V02 Standards & Compensators

Before the advent of digital electronic voltmeters, accurate measurement of a voltage or impedance was achieved by applying the compensation method. The unknown quantity is compared with an adjustable known one of the same kind. The known quantity is changed until the difference is zero, which is detected by a sensitive null-indicator. In equilibrium, the unknown quantity is equal to the known one. In this way, voltages, currents and impedances can be accurately measured. Instruments for voltage and current are called compensators. They comprise an accurate voltage source (reference cell) and a resistance network with adjustable topology, providing a range of attenuation factors. The instrument for measuring a resistance (impedance) is called a bridge. It contains one or more reference resistors (impedances) and a stepwise adjustable resistance, called a resistance decade box. Examples of compensators, bridges, reference voltage sources, reference resistors and decade banks are all displayed in this cabinet. More types are stored in the depository of the Historical Collection of the Ampère Foundation.

V32 Telecommunications

Telephony began with Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone in 1876, utilizing wired connections for voice transmission. Throughout the 20th century, various technologies emerged, including manual telephony, automatic switching systems, and wireless radio connections. Mobile telephony took shape in the late 1940s and 1950s with the development of the first mobile communication systems. However, the first commercial mobile phones were launched in the 1980s, which were large and heavy. The real breakthrough came in the 1990s with the advent of digital technologies, leading to the development of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and the first smartphones in the early 2000s. Since then, mobile telephony has experienced exponential growth, with continuous innovations in connectivity, functionality, and wireless technologies, including the rise of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.

V33 A walk through Computer History

After the first commercial digital computers came into operation in the 1950s, a technologically driven development followed that continues unabated at a rapid pace, still 70 years later. When we look back, we see that computer equipment and its embedding in daily life has gone through a complete renewal almost every decade. With the continuous increase in processing speed and memory storage, the development of programming languages, algorithms, storage and control techniques is taking off at a high flight. And with it the application possibilities.
A chronological walk through computer land can never fully show the variety of developments. The composition of this display case aims to typify different periods and is intended as a "feast of recognition" of earlier times.

V36 ISFET Lab-on-a-chip

This showcase reflects the remarkable story of the ISFET sensor: its invention and the advanced applications resulting from it. Piet Bergveld, who studied at the TH Eindhoven and worked as graduation student at the Philips Laboratory, discovered the potential of a MOS-transistor to measure the ion flow in liquid substances. It enabled a broad scala of biomedical applications. Nowadays, integrated circuits with millions of ISFETs are embedded in medical instruments. They function as a kind of biochemical camera. Piet Bergveld - being retired after a career as professor at the UT - has composed this exposition in retrospect. The documents and links provide general information. Specific details are given along with the exposed items.

V38 Boulitte Electrocardiograph

The Boulitte Electrocardiograph is one of the first commercial, medical instruments to observe the electrical activity of the human heart. The cardiograph produces an ECG on film, an electrocardiogram, often simply called a heart film. The electrocardiograph as shown here, is the last version made by the French company Boulitte around the 30th of the previous century. The electrocardiograph is based on the invention of 1924 Nobel Prize winner prof. W. Einthoven. He constructed in his laboratory at the University of Leiden the first system to record an ECG.
