Ship oil pollution emergency plan. The Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan, or SOPEP, is a prevention plan carried on board tankers >150 GT and other vessels >400 GT. In this plan you get an overview of possible procedures in case of an oil spill. In the plan is also mentioned who you should contact (list of authorities, oil cleanup teams and port state control) and how to report this event to the nearest coast guard station.

A typical shipboard oil pollution plan contains:
 An action plan with instructions for the oil pollution prevention team. This is a list of duties the crewmembers have to fulfil in case of an oil spill.
General information about the ship
Procedures to contain the discharge of the oil into the sea in accordance to MARPOL regulations (regulation 37 of annex I)
Drawings of fuel/oil lines
Location of SOPEP boxes

The plan should be written in accordance to the International Maritime Organization regulations.

Panama Canal Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan 

The PCSOPEP (Panama Canal Ship Oil Pollution Emergency plan), which became effective 1 January 2005. Under these regulations,
vessels present a plan for Canal waters and pay tariffs for the availability of personnel and equipment for oil spill response. In return, the ACP (Panama Canal Authority) acts as the sole Oil Spill Response Organization (OSRO) for vessels in transit or awaiting transit of the Panama Canal.

Jodel DR1050 Excellence. The Jodel DR1050 Excellence and Ambassadeur are part of a family of French built aircraft, designed by Jean Délémontez (the principal designer of Jodel aircraft) in collaboration with Pierre Robin, as a development of the Jodel D.10 project. The aircraft was built from 1958 to 1967 both by Centre-Est Aeronautique (CEA) (see Robin Aircraft) and by Société Aéronautique Normande (SAN) but since the demise of the latter in 1968 has only been supplied as plans.

Design and development
The original aircraft was designated the DR.100 and features a cantilever low-wing, a three-seat enclosed cockpit, fixed, tailwheel conventional landing gear with a single engine in tractor configuration. This was developed ultimately to the DR1050M1 Sicile Record with swept fin and many other refinements such as wheel pants and improved canopy.  Versions were manufactured by both SAN and CEA and variously named Ambassadeur, Excellence, Sicile, and Sicile Record. At least 618 of the family were constructed, 286 by SAN and 332 by CEA, between 1958 and 1965. Tricycle landing gear is optional on home-built aircraft.

This design was further developed by CEA as the DR200/220/250 series and subsequently as the Robin DR400 series.

The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its  span wing employs a NACA 23012 airfoil and has an area of . The standard engine used is the  Continental O-200 four-stroke powerplant.

Variants
DR.100
Original version with  Continental C90 engine.
DR.105

Talcher–Kolar HVDC system. The Talcher–Kolar HVDC system, otherwise known as the East–South interconnection II is a 1450 km HVDC transmission connection between the eastern and southern regions in India connecting four states namely Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The system has a transmission voltage of ±500 kV and was originally put into service in March 2003, with a rated power of 2000 MW. In 2007 the scheme was upgraded to 2500 MW.

The Talcher–Kolar HVDC system is owned by Power Grid Corporation of India and the converter stations were built by Siemens.

The scheme is a conventional bipolar system with overhead lines for the high-voltage conductors and ground return for the neutral current.

Ground electrodes 

The scheme includes two ground electrodes, of ring construction, located at Rohila, 28.5 km northeast of the Talcher converter station and at Chikkadasarahalli, 30 km northwest of the Kolar converter station.

However, the soil conditions at some distance from the electrode at Chikkadasarahalli were later found to have higher than expected soil resistivity. These geological effects gave rise to problems with DC currents flowing into the neutral connections of transformers at nearby AC substations, which required the addition of DC blocking devices.

Sri Lanka Railways S12. Sri Lanka Railways S12 is a class of Diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) built for Sri Lanka Railways by China's CSR Corporation. The first batch arrived in Sri Lanka in August 2012. They were built to replace locomotive-hauled passenger trains. Seven of the S12 DMUs were ordered to strengthen long-distance travel on the Main line from Colombo to Badulla. Four of S12s were built to serve the Kelani Valley Line. The remaining set was designed as a luxury train.

History 
The S12 DEMUs were meant to improve services on the Main Line and the Kelani Valley Line. The steep slopes on the up-country portion of the Main Line is difficult to operate. Prior to the S12, only a few classes of locomotives were capable of operating this line. As DEMUs started to replace locomotive-operated trains on other lines, the up-country Main Line could not be operated by DEMUs. The S12 is the first DEMU to handle these conditions.

The locomotives were purchased under a USD 101 million credit line agreement with China. The loan was to be settled within 15 years.

In September 2012, the first units had trial runs. The first Main Line train operated by the S12 began on 23 October 2012.

Most of the named services operated by the S12 DEMUs were later taken over by the newer S14 DEMUs.

IBM STAIRS. The IBM Storage and Information Retrieval System, better known by the acronym STAIRS, was a program providing storage and online free-text search of text data.  STAIRS ran under the OS/360 operating system under the CICS or IMS transaction monitors, and supported IBM 3270 display terminals.

