Hannibal Ford. Hannibal Choate Ford (1877–1955) was an American inventor and electrical engineer best known for his work during the first half of the 20th century.

Biography 

Hannibal C. Ford was born in Dryden, New York on May 8, 1877, to Susan Augusta Giles and Abram Millard Ford, the publisher and editor of the weekly Dryden Herald. He graduated with a B.S. in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1903. While there he worked in the Sibley College electrical engineering laboratory.

Ford began working for Elmer Ambrose Sperry’s Sperry Gyroscope Company in 1909, where he quickly became chief engineer and helped turn the gyrocompass into a military-grade product. He left Sperry in 1915 to launch what would become the Ford Instrument Company. Before retiring in 1943, he would hold the patents to over 50 inventions, many of which would prove to be integral to the development of fire control rangekeepers and analog computers used by the United States Navy during World War II.

He was married to Katherine Moyer on July 4, 1918. His sister, Grace Conable, was married to noted 20th-century architect George W. Conable, who is best known for designing Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (1908) and Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church (1926).

He died on March 13, 1955, in Kings Point, New York shortly after suffering a stroke.

Notable Inventions 

Ford Mk 1A Computer, an electromechanical fire control computer designed for use on ships that could predict a target’s position based on data inputs.

Ford Mk 2 Computer, known as the "Baby Ford," a small-ship version of the Ford Mk 1A used in destroyers and the secondary batteries of larger ships.

Jungle chip. A jungle chip, or jungle IC, is an integrated circuit (IC or "chip") found in most analog televisions of the 1990s. It takes a composite video signal from the radio frequency receiver electronics and turns it into separate RGB outputs that can be sent to the cathode ray tube to produce a display. This task had previously required separate analog circuits.

Advanced versions generally had a second set of inputs in RGB format that were used to overlay on-screen display imagery. These would be connected to a microcontroller that would handle operations like tuning, sleep mode and running the remote control. A separate input called "blanking" switched the jungle outputs between the two inputs on the fly. This was normally triggered at a fixed location on the screen, creating rectangular areas with the digital data overlaying the television signal. This was used for on-screen channel displays, closed captioning support, and similar duties.

The internal RGB inputs have led to such televisions having a revival in the retrocomputing market. By running connectors from the RGB pins on the jungle chip to connectors added by the user, typically RCA jacks on the back of the television case, and then turning on the blanking switch permanently, the system is converted to an RGB monitor. Since early computers output signals with television timings, NTSC or PAL, using a jungle chip television avoids the need to provide separate timing signals. This contrasts with multisync monitors or similar designs that do not have any "built-in" timing and have separate inputs for these signals.

Examples of jungle chips include the Motorola MC65585, Philips TDA6361 and Sony CXA1870.

Jon Myer. Jon Myer (September 29, 1922 – August 30, 2001) was an experimental physicist and inventor who received 50 U.S. patents in the fields of semiconductors, mechanics, electronics, magnetics and optics. His prolific work encompassed a wide field of research and his inventions ranged from supermarket scanners to laser microwelder technology. Over the course of his career, Myer was the author of 11 scholarly papers on semiconductor materials technology, optical instrumentation, information processing and the history of science. In 1972 he was inducted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society.

Early life
Myer was born Hans Wolfgang Mayer in Heilbronn, Germany. In 1935, at the age of 13, he fled the Nazis to British-governed Palestine with his parents and two younger brothers. 

Myer earned his engineering degree in 1941 from the Hebrew Technical College in Haifa and worked at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology on a variety of projects including anti-magnetic-mine timers for the British Navy. While at the Technion, he worked with George Feher
on secret project for the paramilitary Haganah, to devise a system for broad communication of secret information without the use of wired or wireless systems. This project remained a state secret for over 50 years.

Career
In 1942, Myer became an instrument designer and engineer for the Anglo Iranian Oil Co. in Abadan, Iran later returning to the Hebrew Technical College as an instrument designer and engineering consultant.
Myer emigrated to the United States in 1947 where he changed his name to Jon Harold Myer. He worked as an instrumentologist in the University of Southern California chemistry department for six years. From 1953 to 1967, Myer worked as an engineer and physicist in the Semiconductor Division as well as the Aerospace Systems division at Hughes Aircraft Company in Newport Beach, California. In 1967, he became a member of the Technical Staff at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California and was ultimately promoted to Senior Scientist. He also served as a consultant in the Radar Systems Division at Hughes Aircraft in Culver City.  Myer was awarded the Hughes Corporate Group Patent Award upon his retirement in 1991.

In addition to his work at Hughes, Myer lectured extensively to professional and lay audiences including school-age children on the subjects of creativity as well as science and technology in society. He also taught science and technology in law enforcement at California Lutheran College. 

He received the distinguished service Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America in 1966 for creating the first Boy Scouts Explorer post in Newport Beach, California dedicated to science and technology as well as the first to include women.
