Pipistrel 801 eVTOL. The Pipistrel 801 eVTOL is a Slovenian autonomous vertical take-off electric aircraft for the air taxi role under development by Pipistrel Vertical Solutions of Ajdovščina. It was publicly announced at the Uber Elevate Summit in Washington, D.C., United States, in June 2019. The aircraft is intended to be supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

The aircraft's designation refers to eight lift fans, no tilt rotors and one tractor propeller. It is being designed as one electric VTOL proposal for Uber Elevate.

Design and development
The design uses wings as it provides greater speed and range over wingless designs, plus the ability to take off and land on a runway, if required.

The aircraft features a cantilever high-wing, a five-seat, enclosed cabin under a bubble canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear, eight vertical electric lift motors powering shrouded fans mounted in two underwing pods and a single electric motor engine in a tail-mounted tractor configuration. It will be capable of flying on six of the eight lift fans.

The design incorporates fly-by-wire controls and will be capable of autonomous flight (flight without a pilot) from delivery. The design incorporates the ability to see-and-avoid other aircraft and emphasizes a low noise signature for acceptance in urban areas.

The design used in-house designed batteries, with four of varying designs to avoid design flaws. It also used energy-absorbing seats and seat belts. Also each of the eight lift fans operates at a different rpm and therefore frequency to reduce noise pitch peaking.

The aircraft will have a range of  at a cruising speed of  or more.

Agiloft. Agiloft, Inc. is a technology company specializing in contract lifecycle management and business process management software in Redwood City, California. It was originally founded in October 1990 as Integral Solutions Corporation by Colin Earl.

History
Agiloft started as Integral Solutions Corporation founded by Colin Earl in 1990. The company worked on development projects for other corporations until developing its own software in 1996 called SupportWizard. SupportWizard was designed as a help desk application and by 1999 officially supported MySQL. Integral Solutions continued to build on this application adding call center and CRM functionality. For a time the company was known by the name of the SupportWizard software. 

In 2003, they announced a new revision of the software operating on J2EE framework called Enterprise Wizard. 

By 2007 the company offered a platform version of the software, called SaaSWizard, on which users could automate business actions through their own customization. Development continued on the EnterpriseWizard application operating on top of the platform allowing users to customize the program through a web interface. Colin Earl changed both the business and software name to Agiloft in 2012. 

In 2017, Earl spoke out against the proposed H1-B reforms and stated that one of his workers, "in all likelihood, not getting his visa renewed and will return to China."

Software
Agiloft is a low-code development platform that has prebuilt modules that focus on contract management and IT service management. The platform is configured via a web-browser with dropdown menus and drag and drop tools to configure functions or build new applications. The contract management portion of the software allows for the automation of creation, workflow, and renewal of contracts which has been used in the healthcare field. This software has won PC Magazine's Editor's Choice award for several years.

Noa Marom. Noa Marom is an Israeli materials scientist and computational physicist at Carnegie Mellon University. She was awarded the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Young Scientist Prize.

Early life and education 
Marom studied materials engineering at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and earned her bachelor's degree in 2003. After graduating, she worked as an application engineer in the Process and Control Division. She joined the Weizmann Institute of Science for her doctoral studies, earning a PhD under the supervision of Leeor Kronik in 2010. Marom won the Shimon Reich Memorial Prize for her PhD thesis. Her doctoral work considered the predictions of dispersion interactions and electronic structure using computational chemistry. She worked on molecules including copper phthalocyanine, azabenzenes and hexagonal boron nitride.

Research and career 
Marom joined the University of Texas at Austin as a postdoctoral researcher in 2010. She moved to Tulane University as an assistant professor in physics in 2013. In 2016 Marom was appointed as an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University. She is a member of the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute.

Her work considers molecular crystals that are bound by Van der Waals interactions. As Van de Waal's interactions are weak, molecules can adopt a range of crystal structures. These are known as polymorphs, and can be predicted using computational simulations. The chemical and physical properties of these systems are determined by their crystal structure. Marom develops genetic algorithms that predict the structure of molecular crystals using the principles of survival of the fittest. Marom's work uses density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory to study complex atomic systems. She has investigated the GW approximation for molecules. The materials investigated by Marom can be used for dye-sensitized solar cells.

Awards and honors
In 2018 Marom was awarded the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Young Scientist Prize.

List of drainage basins of Australia. A drainage basin is an extent of land where water from rain and melting snow or ice drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean. The drainage basin includes both the streams and rivers that convey the water as well as the land surfaces from which water drains into those channels, and is separated from adjacent basins by a drainage divide.

Major drainage basins are coded by hierarchy within the National Catchment Boundaries (NCB) dataset, with primary drainage basins attributed Level 1 and smaller river catchment subdivisions attributed Level 2. Beyond that, minor river and creek watersheds are ranked by the Pfafstetter Coding System. This article deals with surface water rather than groundwater basins, such as the Great Artesian Basin.

Australia has twelve distinguished NCB Level 1 drainage divisions or thirteen after splitting the South East Coast division at the New South Wales–Victoria border as defined by the Australian Water Resources Assessment 2012, a hydrological survey conducted by the Bureau of Meteorology. Runoff from these divisions generally flows into the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and Lake Eyre.

Mobile Subscriber Equipment. The Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) system was a tactical communication system created by GTEGovernmentSystems (later acquired by General Dynamics) for the United States Army. Acquisition began in 1985 for echelons below Corps and down to the battalion level. The system was first fielded in February 1988 to the 13th Signal Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas.