History
STAIRS was introduced as a product in 1973, but had previously been developed in-house by IBM in support of its antitrust lawsuit in 1969. Originally the product was called simply STAIRS but, with the advent of IBM's "/Virtual Storage" operating systems (such as OS/VS1), the non-CMS versions were later renamed to STAIRS/VS.

STAIRS was initially released as an application running under IMS and CICS, but a VM/CMS implementation was developed by IBM Canada in the late 1970s and marketed mostly in Europe, called STAIRS/CMS.  

STAIRS was succeeded by IBM SearchManager/370 and SearchManager/2 in 1991, and was discontinued in 1992, with support ceasing in 1994.

Description
STAIRS queries were formulated as boolean expressions of desired terms.  In addition to the normal boolean functions of AND, OR, and NOT, STAIRS recognized such modifiers as adjacent to or in the same paragraph as.  Plain text documents could also contain so-called formatted fields, which could be used for additional selection.  These might contain fixed information such as a date or state name.

A powerful feature was that queries could be saved and re-executed.  Queries could also be extended; for example, by specifying the result of previous query five AND an additional search term.

When search results were displayed for the user, 3270 highlighting was used to emphasize occurrences of search terms.

Uses
STAIRS was used in-house by organizations such as large corporations and government agencies  with large collections of unstructured documents.  It was also bundled by database providers as a subscription service.

Technical details
STAIRS provided good search performance by indexing every word in a document except user-selectable stop words, usually common words such as "and" or "the."

Two levels of index were used, a dictionary containing one occurrence of each word, and an inverted text file storing document identification and position information for each occurrence of each word.  The actual document text was stored in a third text file.

STAIRS document databases could only be updated off-line.  The data (in the non-CMS implementations) was stored in basic direct access method (BDAM) files, which caused upgrade and portability problems later in its life-cycle.

RBS Express. RBS Express railroad trains were 3 mobile United States Air Force radar stations for 1CEVG Radar Bomb Scoring (RBS) of Strategic Air Command bomber crews beginning in March 1961.  Electronic equipment included the "MSQ-39, TLQ-11, MPS-9, and the IFF/SIF for the MSQ-39" along with support railcars ("work train"), and the trains were temporarily used at various rail sites (e.g., sidings) with the radar antennas emplaced using hoists built onto flatcars.  Pulled by a "contracted locomotive" that left the train at the site (e.g., for 45 days), and a North American B-25 Mitchell was used for calibration of the radar station.

Each train used "existing U.S. Army stock" from Ogden General Depot, and each train's 21 cars (17 support and 4 radar cars) included "a generator car, two box cars (one for radar equipment maintenance, and one for support maintenance) [a] dining car, two day-room cars, supply cars, admin car, and 4 [crew sleeping cars]."  Depot maintenance for the trains was at the Tooele Army Depot southwest of Salt Lake City ("Army Rail Shops").  Major Eugene R. Butler was the 1st commander of the "First RBS Express", and each 1CEVG squadron's detachments manned a train (after the 1965 discontinuation of RBS squadrons, RBS detachments continued operating trains.)  Butler's command had 60 11th RBS airmen: 15 from the Joplin Bomb Plot and others from the bomb plots at La Junta CO, Bismarck ND, Minneapolis MN, Salt Lake City UT, St Louis MO, and Little Rock AR.

Emergency disconnect package. An Emergency Disconnect Package (EDP) is a piece of equipment used in the drilling and work-over (servicing or modification) of deep sea oil & gas wells, by Mobile Offshore Drilling Rigs (MODU's) and Well Intervention Vessels (WIV's). The EDP is designed for use in an emergency, when the MODU or WIV needs to quickly disconnect, and move away from the oil/gas well that it is drilling or working-over.  Examples of when this might be necessary include unexpected extreme weather that exceeds the MODU/Vessel's capability to maintain its position. 

Under normal operating conditions, the MODU/WIV (which is floating on the sea surface) is connected to the oil/gas well (which is drilled in the sea bed) by a vertical (or near-vertical) piece of steel pipe, called a marine riser.  Tools and fluids are moved within the marine riser as required to/from the well. At the bottom of the marine riser, the EDP and other components that connect the riser to the well and allow the well to be shut-in when required, constitute a 'Lower Riser Package' (LRP). 

When required to do so, the EDP disconnects from the LRP and isolates the riser from the environment. Thus the EDP allows the MODU/WIV to safely and quickly disconnect from the subsea well and move away in an emergency.  The EDP is designed to carry out its function while under load with a high disconnection angle.

An EDP consists of a connector to the rest of the LRP, an isolation valve, an accumulator, a subsea control module and a connection point at the top for connection to the riser pipe. A production retainer valve shuts in the riser and the annulus master valve shuts in the riser. A crossover valve allows circulation of the riser after disconnection.
