Alloy broadening. Alloy broadening is a mechanism by which the spectral lines of an alloy are broadened by the random distribution of atoms within the alloy. It is one of a number of spectral line broadening mechanisms.

Alloy broadening occurs because the random distribution of atoms in an alloy causes a different material composition at different positions. In semiconductors and insulators the different material composition leads to different band gap energies. This gives different exciton recombination energies. Therefore, depending on the position where an exciton recombines the emitted light has a different energy. The alloy broadening is an inhomogeneous line broadening, meaning that its shape is Gaussian.

Binary alloy
In the mathematical description it is assumed that no clustering occurs within the alloy. Then, for a binary alloy of the form A_{1-x}B_{x}, e.g. Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}, the standard deviation of the composition is given by: 

,

where  is the number of atoms within the excitons' volume, i.e.  with  being the atoms per volume. 
In general, the band gap energy  of a semiconducting alloy depends on the composition, i.e. . The band gap energy can be considered to be the fluorescence energy. Therefore, the standard deviation in fluorescence is:

 

As the alloy broadening belongs to the group of inhomogeneous broadenings the line shape of the fluorescence intensity  is Gaussian:

BatiBUS. BatiBus was a network protocol for building automation that was introduced in 1989 and has since been succeeded by KNX. It was a relatively simple low-cost protocol that did not rely on dedicated chips.

The system was run by the BatiBus Club International (BCI), which was founded by the Swiss company Landis & Gyr and the French companies AIRELEC, Electricité de France and Merlin Gerin (who originated the concept). Predominately used in France and captured by French Electrical Standard NF C 46620, it provided layers 1, 2 and 7 of the OSI model. Approximately 500,000 BatiBus network units were installed, mainly in France.

BatiBus communicated over twisted pair lines and in topologies that could be divided into several segments. Each segment was powered with a 15 volt power supply rated at 150 milliamps. A device (node) could be reached at one of 240 possible addresses. In addition, 16 group addresses could be established under which all nodes in a group could be reached. The nodes avoided data collisions via CSMA/CA and had data flow controls. The maximum data transfer rate was 4800 bits/s.

Aeolus S30. The Aeolus S30 or previously the Dongfeng Fengshen S30 is a subcompact sedan produced by Dongfeng Motor Corporation under the Aeolus (Dongfeng Fengshen) sub-brand from 2009 to 2017. The 5-door hatchback version was called Aeolus H30.

Overview

The development of a new Dongfeng brand sedan began in the mid-2000s by exploiting the synergy with the French group PSA which, thanks to Dongfeng, built numerous models for the local market in China. A first prototype called Dongfeng DFM7160 was built on the chassis of the Citroën Fukang (the Chinese version of the Citroën ZX) and was a three-volume sedan with front lights of the Peugeot 206 and rear lights of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class while the doors and cockpit were the same as the Citroën Elysée. However, this prototype remained a unique example as it was too cheap and technically outdated to enter the market and Dongfeng began working in 2007 on a new project based on PSA technologies. An agreement was also made with Italdesign for the style and engineering of the new car. In April 2009, the new Dongfeng Fengshen S30 officially debuted, the first car of the new Fengshen brand (translated into English language as Aeolus) intended to sell passenger vehicles (sedans and crossovers) of the Dongfeng group.
The S30 used the platform of the Citroën ZX/Fukang but had a specific body design and a more modern interior. The mechanical scheme was the same as the Citroën models with front-wheel drive, MacPherson suspension at the front and interconnected wheels with a torsional axle at the rear, 105 horsepower 1.6 PSA four-cylinder TU5 engine. The gearbox was a 5-speed PSA manual or a 4-speed Aisin automatic. 4.56 meters long, it had a wheelbase of 2.61 meters. Production of the sedan version starts in July 2009 at the Wuhan plant.

2013 facelift

A facelift was revealed in March 2013, changing the front and rear DRG styling, with prices starting from 59,800 yuan and ending at 88,800 yuan.

Fengshen S30 PHEV concept

Dongfeng revealed the Fengshen S30 PHEV based on the facelifted Fengshen S30 sedan during the 2016 Beijing Auto Show in concept form, but was never intended for production.

Fengshen H30 hatchback

The Dongfeng Fengshen H30 is essentially the hatchback version of the Dongfeng Fengshen S30 subcompact sedan, with prices starting from 69,800 yuan and ending at 93,800 yuan.

Fengshen H30 Cross
A version of the H30 featuring crossover accents variant the such as plastic cladding around the wheel arches and bumpers was introduced also at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show as the Dongfeng Fengshen H30 Cross, with prices starting from 86,800 yuan and ending at 97,800 yuan. A facelift was revealed in March 2013, discontinuing the regular H30 hatchback and changing the front DRG styling of the H30 Cross.

