I seem to remember reading that, while someone was trying to come up for a 
"proper" name for execution by electricity, Edison suggested that the verb 
"Westinghouse" be used.  As in, "the criminal will be Westinghoused tomorrow 
at dawn."

I just found the following link that backs me up as well as discuss all the 
major players in the AC/DC controversy:
