Billy Horton Elected To Engineering Academy
Billy Horton a native of
Bartlett has been elected to
the National Academy of
Engineering one of the
highest professional
distinctions an engineer can
earn.
Horton is presently a
visiting professor of
mechanical engineering at
Case Western Reserve
University's Case Institute of
Technology in Cleveland
Ohio
Horton's major ac-
complishments are the in-
vention of fluid amplification
and his pioneering con-
tributions to signal
processing.
Fluid amplification has led
to a wide range of improved
control systems including
those used for aircraft
stabilization respirators and
jet thrust reversing. In this
method fluids replace
moving parts to make control
systems work resulting in
more rugged systems that
can better operate in such
extreme environments as
high temperatures and
nuclear radiation.
In his signal processing
work Horton introduced the
idea of using random noise in
a radar system to measure
distance. Similar techniques
are used in present-day long-
range communications
systems including those
involved In Interplanetary
communications.
Horton spent 23 years of his
career as a civilian
researcher with the Harry
Diamond Laboratories
(originally called the
Orhnancc Division of the
national Bureau of Stan-
dards) a U.S. Army
research and engineering
institute in Washington D.C.
Beginning as project
engineer Horton eventually
became technical director a
position he held for 13 years
lie retired from the Army in
1974 and joined Case Tech in
1975.
Horton has been a prolific
inventor In diverse fields and
is the holder of 20 patents.
Three of his patented in-
ventions arc a "light
disrupter" that protects the
eyes from laser radiation and
two types of open-end rat-
cheting wrenches that can fit
any size nut. Other inventions
include special eye glasses
for semi-blind persons
foldablc tables a rotary
pump and a tire tread pat-
tern. At Case Tech Horton is
teaching two undergraduate
courses and continues to
search for answers to
engineering problems. In one
project he is working on a
vehicular suspension system
he hopes will make the ever-
Increasing number of small
cars ride smoother.
Horton has received a
number of awards including
the U.S. Army Exceptional
Civilian Service Award the
Distinguished Civilian
Service Award of the
Department of Defense.
