Irmash. Irmash () was the leader in the production of road-building machines in the Soviet Union and is the largest in Russia. It has its headquarters in Bryansk. The company produces pavers, road rollers, graders, excavators, and utility equipment.

History 
In 1752, the industrialist Afanasiy Goncharov built the Raditsky Iron Plant in the Russian Empire. In 1862, the plant produced flour mills and threshing machines. By 1870, the plant produced railway cars, steam locomotives, and river steamers. In 1922 it turned into a car-construction plant.

In 1956, a decree of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union established the production in the plant of equipment for the cement industry and factories of silicate and refractory bricks. In 1964, it was reorganized into the Bryansk Plant of Irrigation Machines, becoming the leading enterprise in the Soviet Union for the production of trench excavator rotors, concrete-lining machines for the construction of canals, closed irrigation systems, and other equipment.

In 2016, the Irmash enterprise became part of the Russian Group of Engineering and Instrumentation Companies (GKMP). In 2019, the new ASF-G-3-01 paver model was launched.

Miesse. Miesse was a Belgian maker of cars and trucks, active from 1894 to 1974.

History
Jules Miesse set up a mechanical workshop in 1894, and built his first cars in 1896. In 1902 Thomas Turner & Company acquired a licence to build the cars in the United Kingdom - these Turner-Miesse cars were built until 1906. In 1927 the production of cars was discontinued, in favour of trucks and buses. Some were equipped with Diesel engines from German builder Junkers.

In 1929, Miesse acquired the Bollinckx works, who had produced since 1890 gas and steam engines, and compressors and tools for compressed air; this allowed increasing truck production to 100 per annum. The merged company was called Automobiles Miesse et Usines Bollinckx Société Anonyme; it was later renamed to Auto-Miesse.

After 1945, Miesse assembled Nash cars for the European market.

Miesse continued to exist till 1974.

Cars

Jules Miesse built his first automobile in 1896, it was steam powered. Serial production followed only in 1898.

Construction of cars and trucks followed, till 1907 some of them some were powered by 3-cylinder steam engines. Their frames were of "strengthened" wood, and only the boiler under the "hood".

Petrol engines were first tried in 1900. Miesse gained fame in Brussels with the taxi cabs they started producing in 1904.

Post-WW1 cars from Miesse had undersquare engines (69 mm × 130 mm), either a 4-cylinder of 2.0 litres or an 8-cylinder 4-litre; both models had many components in common.

Airtransit. Airtransit was a Canadian airline that provided short take-off and landing (STOL) service between Ottawa and Montreal. A subsidiary of Air Canada (then a Crown corporation), the airline operated from 1973 to 1976 before closing due to poor business.

History 
In 1970, the Science Council of Canada recommended that the government of Canada immediately invest in industrial development of the aviation industry, including construction of aircraft, navigation aids, and regulation of air traffic. The government began these projects shortly after the Science Council's report.

A subsidiary of Air Canada called Airtransit was founded by the government in 1973. Transport Canada developed the airline as a "pilot program" to test the feasibility of a link between the Victoria STOLport in Montreal and Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport in Ottawa, using an eleven seat De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, and later the De Havilland Canada Dash 7.

The service quickly ran into spending issues. Budget cuts at Air Canada, slow development of the Dash-7, noise concerns from citizens in Ottawa and Montreal, and inadequate infrastructure at Victoria STOLport forced Transport Canada to prematurely cancel the project in 1976.

Destinations

Fleet 
Originally used as bush planes, the Twin Otters used by Airtransit were modified specifically for business travellers on short distance trips.  The aircraft were equipped with oversized disc brakes and traction control as well as spoilers for the wings, a de-icing system for the propeller blades, emergency brakes, protection against engine fire, and autopilot in case of damage.

The cabin had eleven seats and fifteen windows, as well as one toilet, a cloakroom and air conditioning.

Ruth A. Weiss. Ruth A. Weiss is a British-American software engineer known for her work in computer graphics, especially the hidden-line removal problem.  She also developed, together with Richard Hamming, the L2 programming language, a floating-point mathematical package for the IBM 650.

