with new features, such as interchangeable lenses, coupled range-finders, 250 exposures. By the time of his sudden death in 1936, Barnack's life's work had forever transformed the nature of photography.

Breuer began his student days following an art course in Vienna, but joined the Bauhaus at Weimar, where he later graduated, in 1920. When Gropius re-established the school in purpose-built structures at Dessau, Breuer became a member of the teaching staff in charge of the carpentry and furniture workshops. Much of his time there was spent in design and research into new materials being applied to furniture and interior decoration. The essence of his contribution was to relate the design of furniture to industrial production; in this field he developed the tubular-steel structure, especially in chair design, and experimented with aluminium as a furniture material as well as pieces of furniture made up from modular units. His furniture style was characterized by an elegance of line and a careful avoidance of superfluous detail. By 1926 he had furnished the Bauhaus with such furniture in chromium-plated steel, and two years later had developed a cantilevered chair.

Breuer left the Bauhaus in 1928 and set up an architectural practice in Berlin. In the early 1930s he also spent some time in Switzerland. Notable from these years was his Harnischmacher Haus in Wiesbaden and his apartment buildings in the Dolderthal area of Zurich. His architectural work was at first influenced by constructivism, and then by that of Le Corbusier (see Charles-Edouard Jeanneret). In 1935 he moved to England, where in partnership with F.R.S. Yorke he built some houses and continued to practise furniture design. The Isokon Furniture Co. commissioned him to develop ideas that took advantage of the new bending and moulding processes in laminated wood, one result being his much-copied reclining chair.

In 1937, like so many of the European architectural refugees from Nazism, he found himself under-occupied due to the reluctance of English clients to embrace the modern architectural movement. He went to the United States at Gropius's invitation to join him as a professor at Harvard. Breuer and Gropius were influential in training a new generation of American architects, and in particular they built a number of houses. This partnership ended in 1941 and Breuer set up practice in New York. His style of work from this time on was still modern, but became more varied. In housing, he adapted his style to American needs and used local materials in a functional manner. In the Whitney Museum (1966) he worked in a sculptural, granite-clad style. Often he utilized a bold reinforced-concrete form, as in his collaboration with Pier Luigi Nervi and Bernard Zehrfuss in the Paris UNESCO Building (1953–8) and the US Embassy in the Hague (1954–8). He displayed his masterly handling of poured concrete used in a strikingly expressionistic, sculptural manner in his St John's Abbey (1953–61) in Collegeville, Minnesota, and in 1973 his Church of St Francis de Sale in Michigan won him the top award of the American Institute of Architects.

The son of a commercial photographer, Anschütz entered the business in 1868 and developed an interest in the process of instantaneous photography. The process was very difficult with the contemporary wet-plate process, but with the introduction of the much faster dry plates in the late 1870s he was able to make progress. Anschütz designed a focal plane shutter capable of operating at speeds up to 1/1000 of a second in 1883, and patented his design in 1888. it involved a vertically moving fabric roller-blind that worked at a fixed tension but had a slit the width of which could be adjusted to alter the exposure time. This design was adopted by C.P.Goerz, who from 1890 manufactures a number of cameras that incorporated it.

Anschütz's action pictures of flying birds and animals attracted the attention of the Prussian authorities, and in 1886 the Chamber of Deputies authorized financial support for him to continue his work, which had started at the Hanover Military Institute in October 1885. Inspired by the work of Eadweard Muybridge in America, Anschütz had set up rows of cameras whose focal-plane shutters were released in sequence by electromagnets, taking twenty-four pictures in about three-quarters of a second. He made a large number of studies of the actions of people, animals and birds, and at the Krupp artillery range at Meppen, near Essen, he recorded shells in flight. His pictures were reproduced, and favourably commented upon, in scientific and photographic journals.

