Iskra (company). Iskra is a Yugoslav-Slovenian company for electromechanics, telecommunications, electronics and automation.

History 
Iskra developed from the SPRAD and a sole Kranj-based factory, a former subsidiary of the Luftfahrtgerätewerk Berlin. 

In 1946, Mirjan Gruden renamed Strojne tovarne Kranj to Iskra (in Slovenian: Spark).

One year after it was established, Iskra developed its first switch, followed by its first FM antenna, capacitor, and then one of the key milestones in Iskra's success – the establishment of its design department. In 1962, this was the first industrial design department in Yugoslavia.

The bureau for railway automation, BAŽ, was founded.

In the 1970s, Iskra developed into the largest Yugoslav company for electromechanics, telecommunications, electronics and automation, with industrial design in telephony, measuring instruments, and machinery. At the start of the 1990s, Iskra's logo was on all electrical devices, and the product portfolio was expanded with measuring instruments, short-wave navy radio receivers, drilling machines, movie projectors, etc.

In 1989, Iskra SOZD consisted of the following organizations:
 Iskra Banka
 Iskra Commerce
 Iskra Servis
 Iskra Telematika
 Iskra Delta
 Iskra Kibernetika
 Iskra električna orodja

Sonic Core. Sonic Core is a German developer of digital audio systems, that in 2007 took over some of the assets of Creamware, and continues to support, manufacture and develop the Scope DSP hardware platform and associated software that was originally developed by that company.

The company released the Scope Xite-1 in 2009, but unlike older Scope products developed by Creamware that were internal PCI cards the Xite is an external rack unit, combining a high-end audio interface with a powerful DSP-based audio accelerator farm based on newer DSP chips than the older Scope platform used, but compatibility  with older software is maintained by also providing a farm of 6 processors from the original cards. Interfacing with a host computer is done using a PCIe card or an ExpressCard. The company has also released pay-for updates to the Scope software platform, thus enabling owners of older Creamware cards to use software written for newer products and run the cards under newer versions of Microsoft Windows.

Updates for other products that were originally developed as additional Scope components by Creamware have also started to show up, version 4 of the Modular Synthesiser was made available in December 2009 as a paid upgrade but the company has also been helping third parties that have written software for the Scope platform to release their software as hardware products, the Solaris that is manufactured by John Bowen is the result of such a collaboration.

Cable gland. A cable gland (more often known in the U.S. as a cord grip, cable strain relief, cable connector or cable fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to the equipment. A cable gland provides strain-relief and connects by a means suitable for the type and description of cable for which it is designed—including provision for making electrical connection to the armour or braid and lead or aluminium sheath of the cable, if any. Cable glands may also be used for sealing cables passing through bulkheads or gland plates. Cable glands are mostly used for cables with diameters between 1 mm and 75 mm.

Cable glands are commonly defined as mechanical cable entry devices.  They are used throughout a number of industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems. Cable glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data and telecommunications cables.  They are used as a sealing and termination device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure which the cable enters can be maintained adequately. Cable glands are made of various plastics, and steel, brass or aluminum for industrial usage. Glands intended to resist dripping water or water pressure will include synthetic rubber or other types of elastomer seals.  Certain types of cable glands may also serve to prevent entry of flammable gas into equipment enclosures, for electrical equipment in hazardous areas. 

Although cable glands are often called "connectors", a technical distinction can be made in the terminology, which differentiates them from quick-disconnect, conducting electrical connectors. 

For routing pre-terminated cables (cables with connectors), split cable glands can be used. These cable glands consist of three parts (two gland halves and a split sealing grommet) which are screwed with a hexagonal locknut (like normal cable glands). Thus, pre-assembled cables can be routed without removing the plugs. Split cable glands can reach an ingress protection of up to IP66/IP68 and NEMA 4X.

Alternatively, split cable entry systems can be used (normally consisting of a hard frame and several sealing grommets) to route a large number of pre-terminated cables through one wall cut-out.

There are at least three types of thread standards used:
 Panzergewinde (PG standard)
 Metric thread 
National Pipe Thread (inch system)

Maxime Laubeuf. Maxime Laubeuf was a French maritime engineer of the late nineteenth century. He was born on 23 November 1864 at Poissy, Yvelines, and died on 23 December  1939 in Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes. 
  
Laubeuf was a pioneer in the design and building of submarines, and was responsible for a number of the innovations that led to modern submarine design. His work had a profound influence on the design of submersibles in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.

Laubeuf studied at the Ecole Polytechnique, and after graduating in 1883, he joined ENSTA, the French military's school of Marine Engineering.

He became an Assistant Engineer in 1887, and Engineer in 1891. During this time, he worked at Brest on the development of submersibles and designs for the first modern submarines in 1904. Two years later, he left the Navy to continue building submarines in private industry.

In 1896, the French government staged a design competition for a submarine of advanced capabilities. They required a 200-ton vessel with a surface speed of 12 knots and a 100-mile range, with a submerged speed of 6 knots and a 10-mile range. Laubeuf's design, Narval, was the winner out of 29 entries.
 
Laubeuf determined that to run efficiently on the surface and submerged his submarine would need two separate power systems; most designers up to that point had tried to find a single system for both, with mixed success. The high surface speed demanded made a steam system necessary for surface running, while using an electric motor underwater. He also arranged to use the surface engine to re-charge the batteries for the electric motor whilst on the surface.

Laubeuf also tackled the stability problem that beset submarine designs. The rounded pressure hull necessary to withstand the pressure at depth was a poor shape for sailing, making them unhandy on the surface and unstable submerged. Laubeufs's design had a double hull; an inner, rounded, reinforced hull to resist pressure, and an outer, boat-shaped hull to make the vessel seaworthy. These innovations were a leap forward in submarine design, and  were adopted by navies around the world.

