Kharkiv KhAI-3. The Kharkiv KhAI-3 or Aviavnito-3 was one of several Soviet mid-1930s motor glider transports intended to reduce transport costs.

Design and development
Alexandr Alekseyevich Lazerev, who led the Kharkiv KhAI-3 Avianvito design team, was already familiar with the problems posed by tailless aircraft. He was on the team which designed the almost uncontrollable KhAI-4 two years before (the Institute's designs did not always appear in their numerical order). That aircraft was grounded after just three flights for being dangerous.

The much larger KhAI-3 was intended to show that low-powered aircraft could carry a useful eleven-passenger load with an engine of just over .

It was a tailless aircraft with a broad-chord wing and with a  tractor engine, fin and rudder all on the centreline. Though there were initial thoughts of mounting the KhAI-3's Shvetsov M-11 five cylinder radial engine on a pylon over the wing, it was finally placed ahead of the leading edge on steel tubes running from the front wing spar and fed from four tanks in the wing. There were two long, six seat cabins on each side of the centerline, with the pilot in the first portside seat. The large, triangular fin mounted a broad, round-topped rudder.

Its wing center section was rectangular in plan, with a steel tube  four spar structure and dural skinning. It had a chord of  and a chord/thickness ratio of 14%. The outer panels making up 82% of the span, were all-wood with dihedral and 16° of sweep on the leading edge only. The panels decreased in thickness outwards from 14% to 7%, with 8° washout.  Each wing carried three control surfaces. Near each tip, at midchord and parallel to the leading edge there was a rectangular air brake which were operated differentially by pedals which also controlled the rudder to assist in making turns. Inboard of the air brakes, each outer panel trailing edge carried two broad-chord control surfaces that acted as both ailerons and elevators.

The Kharkiv KhAI-3 had a fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. Its forward-mounted engine and propeller allowed a short tailwheel to provide a ground angle of attack of 15°, avoiding one of the problems encountered with the KhAI-4.

Operational history

The first flight was made on 14 September 1936. On this occasion the front seats of both cabins were equipped with dual controls; the pilots were V. A. Borodin and E. I. Schwartz. During this and subsequent flights, controlled turns proved difficult however the various control surfaces were combined. A long development programme yielded significant improvements.

The 1937 Aviavnito-8 was a proposed but unflown development with the same passenger capacity, dimensions and engine.

MAZ-529. The MAZ-529 (МАЗ-529) is a uniaxial tractor designed by the Soviet vehicle manufacturer Minsky Automobilny Zavod (MAZ), which started production in 1959. From 1958, production of this type was relocated to MoAZ as part of the specialization of the Soviet automobile industry and continued there until 1973 under the name MoAZ-529.

Background

Prior to 1955 American models of heavy uniaxial tractors had been introduced to the Soviet Union. For example, from 1955 on there were tests with these very vehicles in order to examine them for their possible applications. In 1956 the first indigenous prototype of such a tractor was built at MAZ. This too was extensively tested, with the goal of universal applicability. Trailers were built and tested in the form of scrapers, cement mixers, simple flatbeds and even an artificial ice rink.

After completing the tests, MAZ quickly started series production of the machines. Even in 1956, the Soviet automobile industry was already so specialized that the complete train was no longer manufactured by MAZ. Only the tractor was made in Minsk, the trailer (in the standard production version a scraper) was already built at MoAZ. Since the tractor is not able to drive on its own without a trailer, a much smaller support wheel was mounted at the front to prevent the vehicle tipping over. Before normal operation, this jockey wheel was removed. 

These vehicles should not be confused with single axle tractors, even if they also have only one axis and are used as a tractor for attachments. A special feature of the vehicle is that no suspension was installed. Only the big tires are used for damping.

In 1965 the improved MAZ-529E was built at MoAZ. It had an increased output of  and was also manufactured until 1969, before being replaced by the MoAZ-546P. Production of the MoAZ-529 continued until 1973.

North American NAC-60. The North American NAC-60 was the first American supersonic transport (SST) project. The development took place in the 1960s as part of a government-funded design competition to build an American SST as the joint Anglo-French Concorde and the short-serviced Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 were underway. The design, however, due to being slower and smaller than the expectations of the American SST Race, was rejected in favor of the Lockheed and Boeing designs, allowing them to get further study.

