John Ambrose Fleming (约翰·弗莱明)：In 1904, working for the Marconi company to improve transatlantic radio reception, Fleming invented the first thermionic vacuum tube, the two-electrode diode, which he called the oscillation valve, for which he received a patent on 16 November. This invention of the vacuum tube is often considered to have been the beginning of electronics. Fleming's diode was used in radio receivers and radars for many decades afterwards, until it was superseded by solid state electronic technology more than 50 years later. He is also known for  Fleming's left hand rule and Fleming's right-hand rule.
