RF Generators, Fanuc Robots, Program Logic Controllers... And much more.... Even the young guys got basic math class...

Seriously I was thinking the same thing. The transmission line from the video source to the digitizer is missing at least one of the necessary 75 ohm terminators and hence the video is far too bright and bloomed out. Redubbing this with the proper termination would restore the color. You might even have to cut the saturation slightly. But the net result would be far better. To do this you either need to switch on the internal terminators on the devices or put in tees with 75 ohm terminators on the end and then connect the tee to the video input.

@@motormadness9975 I think a lot of advances in science are derivative. Scientists improve upon the work of others that have come before them. This is not theft or laziness it is how advances are made by all of science. To assert that any group of scientists just copy another group without adding to the science is ingenuous at best.
Ingenuous? Judging by your 3 lead-in sentences, it's obvious you don't know the meaning of the word. The correct word you were seeking, its opposite, is "disingenuous." "Improve," yes. But "copy"? No. That's what China and Iran do: copy. More exactly, "steal." Yes, China is getting better at electronics, but their continued theft of high tech continues to grate on the innovators in the West. Trump is pushing China hard on the issue, and China doesn't like being caught with its hands in the cookie jar. Theft kills ingenuity and human progress by stealing from those who invest time and money to innovate. This is why the US has its patent system: to reward innovators with a temporary monopoly on their inventions, and is one key reason why the US leads the world in innovation. With your ignorant, dismissive attitude, you obviously condone theft.
These are fantastic, I wish there was a version that wasn't so blown-out.

More impurities = lower resistance, or in other words, better conductance. Therefore, the higher the resistance you get, the higher the purity. Tada! lol
at 2:20 he reports just about zero percent useable transistors. Step in Clive Sinclair who would buy them and sell them as a kit to build amplifiers. That's what he did with Plessey Semiconductor scrap transistors in the 1960's.
My, but how times have changed. Since Dr. Noyce died in 1990, and this video makes reference to "the late Robert Noyce," the video is no more than 28 years old as I write this. Thanks mainly to pollution controls mandated by the state and feds, silicon manufacturing in Silicon Valley has all but disappeared. Instead, the Valley now pushes one's and zero's out the door in this digital world controlled by software. I remember shopping at that audio store in the 80s but not knowing at the time that it was the site of Shockley's original facility. The city of Mountain View recently had it leveled to put in high rise apartments. They obviously have no sense of history.

It was done to save millions of lives. Remember, Japan attacked America. They bombed civilians as well as soldiers. It was not right but it was what needed to be done.

