  Professor Hubert Farnsworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor by courtesy: a professor who is primarily and originally associated with one academic department, but has become officially associated with a second department, institute, or program within the university and has assumed a professor's duty in that second department as well.
Typically, such a professor may be invaluable to his university department in procuring research funding and/or in publishing scholarly works, and therefore the department would prefer that he not distract himself with teaching duties that are not directly linked to his research activities.
Professors belonging to the Catedrático and Professor Titular de Universidad categories have the same rights, both can have collaborators and manage money, and may become deans or department directors, but the net salary of a catedrático is about a 15% higher than that of a professor titular of the same seniority.

 Philo Farnsworth
Philo Taylor Farnsworth (August 19 1906 – March 11 1971) was an American inventor of the vacuum tube television display, an idea he conceived at age 14 and developed at age 21.
Patent battles and the outbreak of World War II meant that he was never able to profit from his invention and he remains a forgotten figure overshadowed by inventors such as John Logie Baird who, unlike Farnsworth, did not invent a television system in use today.
The cathode ray tube developed from Farnsworth's work was used in all television sets until the late 20th century and the advent of plasma screens and other variants.
