Assistep. AssiStep (Assitech AS) is an accessibility device that can by used by people with reduced mobility to climb and descend the stairs. It consists of a railing system fixed to the wall, on which a handle is attached. The product was developed in Trondheim (Norway) and is now sold in 16 countries.

Use   
The handle provides support through a locking mechanism. The user holds onto the handle, similarly to a rollator. To go up and down the stairs, the user raises the handle an armlength forward and it locks itself when downward pressure is exerted.

The product can be used by people measuring between 120 cm and 200 cm length and supports a maximal user weight of 120 kg. The railing system consists of a standard 4,2 cm diameter stainless steel railing that extends 9,6 cm out from the wall. The handle extends a total of 45,6 cm out from the wall when in use and 18,4 cm when folded to the side.

Development 
The AssiStep was developed by former engineering students from NTNU, in cooperation with the School of Occupational therapy in Trondheim, where the goals were to develop a tool not requiring electricity and to prevent stairway falls. They started in 2012 while they were still enrolled at the university. The product development took 3 years, before AssiStep was launched in 2015. In the beginning of 2020, it was available in a total of 16 countries. The development and production phases were financed through a crowdfunding campaign where 2 million kroner were invested in the project.

The AssiStep has been awarded or nominated several times: 
The award for "Best solution" by the Silver Eco Ageing Well Award 2019  
Nominated to the prize for the best Nordic innovation
The award for best Nordic collaboration project in 2016 by the Nordic Council
Second place in the Venture Cup edition of 2013, a Scandinavian business plan competition

Certifications 
AssiStep has been tested and certified by the German company TÜV, an organization providing inspection and product certification services. It complies with the technical safety standards EN ISO 12182: 2012 (mobility aid for the elderly) and EN ISO 14971: 2012 (medical devices).

Rear Occupant Alert. Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) is motor vehicle manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company's automated vehicle alert system to detect the presence of an occupant in the rear seat of a passenger motor vehicle.

The basic system uses door logic. If a rear door is opened and closed and the vehicle is turned on, a dashboard alert will activate when the vehicle is then turned off and the driver begins to exit the vehicle. An enhanced system, called Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert, also uses ultrasonic sensors. If the vehicle is locked and the ultrasonic sensors on the headlining detect movement in the rear seats, the system will flash the hazards lights and sound the horn for 25 seconds, and again if the system continue to detect movement, for up to eight times total.

Other motor vehicle manufacturers' systems include General Motors's Rear Seat Reminder, Nissan's Rear Door Alert, and Subaru's Rear Seat Reminder.

In the United States, a proposed law would make such a system mandatory in passenger vehicles.

Multi-attribute auction. A multi-attribute auction is a type of auction in which the bids have multiple parts. Multi-attribute auctions allow agents to sell and purchase goods and services, taking into account more attributes than just price (e.g. service time, tolerances, qualities, etc.).

History 
The earliest research paper about a multi-attribute auction appeared in a 1994 discussion on construction contracts. In 1997, they were discussed in the context of long-term electricity contracts.

Attributes 
The structural elements of a bid are called designated attributes. Attributes may be verifiable, unverifiable, or auctioneer-provided. If bids include a single quality, such as price, the auction is referred to as a single-attribute auction. Generally, bids are prices in English auctions, and confirmations in Dutch and Japanese auctions. In Brazilian auctions, they refer to the numbers of units being traded. 

A scoring, or utility function, is essential for multi-attribute auctions, as it calculates a single number from multiple attributes, making bids that vary in multiple ways comparable.
This scoring function is announced by the auctioneer to the bidders before the start of the auction.

European Battery Alliance. The European Battery Alliance (EBA) is Europe's plan to create its own competitive and sustainable battery cell manufacturing value chain. Its purpose is to ensure that Europe benefits from the technological evolution in the Electric Vehicle Market and beyond. The action plan includes cleaner and more sustainable vehicles as well as safer traffic operations across Europe.

Stakeholders 
120 industrial innovation stakeholders are currently active under the EBA alliance in partnership with participant EU states and the European Investment Bank. This entails growth and investment potential of the battery sector across Europe and beyond.

Operations 
The action plan adopted focuses on innovating and developing a sustainable and competitive battery 'ecosystem' within Europe. The primary objective is to create a manufacturing value chain with sustainable battery cells at its core in order to avoid a technological dependence from 3rd parties. According to analysts, by 2025, Europe could capture a €250 billion market. EU wide demand is forecast to demand 10 to 20 large-scale battery cell production facilities. The first planned plant, called the "Automotive Cell Co.", will be stationed at a Groupe PSA’s site in Kaiserslautern. Saft Groupe S.A. will be taking part in the operations as this plant will be complementing another production facility located at Hauts-de-France. The two plants are to be operational by 2024, employ around 2,000 and serve up to 15% of Europe's demand.

Environmental impact 
The European Union and all stakeholders involved are considering the entire life-cycle of batteries, including the environmental gains of use and the impact triggered by their production. Recycling and the recovery of materials at the end of the life cycle reduces the impact of both mining and manufacturing.  emissions and hazardous substances used are lowered and the impact of mining is reduced. The EU wants to ensure recycling through the Battery Directive to offset the negative side of the equation.

Economic impact 
The European Commission sees batteries as a core component of the current industrial revolution. It sees the development and production of this technology as having a strategic commercial role in the transition to clean mobility and clean Energy systems. Bernstein Research stated that developing European cell capacity could cost as much as $30bn (€25bn).

