Yeh dil mange more..

adMad Trivia Fortnight #6
This material consists of many microscopic crystals of iodoquinine sulphate (herapathite) embedded in a transparent nitrocellulose polymer film. The needle-like crystals are aligned during manufacture of the film by stretching or by applying electric or magnetic fields. With the crystals aligned, the sheet is dichroic: it tends to absorb light which is polarised parallel to the direction of the crystal alignment, but transmits light which is polarised perpendicular to it. The resultant electric field of an electromagnetic wave (such as light) determines its polarisation. If the wave interacts with a line of crystals as in a sheet of polaroid, any varying electric field in the direction parallel to the line of the crystals will cause a current to flow along this line. The electrons moving in this current will collide with other particles and re-emit the light backwards and forwards. This will cancel the incident wave causing little or no transmission through the sheet. The component of the electric field perpendicular to the line of crystals however can cause only small movements in the electrons as they can't move very much from side to side. This means there will be little change in the perpendicular component of the field leading to transmission of the part of the light wave polarized perpendicular to the crystals only, hence allowing the material to be used as a light polariser.

Sorry if it sounded like mumbo-jumbo; but the above material, known as J-sheet, was the main concept behind a product. Can you name it?

This American Billionaire moved to Saipan in the 80s. His seaplane crashed on May 21, 1995, on a flight from Pagan Island to Saipan. The bodies of the pilot and of a fellow passenger were found, but his body was never recovered. Girls from several Asian and Pacific countries made claims that he was the father of their children. They stated that he had visited bars in Micronesia and the Philippines, offering teenagers money in exchange for sex. However, since his body wasn't recovered in the crash, there was no DNA that could be used to determine paternity. Mysteriously, his house in Saipan was discovered to have been wiped clean. The sinks had been scrubbed with muriatic acid and toothbrushes, combs, hairbrushes and clothes were found buried in the backyard, making them useless for DNA testing.

Name this "interesting" personality and the company he helped found and made his billions from. It was named after the 3 people who founded the company and is now one of the giants in the field. Remember, you have to name the person and the company.
