Günther Schüssler
Johan Heinrich Günther Schüssler (1835—1898) was a German-born architect and builder who worked in Norway, primarily in the area from Kongsvinger to Lillehammer. Schüssler's work is characterized by neo-Gothic and Swiss chalet style. He is considered one of the earliest architects who brought the Swiss style to Norway. He is particularly known for his designs of many churches in eastern Norway. Schüssler was born in Mehrstedt in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Germany on 13 November 1835. He began at a young age with apprenticeships in northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark, as he trained as a carpenter, builder, and architect. He came to Norway around 1855 and he received Norwegian citizenship in 1857. He worked his whole career in Eastern Norway building churches, railway stations, and other buildings. In 1898, he began to feel unwell and went to the doctor. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and he did not have many months to live. On 25 September 1898, he died ...

Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt
Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was a small historic state in present-day Thuringia, Germany, with its capital at Rudolstadt. History Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was established in 1599 in the course of a resettlement of Schwarzburg dynasty lands. Since the 11th century, the ancestral seat of the comital family had been at Schwarzburg Castle, though after 1340, for most of its existence as a polity had the capital at the larger town of Rudolstadt. In 1583 Count Günther XLI of Schwarzburg, the eldest son of Günther XL the Rich and ruler over the united Schwarzburg lands, had died without issue. He was succeeded by his younger brothers, whereby Albert VII received the territory around Rudolstadt. After their brother Count William of Schwarzburg- Frankenhausen had died in 1597, the surviving brothers Albert VII and John Günther I established the two counties of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen by the 1599 Treaty of Stadtilm. Albert's descendants ruled as sovereign count ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fet Church (Lillestrøm)
The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the flow of current in a semiconductor. FETs ( JFETs or MOSFETs) are devices with three terminals: ''source'', ''gate'', and ''drain''. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and source. FETs are also known as unipolar transistors since they involve single-carrier-type operation. That is, FETs use either electrons (n-channel) or holes (p-channel) as charge carriers in their operation, but not both. Many different types of field effect transistors exist. Field effect transistors generally display very high input impedance at low frequencies. The most widely used field-effect transistor is the MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). History The concept of a field-effect transistor (FET) was first patented by Austro-Hungarian physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in ...
