Direct chill casting. Direct Chill casting is a method for the fabrication of cylindrical or rectangular solid ingots from non-ferrous metals, especially Aluminum, Copper, Magnesium and their alloys. The original ingots are usually further processed by other methods (rolling, forging, etc.). More than half of global aluminum production uses the Direct Chill casting process.

Direct Chill casting operates by pouring liquid metal continuously into a short mold (7.5–15 cm deep) that is open at the bottom. Only an outer layer of metal solidifies within the water-cooled mold. After leaving the closed mold at its bottom (e.g. with 5–15 cm/min), water is directly sprayed on the new ingot, continuing the solidification until complete. Only about 20% of the heat of the molten metal is removed through the mold wall, the secondary cooling (Direct Chill) contributing the majority of cooling. Typically the process is started with a starter-dummy block at the bottom of the mold, and runs until the maximum length possible in the machine is reached (up to 10 m).

The casting method reduces the internal stress in the cooled material by allowing contractions on all sides, as opposed to only on the top of the ingot in a traditional trough mold.

Faithful Robot. Faithful Robot () is a 1961 comedy/mystery/drama science fiction TV play by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. Its first print was in 1963, in the short story collection Noc księżycowa.

In this story turns a common science fiction trope upside down: rather than a human creates a perfect robot, a robot creates a perfect human. At the same time it is a story of a robot which breaks away from human control.

Plot
The story is set in year of 2000. A detective writer Tom Clempner receives a humanoid robot, named Graumer, in mail. The sender claims they sent nothing, but eventually Graumer convinces Clempner to use the servant he got for free. Graumer becomes increasingly annoying in his efforts to serve the master.

At a party a police inspector tells a story of a runaway robot obsessed with the idea to create a perfect human. The robot skips from owner to owner by boxing and shipping himself, and the police inspector is in  pursuit of the robot...  Later the story reveals that Graumer created a copy of Clempner and was about to poison the original, but when Clempner did not give away Graumer to the police inspector, the robot changes his mind. One day during a lunch Clempner sees another person and after a while notices the stranger wears his clothes. In the following quarrel the stranger claims that in fact he owns the robot, the house and all... Eventually Graumer poisons both of them and ships himself further.

Fay, Spofford & Thorndike. Fay, Spofford & Thorndike (FST) was a privately held company that provided civil and transportation, structural, water/wastewater and building systems engineering services to a variety of public- and private-sector clients for more than 100 years. The firm ceased operating as an independent entity when Stantec, one of North America's largest engineering firms, acquired FST, on October 30, 2015.

History 
Fay, Spofford & Thorndike was founded in June 1914 by three engineers with ties to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Frederic H. Fay served on many boards and in numerous industry leadership roles, including as the national chairman of the American Institute of Consulting Engineers (AICE). This is the organization that spawned the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). Charles M. Spofford was an MIT professor and the author of the work on modern structural engineering, The Theory of Structures. Sturgis M. Thorndike, who graduated with a BA from Harvard and a BS from MIT, left his position as Boston City Engineer to join Fay and Spofford in their new venture.

One of the firm's first projects was for the City of Fall River, Massachusetts. The resulting report issued in 1915, "Report of the Watuppa Ponds and Quequechan River Commission", advised the city how to rectify a serious pollution issue in its major waterways. This report has been recognized as an important document in the advancement of water pollution treatment and control. The National Center for Biotechnology Information features an article based on the report that appeared in the American Journal of Public Health.

Notable projects 
The bulk of FST's notable projects are in the Northeastern United States. These include the original Champlain Bridge (completed in 1929), the Memorial Bridge in Springfield, the Bourne Bridge and Sagamore Bridge over the Cape Cod Canal (completed in 1937), multiple projects for The Big Dig in Boston, and the Runway 33L End Safety Project at Logan Airport. At the time of the acquisition, FST was working on a study for a potential third road bridge over the Cape Cod Canal.

Nitro Zeus. Nitro Zeus is the project name for a well funded comprehensive cyber attack plan created as a mitigation strategy after the Stuxnet malware campaign and its aftermath. Unlike Stuxnet, that was loaded onto a system after the design phase to affect its proper operation, Nitro Zeus's objectives are built into a system during the design phase unbeknownst to the system users. This built-in feature allows a more assured and effective cyber attack against the system's users.

The information about its existence was raised during research and interviews carried out by Alex Gibney for his Zero Days documentary film. The proposed long term widespread infiltration of major Iranian systems would disrupt and degrade communications, power grid, and other vital systems as desired by the cyber attackers. This was to be achieved by electronic implants in Iranian computer networks. The project was seen as one pathway in alternatives to full-scale war.

Carbon snake. The carbon snake is a demonstration of the dehydration reaction of sugar by concentrated sulfuric acid. With concentrated sulfuric acid, granulated table sugar (sucrose) performs a degradation reaction which changes its form to a black solid-liquid mixture. The carbon snake experiment can sometimes be misidentified as the black snake, "sugar snake", or "burning sugar" reaction, all of which involve baking soda rather than sulfuric acid.

Explanation 
Concentrated sulfuric acid can perform a dehydration reaction with table sugar. After mixing, the color changes from white to brownish and eventually to black. The expansion of the mixture is the result of vaporization of water and CO2 inside the container.  The gases inflate the mixture to form a snake-like shape, and give off a burned sugar smell. The granularity of the sugar can greatly affect the reaction: powdered sugar reacts very quickly but sugar cubes take longer to react.

When sucrose is dehydrated, heat is given out to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction, while graphite and liquid water are produced by the decomposition of the sugar:

C12H22O11  + H2SO4  + 1/2 O2  → 11 C  + CO2  + 12 H2O  + SO2 

As the acid dehydrates the sucrose, the water produced will dilute the sulfuric acid, giving out energy in the form of heat.

C12H22O11   → 12 C  + 11 H2O

Alternative experiment 
Paranitroaniline can be used instead of sugar, if the experiment is allowed to proceed under an obligatory fumehood.  With this method the reaction phase prior to the black snake's appearance is longer, but once complete, the black snake itself rises from the container very rapidly.  This reaction may cause an explosion if too much sulfuric acid is used.
