His invention portfolio comprises more than 400 issued and published patent applications spanning a wide spectrum of science and technology disciplines contributing to more than 50 published papers as well a numerous conference presentations. Many of his inventive solutions became products, while others were licensed or sold. A sampling of his multidisciplinary science and technology contributions include: His pioneering investigations leading to PhD thesis entitled “Characteristics of Metal-Barrier-Metal Diodes and Their Applications” he carried out fundamental theoretical and experimental work on quantum mechanically tunneling. His mission was to elucidate the real mechanism behind the ultra-high speed, femtosecond, point contact diodes made from 5 nanometer tungsten tips in contact with gold, platinum or nickel. His confirmation of the tunneling mechanism was relevant to accurate speed of light measurement and the development of scanning tunneling microscope, STM. Invented, developed and marketed (at HYPRES which he founded in 1983) the world fastest and most sensitive oscilloscope based on superconducting Josephson Junction microelectronics cryogenic technology and developed and demonstrated pico-second speed micro-chips performing logic, memory, and other cryogenic systems.〔https://www.google.com/search?tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininventor%3A%22Sadeg+M.+Faris%22+desalin#hl=en&tbm=pts&q=ininventor:%22Sadeg+M.+Faris%22+josephson〕 Pioneered the field of 3D stereoscopic displays based on the micro-polarizer array Pol, and micro-retarder array technologies.〔https://www.google.com/?tbm=pts&gws_rd=ssl#tbm=pts&q=sadeg+faris+micro-polarizer〕 His company VRex, Inc. developed, produced several 3D products including: The world first 3D single lens projector family:,〔http://www.stereo3d.com/displays.htm〕〔http://www.stereo3d.com/projection.htm#vrex〕 and 3D cameras, 3D flat panel displays, and content. In 1993, the world first 3D LCD-based notebook computer was introduced, garnering the Best of Comdex Award for that year. 〔http://www.defense.gov/Speeches/Speech.aspx?SpeechID=884〕 〔https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=best+of+comdex+1992+vrex&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#rls=en&q=%22best+of+comdex%22+++vrex〕 〔http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=956815〕〔https://archive.org/details/episode_1021〕 〔http://www.media.mit.edu/spi/SPIPapers/sab/upol-3D.pdf〕 〔http://www.google.ca/patents/US5844717〕 〔http://www.google.com/patents/US6624863〕 The 3D displays based on micro-pols were developed and marketed under a license by Arisawa Manufacturing under the brand name XPol.〔http://www.arisawa.co.jp/en/products/3d01.html〕 Since 2011 passive 3D TVs based on micropolarizers have become industry standard and are sold and marketed by LG,〔http://lgdnewsroom.com/products-solutions/tv/232〕 Panasonic, Vizio, TCL and many others selling millions of units around the world every year. Innovative contributions to the field of electrochemistry leading to advanced energy systems, metal-air (zinc, aluminum and magnesium fuels) fuel cells, NiZn rechargeable batteries, and material innovations, 43 patents.〔http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=faris%2C+sadeg&FIELD1=INNM&co1=AND&TERM2=fuel+cell&FIELD2=&d=PTXT〕〔https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininventor:%22Sadeg+M.+Faris%22#q=ininventor:%22Sadeg+M.+Faris%22+metal+fuel+cell&hl=en&tbm=pts&start=10〕 They represent solutions to problems others could not solve, leading to innovative enabling technologies, such as ultra-high power low cost air diffusion electrode (cathode with 3D catalysis), ultra-high ionic conductivity solid state membrane and the RefRec refuel-able rechargeable system. These, in combination with other components, delivered zinc fuel cell systems capable of 500-1000 mile range at energy cost of about $0.1/kWh. With a mere $60 million investment, pilot lines were built to manufacture and sell the key components, at a time when billions of dollars were squandered on hydrogen fuel cells, see the section zinc-air vs. the “hydrogen economy”. Ultrafast, low cost, error free, DNA sequencing invention that will sequence organism genomes (humans, animals, plants, and microorganism) in under one minute. The increased accuracy has the potential to revolutionize personalized medicine by deciphering the sources of many diseases.〔https://www.genomeweb.com/sequencing/reveo-joins-genomics-x-prize-race-aims-sequence-genome-proteome-and-epigenome-pe〕 〔http://www.reveo.com/node/46〕 〔http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v453/n7195/full/453687a.html〕 〔https://thefutureofbiomolecules.wordpress.com/tag/sadeg-faris/〕 〔http://thefutureofbiomolecules.wordpress.com/〕 〔http://www.nsti.org/Nanotech2006/sponsors.html?id=268〕 〔https://www.google.com/patents/US20090065471?dq=20090065471&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eVahVJzlHYmnNrfYgNAG&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAA〕 〔http://www.google.com.gh/patents/US7765607〕 〔http://www.biotechsciencenews.com/Event/117-Exploring-Next-Generation-Sequencing%3A-Applications-and-Case-Studies-%28Oct-17-18%29.html〕 Conducted fundamental experiments leading to an advanced understanding of photosynthesis efficiency limitations and problems, and invented systems and methods to increase food productivity including San-Soil 3D multilevel farming technologies.

