R127/R134 (New York City Subway car). The R127 and R134  are New York City Subway cars purpose-built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan for work train service. The ten R127s, numbered EP001 to EP010, were built in 1990–1991 while the eight R134s, numbered EP011 to EP018, were built in 1994–1996.

The cars were built to the specifications of the subway's A Division (numbered routes), which are slightly narrower than those of the B Division (lettered routes), and are similar to the R62 and R62A passenger cars used on the A Division. However, they can be found on either division and are used as garbage train motors. They are not air-conditioned and instead have axiflow fans, resulting in these cars frequently replaced by air-conditioned passenger cars used on garbage trains in summer.

China Geo-Engineering Corporation. China Geo-Engineering Corporation (abbreviated as CGC) is a Chinese construction company that ranks in the Engineering News Record annual compilation of construction firms as one of the 250 largest international contractors by sales, with international project revenue of $665.6 million in 2012.

The company has performed work on several water-related infrastructure projects across Africa.  In 2005, it won a tender against a field of 10 companies and consortia in Mozambique to build the water supply network in the cities of Xai-Xai and Chokwe.  In Zambia, the company worked on the Kabwe water and sanitation project, powering through the project despite delays by the Zambian government in disbursing counterparty funding.  By the end of 2007, the government had moved to fund the 1 billion Zambian kwacha in delayed payments, an action praised by the Lusaka Times in an editorial as "a very good development".  When the company started in Ghana in 2005, it started out drilling water holes before moving on to other water projects and infrastructure.

The Ghana branch of the company is well developed with, as of 2013, about 1000 employees, 800 of whom are local, and does about $50 million in business every year.  It works on contracts for water, roads, and hospitals.

ESTOLAS. ESTOLAS (Extremely Short Take Off and Landing on Any Surface) was a proposal for a hybrid type of aircraft that was developed from 2012 to 2014 in a project funded by the European Commission. 

Instead of an airplane's usual long, relatively narrow fuselage, it was proposed to have a bloated central void filled with helium gas to make the aircraft lighter. In addition, vertical lift was to be provided by a centrally located horizontal propeller, which, together with a skirt, gives properties of a hovercraft and capability to land and take off from water, snow, and other surfaces.

The 24-month project had a budget of €708,426.

Life and career
Thomas Mutrie Husband was born in Glasgow on 7 July 1936. He was educated at Shawlands Academy, then went straight from school to a 5-year trade apprenticeship as a marine engine fitter at the Weir Group in Cathcart, Glasgow. On completion and with a Higher National Certificate he was sponsored by Weir to take a sandwich-structured BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering at Strathclyde University. He worked as a manager and project engineer at Weir having graduated in 1961. He left Glasgow to join the multi-national Swedish engineering group ASEA (now ABB) and worked with them in Denmark,  Sweden and South Africa. In 1965 he came back to take an MA degree at Strathclyde in Management, then won a UK Government Fellowship to study Management on a 1-year tenure at the University of Chicago.

Husband was then appointed to a Lectureship in Engineering Management at Strathclyde (1967–70), where he also graduated with a PhD degree, before becoming Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of Production Management at the University of Glasgow (1970–73). In 1973 he was appointed Professor of Manufacturing Organisation at Loughborough University. He was next appointed, in 1981, to be Professor of Engineering Manufacture at Imperial College London, and was head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial from 1983 to 1990. He also established the Centre for Robotics and Automated Systems at Imperial and was its Director from 1982 to 1990. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1988. He moved to the University of Salford in 1990, serving as Vice-Chancellor until 1997.

During his tenure at Salford he was a Director at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre, a Council Member of the Engineering Council, a member of the Manchester Steering Group for the Commonwealth Games and a Trustee of the Granada Foundation. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Manchester in 1990.

After his retirement from Salford he took on a range of roles including Chairman of the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, Chairman of UKERNA, an expert adviser to the Swedish Government on their Nutek Programme and membership of the Governing Body of Bournemouth University.

Tom Husband died in Dorset on 17 August 2023, at the age of 87.

}}Hydrofuramide''' is a condensation product of three molar equivalents of furfural with two molar equivalents of ammonia. Hydrofuramide is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 118-119 °C. The molecule may be described as a diimine with three pendant furanyl rings. Hydrofuramide is a versatile specialty chemical with applications in diverse areas, including rubber additives, pharmaceutical intermediates, preservatives, and rodenticides.

 Synthesis 
Hydrofuramide was prepared in 1960 by Kapur via the reaction of furfural with aqueous ammonia in chilled ethanol solution.

 Reactions 
The reactive imine double bonds of hydrofuramide are easily reduced. Reduction with aqueous sodium borohydride yields N,N''-bisfurfuryl-2-furylmethanediamine, useful as an antihypertensive drug compound.

Catalytic hydrogenation of hydrofuramide with Raney nickel in the presence of ammonia in ethanol yields mixtures of furfurylamine and difurfurylamine. By contrast, hydrogenation in acetic acid-ethanol, employing platinum oxide catalyst yielded the tertiary amine tri-furfurylamine after neutralization. Furthermore, lithium aluminium hydride reduction of hydrofuramide yields furfurin, a tetracyclic compound.

Applications

Rubber vulcanization
Hydrofuramide has shown effectiveness as a synergist with zinc stearate in enhancing the rate of vulcanization of styrene-butadiene rubber. Similar synergistic effect was seen in the vulcanization of natural rubber with hydrofuramide-sulfenamide activator where introduction of hydrofuramide reduced induction time, scorch time, and optimum cure time.

Raticide
Hydrofuramide has been found to be selectively toxic to rats. For all types of rats the lethal dose is 1 g/kg body weight. The chemical is less toxic to guinea pigs and has little or no toxicity to swine, dogs, cats or birds.

Food technology
Development of a pink color in a modified Badouin test, employing hydrofuramide, is diagnostic for adulteration of butter with cheap hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Paul M. Lewis (car builder). Paul M. Lewis (September 12, 1896 - November 27, 1990) was an American entrepreneur, inventor and car builder. He built the Airomobile (1937), Fascination (1962), three Renault powered models, and an Oldsmobile Toronado-sourced V6.

Lewis moved to Denver from Idaho Springs, Colorado in 1933 to open a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) airplane company. He soon began constructing a mass market automobile with a three-wheeled layout. He partnered with former Franklin Motor Company engineers to design the engine. Production was sought with the Doman-Marks Engine Company, but in 1936 disputes with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) halted the project. The company went bankrupt in 1939.

Lewis tried again with Fascination in 1962. It was built by his Lakewood, Colorado company Highway Aircraft Corporation. It was intended as a futuristic 130 mile-per-hour automobilewith 180-degree turning capability. To build the planned vehicles he partnered with tractor cab manufacturer Egging Manufacturing Company of Gurley, Nebraska. He touted development of a Nobel Gas Plasma Engine for the car, but it never came to pass.
