Fairey Hydraulics. Fairey Hydraulics was a main aircraft flight control system manufacturer of the UK, originally part of Fairey, and now a division of UTC. It made the flight actuation system for the Panavia Tornado, the first fly-by-wire military production aircraft, and the Harrier.

History
The company had been a division of Fairey Engineering Limited, but due to expansion, a separate company was formed on 1 April 1965. Most of Fairey Engineering was the nuclear division, which had built nuclear power stations.
The industrial division became Fairey Industrial Hydraulics Limited in 1969. Fairey Filtration was later formed.

It opened the Lickley Engineering Centre in 1982.

It was known as Fairey Hydraulics Limited until January 1998, then briefly known as FHL

Ownership
The parent company Fairey was bought by Westland Aircraft in 1972. The company was sold by Fairey in January 1998 for £55m. Fairey left aviation at this point, concentrating on electronics and filtration.

It was bought by UTC on 21 December 2000, which became UTC Aerospace Systems in 2012.

Products
By 1965 it had over 4,000 foreign and Commonwealth aircraft fitted with its control systems.

The Panavia Tornado was the world's first military aircraft with fly-by-wire control, in service, which was developed by Fairey Hydraulics: it made the spoiler, rudder and taileron actuator for the Tornado.

It had worked on the Harrier right from the start in 1967, and would work on it throughout. It built the filtration system of Concorde. It made the yaw control system fitted to the rudder actuator of the Hawk.

Fairey Hydraulics developed the deck lock system for helicopters in high winds, also known as Talon; the system involves hydraulic actuators.

Structure
Fairey Hydraulics was on Cranford Lane in Heston. From September 1990, it moved its London operations to its Somerset site over eighteen months, closing the Middlesex site.
Also on the Middlesex site was Fairey Nuclear and Fairey Arlon.

UTC Aerospace Systems sold off the site in May 2017, when it employed around 400 people.

Margaret Ackerman. Margaret Ackerman is an American engineer who is a professor at Dartmouth College. Ackerman develops high throughput tools to evaluate the antibody response in disease states. She oversees biological and chemical engineering in the Thayer School of Engineering.

Early life and education 
Ackerman was an undergraduate student at Brandeis University where she studied biochemistry. After earning her doctorate, she spent one year at the College of Charleston, where she taught chemistry. In 2004 she moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for doctoral research. Her doctorate evaluated immunotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer. She was appointed a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2010.

Research and career 
In 2011, Ackerman joined Dartmouth College as an Assistant Professor. She was promoted to Professor in 2019. Her research considers the development of novel vaccines. Amongst these, she has worked on the development of vaccines to protect against HIV and Herpes simplex virus. Her vaccines look to make use of the innate immune system, the early response system that protects us from pathogens until our adaptive immune system responds. The ability of antibodies to recruit an innate immune response is known as the effector function. Ackerman has explored ways to engineer Regulatory T cells to target the fibrils that form in the neural tissue of people suffering from Parkinson's disease. She was awarded a Faculty Mentor Award in 2016.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ackerman studied the levels of antibodies in recovering COVID-19 patients. Specifically, she studied the levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in their mucus. Her research identified that people who suffered from more mild cases of COVID-19 displayed increased levels of IgA. She also showed that there was an anti-correlation between levels of IgA and IgG, i.e., people with high IgA levels had low IgG levels.

In 2024, Ackerman signed a faculty letter expressing support for the actions of Dartmouth College president Sian Beilock, who ordered the arrests of 90 students and faculty members engaging in nonviolent protest against the Israel-Hamas war.

Hybrid electric double layer. The Hybrid electric double layer (Hybrid EDL) is a model to describe the formation of electric double layer considering the contribution of electron transfer at liquid-solid interface, which is firstly proposed by Wang et al. in 2018.The major difference between the hybrid EDL model and the traditional EDL model is that the hybrid EDL model considers that there are both electrons and ions on the solid surface in the EDL, while the traditional EDL model considers that the solid surface has only adsorbed ions.

Nomenclature 
The Hybrid EDL is also named after Prof. Zhong Lin Wang (Wang model), who proposed it in 2018.

The "two-step" formation process 

The formation of the Hybrid EDL can be described by the "two-step" processes. In the first step, the molecules and ions in the liquid impact the solid surface due to the thermal motion and the pressure from the liquid, while the overlap of the electron clouds of the solid atoms and water molecules leads to the electron transfer between them. Then, due to liquid flow or turbulence, the liquid molecules that are adjacent to the solid surface can be pushed off of the interface.

Experimental evidence 
The key difference between the Hybrid EDL model and traditional EDL model is whether the electron transfer at liquid-solid interface exists. The electron transfer was verified experimentally at both nano-scale and macro-scale. At nanoscale, it was found that the charges on the solid surface generated by contacting with the liquid can be removed by heating, and the decay of the surface charge density consistent with the thermionic emission theory, suggesting the existence of the electron transfer at liquid-solid interface. At macroscale, it was noticed that the amount of transferred charge on the solid surface is much greater than the number of ions in the liquid that may by adsorbed to the surface, which also implies that the electron transfer play a dominant role in liquid-solid contact electrification (CE).

The solid surface charge density in EDL 
In the Hybrid EDL, the surface charge density (electrons and ions) in the liquid-solid CE is not as dense as that appearing in text book drawing. For example, the experiments suggest that highest transferred electron density is −630 mCm−2 in the CE between SiO2 and DI water.
