Robot Man of Szeged. The Robot Man of Szeged (Hungarian: Szegedi Robotember, literally "Robot Human of Szeged") was an early robot which was developed in Hungarian People's Republic in 1962. It was designed and constructed by Dr. Dániel Muszka of the University of Szeged, the same creator of the Ladybird of Szeged. The robot was made to serve in the Pioneer House of Szeged as a robotic receptionist, greeting and guiding visitors at the entrance.

The original Robot Man was scrapped since its debut, but Muszka built a replica in 2014.

Conception and name 

The Robot Man was constructed at the request of the Pioneer House of Szeged.

The robot's name in Hungarian is Szegedi Robotember, literally "Robot Human of Szeged", as the Hungarian language never used the word for "man" to refer to humans or people in general.

Structure 

The Robot Man was a roughly human-sized stationary robot. It was capable of rotating its head in a 100° range using an automobile windscreen wiper motor taken from a Wartburg 311. It had a photosensor built in the front of its torso. The robot's left hand held a panel of 24 buttons with topic labels next to them. The right hand held a transistor radio. The head had two "eyes" which could light up and an antenna on the top.

Operation 

The Robot Man's photosensor on its "stomach" enabled it to sense when people passed it or stood in front of it, and to "greet" them audibly. Pressing an associated button of a topic on the panel held in the robot's left hand made the Robot Man "talk" about the desired topic. The radio held in the robot's right hand either played Kossuth Rádió or Petőfi Rádió, the entirety of domestic national broadcasts of the day. During operation, the robot's "eyes" were lit and its antenna on top of its head spun.

Publicity 

The Robot Man's replica was first exhibited at the A kibernetika hőskora – avagy volt élet a PC előtt ("The Heroic Age of Cybernetics, or, There was Life Before the PC") temporary exhibition held at the Museum of Nuclear Energetics of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant at Paks in 2014. The next public appearance was at the Technical Study Stores of the Hungarian Technical and Transportation Museum (MMKM) at Budapest in 2015, as part of the annual Night of the Museums. As of 2017, the replica is one of the exhibit items at the MI és a Robot ("AI and the Robot") temporary robotics exhibition held at the Informatics History Exhibition (ITK) in Szeged.

Martin 193. The Martin 193 was a design for a giant cargo transport seaplane that was conceived in 1942 as part of the "Sky Freighter" concept for colossal flying boats that could carry large loads of troops and freight across the Atlantic Ocean in response to the sinking of Allied merchant ships by U-boats.

It was basically a 40% enlargement of the Martin JRM Mars, weighing 250,000 pounds at takeoff and featuring a longer hull and wingspan, being powered by six radial piston engines. No powerplant types were revealed.

The Martin 193 lost out to the Hughes H-4 Hercules, and after the end of World War II obviated the urgency for Sky Freighters. Martin considered a civilian version of the Model 193, but the airlines were uninterested.

Intended to be powered by a  Renault Bengali 6 engine, the AIR-16 was never flown. Sources differ but in his memoirs, Yevgeniy Adler, Kotovs successor, put the failure to fly down to inherent design weaknesses that were not able to be rectified.

Gérard Detourbet. Gérard Detourbet (28 September 1946 – 5 December 2019) was a French automotive manager at Renault, where he was Managing Director of the Renault–Nissan Alliance "Alliance A Segment Development Unit".

Career
Detourbet was a university mathematics lecturer before joining Renault's computer training center in 1971. Later, he ran through a variety of positions within the Renault Group. These included being responsible for the development of the body of the Renault 25, a product manager for engines, and later for the drive trains.

From 2003, after Renault purchased the Automobile Dacia company from the Romanian government, Detourbet was responsible for the development of the X90 (Logan) project, and concentrated on the production of modern, but very cheap entry-level cars for Eastern Europe and developing countries.

In particular, the development of the Renault Kwid under his leadership has been widely seen as groundbreaking.

Duncan Industries. Duncan Industries was a short-lived motor body manufacturer in North Walsham, Norfolk, England. It is believed to have made about 30 bodies for Alvis chassis and a lesser number for Healey chassis.

Duncan Motor Industries (Engineers) Limited was formed soon after the Second World War by engineer Ian Gair Duncan who had wartime experience as chief technical assistant to Roy Fedden, chief engineer of the Bristol Aeroplane Company.