To bring the pictures to the public, in 1887 he created the Electro-Tachyscope. The sequence negatives were printed as 90 x 120 mm transparencies and fixed around the circumference of a large steel disc. This was rotated in front of a spirally wound Geissler tube, which produced a momentary brilliant flash of light when a high voltage from an induction coil was applied to it, triggered by contacts on the steel disc. The flash duration, about 1/1000 of a second, was so short that it "froze" each picture as it passed the tube. The pictures succeeded each other at intervals of about 1/30 of a second, and the observer saw an apparently continuously lit moving picture. The Electro-Tachyscope was shown publicly in Berlin at the Kulturministerium from 19 to 21 March 1887; subsequently Siemens \& Halske manufactured 100 machines, which were shown throughout Europe and America in the early 1890s. From 1891 his pictures were available for the home in the form of the Tachyscope viewer, which used the principle of the zoetrope: sequence photographs were printed on long strips of thin card, perforated with narrow slots between the pictures. Placed around the circumference of a shallow cylinder and rotated, the pictures could be seen in life-like movement when viewed through the slots.

In November 1894 Anschütz displayed a projector using two picture discs with twelve images each, which through a form of Maltese cross movement were rotated intermittently and alternately while a rotating shutter allowed each picture to blend with the next so that no flicker occurred. The first public shows, given in Berlin, were on a screen 6×8 m (20×26 ft) in size. From 22 February 1895 they were shown regularly to audiences of 300 in a building on the Leipzigstrasse; they were the first projected motion pictures seen in Germany.

Kapp entered the Polytechnic School in Zurich in 1869 and gained a mechanical engineering diploma. He became a member of the engineering staff at the Vienna International Exhibition of 1873, and then spent some time in the Austrian navy before entering the service of Gwynne \& Co. of London, where he designed centrifugal pumps and gas exhausters. Kapp resolved to become an electrical engineer after a visit to the Paris Electrical Exhibition of 1881 and in the following year was appointed Manager of the Crompton Co. works at Chelmsford. There he developed and patented the dynamo with compound field winding. Also at that time, with Crompton, he patented electrical measuring instruments with over-saturated electromagnets. He became a naturalized British subject in 1881.

In 1886 Kapp's most influential paper was published. This described his concept of the magnetic circuit, providing for the first time a sound theoretical basis for dynamo design. The theory was also developed independently by J. Hopkinson. After commencing practice as a consulting engineer in 1884 he carried out design work on dynamos and also electricity-supply and -traction schemes in Germany, Italy, Norway, Russia and Switzerland. From 1891 to 1894 much of his time was spent designing a new generating station in Bristol, officially as Assistant to W.H. Preece. There followed an appointment in Germany as General Secretary of the Verband Deutscher Electrotechniker. For some years he edited the Electrotechnische Zeitschrift and was also a part-time lecturer at the Charlottenberg Technical High School in Berlin. In 1904 Kapp was invited to accept the new Chair of Electrical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, which he occupied until 1919. He was the author of several books on electrical machine and transformer design.

Mies van der Rohe was the son of a stonemason and his early constructional training came from his father. As a young man he gained experience of the modern school from study of the architecture of the earlier leaders, notably Peter Behrens, Hendrik Berlage and Frank Lloyd Wright. He commenced architectural practice in 1913 and soon after the First World War was establishing his own version of modern architecture. His building materials were always of the highest quality, of marble, stone, glass and, especially, steel. He stripped his designs of all extraneous decoration: more than any of his contemporaries he followed the theme of elegance, functionalism and an ascetic concentration on essentials. He believed that architectural design should not look backwards but should reflect the contemporary achievement of advanced technology in both its construction and the materials used, and he began early in his career to act upon these beliefs. Typical was his early concrete and glass office building of 1922, after which, more importantly, came his designs for the German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exposition of 1929. These designs included his famous Barcelona chair, made from chrome steel and leather in a geometrical design, one which has survived as a classic and is still in production. Another milestone was his Tugendhat House in Brno (1930), a long, low, rectilinear structure in glass and steel that set a pattern for many later buildings of this type. In 1930 Mies followed his colleagues as third Director of the Bauhaus, but due to the rise of National Socialism in Germany it was closed in 1933. He finally left Germany for the USA in 1937, and the following year he took up his post as Director of Architecture in Chicago at what is now known as the Illinois Institute of Technology and where he remained for twenty years. In America Mies van der Rohe continued to develop his work upon his original thesis. His buildings are always recognizable for their elegance, fine proportions, high-quality materials and clean, geometrical forms; nearly all are of glass and steel in rectangular shapes. The structure and design evolved according to the individual needs of each commission, and there were three fundamental types of design. One type was the single or grouped high-rise tower, built for apartments for the wealthy, as in his Lake Shore Drive Apartments in Chicago (1948–51), or for city-centre offices, as in his Seagram Building in New York (1954–8, with Philip Johnson) or his Chicago Federal Centre (1964). Another form was the long, low rectangle based upon the earlier Tugendhat House and seen again in the New National Gallery in Berlin (1965–8). Third, there were the grouped schemes when the commission called for buildings of varied purpose on a single, large site. Here Mies van der Rohe achieved a variety and interest in the different shapes and heights of buildings set out in spatial harmony of landscape. Some examples of this type of scheme were housing estates (Lafayette Park Housing Development in Detroit, 1955–6), while others were for educational, commercial or shopping requirements, as at the Toronto Dominion Centre (1963–9).

