Rotondi R-2 Tobia. The Rotondi R.2 Tobia was built as a student group project in an Italian technical institute, begun in 1958. The sole example of this single seat, wooden glider first flew in 1962.

Design and development
The Tobia was specifically designed by Rotondi as the basis of an extended aircraft building project for the students of the aeronautical division of the G. Feltrinelli Technical Institute of Milan.  This turned out to be a four-year exercise, beginning in 1958.  It was a shoulder wing, single seat, wood and fabric glider with a single spar, straight tapered, square tipped wing. From the spar forwards the wing was plywood covered, forming a torsion resisting D-box; aft, it was fabric covered.  Its ailerons were long and narrow, covering half the span. The inner parts of the wing carried mid-chord air brakes similar to those used on the influential DFS Olympia Meise.

The Tobia had an oval, almost circular cross section, fabric covered fuselage.  Its long cockpit was centred on the wing leading edge and was covered by a single piece, teardrop shaped perspex canopy.  The tail surfaces were straight tapered and square tipped with the tailplane and elevators mounted slightly above the fuselage on a dorsal fin fillet; the fin was tall and the rudder extended down to the keel and control surfaces were not aero-dynamically balanced.  The Tobia had a retractable monowheel undercarriage, with a landing skid ahead of it to the nose.

The sole Tobia's first flight was made in 1962. Later, wing fitting damage sustained in a heavy landing ended its career.

IMR vessel. An Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR) vessel is a highly technical vessel, deployed in the offshore industry.
Their primary task comprises the inspection and repair of subsea facilities and installations. These vessels are often equipped for other tasks including diving support, scale treatment and light construction work.

Capabilities 

IMR vessels are designed to continue operations in harsh weather conditions. They are equipped with IMO Class II or Class III Dynamic Positioning Systems and have the latest technology on board. The vessels usually have a large deck area, used for the carriage of auxiliary equipment, spools, containers, etc. The accommodation provides capacity for between 80 and 100 people. The vessels often have a helicopter platform. Most vessels have 1 or 2 cranes for supplies and installation of small-size structures. All vessels have a moon pool installed for the support of ROVs. Many IMR vessels have tanks for the supply of potable fresh water, brine and lubrication oil to the installation and the removal of greywater and sewage from it.

Operations 

These multi-purpose vessels' work includes:

 support for one or more ROVs
 survey and maintenance of pipelines
 support for diving
 structural inspections
 scale treatment
 support for laying cables and hoses
 bolt inspection and replacement
 support for drilling
 light construction work
 support for the maintenance of offshore installations
 well stimulation

Design 

Modern IMR vessels concentrate on a bigger operational window, being able to operate in the harshest of weather conditions, including the arctic environment. Many new vessels have an ice class notation and carry winterization equipment. New vessels are designed to be more environmental friendly and energy efficient by reducing emissions, using less or alternative fuel (LNG) and noise reduction. Designers and operators focus on a comfortable environment for crewmembers. IMR vessels often have a gymnasium, a solarium, a movie theatre and a high-quality kitchen.

Jet Age Museum. The Jet Age Museum is the trading name of the Gloucestershire Aviation Collection, an all-volunteer, charitable organisation dedicated to the preservation of Gloucestershire's aviation heritage. The aviation museum is located on the north side of Gloucestershire Airport, between Gloucester and Cheltenham. It houses a number of aircraft, aero engines, cockpits and other related exhibits. It is themed on the early development of jet aircraft, in particular the role played by the Gloster Aircraft Company and other local firms such as Dowty Rotol and Smiths Industries.  The museum is also the custodian of the Russell Adams photographic archive.

History
The organisation was formed in 1986 and established as a company limited by guarantee.

The museum first opened to the public at the Gloucester Trading Estate, the former Brockworth aerodrome. With the aid of grants and public donations, it began to amass a collection of aircraft. The museum's first significant public opening began with a temporary exhibition in a hangar adjacent to Gloucestershire Airport. This had to close in 2000 after it was announced the former wartime hangar was to be demolished. The aircraft were dispersed to a number of locations in Gloucestershire including, briefly, at the former GAC 'shadow' factory at Bentham. A workshop was established at Brockworth Court and the remaining airframes eventually made their way back to Gloucestershire Airport, where they were placed in open storage. In 2005, an Avro Anson in the collection was sold for restoration.

