Loring Air Force Base Alert Area. The Loring Air Force Base Alert Area is a former alert area for B-52 Stratofortress aircraft of the 42d Bombardment Wing situated at the former Loring Air Force Base at Limestone, Maine. It was constructed in 1960 due to a demand by the Strategic Air Command that its bomber bases have a staging area to launch alerts from.

History
The alert force at Loring was established on October 15, 1957. Three months later, the 42d Bombardment Wing began supporting an alert force with six aircraft, later expanding to the entire wing. During the later half of 1958, the alert force was a member of Operation Head Start, the first test in the United States Air Force of sustained airborne alert operations. At or around this time, it was decided to move the alert force to a dedicated location to the southeast of the runway. 

From 1960 until 1967, alert forces remained at the new location, until the 1965 submission of Project One Roof was implemented. The submission of this project by base staff consolidated alert functions back under the roof of Building 6000, which had previously hosted the alert forces until the alert area's construction. For the next sixteen years, the alert area would remain vacant until 1983, when a major renovation to the mole hole building allowed for the area to be occupied again. By 1972, the alert force was reduced so that 62% of the bomber and 72% of the tanker force would be on alert. Increased military funding in the early 1980s due to the domestic policies of Ronald Reagan's administration allowed for a wing to be added to the mole hole. This allowed for the building to be reoccupied until the drawdown of forces under the administration of George H. W. Bush in the early 1990s.

Buildings
The alert area is a forty acre high-security area located to the southeast corner of the runway, and bordered to the east by forest. It also contains a Christmas tree and mole hole, among other buildings. Within the alert area, a 1994 survey identified the following buildings facilities as existing: "One Christmas tree apron (Structure No. 540), the Alert Crew Readiness Building (8970), a surveillance and control tower (8990), a Security Police Entry Control Building (8965), an electric power station building (8966), a heating fuel oil storage tank (8967), and tennis courts (14501). A road surrounds the Alert Area just inside the security fence."

ROV PHOCA. ROV PHOCA is a remotely operated underwater vehicle of the COMANCHE type. It was built by sub-Atlantic, Aberdeen, Scotland and is owned by the GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. Its smaller size compared to the ROV KIEL 6000 and therefore its deploy ability from medium-sized research vessels makes it a complement to the QUEST type ROV. It can dive up to 3000m (9842.52 feet) and was designed as a Work-Class- and Intervention-ROV.

It is characterized by these features:

 2 manipulators facilitate different sampling procedures
 Digital video cameras on pan-&-tilt units are used as survey and mapping devices
 It is fitted with the following auto-functions: depth, heading and altitude
 The digital telemetry system SubCanTM provides real time data transmission
 A payload of up to 100 kg allows the integration of different additional scientific equipment
 ROV PHOCA is deployed in the so-called live-boating mode, i.e. it is directly connected to the respective vessel via a steel armoured optical fiber cable

ROV PHOCA's main employment will be the installation and maintenance of the deep sea observatory MoLab, but also within other multi-disciplinary projects such as projects by the Cluster of Excellence "The Future Ocean".

Tri-R Technologies. Tri-R Technologies was an American aircraft manufacturer that produced kit aircraft for homebuilt construction.

Tri-R Technologies was founded by Richard Trickel to develop composite homebuilt aircraft kits that were in the middle of the price and performance range averages. The company's first products were composite subassemblies for Berkut aircraft and Lancair 235, Lancair 320 and Lancair IV homebuilts. The company's aircraft products were named KIS, short for "Keep it Simple".

Trickel originally drew a new aircraft as a set of three-views for a customer in Australia who was looking for a new, conventional aircraft concept. The customer liked the design, but never paid for the drawings, so Trickel brought them home and completed the design work himself. Eventually the new design became the Tri-R KIS TR-1.

Debubblizer. A debubblizer is a surface tension chemical compound that is used in certain industrial processes to minimize air bubbles when casting a mold or impression. In some manufacturing operations, such as dentistry, it is also referred to as surfactant or a wetting agent that is sprayed on the set impression material to improve wettability. Its reduction of surface tension allows for mixing and will eliminate air bubbles to produce fine casings.

Composition and Structure 

During the bulk aqueous phase, the debubblizer formula bonds where the water-resistant tails form the center of the mass, and the waterproof heads are in contact with the surrounding liquid. Other types of groups and water-resistant charges touch the surrounding fluid. Additional forms can also combine to make spherical or cylindrical micelles or lipid bilayers. The shape of the chemical combinations depends on the chemical structure of the debubblizer. This is calculated by measuring the hydrophilic balance (HLB). The debubblizer reduces the surface tension of the water by going through surface assimilation when in the liquid-air stage.

Applications 
While debubblizer is often used when pouring molds because of its chemical effect on oxygen, it is often used for other processes such as those referenced in the term surfactant.

Engineering 
In engineering, a debubblizer pertains to an individual or device that removes bubbles from plastic tubing rods.

Vineyard Power Co-operative. Vineyard Power Co-operative is "a community owned renewable energy co-operative based on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts."

Vineyard Power develops local renewable energy projects and plans to assist the island of Martha's Vineyard to meet the energy goals of the Island Plan, and work towards a 100% renewable energy supply. The founding of Vineyard Power was inspired by the renewable energy vision of the people of Samso island in Denmark.

