Other miscellaneous Nobel Prize trivia:
there is no such thing as the Nobel Prize for Economics. Physics, yes, Peace, yes, and others, but not for Economics. There is an award given out at the main Nobel ceremony and the award is for Economics, but it is not awarded by the Nobel committee.
We all know E=mc^2. We all know who Einstein was. But, did you know that because certain persons on the Nobel committee at the time couldn't fully grasp and get either of his theories of relativity, they didn't earn him a Nobel Prize. Einstein was co-awarded his Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the photo-electric effect. Thanks to this work, we have things like solar cells.

Since this is Trivia and this is your first question I didn't go for the obvious. Originally I thought you might be considering the queen bestowing knighthood but that's not considered nobility.
After wearing out Wikipedia to find a connection I returned to Google and finally found one of the IEEE Awards is the. "Daniel E Noble Award" (1963), formerly the 'Morris N. Liebmann Award' (1919).
It is an annual award which may be presented upon the recommendation of the IEEE Technical Field Awards Council and the IEEE Awards Board.
So assuming you wouldn't join AW Answers just to get information readily available or miss-spell the obvious, I'll go for the IEEE award for now.
I haven't given up the Nobility connection. Maybe someone else has better research skills and can find a noble prize that has a mandatory (must) regularity.

A nobel price has to be given when there is something notable done for humanity. This means that every 2 or 3 years of work are summarized and the best efford and notable acchivement is aworded with a nobel prize.
