Together with George Smith, a co-worker at Bell Labs in New Jersey, they have invented CCD&#160;(Charge-Coupled Device), a key component in digital sensor technology that was both revolutionary and widely applicable.

		<description><![CDATA[If Information is &#34;Data, correlated&#34; then Knowledge is &#34;Information, transformed&#34;. The transformation from Information to Knowledge is an exercise of the brain that, once understood, could shed light on the elusive process of capturing the tacit knowledge of business and corporate smarts.
