Name some inventions that drive any technology industry that were created by a foreigner

By foreigner I take it you mean India born since we are in the context of H1B. Otherwise plenty of inventions by European born "foreigners". It's easy. I asked one of the AI chatbots

1. USB. Yes, the ubiquitous USB without which modern life wouldn't continue -- Ajay Bhatt.

2. Fiber Optics (no modern high speed internet without fiber optics) - Narinder Singh Kapany

3. Pentium Processor - Vinod Dham.

4. Bose corporation (many patented tech) - Amar Bose

5. Semiconductor manufacturing - Gurtej Sandhu.

6. DSP (Digital Signal Processing) - Anil K Jain (significant contributor) If you want more just ask a chatbot.

That list isn’t correct.

Laughable list. I hardly think that list was invented by one person. I happen to know many on the Pentium processor team, and fiber optics was invented by 1957 and used within the USAF.

I don’t mean to nitpick, but as for Amar Bose, they don’t make Americans like him anymore: from Wiki (I know, I know….)
“Amar Gopal Bose (November 2, 1929 – July 12, 2013) was an American entrepreneur and academic. An electrical engineer and sound engineer, he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for over 45 years. He was also the founder and chairman of Bose Corporation”……..
Bose was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Father was Indian, mother was American

So you’re a dot?

You seem to be presrenting the idea that if something is credited to a dot, it could not have been, and would not have been, invented by an American.

Fail.

1. USB. Yes, the ubiquitous USB without which modern life wouldn’t continue — Ajay Bhatt.

2. Fiber Optics (no modern high speed internet without fiber optics) - Narinder Singh Kapany

You speak as if these two individuals were single handedly responsible for the technologies mentioned. In the case of the USB, that resulted from a group development effort led by a consortium of seven tech companies (Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Nortel) to develop a universal standard for device connectivity. Ajay Bhatt was the team leader at Intel that developed the first integrated circuits to support USB. Hardly a lone genius.

Same with Narinder Singh Kapany. He didn’t single handedly invent fiber optics. Much of the basic physics had already been developed. Kapany and British physicist Harold Hopkins improved on the technology in 1953, producing what were the best quality transmissions achieved up until that time. But the development of fiver optics took place over decades and resulted from incremental improvements by a number of physicists and engineers.
