  Dean Kamen - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kamen is probably most well-known to the public from the publicity surrounding the product that eventually became known as the Segway HT—a kind of electric scooter with a complex, computer-controlled gyroscopic stabilization and control system that keeps the device balanced on two horizontally-placed wheels and controlled by moving body weight.
However, Kamen was already a successful and wealthy inventor, after inventing a new type of mobile dialysis system for medical applications, as well as an all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the IBOT using many of the same gyroscopic balancing technologies that later made their way into the Segway.
In April 2002, Kamen was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize for inventors for his invention of the Segway and of an infusion pump for diabetics.