Ścibor-Rylski ŚR-3. The Ścibor-Rylski ŚR-3 was a Polish, ultralight, low power, single-seat sports aircraft. First flown in August 1939, only one was completed before World War II.

Design and development
Like several other amateur Polish designers in  the 1930s, Adam Ścibor-Rylski was interested in simple, low cost machines. As a student at the Warsaw Technical University, he began his studies with the ŚR-1, an attempt to motorize the Wrona basic, open-frame glider. Difficulties in mounting an engine in this structure led to the ŚR-2 which had the Wrona wing married to a new nacelle. By 1937 he had dropped these projects in favour of a more refined, cabin aircraft. This, the ŚR-3, was the subject of his diploma. With the encouragement of LOPP and the Silesian Gliding Workshop (SWS) he received government funding.

The ŚR-3 was a wooden aircraft with a high cantilever wing. The wing was a one piece structure built around a single spar and tapered in plan. It was plywood covered apart from a small fabric covered area aft of the auxiliary spar that carried the ailerons. These were unbalanced and operated differentially.

It was first fitted with a  Avia 4 flat-four engine which failed during ground trials and was replaced by a  Sarolea Albatros flat twin with a fuel tank in the wing. Behind the engine the fuselage was a rectangular section,  stressed ply skinned structure, with a rounded roof between the wing trailing edge and the tail where the fuselage narrowed strongly in profile.  The ŚR-3's single-seat cockpit was under the wing leading edge and had an upward hinged, one-piece transparent cover.

Its empennage was also ply covered and unbalanced, with the tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage. The fin was almost triangular and carried a full, semi-elliptical rudder which operated between the elevators.

The ŚR-3 had small mainwheels mounted close to the fuselage on short, curved V-struts which had a rubber-in-compression shock absorber within the fuselage.

Zbiniew Żabski flew the ŚR-3 on its first flight at the end of August 1939. Though SWS had hoped to produce the ŚR-3 in both kit and complete forms, the German invasion of Poland a few days after the first flight ended such hopes. The ŚR-3 was reportedly taken by the invaders and flown by the Dortmund Nazi youth organisation.

GS&WR Class 362. The Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) Class 362, also known as class B3, consisted of six locomotives designed by Robert Coey and built between 1905 and 1907 for goods traffic and was the first tender locomotive to utilise the  wheel arrangement in Ireland.

History
The class was designed to be more powerful than his preceding class 355 .  It was the first mainline use of the  wheel arrangement in Ireland, and  an axle loading of under .

Chas. S. Lake, in his book Locomotives of 1906 illustrated the type as an example of the  becoming considered for other than express passenger usage, the Class 362 with its  driving wheels optimised for freight work. The GS&WR selected engine 366 to be displayed at the 1907 Dublin Exhibition.

While the designed increase in power was achieved the type did have some operational issues, these included being too long for some turntables, a tendency for rough riding at speed and incidents of derailment due to lack of weight on the forward bogie.  The class did not compare favourably with class 355 when the former were converted to the 2-6-0 wheel arrangement and were withdrawn by 1931.

There is a detailed O Gauge model of engine 362 in the Fry model railway collection.

Tungsten(II) chloride. Tungsten(II) chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula W6Cl12.  It is a polymeric cluster compound.  The material dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid, forming (H3O)2[W6Cl14](H2O)x. Heating this salt gives yellow-brown W6Cl12.  The structural chemistry resembles that observed for molybdenum(II) chloride.

Tungsten(II) chloride is prepared by reduction of the hexachloride.  Bismuth is a typical reductant:
6 WCl6  +  8 Bi  →   W6Cl12  +  8 BiCl3

Bobo Explores Light. Bobo Explores Light is an education book app for iPad that introduces children to light and light related topics. It was released in September 2011. Bobo was developed by Game Collage in collaboration with journalist Bob Tedeschi, creator and author of The New York Times’ weekly App Smart column. In 2012, Bobo Explores Light won an Apple Design Award.
This app was discontinued without notice.

Features 
The main character is a friendly, humorous robot named Bobo who helps kids learn about light. He serves as guide throughout the 21 chapters exploring light-related subjects such as lighting, bioluminescence, lasers, refraction and the human eye. Targeted for school-aged children, the app presents interactive elements, supplementary videos, articles, animations and trivia.

Development and release 

In 2010 Tedeschi came up with the idea to write about the process of developing and publishing an app. He teamed up with app developer Juraj Hlavac and illustrator Dean MacAdam and together they developed Bobo Explores Light over a six-month period. In order to avoid preferential treatment from Apple and other journalists, Tedeschi used the pseudonym Craig Fusco.

