Irving L. Wieselman received his MA in Physics from UCLA in 1947. He worked in engineering at Northrop Aircraft on an inertial guidance system, and was also involved in the purchase of the BINAC from Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation. From 1953 to 1962, he worked at International Telemeter Corporation (later Telemeter Magnetics) on the logical design of a Russian-to-English language translation machine, and on digital systems using core memories. In 1960-1961, he was on leave with a fellowship at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he installed core memories on the Weizac computer. He was one of the founders of Dataproducts Corporation in 1962 and started working on a disk file systems. From 1972 until his retirement in 1987 as Vice President of Technology Assessment, he worked on printer design, systems, product planning, and printer technology assessment. After retiring from Dataproducts, Wieselman became a consultant on computer printer technology.
