Now what you hear is not a test - I'm rappin about Black History
And me, the groove, and G Nation are gonna try to educate like the rest
And introduce you the man, simple known as James E. West
See, I am Tech Support, and I'd Like to Say Hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown,The purple and yellow.Without this man you couldn't hear a voice,and along with Gerhard M. Sessler his friend.
They made it possible to rock a mic, and bust a rhyme to no end.
Ok, I'm done...
James E. West along with his colleague, Gerhad Sessler, developed the mic or the Electroacoustic Transducer electret Microphone; which they got a patent for in 1962 while working at Bell. It was small, lightweight, cost effective, acoustical accuracy and high performance and is used in 90% of microphones today. This tech is also found in telephones, tape recorders, camcorders, baby monitors, and even hearing aids! West owns over 250 patents on microphones and other related discoveries involving polymer-foil electrets. So, thanks to him G Nation can rock the mike, bringing you shows and entertainment!In 1997 West was appointed president-elect of the Acoustical Society and joined the National Academe of Engineering in 1998. In 1999, he and Sessler were inducted into the Nation Inventors Hall of Fame. West encourage to get African American Women and students to pursue careers in science and technology. Not only was West an inventor but he is also a published author and contribute to a number of scientific books and papers. West went on to retire from Bell in 2001 and joined Johns Hopkins as a research professor at the school's Whiting School of Engineering in the electrical/computer engineering department; where he serves to this day.
Black History Month may be coming to end but it can be talked about and researched everyday of they year.
