Talk:Amar Bose/Archives/2014

Comment

The article reads like an advertisement; it sounds like an appraisal for Bose. A more neutral tone is preferable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.104.246 (talk) 01:08, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Dr. Amar Bose is not an Indian electrical engineer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.184.171.248 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 6 Jun 2005 .

You're quite right, of course; I've corrected it, and overhauled the article in general. In future, though, you could just edit it yourself — that's what Wikipedia is all about. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

He is of course not Indian at all, but American. Born in the USA, and mother American...203.184.41.226 (talk) 21:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Any relation to Jagadis Chandra Bose, the great Scientist and Inventor who ironically was not motivated by money, but rather the sharing of knowledge to all the people of the world? 68.99.51.248 (talk) 13:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC) comment by a fan of science68.99.51.248 (talk) 13:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

The article has no mention about Bose's breakthrough research on Electromagnetic Auto Suspension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.177.88.125 (talk) 10:08, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

The reference to his father as a "freedom revolutionary" is peculiar. I presume that this is an Indian English phrase. As the article should be written in Standard English, I suggest changing this to "revolutionary".203.184.41.226 (talk) 21:36, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Basically, it started with a Purchase

Dr. Bose actually started a concept called "Better Sound Through Research" when he purchased high-end stereo speakers, and found out that the speakers didn't performed unto its words at the ears of Dr. Bose. I had to mention this because if it wasn't for trying out those disappointing stereo speakers, then we wouldn't see the Bose QuietComfort 2 Headphones today. -- Vesther 23:52, 14 July 2005 (UTC) just wondering...........is it possible that amar bose is a distant relative of jagadis chandra bose? (at one time i thought the two actually were the same person, that JAGADIS CHANDRA had founded the bose company years ago.)it would be quite appropriate if there were a "blood" connection between these two radio/sound pioneers. jonathan becker jonbecker03

Rather complimentary article, isn't it?

As I recall, he attributed the motivation for his work with class D amplifiers to the same purchase; he said he was amazed by the amount of heat given off by the vacuum tube amplifiers for his stereo system. In the informal talk he gave on the subject, in about 1967, I recall that he pulled a small circuit board from his shirt pocket, smaller than a pack of cigarettes, which held a 35 Watt amplifier. The drive transistor was in a TO-5 can and had no heat sink. This was pretty unusual at that time. He explained that his solution to the problem of making a stable class D amplifier involved a mix of pulse width and pulse frequency modulation. In essence, after the pulse width reached a lower limit, constant width pulses were generated less frequently. That amplifier was not perfect by any means, but class D amplification has become quite important in the years since then. --AJim (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

A Professor without any significant published papers?

This really sounds strange... I can't find a thing, besides the cited 1 page paper from the 1960's. Are there any more papers published or written by him? Nemissimo (talk) 11:05, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
