MegaMemory MegaMemory is a commercial system sold through infomercials that claimed to boost memory via learning mnemonic techniques, developed by Kevin Trudeau. It was one of a range of products that the Federal Trade Commission prosecuted for fraud. Trudeau claimed that "help anyone achieve a photographic memory, even people with learning disabilities or low IQ's". The FTC found that "the memory system would not enable users to achieve a photographic memory, and the advertising claims were false." Trudeau, along with other marketers, settled out of court for $1.1 million.

He was an early advocate and developer of Lemaître's Big Bang theory. He discovered a theoretical explanation of alpha decay via quantum tunneling, and worked on radioactive decay of the atomic nucleus, star formation, stellar nucleosynthesis and Big Bang nucleosynthesis (which he collectively called nucleocosmogenesis), and molecular genetics.

Gilbert Vernam Gilbert Sandford Vernam (3 April 1890 – 7 February 1960) was a Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1914 graduate and AT&T Bell Labs engineer who, in 1917, invented an additive polyalphabetic stream cipher and later co-invented an automated one-time pad cipher. Vernam proposed a teleprinter cipher in which a previously prepared key, kept on paper tape, is combined character by character with the plaintext message to produce the ciphertext. To decipher the ciphertext, the same key would be again combined character by character, producing the plaintext.

Kim Peek Laurence Kim Peek (November 11, 1951 – December 19, 2009) was an American savant. Known as a "megasavant", he had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the autistic savant character Raymond Babbitt in the movie "Rain Man". While Peek was previously diagnosed with autism, it is now thought that he instead had FG syndrome.

MegaMek MegaMek is an open source, turn-based strategy computer game that simulates the "Classic BattleTech" board game. "MegaMek" is not licensed by or affiliated with Topps or Catalyst Game Labs, the owners and publishers of the "BattleTech" line, but is nonetheless a faithful simulation of the game. Exceptions are a few trademarked items changed by the developers (e.g., changing "'Mech" to "Mek").

Richard S. Muller Dr. Richard Stephen Muller (born May 5, 1933) is an American professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of the University of California at Berkeley. He made contributions to the founding and growth of the field of MicroElectromechanical Systems (MEMS). His seminal contribution of polysilicon sacrificially-released beams in 1982 led to a class of micromanufacturing process called surface micromachining. This process preceded the creation of low cost, mass-produced commercial micro accelerometers, which are used in automotive collision sensors for airbag deployment. Together with Richard White, he created BSAC (Berkeley Sensors and Actuators Center), an organization that produced many generations of academic researchers and intellectual properties in the MEMS field, a field that in 2013 accounted for multi-billion dollar revenue worldwide. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering.
