Flight Dynamics Flightsail. The Purcell Flightsail or Flight Dynamics Flightsail is an experimental towed glider by Thomas H. Purcell, Jr. He sold plans in several publications for the tow-launched hung-mass controllable kite-glider. He flew first off water in late 1961 and then arranged things for off-land and landing on land. His efforts would find similarity echo later in early 1963 by the SkiPlane of Mike Burns.

Development
The Flightsail is a single seat open cockpit parasol-winged glider with tricycle landing gear. The fuselage is constructed of a triangular pyramid-shaped or tetrahedral truss; the pilot was positioned in front of the triangle-control frame. The framed flexible wing resembles a hang-glider arrangement as used on the kited gliders of Paresev program and by Ryan Aeronautical Company. The glider used weight-shift pendulum control using a stick with cables that shifts the cg of the frame relative to the wing pivoting above it. The wing is constructed with a 50-degree sweep based on NASA technical note D-443 and covered with polyethylene sheet with rip-stop fiberglass tape in a one-foot mesh pattern. The aircraft was tested by NASA test pilots Milton Orville Thompson and Victor Horton  to compare against the Rogallo wing being tested for space vehicle recovery. Purcell published that in an early 1962 flight session, Francis M. Rogallo also had a flight in the Flightsail; years later Purcell would have a very different aircraft using the flexible-wing in a modification which was flown by Francis M. Rogallo. Purcell's later Flight Dynamics Flightsail VII used the flexible-wing in a modified format.

Barh Super Thermal Power Station. Barh Super Thermal Power Station or NTPC Barh is located in Barh in the Indian state of Bihar. NTPC Barh is located barely  east of the Barh sub-division on National Highway-31 in Patna district. The project has been named a mega power project, and is owned by Indian energy company National Thermal Power Corporation.

The project has been contested as it is nearby Himalayan Range and needs stricter anti-pollution controls.

The 1,320 MW (2 x 660 MW) Barh Stage-2 built by BHEL is operational while 1,980 MW (3 x 660 MW) Barh Stage-1 was being built by  Russian firm Technopromexport (TPE).

Russian firm Technopromexport (TPE) was awarded a contract to provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for stage one development in May 2005. However, the contract was terminated in 2014 due to contractual disputes. NTPC awarded a £205m ($294m) contract to Korean firm Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction to design, produce and install three 660MW boilers for stage one in January 2016.

Bihar's share is 1183 MW from NTPC Barh (26% from stage 1 and 50% from stage 2).

The main power plant and the township is spread over an area of  of land, which includes 12 villages.

The then PM, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had laid the foundation stone of the main plant of stage-1 of NTPC Barh on March 6, 1999. The formal inauguration of its site office and laying of the foundation stone of the training centre at the plant site was done in September 2003.

Project cost
The plant is to produce 3,300 MW of power at a cost of over Rs 26,000 crore.
The total approved cost of stage-1 (660 MW x 3) has Rs 8,692.97 crore. The total approved cost of stage-2 (unit 1) plant is Rs 7,688.12 crore.

Capacity
Unit-1 of stage-2 commissioned in November 2013. Unit-2 of stage-2 commissioned in March 2015. The first unit (of stage-I) of NTPC Barh is expected to start generation from December 2019 instead of the scheduled August 2020, while the second and third units of stage-I will be made operational in December 2020 and August 2021, respectively.

Inland Waterways Authority of India received bids in 2013 September for coal movement on 1620 km National Waterway 1 (India) from Haldia to NTPC's Barh which is about  away.

Boiler balance work of Stage-I
The boiler balance work of Stage-I (3 x 660 MW)(BSTPP)
was allotted to Doosan Power Systems India Ltd, (Korea) Company in January 2016. The work is under contract with Power Mech Projects Ltd.

Flue gas desulphurization addition
As per MOEF guidelines of Dec-2015 NTPC decided to add FGD units to all units to limit SOX emissions. BHEL was awarded the contract to supply FGD units.

Bedford TL. The Bedford TL was a truck manufactured by Bedford. Launched in June 1980, the TL was intended to complement the Bedford TK, on which it was heavily based. One of the main advantages of the TL over the TK was the incorporation of a tilt cab, improving maintenance. A tilt cab was a feature of the TK's main competitor, the Ford D series, and had long been seen as a major advantage.

Production began in April 1980, to allow trucks to reach dealers for the premiere. The TL was taken out of production with Bedford's demise in 1986, but production recommenced in 1988 with new owners AWD. The range expanded to include various derivatives before production ceased in 1992 when AWD was placed in receivership.

History and use
The chassis was as for the TK, with some minor alterations at the front to accommodate the new flat-floor cab. The front suspension, now taper leaf sprung, was also new. The TL was designed mainly for short hauls, but comfort was a bigger priority than for the TK. While an ample number of combinations were available, power outputs were higher than for the TK. From launch, the TL was powered by petrol and diesel engines. The six-cylinder petrol power units were the 214P 3.5-litre and the 300P 4.9-litre. The diesel units were the updated versions of the TK's 3.6-litre four-cylinder 220D and the 5.4-litre six-cylinder 330D, with the option for heavier models of the 8.2-litre Blue Series. Power outputs are  for the petrols, while the diesels offer  for the 220D and the 330D. The Blue Series offered either  depending on the model.

