Morse, Samuel

Morse, Samuel patented the disappearing filament optical pyrometer in 1899. 

Morse, Samuel E B. (1791-1872) An artist and inventor born in Massachusetts, Morse painted portraits and taught art at the City University of New York before experimenting with electricity. In the mid-1830 s, he designed the components of a practical telegraph—a sender, receiver, and a code to translate signals into numbers and words—and in 1844 sent the first message via wire. Within a decade, the telegraph had spread across America and sub-sequendy around the world. The invention would inspire such later advancements in communication as radio, the Teletype, and the fax machine.

American inventors. Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail first demonstrate practical telegraphy. 

But the extent of the web of criminal networks put in place by Palmerston could have come out of a Gothic horror story, American counterintelligence specialists of the time, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Samuel Morse (1), knew the problem well.

Trow, 1862) Samuel Morse, "A Foreign Conspiracy against the Liberties of the United States" (New York originally published by the New York Observer, 1835) see also the soon-to-be-published book, The First American Intelligence Service (New York Campaigner Publications). Morse signed all his published articles under the name "Brutus."... 

For many years. Meases 1804 soybean report was considered the earliest citation in American literature (Piper Morse, 1916). However, the 1983 publication by Hymowitz and Harlan clearly demonstrated that the introduction of the soybean into the Colony of Georgia by Samuel Bowen in 1765 was 39 years earlier than the Mease publication. Yet, Web sites and soybean commodity literature continue to cite Meases publication as the earliest introduction (Hymowitz Shurtleff, 2005). 

As the quantum theory of atomic structure came to be better understood and electricity better controlled, electronic theory became much more important. Spurred by the success of the electromagnetic telegraph of American inventor Samuel Morse (1791-1872), scientists sought other applications. The first major electronic application of worldwide importance was wireless radio, first demonstrated by Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937). Radio depended on electronic devices known as vacuum tubes, in which structures capable of controlling... 

The era of electrical communication started in 1837 with the invention of the telegraph by Samuel F. B. Morse. The telegraph system used the Morse code, which represents letters and numbers by a coded combination of dots and dashes. The encoded symbols were conveyed by sending short and long pulses of electricity over a copper wire at a rate of tens of pulses per second. The telegraph and Morse code dramatically improved the speed, quahty, and information capacity of transmission, although well-trained and skilled operators were required. 

By the end of the nineteenth century, applications of electric power were well established and proliferating. Communication by telegraph, demonstrated by Samuel F. B. Morse in 1843, had been established between North America and Europe by means of submarine cables. One-half million telephones were in use (2), and electric lighting for homes and industries was in growing demand. Electricity was being used to drive trains and street cars and to run the machines of new industries.