Design 
In some respects, the NAC-60 was a scaled-up variant of North American's bomber prototype, the XB-70 Valkyrie. As with the B-70, the design of the NAC-60 did not include horizontal stabilizers at the tail structure, but did retain the high-mounted canard above the cockpit area, and the box-like engine area under the fuselage. The use of high-lift devices on the leading edge of the wing lowered the landing angles to the point where the "drooping nose" was not required, and a more conventional rounded design was used. Compared to the other designs, the rounded nose profile and more cylindrical cross-section gave the NAC-60 a decidedly more conventional look than the other entries. This also meant it would fly slower, at Mach 2.65.

Bossa Nova Robotics. Bossa Nova Robotics is a startup robotics company that manufactures inventory control robots for use in retail stores. They are best known for an attempt to use these robots in Walmart stores, in Walmart's effort to better compete with Amazon.

In 2018, Bossa Nova Robotics received $29 million in a funding round led by Cota Capital to go towards international expansion, software improvements and deployment of their robots. China Walden Ventures, LG Electronics, Intel Capital, Lucas Venture Group, and WRV Capital also participated.

Their Auto-S line of robots scanned store shelves by beaming light on them and snapping photos using 2D and 3D cameras, as well as utilizing lidar to navigate and detect if anything was stocked in a shelf. From this it could detect out-of-stock items, incorrect prices, and other irregularities.

History 
Bossa Nova was founded in 2005 by students attending Carnegie Mellon University, spinning out from their Robotics Institute. They began creating robotic toys, such as a robotic penguin and a programmable gorilla, though they did not see much success on the market. In 2012, Bossa Nova unveiled a ballbot named mObi, which featured a tablet screen on the top and was to act as a personal assistant.

Bossa Nova began working with Walmart to build their retail robots in 2014, though they did not have a finished version of the product until 2017, when Walmart began testing them in 50 stores. Other, smaller stores also began to test out the product, and Walmart rolled out an additional 300 robots in 2019. The robots moved at 20 centimeters a second on four wheels and used sensors to navigate around objects and shoppers.

In July 2018, the company acquired Hawxeye, a computer vision and facial recognition software company.

Walmart ended its contract with Bossa Nova in late 2020, triggering Bossa Nova to lay off more than 61 workers and close its European robotics division.  Bossa Nova co-founder Sarjoun Skaff stated: “I cannot comment on Walmart, however, the pandemic has forced us to streamline our operations and focus on our core technologies,” said Skaff. “We have made stunning advances in AI and robotics. Our retail AI is the industry’s best and works as well on robots as with fixed cameras, and our hardware, autonomy and operations excelled in more than 500 of the world’s most challenging stores. With the board’s full support, we continue deploying this technology with our partners in retail and in other fields.” 

Walmart's decision to change course with Bossa Nova shows how companies need to evaluate how robots may or may not work well in less-structured settings.

First water-to-water flight. The place of First water-to-water flight was designated a California Historic Landmark (No.775) on September 25, 1962. On May 10, 1912, 26 year old Glenn L. Martin (January 17, 1886 – December 5, 1955) flew a self-built seaplane from Balboa Bay at Newport Bay, California to Avalon  Harbor on Catalina Island, then back across the channel. His amphibian biplane, the Avalon Zipper, broke the earlier English Channel record for over-water flight. Martin's total distance was , with the Newport-Avalon leg taking 37 minutes. Avalon Zipper had a 15-horsepower Model V Ford gasoline engine donated by Henry Ford. He picked up a bag of mail on the island on the way, and was presented with $100 ($ in 2011) prize for his achievement. The trip made headline news around the world. Soon regular seaplane passenger and freight services started between Catalina and the ports of Balboa, Long Beach, Wilmington and San Diego, like: Catalina Air Lines. Jim Watson, an aviation historian made a television documentary Wings Across the Channel, the Golden Age of Seaplanes on Catalina., starting with Glenn L. Martin trip.

Markers
Marker at the site reads: 
On May 10, 1912, Glenn L. Martin flew his own plane, built in Santa Ana, from the waters of the Pacific Ocean at Balboa to Catalina Island. This was the first water-to-water flight, and the longest and fastest overwater flight, to that date. On his return to the mainland, Martin carried the day's mail from Catalina-another first.