Laubeuf became a member of the French Naval Academy and was elected member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1920.

Uranium zirconium hydride. Uranium zirconium hydride (UZrH, ), a dispersion of metallic uranium in a  matrix, is used as the fuel in TRIGA reactors. UZrH fuel is used in most research reactors at universities and has a large, prompt negative fuel temperature coefficient of reactivity, meaning that as the temperature of the core increases, the reactivity rapidly decreases.

Franco-Belge de Fabrication du Combustible, in Romans-sur-Isère, France, is the only manufacturer of this fuel.

Scheibe Flugzeugbau. Scheibe Flugzeugbau was a manufacturer of sailplanes and motorgliders in Germany in the second half of the 20th century. Founded by Egon Scheibe at the Munich-Riem Airport to produce his  Bergfalke design in 1951, the company had produced over 2,000 aircraft by 1985. After Egon Scheibe died in 1997, his sons-in-law took over the firm. By 2006, they were ready to relinquish control themselves due to their advanced age, but without a successor, the firm ceased operations. Hartmut Sammet subsequently founded Scheibe Aircraft GmbH in Heubach, taking over maintenance of existing Scheibe aircraft and the manufacturing rights to the Scheibe SF 25.

Hard-Hat Domo. Hard-Hat Domo is a DSiWare game that you use Domo as a construction worker to get to the top of a 100-floor building. It was made by Suzak. The game's goal is to match the ladder colors to the floor colors to get points. Sometimes, it is impossible to match both colors, but the game allows players to place a ladder as long as the ladder color and the color of the floor beneath him match. A level is cleared upon reaching the top floor. There is a timer that shows how many seconds until Wall Construction begins. Time is added to the timer when a ladder is placed. If the timer runs out, Wall Construction begins. If the Wall Construction catches up to Domo's current floor, he will lose one meat-and-potato stew bowl. If Domo loses all of his bowls, the game ends.

Scheibe Tandem-Falke. The Scheibe SF 28 Tandem-Falke (English: "falcon") is a German motorglider that was designed by Egon Scheibe in 1970 and which flew for the first time in May the following year. It was a development of the Scheibe Falke with (as its name suggests) seating in tandem rather than side-by-side as in the original Falke design.

Development
The SF 28 is a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional design with a large perspex canopy. The undercarriage consists of a non-retractable monowheel and a steerable tailwheel, linked to the rudder. Small outrigger wheels are fitted to nylon legs under each wing. The fuselage is of steel tube construction, covered in fabric and the wings are constructed of wood and fabric around a single spar.

Operational history
Scheibe entered at least one Tandem-Falke in the German Motor Glider Competition of 1977.
At least one SF28 was used by the Spanish military as 'UE 16-1' and demobilized in April 2008.

Scheibe SF 34. 

The Scheibe SF 34 Delphin (German: "dolphin") is a two-seat sailplane that was produced by Scheibe in Germany in the late 1970s and 1980s. Designed by Wolf Hoffmann and originally designated the SF H34, it was Scheibe's first unpowered aircraft of composite construction.

The SF 34 is a conventional, mid-wing, cantilever monoplane. The landing gear is of bicycle configuration, with a non-retractable nosewheel and mainwheel semi-recessed into the fuselage. The tail is also equipped with a small skid. Scheibe manufactured the type in Hungary (SF-34b), later it was produced under license in France by Centrair as the Centrair SNC-34 Alliance. In 2010, Scheibe Aircraft in Heubach intended to take up production of the SF-34 again.

Mk 6 Assault Boat. The Mk 6 Assault Boat is an assault boat used by the Royal Engineers of the British Army. It is usually paddled for a silent or night-time approach, but can be fitted with an outboard motor. Its built from glass reinforced plastic and is light enough to be carried by four men.

The Mk 6 Assault Boat is used as a versatile, general purpose craft that was designed to carry up to 10 fully equipped troops or 1,043 kg of stores. It also makes a useful ferry craft when fitted with an outboard motor. Assault Boats may be stacked six deep for storage or transport.

Whilst basic and often overlooked it has been in constant operational use since its introduction, including conducting patrols on Helmand Reservoir in Afghanistan and proved highly useful in the Southern Iraq Marshes, especially over the last year of British Operations on the Qarmat Ali Waterway, north of Basra where the ability to carry the boat over shallows made it much more employable than the faster but larger Rigid Raider or Combat Support Boat.

Masaaki Iinuma. was a Japanese aviator.

Iinuma was born in Toyoshina (now part of Azumino, Nagano Prefecture), and was a graduate of the Imperial Japanese Army flying school at Tokorozawa.

At age 24 he gained fame as the pilot on the , a Mitsubishi Ki-15 Karigane aircraft, (registration J-BAAI) sponsored by the newspaper  Asahi Shimbun. It became famous on April 9, 1937 as the first Japanese-built aircraft to fly from Japan to Europe, making the flight between Tokyo and London, in time for the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The total elapsed time from departure from the Tachikawa Airfield was 94 hours, 17 minutes and 56 seconds, with actual flight time for the whole distance of  was 51 hours, 19 minutes and 23 seconds. The crew consisted of pilot Iinuma and navigator Kenji Tsukagoshi. The flight was the first Fédération Aéronautique Internationale record won by Japanese aviators.

Iinuma later served as chief test pilot for the Kayaba Ka-1 autogyro from May 1941. Iinuma was killed in December 1941 at Phnom Penh airfield in French Indochina when, in a daze from hearing the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces, he accidentally walked into a spinning aircraft propeller. His death was officially reported as a military casualty.
