• Question:-Did one particular photographer take stills of Hedy Lamarr?
  Not only is the actress gorgeous, some of the photos are remarkable!
  
  Answer:-No...there was not one particular photographer credited with her still shots. Any and every photographer that could shoot her, did. She was the most beautiful woman in the world back then and still is, if you ask me!
• Question:-What is the frequency hopping-spread system of actress Hedy Lamarr?
  
  
  Answer:-George Antheil met Hedy Lamar in the summer of 1940, when they were neighbors in Hollywood. They began talking about radio control for torpedoes. The idea itself was not new, but her concept of "frequency hopping" was. Lamarr brought up the idea of radio control. She conceived the idea of hopping from frequency to frequency just like a pianist can play the same notes, but in different octaves.
  
  Antheil's contribution was to suggest the device by which synchronization could be achieved. He proposed that rapid changes in radio frequencies could be coordinated the way he had coordinated the sixteen synchronized player pianos in his Ballet Méanique. The analogy was complete in his mind: By the time the two applied for a patent on a "Secret Communication System," on June 10, 1941, the invention used slotted paper rolls similar to player-piano rolls to synchronize the frequency changes in transmitter and receiver, and it even called for exactly eighty-eight frequencies, the number of keys on a piano. This early version of frequency hopping used a piano-roll to change between 88 frequencies, and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or to jam.

  Frequency hopping is one of two basic modulation techniques used in spread spectrum signal transmission. It is the repeated switching of frequencies during radio transmission, often to minimize the effectiveness of "electronic warfare" - that is, the unauthorized interception or jamming of telecommunications. It also is known as frequency- hopping code division multiple access (FH-CDMA).

  Lamarr and Antheil worked on the idea for several months and then, in December 1940, and, with the help of an electrical engineering professor from the California Institute of Technology, they ironed out its bugs, and the patent was granted on August 11, 1942. It specified that a high-altitude observiation plane could steer the torpedo from above.
  
  Despite Antheil's lobbying, the Navy turned its back on the invention, concluding that the mechanism would have been too bulky to fit into a torpedo. Antheil disagreed; he insisted that it could be made small enough to squeeze into a watch. In the United States Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil, shunned by the Navy, no longer pursued their invention. But in 1957, the concept was taken up by engineers at the Sylvania Electronic Systems Division, in Buffalo, New York. Their arrangement, using, of course, electronics rather than piano rolls, ultimately became a basic tool for secure military communications. It was installed on ships sent to blockade Cuba in 1962, about three years after the Lamarr-Antheil patent had expired. Subsequent patents in frequency changing, which are generally unrelated to torpedo control, have referred to the Lamarr-Antheil patent as the basis of the field, and the concept lies behind the principal anti-jamming device used today, for example, in the U.S. government's Milstar defense communication satellite system.

  Today, spread spectrum devices using micro-chips, make pagers, cellular phones, and, yes, communication on the internet possible. Many units can operate at once using the same frequencies. Most important, spread spectrum is the key element in anti-jamming devices used in the government's 25 billion Milstar system. Milstar controls all the intercontinental missiles in U.S. weapons arsenal. Lamarr was recently (2000, the year she died) given the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Award for their invention. Antheil was also honored; he died in the sixties. Hedy's son accepted the award for her since she no longer makes public appearances. From her Florida apartment where she lived on a pension from the Screen Actor's Guild, Lamarr responded, "It's about time."

• Question:-Did you know this about Hedy Lamarr?
  Turns out Lamarr, along with composer George Antheil, invented a radio-controlled torpedo guidance system in 1941. Together, they patented the system and gave it to the Navy.
  
  Answer:-No, I never knew that and thanks for the information. Wow, I am flabbergasted at her intelligence and talent. Oh, she was so beautiful too.
• Question:-How did Hedy Lamarr die?
  Okay, so i read this book called "What Almost Happened to Hedy Lamarr" by Devra Hills and its a biography.In the end, it says Hedy died when her first husband Gunther came to visit her while she was on a safari. He was obsessed with her and he kept saying stuff like you're coming back home with me. She obviously didn't want to and he had grabbed a scarf she had and wrapped it around her neck and was about to choke her or drag her to the car. She had a revolver and shot him in the stomach. There had been pits dug to save themselves if a wild animal came it would fall into the holes. Hedy and the now shot Gunther fell into the pits and Hedy cracked her neck and died.
  i looked up her death online and it wasn't anything like that. i know the title is what ALMOST happened to Hedy Lamarr but on the back of it, it says biography.Don't they have to tell what really happened if it's a bioraphy? Does anyone know how and when Hedy actually died?
  
  Answer:-january 19 2000 of natural reasons she died in florida

• Question:-What is the maximum temperature a Radio Shack solar cell can withstand?
  I just bought 2 solar cells from Radio Shack (Item#276-0124) and was wanting to surface mount the backs to a protoboard I also got from there. I was wondering, what is the maximum temperature that the cells can withstand before the break? I am using a toaster oven as a soldering oven, so I need to know what is the danger zone for the heat setting. Thank you!
  I have a soldering iron, but I need the cells to be surface mounted to the board, aka why i'm baking them.
  
  Answer:-That is a fascinating idea. I did a little bit of research and it could actually come in quite handy to use a toaster oven as a soldering iron. It's very tedious to solder a lot of components. I found this url which you may have already seen:
  
  http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200006/oven_art.htm
  
  which discusses how to use the oven as a soldering iron. It has some recommendations on temperature. Your best bet would be to take the part numbers of the radio shack parts and google them and then look at the specs on them to see how much heat they can withstand. I did that and found this page however, it didn't provide all the details:
  
  http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/uc/rsk/Support/ProductManuals/2760124_PM_EN.pdf
  
  You might need a solder that melts at a low temperature. That might be your best bet and then buy some spare solar cells and give it a try. What I would do first is heat the oven up and then try melting a small piece of solder first, or as that one link suggested, getting some of the liquid solder type stuff. If it doesn't damage the components, that might be a neat way to run through soldering multiple items fast.
  
  Can you calibrate your temperature? That might be a good thing to do as well.
• Question:-What are the benefits of shopping at Radio Shack?
  My husband doesn't like shopping there. What do you think?
  Why does Comp USA shut down and radio shack stays open?
  
  Answer:-Radio Shack started as a place for hobbyists, ham radio, electronics, and eventually computers.
  
  They moved their model to malls and more consumer goods, ie Cell Phones, TVs, BUT still cater (to some degree) to the home hobbyist. My opinion is that they are making money by the cell phone credits they get (remember they are national and sell a LOT of phones), plus a few bucks on batteries, answering machines, etc.
  
  I, like your husband, dont like to shop there unless it is something I think that only they will carry locally, like electronic components (resistors, boards, switches) because I think they are overpriced on everything else.
  
  CompUSA went under because they just couldnt compete with BestBuy. They had little to no technical support, a limited inventory and very expensive locations, usually in strip malls. They just didnt make any right moves in the last 10 years to keep them competitive, and neglected to make money in services like the Geek Squad does.
• Question:-when to be at radio shack on black friday and when do doors open?

• Question:-What do I need in order to return my phone to Radio Shack under the warranty?
  I have a cell phone that I bought from Radio Shack that doesn't work anymore. When I bought it I purchased the one year warranty as well. Now I need to know what I need in order to exchange the phone under the warranty. I am certain that I no longer have the receipt, seeing as though I bought the phone around 8 months ago.
  
  Answer:-It is quite possible that RS has a record of the sale.
  Go to a RS store with the phone, tell them your store and they should be able to find your record through your name, phone #, or the SN of the phone.
