Western Electric M-33 Antiaircraft Fire Control System. The Western Electric M-33 Antiaircraft Fire Control System ("M-33 fire-control system", "Antiaircraft Fire Control System M33", "AA FCS M33") was an X-Band "Gunfire Control Radar", for aiming antiaircraft artillery by computer control.  Developed for mobility via 3 trailers, the "M-33 system could compute, for the 90-mm. and 120-mm. guns, firing data for targets with speeds up to 1,000 mph", and for targets at 120,000 yards had similar gun laying accuracy as "SCR-584 type radars" at 70,000 yards.  The system included a telescopic "target selector" on a tripod near the guns for additional measurement of aircraft "azimuth and elevation data [to] be transmitted to the computer and utilized as gun directing data."

The M-33 was deployed overseas and as part of the CONUS "manual air defense system" for which Army Air Defense Command Posts telephoned foe aircraft information to the M-33 units which used its surveillance board to mark targets using grease pencil.

Development and deployment

In 1944, the US Army contracted for an electronic "computer with guns, a tracking radar, plotting boards and communications equipment"  (M33C & M33D models used different subassemblies for 90 & 120 mm gun/ammunition ballistics.)  The "trial model predecessor" (T-33) was used as late as 1953, and the production M33 (each $383,000 in 1954 dollars) had been deployed in 1950.  The 34th AAA Brigade's 90mm guns were converted to the M-33 by December 3, 1954, after the 95th AAA Brigade had been upgraded.  Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Bliss were training posts for M-33 personnel, and by 1957 there were 3 Ordnance Detachments in Germany for M33 Integrated Fire Control Repair—150th (Wiesbaden), 151st (Mannheim), & 152nd (Kaiserslautern) Ord Det (IFCR); and functional test sites included the White Sands Proving Ground ranges (e.g.,  "Hueco Range No. 3).  The M33 was also used for satellite tracking in 1961.

Successors
By December 1955 the T38 Antiaircraft Fire Control System with T9 radar tracker and T27 computer (variant E2) had been developed for the "completely integrated antiaircraft weapon designated as the Skysweeper" with T84 75-mm AA guns.  The M-33 was later "utilized as a basic building block" by Strategic Air Command for the early 1960s Reeves AN/MSQ-35 Bomb Scoring Central (the M33 tracking console was used for the Vietnam War's AN/MSQ-77, AN/TSQ-81, & AN/TSQ-96 Bomb Directing Centrals).

M-33s were later used for geological/meteorological research (1966 San Clemente Island, 1978 Winston Field, Penn State, Univ of Wyoming, & 1963 Austin.

En résille. Émail en résille sur verre ("enamel in a network on glass") is a rare and difficult enameling technique first practiced for a brief period in seventeenth-century France. It was later revived by American metalsmith Margret Craver, who encountered the technique in 1953 and spent 13 years re-creating and perfecting it.

Method
The technique involves etching a design in a piece of glass, which is then lined with gold foil and the hollow filled with powdered enamel. It is difficult to accomplish in part because of the extremely careful regulation of temperature required to fuse the enamel without damaging the glass in which it is embedded. The edges of the foil form a frame for the enamel, giving the appearance, as artist William Claude Harper described it, of "the most delicate cloisonné that you can imagine".

1950s rediscovery
In 1953, metalsmith Margret Craver saw a pin decorated using the technique.  Craver began studying the technique, researching and testing it over the course of about thirteen years to reproduce it.  Because the technique was not being practiced, and there were no instructional texts in existence, the work was slow, and Craver had to design her own tools.  On the technique, Craver said "it took forever, because this was such an ancient technique and no one knew a darn thing about it.  I just had to start out and do it myself."

Nanotransfer printing. Nanotransfer printing (nTP) (compare with microcontact printing) is a purely additive and high resolution metal printing technique.  It mainly relies on the principle of surface chemistry - chemically modified surfaces act as interfacial "release" or "glue" layers to aid in transfer printing nano-structured metal ink from relief features (aka "stamp") to a surface of interest.  The nTP can be simply envisioned as "a process of signature stamping using rubber-stamp".  In a rubber stamping, conventionally crafted signature/logo on a rubber stamp is transferred or replicated onto a paper surfaces using organic dye or ink while in nTP, nanolithographically created structures on silicon or PDMS "stamp" are transferred or printed on other surfaces such as glass or polymers using metal ink. nTP has found wide applications in various areas including electronics, chemical sensing, spintronics, and plasmonics. The technique has been successfully implemented for creating various functional structures having sub-100 nm spatial resolution. It was invented by Yueh-Lin Loo.

SGMLguid. SGMLguid, also known as "CERN SGML", "Waterloo based SGML", and "Waterloo SGML", was an early SGML application developed and used at CERN between 1986 and 1990. It served as a model of the earliest HTML specifications.

History

In 1984, CERN started the CERNDOC project, a document filing and retrieval system that would standardize CERN's manifold and mutually incompatible documentation practices. The project adapted an earlier documentation system developed at the  Rutherford Laboratory, a British particle physics research facility. Written in the Rexx programming language, installed on an IBM 3090-200 mainframe computer, and running on the VM/CMS operating system, the system stored tens of thousands of documents in a hierarchical structure. It offered keyword searching and was able to display documents on a screen or send them to a printer.