Endpoint detection and response. Endpoint detection and response (EDR), also known as endpoint threat detection and response (ETDR), is a cybersecurity technology that continually monitors an "endpoint" (e.g. a client device such as a mobile phone, laptop, Internet of things device) to mitigate malicious cyber threats.

History 
In 2013, Anton Chuvakin of Gartner coined the term "endpoint threat detection and response" for "tools primarily focused on detecting and investigating suspicious activities (and traces of such) other problems on hosts/endpoints". Now, it is commonly known as "endpoint detection and response".

According to the Endpoint Detection and Response - Global Market Outlook (2017-2026) report, the adoption of cloud-based and on-premises EDR solutions are going to grow 26% annually, and will be valued at $7273.26 million by 2026. According to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cyber Security Market report by Zion Market Research, the role of machine learning and artificial intelligence will create a $30.9 billion cyber security market by 2025.

Concept 

Endpoint detection and response technology is used to identify suspicious behavior and advanced persistent threats on endpoints in an environment, and alert administrators accordingly. It does this by collecting and aggregating data from endpoints and other sources. That data may or may not be enriched by additional cloud analysis. EDR solutions are primarily an alerting tool rather than a protection layer but functions may be combined depending on the vendor. The data may be stored in a centralized database or forwarded to a SIEM tool for cyber monitoring.

Every EDR platform has its unique set of capabilities. However, some common capabilities include the monitoring of endpoints in both the online and offline mode, responding to threats in real-time, increasing visibility and transparency of user data, detecting stored endpoint events and malware injections, creating blocklists and allowlists, and integration with other technologies. Some vendors of EDR technologies leverage the free MITRE ATT&CK classification and framework for threats.

Gale J. Young. Gale J. Young (1912–1990) was an American engineer, mathematical physicist, biophysicist, and applied mathematician. He is known as a pioneer of nuclear engineering and as one of the namesakes of the Eckart-Young theorem in linear algebra.

Education and career
He graduated in 1933 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. At the University of Chicago he became in 1933 a graduate student in physics and received in 1936 a master's degree in mathematical physics. He continued to be affiliated with the University of Chicago until 1940 when he became the head of the physics and mathematics departments at Olivet College in Michigan. In early 1942 he returned to Chicago to work in Eugene Wigner's Theoretical Group developing nuclear reactors. Wigner claimed that Gale Young was his "main helper in 1942 in designing a nuclear pile cooled by water." From 1942 to 1946 Young was a research associate on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory (Met Lab). He later shared the patent for the design of water-cooled nuclear reactors. In 1946 he joined Wigner at the Clinton Laboratories, which was renamed Clinton National Laboratory in late 1947 and again renamed in January 1948 as Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In 1948 Young and John R. Menke (1919–2009) founded Nuclear Development Associates (NDA), Inc., the first privately owned nuclear firm. Menke was the president and Young was the research director. When NDA was taken over by the United Nuclear Company, Young remained with the company until 1962. In 1962 he returned to ORNL as an assistant laboratory director, working on non-military applications of nuclear energy, especially desalination of seawater.

MV Ampere. MV Ampere is the world's first battery electric car ferry, operating between Lavik and Oppedal in Norway. It is owned and operated by Norled, and crosses the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway.

History
MV Ampere is the world's first battery electric car ferry, developed and built in Norway. Its development was the result of a competition, launched by the country's Ministry of Transport and Communications in 2011, to develop an environmentally friendly ferry service between the two villages.

It is reported that she avoids the use of one million litres of diesel annually and offsets 570 t of carbon dioxide and 15 t of nitrogen oxide emissions compared to a conventional ferry on the same route.

Layout
MV Ampere has 260 ft twin hulls constructed from aluminum to minimise weight. She is propelled by Rolls-Royce Azipull thrusters, powered by two 450 kW electric motors with batteries. The 10 t lithium-ion batteries were developed by Corvus Energy and integrated by Siemens with an overall output of 1,000 kWh. They can be recharged in 10 minutes between crossings from high-capacity batteries at each port.

Other energy saving features are LED lighting, solar panels and air conditioning with a waste heat recovery system.

Service
MV Ampere operates the 5.7 km, 20 minute crossing between Lavik and Oppedal.
