I-Inventor ye-TTY
Ngaphambi kokuba sithumele imibiko esheshayo, i-Skype, nokuthumela imiyalezo, abantu abangezwa kahle kwakudingeka bathembele kudivayisi ebizwa ngokuthi umshini wokubhala ucingo, noma i-TTY. I-TTY yaba khona ngenxa yomuntu oyisithulu ogama lakhe linguRobert Weitbrecht, owasungula idivayisi.
Ukuphila
U-Weitbrecht wazalwa ngo-1920 futhi wafa ngo-1983. Wazalwa eyisithulu, wayenenkinga yokufunda ukukhuluma futhi wayethonywa ngenxa yokukhubazeka kwakhe.
Wakhula waba yi-astronomer, i-physicist, kanye no-opharetha wenethiwekhi yomsakazo ovumelekile. Abantu abaningi abazi ukuthi naye wasebenza kumsebenzi weManhatten futhi wasungula counter Geiger ukukala umsakazo. Kodwa-ke, kwaba nakho kwakhe njengo-opharetha wenethiwekhi yomsakazo owaholela ekwakhiweni kwe-TTY.
I-TTY
I-Weitbrecht yathuthukisa isithakazelo ku-Morse code, njengoba yamvumela ukuba akhulume nabantu abazwa nge-radio. Ngo-1950, wathola umsakazo womsakazo owayengakwazi ukuthola imiyalezo. Ayikwazanga ukusetshenziselwa ucingo oluvamile. U-Weitbrecht wakwazi ukuguqula lo mshini we-telepewriter ukuze athumele imilayezo, futhi.
Abantu abayizithulu ababeyazi ngomsebenzi kaWeitbrecht bamcela ukuthi alungise umsakazo we-radio ukuze angasetshenziswa kumzila wefoni ovamile. Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yomsebenzi, u-Weitbrecht wagcina esephumelela ngo-1964. Wakha ikhamphani ye-acoustic evumela ukusebenzisa ucingo nge-TTY.
Ngo-May 1964, u-Weitbrecht wenza ucingo olude olude ne-TTY. Ukulungiswa okuqhubekayo kobuchwepheshe kubangele i-Weitbrecht Modem.
Ifa
U-Weitbrecht Communications, umsabalazi wezinsiza zokulalela zokusiza , ama-TTY, nezinye izinto zokusebenza kuthiwa yigama lakhe.
I-TDI inhlangano yezithulu izithameli zinikezela iRobert H.
I-Weitbrecht Telecommunications Access Award kubantu abenza umehluko omkhulu ekufinyeleleni kwezokuxhumana nokuxhumana kwezokuxhumana.
Amadokhumenti
Inqolobane ye-Gallaudet University ibamba amanye amaphepha ka-Weitbrecht. Enye iphepha elinjalo "Imiyalelo Yokusetshenziswa Kokusetshenziswa Kwezingcingo Nge-Telepinter Equipment ngaphezu koMakhalekhukhwini." Ama-archives nawo abamba ukuchofoza nge-Weitbrecht nesithombe sokugcina.
