Available immediately through Bell Microproducts' resellers, Broadcom's RAID controllers are the fastest, most functional and highly reliable serial ATA host bus adapters (HBAs) in the market today. These low-profile compliant controllers deliver the highest performance possible utilizing 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X support that is enabled through Broadcom's new BCM5770 serial ATA controller chip. As a result, Broadcom's eight-channel controller performs RAID0 sequential reads at over 460 megabytes per second (MB/s) and sequential writes at more than 430 MB/s, as well as RAID5 sequential reads exceeding 400 MB/s and sequential writes at over 280 MB/s, all of which are performance leaders versus competitive products.

Over the years, Alexander Graham Bell's curiosity would lead him to speculate on the nature of heredity, first among the deaf and later with sheep born with genetic irregularities. His sheep-breeding experiments at Beinn Bhreagh sought to increase the numbers of twin and triplet births. Bell was ... willing to attempt inventing under the pressure of daily events, and in 1881 he hastily constructed an electromagnetic device called an induction balance to try and locate a bullet lodged in President Garfield after an assassin had shot him. He later improved this and produced a device called a telephone probe, which would make a telephone receiver click when it touched metal. That same year, Bell's newborn son, Edward, died from respiratory problems, and Bell responded to that tragedy by designing a metal vacuum jacket that would facilitate breathing. This apparatus was a forerunner of the iron lung used in the 1950s to aid polio victims.

Bell continued his experiments in communication. He invented the photophone-transmission of sound on a beam of light, which was a precursor of fiber-optics. He ... invented techniques for teaching speech to the deaf. Bell was granted 18 patents in his name, and 12 he shared with collaborators. He also founded the National Geographic Society in 1888.

On December 29, 2005, Bell was involved in a car accident on Los Angeles' Pacific Coast Highway. He was in the car with his friend Thomas. As his car was a 1966 Ford Mustang, the steering wheel was made of wood and metal, the seatbelts were only around the waist, and there were no airbags. Because of this, his face smashed into the steering wheel, resulting in a fractured neck, six dislodged teeth, and a deep cut across his chin, leaving a two-and-a-half inch scar. Bell told People that he "could fit [his] tongue through it. It was like a second mouth." Although Bell's injuries were disfiguring, they were not life-threatening, and he made a full recovery.
