Ryder, one of Hollywood's most honored sound directors who was awarded five Academy Awards and nominated for 12 more, has died in a Monterey convalescent hospital…A 1924 physics and mathematics graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, which he attended after Army service in World War I…In 1948, he made what probably was his most important contribution to sound in films, the use of magnetic tape. Before that, studios were forced to rely on heavy optical recorders (Ryder hauled his around in an 11-ton truck). Ryder's system, which today involves recorders weighing ounces rather than tons, was first used in the film "Geronimo" and later on Rudy Vallee's television programs…. The offshoot of those experiments was an industrywide conversion to magnetic tape and Ryder's founding of his own firm in 1948, although he stayed with Paramount until 1957.""Loren L.

Four years later, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Mr. Ryder with a special award for the development and application of the supersonic playback and public-address system…The first studiowide application of magnetic sound recording for motion-picture production earned Mr. Ryder and Paramount Studios an Oscar in 1950.

Suddenly, string theory wasn't just an ill-fitting theory of sub-nuclear interactions. Once it included gravity, it had the potential to become a theory of all the forces and particles in the universe."K.C. Cole (1999-11-17). "How Faith in the Fringe Paid Off for One Scientist".

He said he first learned about random modeling in a class at UC Berkeley — Sly later made a key discovery in constructing embeddings of random sequences, according to the MacArthur Foundation's website. 'One thing I'd say is that a lot of the work that's recognized in the award was while I was at Berkeley,' Sly said. 'I had very productive years both as a student and faculty.'"
