IEEE USA Chief Attains NJ Inventors Hall of Fame
Written by Tracy Heffner
Monday, 13 June 2005
WASHINGTON – IEEE-USA President Dr. Gerard Alphonse will be inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame on June 23. The Princeton, NJ resident, who holds more than 50 U.S. patents, is being honored for his "prolific work in diverse cutting-edge technologies, including superconductivity, acoustic emissions and electro-optics." Former inductees include Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. "I never dreamed of joining the ranks of such prestigious inductees," Alphonse said. "I feel both proud and humbled to receive such a great honor and mark of distinction, with my name joining those of famous inventors." Alphonse invented and demonstrated the world's highest performance superluminescent diode in 1986. The diode is a broadband semiconductor light source and key component of next-generation fiber optic gyroscopes, low coherence tomography for medical imaging and external cavity tunable lasers with applications to fiber optic communications. The New Jersey Research and Development Council, a nonprofit association dedicated to creating a strong, healthy environment for the continued growth of R&D within the state, selected Alphonse and three others for the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame. The council also recognizes inventors, innovators and graduate students.

Development Kit Test Drives Innovative Cable Assemblies
3M introduces the Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit, 2mm. The development kit enables users to assess, test and design high-performance, 2mm SCI cable-to-board solutions. Engineers can attain multi-gigahertz performance from 2 mm printed circuit board connectors using 2mm shielded controlled impedance cable assemblies. The SCI connectors save board space without affecting performance. Users can verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for designs requiring up to 1 Gbps single-ended performance per signal line or 5 Gbps differential performance per signal pair. The kit contains everything needed to assess, test and design, including a CD-ROM with application note, test instruction and technical sheets. www.3m.com