By 1984 the engine power was slightly increased with the adoption of turbocharging and the engines were reclassified and now called Red Series. The 3.6-litre 220D was now called the 70TD and the 5.4-litre 330D became the 105TD - the new names signified maximum power outputs. The 8.2-litre Blue Series engines continued in two version; the 130TD and the higher rated 175TD.

When AWD re-launched the TL in 1988, it was equipped with two 6-cylinder engines; initially as the 17-18 model with a Perkins Phaser  unit, and from 1990 with the 17–27 with a Cummins C Series 8.3-litre producing .

Greenport Basin and Construction Company. The Greenport Basin and Construction Company, known by various names throughout its history, but most recently named the Greenport Yacht & Shipbuilding Company, is a shipbuilder in Greenport, Suffolk County, New York. It was established in the 19th century by brothers Pliny C. Brigham and Theodore W. Brigham. One local history relates:

The company built dozens of ships for the United States Navy during World War I and World War II, as well as building yachts for private customers. In 1917 the company became involved in a tax case against the United States, in which it protested the assessment of an "excess profits" tax. The case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the company finally lost the decision in 1923. In 1970, the company was acquired by Stephen Clarke, and thereafter turned its attention from ship construction to ship maintenance and repairs, and historic preservation of ships.

Ships built or converted
Notable ships built by the company include:

In addition, the USS Patriot (PYc-47), built in 1930 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Rhode Island, was converted for Navy service as a submarine chaser by Greenport Basin and Construction Company, in 1940.

IPX Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. IPX 2000 ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (IPX 2000, IPX UHMW, IPX UHMW-PE, IPX-UHMW-PE) is an engineered polyethylene compound developed to maintain many traits of UHMW, while increasing abrasion resistance, UV stability and decreasing friction and thermal expansion. IPX UHMW was developed in the early 2000s by material scientists at Interstate Plastics in Sacramento, CA and was first brought to market in 2005 by Interstate Plastics, under the trademark IPX. The acronym IPX-UHMW-PE stands for Interstate Plastics eXtra ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.

IPX 2000 UHMW is naturally red in color, and not approved for direct food contact like virgin UHMW. IPX maintains a high resistance to corrosive chemicals except oxidizing acids; and offers even lower moisture absorption and a lower coefficient of friction versus UHMW. IPX UHMW is self-lubricating; and is highly resistant to abrasion.

Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of traditional UHMW, and greatly lower than nylon and acetal. While polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon) is normally regarded as having a lower coefficient of friction versus UHMW, IPX UHMW has a comparable coefficient at .09, measuring almost as low as PTFE's coefficient of .07 in a standard ATSM D1894 test.

Uses and Applications

Applications for IPX are the same as UHMW and include Gears, Springs, Plates, Bushings and Housings. IPX UHMW is not approved for food contact. IPX is regarded as being easier to machine versus traditional UHMW.

Thompson Mill Covered Bridge. Thompson Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge which crosses the Kaskaskia River  northeast of Cowden, Illinois. The  Howe truss bridge is only  wide, making it the narrowest covered bridge in Illinois. The bridge was constructed in 1868; it was built in Michigan, shipped to Shelbyville, and hauled to the river crossing by horse-drawn wagons. The road the bridge carried was an important transportation corridor connecting Springfield, Taylorville, and Effingham. The bridge also provided area residents access to the Thompson Mill, a corn mill and sawmill which operated from 1843 to 1914.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1975. It is now one of only five historic covered bridges remaining in Illinois. The bridge has been closed to automobile traffic but remains open to pedestrians.

Cyanoacetic acid. Cyanoacetic acid is an organic compound. It is a white, hygroscopic solid.  The compound contains two functional groups, a nitrile (−C≡N) and a carboxylic acid.  It is a precursor to cyanoacrylates, components of adhesives.

Preparation and reactions
Cyanoacetic acid is prepared by treatment of chloroacetate salts with sodium cyanide followed by acidification. Electrosynthesis by cathodic reduction of carbon dioxide and anodic oxidation of acetonitrile also affords cyanoacetic acid.

Cyanoacetic acid is used to do cyanoacetylation, first convenient method described by J. Slätt.

It is about 1000x more acidic than acetic acid, with a pKa of 2.5. Ka=2.8x10^-3    

Upon heating at 160 °C, it undergoes decarboxylation to give acetonitrile:

Applications
In its largest scale application, cyanoacetic acid is first esterified to give  ethyl cyanoacetate.  Condensation of that ester with formaldehyde gives  ethyl cyanoacrylate, which used as superglue. As of 2007, more than 10,000 tons of cyanoacetic acid were produced annually.

Cyanoacetic acid is a versatile intermediate in the preparation of other chemicals.  it is a precursor to synthetic caffeine via the intermediacy of theophylline.  It is a building block for many drugs, including dextromethorphan, amiloride, sulfadimethoxine, and allopurinol.

Safety
The LD50 (oral, rats) is 1.5 g/kg.