Zuse grew up in Braunsberg, then in East Prussia, and attended the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg to study civil engineering. In 1934 he became interested in calculatingmachines and the pursuit of a career in aeronautical engineering. Two years later, having taken a post as a statistician, in his spare time he built a mechanical computer, which he called Z1; for this he used two-state mechanical switches and punched-tape for the program input. This was followed by the design for Z2, which used electromechanical relays.

Called to military service in 1939, he was soon sent to the Henschel aircraft factory, where he completed Z2. Between 1939 and 1941 the German Aeronautical Research Institute supported his development of Z3, which used 2,600 relays and a keyboard input. Taken into immediate use by the aircraft industry, both it and its predecessors were destroyed in air raids. Z4, completed towards the end of the war and using mechanical memory, survived, and with improvements was used in Switzerland until 1960. Other achievements by Zuse included a machine to perform logical calculations (LI) and his Plankalkul, one of the first computer languages. In 1950, with two friends, he formed the Zuse KG company near Bad Hersfeld, Essen, and his first Z5 relay computer was sold to Leitz in 1952. A series of machines followed, a milestone in 1958 being the first transistorized machine, Z22, of which over 200 were made. Finally, in 1969, the company was absorbed by Siemens AG and Zuse returned to scientific research.

Between 1911 and 1914 Heinrich Focke and Georg Wulf built a monoplane and some years later, in 1924, they founded the Focke-Wulf company. They designed and built a variety of civil and military aircraft including the F 19Ente, a tail-first design of 1927. This canard layout was thought to be safer than conventional designs but, unfortunately, it crashed, killing Wulf. Around 1930 Focke became interested in rotary-wing aircraft, and in 1931 he set up a company with Gerd Achgelis to conduct research in this field. The Focke-Wulf company took out a licence to build Cierva autogiros. Focke designed an improved autogiro, the Fw 186, which flew in 1938; it was entered for a military competition, but it was beaten by a fixed-wing aircraft, the Fieseler Storch. In May 1935 Focke resigned from Focke-Wulf to concentrate on helicopter development with the Focke-Achgelis company. His first design was the Fa 61 helicopter, which utilized the fuselage and engine of a conventional aeroplane but instead of wings had two out-riggers, each carrying a rotor. The engine drove these rotors in opposite directions to counteract the adverse torque effect (with a single rotor the fuselage tends to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotor). Following its first flight on 26 June 1936, the Fa 61 went on to break several world records. However, it attracted more public attention when it was flown inside the huge Deutschlandhalle in Berlin by the famous female test pilot Hanna Reitsch in February 1938. Focke continued to develop his helicopter projects for the Focke-Achgelis company and produced the Fa 223 Drache in 1940. This used twin contra-rotating rotors, like the Fa 61, but could carry six people. Its production was hampered by allied bombing of the factory. During the Second World War Focke- Achgelis also produced a rotor kite which could be towed behind a U-boat to provide a flying "crow's nest", as well as designs for an advanced convertiplane (part aeroplane, part helicopter). After the war, Focke worked in France, the Netherlands and Brazil, then in 1954 he became Professor of Aeroplane and Helicopter Design at the University of Stuttgart.

