Daniel [oeconomist.com] said...: Many years ago, I described a way of encoding a signal to a friend at Bell Labs. A bit later, he told me that 20 years earlier, some engineers at Bell Labs had had the very same idea. However, as he explained, they discovered that 20 years before that, the very same idea had been patented by … Heddy Lamar (with a coïnventor).

She also had a patent on a bomb sight.

Yeah, she was devastatingly beautiful, but there was even better reason to fall for this one. :-D; 4 November 2010 19:41
