"During Dr.Weston's long and fruitful life, he also invented [...] Radio 
tube(bulb); [...]"

I thought Lee De Forest invented the triode, no?

Also, I believe there is a difference between inventing something new and 
improving on existing design, as in the case of Weston improving Edison's 
incandescent bulb.
