Title: Where can I find information on inventors and their inventions?

Information: Here are some great sites dealing with both historical and modern inventors and inventions. To find these websites I used several search engines including Google, www.google.com, Yahoo, www.yahoo.com and Alta Vista, www.altavista.com and searched on Inventors. I also searched on Inventions.