Early life

Weiss was born in Willesden, Middlesex, England (now part of the Greater London area) on March 30, 1945.  She arrived in the United States on November 13, 1952, with her mother, Margaret Weiss (Marliese Oppá or Oppe), and her two brothers and maternal grandmother on the French ocean liner Ile de France, which sailed from Southampton on November 7, 1952.  Her father, Paul Weiss, a noted British mathematician of German descent, had already arrived in the U.S. in September 1950 and was living in Syracuse, NY.  Weiss was naturalized a U.S. citizen on April 28, 1964.

Career and accomplishments

While working for Bell Labs in the 1950s and 1960s, Weiss co-developed, with Richard Hamming, the L2 interpretive floating point package.  The L2 system was widely used within Bell Labs, and also by outside users, who knew it as Bell 2. It was superseded by Fortran when the IBM 650 was replaced by the IBM 704 in 1957. At Bell Labs she also worked on development of the Multics operating system.

Weiss's 1966 paper on her BE VISION software for the IBM 7090 describes hidden-line removal in curved surfaces, a challenging problem at the time.  This paper was acknowledged by inclusion in a 1998 compilation by SIGGRAPH of the seminal papers in computer graphics.  According to Carlson, "Ruth Weiss created in 1964 (published in 1966) some of the first algorithms for converting equations of surfaces to orthographic views on an output device."  In a 1966 paper, Ivan E. Sutherland stated that the problem of hidden-line removal remained unsolved for surfaces other than planes.  Two months later, Weiss corrected him in a letter to the same publication, citing her work in hidden-line removal in quadric surfaces.

Swietenia Puspa Lestari. Swietenia Puspa Lestari (born 23 December 1994) is an Indonesian underwater diver, environmental engineer and environmental activist.

Life 
Lestari is a native of Pramuka Island in the Java Sea. A keen diver from childhood, she studied environmental engineering at Bandung Institute of Technology, graduating in 2017. She is executive director and co-founder of Jakarta-based Divers Clean Action (DCA) and leads a team of volunteer divers who clear rubbish, especially plastic waste from the reefs and recycle what they find. Beginning with three people in 2015, the DCA has grown to 12 team members and nearly 1,500 volunteers across Indonesia. Lestari related that diving to collect waste can be dangerous because of the high currents, but that the rapid increase in tourism since 2007 has led to far more trash being dumped into the formerly pristine seas around Indonesia's many islands.

In 2017 Lestari founded the Indonesian Youth Marine Debris Summit (IYMDS). The same year, she represented Indonesia and spoke at the 2017 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany. She also helped initiate an anti-plastic drinking straw campaign in Indonesia and convinced 700 restaurants to reduce the use of single-use straws.

In 2019, Lestari was listed among the BBC's 100 Women, a list of 100 inspiring and influential women. Later that year, she was invited to attend Barack and Michelle Obama's 'Obama Foundation Leaders Forum', which was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in December. She was subsequently included in Forbes' "30 Under 30 - Asia - Social Entrepreneurs 2020".

Institut océanographique. The  () is an ocean education organization based in Monaco. The institute manages two ocean museums (in Monaco and Paris) and lobbies globally for the preservation of the oceans' ecology.

History
The Institut océanographique was founded in 1906 by Albert I, Prince of Monaco (the International Hydrographic Organization was launched in Monaco in 1921).

In 1957, Jacques Cousteau was appointed director of the Institut océanographique. In 1961, the Institut océanographique reached an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency to relocate the International Laboratory of Marine Radioactivity in Monaco.

In 1998, the Institut océanographique organized the second International Aquariology Congress (the first edition was held in 1958). The European Union of Aquarium Curators was created during this event.

