Александр Понятов (1892–1980) — американский инженер, основатель и президент компании Ampex, которая выпустила в 1956 году первый коммерческий видеомагнитофон. До появления этого изобретения единственным способом записи телепередач была съемка кинескопа на пленку, что давало посредственное качество изображения и было дорогостоящим. Так многие ранние телепередачи вообще не попали в архивы. С помощью видеомагнитофона стало возможным записывать передачи и транслировать их через несколько часов в другом часовом поясе. Изобретение было настолько революционным, что коллектив авторов VRX–1000 получил в 1957 году премию «Эмми».

Александр Матвеевич — выходец из крестьянской (позже купеческой) семьи Казанской губернии, учился в ИМТУ и в Германии, ветеран Первой мировой, воевал в Белой армии, иммигрировал в Китай, позже жил во Франции, затем стал гражданином США. Будучи уже 50–летним инженером, в 1944 организовал в своем гараже в Сан–Франциско фирму AMPEX (Alexander М. Poniatoff EXcellence), которая сначала работала на оборонку. После войны Ampex занялась выпуском аудиомагнитофонов. С 1951 года фирма вела разработку технологии записи видео на магнитную ленту и к 1956 представила первый серийный коммерческий образец видеомагнитофона, который опережал прототипы конкурентов: в Ampex VRX–1000 вместо того, чтобы увеличивать скорость движения магнитной ленты, магнитные головки в видеокамере и видеомагнитофоне закреплены на вращающемся с высокой скоростью барабане, что позволило значительно снизить скорость лентопротяжного механизма (а значит, и расход ленты).

На видеопленку Ampex в частности записаны «кухонные дебаты» Никсона и Хрущева (ч1 ч2).
В самом СССР из–за эмбарго пришлось самостоятельно разработать свой видеомагнитофон в 1958–1960 гг.

Coronavirus in Maharashtra: In the last 24 hours, Maharashtra's COVID-19 positive cases jumped 1,165. Coronavirus has killed as many as 779 people in Maharashtra. The state reported 48 deaths in last one day

Maharashtra's count for COVID-19 cases crossed 20,000 cases and the city had 722 new cases on Saturday. The bar of the state's death toll rose higher with 48 deaths, and 27 of them occurred in Mumbai.

State health officials said that while Mumbai has 12,864 COVID-19 cases, an additional 178 cases have been reported, but are yet to be added to the tally. Apart from 27 deaths that occurred in Mumbai, 10 were reported in Pune, eight in Malegaon and one each in Akola, Nanded and Amravati. State health officials said that the 48 deaths had occurred between April 25 and May 8.

Civic officials said that among the 27 patients who died, 21 of them were suffering from other ailments and three of the patients who died were less than 40 years old. In order to reduce the burden on the city's hospitals, the civic body is now urging people who test positive but have no symptoms to refrain from visiting hospitals. They are encouraging asymptomatic positive patients to visit COVID care centres instead.

Meanwhile, 25 new cases were reported from Dharavi which included one death. Five of the cases were from Mukund Nagar, the slum pocket with the highest concentration of cases. Dharavi alone now has 833 positive cases. Five other cases were reported from Mahim, 18 in Dadar, including eight cases from Kasarwadi.

In order to avoid the spread of the infection as seen in Dharavi, officials from H West ward are sealing the Khar Danda area, which includes slum pockets. The decision was taken after five members of a family in a residential building in the area tested positive earlier this week. "We found a high-risk patient while tracing the contacts of the family that tested positive. We are sealing the area. We are figuring out the arrangements for food," said an official from H West. In other parts of Bandra West, 13 cases have been reported from Shastri Nagar and 14 from the slaugherhouse near the Bandra Railway Station. Civic officials said another 12 cases have been reported from the Nargis Dutt Nagar slums.
