Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement. Kibble, who worked for the Division of Electrical Science at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, Middlesex, U.K., prior to his retirement, is being recognized for his work in pioneering experiments and techniques in the field of fundamental electrical metrology, which led to the realization of the International System of Units. Sponsored by Keithley Instruments in memory of the company's founder, the award is presented for outstanding contribution in the field of electrical measurement. It consists of a bronze medal, a certificate, and an honorarium. Criteria considered by the award's IEEE Evaluation Committee include innovation or development, social value, uniqueness of concept, other technical accomplishments, and the quality of the nomination. The award is administered through the Technical Field Award Council of the IEEE Awards Board and is independent of Keithley Instruments. Harris to Honor Richard Buckley with Fellow AwardRichard Buckley has been named the 2009 recipient of the Harris Fellow Award, the highest recognition for engineering achievement at Harris Corp. Buckley, a senior scientist with Harris RF Communications division in Rochester, New York, was presented with the award at the company's annual Fellows Dinner April 27. A 25-year veteran of Harris, Buckley is being honored for his technical expertise, leadership skills, and innovative, continuous contributions in achieving and sustaining Harris Corporation's leadership in the tactical radio market. His radio communications designs have set the industry standard for multiband RF performance. In addition, Buckley is among the key technical contributors to the success of Harris Falcon II® and Falcon III® multiband manpack radios. "Harris tactical radios have long been the solution of choice for superior performance and reliability on the battlefield," said Howard L. Lance, Harris chairman, CEO and president. "Rich's innovations in RF power amplifier technology have been invaluable in helping Harris to achieve and sustain our technical leadership position in the tactical radio market worldwide." AR Expands Product Applications Team Hannon Reporting three additions to its product applications team is AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation of Souderton, Pennsylvania. Michael Hannon has been promoted to product applications engineer; Jerry Joseph and Rob Rowe have each been named product applications specialist for transient and conducted immunity test systems.  Joseph Hannon joined AR in 2006 as a test technician. He is a graduate of Lincoln Technical Institute with an associate degree in electronics engineering. His experience includes the design and development of semi-rigid, flexible and hand-formable coaxial cable assemblies. Joseph holds a master of science degree in electrical engineering from Lehigh University. He did his undergraduate work at The Pennsylvania State University, where he majored in electrical design engineering technology.  Rowe Rowe, also a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University, holds a degree in both electrical engineering technology and biomedical engineering technology. Rowe also brings three decades of industry experience to his position at AR. As product line applications specialists, Rowe and Joseph will provide product applications support to customers, along with being responsible for technical training, technical writing, and guidance for product development for AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation's transient and conducted immunity products.