The museum made a number of unsuccessful bids to the Heritage Lottery Fund to construct a purpose-built facility before finally submitting plans for a building at Gloucestershire Airport.  In January 2011 plans were approved for a new building to house the museum's collection. One year later, an agreement was reached for a 45 year lease of the land the building sits on.

The museum opened provisionally from 24 August 2013 and officially in May 2014. A Gloster Meteor was added in 2013 and a Gloster Javelin purchased from RAF Leeming in 2014 was moved to the museum a few months later. With these acquisitions, the museum had a significant number of aircraft on display outside and as a result announced a fundraising campaign for an extension in 2019.

Continuous test-driven development. Continuous test-driven development (CTDD) is a software development practice that extends test-driven development (TDD) by means of automatic test execution in the background, sometimes called continuous testing.

Practice
In CTDD the developer writes a test first but is not forced to execute the tests manually. The tests are run automatically by a continuous testing tool running in the background. This technique can potentially reduce the time waste resulting from manual test execution by eliminating the need for the developer to start the test after each phase of the normal TDD practice: after writing the (initially failing) test, after producing the minimal amount of code for the test to pass and after refactoring the code.

Wild DoubleEnder. The Wild DoubleEnder is an American twin engine utility aircraft designed for bush flying. It was designed to be the ultimate platform for flying in a remote environment, where safety, performance, and visibility are all extremely crucial.

Design and development
The DoubleEnder is a two place tandem seat conventional landing gear equipped, high winged aircraft. The two engines are mounted in tandem on top of the fuselage in a push-pull configuration. The steel tube fuselage is fabric covered with a plexiglas nose. A  belly pod can be used to increase fuel capacity to . A variety of wing configurations and lift devices were used during the development period.

Specifications (DoubleEnder)

History 
The DoubleEnder project started in the mid-2000s when designer Alec Wild set out to design a modern bush plane. He started to design the aircraft in 2007 with the help of Doug Keller, and Eric Lewis. They started the design around 2007 and had finished the prototype by 2010. After the prototype was built, the aircraft saw many variants of wings, flaps, ailerons, spoilers, slats, tail surfaces, and more. The team even had plans to design and build multiple variants of the aircraft. The status of the project as a whole remains unclear and the aircraft's last known flight was in 2015.

Vickers Aircraft Wave. The Vickers Aircraft Company Wave is a two-seat amphibious aircraft,  under development by the Vickers Aircraft Company of Hamilton, New Zealand. It was introduced at the Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida in 2014.

Design and development
The Wave is a two-seat, side-by-side configuration, high wing amphibious aircraft. The fuselage and wings are constructed from a combination of aluminum and carbon fibre composite materials. An automatic folding wing mechanism and ballistic parachute are planned to be integrated.

Paul Vickers, CEO of Vickers Aircraft Company LTD, has indicated that the company's approach to the development of the Wave has been intentionally non-traditional, and involves simultaneous product and manufacturing development. In April 2020, eleven years after initiation of development of the aircraft, Paul Vickers wrote that "The WAVE will be ready soon, but not before it is. It has taken the time that has been necessary to design and produce a truly incredible aircraft." The first flight of the prototype aircraft took place on March 12 2022 "

The powerplant chosen for the Wave in September 2015 was the  Continental Titan 340 four-stroke engine, mounted in a pusher configuration. In late 2019, Vickers announced a switch to the  Rotax 915iS four-stroke turbocharged engine, in the same configuration.

The aircraft is intended for the US light-sport aircraft category.

Methylthioirontricarbonyl dimer. Methylthioirontricarbonyl dimer, also known as methanethiolatoirontricarbonyl dimer, is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe2(SCH3)2(CO)6.  It is a red volatile solid that is classified as a transition metal thiolate complex.  It exists as air-stable red crystals with two isomers, where the methyl groups are either anti (isomer A) or syn (isomer B) with respect to each other.