Why Japan leave the electronic industry and give Chinese short life electronics.. that have done a major recycling threat to the world...!!! Japanese come back .., take over cheap Chinese....
Let's totally forget about why people stopped using Japan as much. Couldn't be they stopped innovating, their mega corps became increasingly arrogant and cared much more about protecting IPs than producing anything worthwhile. Sony was one of the worst about this in the 2000s, coming to a head with the DRM on physical music CDs, the PS3 (so many issues), and blu-ray (which was also PS3). Japan never left the electronics sector, so really your whole post is based on a misreading of the situation... Also the recycling problem is worldwide, this isn't a China problem. Otherwise products from Japan, and elsewhere would generally be repairable. They aren't. It's a worldwide problem. Products are built to be disposable, not upgrade-able or fixable. Check where your products are made. Doesn't matter if it's Taiwan, Mexico, US, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc, they all come glued together with no schematics and no way to source parts to repair the stuff. This is a capitalism problem actually.
This was a VHS copy of a tape that was borrowed from a local cultural centre that was either copied off an original tape or off of a television broadcast. The capture card I had at the time was terrible, I have a better capture device and still have the tape. I do plan to re-capture these at some point when I get around to getting my capture device back from my friend, assuming the tape is still any good. These captures were made in 2007.
little known until now, that this technology had been handed to the military by Aliens captured in the 40s. The off world Aliens were sumarily tortured (tickled in the bottom of their feet) then , well ...offed
I appreciate what the Japanese produced, but it seems they are more into improving upon the work of others, rather than coming up with their own concepts. This would make me think twice about sharing technology with them. Same with the Chinese.
+duradim1 Another stupid racist detected! That could be said about the Americans, they invented almost nothing! E.g. Japan was inventing the television technology in the 20s independently alongside with the West. It's not like the West is sharing technology with Japan, it's the other way round! If Japan would decide to stop sharing their technology, you could burry your precious iPhone! And only thanks to Japan we already have holograms, yes the real thing, like in Star Wars! And it's not the same with Chinese, they are just using the machines that Western and Japanese companies brought there for their out-sourcing program. Made in China actually just means assembled in China.
***** Fucking idiot. East Asian countries have most of their technological know-how from Japan, not the West! Many of the founders of companies like Hyundai studied in Japan when their country belonged to the Japanese Empire.The Japanese industrialisation started in the 1860s, China and Korea were still 3rd world countries 100 years later! Modern technologies that you think Japan borrowed from the West have actually been co-developed with Japan. E.g. Kenjiro Takayanagi became the first in the world to successfully project an image onto a cathode ray tube in 1926. So shut the fuck up with this racist bullshit! Japan was developing the electronic industry as we know it today hand in hand with the West. And don't compare Japan with China or Korea! China and Korea were 3rd World countries until at least the 60s and have definitely borrowed or even stolen all their technology!
What can we learn from this documentary series? that japanese copied each and every american idea and were incapable of coming up with anything themselves
There is absolutely nothing wrong with improving on a patent and patenting the improvements, in fact in the scientific community it is encouraged, that is how we progress with innovation. If the Americans really wanted to refine the design they would have, the Japanese saw potential in what was at the time basically an American proof of concept with working prototype. The main thing that this documentary tried to get across, is just how dedicated the Japanese were to produce the transistor, subjecting themselves to harsh environments, using crude near backyard manufacturing processes, and risking their lives because they believed it would be a huge benefit to the technological and scientific community. It turns out they were right. This is not the first time Americans have sat on a good idea or discovery in this field either. Thomas Edison actually noticed the current flow between a metal plate and filament when experimenting with his light bulb. He even noted that the current was only capable of flowing in one direction. He essentially discovered the basic physical properties that make vacuum tubes possible, but after noting it in his observations he shrugged it off. J A Flemming saw promise in it, and began to experiment, inventing the first vacuum tube, the "thermionic valve" or "Flemming Valve" called this because it allowed current flow in one direction just like a check valve. It was used as a radio detector to replace crude germanium an other crystal detectors. Lee deforest then discovered that by adding a third electrode you could control the flow of current flowing from anode to cathode, and if you applied a signal to this "grid" you could amplify that signal at the plate. This became the first amplifying tube known as the DeForest Audion. Flemming was British, DeForest was American. In the end these improvements on something that someone may not have found imminent to advancement is improved on by someone else and eventually comes full circle.

This is something that all humans should know what industrial pollution can do to the society, specially to today's developing countries like China and India.
The price to pay is not worth the any economic success.
Yokkaichi asthma was another of the Four Diseases. It's also in the documentary.

Ha!
Also the first engine they made melted down.
インゴットはだいぶ大きくなり、目を見張るものですね、
Please why that music, when trying to hear youre interesting story !
At 3:30 the major shame over the humanity, the atomic bombing over mostly civilian people on Nagasaki and Hiroshima...
It was done to save millions of lives. Remember, Japan attacked America. They bombed civilians as well as soldiers. It was not right but it was what needed to be done.
Lozano, read many American books on that of atoms if u can. Sure enough to see & why the Amechang did the exeriments of uranium and plutonium on human conducted. U do NOT know so many facts on the real history !! Dude u never able to know the truth anyway so just dip in the fake childish AMEJEWCHANGS made propaganda ur teachers telling !! Have Nice Naive Days !! Chao.
What motivated Noyce to sell patents to Japan, in the post war context?
the macarthur plan or whatever it was called - i guess the government was trying to encourage trade at that point
عالی بود.😍😍
"I went to report to the department chief that the yield was 0.3%". Not the kind of news you want to be obligated to report to your boss!
so funny 3 outta of 1000 are good xD
JAPON GRAN PAIS
As you watch this you may wander, where we African Countries were,
Why Japan leave the electronic industry and give Chinese short life electronics.. that have done a major recycling threat to the world...!!!
Japanese come back .., take over cheap Chinese....
Let's totally forget about why people stopped using Japan as much. Couldn't be they stopped innovating, their mega corps became increasingly arrogant and cared much more about protecting IPs than producing anything worthwhile. Sony was one of the worst about this in the 2000s, coming to a head with the DRM on physical music CDs, the PS3 (so many issues), and blu-ray (which was also PS3).
Japan never left the electronics sector, so really your whole post is based on a misreading of the situation...
Also the recycling problem is worldwide, this isn't a China problem. Otherwise products from Japan, and elsewhere would generally be repairable. They aren't. It's a worldwide problem. Products are built to be disposable, not upgrade-able or fixable.
Check where your products are made. Doesn't matter if it's Taiwan, Mexico, US, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc, they all come glued together with no schematics and no way to source parts to repair the stuff. This is a capitalism problem actually.
Hi
Can't pay for conventional circuit simulators? Look for androidcircuitsolver on google

makes you wonder where all the industrial waste is going... maybe they use their whale boat to trash it in the ocean quietly...
It's a pity that the original film has been transposed to video so poorly. The white areas are totally crushed.
This was a VHS copy of a tape that was borrowed from a local cultural centre that was either copied off an original tape or off of a television broadcast. The capture card I had at the time was terrible, I have a better capture device and still have the tape. I do plan to re-capture these at some point when I get around to getting my capture device back from my friend, assuming the tape is still any good. These captures were made in 2007.