Wind Power
Offshore wind development is another of the motivations for creating the Vineyard Power Co-op, with the recognition this energy source would need community support. The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) classifies the sound and ocean around Martha's Vineyard to be "Excellent" (between 7.5 and 8 meters per second (m/s) in regard to energy generation potential, at 50 meters altitude) or "Outstanding" (between 8.0 and 8.8 m/s). The first proposal for offshore wind in the area, known as Cape Wind, created significant opposition focused on the lack of community involvement, and visual impacts. https://www.nrel.gov/news/program/2011/1437.html That project obtained a lease for development in Federal waters six miles from land in Nantucket Sound.

Vineyard Power organized public input into the planning wind farm development off the southern shores of the island, with OffshoreMW, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE).  This collaboration began as the Martha's Vineyard Offshore Wind Alliance (MVOWA) in 2011. The Vineyard Power Co-op signed a Community Benefits Agreement with that one developer to formalize this arrangement for mutual benefit, and to pursue better community input and economic development for the people of Martha's Vineyard. The development is now called Vineyard Wind. The permitting process for this offshore windfarm is underway.

Solar Power

During the years when the Federal process for offshore wind development moved slowly, the Co-op identified opportunities to develop solar projects on the island. The first of these were solar canopies in the parking lot at the locally-owned supermarket. Benefits for more citizens came through building solar on town-owned landfills. Town of Aquinnah chose the company, after an RFP, for a solar plant.  Construction was started and completed in 2012. The most recent solar project completed is on the roof of the Boys and Girls Club.

100% Renewable Energy
The Co-op promotes planning and practices that reduce fossil fuel use and the replacement with renewable electricity. The first solar canopies built by the Co-op include electric vehicle chargers. The Co-op continues to support electric vehicle adoption.  Leaders of island organizations met in September 2017 at the initiative of the Co-op and Environment Massachusetts to develop a vision of 100% renewable energy use for the island.

ARTag. An ARTag is a fiducial marker system to support 3D registration (alignment) and pose tracking in augmented reality.  They can be used to facilitate the appearance of virtual objects, games, and animations within the real world.  Like the earlier ARToolKit system, they allow for video tracking capabilities that calculate a camera's position and orientation relative to physical markers in real time.  Once the camera's position is known, a virtual camera can be positioned at the same point, revealing the virtual object at the location of the ARTag.  It thus addresses two of the key problems in Augmented Reality: viewpoint tracking and virtual object interaction.

An ARTag appears on the Mars Science Laboratory.
A similar technique is being used by NASA's Spacecraft 3D smartphone app as an educational outreach tool.

ARTag is supported by the open source Goblin XNA software.

I-TEC Maverick. The ITEC Maverick is a powered parachute aircraft with a roadable fuselage.

Design and development
Equipped with a powered parachute certified by the FAA, the Maverick received experimental aircraft airworthiness certification on April 14, 2008, with N-Number 356MV.

Capable of interstate speeds on pavement, the Maverick's dune buggy-like frame of chromoly tubing gives it the ability to be used off-road. Additionally, the vehicle can deploy a parafoil and fly as a powered parachute. It weighs about 1100 pounds and has a useful carrying capacity equivalent to a Cessna 172 (fuel and 550 pounds cargo). With a 22-foot mast, the Maverick can take off and land in weather conditions that other powered parachutes would not be able to safely operate in. The developer, Steve Saint has said he envisions the Maverick being useful to the Huaorani and other Indian groups, farmers and ranchers, pipeline inspection crews and anyone else with a requirement to traverse rough, roadless ground. Popular Mechanics gave it their Breakthrough Award in 2009. In 2012, the Maverick was accepted by the United States FAA to operate as an Experimental homebuilt, S-LSA, or E-LSA.

Project status
There were two accidents – in which there were no deaths – involving the parachute wing.  Due to insufficient resources to re-engineer the wing, development of the Maverick has been concluded. ITEC is seeking a buyer that will continue development of the aircraft.

Bar puller. A bar puller is a tool for automatically drawing in material (round tubes or solid bars) on a CNC lathe. The machined part is cut off and new material has to be fed into the machine.

Function 

Bar pullers are used in CNC lathes to automatically draw in bars from the clamping chuck. In this case they serve as a substitute for a bar feeder on an NC/CNC lathe.

The clamping chuck is fitted directly into the turret of the lathe or into the bar holder. There are two different versions, depending on the design: Start on the X-axis (starting from the radius) or start on the Z-axis (direction of the spindle).

A bar feeder magazine and workpiece stop are not required when a bar puller is used.

Material 

The housing can be made of aluminium or steel, the top jaws are made of case-hardened steel, tempered steel and burnished.

History 

The history of the bar puller begins with the introduction of the NC/CNC lathes in around 1980. At this time lathes were changed to permit inexpensive and economical production of small or medium-sized batches.

The bar puller serves to draw bars into the lathe without operators having to feed the machine with material each time it is required. With the introduction of CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) for the lathes it was possible to ensure the reliability of the individual process operations (moving the turret to the material, opening the clamping chuck, drawing in the material, closing the clamping chuck, moving the turret away with the bar puller).