[këm'pju:të:] n 1. makinë llogaritëse; kompjuter, ordinator. 2. llogaritës, njehsues (person)

- Kompjuteri është pajisje elektronike shumë e ndërlikuar që shërben për regjistrimin, transmetimin dhe përpunimin e informatave që mund të manifestohen si llogaritje, udhëheqje të proceseve, përpunim i tekstit, të dhënave të ndryshme si dhe për përdorime më të përgjithëshme. Kompjuteri, marrë në kuptimin e gjerë, përbëhet prej dy komponentëve të quajtura: harduer ( hardware - pjesë fizike e tij) dhe softuer ( software - programet dhe udhëzimet për punë). Me fjalë tjera, softueri është pjesa programore e hardueri pjesa mekanika e kompjuterit.

● Hardueri përmban komponentet fizike të kompjuterit siç janë: tastiera ( Keyboard), monitori, shtypësi ( Printer), miu ( Mouse), disku i ngurtë ( Hard Disk), njësia e diskut, disketa ( Floppy Disk), njësia e disketës, CD-ROM-i ( CD ROM), njësia e CD-ROM-it, vizatuesi, modemi, lexuesi ( Scanner), kamera digjitale etj.

● Softueri përmbanë programet dhe të dhënat të cilat e udhëzojnë kompjuterin në punën e tij, literatura, dokumentacioni dhe udhëzimet në lidhje me kompjuterin. Hardueri mund të krahasohet me gramafonin e disqet, ndërsa softueri me muzikën e inçizuar në disqe.)

Zhvillimi historik i kompjuterit

- Njeriu gjithmon ka tentuar të zgjidhë edhe problemet monotone, të vështira dhe të papërshtatshme. Gjatë zgjidhjeve të këtyre problemeve ka hasur në punë të vështira fizike, prandaj, çdo here ka tentuar që të liroj veten nga këta punë duke menduar makina të lloj-llojshme. Një makinë e këtyllë për lehtësimin e llogaritjeve aritmetike është makina e quajtur Abacus për të cilën dihet se është në përdorim prej para 5000 vjetëve. Kjo makinë i ngjanë numratores së sotme të cilën e përdorin nxënësit në klasë të pare dhe njihet si zanafilla e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Prej kohës së zbulimit të Abacusit e deri në shekullin 17 historia e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve nuk posedon të dhëna për ndonjë lëvizje në rrugën e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve.

- Gjatë shekullit 17, respektivisht në vitin 1614 matematikani skocez J. Napier zbulon logaritmet dhe në vtin 1622 W. Oughtred ndërton kompjuterin (makinën) logaritmik cirkular për llogaritjen e logaritmeve.

- Në vitin 1649 Blaise Pascal ndërton makinën mekanike për kryerjen e operacioneve aritmetike. Makina e Pascalit është e ndërtuar prej disa dhëmbëzorëve të cilët në lëvizje vendohen mekanikisht (me dorë). Ideja e konstruktimit të një makine-kalkulatori (kalkulator quhet makina e cila kryen operacionet aritmetike) ka qenë lehtësimi i punës së të atit të tij i cili ka qenë puntor i tatimeve (mbledhës i tatimeve) dhe ka patur nevojë për shumë llogaritje.

- Në vitin 1672 G.W. Laibniz në Pariz projekton kalkulatorin mekanik më të përsosur nga dy të parët i cili me sukse do t'i kryej katër operacionet elementare aritmetike. Kufizimi në realizimin konkret të këtij kalkulatori ka qenë teknologjia e dobët e asaj kohe prandaj ky projekt ka ngelur i pa realizuar. Është interesant të përmendet se Laibnitz ka qenë pioneri i parë në hulumtimin e sistemit binar i cili përdoret në ndërtimin e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Gjatë 150

viteve në vazhdim të gjithë tentimet për zhvillimin e kalkulatorëve kanë qenë të inspiruar nga kalkulatori i Laibnitzit.