The first version included phones for both stationary and portable use, plus fax service. When a user placed a call, the MSE software automatically found the destination telephone and connected the call.  Tactical Packet Network services were provided by BBN Technologies as a packet-switching overlay to the MSE circuit-switched network; these services added Internet Protocol switching and routing to support end-to-end data communications.

MSE was intended to provide communications support from the Corps' rear boundary to the division's maneuver battalion rear boundary, covering an area of approximately . It consisted of the following major subsystems. The Node Center Switch (NCS) made up the backbone of the MSE system and provided connectivity through the use of extension switches, Large Extension Nodes (LENs), Small Extension Nodes (SENs), and Radio Access Units (RAUs). To communicate with other mobile and wire telephone users throughout the theater, the Radio Access Units allow the Mobile Subscriber Radio Telephone (MSRT) to interface into the MSE system through the NCS, LEN or SEN.

Syclix. Syclix is a surgical tool used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, inspired by surgeon John Wickham and designed by Random Design Ltd. It was the winner of the 2006 Horner’s Plastics Innovation and Design Award. Rather than using a ring grip, which was more restricting and tiring for surgeons, control of the instrument is through rolling it with the forefinger and thumb, like a pen. The jaws are controlled with minimal arm movement. It is built and assembled by Sovrin Plastics.

Shock-resisting steel. Shock-resisting steels are a class of tool steels designed to resist breakage by shock. Under the AISI classification system there are seven types, labeled S1 to S7.

Overview
Shock-resisting steels are designed to have high impact resistance (toughness), along with other properties such as strength, hardness. Silicon is a common addition to this class of steels, as it provides tempering resistance and increases toughness.

Applications for shock-resisting steels includes springs, as well as chisels, dies for forging, and punches. S2 steel is also used to make ball bearings for the mining industry. They are also used for screwdrivers and driver bits.

SVCM

SVCM steel is a kind of shock-resisting steel. SVCM steel is an alloy of carbon, silicon, chromium, magnesium, nickel, molybdenum and lead. SVCM+ in addition is quenched and tempered achieving a high hardness (HRC 59). SCVM+ has better torsional properties than chromium-vanadium steel (Cr-V).

Terrestrial Wideband Network. The Terrestrial Wideband Network was a DARPA-sponsored experimental network designed to support research in high-speed networking protocols and distributed multimedia applications. It was built and operated by BBN Technologies from May 1989 to about 1991; although originally planned to turn into the Defense Research Internet, it instead evolved into the Defense Simulation Internet.

The Terrestrial Wideband Network was a trans-continental network implemented via Wideband Packet Switches (based on BBN Butterfly parallel computers) connected by T1 circuits. It replaced the 3 megabit/second Satellite Wideband Network, which had been in operation for the previous 8 years. Because it was based on a single cross-country T1 trunk from the DARPA National Networking Testbed (NNT), the Terrestrial Wideband Network's topology was linear, i.e., a  series  of  packet switches connected in a line by T1 trunks. Each T1 link ran at 1.544 megabits per second.

The Terrestrial Wideband Network provided standard Internet Protocol transport, but also multicast services and the experimental, connection-oriented Internet Stream Protocol (ST-II). Individual host computers could gain access to ST-II features via the Host Access Protocol (HAP), specified in RFC 907-A. Internally, the network was based on the Dual Bus Protocol (DBP), a descendant of the QPSX protocol proposed as the IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) standard, enhanced to provide bandwidth reservations with access fairness, and to operate over long distances.

SHARCNET. SHARCNET is a consortium of universities in Ontario, Canada, that aggregate funding to purchase supercomputer systems, which are shared among the members to perform research, rather than individually purchasing smaller systems at each university. It was formed to allow members access to larger, faster, and more modern computer resources than they would otherwise be able to afford, and to retain researchers at their organizations. SHARCNET is part of the larger Compute Canada umbrella. , the fastest computer at SHARCNET according to the Top 500 list is Graham, which entered the list as the 95th fastest computer in the world with a High Performance Linpack result of 1,228 TeraFLOPS.

History 
SHARCNET was originally founded in June, 2001 with seven institutions: McMaster University, the University of Western Ontario, University of Guelph, University of Windsor, Wilfrid Laurier University, Fanshawe College, and Sheridan College.  Initial seed funding of C$42.1 million came from government, academic, and industry partners.  The universities contributed a total of C$8.5 million, the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund contributed C$8.4 million, Canada Foundation for Innovation and Ontario Innovation Trust each contributed C$6.6 million, Compaq Canada contributed C$7 million, while Quadrics Supercomputing World, Platform Computing, Nortel and Bell Canada contributed a total of C$4 million.

SHARCNET was expanded in June 2003 to include the University of Waterloo, Brock University, York University, and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. In December 2005, the partnership grew again with the addition of Trent University, Laurentian University, and Lakehead University. In March 2006, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Ontario College of Art & Design were added to the consortium.  Nipissing University and Conestoga College joined in 2008 and 2014 respectively, for a total of 18 academic partners (14 universities, 3 colleges, and a research institute).

The first system from SHARCNET reported on the Top 500 November, 2001 list was GreatWhite, which was installed at the University of Western Ontario, and entered the list at the #183 spot with an Rmax of 185.3 GigaFLOPS.
 This system was notable because it was the fastest civilian system in Canada at the time of installation, and was the first running the Quadrics Elan network on Linux.
