USS Indianapolis (LCS-17). USS Indianapolis (LCS-17) is a  littoral combat ship of the United States Navy. She is the fourth vessel in the navy named after Indianapolis, Indiana.

Design 
In 2002, the US Navy initiated a program to develop the first of a fleet of littoral combat ships. The Navy initially ordered two monohull ships from Lockheed Martin, which became known as the Freedom-class littoral combat ships after the first ship of the class, . Odd-numbered U.S. Navy littoral combat ships are built using the Freedom-class monohull design, while even-numbered ships are based on a competing design, the trimaran hull  from General Dynamics. The initial order of littoral combat ships involved a total of four ships, including two of the Freedom-class design.  Indianapolis is the tenth Freedom-class littoral combat ship to be built.

Indianapolis includes additional stability improvements over the original Freedom design; the stern transom was lengthened and buoyancy tanks were added to the stern to increase weight service and enhance stability. The ship will also feature automated sensors to allow "conditions-based maintenance" and reduce crew overwork and fatigue issues that Freedom had on her first deployment.

Construction and career 
Marinette Marine was awarded the contract to build the ship on 29 December 2010. Construction began on 18 July 2016 and she was launched on 18 April 2018. she is homeported to Naval Station Mayport, Florida and assigned to Littoral Combat Ship Squadron Two.

Indianapolis was commissioned in a ceremony at Burns Harbor, Indiana on 26 October 2019.

, Indianapolis is billeted to act in the mine countermeasures (MCM) role.

On the morning of September 27, 2024, while transiting the Red Sea with Arleigh Burke class destroyers  and , she was attacked by roughly two dozen missiles and drones launched by Iranian backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. All missiles and drones were intercepted or missed their target outright.

Fan-out (software). Fan-out has multiple meanings in software engineering.

Message-oriented middleware 
In message-oriented middleware solutions, fan-out is a messaging pattern used to model an information exchange that implies the delivery (or spreading) of a message to one or multiple destinations possibly in parallel, and not halting the process that executes the messaging to wait for any response to that message.

Software design and quality assurance 
In software construction, the fan-out of a class or method is the number of other classes used by that class or the number of other methods called by that method.

Additionally, fan-out has impact on the quality of a software.

Nieuport 15. The Nieuport 15 (or Nieuport XV in contemporary sources) was a French World War I bomber aircraft. Due to disappointing performance the type was rejected and never entered service.

Design and development
Scaled up from the Nieuport 14, the new bomber was built in the summer of 1916 and the first prototype was ready for testing in November of that year.

The Nieuport 15 was a two-bay sesquiplane with V-struts and a newly designed tailplane including a heart shaped elevators. It was powered by a  Renault 12F V-12 engine. with Hazet modular radiators mounted on each side of the fuselage.

During limited flight testing the controls and landing gear were found to be unsatisfactory and the French quickly abandoned the bomber. In December 1916 it was declared obsolete but the British showed some interest and had ordered 70 aircraft but after the tests proved disappointing, all orders were eventually cancelled.

Materfer CMM 400-2. The CMM 400-2 is a diesel multiple unit produced by Materfer in Córdoba Province, Argentina. The units are produced in Argentina's three primary track gauges and the standard gauge variants were the first to be produced for General Urquiza Railway services in Entre Ríos Province.

Overview
The DMUs come in 1000mm, 1435mm and 1676mm track gauges, and can thus be used on any part of the network with the exception of a few tourist services. Most components are built in Argentina, with the exception of a few such as its German Knorr Bremse brakes and Swedish Scania engines. The possibility of upgrading the Scania engines to more powerful Deutz AG engines on all future and existing rolling stock is being considered.

Some of the passenger comforts in the cars include; air conditioning, pneumatic suspension, reclining seats and LED lighting. Each car has a capacity for 70 seated passengers and each trainset has a conductor's cabin on each side.

Usage

The units can be found on a variety of different urban and inter-urban services in Argentina. The first trainsets were sent to Entre Ríos Province for inter-urban services on the General Urquiza Railway's Paraná - Concepción del Uruguay line.