little known until now, that this technology had been handed to the military by Aliens captured in the 40s. The off world Aliens were sumarily tortured (tickled in the bottom of their feet) then , well ...offed
😂 Lol

I appreciate what the Japanese produced, but it seems they are more into improving upon the work of others, rather than coming up with their own concepts. This would make me think twice about sharing technology with them. Same with the Chinese.
Congratulations, you've been awarded the Dumbest Comment of the Internet (tm) today! Here's your prize - watch?v=BROWqjuTM0g
+duradim1 Another stupid racist detected! That could be said about the Americans, they invented almost nothing! E.g. Japan was inventing the television technology in the 20s independently alongside with the West. It's not like the West is sharing technology with Japan, it's the other way round! If Japan would decide to stop sharing their technology, you could burry your precious iPhone! And only thanks to Japan we already have holograms, yes the real thing, like in Star Wars! And it's not the same with Chinese, they are just using the machines that Western and Japanese companies brought there for their out-sourcing program. Made in China actually just means assembled in China.
+DarthChrisB Racist? Really? No, more like cultural, not racists remarks. Learn the difference friend.
*****
So what? Japan still invented their own TV technology since the beginning and didn't need the west to bring it to them.
*****
Fucking idiot. East Asian countries have most of their technological know-how from Japan, not the West! Many of the founders of companies like Hyundai studied in Japan when their country belonged to the Japanese Empire.The Japanese industrialisation started in the 1860s, China and Korea were still 3rd world countries 100 years later! Modern technologies that you think Japan borrowed from the West have actually been co-developed with Japan. E.g. Kenjiro Takayanagi became the first in the world to successfully project an image onto a cathode ray tube in 1926. So shut the fuck up with this racist bullshit! Japan was developing the electronic industry as we know it today hand in hand with the West. And don't compare Japan with China or Korea! China and Korea were 3rd World countries until at least the 60s and have definitely borrowed or even stolen all their technology!
Moral of the story: No Japan, No computer. Ok, got it
No Japan = No competition for the US => shitty products for consumers. The competition from Japan spurred the US.
David Castillo then it was still no Japan no PC, right?
i did not understand what you wrote there.
Now we have gay kids and TikTok..sad how America devolved after integration
Great, well told story. Unfortunately, the video quality is all but unwatchable.
What can we learn from this documentary series? that japanese copied each and every american idea and were incapable of coming up with anything themselves
There is absolutely nothing wrong with improving on a patent and patenting the improvements, in fact in the scientific community it is encouraged, that is how we progress with innovation. If the Americans really wanted to refine the design they would have, the Japanese saw potential in what was at the time basically an American proof of concept with working prototype. The main thing that this documentary tried to get across, is just how dedicated the Japanese were to produce the transistor, subjecting themselves to harsh environments, using crude near backyard manufacturing processes, and risking their lives because they believed it would be a huge benefit to the technological and scientific community. It turns out they were right. This is not the first time Americans have sat on a good idea or discovery in this field either. Thomas Edison actually noticed the current flow between a metal plate and filament when experimenting with his light bulb. He even noted that the current was only capable of flowing in one direction. He essentially discovered the basic physical properties that make vacuum tubes possible, but after noting it in his observations he shrugged it off. J A Flemming saw promise in it, and began to experiment, inventing the first vacuum tube, the "thermionic valve" or "Flemming Valve" called this because it allowed current flow in one direction just like a check valve. It was used as a radio detector to replace crude germanium an other crystal detectors. Lee deforest then discovered that by adding a third electrode you could control the flow of current flowing from anode to cathode, and if you applied a signal to this "grid" you could amplify that signal at the plate. This became the first amplifying tube known as the DeForest Audion. Flemming was British, DeForest was American. In the end these improvements on something that someone may not have found imminent to advancement is improved on by someone else and eventually comes full circle.
No different to the industrial revolution that started in Britain. Competitors studied each others designs and then improved them.

I'm transistor guy 👽
turn that awful annoying background noise off, unwatchable
