Abstract :
The following awards were presented during the conference. The W.G. Cady Award was presented to Jean-Jacques Gagnepain of LPMO-CNRS, France, "for major contributions to our understanding of nonlinear and environmental effects, and pioneering results on l/f noise in piezoelectric resonators." The award was presented by Errol P. EerNisse, Quartzdyne. The I.I. Rabi Award was presented to Fred L. Walls of NIST, "... for major contributions to the characterization of noise and other instabilities of local oscillators and their effects on atomic frequency standards." The award was presented by Samuel R. Stein of Timing Solutions. The C.B. Sawyer Award was presented to Lidya I. Zhourkina, Scientific Res. Inst. Phonon, Russia, "for outstanding contributions to intemational standardization, and 30 years of leadership on the IEC Technical Committee No. 49, "Piezoelectric and Dielectric Devices for Frequency Control and Selection." The award was presented by Gary R. Johnson of Sawyer Research Products. The 1995 Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Arthur W. Warner, Jr. "for his nearly 60 years of pioneering and wide-ranging contributions to the design and fabrication of high-stability quartz resonators." The award was presented by John R. Vig of the US Army Research Laboratory. A photograph of Jean-Jacques Gagnepain, Lidya I. Zhourkina, Fred L. Walls, and Arthur W. Wamer, Jr. is included.