The institute implemented the "Monaco Blue Initiative", a global initiative focused on deep sea biodiversity and large marine species, and backed by UNESCO. In 2016, hundreds of cubic meters of archives belonging to the Institut were found in the Schœlcher campus of the University of the French West Indies (Martinique). In 2019, the Institut océanographique invested 5 million euros in the opening of a care center for marine species, especially sick or injured turtles.

Shin-Nagoya Thermal Power Station. is a thermal power station operated by JERA in the Minato Ward of the city of Nagoya. Aichi Prefecture. Japan. The facility is located at the northern end of Chita Peninsula.

History
The Shin-Nagoya Thermal power Station is the only power plant located within the city limits of Nagoya, and provides much of the city's electricity for ordinary homes. Unit 1 started operation as a coal-fired power plant in 1959, and Units 2 through 6 were built by 1964, reaching a total output of 12,560 MW, making it the largest power plant in Asia at that time. All six units were converted from coal to heavy oil in 1972. Units 1 through 4 were abolished in 1992 as their equipment reach the end of is operational life, as were Units 5 and 6 in 2002. Unit 7 was completed in 1996 as an Advanced Combined Cycle system (ACC) using LNG as fuel with a  1300 deg C combustion temperature, driving six gas and six steam turbines. Unit 8 was built between 2005 and 2008 as a More Advanced Combined Cycle system (MACC) using LNG as fuel with a 1500 deg C combustion temperature, driving four gas turbines and four steam turbines.。

In April 2019, all thermal power plant operations of Chubu Electric Power were transferred to JERA, a joint venture between Chubu Electric and TEPCO Fuel & Power, Inc, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company.

Edward B. Craft. Edward Beech Craft (born 12 September 1881, Cortland, Ohio – 1929) was an American electrical and communications engineer.

After graduation from high school, Craft was superintendent of the lamp department at the Warren Electric and Speciality Company in Warren, Ohio. He joined the Western Electric Company in 1902 and worked for the company until his death in 1929. He was from 1902 to 1907 an electrical engineer in Chicago in the engineering department.  In New York he was from 1907 to 1918 (with interruption by military service in WW I) a development engineer and from 1918 to 1922 assistant chief engineer in charge of development and design. In 1922 he was appointed Western Electric's chief engineer as successor to Frank B. Jewett. Craft was responsible for over 70 patents in electrical communication. In 1925 Craft was appointed Executive Vice President of Bell Telephone Laboratories. He worked with Edwin H. Colpitts, Harold D. Arnold, and Frank B. Jewett.

During WW I in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, Craft was a captain from March 1917 to December 1917 and a major from March 1917 to May 1918. From June 1918 to October 1918 he was a technical advisor on radio communication to the U.S. Navy in London, UK.

From about 1920 Craft worked on sound film. Under his leadership, a team headed by I. B. Crandall developed sound-on-film and another team headed by J. P. Maxfield developed sound-on-disc. On 27 October 1926, Craft presented to the New York Society of Electrical Engineers the  sound film The Voice from the Screen starring the vaudeville duo Witt & Berg. The following year The Jazz Singer premiered.

By 1928 the sound film equipment developed under Craft's direction had overwhelming dominance among the Hollywood studios.

On 21 October 1902 in Ironton, Ohio, he married Mary R. Richards. They had one daughter, Clara Virginia Craft (born 1908).

L1 and L2 (programming language). The L1 and L2 interpreted languages were developed by Bell Labs in the 1950s to provide floating-point arithmetic capabilities, simplified memory access, and other enhancements for the IBM model 650 (IBM 650) digital computer and allow users to more easily develop application-specific code for these machines.

History

L1 was developed by Michael Wolontis and Dolores Leagus and was released in September 1955.  Later, Richard Hamming and Ruth A. Weiss developed the L2 package which enhanced L1 by providing additional mathematical capabilities tailored to more engineering-oriented applications.  L1 and L2 were widely used within Bell Labs, and also by outside users, who usually called them "Bell 1 and Bell 2."  According to Bell Labs, "In the late 1950s, at least half the IBM 650s doing scientific and engineering work used either Bell 1 or Bell 2."
