USA-298. USA-298, also known as Advanced Extremely High Frequency 6 or AEHF-6, is a military communications satellite operated by the United States Space Force (USSF). It is the sixth of six satellite to be launched as part of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency program, which replaced the earlier Milstar system.

Satellite description 
The USA-298 satellite was constructed by Lockheed Martin Space, and is based on the A2100 satellite bus. The satellite has a mass of  and a design life of 14 years. It will be used to provide super high frequency (SHF) and extremely high frequency (EHF) communications for the United States Armed Forces, as well as those of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, and Australia.

Launch 
USA-298 was launched by United Launch Alliance, aboard an Atlas V 551 flying from SLC-41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). The launch occurred at 20:18:00 UTC on 26 March 2020, placing the satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) with a perigee of , an apogee of , and 9.95° inclination. The satellite was successfully deployed in this orbit about five and a half hours after launch.

TDO-2  satellite 
Alongside AEHF-6, the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center launched an experimental 12U cubesat known as TDO-2 (Technology Demonstration Orbiter). The satellite was deployed, after 30 minutes in the flight, prior to AEHF-6, from a dispenser on the aft of the Centaur upper stage into an orbit with a perigee of  and an apogee of .

USCG CG-108. CG-108 was a wooden-hulled patrol vessel in commission in the fleet of the United States Coast Guard.

History
She was laid down at the Camden, New Jersey shipyard of Mathis Yacht Building Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard. She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore. The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925. She was commissioned in 1924/1925 as CG-108. She was struck from the register in 1931.

Herreshoff Eagle. The Herreshoff Eagle, also called the Herreshoff Eagle 21, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Halsey Chase Herreshoff as a cruiser and first built in 1976.

The Herreshoff Eagle is a development of the Herreshoff America, with a clipper bow, bowsprit and a gaffhead sloop rig.

Production
The design was initially built by Nowak & Williams in Bristol, Rhode Island, United States. It was also later built by Tillotson-Pearson and Squadron Yachts, both of Bristol, Rhode Island, and Nauset Marine of Orleans, Massachusetts, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Herreshoff Eagle is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a topsail gaff-rigged masthead sloop; with a clipper bow and bowsprit; a plumb transom; a shallow, transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the centerboard extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  stern well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a sink. The head is located opposite the galley on the port side. Cabin headroom is .

For sailing the design is equipped with boom-mounted jib.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "although the ads didn't say so, this boat appears to be the Herreshoff America 18 dressed up in an old-timey costume with a bowsprit, topsail, and jib added. Strangely, the ads at first called her a '21' and later she became a '22.' though by scaling off her LOD from the plans, we measure her as an '18.' We wonder why the builders, no longer around to ask, advertised her with such a major discrepancy in size. Best features: To some she may appear to be a pretty replica of a 19th century vessel, though we doubt that she has a close resemblance to any real boat of the past. Her good features generally match the Herreshoff America 18 ... Worst features: The rather long bowsprit and small forward deck with no lifelines or rails make dousing the jib a precarious and chancy affair. The “clipper bow” appears to us to be inappropriate to use with the fat bull and the blunt stern, though some might feel it looks okay. Wheel rather than tiller on a boat this size is a bad idea, reducing control rather than improving it."

OPS-11. OPS-11 is a two-dimensional radar manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric. It is installed as an anti-aircraft search radar on the Maritime Self-Defense Force's escort ship, and it will be the first model originally developed by Japan after World War II for this purpose. Variations include OPS-11B and OPS-11C.

The model numbers of the Maritime Self-Defense Force's electronic devices, including this machine, are generally based on the naming rules for military electronic devices of the U.S. military. It is for radar mounted on surface vessels, for detection / distance direction measurement / search.

Overview 
In developing the radar since the prototype electric probe, it was planned to model the AN/SPS-40, which was planned to be provided by the United States for the JDS Wakaba (former Imperial Japanese Navy Matsu-class destroyer). However, due to the delay in the provision of the actual product, most of the actual development was done independently by the Japanese side. For this reason, the pulse compression technology that was originally planned to be introduced from AN/SPS-40 will be researched independently. The Maritime Self-Defense Force already had OPS-1 and OPS-2 as a domestic anti-aircraft search radar, but since these were de facto pirated versions based on the American-made AN/SPS-6. This model is the first anti-aircraft search radar after the war. 

