 The four founding countries led development of the 406 MHz marine EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) in 1982. As an integral part of worldwide search and rescue, the Search And Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) System is operated to detect and locate mariners, aviators, and recreational enthusiasts in distress almost anywhere in the world at anytime and in almost any condition. The SARSAT system uses satellites in low-earth and geostationary orbits. The satellites relay distress signals from emergency beacons to a network of ground stations and ultimately to the U.S. Mission Control Center (USMCC) in Suitland, Maryland. The EPIRB signal would be transmitted from the location of the distress with a Radio Frequency Signal 406 MHz PSK (Phase Shift Key). The data communications is Manchester encoded and the signal has a duration of 0.5 seconds. The signal would then be re-transmitted every 50 seconds. The emergency beacons message is either a 112-bit "short" message or a 144-bit "long" message both including 49 bits of identification plus position information. The data has a training sequence and a frame. For error-control coding the BCH Code is used. Adnan developed Real-time firmware for an embedded CMOS Intel 8051 microprocessor and he designed digital and analog circuits for the receiver. Adnan defined the user interface for the hand-held receiver with a small LCD display, switches and audio-visual indicators. Adnans work entailed extensive coding using assembly language programming, debugging, lab testing and in-circuit-emulation (ICE) for the firmware. An initial prototype was built. And soon thereafter, the manufacturing of these verification receivers began. The project was a success in France. Upon the successful completion of this project his position was phased off and he journeyed back to TURKEY to serve in the ARMY. Later, the PROTEON Company moved in the direction of Local Area Networks (LAN). To visit the Web site, please click here | ||||||||||||||

 .. The invention of the computer mouse and "double-click!" | ||||||||||||||
 Mr. Doug Engelbart was the father of the computer mouse in 1960s at Stanford Research Institute. But, from where did he get this idea, that a personal computer could have a mouse? Who first conceived of the idea??? He got this idea from a seven years old first grade elementary school student. Indeed, student-number 172 Adnan Tuncel, at his Elementary School in İstanbul; Bakırköy Behram Ağa İlkokulu in 1960. And finally in 1983, a personal computer was introduced with a mouse for the first time by Apple Computers. It was an important year for country and mankind. Adnan believed, that he was the first human being, who "double-clicked" for the first time the mouse of a PC in a laboratory for country and mankind. This important moment was never recorded but, it happened during this project at the PROTEON Company, where Adnan was working as an electrical engineer. He stumbled upon double-click, when his project had a few push-button switches. At first, he was trying to do something else. Indeed, he wanted to eliminate the effect of a push-button switch from bouncing twice when he pressed, so that one would not do something twice accidentally. He said: "Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction.." Adnan wrote even a two page lab report about the multiple uses of the mouse, describing: 1. Double-click ("Open Sesame" function) 2. Press & Pull (Scoop function) In this special lab report, he showed a way, how to write software for all personal computers with a mouse. He used the word "Windows®" to describe a new Operating System (OS). These windows would open (appear) and close (disappear) with menus inside the windows to operate a personal computer. The arrow cursor would be used to scroll and select OS commands from the menu. Any item on the menu, which is pointed by the arrow cursor would be marked (reverse imaged) to indicate that a selection is being made. After the selection process, the window would close and the computers screen would return to normal. And in conclusion, he wrote a comment: "I would found a company named Micro-soft™ to write software for all the microcomputers in the world." But later, he forgot all about his thoughts and ideas while serving in the ARMY in TURKEY (1983-84).. Today, Microsoft is the World's biggest Software Company.

Racal-Vadic, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, 06/80-05/82
For a bowl of bean soup: "This mission was accomplished."In the year 1980, Adnan also motivated one of his classmates from High School to work with modems too. His name was Vedat Eyüboğlu, who was at that time a Ph.D. student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Vedat had before completed his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey. Vedat later became a Vice President of MOTOROLA, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and the Founder of the hi-tech Firm Airvana, Inc. When Adnans position at Racal-Vadic was terminated in 1982, he left the Silicon Valley California with an automobile and he drove to Boston, where he became an advisor to ZOOM Telephonics, Inc. by pointing a new direction for this Company in modem(s) and data communications field. Adnan's talk encouraged and motivated the top two executives at ZOOM™ Frank Manning and Peter Kramer by pointing a new direction for their Company.. But, he did not join this Company in Boston. Instead he accepted a position at Proteon, Inc., where he worked on a project for SARSAT (Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking). Adnan's first task was to start up a new modem company in Boston to compete with the British Racal-Milgo and Racal-Vadic in California. And finally, that was the only outcome after a long and difficult journey across the United States, from San Francisco to Boston with a Volkswagen automobile (1982). It was a long road-trip, which lasted nine days.. ZOOM™ was just another small start-up company in Boston; manufacturing speed-dialers for telephones. And, today in 2009-2010, a Fortune 500 company manufacturing modems and other data communication products for the global market. | ||||||||||||||

