Kornelis Antonie (Kees) Schouhamer Immink (born 18 December 1946) is a Dutch scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur, who pioneered and advanced the era of digital audio, video, and data recording, including popular digital media such as Compact Disc, DVD and Blu-ray Disc.〔(National Academy of Engineering )〕 He has been a prolific and influential engineer, who holds more than 1100 US and international patents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Immink’s home page )〕 A large portion of the commonly-used audio and video playback and recording devices use technologies based on his work. His contributions to coding systems assisted the digital video and audio revolution, by enabling reliable data storage at information densities previously unattainable.〔 Immink received several tributes that summarize the impact of his contributions to the digital audio and video revolution. Among the accolades received are the Edison Medal "for a career of creative contributions to the technologies of digital video, audio, and data recording",〔 and an individual Technology Emmy award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).〔(Winners 2003 Emmy Award. )〕〔(CEA Digital audio pioneers )〕 Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands bestowed him a knighthood in 2000. Currently, Immink holds the position of president of Turing Machines Inc, which was founded in 1998. During his career, Immink, in addition to his practical contributions, has contributed to information theory.〔( Immink’s literature )〕〔(IEEE Information Theory Society Golden Jubilee Awards for Technological Innovation )〕 He wrote over 120 articles and four books, including ''Codes for Mass Data Storage Media''.〔(Codes for Mass Data Storage Systems. (three editions) )〕〔(Codes for Mass Data Storage Systems (Chinese). )〕 He has been an adjunct professor at the Institute for Experimental Mathematics, University of Duisburg and Essen, Germany, since 1994, as well as affiliated with the National University of Singapore (NUS) as a visiting professor since 1997. ==Education== Immink obtained an Engineer's degree (Ir.) in electrical engineering (1974, cum laude) and a PhD degree (1985) from Eindhoven University of Technology on a thesis entitled ''Properties and Constructions of Binary Channel Codes'' .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Properties and Constructions of Binary Channel Codes, PhD Thesis, 1985 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kees Schouhamer Immink」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
