RIP]http://www.cleveland.com/obituaries/index.ssf/2012/07/edward_e_hammer_of_nela_park_i.htmlHome > Obituaries from The Plain Dealer > Real Time News Edward E. Hammer of Nela Park invented compact fluorescent light bulbs: news obituary Published: Friday, July 20, 2012, 3:54 PM Updated: Friday, July 20, 2012, 4:01 PM By Grant Segall *** begin quote *** Mayfield-- Edward E. Hammer invented the compact fluorescent light bulb and more. The retired Nela Park scientist died July 16 at Kindred in Lyndhurst. He was 80. "Don't tell Ed Hammer he can't do something because he'll likely prove you wrong," Rocky Kistner wrote last year on his blog for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Ellis Yan, chief executive officer of Technical Consumer Products in Aurora, said Hammer was both a great scientist and a great popularizer. "He wanted everyone to share his excitement for CFLs [compact fluorescent lights] and was able to explain the complexities of CFLs in a manner that anyone could understand." Hammer helped to develop many other products, including the F40 Watt Miser lamp. He shared in at least 35 U.S. patents, 14 foreign ones, and more than 40 papers. He won many national and global honors. He was raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and earned a bachelor's of science degree at Manhattan College. He played semi-pro hockey at Madison Square Garden, where he met his future wife, Gertrude Filsinger, from Euclid. Hammer worked briefly in California, then joined General Electric's lighting headquarters at Nela Park in East Cleveland from 1957 to 2001. He became widely known as the father of fluorescent signature analysis, studying the light's eventual decay. The energy crisis of the 1970s spurred the compact fluorescent. Hammer needed a long, narrow bulb that fit a standard socket and came up with a double helix. It worked well but took long, expensive work by glassblowers to make. So the invention sat on the shelf until the 1990s, when companies such as the local Technical Consumer Products found ways to produce the bulbs inexpensively. In retirement, Hammer consulted widely. He searched for mathematical relationships among subatomic particles. He also helped to develop computer chips to improve the efficiency of compact fluorescents now hitting the market. "This will revolutionize everything about low wattage," he told Kistner. Hammer's many honors included the Edison Gold Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, where he was made a lifetime member. The Smithsonian Institution displays one of his first compact fluorescents. The Hammers wintered in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Florida. There they liked to roller-blade, a sport reminiscent of their meeting over hockey. Survivors: wife, the former Gertrude Filsinger; son, Edward D. Hammer of Solon; and three grandchildren.

2012-Jul-21ENDNOTE: USCCB’s position on health care reform falls into the welfare traphttp://diometuchen.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/RespectforLife-2/AffordableCare.pdfBISHOPS RENEW PLEA TO CONGRESS AND ADMINISTRATION TO REPAIR AFFORDABLE CARE ACT *** begin quote *** Supreme Court decision does not address fundamental flaws in the law Legislation still needed to fix conscience, abortion funding, immigration problems WASHINGTON—Today (June 28, 2012) the United States Supreme Court issued a decision upholding as a tax the provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires individuals to purchase a health plan—the so-called “individual mandate.” For nearly a century, the Catholic bishops of the United States have been and continue to be consistent advocates for comprehensive health care reform to ensure access to life-affirming health care for all, especially the poorest and the most vulnerable. Although the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) did not participate in these cases and took no position on the specific questions presented to the Court, USCCB’s position on health care reform generally and on ACA particularly is a matter of public record. The bishops ultimately opposed final passage of ACA for several reasons. *** end quote *** In the Middle Ages, if my movie history is to be believed, Holy Mother Church stood to thwart Royalty from oppressing the serfs. Why don't they adopt that role today? Gooferment oppresses the poor and deludes them with false promises. Holy Mother Church should castigate and expel the State from: welfare, money, and everything other than DEFENSE, not offense, of the nation. By eliminating welfare, EVERYONE should be part of the commonwealth. Let's have free market solutions that can quickly and cheaply address the issues. There's no need for "immigration" if there's no welfare. By eliminating the State from "money", the poor and those on fixed income won't be robbed of their purchasing power by inflation. (And, don't tell me that it's zero. Go buy food and see bigger packages of air at higher prices.) By eliminating past distortions of the free market in health care, like create true national markets, individual deductibility of healthcare premiums, and disconnect it from employment. By systematically wringing fraud out of medicare and medicaid by hving a 1% deductible. Or even .1%, over 100k. Ever see senior citizens go over a dinner check? The bishops, and Holy Mother Church, go astray when they get into the messy details. If they would focus on "freeing the people" of oppressive Gooferment then there would be more than enough resources to improve the human condition. # - # - # - # - # |