| Inventions and Ideas: | ||||||||||||||
  When Adnan was still in elementary school, he designed a new concept in construction cranes and he also drew architecture in high-school. When Adnan was still in the third grade elementary school, he was very proud to design the interior architecture of the new Turkish Parliament TBMM in Ankara, Turkey and Broome County Jail in Binghamton, New York. As a kid, his favorite hobby was to design the unique patches for many soccer balls. Adnan had also invented a food and he called it "Pizza". Adnan expressed most of his ideas by drawing like Leonardo..  When he was playing with a flying toy as a kid (1960), he conceived of the idea for a new invention: "A flying vehicle, which would take off vertically and then it could fly further horizontally. Afterwards, it would also land vertically.".. He began sketching his flying vehicle to describe it perfectly to others in broad outline. But, he did not know what to name this flying vehicle. One day his Math and Physics Teacher Mr. Dieter Buttkus at Istanbul German Lyceum had explained to Adnan what the greek word "heli" meant: "Winding, spiral". Adnan remembered right away his flying toy as a kid. Later, he gathered a few of his classmates around him at his High School and he invented a name for his flying vehicle: "Helicopter". Adnan said: "It comes from hell to earth." Also in 1960, Adnan first conceived of the idea to design and build modern airplane engines instead of propellers. He then described these air-engines exactly by sketching as they would be used by modern airplane companies such as Boeing and Airbus. He also drew modern fighter jets for the Air Force. Adnan was never idle as a seven years old student at his elementary school.. He also had a great interest in the racing cars. After seeing the pictures of old racing cars at his School, Adnan was motivated to sketch a new and modern race car. He began drawing a picture of his new race car concept to describe it perfectly in broad outline. He also had to invent a name for this race car: Formula One. This name meant that there was only one formula, which applied to all the racing cars. They were all to be the same design. But, the Americans wanted a different race car of their own. After some careful thought, Adnan sketched a new and uniquely different concept in racing cars for the Americans. It looked like a normal car with a painted number on both sides. And, he also invented a new and different name for it: NASCAR. This name was derived from the Turkish word "NASIL?" and from the English word "CAR"..  When Adnan was six years old, he proposed a major pipeline project to carry petroleum from Baku, Azerbaijan to Ceyhan, Turkey on the coast of Mediterranean Sea. Adnan was simply against the idea of oil-tankers and other ships carrying petroleum through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles in Turkey. And later in 1970, during a Geography Class at İstanbul German Lyceum, Adnan proposed to build a dam on the river Euphrates. The dam would be built both to generate electricity and to irrigate the plains in the region. Arable land in the plains in upper Mesopotamia would be irrigated via gravity-flow with water diverted from the dam through the tunnel system. The dam and the tunnel system were two major components of the project. It was also Adnans Idea in High School to build many containers for international trade. These containers would then be transported by ships, trains (railway) and/or trucks. When his Teacher Mr. Klaus Stolzenberg had asked Adnan: "How would you put these containers from ships onto railroad cars or trucks?" Adnan replied: "With cranes"..  In the year 1970 during a class at his High School, Adnan proposed the single European currency, which he named euro. At the next day, he drew the euro sign and, he gave the drawing to his Teacher Mr. Klaus Stolzenberg at the Istanbul German Lyceum. These electronic cards, which are currently being used as credit cards or debit cards etc., were an idea of ADNAN TUNCEL when he was seven years old (1960). At the time of his invention, Adnan thought that the people could spend the money in their bank account electronically with the use of computer technology. Adnan had also thought, that the package-delivery requirements of the future could not all be handled by a postal service alone. Therefor, Adnan recommended the establishment of two private delivery Companies, which he named: Federal Express (Fed Ex) and United Parcel Service (UPS). After he had drawn Logos for each of these Companies, he chose the colors for their delivery trucks as white and braun..A visitor came to the Elementary School one day to talk to Adnan. The topic was the space travel and the rocket science for NASA. Adnan thought, that it was possible to carry a space shuttle into the outer space by adding two more side-rockets at a slight angle to the main rocket. The space shuttle would then be balanced to take off vertically and follow a straight path upwards into space. Once in the outer space, the shuttle would navigate with three rockets on its back. And, the space shuttle would also have wings to fly back and land on earth. But the visitor, who came to the School, he was very concerned about the re-entering into the earths atmosphere. He said that this vehicle would burn during the re-entering. Adnan argued, that the space shuttle could be protected by a brick like surface. Each of these bricks would be made from a certain material, which would be prepared by baking them in an oven with fire. These bricks would cover all those areas to protect the flying space shuttle and be the heat shield during the re-entering into the earths atmosphere.. Many years later, during a final exam, when he was a senior student at the CORNELL University studying Electrical Engineering (1978), he discovered Manchester Encoding, without knowing that it had been already discovered in ENGLAND at Manchester University.. (Manchester code was first used in serial data communications.) One of his friends at CORNELL University Erhan Kudeki consulted Adnan about dish antennas for DirecTV. And, in high school (the German Lyceum in ISTANBUL), Adnan envisioned such products; door, house and telecommunications, video monitoring for the SSS SIEDLE company in GERMANY (1970). When Adnan was still a young child, he invented many names for the American, European and Japanese corporations and, he designed many logos for them.   | ||||||||||||||
