Seth Boyden: was an American inventor. He was the brother of Uriah A. Boyden.A New England native (born in Foxboro, Massachusetts) who moved to Newark, New Jersey, Boyden perfected the process for making patent leather, created malleable iron, invented a nail-making machine, and built his own steamboat. He is also credited with having invented a cut off switch for steam engines and a method for producing zinc from ore. At the time of his death, he told friends that he had, even at that time, enough experiments on hand to last two whole lifetimes.[1]Boyden began his work with malleable iron in 1820, when he was 32 years old. From observing the behavior of iron that stuck to the walls of his grandfather's forge, he had developed a theory about the heat treatment of iron. He completed his research in 1826, and won an award from the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia two years later.

Seth Henry Neddermeyer            Origin/Culture/Country: American

Seth Henry Neddermeyer: was an American physicist who worked in the Manhattan Project. He had been Carl D. Anderson's student at Caltech. In 1937, he helped discover muons using cloud chamber measurements of cosmic rays.While at Los Alamos, Neddermeyer was an early advocate for development of an implosion technique for assembling a critical mass in an atomic bomb. While implosion was previously suggested by Richard Tolman as early as 1942,[1] and discussed in the introductory lectures given to Los Alamos scientists by Robert Serber, Neddermeyer was one of the first to urge its full development. Unable to find much initial enthusiasm for the concept amongst his fellow Los Alamos scientists, Neddermeyer presented the first substantial technical analysis of implosion in late April 1943. Though many remained unimpressed, Robert Oppenheimer appointed Neddermeyer the head of a new group to test implosion.[2] Neddermeyer embarked on an intensive series of experiments testing cylindrical implosions.

Seth Eugene Meek            Origin/Culture/Country: American