History 
EBA was launched in October 2017 by Vice President Maroš Šefčovič.

On 30 september 2020, the EU launched its European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). It is aiming for strategic autonomy on critical raw materials. It is modelled on the European Battery Alliance and focuses on metals and rare earths which are used to build magnets for batteries and all kinds of electric and electronic devices. Part of its objectives is to allow the EU to become "almost" self-sufficient on lithium for batteries by 2025.

Evan Thomas (inventor). Evan Thomas (died after 1881) was a Welsh ironmonger who became an inventor and manufacturer of safety lamps for miners. He was the original proprietor of the Cambrian Lamp Works, established in Aberdare in 1860.

In 1867, Thomas patented an improvement to the design of the safety lamp that would prevent the glass in the lamp from becoming loose by using india rubber. In 1868, he obtained a patent for "an improvement in the construction of miners' safety lamps, in such a manner as to enable petroleum or other mineral oils to be consumed therein". Thomas's best-selling lamp, the "no. 7", improved on a lamp invented in 1816 by William Reid Clanny, and was successful in passing tests set in 1886 by the Royal Commission on Accidents in Mines; it was selected as one of the four recommended types of lamp.

In 1879, Evan Thomas was reported to have gone into partnership with John Davies in the ironmongery he ran in Ferndale. This partnership was separate to the lamp business, and Thomas exhibited under his own name at the 1881 International Electric Exhibition at Crystal Palace. At some stage, Thomas went into partnership with a Mr Williams, to create the company known as Evan Thomas & Williams. 

After 1978, the firm continued to trade from an address in Robertstown Industrial Estate, Aberdare. Evan Thomas & Williams were believed to be the oldest surviving firm of safety lamp manufacturers in the world, and continued to make replica lamps after the closure of the last mines in the South Wales Coalfield.

Radar Fence Transponder. Radar Fence Transponder (also called Navy-OSCAR 60 or RAFT 1) was an amateur radio satellite that was developed and built for training purposes at the United States Naval Academy. The  heavy RAFT had a cubic structure of  edge length and therefore did not meet the Cubesat standard. Solar cells on all six sides of the satellite were used to supply energy. It had neither position control nor drive systems.

RAFT contained a receiver at 216.98 MHz for calibration experiments of the U.S. Navy Space Surveillance Radar. For amateur radio connections there was an AX.25 digipeater on 145.825 MHz with built-in speech synthesizer on board.

Two fixed antennas equipped with springs were used for communication and also as a separation system for the almost identical sister satellite MARScom. Furthermore, a  long wire antenna made of  nitinol wire for the 10 m amateur radio band was unwound on shortwave during the disconnection process, with which the satellite received signals in the PSK31 operating mode.

Mission
The satellite was released on 21 December 2006 with Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-116) from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

On 30 May 2007, it was re-entered on Earth atmosphere.

Intermuscular coordination. Intermuscular coordination describes the coordination within different muscles and groups of muscles. These are used for sceletoral movement, stabilisation of joints, as well as stabilisation of body positioning.

central nervous system is controlling positioning of joints via anticipatory and correcting adaptions of posture, that work against occurring intersegmental forces.

The specific role and hierarchy of certain muscles and their meaning for certain movements is further differentiated within literature.

Usage 
Joints are stabilised by interacting muscles, so called synergist muscle. Different synergists feature partial similar functions. Therefore, a certain movement can be formed out of different combinations and participations of muscles acting on a certain joint.

Even muscles not being in a direct connection towards a certain joint can fulfill a stabilising function for that very joint. For a clear specification of any muscles function it is necessary to measure precisely muscular function of not directly involved muscles within certain movements via elktromyografia.

Complex movement structures are coordinated within the cerebellum via somatosensoric feedback via psychomotoric learning.

Examples 

 Vestibulorcerebellum controls balance and eye-movement. Therefore, view is stable, hull- and thighmuscles are keeping their tension within movements 
 Spinocerebellum coordinates activity of armmuscles towards each other 
 pontocerbellum coordinates fingers and their muscles movements

Roux culture bottle. A Roux culture bottle, or simply Roux bottle, is a type of laboratory glassware used in biology and related sciences to grow microorganisms or tissue cells.  It consists of a bottle of transparent glass or plastic with two closely spaced flat, rectangular, parallel faces and a short neck; of such a design that the bottle can be laid down sideways, on one of those two faces, even when unstoppered and partially filled with a culture medium.  This goal is achieved by having the neck narrowed, offset, partially blocked, or canted (tilted).  The item is also generically called cell culture bottle or tissue culture (TC) bottle, and flask may be used instead of "bottle".

A Roux bottle provides a large surface for the cells or microorganisms to grow, whether on the top of, floating in, or at the bottom of the medium. The flat upper face then allows inspection of the culture and even illumination for photosynthetic organisms.  Organisms growing at the bottom of the medium can also be inspected from below, with an inverted microscope.

The bottle is typically closed with a plug or cap that prevents contamination of the culture by spores from the outside, while still allowing exchange of gases generated or consumed by the organisms inside.

The bottle's invention has been attributed to French physician and Pasteur's collaborator Pierre Roux (1853-1933).

Variations
The "DeLong" type has a horizontal neck with a low barrier at the base. There is a cylindrical version that is meant to be slowly tuned on rollers to keep the contents well mixed.
