Wernher von Braun. Wernher Magnus Maximilian, Freiherr von Braun (March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German rocket engineer and space architect. He was one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology in Germany during World War II and, subsequently, in the United States. He is credited as being the "Father of Rocket Science". In his 20s and early 30s, von Braun was the central figure in the Nazis' rocket development program, responsible for the design and realization of the V-2 combat rocket during World War II.

After the war, he and some select members of his rocket team were taken to the United States as part of the then-secret Operation Paperclip. Von Braun worked on the United States Army intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) program before his group was assimilated by NASA. Early life[edit] Wernher von Braun was an accomplished amateur musician who could play Beethoven and Bach from memory. In 1930, von Braun attended a presentation given by Auguste Piccard. Michael J. Towards a single-chip, implantable RFID system: is a single-cell radio possible? Abstract We present an overview of progress towards single-chip RFID solutions. To date heterogeneous integration has been appropriate for non-biological systems. However, for in-vivo sensors and even drug delivery systems, a small form factor is required. We discuss fundamental limits on the size of the form factor, the effect of the antenna, and propose a unified single-chip RFID solution appropriate for a broad range of biomedical in-vivo device applications, both current and future.

Fundamental issues regarding the possibility of single cell RF radios to interface with biological function are discussed. 1 Introduction When James Clerk Maxwell discovered the displacement current, hence completing Maxwell’s equations, in 1865, the stage was set for the wireless transmission of information. The next 100 years will see a similar revolution in the integration of information technology and biotechnology, also called biomedical engineering. Fig. 1 Single cell radio concept 2.1 Small chips.