Synthesis
It was first synthesized 1940 with the discovery of isomers in 1962. Synthesis involves treating triiron dodecacarbonyl with dimethyl disulfide:
2 Fe3(CO)12 + 3 (CH3)2S2  →  3 [Fe(CO)3SCH3]2 + 6 CO
It can be purified by recrystallization or by sublimation. The isomers can be separated by chromatography.

Structure
The methylthioirontricarbonyl dimer is a butterfly cluster compound, consisting of two iron atoms with distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry.  The geometry is octahedral if the Fe-Fe bond is included. Each iron has three terminal carbon monoxide ligands and two bridging methylthiolate ligands. The Fe-Fe distance is 2.537 Å with an average Fe-S bond length of 2.259 Å. The average Fe-S-Fe bond angle is relatively small at 68.33°. Three isomers are possible but only the diequatorial and axial-equatorial isomers are seen. The diaxial isomer is disfavored due to steric hindrance. The structurally related compound [Fe(CO)3S]2 has idealized C2v symmetry.

Propulsion Universelle et Récuperation d'Énergie. Propulsion Universelle et Récupération d'Énergie (PURE; English: Universal Propulsion and Energy Recovery) was a motorsports engineering company founded by former British American Racing team principal Craig Pollock in 2011. It aimed to design and manufacture engines for use under the  Formula One technical regulations, that mandate a switch from the current normally aspirated V8 engines to turbocharged V6 engines. The company was linked to Mecachrome, and employed former members of Renault and Peugeot's 1990s Formula One engine programmes.

In July 2011, the company secured the services of Gilles Simon, formerly head of Scuderia Ferrari's engine department and the FIA technical director for powertrain development. The recruitment was controversial, with several teams and manufacturers – particularly Renault – expressing concerns that Simon's previous position with the FIA would grant him access to sensitive technical data about engine designs that could potentially be used by PURE in the development of their own engine. Simon and PURE rejected these suggestions, stating that the process of developing the 2014 engine regulations had been transparent, and that all parties involved had access to the same information so that no individual group would have an advantage. PURE used Toyota Motorsport's facilities in Cologne, Germany, whilst also maintaining a French base. In July 2012, PURE suspended its engine programme due to a lack of funding and later ceased operations.

Beauty micrometer. The beauty micrometer, also known as the beauty calibrator, was a device designed in the early 1930s to help in the identification of the areas of a person's face which need to have their appearance reduced or enhanced by make-up. The inventors include famed beautician Max Factor Sr. A 2013 Wired article described the device as "a Clockwork Orange style device" that combines "phrenology, cosmetics and a withering pseudo-scientific analysis". A photograph of Factor, using the device on actress Marjorie Reynolds featured in a 1935 article in science magazine Modern Mechanix and, when republished by The Guardian in 2013, the caption described it as being "a contraption that looks like an instrument of torture".

Placed on and around the head and face, the beauty micrometer uses flexible metal strips which align with a person's facial features. The screws holding the strips in place allow for 325 adjustments, enabling the operator to make fine measurements with a precision of one thousandth of an inch. The inventors stated that there are two key measurements that they looked for: the heights of the nose and forehead should be the same, and the eyes should be separated by the width of one eye. When an imperfection is identified, corrective make-up can be applied to enhance or subdue the feature. The company Max Factor claims that the device helped Max Factor, Sr. to better understand the female face.

The beauty micrometer was completed in 1932 and was primarily intended for use in the movie industry. When an actor's face is shown on a very large scale their "flaws" are magnified and can become "glaring distortions", according to the Modern Mechanix article. This device was intended to remedy the perceived problem, and the inventors also envisioned it being used in beauty shops. However, it did not become popular and did not gain widespread usage. Only one beauty micrometer is believed to exist. It is featured in a display at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum and came up for auction in 2009, falling significantly short of the $10,000–$20,000 estimate.