CERNDOC supported two markup systems: a GML application named CERNPAPER, developed locally in 1985, and  a SGML application created in 1986 by Anders Berglund, who was at the time responsible for text processing in the CERN data handling division. Berglund mapped a Waterloo SCRIPT macro set onto SGML, basing his application on the document type defined in Annex E of ISO 8879 and on AAP DTD, the American Association of Publishers' document type. Prior art also includes the IBM GML starter set. The application features an extensive tag set for preparing foils, memos, letters, scientific papers, and manuals, amongst other use cases. 

In 1990, when Eric van Herwijnen acted as head of text processing in the CERN Administrative Services Department, CERN replaced CERNDOC with the IBM Document Composition Facility (DCF), thereby obsoleting both CERNPAPER and SGMLguid. To replace these applications, Herwijnen and Michel Goossens mapped IBM's Bookmaster macro sets onto a number of DTDs.

CERN discontinued its use of mainframe computing in 1994.

Relevance for HTML

Tim Berners-Lee, who was working as a CERN contractor when he created the  Web, encountered CERNguid in October 1987, when CERN's Online Computing Group started to maintain its documentation in CERNDOC. Berners-Lee found its hierarchical structure highly limiting. 

For HTML, Berners-Lee adopted SGML syntax and a subset of the tags specified in CERN's SGMLguid.

Evert Hoek. Evert Hoek FREng (23 August 1933 – 6 July 2024) was a Zimbabwean-Canadian mechanical engineer specializing in Geotechnical Engineering and a leading international expert in rock mechanics.

Life and career
Hoek was born in Southern Rhodesia on 23 August 1933. He began his research for Rock Mechanics in 1958 (due to problems with brittle rock in deep gold mines in South Africa) and in 1965 at the University of Cape Town PhD (rock fracture under static stress conditions). From 1965, he was at Imperial College, where he set up one faculty-wide center for rock mechanics at the Royal School of Mines. He developed there, among others in 1968, a triaxial test for Rock Mechanics. Later, he became a professor at the University of Toronto in 1975 for twelve years as a senior consulting engineer at Golder Associates (where he was Senior Principal and Chairman) in Vancouver, then an independent consulting engineer with a private engineering firm in Vancouver.

Hoek was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2006 for major worldwide contributions in the development and application of rational design procedures for engineered systems in rock. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. He received a doctorate degree (D. Sc.) from the University of London and honorary doctorates in the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo. He received the first prize of the Mueller International Society of Rock Mechanics and was the 1983 Rankine Lecturer (Strength of jointed rock masses) and 2000 Terzaghi Lecturer (Big tunnels in bad rock). 
Dr. Hoek has published more than 100 papers and 3 books. His classic Rock Slope Engineering has been updated by Duncan Wyllie to a 5th edition, published by CRC Press in 2017. He died on 6 July 2024, at the age of 90.

Prospecting dog. An prospecting dog is a dog that has been specially trained to aid prospectors in finding mineral deposits near but not on the surface of the ground.  Many mineral ores (especially sulfide ores) emit a specific aroma that a dog can be trained to detect.

History
The first dog trained for mineral prospecting was Lari, owned and trained by Pentti Mattsson in Finland by request of the geological survey of Finland to find sulphide boulders hidden beneath the overgrowth of peat.

A program was undertaken in 1962 by the Geological Survey of Finland (under the direction of A. Kahma and T. Mustonen) to determine if specially trained dogs could be used to detect on- or near-surface mineral deposits.  Mattsson was recruited based on his recognized expertise in dog training.  Mattsson concentrated his work on sulfide-bearing ores such as pyrite because of the unique aroma produced by the sulfide compounds.  A series of experiments determined that the dogs were significantly better at finding ore-containing boulders than human prospectors.

Following the initial experimental success, the program was put into full production, using sixteen dogs over the course of 30 years (1964 to 1994).  At its peak in the mid-1980s, the program was employing eight dogs simultaneously.  Mattsson's methods were adapted in the UK to the training of the world's first drug detection dogs.

In a retrospective study of the original research, Valkama and Ojala found that the dogs had an effective career of six years, working six months per year.  By 1994, the program had been abandoned because the training and upkeep costs of the dogs was considered prohibitively expensive.

Student Information Processing Board. The Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) is a student group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that helps students access computing resources and use them effectively.

History
SIPB was founded in 1969 by Bob Frankston, Gary Gut, David Burmaster, and Ed Fox. At the time, computers in universities were still expensive resources reserved for funded research projects. Through an arrangement with the MIT administration, SIPB administered student accounts on university-owned computers. This allowed students access to MIT's timeshared computers when computers otherwise cost millions of dollars and were as big as an entire room.

In 1983, MIT launched Project Athena, an initiative to create a distributed computing system for educational use. SIPB was instrumental in the creation of Project Athena and helped to provide MIT students with access to computing resources for independent projects. Project Athena led to several important Unix technologies such as X11, instant messaging, and network filesystems.

SIPB set up a Web server at www.mit.edu in 1993, when the number of public web servers was roughly 100 and long before university Web sites became common.  When MIT finally did set up an official website, it was at web.mit.edu.

Projects
SIPB has been instrumental for funding technical software projects that benefit the MIT community. These have included:
 scripts.mit.edu, a dynamic web hosting service
 MIT Minecraft, a virtual MIT campus in Minecraft
 CourseRoad, a course planning aid for MIT students
 Debathena, a set of software packages for Athena clients
 XVM, a virtual machine service
 BarnOwl, an instant messaging client
