26 disque dur
Le disque dur d’un ordinateur est composé d’un ou plusieurs disques magnétiques permettant de stocker les différents fichiers: fichiers du système d’exploitation, fichiers d’applications et fichiers de données. Le premier disque dur est fabriqué en 1956 pour un ordinateur d’IBM (International Business Machines), avec une capacité de 5 Mo (mégaoctets) et un poids total (disque dur et ordinateur) d’une tonne. Cette capacité de stockage est en augmentation régulière au fil des ans, sur des disques magnétiques de plus en plus petits, vu les besoins croissants des entreprises pour archiver leurs données et les besoins croissants des particuliers pour stocker leurs photos et leur vidéos. En 2006, la capacité maximale d’un disque dur est de 750 Go (gigaoctets). En 2007, des fabricants comptent proposer des disques durs de 1 To (téraoctet), à savoir 1.000 Go. -
27 Intel
Fondée en 1971, la société Intel est le leader mondial des microprocesseurs, les autres "grands" du marché étant AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) et IBM (International Business Machines). Intel est notamment l’auteur des processeurs Celeron (gamme 300), Pentium 4 (gamme 500), Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (gamme 700) et Centrino. Le processeur Centrino permet la connexion sans fil à l’internet dans un rayon de quelques mètres, en intégrant à l’ordinateur un processeur Pentium-M (adapté à la mobilité, et plus économique en énergie que le Pentium classique), un jeu de composants associés et un module WiFi (wireless fidelity). En avril 2005, Intel lance sa première puce adaptée à la technologie WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access), qui permet l’accès sans fil à l’internet dans un rayon beaucoup plus large (plusieurs kilomètres). En janvier 2006, avec l’évolution entraînée par l’utilisation du Mac OS X (OS: operating system), le système d’exploitation du Macintosh lancé en 2004, Intel devient le nouveau partenaire d’Apple (avec le microprocesseur x86) pour ses ordinateurs Mac, au lieu d’IBM et Motorola. -

38 Case, Jerome Increase
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. 1819 Williamstown, Oswego County, New York, USAd. 1891 USA[br]American manufacturer and founder of the Case company of agricultural engineers.[br]J.I.Case was the son of a former and began his working life operating the family's Groundhog threshing machine. He moved into contract threshing, and used the money he earned to pay his way through a business academy. He became the agent for the Groundhog thresher in his area and at the age of 23 decided to move west, taking six machines with him. He sold five of these to obtain working capital, and in 1842 moved from Williamstown, New York, to Rochester, Wisconsin, where he established his manufacturing company. He produced the first combined thresher-winnower in the US in 1843. Two years later he moved to Racine, on the shores of Lake Michigan in the same state. Within four years the Case company became Racine's biggest company and largest employer, a position it was to retain into the twentieth century. As early as 1860 Case was shipping threshing machines around the Horn to California.Apart from having practical expertise Case was also a skilled demonstrator, and it was this combination which resulted in the sure growth of his company. In 1869 he produced his first portable steam engine and in 1876 his first traction engine. By the mid 1870s he was selling a significant proportion of the machines in use in America. By 1878 Case threshing machines had penetrated the European market, and in 1885 sales to South America began. Case also became the world's largest manufacturer of steam engines.J.I.Case himself, whilst still actively involved with the company, also became involved in politics. He was Mayor of Racine for three terms and State Senator for two. He was also President of the Manufacturers' National Bank of Racine and Founder of the First National Bank of Burlington. He founded the Wisconsin Academy of Science, Arts and Letters and was President of the Racine County Agricultural Society. He had time for sport and was owner of the world's all-time champion trotter-pacer.Continued expansion of the company after J.I. Case's death led eventually to its acquisition by Tenneco in 1967, and in 1985 the company took over International Harvester. As Case I.H. it continues to produce a full range of agricultural, earth-moving and heavy-transport equipment.[br]Further ReadingDespite the size and importance of the company he created, very little has been written about Case. On particular anniversaries the company has produced celebratory publications, and surprisingly these still seem to be the main source of information about him.R.B.Gray, 1975, The Agricultural Tractor 1855–1950, American Society of Agricultural Engineers (traces the history of power on the farm, in which Case and his machines played such an important role).AP -

40 Weston, Edward
SUBJECT AREA: Electricity[br]b. 9 May 1850 Oswestry, Englandd. 20 August 1936 Montclair, New Jersey, USA[br]English (naturalized American) inventor noted for his contribution to the technology of electrical measurements.[br]Although he developed dynamos for electroplating and lighting, Weston's major contribution to technology was his invention of a moving-coil voltmeter and the standard cell which bears his name. After some years as a medical student, during which he gained a knowledge of chemistry, he abandoned his studies. Emigrating to New York in 1870, he was employed by a manufacturer of photographic chemicals. There followed a period with an electroplating company during which he built his first dynamo. In 1877 some business associates financed a company to build these machines and, later, arc-lighting equipment. By 1882 the Weston Company had been absorbed into the United States Electric Lighting Company, which had a counterpart in Britain, the Maxim Weston Company. By the time Weston resigned from the company, in 1886, he had been granted 186 patents. He then began the work in which he made his greatest contribution, the science of electrical measurement.The Weston meter, the first successful portable measuring instrument with a pivoted coil, was made in 1886. By careful arrangement of the magnet, coil and control springs, he achieved a design with a well-damped movement, which retained its calibration. These instruments were produced commercially on a large scale and the moving-coil principle was soon adopted by many manufacturers. In 1892 he invented manganin, an alloy with a small negative temperature coefficient, for use as resistances in his voltmeters.The Weston standard cell was invented in 1892. Using his chemical knowledge he produced a cell, based on mercury and cadmium, which replaced the Clark cell as a voltage reference source. The Weston cell became the recognized standard at the International Conference on Electrical Units and Standards held in London in 1908.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsPresident, AIEE 1888–9.
