		Sperry renewed its challenge to the deduction in the Claims Court, arguing that the 1 1/2% deduction authorized by 502 was unconstitutional.
		Sperry argues that the deduction is a part of Congress' scheme to shift to American claimants against Iran those costs of settling the diplomatic crisis that should have been borne by the Nation as a whole.
		Sperry responds that the 502 charge cannot be upheld as a user fee because there has been no showing that the amount of the deduction approximates the cost of the Tribunal to the United States or bears any relationship to Sperry's use of the Tribunal or the value of the Tribunal's services to Sperry.

	Who Made America? \| Innovators \| Elmer Sperry
		Elmer Ambrose Sperry is noted as the "father of modern navigation technology." Born in Cortland, New York, in 1860, Sperry was educated at the State Normal and Training School.
		By the time Sperry had established himself as an accomplished inventor, a man named G. Hopkins had invented the first electrical gyroscope -- a disk mounted so that it remained in a fixed position despite the movements of its base.
		Sperry's gyroscope technology was later applied to guide torpedoes, steer ships, and stabilize airplanes, ships and spacecraft.

		Regarding their contract claims, the retirees relied on the explicit lifetime language in the plans, e.g., "when you retire, your medical benefit will be continued for the rest of your life", and on statements made by the company both orally and in writing to the same effect.[fn5] The Medflex SPD is illustrative.
		The Sperry retirees additionally contend that the district court erred in failing to sustain the separate contract claims of the "early retirees" or "VRIF" ("Voluntary Reduction in Force") retirees.
		A subgroup of Sperry retirees who retired pursuant to a voluntary reduction in force asserted a separate contract claim of their own that the company had induced them to retire earlier than they would have done by representing that if they retired, they would preserve the post-retirement coverage in effect under then current plans.

		The district court quoted testimony from Sperry's former Senior Vice President for Personnel, Frank Sweeten, who acknowledged that the lifetime promises made by Unisys to retiring employees was an influence in retirement decisions: We said that this is yours for life.

	Guide to ENIAC Patent Trial Collection, 1864-1973, University of Pennsylvania Archives
		By 1964 Sperry Rand was able to secure a stronger position on their claims to the electronic computer by being granted the ENIAC patent filed in 1947.
		Because of their former difficulties with Sperry Rand in the early 1960's and anticipated difficulties from a possible suit to collect royalties, Honeywell filed a suit against Sperry Rand in 1967 on the grounds of anti-trust violations and unjustified claims to the electronic computer.
		Sperry Rand contented that the ENIAC was solely the invention of Eckert and Mauchly; however, Honeywell stated that Eckert and Mauchly had taken the idea from John Vincent Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry.

		Sperry essentially complains that the award was improper due to the Air Force's failure to conduct technical discussions during the source selection process.
		Sperry argues that since its proposal was determined to be technically acceptable by the Air Force's evaluators and, hence, within the competitive range [FN1], the agency's failure to afford the firm the opportunity to *197 submit a revised technical proposal was inherently prejudicial with regard to the firm's competitive standing among the offerors.
		With regard to Sperry's initial technical proposal, we cannot find that the proposal was deficient to the extent that, even if discussions had been held to allow for the correction of individual deficiencies, the firm had no chance of being selected for the award.

		Under questioning by Sperry Rand Lawyer DeLone, Mauchly told about his education and career from his days at McKinley Technical High School where he was so precocious in science and mathematics that he was frequently left to teach the class.