Duncan set up his new business in his home town of North Walsham and, assisted by local boatbuilders, began building wood-framed bodies covered with alloy sheet metal to fit on Alvis chassis. Steel supplies were rationed and the demand for new cars very high and it made commercial sense for Alvis to sell its chassis to coachbuilders. He also developed a car he called Dragonfly using an air-cooled 2-cylinder engine mounted above its gearbox and final drive unit in a front-wheel-drive configuration. He managed to sell this design to Austin for what was then a large sum of money.

Duncan also developed a body of the same overall design and shape to fit a chassis made by Donald Healey Motor Company. The chassis were delivered from Warwick to North Walsham by drivers protected by a special temporary body now known as a Duncan Drone.

The Healey body differed from the Alvis body. Duncan disposed of the traditional Alvis grille and put a long low nose out with the Healey grille at its tip. It is thought as many as 39 of these bodies may have been made.

It became clear the venture was unsustainable and Duncan went back into management in the automotive components industry.

RAF Maintenance Base Safi. Royal Air Force Safi was a Royal Air Force maintenance base located on the island of Malta, which started life in 1941 as a diversion airstrip for the main operating bases such as nearby RAF Luqa. Other diversion airstrips similar in function to Safi were located at RAF Krendi and on Malta's second island of Gozo.

History

Second World War

RAF Safi was constructed at a time when Malta was under intense aerial bombardment and Malta's Air Command needed to have alternative diversion airstrips on Malta, as the RAF's main operating bases were being bombed. Construction started in 1941 and the strips were ready for use in 1942.

The base was officially inaugurated by AOC Malta Sir Keith Park in May 1943, but had been completed by 1942; it would remain operational throughout the War in the Mediterranean.

Post war
After the war, Saifi was reduced in function, becoming a maintenance base. In April 1957 the then Maltese Prime Minister Mr Dom Mintoff requested that the UK Government consider turning over RAF Saifi to his government. By 1961 the RAF maintenance facility at Safi was mostly civilian staffed and discussions in London were taking place about it being run down. 
 
The RAF left in 1979 following a British government decision not to renew the lease on RAF Luqa.

Current use
Whilst Safi's runway has long gone the hangar and dispersal area have been extensively redeveloped and two large hangars constructed which are associated with the international airport at Luqa, which has absorbed the site. There is also a neighbouring aviation business park development.

Cutting tool material. Cutting tool materials are materials that are used to make cutting tools which are used in machining (drill bits, tool bits, milling cutters, etc.) but not other cutting tools like knives or punches.

Cutting tool materials must be harder than the material of the workpiece, even at high temperatures during the process.

The following properties are required for cutting tool materials:
hardness, hot hardness and pressure resistance
bending strength and toughness
inner bonding strength
wear resistance
oxidation resistance
small propensity for diffusion and adhesion
abrasion resistance
edge strength

There is no material that shows all of these properties at the same time. Very hard materials, have lower toughness and break more easily. The following cutting tool materials are used:
Tool steels: They are relatively cheap and tough. Their hardness is sufficient to machine other steels.
Carbon tool steels: They lose their hardness at 200 °C
High speed steels: They lose their hardness at 600 °C, and are widely used in machining. Due to their ability to retain hardness at higher temperature, higher cutting speeds are possible.
Cemented carbides: Harder than tool steels, but less tough. Can be used up to 900 °C. There are many sort of cemented carbides like ones made of tungsten carbide and cobalt or cermets.
Cutting ceramic: They are even harder than cemented carbides but have lower toughness. Aluminium oxide and silicon nitride are used. The latter has higher toughness, but can't be used for machining steel, due to very high wear. Alumina, or aluminum oxide, is also extensively used in the production of cutting tools due to its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Alumina cutting tools also have high thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate heat generated during cutting, minimizing thermal damage to both the tool and the workpiece. Additionally, alumina's chemical stability ensures that it does not react with materials being cut, preventing contamination and maintaining the purity of the finished product.
Super hard materials:
cubic boron nitride: It is nearly as hard as diamond.
diamond: The hardest known material, but can only be used up to 600 °C and can't be used to machine steel.
