Malloy Hoverbike. The Malloy Hoverbike is a single-seater turbo-fan powered, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) quadcopter developed in 2006 by New Zealand inventor Chris Malloy. The hoverbike has two forward and two aft-mounted vertical propellers each enclosed in a hoop nacelle. The nacelles feature steerable blades beneath which control the direction of flight. Each propeller pair has partial overlap and when not in use they can be folded over each other to further reduce the parking footprint and make packing and transportation easier.

With the production of the Malloy Hoverbike, Chris Malloy set up his aeronautical firm Malloy Aeronautics, based at White Waltham airfield, South-West of London, United Kingdom. The company was responsible for the commercial development and production of the hoverbike. The hoverbike participated in the 2015 Paris Airshow.

Hoverbike is constructed from carbon fibre composite and aluminium and is powered by a petrol engine. It can be piloted with minimum training or fly autonomously and has a "Home" button. It can carry a  payload at a speed of  and has a ceiling of .

In support of the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Malloy Aeronautics has been working collaboratively with SURVICE Engineering Company. Under a contract with the United States Army Research Laboratory Survice and Malloy took part in the Army's Picatinny Pallet Sustainment Aerial Mobility Vehicle (SAMV) programme.

The Malloy Hoverbike has been compared to the speeder bikes seen in George Lucas's popular science fiction saga Star Wars although the input functions of the hoverbikes seen in Star Wars are significantly distinct from the input functions of the Malloy Hoverbike.

Malloy Aeronautics Ltd continues to work in the area of VTOL technology and is currently building heavy lift electric unmanned logistics drones.

In January 2024 the company was acquired by BAE Systems.

Alexander Bernhard Dräger. Alexander Bernhard Dräger (14 June 1870, Howe - 12 January 1928, Lübeck), was a German engineer, industrialist and inventor.

Dräger was born in the village of Howe (now part of Kirchwerder, Bergedorf, Hamburg. In 1889, Bernhard's father  and Carl Adolf Gerling founded Firma Dräger und Gerling in Lübeck to exploit industrial gas technology. In 1902, Heinrich took Bernhard into partnership, and the firm's name was changed to Drägerwerk Heinr. und Bernh. Dräger. The firm specialised in self-contained breathing sets for industrial and rescue workers and for divers, and welding and cutting torches. The company still exists today, as Drägerwerk AG.

Bernhard filed at least one patent application for his developments.

IntoScience. IntoScience is an Australian interactive edutainment science platform created by 3P Learning, who are also responsible for Mathletics, Reading Eggs, and Spellodrome. The program is designed to be used in secondary school.

Development 
The program initiated a partnership with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to develop the immersive 3D worlds using the Unity 3D engine. It utilises "3D environments, virtual experiments and deep contextual examples", and includes content based on the curriculum.

In June 2014, 3P Learning managing director Tim Power said that Mathletics was a "rapidly declining percentage of the revenue", due to growth of Reading Eggs and IntoScience.

Gameplay 
Players create an avatar, and then proceed to embark on various quests to complete tasks and challenges, thereby earning ‘Enquiry Point’ rewards.

Critical reception 
TeachWire deemed the platform "revolutionary...virtual brilliance", and praised it for "bringing science to life". GeekInSydney thought it was an "awesome concept". The Association for Science Education deemed the program a "really useful and engaging tool for reinforcing and extending". Education Magazine thought it was "immersive and highly engaging".

Reception 

Educational software
IBM System/360 Model 65. The IBM System/360 Model 65 is a member of the IBM System/360 family of computers.  It was announced April 1965, and replaced two models, the Model 60 and Model 62, announced one year prior but never shipped. It was discontinued in March 1974.

Models
There are six submodels of the S/360-65.  They vary by the amount of core memory with which the system is offered. The G65, H65, I65, IH65 and J65 submodels are configured with 128K, 256K, 512K, 768K or 1M of core memory, respectively. By 1974 the smallest G submodel had been discontinued. The MP (multiprocessor) model was added supporting from 512K to 2MB of system memory.  The system can also attach IBM 2361 Large Capacity Storage (LCS) modules which provide up to 8MB of additional storage, however with a considerably slower memory cycle time of 8 microseconds compared to the 750 nanoseconds of processor storage.

Relative performance
The performance of the Model 65 is more than triple that of a S/360-50, whereas the Model 75, the next step up, was less than double that of a S/360-65.

Features

The Model 65 implements the complete System/360 "universal instruction set" architecture, including floating-point, decimal, and character operations as standard features.  It offers optional compatibility features to permit emulation of the IBM 7040 and 7044 and the IBM 7090 and 7094, the IBM 7070 and 7074, and the IBM 7080.

Main memory in the Model 65 can be interleaved for faster access.

The Model 65, like the Model 67, was available in a dual-CPU offering. Multi-processing (Dual-CPU) systems have two I65s, IH65s or J65s, and "the main storage of each processing unit is accessible to the other."

Systems software
The Model 65 supports BPS, DOS/360, TOS/360, and OS/360 - PCP, MFT and MVT. MVT was a fairly typical choice of operating system for the Model 65.

A special version of MVT, called MP65, is needed for the multi-process (dual CPU) Model. MP65 uses special CPU-to-CPU/Multisystem mode instructions, such as Write Direct. The Model 65MP implements asymmetric multiprocessing: "certain input output equipment is accessible from only one processor."

Time-sharing can be provided on a Model 65 using IBM's Time Sharing Option (TSO).