The app was released in September 12, 2011 for iPad, under the books category.

Recognition 
Upon launch it was noted by Apple as iPad App of the Week, receiving positive press. It reached first place in the US top iPad book sales in the same month. In June 2012, Apple presented the 2012 Apple Design Awards at the WWDC winners selecting Bobo Explores Light as one of the iPad winners.

Derek Buckler. Chadwick Derek Frank Buckler (26 September 19103 March 1964), commonly called Derek Buckler, is founder of a limited production British sports car company, Buckler Cars Ltd.

Background 
Buckler was born in Hornsey, London.  He was educated at Tottenham Grammar School and S Thomas College. From 1927 to 1929 he trained as an engineer with Frank Buckler Ltd. Followed by working for the legal firm Crossman Block and Co to 1933. In 1934 he joined Watford Dairies as a Transport and Sales Manager. He became a Director of the engineering firm Johnson Roberts Ltd in 1939, was at coach builders W. C. Ford Ltd. until 1956, and starting in 1945 worked at Rivers Motors (Reading) Ltd.

Buckler was Managing Director of Bucklers of Reading Ltd and Buckler Cars Ltd. He was also a committee member of the Hants and Berks Motor Club and belonged to BARC, Hants and Berks Motor Club, London Motor Club, and the Athenaeum Club, Reading.

Buckler Cars Ltd. 
In 1939, Buckler started a precision engineering business in Reading which undertook work for the motor trade. In 1947 he formed Buckler Cars Limited and began to produce sports cars, primarily for racing.

The first model, based on Buckler's own very successful 1947 Buckler Special, was called the Mark V. Buckler allegedly did not want people to think it was the first car.

After success in the early and mid-1950s, the popularity of Buckler cars waned. He gained new success building go karts in the 1960s. Due to ill health, Buckler sold his company in 1962.

After being in poor health for some time, Buckler died in 1964.

BRP Cape Engaño. BRP Cape Engaño (MRRV-4411) is the tenth ship of the Parola-class patrol vessels of the Philippine Coast Guard.

Design and features
The Philippine Coast Guard clarified that the ship is a law enforcement vessel and is designed to conduct environmental and humanitarian missions, as well as maritime security operations and patrol missions.

The ship was designed with a bulletproof navigation bridge, and is equipped with fire monitors, night vision capability, a work boat, and radio direction finder capability.

The ship will be equipped with communications and radio monitoring equipment from Rohde & Schwarz, specifically the M3SR Series 4400 and Series 4100 software-defined communication radios, and DDF205 radio monitoring equipment. These equipment enhances the ship's reconnaissance, pursuit and communications capabilities.

Construction, delivery and commissioning
BRP Cape Engaño was completed sea trials in Yokohama, Japan and arrived at the Philippine Coast Guard National Headquarters in August 2018.

BRP Cape Engaño was commissioned by the Philippine Coast Guard at Philippine Coast Guard National Headquarters on August 23, 2018, along with BRP Bagacay in a double commission ceremony.

Operational history
In October 2018, the BRP Cape Engaño along with the  assisted in the transfer of passengers of the M/V Super Shuttle 18 which was stranded off the port of Malay, Aklan due to engine trouble. All of the 142 passengers of the M/V Super Shuttle 18 were later safely brought to the Caticlan Jetty Port.

China Coast Guard ramming incident 

On August 19, 2024, Cape Engaño along with the BRP Bagacay suffered damage after being rammed by China Coast Guard ships off the Sabina Shoal. Bagacay suffered a 3-foot hole above the waterline. A 60 Minutes crew with journalist Cecilia Vega were onboard the Cape Engaño when it was surrounded by 14 Chinese Coast Guard and Maritime Militia ships and rammed at 4am by a China Coast Guard vessel. The ramming tore a 3 1/2 foot hole above the waterline on the Cape Engaño.

Robert H. Starr. Robert H. Starr (February 6, 1924 – June 15, 2009) was the designer, builder and pilot of The World's Smallest Piloted Biplane Airplane, the Starr Bumble Bee II.  The Guinness Book of Records awarded The Bumble Bee the official world record title in 1985 and with the flight of the Bumble Bee II, the record still stands today 2022.

Military service
After his military service he flew P-51 and F-86's in the California Air National Guard. Spent a year on active duty with Air Defense off the southern California coast. During his duty with Air Defense Command he was scrambled to investigate bogies in radar range off the California coast. From Starr's memoirs page: "On several occasions, me and my wing man had visual confirmation of what could only be described as a UFO, mostly cigar shaped objects with no visible means of propulsion and yet each time we gave chase at full throttle, they left us behind as if we were standing still. I had many experiences with UFO sightings during my time with the Air National Guard".