Initially, the antenna shape was planned to be a parabolic antenna similar to the prototype AN/SPS-40. However, due to the design of the Yamagumo-class destroyer, which was planned to be installed as a ship, it was found that the antennas of the AN/SPS-40 would come into contact with each other when the ships of the same type were moored in parallel. Many Yagi-style dipole arrays were arranged in a planar frame (28 in total: 4 vertical rows x 6 horizontal rows + 2 on the outermost side of each row). The antenna of the identification friend or foe (IFF) is mounted on top of it. The frequency used is considered to be ultra high frequency (UHF; P (B) band), similar to AN/SPS-40. There are three variations of OPS-11, OPS-11B, and OPS-11C. OPS-11B is an amplifier added to increase the output, and OPS-11C is solid-state based on OPS-11B and movement target indication (MTI). The technology was introduced to enhance the clutter suppression performance.

Since it has a longer wavelength and better reachability than the new OPS-14 that uses the L band, it will be installed on the Tartar System-equipped missile destroyer even after the introduction of the OPS-14, complementing the 3D radar.

Siemensia. Siemensia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae. It only contains one known species, Siemensia pendula (C.Wright ex Griseb.) Urb. 

Its native range is western Cuba.

The genus name of Siemensia is in honour of Werner von Siemens (1816–1892), a German electrical engineer, inventor and industrialist. Siemens's name has been adopted as the SI unit of electrical conductance, the siemens. He founded the electrical and telecommunications conglomerate Siemens. The Latin specific epithet of pendula means hanging.
Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Symb. Antill. Vol.9 on page 143 in 1923.

Project Starline. Project Starline is an experimental video communication method currently in development by Google that allows the user to see a 3D model of the person they are communicating with. Google announced the product at its 2021 I/O developer conference, saying that it will allow users to "talk naturally, gesture and make eye contact" by utilizing machine learning, spatial audio, computer vision and real-time compression to create the 3D effect without the user wearing typical virtual reality goggles. The goal is to make the user feel as if they are in the same room with the other user.

Development 
Project Starline had been in development for more than five years prior to the official announcement on May 18, 2021. The technology is currently only available in a small number of Google's offices, but the company plans to begin collaborating with certain partners in the next year, particularly partners in the healthcare and media industries.

In November 2021, the project was reorganized under a new division called Google Labs (unrelated to the defunct service of the same name) along with Area 120 and Google's AR and VR efforts. Google will begin testing the technology with corporations such as Salesforce and T-Mobile beginning in late 2022. In May 2024, Google stated that it was working on integrating Project Starline technology into videoconferencing apps such as Google Meet and Zoom, announcing a partnership with HP.

Booth 
The current implementation of Project Starline is a booth that the user sits in, facing a  "light field display," surrounded by depth sensors, cameras, and lights. Light field technology is a photography technique that captures the direction of light as well as its intensity and color to enable more effective 3D imaging. The user can then view another user on the display in 3D and vice versa. Google says it plans to "make this technology more affordable and accessible."

Reception 
Jay Peters of The Verge was impressed by a demo of Project Starline, comparing it to "real life science fiction".

Usines Ragheno. The Usines Ragheno (Ragheno Factories) were a rolling stock manufacturer, building vehicles for railways and tramways. They are located in Mechelen, Belgium.

History 
A first factory was founded in 1851 William Ragheno (1820-1867) from Brussels, being called Établissements Ragheno (Ragheno Establishments). The factory contained a blacksmith's workshop and built carriages for the Belgian railways. William Ragheno was the son of Pierre Ragheno, mechanical engineer for the Belgian State railways.

On 17 June 1899   the Société anonyme des usines Ragheno was opened (having workshops for the construction of railway and tramway equipment and carriages) hoping to develop production capabilities for foreign markets.

The company would build railway and tramway rolling stock until 1975. It merged with Groupe BAT (Bruxelloise d'Auto-Transport) to form Ragheno Beherman Auto-Transport in 1979.

The company also built locomotives between 1919 and 1925.