- Në vitin 1822 Anglezi Charles Babbage paraqet projekt të një kalkulatori krejtësisht të ndryshëm i dedikuar për llogaritjen e tabelave për funksione të caktuara. Projekti i këtillë do të finansoheshe nga qeveria Angleze e asaj kohe dhe do të përdoreshe për llogaritjen e tabelave për navigacionin detar. Për shkak të kompleksitetit dhe kushteve financiare e teknologjike ky projekt nuk u krye, në vitin 1842 definitivisht projekti u ndërpre. Makinën e këtillë Babbage e quajti makina diferenciale. Projektin e makinës diferenciale me sukse e realizuan Suedezët në vitin 1854 nën udhëheqen e P. G. Scheutza (duke i zbatuar sqarimet dhe vërejtjet e dhëna nga Babbage në 7000 faqe të shkruara) dhe makina e fituar nën pogon mekanik me sukse i llogariti tabelat (për 80 orë ka logarit 10000 logaritme).

- Në vitin 1835 Babbage erdhi në idenë e konstruktimit të një makine programabile me funksionet që i kanë kompjuterët e tanishëm (me njësinë aritmetike-logjike, memorjen, etj.). Makinën e këtillë e quajti makina analitike. Për shkak të krizave finaciare dhe të vështirësive teknologjike kjo makinë ngeli vetëm në fazën e projektimit në letër por dha një inpuls të fuqishëm në zhvillimin e kompjuterëve të mëtutjeshëm.

- Koha moderne fillon me përdorimin e energjisë elektrike në makinat për llogaritje. Në vitin 1884 emigranti gjerman në Amerikë Herman Holerith patenton makinën e pare elektrike e cila do të mund të rendit (sortoj) kartelat e shpuara me të dhënat për banorët e Amerikës. Makina e Holerithit në lëvizje vendoheshte me ndihmën e baterive. Qëllimi i kësaj makine ishte renditja e kartelave me të dhënat e banorëve të Amerikës të regjistruar në vitin 1890. Holerithi ishte inzhenier dhe punonte në institutin e statistikës, problem në atë kohë ishte përpunimi statistikor i të dhënave. Kështu regjistrimi statistikor në teren zgjatë disa muaj ndërsa përpunimi zgjate disa vjetë por bile edhe dhjetra vjetë dhe kur të dhënat përpunoheshin rezultatet e fituara ishin të vjetëruara (sepse regjistrimi statistikor zakonisht bëhet çdo 10 vjetë). Qeveria e asaj kohe shpall konkurs për përpunimin automatik të të dhënave me qëllim të përshpejtimit të përpunimit. Holerithi pasi punonte në institutin ku bëheshte përpunimi i të dhënave të këtylla, e njihte problemin dhe për këtë qëllim patentoi makinën e tij. Kështu me ndihmën e 56 makinave të Holerithit u aritë që të dhënat statistikore për popullsinë e Amerikës të përpunohen vetëm për gjashtë javë (në atë regjistrim Amerika doli me 62 622 250 banorë).

- Pas këtij suksesi Holerithi themeloi kompaninë për prodhimin dhe huazimin e këtyre makinave (makina quheshe Tabulating Machine) me emrin Tabulating Machine Company e cila në vitin 1924 u bashkua me disa kompani të tjera dhe ndëroi emrin në IBM (International Business Machines), e njohur edhe sot.

- Në vitin 1936 gjermani K. Zuse në Berlin arrinë të konstruktoj kalkulatorin programabil i cili do të mund të zgjidhë barazimet lineare. Zuse ariti të konstruktoj makinën e pare e cila shfrytëzonte sistemin binar, këtë makinë e konstriktoi në katër modele të njëpasnjëshëm Z1, Z2, Z3 dhe Z4, por modeli Z4 ngeli vetëm si ide interesante.

