Edward E. Hammer

Born	December 27, 1931 Brooklyn, New York, U.S.
Died	July 16, 2012^[1] (aged 80)
Awards	IEEE Edison Medal (2002)

Edward E. Hammer (December 27, 1931 – July 16, 2012)^[1] was an engineer who was at the forefront of fluorescent lighting research. His technological contributions in incandescent, fluorescent and HID light sources earned him over 35 patents.^[2]

He received his bachelor's degree from Manhattan College in 1954.

During the energy crisis of the 1970s, he led the development of General Electric’s pioneering energy-efficient lamp. He led the development of the Watt Miser (marketed as the F-40 Watt Miser), which was released in 1973. In 1976, he invented the first compact fluorescent lightbulb, but due to the difficulty of the manufacturing process for coating the interior of the spiral glass tube, GE did not manufacture or sell the device. Other companies began manufacturing and selling the device in 1995.^[3] The Smithsonian Institution houses Hammer's original CFL prototype.

Hammer is an IEEE Fellow and the 2002 IEEE Edison Medal winner.

Iitaka dimension

In algebraic geometry, the Iitaka dimension of a line bundle L on an algebraic variety X is the dimension of the image of the rational map to projective space determined by L. This is 1 less than the dimension of the section ring of L R ( X , L ) = ⨁ d = 0 ∞ H 0 ( X , L ⊗ d ) . {\displaystyle R(X,L)=\bigoplus _{d=0}^{\infty }H^{0}(X,L^{\otimes d}).} The Iitaka dimension of L is always less than or equal to the dimension of X. If L is not effective, then its Iitaka dimensi...

There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. The semiregular tilings form new tilings from their duals, each made from one type of irregular face. John Conway called these uniform duals Catalan tilings, in parallel to the Catalan solid polyh...
