  • Miriam E. Benjamin (Charleston, 16 settembre 1861 – Boston, 1947) è stata una docente e inventrice statunitense. Il 17 luglio 1888 ottenne un brevetto per la sua invenzione, il "Gong and Signal Chair for Hotels". Come suggerisce il nome, la sedia aveva sia un gong ad essa collegato che un segnale luminoso. In questo modo la sedia "avrebbe ridotto le spese degli hotel consentendo la riduzione del numero dei camerieri e inservienti, e aumentato la comodità e il comfort degli ospiti, ovviando alla necessità di battere le mani o chiamare ad alta voce per ottenere i servizi al tavolo". Quando la persona seduta premeva un piccolo pulsante sul retro della sedia, inviava un segnale a un assistente in attesa. Si accendeva anche una luce, consentendo all'addetto di vedere quale ospite avesse bisogno (it)
