The Pittsburgh Steelers was crushed by San Francisco 49ers the night before. Merril Hoge played for Pittsburgh, and Ron Jaworski likes to jab him about being a Steelers apologist. There's a lot more to NFL Films Inc. NFL Films has every game since 1965 on film, highlights of every game since 1949 and footage dating to the 1894 Princeton-Rutgers game, which was filmed by Thomas Edison. A half-dozen TV shows are filmed here. Still, the business here is football, and when news breaks mid-afternoon that soccer player Keyshawn Johnson has been deactivated for the season, the NFL Matchup office feels like the newsroom of a daily paper.

An introduction is presented in which the editors discuss various reports within the issue on topics including the railroad rate decision of the American Interstate Commerce Commission, the Leeds and Northrup manufacturing company's employee plan, and an interview with inventor Thomas A. Edison.

The article presents the approach to teamwork and collaboration of scientist Thomas A. Edison. It discusses Edison's preference for small team, process of collaboration and belief in diversity for collaborative success. It examines midnight lunch as a means of connecting and bonding with his different project teams, the Black Maria prototype movie studio near the front gate of West Orange Laboratory and philosophy of neutrality when members present their views.

Several excerpts from the articles in the previous issues of the periodical "Forbes," including one on scientist Thomas A. Edison, another on requirement of metals in automobile manufacturing and one on bank loan services, are presented.

The article presents a quotation by U.S. inventor Thomas A. Edison on being an inventor.

The article presents speeches by notable people on issues related to business. Inventor and scientist Thomas A. Edison said that a 36-year-old man is just beginning to get down to business, while Julius H. Barnes, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, discussed the need for the U.S. to secure in its own markets an equal chance to the products of its own high wages. The speeches by German Foreign Minister Herr Stresemann and Dennison Manufacturing Co. president Henry S. Dennison are also provided.

This article focuses on the impact of the prestige of engineers on their inventiveness in the past. In 1888, George Westinghouse was investigating a motor for his alternating current electrical system. He had developed ac power two years earlier, and it offered a transmission advantage over the direct current system of Thomas Edison: The introduction of a transformer, to step voltages up or down, permitted efficient power transmission over longer distances. Edison's system still had the upper hand, however, because of the dc motor. Direct current not only could light up the dark, it could also do work, like driving streetcars and factory machinery. If the 1860s and 1870s encompassed the Great Railway Age in America, the decades following could be called the Age of Ingenuity. This period in American industrialization produced a flurry of inventions in machine tools, factory equipment, rubber and steel products, and communications devices.If engineers were not inventing new products, they were busy improving upon the systems and processes introduced earlier in England, France, and Germany.

The article offers information on some of the popular members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 1884 including Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Nikola Tesla.

A photograph of inventor Thomas Edison, who is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), is presented.

The article presents information on the designs and inventors of certain products, which are simple to use, yet very functional. In 1879, inventor Thomas Edison used carbonized bamboo for the filament in lightbulbs, resulting in longer-lasting bulbs. The pencil, invented in 1565, is a core of graphite encased in a hollowed-out tube of wood. The bottle cap was introduced by inventor William Painter in 1892. It locks onto the bottle's mouth, while the cork inside prevents air from leaking out.

The article discusses the role of innovation in the beauty products industry in New Jersey. It mentions the use of social media tools by all major companies to interact with consumers. It notes that innovation in the state was started with Thomas Edison, who established his final and most comprehensive laboratory and factory complex in the state. It cites several companies with a presence in the state including Johnson & Johnson, Colgate- Palmolive Co., and L'Oréal SA.

This article reports that modern analysis technology allows engineers to answer what-if questions that would have been impractical, or perhaps impossible. One can model the soil in a computer and analyze its ability to remain stable under a variety of conditions. Engineers at LifeFitness in Franklin Park, Illinois, follow scientists Thomas Edison's testing dictum, although they've upgraded his design-test-redesign method for modern times by merging simulated analysis with real-world testing. The company makes workout machines like treadmills and stair-steppers for both cardiovascular and weight-bearing workouts at home or at the gym. Of course, the company field-tests its equipment at the places where it's used the most.

The article presents the author's insights on Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com Inc. It mentions that Benioff's contribution becomes deeper than others for he was the one who has worked out how to alter the software market's paradigm. It cites that it is sensible to put Benioff in the pantheon including Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. It mentions that Benioff's Salesforce.com is a billion-dollar company wherein it symbolizes a paradigm of business evolution.

The article focuses on the significance of inventor Thomas Alva Edison, who used direct current (DC) power in his many inventions, in dentistry. It notes that the constant flow of DC gives X-ray equipment with more continuity in radiation exposure each time. According to the author, with DC unit, several dentists have related a difference in sharpness and clarity over images generated by their alternating current (AC) machines.