- Me fillimin e luftës së dytë botërore interesimi për makina llogaritëse (kompjuterë) u zvoglua dhe gjithnjë mendohej në përmirësimin e armatimit. Mirëpo për prodhimin e armëve të reja artilerike nevoitej një hulumtin më i thellë dhe llogaritje të vështira, për hulumtime dhe llogaritje të thella nevoiteshe kohë e cila mungonte. Në vitin 1942 Fakulteti Moore School of Electrical Engineering nga Universiteti i Pensilvanisë bashkë me institutin Ballistic Research Laboratory nga armata Amerikane filloi hulumtimet për një makinë-kompjuter i cili do t'u lehtësonte punën puntorëve në industrinë ushtarake për prodhimin e armatimit artilerik respektivisht do të llogaritë tabelat balistike. Projekti deri në 1943 ishte në fshehtësi. Në vitin 1943 filloi ndërtimin nën udhëheqjen e udhëheqësve të projektit John W. Mauchly dhe J. Presper Eckert. Kompjuteri i menduar u quajt ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) dhe në përdorim u lëshua më 15 Shkurt 1946. Kompjuteri ENIAC meret si kompjuteri i parë i formës dhe me funksionet e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Me konstruktimin e ENIAC-ut fillon edhe gjenerata e parë e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve. Vlenë të përmendet se idenë për ndërtimin e kompjuterit të këtillë (në vitin 1930) e dha matematicienti John V. Atanasoff i cili në atë kohë punonte me kompjuterët analog për zgjidhjen e barazimeve lineare në lëminë e kërkimeve operacionale si dhe matematikani i shekullit 20 John von Neuman i cili ariti që teoretikisht ta përpunojë idenë dhe të bëjë sistematizimin e idesë.

- Kompjuteri ENIAC përmbante afër 18000 llëmba elektronike, peshonte afër 30 tonë, zënte sipërfaqe prej 150 m2.

- Kompjuterët e prodhuar prej vitit 1946 deri 1953 (kompjuterët EDVAC, ILLIAC, MANIAC etj.), njihen si gjenerata e parë dhe karakterizohen me llëmbat elektronike.

- Me zbulimin e tranzistorit fillon gjenerata e dytë, kjo gjenerat zgjat prej vitit 1953 deri 1964. Tek kompjuterët e gjeneratës së dytë fillon zbatimi i gjuhëve të larta programore (Fortran-i paraqitet në vitin 1957, Algol në vitin 1961, etj.)

- Gjenerata e tretë e kompjuterëve fillon në vitin 1964 dhe vazhdon deri në vitin 1971, kompjuterat e konstruktuar në këtë periudhë karakterisohen me qarqet e integruara-çipat.

- Gjenerata e katër e kompjuterëve fillon në vitin 1971, kompjuterët e kësaj gjenerate karakterizohen me qarqet integrale të dendësisë së madhe LSI dhe VLSI (V-very). Gjenerata e katër e kompjuterëve ende është e hapur, PC kompjuterët e sotëm i takojnë gjeneratës së katër.

- Për dallim nga katër gjeneratat e para kompjuterët e të cilave bëjnë përpunimin e të dhënave, kompjuterët e gjeneratës pestë e cila fillon në vitin 1981 bëjnë përpunimin e njohurive. Në këtë gjeneratë bien makinat e quajtura Robot.

- Kompjuterët e gjeneratës së gjashtë (njëherit gjenerata e fundit e kompjuterëve) e cila fillon në vitin 1986 merren me përpunimin e inteligjencës. Kompjuterët e kësaj gjenerate quhen Neurocomputers (Kompjuterët neural, Kompjuterët biologjik) të cilët në punën e tyre tentojnë të imitojnë trurin dhe sistemin nervorë të njeriut. Këta kompjuterë në fillim të jetës mësojnë (me metoda speciale eksperimentale) dhe pastaj janë në gjendje të veprojnë pa prezencën dhe ndikimin e njeriut.

PJESA PROGRAMORE E KOMPJUTERIT-SOFTUERI

Sistemi operativ

- Programet, asemblerët dhe kompajlerët ekzekutohen në kompjuter, në praninë e një mjedisi të caktuar programues. Këtë mjedis programues e përcakton sistemi operativ. Sistemi operativ është një grumbull i programeve i cili manipulon me resurset dhe shërbimet e sistemit kompjuterik (harduerit), siç janë memoria qëndrore, njësitë hyrëse-dalëse, etj. Pra sistemi operativ e komandon (manipulon) me hardverin e sistemit kompjuterik. Programi, në mënyrë implicite apo eksplicite, vetëm përmes direktivave të sistemit operativ mund t'i shfrytëzojë resurset dhe shërbimet e sistemit kompjuterik. Pra programi e urdhëron apo kërkon nga sistemi operativ shfrytëzimin e resurseve kompjuterike.

