Atlantic Flight (1931 film). Atlantic Flight (AKA Lo Stormo Atlantico) is a 1931 short documentary film made by the Regia Aeronautica Italiana, based on the pioneering 1930 transatlantic formation flight made by 12 Savoia-Marchetti S.55 flying boats, commanded by General Italo Balbo. Atlantic Flight is notable as the first Italian aviation film.

Synopsis
The film is a brief account of a very successful Italian aviation feat: the flight of a seaplane squadron led by General Italo Balbo, Minister of Aviation, from Italy to Brazil (December 1930-January 1931)from Orbetello Airfield, Italy to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 17 December 1930 and 15 January 1931. Italian Air Force cinematographers filmed the entire expedition, beginning with early preparations at Ortobello Airfield.

At Ortobello, the Italian aviators chosen for the flight, lined up in a seaplane hangar, singing a nationalistic song led by General Balbo, singing alongside other officers including General Valle and Lieutenant Colonel Maddalena.

After the takeoff, a typhoon forced some of the seaplanes to land on the Spanish coast, and find shelter in a Spanish port near Cartagena. The flight continues to the Strait of Gibraltar with its headlands, then onto a stretch of Mediterranean and African coast. On reaching Kenitra on the coast of French Morocco and after visiting the areas around Villa Cisneros, Western Sahara, and Bolama Bay, Balbo planned out the longest long-distance leg, from Bolama-Natal harbor up to Rio de Janeiro.

After successfully completing the transatlantic flight, the crews are feted by Benito Mussolini.

Cast
As appearing in screen titles:
 Italo Balbo 
 General Giuseppe Valle
 Lieutenant Colonel Umberto Maddalena

Production
Atlantic Flight was shot as a silent film and was released in Europe and the United States with Italian titles in the spring of 1931.

Reception
Aviation film historian Stephen Pendo in Aviation in the Cinema (1985) dismissed the film, despite its historical value, as a "routine, uninspired documentary". Aviation film historian Michael Paris in From the Wright Brothers to Top Gun: Aviation, Nationalism, and Popular Cinema (1995) shared a similar perspective on the film. "Although the flight itself was hailed in Italy as a 'modern epic', the cinematic version lacks drama and a proper sense of the achievement ..."

Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution. Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) is a space-based spectrometer designed to measure air pollution across greater North America at a high resolution and on an hourly basis. The ultraviolet–visible spectrometer will provide hourly data on ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde in the atmosphere.

TEMPO is a hosted payload on a commercial geostationary communication satellite with a constant view of North America. TEMPO's spectrometer measures reflected sunlight from the Earth's atmosphere and separates it into 2,000 component wavelengths. It will scan North America from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and from the Alberta oil sands to Mexico City. TEMPO will form part of a geostationary constellation of pollution-monitoring assets, along with the planned Sentinel-4 from ESA and Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) from South Korea's KARI.

On 3 February 2020, Intelsat announced that the Intelsat 40e satellite will host TEMPO. Maxar Technologies, the builder of the satellite, is responsible for payload integration. The launch occurred on 7 April 2023.

Earth Venture-Instrument program
TEMPO, which is a collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, is NASA's first Earth Venture-Instrument (EVI) mission. The EVI program is an element within the Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) program office, which is under NASA's Science Mission Directorate Earth Science Division (SMD/ESD). EVI's are a series of innovative "science-driven, competitively selected, low cost missions". The series of "Venture Class" missions were recommended in the 2007 publication Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond. "nnovative research and application missions that might address any area of Earth science" are selected through frequent "openly-competed solicitations".

Earth Venture missions are "small-sized competitively selected orbital missions and instrument missions of opportunity" and include NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT), ICESat-2, SAGE III on ISS, Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow On (GRACE-FO), Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), and the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation lidar (GEDI).

Cybertechnology. Cybertechnology is a supplement published by FASA in 1995 for the dystopian near-future cyberpunk role-playing game Shadowrun.

Contents
Cybertechnology details new high-tech cyberware weaponry that can be implanted into Shadowrun characters. The book also covers the revolutionary technique known as Cybermancy, which allows characters to survive having negative Essence ratings.

Publication history
Cybertechnology was written by Tom Dowd, Carl Sargent, Diane Piron-Gelman, and Michael Mulvihill.

Reception
In the December 1995 edition of Arcane (Issue 1), Andy Butcher was ambivalent about the book, saying, "Cybertechnology isn't a bad book – it's well written, and provides potentially useful insights and information about cyberware in Shadowrun. Anyone looking for the equivalent of Cyberpunk 2020'''s Chromebooks, though, will be disappointed."

In the February 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue 226), Rick Swan thought that "Cybertechnology wastes a lot of space on lame commentary" and believed it was not as good a value as the similarly themed Hardware/Software supplement written for Shatterzone.

A Manufacturing Language. A Manufacturing Language (AML) is a robot programming language created by IBM in the 1970s and 80s, for its RS 1 robot and other robots in its Robot Manufacturing System product line.
The  systems were used in factory automation by customers such as Plessey and Northern Telecom.  They are no longer listed as available from IBM, but robots and parts can occasionally be found in used condition on auction sites, and are refurbished by hobbyists.

AML/2, AML/E, AML/V, and AML/X are versions and derivatives of AML.

AML programs can call subroutines written in AML, C, or FORTRAN.  Programs are coded off-line, and can be tested with an off-line simulator.  Prior to execution on the robot, they are uploaded to RAM residing in the robot's control unit.

Fiat A.82. The Fiat A.82 was an air cooled radial engine with 18 cylinders developed by the Italian engineering company Fiat and produced in small numbers during World War II. It was one of the most powerful aircraft engines produced in Italy and the culmination of series of successively larger engines developed from the A.74. It was used as the power plant for one operational aircraft, the Fiat BR.20bis bomber.

Design and development
First run in 1938, the A.82 was a more powerful development of the A.80, itself derived from the A.74, which powered the Breda Ba.65 and Fiat BR.20. It was claimed to be 50% more powerful than its antecedents and one of the most powerful engines produced by the country. It was the largest Italian engine design of the time.

The A.82 was an 18-cylinder radial, consisting of two rows of nine cylinders arranged in a double star with a triple throw crankcase made of aluminium alloy. Each cylinder had the same bore as the A.40 at  but an increased stroke of . They had steel barrels and aluminium alloy heads. Fuel was mixed in a Zenith-Stromberg downdraught carburettor.

The engine was produced in two versions, the RC.40 of  and the RC.42 of , and saw limited operational service. In addition to the fifteen Fiat BR.20bis operated by the Regia Aeronautica, Fiat also used the engine to power design studies like their BR.26 torpedo bomber.
