The 2018 Innovation Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony The 2018 Innovation Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Honoring: Please RSVP for the event at: https://go.umd.edu/IHOF2018 Mr. Popenoe is being honored for inventing SmartBolts®, which remains the only technology of its kind, even after more than 50 years. SmartBolts® fasteners display actual tension with a built-in indicator that changes color as the bolt is tightened or loosened. The indicator design is reusable so it provides value at installation and allows you to monitor preload for the life of the bolt. Mr. Popenoe graduated from the University of Maryland in 1957 with a bachelor's in aerospace engineering. The Innovation Hall of Fame recognizes Clark School alumni, faculty, and associates who have pioneered many of the most significant engineering advances in the past century. Inductees include Robert Briskman, the co-founder of Sirius Satellite Radio; George Laurer, inventor of the Universal Product Code; and Brian Hinman, the innovator behind the Polycom SoundStation conference call device.
