Fredrik Rosing Bull (Oslo, 25 December 1882 - 7 June 1925) was a pioneer of the IT, known for his works on improved punched card machines. In 1907 he finished his studies in civil engineering in the Technical School of Kristiania. In 1916 he was hired as a technical inspector of the insurance company Storebrand. Here is where his interest for the punched card machines technology started, and took over the task of developing his own punched card machine.

  • Fredrik Rosing Bull (Oslo, 25 December 1882 - 7 June 1925) was a pioneer of the IT, known for his works on improved punched card machines. In 1907 he finished his studies in civil engineering in the Technical School of Kristiania. In 1916 he was hired as a technical inspector of the insurance company Storebrand. Here is where his interest for the punched card machines technology started, and took over the task of developing his own punched card machine. In 1919 he obtained his patent, and in 1921, he prepared a team that took over the introduction of its new machine in the company where Bull worked at that time, Storebrand. This team provided several and more effective new ideas the Bull machine, causing it to be superior to the Hollerith's one used then, the IBM precursor. Bull will continue to develop his ideas, improving the machine, which was a huge success throughout Europe. Tragically, he was diagnosed with cancer at a very early age and died in 1925 when he was just 42 years old. His patents were later sold in 1931 and constituted the basis for the founding of the French company Groupe Bull, currently one of the largest companies operating in over 100 countries.
  • Fredrik Rosing Bull war ein norwegischer Ingenieur. Er war an der Entwicklung von Lochkartenmaschinen beteiligt, für die er unter anderem Stanzer erfand und patentierte. Um diese Patente verwerten zu können, wurde 1931 das später sehr erfolgreiche Unternehmen Bull Computer als Compagnie des machines Bull gegründet. F. R. Bull gilt als der norwegische Vater der Informationstechnik. Frederik wurde als achtes von fünfzehn Kindern in Oslo geboren. Sein Vater praktizierte und forschte auf dem Gebiet der Augenheilkunde, einige seiner Geschwister schlugen ebenfalls eine Ingenieurslaufbahn ein. Er studierte von 1904 bis 1907 an der Kristiania Teknisk Skole in Kristiania.
  • Fredrik Rosing Bull fou un pioner de les TIC, conegut per inventar i dissenyar algunes de les primeres màquines per a gestionar les targetes perforades. Al 1907 acabà els seus estudis d'enginyeria civil a l'Escola Tècnica de Kristiania. Al 1916 va ser contractat com a inspector tècnic de la companyia d'assegurances de Storebrand. Allà és on es va interessar per la tecnologia de les targetes perforades amb les que l'empresa treballava, i va assumir la tasca de desenvolupar la seva pròpia màquina per a la gestió d'aquestes. Al 1919 va obtenir la seva patent, i al 1921, havia disposat un equip de treball que es va fer càrrec de la implantació de la seva nova màquina a l'empresa on aleshores treballava, Storebrand. Aquest equip va aportar diverses idees completament noves i més eficaces per a la màquina de Bull, fent que aquesta fos superior a la fins aleshores utilitzada, la màquina tabuladora de Herman Hollerith, precursor d'IBM. Bull va seguir desenvolupant les seves idees, millorant la màquina, la qual va tenir un gran èxit a la resta d'Europa. Tràgicament, se li va diagnosticar càncer amb una edat força prematura i va morir el 1925 amb només 42 anys d'edat. Les seves patents van ser posteriorment venudes i al 1931 van constituir les bases per a la fundació de l'empresa francesa Groupe Bull, avui dia una de les empreses més grans operativa en més de 100 països.
  • Fredrik Rosing Bull est un ingénieur norvégien qui a développé et commercialisé des machines à statistiques. La société Bull date des débuts de la mécanographie. Bull construisit une machine à statistiques en 1923, qui utilisait à cette époque la technologie des cartes perforées. Il mourut six ans avant que ne fût créée, en 1931, la Compagnie industrielle qui porte son nom. Cette compagnie a été désignée successivement H.W. Egli Bull, puis Compagnie des Machines Bull, jusqu'en 1990, et enfin Bull. Fredrik Rosing Bull fut, à partir de 1919, l'un des pionniers de l'indépendance technologique de l'Europe.
  • Fredrik Rosing Bull er kjent for å ha utviklet en forbedret hullkort-maskin. Han regnes av noen som Norges første IT-gründer. Bull var bygningsingeniør, og mens han var ansatt i Storebrand ble han interessert i hullkort-teknologi. Han utviklet sin egen hullkortmaskin, som var ferdig i april 1921, til en pris av 20 000 kroner. Flere institusjoner kjøpte hans maskiner inntil han plutselig ble syk i 1924 og døde året etterpå. Arbeidet ble videreført av partneren Knut Andreas Knutsen (1888-1983). I 1931 ble det franske selskapet H W Egli-Bull startet, med Knutsen som direktør. Dette ble fra 1933 videreført i Compagnie des Machines Bull, basert på patentene til Bulls hullkortmaskin. Groupe Bull er fortsatt kjent for stormaskin-systemer i samarbeid med NEC, GE, Honeywell og andre industripartnere. Navnet til Fredrik Rosing Bull lever videre gjennom Rosing-prisene, som er en slags Oscar-utdeling for norsk IT-bransje. Rosing-prisene deles ut av Den Norske Dataforening.
