Proteon, Inc., Waltham, MA, 06/82-04/84 (merged with NSG Datacom)
An initial prototype was built on time. 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 their Web site, please click here | ||||||||||||||

![]() Mr. Doug Engelbart was the father of the computers 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 attachment 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 when 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 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 mission: "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
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 a Ph.D. student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. 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 in an automobile and he drove to Boston, where he became an advisor to ZOOM Telephonics, Inc. by pointing a new direction to 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 mission 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 his only accomplishment 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 for a bowl of bean soup.. 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. | ||||||||||||||

![]() When Adnan was still in elementary school, he designed and drew 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. 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 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 ships carrying petroleum through the pristine Bosphorus and Dardanelles in Turkey. 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. 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.. One day, during a final exam, when he was a senior student at 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 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 everyone. ![]() | ||||||||||||||