The units on the General Roca Railway are used for inter-urban services between Bragado - Realicó - General Pico in Buenos Aires and La Pampa provinces. 

CMM 400-2 trainsets on the Mitre Line were used for its diesel branch between Victoria and Capilla del Señor. These units had serious problems when they were incorporated into this branch since the tracks had not been replaced beforehand and the poor condition of the tracks led to mechanical failures. Therefore, the CMM 400-2 units were reassigned for them to been used for the Tren del Valle, which became the most successful train branch in the country since it opens in 2015.

In 2015 the first narrow gauge units began to arrive in Chaco Province to begin operating on a General Belgrano Railway branch whose tracks were completely replaced in order to run freight and passenger services along the entire width of the province. Their bodywork has a slightly different appearance to the standard and broad gauge units found on other lines.

SECMA. SECMA (Société d'Etude et de Construction de Mecanique Automobile) is a French automobile manufacturer located in Aniche, France.

History
The company was founded by Daniel Renard in 1995. His first microcar business was Automobiles ERAD, founded in 1975.

The design of the first Secma model in 1995 responded to Daniel Renard's desire to create the simplest possible car, for less than 20,000 F at the time (3,000 euros).

On 27 May 2009, SECMA's factory was destroyed by fire. The company then moved into new, more modern and functional facilities. In parallel with the production of its flagship model, the Secma F16, in 2012 the Secma Fun Lander was launched. By 2014, around 30,000 Secma and ERAD vehicles had been manufactured - averaging out at about 750 per year since the beginning.

At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Secma F16 Turbo was unveiled. One year after, Secma launched the Fun Buggy, a model with more ground clearance and a Buggy look.

List of Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 TV series) episodes. Transformers: Robots in Disguise is an American animated television series, developed by Adam Beechen, Duane Capizzi and Jeff Kline. The series' first 13 episodes were released online on December 31, 2014, on 1905.com in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong) and dubbed in Mandarin Chinese. The series first premiered on television on February 9, 2015, on Canal J in France. In the United States, the series has been broadcast on Cartoon Network since its debut on March 14, 2015. The series serves as a stand-alone sequel to Transformers: Prime, taking place a few years after it with an overall more lighthearted tone.

The series focuses on Bumblebee who, following the events of Prime, has become a police officer on Cybertron. While on a mission, he sees a vision of Optimus Prime telling him to go to Earth as a terrible evil is coming. Joining him on the mission are his cadet partner Strongarm and the rebellious Sideswipe. Following their arrival on Earth, the three of them are tasked with capturing Decepticons who were released from their stasis pods when their prison ship, the Alchemor, crash landed. The trio is also aided by the humans Russell and Denny Clay, the Dinobot Grimlock, and the Minicon Fixit. Later, they are joined by the former Decepticon-turned-Autobot bounty hunter Drift, with his Minicon pupils Slipstream and Jetstorm, and the spiritual Windblade who is on a mission by the Transformers' god Primus. The first season, consisting of 26 episodes, concluded with the revival of Optimus.

A second season, consisting of 13 episodes began airing on February 20, 2016, and saw Bumblebee's team, or Bee Team, attempting to apprehend the remaining escaped Decepticons and the discovery that the Alchemor was cut in half upon crashing on Earth, leading to the creation of a different Decepticon group. The season also features the return of Soundwave and Ratchet from Transformers: Primethe former appearing for one episode while the latter appears in the two-part finale. A miniseries, consisting of six episodes, premiered in October 2016 and features the return of Starscream, placing him as the main antagonist. In April 2017, the series' third season, entitled Combiner Force, began airing and focuses on Bee Team's realization that they can combine into the Combiner, Ultra Bee, as well as the arrival of the Stunticons, who are also capable of combining. Soundwave also plans to return with the help of Activators, a new breed of Minicons.

The series concluded with its third season and was replaced with the new series, Transformers: Cyberverse. Presently, only the first season of the series has been released as a complete DVD set, in 3 Regions, which are Region 1, Region 2 and Region 4.