- Nga kjo që u tha më sipër shihet se programet të cilat i shkruajmë (programeve aplikative) në gjuhët larta programuese, nuk e komandojnë harduerin, por i dërgojnë komanda sistemit operativ, i cili më pastaj manipulon me harduer për të arritur te rezultatet e dëshiruara. Kjo do të thotë se sistemi operativ është një lloj ndërmjetësuesi (interfejs) në mes të programeve aplikative dhe harduerit kompjuterik.

- Roli kryesor i sistemit operativ është të shërbej si ndërmjetësues në mes të shfrytëzuesit dhe hardverit kompjuterik, dhe në mes të programeve aplikative dhe hardverit kompjuterik.

- Ekzistojnë sisteme të ndryshme operative, mirëpo më të njohurat në PC janë MS-DOS dhe MS WINDOWS 95.

- MS-DOS ( MicroSoft Disk Operating System), që do të thotë sistemi operativ i diskut i majkrosoftit. Nga këndi i vështrimit të programerit MS-DOS është sistem operativ hierarkial, që përmbanë tri nivele (shtresa), të cilat e ndajnë shfrytëzuesin dhe programet aplikative prej hardverit kompjuterik. Këto shtresa janë BIOS ( Basic Input-Output System që do të thotë sistemi themelor për hyrje-dalje), kerneli i DOS-it, dhe interpretuesi i komandave. Shtresa më e ulët është BIOS-i. BIOS-i kryesisht manipulon me këto njësi hardverike:

● Konzolla (tastatiera dhe ekrani);

● Printed i përgjithshëm;

● Portet serike;

● Orën e taktit të kompjuterit;

● Diskun startues.

- Kerneli i DOS-it, përveq tjerash, ofron shërbimet për:

● Manipulimin e folderëve dhe fajllave;

● Manipulimin e memories qëndrore;

● Kohën dhe datën;

● Menagjmentin e programeve aplikative.

- Interpretuesi i komandave ka për detyrë që të ekzekutojë komandat të cilat ia jep shfrytëzuesi, duke kyçur edhe leximin dhe ekzekutimin e programeve aplikative.

- Edhe pse Windows është paraqitur në mes të viteve 1980, nuk pati ndonjë sukses të madh në treg. Mirëpo me lansimin e verzionit Windows 3.0 më 1990, e sidomos me Windows 3.1 një vit më vonë e gjithë kjo ndryshoi, dhe tani Windows është produkt softverik i dyti më i shituri i të gjitha kohrave, pas MS DOS-it (e sidomos me lajmërimin e Windows 95/98).

Windows punon se bashku me DOS-in por sillet si sistem operativ në vehte. Duke i shtuar nivel softverik mbi DOS, Windows-i i shton zgjerime grafike DOS-it.

- Popullariteti i Windows-it i ka shtyer shumë programerë dhe shtëpi softverike botuese që të zhvillojnë aplikacione të cilat janë vetëm për Windows. Të gjitha këto aplikacione kanë një pamje të përgjithshme të ngjashme. Nëse dini të drejtoni një strukturë të menysë në një aplikacion të Windows-it atëherë dini të bëni të njejtën gjë edhe në aplikacionet tjera.

- Përparësitë kryesore të Windows-it janë:

● Platformë multitasking, në të cilën shumë aplikacione mund të ekzekutohen në të njejtën kohë.

● Pamje gjenerale e ngjashme e të gjitha aplikacioneve të shkruara për Windows.

● Mjedis grafik, i cili manipulohet me ndihmën e miut (apo tastierës).

● Mundësia e shkëmbimit të informatave - duke përfshirë fotografi, dokumente, etj. ndërmjet aplikacioneve të ndryshme.

