	Who Made America? \| Innovators \| George Westinghouse, Jr.
		George Westinghouse was instrumental in increasing the safety of the American railroad system and encouraging the growth of the transportation industry.
		In total Westinghouse made over 300 inventions that revolved around railroad travel, including a rotary steam engine, an effective means of righting cars that had been derailed, and a "frog," a switch that allowed trains to "hop" across rails at a junction.
		Westinghouse also experimented with electricity and developed a transformer that could bring alternating current (AC) electricity down from high voltage to low -- thus enabling AC to travel long distances while still making it ready for use.

	George Westinghouse, 1846 - 1914
		There followed many successes for Westinghouse's company in the fields of power generation and the application of electricity to industry, rail and marine transportation, the military and to the home, and in the development of radio broadcasting and nuclear power.
		Westinghouse was issued 361 patents, the last one in 1918, four years after his death.
		Westinghouse was awarded the AIEE Edison Medal, named for his strongest opponent, in 1911 "For meritorious achievement in connection with the development of the alternating current system for light and power." He died in New York on 12 March 1914.

	Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Who Killed Westinghouse? - Prologue
		After all, there are plenty of examples of former Westinghouse divisions that have done better under new ownership: Adtranz, the mass-transit cars and people-mover maker in West Mifflin; Cutler-Hammer, the former electrical controls and distribution business in Green Tree; and Wesco, an electrical equipment supplier on the South Side, all come to mind.
		Westinghouse Credit's stunning fall was equaled by its stunning ascent during the late 1980s, when Danforth and his successor, John Marous, transformed the formerly low-profile unit, which once just financed appliance purchases, into a speculative commercial real estate and corporate lending vehicle that promised fast growth and fat profits.
		It didn't help that Westinghouse's chief executives in this fateful era had little time to put their stamp on the corporation.The last four CEOs, excluding interim replacement Gary Clark, who filled in for six months during the search for Lego's successor, each had an average of only 3.5 years to show results.

	Toshiba set to win Westinghouse race - Independent Online Edition > Business News
		The protracted auction for Westinghouse, the British-owned builder of nuclear reactors, was on the verge of being settled last night, with Japan's Toshiba looking to have clinched victory with a knockout bid of about $5bn (£2.8bn).
		As Westinghouse is the developer of some of America's most cutting-edge nuclear technology, a considerable number of US politicians have publicly aired the view that its sale was a national security matter and have said it should go to a US buyer.
		The high price Westinghouse fetched is seen as vindication by some in Government, and especially the Treasury, who last year pressed for it to be put on the block to take advantage of the renewed interest around the world in nuclear technology as an alternative to fossil fuels.

	CES 2007: Westinghouse shows off the Quad HDTV - update \| Tom's Hardware

		Noteworthy is also a Westinghouse 24" widescreen PC monitor with a 1920 x 1200 resolution.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Westinghouse began a prolific career of inventing (over 300 inventions), with a patented rotary steam engine, a system for righting derailed railroad cars, and a railroad frog (a switch that allows a train's wheels to "leap" across intersecting rails at a junction).
		Westinghouse had invented a special reduction valve that allowed highly pressurized natural gas to be emitted at the point of use in bursts at low pressure.
		Westinghouse founded Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh (1886), and went head to head against Edison's General Electric, employing Nikola Tesla to work with him to create the motors and equipment necessary to deliver alternating current (AC) to a nearly unlimited number of users over great distances.

	The Life of George Westinghouse - Succeed through Studying Biographies: School for Champions
		Westinghouse purchased the Tesla's AC motor and dynamo patents and hired him to improve and modify the dynamo for use in the power system.
		Westinghouse built power plants and transmission lines, proving once and for all that AC power was an economical and workable system, while Edison's impractical DC never got very far off the ground.
		Westinghouse's company was financially weakened, and he had to rescind on the royalty contract he had signed with Tesla.

		Westinghouse also includes a feature that detects when you connect a new source and switches the input there automatically.
		The Westinghouse did pass HQV's racecar test and reproduced the intro from Star Trek: Insurrection with a minimum of moving lines and other interlace artifacts, indicating the presence of 2:3 pull-down detection.

	Westinghouse - Gizmodo
		Because I was kind enough to ask, Westinghouse told me that the TBD price on the 52" TX-52F480S LCD HDTV we mentioned this morning had indeed been determined, and it was $2,499.
		Later today, we'll eyeball-check some 1080p Westinghouse TVs that were announced at CES, including their new flagship, the 52-inch TX-52F480S, which is due in September for an undisclosed but likely relatively rock bottom price.
		In a rather candid interview with CNET, Douglas Woo, the president of Westinghouse Digital, said that LCD (as opposed to plasma, DLP, etc.) is "probably unstoppable." And obvious move from who's livelyhood comes from shilling LCDs.

		"Westinghouse's commitment to increase the amount of educational programming on the CBS Network is particularly important in light of the TV violence study just released by UCLA," explained Dr. Montgomery.

		The Westinghouse capsule was from start to finish a very real attempt to put together a message to the future that had a good chance of surviving five thousand years.
		One of the disadvantages of the Westinghouse capsule was that it was safely buried and therefore probably won't be discovered.
