Dr. "Star Trek inspired me to be a scientist" said Jansen, who has been formally working on his tricorder prototypes since 2007, but toying with the idea of making a functioning device since he was "a kid in high school." The 29-year-old Jansen's school days spanned the late 1990s when "Star Trek: Voyager" was on the air. The first tricorder appeared on the original show's initial episode in 1966, when Capt.
