Doctor Richard Daystrom was born on Reference Stardate 1/4608 (August 2146). A research physicist,[1] he was renowned for the invention of duotronics,[2]—a method of processing information not in the binary method of older computers, but in 1036 gradations of maybe between yes and no—which by 2208[1] powered the computer systems aboard Federation Starfleet vessels like the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[2]

On Reference Stardate 1/7109 (September 2171), Daystrom shared a Nobel Prize with William Abramson for their revolutionary work on duotronics.[3] A year later, on Reference Stardate 1/7206 (June 2172), Daystrom and Abramson's work led to the development of the first practical, portable universal translator.[4]