Flying small planes
In 1950, Starr was the primary test pilot of the previous world's smallest airplane record holders named Sky Baby and Stits SA-1A Junior. The partnership on the Sky Baby project ended, but he knew he could build a smaller more stable airplane. So, in 1980 at the age of 60 he designed and built the Bumble Bee I which he flew on January 28, 1984. He made modifications on his design and then built the Bumble Bee II the following year. He flew the Bumble Bee II on May 8, 1988, and broke his previous record making the Bumble Bee II the World's Smallest Manned Biplane according to Guinness Book of Records. During one of the subsequent flights of the Bumble Bee II, the engine failed on downwind and the plane was destroyed in the resulting crash. Starr sustained serious injuries in the crash but subsequently recovered. The Bumble Bee I previous world record holder plane is on permanent display at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.

In civilian life he had participated in most of the largest Air Shows in the United States and had also been a test pilot for experimental aircraft over the years.

Bridge plate (marking). Bridge Plates are markings used on Allied vehicles beginning in World War II that indicate the weight of the vehicle in tons as well as the weight classification of the vehicle. This was used to calculate whether a vehicle, or series of vehicles, could safely cross a bridge with a given rating.

While originally designed by the British as an affixed metal plate that was yellow in color, later in the war (and afterwards) it was commonplace to simply paint the number onto a vehicle whose weight was unlikely to change.

While simple in idea, the actual classification is complicated by being based not only on gross vehicle weight, but on whether the vehicle is wheeled or tracked, the number of axles, axle spacing, vehicle speed, the number of lanes the vehicle uses and whether or not the vehicle could be hauling a trailer.

These markings (or plates) were typically found on the right front fender or in the area of the right front headlamp.

Hypothetical chemical compound. A hypothetical chemical compound is a chemical compound that has been conceived of, but is not known to have been synthesized, observed, or isolated (identified or shown to exist).

Some hypothetical compounds cannot form at all, due to steric effects (e.g. tetra-tert-butylmethane, , chlorine heptafluoride, , or bromine heptafluoride, ) or bond stress (e.g. tetrahedrane ). Others might turn out to be highly unstable, decomposing, isomerizing, polymerizing, rearranging, or disproportionating. Some are thought to exist only briefly as reactive intermediates or in vacuum. Some have no known pathway for synthesis (e.g. hypercubane).

Some compounds of radioactive elements have never been synthesized due to their radioactive decay and short half-lives (e.g. francium hydroxide FrOH, radon hexafluoride , astatine heptafluoride , polonium(II) fluoride ).

Some "parent compounds" have not been or cannot be isolated, even though stable structural analogs with substituents have been discovered or synthesized (e.g. borole ). Hypothetical compounds are often predicted or expected from known compounds, such as a families of salts for which the "parent acid" is not a stable molecule, or in which salts form with some cations but not others. Examples of such "phantom acids" are disulfurous acid  and sulfurous acid , whose salts are stable.

Hypothetical compounds are used in some thought experiments.

Some compounds long regarded as hypothetical have later been isolated. Ethylene dione was suggested in 1913 and observed spectroscopically in 2015. Another stable compound, potassium trichromate, has been produced in a small scale and is known to be a very powerful oxidizing agent. Sodium trichromate and sodium and potassium tetrachromate have been hypothesized but are yet to be synthesized.

Other compounds were once thought to have already been produced, but are now regarded as hypothetical chemical compounds unlikely to ever be produced, such as polywater, oxygen tetrafluoride , chromium hexafluoride  and osmium octafluoride .

Other examples of hypothetical compounds are xenon octafluoride , pentazole  (all nitrogen analog of azole), hexazine  (all nitrogen analog of benzene), octaazacubane  (all nitrogen analog of cubane), cyclotrioxidane , nitrogen pentafluoride , tetrafluoroammonium fluoride .

Despite the fact that rhenium heptahydride  has not been isolated, its salt potassium nonahydridorhenate(VII) is stable.

Prediction
Stability and other properties can be predicted using energy calculations and computational chemistry.

"[Using] the Born–Haber cycle to estimate ... the heat of formation ... can be used to determine whether a hypothetical compound is stable." However, "a negative formation enthalpy does not automatically imply the existence of a hypothetical compound." The method predicts that NaCl is stable but NeCl is not. It predicted  based on the stability of .

Ronchigram. Ronchigram (after Italian physicist Vasco Ronchi [ˈroŋki]) is the convergent beam diffraction pattern of a known object with features comparable to the diffracting wavelength. In the case of electron Ronchigrams amorphous materials are used. The structure of the Ronchigram encodes information about the aberration phase field across the objective aperture. As such, Ronchigrams have become increasingly important with the invention of aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy.
