# William Ritchie (physicist)

William Ritchie (1790?–1837) was a Scottish physicist. He was noted as an ingenious experimentalist.

## Life

Born about 1790, he was educated for the Church of Scotland, and was licensed to preach; but he abandoned the church for the teaching profession. He became rector of the Royal Academy of Tain, in Ross-shire. After saving a little money, he provided a substitute to perform his duties, and went to Paris. There he attended the lectures of Louis Jacques Thénard, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, and Jean-Baptiste Biot. He soon acquired skill in devising and performing experiments in natural philosophy.
Ritchie's publications led to his appointment to the professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution, where he delivered a course of probationary lectures in 1829. In 1832 he was appointed professor of natural philosophy in London University.
Ritchie was subsequently engaged on experiments on the manufacture of glass for optical purposes, and a commission was appointed by the government to inquire into his results. A telescope of eight inches aperture was constructed by John Dollond from Ritchie's glass, at the recommendation of the commission, but its performance was not very satisfactory (it is unrelated to the later Ritchey–Chrétien telescope).
Ritchie died on 15 September 1837 of a fever caught in Scotland.

## Works

He became known to Sir John Herschel, and through him he communicated to the Royal Society papers On a New Photometer, On a New Form of the Differential Thermometer, and On the Permeability of Transparent Screens of Extreme Tenuity by Radiant Heat. Shortly afterwards he published two small treatises on geometry (1833; 3rd edit. 1853) and the differential and integral calculus (1836; 2nd edit. 1847). He communicated to the Royal Society—of which he was elected a fellow—papers On the Elasticity of Threads of Glass and the Application of this Property to Torsion Balances, and also experimental researches on the electric and chemical theories of galvanism, on electromagnetism, and voltaic electricity.
His papers contributed to the Philosophical Magazine are in vols. i.–xii.

# William Irvine (1776–1811)

William Irvine (1776 – 23 May 1811) was a Scottish physician.

## Biography

Irvine was the son of William Irvine, professor of chemistry at Glasgow. He was born there in 1776. He studied medicine in the university of Edinburgh, where he took the degree of M.D. 25 June 1798. His thesis, ‘De Epispasticis,’ was based upon an unpublished essay of his father's on nervous diseases (Preface to Chemical Essays, 1805). He became a licentiate of the College of Physicians of London 25 June 1806, and his professional life was spent in the medical service of the army as physician to the forces. In 1805 he published his father's ‘Essays, chiefly on Chemical Subjects.’ In 1808 he was stationed in Sicily, and in 1810 his most important work appeared, ‘Some Observations upon Diseases, chiefly as they occur in Sicily.’ This book is based upon observations on malarial fever and dysentery made in the general army hospital at Messina, and contains several acute remarks, such as that abscess of the liver is associated with dysentery, that it may burst through the diaphragm into the lung, and the patient nevertheless recover. Shingles was then confused with erysipelas, but he notes accurately a difference in the results of treatment which is due to the definite duration of the former disease. He had carefully compared his own observations with those of George Cleghorn and of James Currie on similar fevers, and had studied minutely the observations of Hippocrates on diseases of the Mediterranean region. He died of fever at Malta, 23 May 1811. After his death were published in 1813 his ‘Letters on Sicily.’
# William Pumphrey

William Pumphrey (1817 – 1905) was an early photographer based in York.

Throughout this time he frequently lectured on scientific and kindred subjects; indeed, he continued to lecture - including to Bootham boys - even after taking up his post as superintendent of a private lunatic asylum in York. He was fond of travel, bringing home many photographs of the scenery of Switzerland and elsewhere, which he took pleasure in showing to his friends with the magic lantern.
In 1866, he organised an exhibition of Yorkshire Fine Art and Industry, in the grounds of Bootham Park Hospital, in which he entered two revolving stereoscopes, each containing 50 of his stereo views.

It was during the Invasion of Normandy that Trump earned a Silver Star. He volunteered to venture onto the Omaha Beach and anchor a safety line for the 200 soldiers his vessel carried to follow ashore. Trump had to make his way past heavily mined beach fortifications, while under heavy enemy fire. His helmet was creased by a German bullet.
Trump lied about his age, and enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1941 at 17 years old. He retired as a chief petty officer, in 1965
After retirement Trump joined the Merchant Marine, serving for fifteen years aboard vessels of Belcher Oil Company.
Only eleven other members of the Coast Guard have been awarded the Silver Star.

The eleventh cutter in the class was named the USCGC William Trump. She will be homeported in Key West, Florida. Trump's eight children attended a dedication ceremony at the Bollinger Shipyards in Louisiana in March 2012. Trump's eldest grandson, Jeremy Trump, became a Navy SEAL, saying that it was only after he enlisted that he and his grandfather discussed his record.

# William Pinker

William Albert Pinker OBE (9 May 1847 – 5 June 1932) was an English stonemason and museum technician at the British Museum, serving in the Department of Antiquities from 1873 and as foreman of masons from 1894.

## Biography

Pinker was born on 9 May 1847, in the village of Box, Wiltshire, the fifth of nine children born to James Pinker (1810–1878) and Mary Chandler (1814–1882). He came from a long line of stonemasons and quarrymen, including his father, who worked in the Box Quarries mining Bath stone. From the age of around 6, Pinker joined his father and older brothers in the quarries, working as a "labourer". In the mid-1860s Pinker left Box and travelled to London, where he found employment as a mason in Kensington. Shortly afterwards, he met Jane Harris. They married on 31 December 1876 in Southwark. They would go on to have three daughters: Jennifer "Jenny" (1878–1970), Florence (1881–1929) and Rose (1884–1976).

# Wim Sweldens

Wim Sweldens is a Belgian American business leader, scientist, and inventor notable for innovations in communications and signal processing technology. Sweldens is the inventor of the wavelet lifting scheme, an algorithm used both in the JPEG 2000 image compression standard, as well as for compressing 3D images into billions of tiny triangular modules. At telecommunications firm Alcatel-Lucent in New Jersey, he led development of new cell tower technology called lightRadio which reduces the size of transmission equipment dramatically. The equipment uses only basic electrical power and can be placed indoors and linked to optical fiber cables; it enables mobile networks to operate with much less electricity, halving CO$_2$ emissions and reducing the carbon footprint, and permitting cell phone service to reach more people over expanded geographic areas.
In 2013 Sweldens co-founded Kiswe Mobile with Jeong Kim and Jimmy Lynn. The Kiswe interactive streaming (also called reverse streaming) technology has powered some of the biggest music and sports events in the world, notably with the K-pop band BTS with over one million live viewers.
Kiswe's multi view technology allows end users to live choose their favorite camera angle of an event. Users can also remote participate in an event through chat, cheering, and uploading selfie videos. Sweldens was one of the key people behind Kiswe's virtual Tour of Flanders during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown.
Sweldens holds 28 US patents and has received prestigious awards, including the MIT TR35 in 1999 and the Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis. He is an Honorary Professor at the University of Leuven.
