Donald John Miller. Sir Donald John Miller (9 February 1927-19 September 2023) was a Scottish electrical engineer and former chairman of the South of Scotland Electricity Board and Scottish Power.

Education

Sir Donald Miller was educated at Banchory Academy and was awarded a BSc in Engineering from the University of Aberdeen in 1947.

Career

Miller's career spanned a number of private and public organisations in the electrical power industry. This included an apprenticeship with Metropolitan-Vickers, the British Electricity Authority and Preece, Cardew and Rider consulting engineers. He also held senior roles with the two Scottish electricity boards during a period of major technological change. Between 1966 and 1974 he was chief engineer of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board with responsibility for all engineering operations and the design and construction of new pumped storage hydropower generation and thermal power stations. In 1974 he joined the South of Scotland Electricity Board as Director of Engineering responsible for all engineering operations including the completion of three major power stations at Longannet (coal), Hunterston B (nuclear) and Inverkip (oil). In 1982 he was appointed chairman.

Ahead of the Electricity Act 1989, which privatised the British electricity industry, he argued successfully for the retention of the vertically integrated structure of the Scottish electricity supply industry; the newly created Scottish Power retained all but the nuclear assets in the south of Scotland. Following privatisation in 1991 he held the role of chairman of Scottish Power until retirement in 1992. He was subsequently chairman of Premium Trust plc, an Edinburgh-based financial firm. between 1993 and 1998.

RQOPS. Reliable Quantum Operations Per Second (rQOPS) is a metric that measures the capabilities and error rates of a quantum computer. It combines several key factors to measure how many reliable operations a computer can execute in a single second: logical error rates, clock speed, and number of reliable qubits.

The quantities included in rQOPS can be measured in all quantum computer architectures, allowing different architectures to be compared with one standard metric. A larger rQOPS measurement indicates a faster and more accurate device capable of solving more complex problems.

 Microsoft suggest that a machine with 1 million rQOPS qualifies as a quantum supercomputer.

Alternative benchmarks include quantum volume, cross-entropy benchmarking, Circuit Layer Operations Per Second (CLOPS) proposed by IBM and IonQ's Algorithmic Qubits. However, as opposed to considering qubit performance alone, rQOPS measures how capable a quantum system is at solving tangible problems.

Definition
rQOPS is calculated as rQOPS=Q x f, at a corresponding logical error rate pL., where Q is the number of logical qubits and f is the hardware's logical clock speed. Microsoft has selected this metric for the higher quantum computing implementation levels as it encompasses scale, speed, and reliability.

rQOPS =[Q][f]

Miura Next. The Miura Next is a future reusable heavy-lift rocket currently in development, part of PLD Space's program for the next 20 years. Designed to compete in the market of reusable launchers, it will allow for the transport of large payloads to low Earth orbits and beyond. With capabilities for crewed missions and reusable first stages, it aims to position itself as a European alternative to rockets like the Falcon 9. It is expected to work alongside the crewed capsule Lince, expanding the capabilities for space exploration and commercial ventures.

Description  
The rocket was introduced by PLD Space in October 2024 as part of their space program for the next two decades. The company, headquartered in Elche, Spain, revealed their new reusable heavy-lift rocket during an event that showcased their commitment to innovation and competitiveness in the global launch market, targeting the first half of the 2030s for its maiden flight.

Both the rocket and the crewed capsule Lince were developed in secrecy by the company until their development was made public during an event marking the anniversary of the first launch of Miura 1, which was expected to provide updates on the development of the Miura 5.

The Miura Next will be a reusable rocket that is part of PLD Space's new family of launchers. Versions currently named Miura Next Heavy and Super Heavy will be able to place up to 53 tons into low Earth orbit. Additionally, they will be capable of carrying between 2.4 and 16 tons to the Moon and Mars, depending on their configuration, which may include up to four booster engines that will also be reusable.

The first flight is expected in 2030, and by 2035, it is projected to be one of the most powerful rockets in the world, with scalable and reusable technology. It will also be the only one of its kind within the European Union, as the company aims to establish independence for the EU in terms of space travel.

Tesla Robovan. The Tesla Robovan is an electric autonomous van planned for future development by Tesla.  Announced in October 2024, the vehicle is being designed to carry up to 20 passengers.

History

Background
The Tesla Master Plan Part Deux, released in 2016, suggested the development of a "people-mover," and in 2022 Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke of the development of a "highly configurable Robovan for people & cargo."

The future large vehicle was teased at Tesla's 2023 Investor Day in March 2023, and the Tesla Master Plan Part 3, released a month later, outlined the production of a commercial van as part of the two vehicles it was going to launch along with a robotaxi.

Announcement
A concept version of the autonomous electric Robovan was unveiled on 10 October 2024 at the "We, Robot" event at Warner Brothers Studio in Los Angeles, with a prototype driving up near the main stage, and 14 people exited the vehicle. The Cybercab and the first free-walking Optimus humanoid robots were the principal features of the event. 

The Robovan can carry up to 20 passengers and also work separately as a cargo van. TechCrunch said the vehicle had a "retro-futuristic look" with no steering wheel. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said "We’re going to make this, and it’s going to look like that." The Robovan is intended to operate on the Tesla Network, Tesla's ridehailing service for self-driving vehicles.

No further production or cost details were released.

Artist Quamrul Hassan Road. Artist Quamrul Hassan Road () is a street in Dhaka, Bangladesh, that was built for the construction of the Mirpur DOHS-to-Uttara section of Dhaka Metro Rail's MRT Line 6. Before the line's construction, the road was a narrow path, which in 2016 was planned to be converted into a street because, due to its narrowness, the line's viaduct could not be built on it. The road runs from the Mirpur Cantonment area to Sector 18 of Uttara and a roundabout at Diabari. 

During the construction of the MRT Line 6, the  stretch of the road from Mirpur 12 to Uttara South metro station was constructed with broken bricks; the narrow section was quickly finished to mark the line's inauguration in 2022. The road was later extended to connect with Mirpur and Uttara, and is currently the only road linking the two areas. The construction of this -long street connecting Sonargaon Janapath with Mirpur DOHS reduced the travel time between Mirpur and Uttara. 

During the construction of Dhaka BRT, traffic congestion on Airport Road increased and drivers started using this street as an alternative. According to the master plan of Dhaka North City Corporation's (DNCC) Detailed Area Plan, a road has been proposed from the end of the street; from Diabari Roundabout to Gazipur. 

In 2022, Salehuddin Ahmed, who was involved in Dhaka's bus-route rationalization project, said this street would be included in the project's route. The section of the street from Mirpur 12 to Uttara South metro station, however, is not wide enough, causing traffic jams and inconvenience to the passengers. Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) constructed the road and, according to DNCC, they are not in possession of it so are unable to address the issue. In 2023, M.A.N. Siddique, the then-Managing Director of DMTCL, said they had written to the authorities asking to take over responsibility for the road. In addition, the -long section has become prone to accidents due to its collapse after its inauguration. In 2024, the then-DNCC mayor Atiqul Islam stated the authorities were trying to rebuild the section. 

On 20 December 2023, in a DNCC meeting, a proposal to name the street after Patua Quamrul Hassan, who designed the revised version of the flag of Bangladesh, was accepted. In May 2024, it was reported that DNCC forwarded the approved proposal to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives.
