Well they have , quite a few ; in rather diverse subjects though.

Unknown to me in any personal way.
EU>I suppose u never heard of Alfred Nobel??? as in Nobel Prize?

The name is familiar ; an article on this appears in the magazine
Scientific American at least once a year.

If I was using a palm top I might not require ball bearings ,
to make a more spherical bearing one might fabricate them in
the low gravity environment of a space station ; Silicon
crystals grown there might also be useful.
EU>Certainly you have heard of Ericsson co.??? as in telephone???
EU>You do have telephones where you are, right??? well, maybe that
EU>is presumptive of me...I'm guessing its rather backwoods where

Yes the name Ericsson and Isaccson are known to me , most people
here , as in Tibet ; seem to be going towards mobile communications.
We haven't installed fibre-optic cable straight to the telephone
subscribers , this is something they have planned for India .
I'd say that in quite a few ways this is a backwaters.