Non-wires alternatives. Non-wires alternatives (NWAs) are electric utility system investments and operating practices that can defer or replace the need for specific transmission and/or distribution projects, at lower total resource cost, by reliably reducing transmission congestion or distribution system constraints at times of maximum demand in specific grid areas. Transmission-related NWAs are also known as non-transmission alternatives (NTAs). They can be identified through least-cost planning and action, one geographic area at a time, for managing electricity supply and demand using all means available and necessary, including demand response, distributed generation (DG), energy efficiency, electricity and thermal storage, load management, and rate design.

Examples of States Using NWAs
 Maine's Booth Bay Harbor Pilot Project
 California “loading order” and energy storage mandates

Carlfriesite. Carlfriesite is a rare tellurium mineral with the formula CaTe4+2Te6+O8, or more simplified: CaTe3O8. It has a Moh's hardness of 3.5 and it occurs in various shades of yellow, ranging from bright yellow to a light buttery color. It was named after Carl Fries Jr. (1910–1965) from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Geological Institute of the National University, Mexico City, Mexico. It was previously thought to have the formula H4Ca(TeO3)3, but this was proven to be incorrect. It has no uses beyond being a collector's item.

Occurrence 
Carlfriesite is often found in cavities in hydrothermal gold-tellurium deposits. It is found associated with cerussite, chlorargyrite, argentian gold, cesbronite, calcite, dickite, baryte, bornite, galena, hessite and tlapallite. It was first identified in the Bambollita (La Oriental), Moctezuma, Municipio de Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico. It is also found in another nearby mine, namely the Moctezuma mine.

Synthesis 
Carlfriesite was found to be synthesizable by heating a mixture of CaO, Te(OH)6 and TeO2 to 150–240°C with water at the vapor pressure of the system. The resulting material was very fine-grained and colorless, consisting of aggregates of tiny carlfriesite plates. The material mostly consisted of carlfriesite, but also contained 10–15% paratellurite, as determined by X-ray diffraction.

Juan-Julio Bonet Sugrañes. Juan-Julio Bonet Sugrañes (1940–2006) was a Spanish chemist and founder of the first laboratory and research school of steroid chemistry in Spain.

Education
Born in Barcelona, Bonet studied at Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS) in Barcelona (1956–1961) where he graduated in chemistry and chemical engineering. Granted by Fundación Juan March he moved to the Laboratorium für Organische Chemie of the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zürich (ETHZ) to study chemistry with Professor Oskar Jeger in the field of solvotic reactions on steroids (PhD, 1965).

Career

Back in Spain, Bonet joined the faculty at IQS as Professor of Natural Products and Organic Photochemistry until 1986 when he left to Wassemann Laboratories as scientific director. In 1988, he was appointed director of technology transfer at Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Alimentàries (IRTA).

Bonet has pioneered steroid chemistry in Spain by founding a devoted research lab at IQS from which a school of steroid chemistry was born. He has supervised 14 PhD theses and 145 graduate works.

Book

The interest of Bonet for the arts and history had resulted in the book Viaje al Reino de Saturno published in 2004. The history of chemistry in Europe going back to Lavoisier and the late alchemists is presented by looking at the daily lives and works of the chemists and how they were affected by the political constraints of their times. This humanist view of chemistry was gathered by Bonet after his many readings and visits to sites and libraries and interviews with chemists and historians in Europe during more than 15 years.

Alderney-class sloop. The Alderney class was a class of three sloops of wooden construction built for the Royal Navy between 1755 and 1757. All three were built by contract with commercial builders to a common design prepared by William Bately, the Surveyor of the Navy.

The first two – Stork and Alderney – were ordered on 14 November 1755, and another vessel to the same design – Diligence – were ordered three months later, on 23 February 1756. All were begun as two-masted (snow-rigged) vessels, and the trio were all assigned names on 25 May 1756, but the first two were actually completed as three-masted ("ship-rigged") vessels.

Teineite. Teineite is a tellurite mineral with the formula Cu(TeO3). 2 H2O. It has a Mohs hardness of 2.5 and it comes in many different shades of blue, ranging from cerulean blue to bluish-gray. The mineral millsite has the same chemical composition, but crystallizes in the monoclinic system, while teineite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system.

Occurrence 
Teineite was first identified in the Teine mine, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, where the name of this mineral originates. It occurs in veins where copper- and tellurium-bearing sulfides were oxidized and is often associated with tellurite, tellurium, pyrite, tetrahedrite, sphalerite, azurite, malachite, quartz, baryte, hessite, galena, bornite, cerussite, chlorargyrite, quetzalcoatlite, cuprite and graemite. It has also been found in other places, including other mines in Japan, several mines in the US and mines in Mexico, Belgium, Russia and Norway.

Electric-pump-fed engine. The electric-pump-fed engine is a bipropellant rocket engine in which the fuel pumps are electrically powered, and so all of the input propellant is directly burned in the main combustion chamber, and none is diverted to drive the pumps. This differs from traditional rocket engine designs, in which the pumps are driven by a portion of the input propellants.

An electric cycle engine uses electric pumps to pressurize the propellants from a low-pressure fuel tank to high-pressure combustion chamber levels, generally from  to . The pumps are powered by an electric motor, with electricity from a battery bank.

Electrical pumps had been used in the secondary propulsion system of the Agena upper stage vehicle.

As of December 2020, the only rocket engines to use electric propellant pump systems are the Rutherford engine, ten of which power the Electron rocket, and the Delphin engine, five of which power the first stage of Astra Space's Rocket 3. On 21 January 2018, Electron was the first electric pump-fed rocket to reach orbit.

In comparison to turbo-pumped rocket cycles such as staged combustion and gas generator, an electric cycle engine has potentially worse performance due to the added mass of batteries, but may have lower development and manufacturing costs due its mechanical simplicity, its lack of high temperature turbomachinery, and its easier controllability.