● Një numër të veglave ndihmëse, duke përfshirë editor të tekstit, program per vizatim, kalkulator, program komunikues për modem, etj.

Wöhler, the son of a schoolteacher, was born at Soltau on the Luneburg Heath and received his early education at his father's school, where his mathematical abilities soon became apparent. He completed his studies at the Technical High School, Hannover.

In 1840 he obtained a position at the Borsig Engineering Works in Berlin and acquired there much valuable experience in railway technology. He trained as an engine driver in Belgium and in 1843 was appointed as an engineer to the first Hannoverian Railway, then being constructed between Hannover and Lehrte. In 1847 he became Chief Superintendent of rolling stock on the Lower Silesian-Brandenhurg Railway, where his technical abilities influenced the Prussian Minister of Commerce to appoint him to a commission set up to investigate the reasons for the unusually high incidence of axle failures then being encountered on the railways. This was in 1852, and by 1854, when the Brandenburg line had been nationalized, Wöhler had already embarked on the long, systematic programme of mechanical testing which eventually provided him with a clear insight into the process of what is now referred to as "fatigue failure". He concentrated initially on the behaviour of machined iron and steel specimens subjected to fluctuating direct, bending and torsional stresses that were imposed by testing machines of his own design.

Although Wöhler was not the first investigator in this area, he was the first to recognize the state of "fatigue" induced in metals by the repeated application of cycles of stress at levels well below those that would cause immediate failure. His method of plotting the fatigue stress amplitude "S" against the number of stress cycles necessary to cause failure "N" yielded the well-known S-N curve which described very precisely the susceptibility to fatigue failure of the material concerned. Engineers were thus provided with an invaluable testing technique that is still widely used in the 1990s.

Between 1851 and 1898 Wöhler published forty-two papers in German technical journals, although the importance of his work was not initially fully appreciated in other countries. A display of some of his fracture fatigue specimens at the Paris Exposition in 1867, however, stimulated a short review of his work in Engineering in London. Four years later, in 1871, Engineering published a series of nine articles which described Wöhler's findings in considerable detail and brought them to the attention of engineers. Wöhler became a member of the newly created management board of the Imperial German Railways in 1874, an appointment that he retained until 1889. He is also remembered for his derivation in 1855 of a formula for calculating the deflections under load of lattice girders, plate girders, and other continuous beams resting on more than two supports. This "Three Moments" theorem appeared two years before Clapeyron independently advanced the same expression. Wöhler's other major contribution to bridge design was to use rollers at one end to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

After completing his early education in Weimar, Zeiss became an apprentice to the engineer Dr Frederick Koerner. As part of his training, Zeiss was required to travel widely and he visited Vienna, Berlin, Stuttgart and Darmstadt to study his trade. In 1846 he set up a business of his own, an optical workshop in Jena, where he began manufacturing magnifying glasses and microscopes. Much of his work was naturally for the university there and he had the co-operation of some of the University staff in the development of precision instruments. By 1858 he was seeking to make more expensive compound microscopes, but he found the current techniques primitive and laborious. He decided that it was necessary to introduce scientific method to the design of the optics, and in 1866 he sought the advice of a professor of physics at the University of Jena, Ernst Abbe (1840–1905). It took Zeiss until 1869 to persuade Abbe to join his company, and two difficult years were spent working on the calculations before success was achieved. Within a few more years the Zeiss microscope had earned a worldwide reputation for quality. Abbe became a full partner in the Zeiss business in 1875. In 1880 Abbe began an association with Friedrich Otte Schott that was to lead to the establishment of the famous Jena glass works in 1884. With the support of the German government, Jena was to become the centre of world production of new optical glasses for photographic objectives.

In 1886 the distinguished mathematician and optician Paul Rudolph joined Zeiss at Jena. After Zeiss's death, Rudolph went on to use the characteristics of the new glass to calculate the first anastigmatic lenses. Immediately successful and widely imitated, the anastigmats were also the first of a long series of Zeiss photographic objectives that were to be at the forefront of lens design for years to come. Abbe took over the management of the company and developed it into an internationally famous organization.