Watson Research Center, where he made significant science and technology contributions, earning him 7 Invention Achievement Awards in eight years, and an Outstanding Innovation Award for his invention of the world fastest (picosecond) and most sensitive (micro-volt) oscilloscope. His invention of the Quiteron, was IBM Invention of the Year in 1983. And in 2009, the New York Intellectual Property Law Association named Dr. Faris, 2009 Inventor of the Year,〔http://www.nyipla.org/Bulletin/AugSep09.pdf〕 At HYPRES, the first company he founded 1983, many of the superconducting inventions became commercial products including the Picosecond Signal Processors, PSP 1000 and the PSP 750, the Primary Voltage Standard http://www.hypres.com/products/voltage-standard/ and many others. He established the world first and only complete superconducting electronics micro-fabrication facility, fort he production of integrated circuits. This foundry has been made available to commercial customers. At Reveo, Dr. Faris established in 1991, a multi-disciplinary “InventQbation” laboratory where inventive technology solutions to problems are in turn spun-out as independent businesses. From 1991 until the divestiture in 2008, many companies were spun-out including,〔http://www.reveo.com/technologies〕 VRex, eVionyx, Chelix, Xellerion, PetComm and InventtQjaya in Malaysia. The latter was established as result of an invitation by the then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir who admired the InvnetQbation business model and desired to clone for his mission 2020. That is the year he wanted his country to become an original contributor to science and technology, instead of a mere consumer of Western science and technology. As the 15-month report card illustrates, an astonishing rapid accomplishments were achieved toward the mission. "/>〔http://www.scribd.com/doc/63522860/Exhibit-G-1-KPIs-Met-First-Year-Report-Card-v3-0〕 However, in spite of that, the endeavor became mired in controversy as a result of bitter political feud and vendettas between rival Prime Ministers. Caught in the “cross fire”, Dr. Faris has been the recipient of vicious libelous and slanderous attacks in the Malaysia press and in blogs. ==From Tripoli to America== Dr. Faris was born in Tripoli, Libya on September 28, 1945 to illiterate parents who had a total of 12 children of who only 7 survived due high infant mortality in Post WWII Libya. When his father died at age 11, he was admitted to the Islamic Arts and Crafts School,〔http://abughilan.blogspot.com/2007/02/islamic-arts-and-crafts-school-of_10.html〕 an institution founded by the Ottomans in 1899 for the orphan and needy children. There, his full day included, academic classes, apprenticeship in making furniture, repairing automobile electric subsystems, and playing clarinet in the school band. The hands-on training and curiosity influenced him to seek the science curricula at Tripoli Secondary School. Upon graduating in the top 10 in the national high school examination, he earned a full scholarship from Esso Libya (now ExxonMobil) and later the Libyan Government, and the opportunity to come to the United States to study. He went on to receive his BS, MS and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from University of California Berkeley. 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「Sadeg Faris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
