John Hollway. John M. Hollway (1841 – 1907) was an English metallurgist and chemist who, in the 1870s, unsuccessfully tried out smelting and refining of copper using a converter based on the Bessemer process.

Although his attempts failed, conceding to the French engineers Pierre Manhès and , the honor of the invention of the Manhès-David process in 1880, the abundant communication he made on his failures constitute a significant contribution to the development and perfecting their process.

Heinz Kilfitt. Heinz Kilfitt was born on 29 May 1898 in Hörntrop-Wattenscheid, Germany; he died on 11 August 1980 in Munich, Germany. He is probably best known for the design of the spring driven 35mm Robot still cameras taking 24×24mm frames on 135 film as well as being a lens maker, renowned for the Macro-Kilars and the manufacture of the Voigtländer Zoomar that was designed by Frank Gerhardt Back (1902-1981).

He was the son of a watchmaker and christened Heinrich Wilhelm Kilfitt. He spent his early youth repairing watches and taking an interest in optics and photography. At the optical company R. Neumann in Berlin he was hired as the head of the Photography department. Combining his watch repair and photography skills he designed the spring driven Robot camera for H. H. Berning in 1930 for fast series of single frame photographs. In the early 1950s he conceived the very compact 35mm SLR Mecaflex camera to be manufactured by Metz Apparatefabik in Fürth, Germany. In 1964 he established the Kilfitt Optische Fabrik in Munich.

Maya AUV India. Maya AUV is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), developed by the Marine Instrumentation Division at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), India.

Description

The Maya AUV belongs to a class of small autonomous underwater vehicles that have been gaining popularity in marine application areas such as oceanography, monitoring the coastal environment, as well as in naval applications such as mapping of naval mines for mine countermeasures.

The vehicle has an endurance of 7.2 hours, a total length of approximately 1.7 m, a diameter of 0.234 m with a slender-ellipsoid nose that is free-flooding and houses scientific payloads. The nose-cone is designed to be swappable to use alternate scientific sensors depending upon the application. The main pressurized hull of the AUV is rated to 200m depth operations and houses the electronics, navigation sensors, batteries as well as the actuators for the rudders and fins. The AUV is propelled by a single rear thruster in the aft section which also houses a mast for the GPS and communication antennae. Navigation sensors include a Doppler Velocity Log and a MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit. The vehicle weighs approximately 54 kg in air, with the main hull built from an aluminum alloy. It is powered by lithium polymer batteries and has a nominal speed of 1.5 m/s.

Development
The development of Maya was jointly funded by NIO and the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, New Delhi, India (known as the Department of Information Technology before 2012). The AUV's development began in 2003, completed horizontal plane tests in May 2005, with the first set of dive missions tested on May 12, 2006, making it India's first indigenously developed AUV for scientific applications.

Part of the Maya AUV development was done under the scope of an Indo-Portuguese collaboration that aimed to build and test the joint operation of two AUVs for marine science applications via AdI Portugal (MAYASub project). Sensors used in the Maya AUV include Aanderaa dissolved oxygen sensor, WetLabs chlorophyll and turbidity sensors, RBR CTD (instrument) and a TRIOS "hyper spectral radiometers". The AUV uses standard LQ controllers for control in the horizontal and vertical planes.

Afon Cefni (1892 ship). Afon Cefni was an iron, four-masted barque. She was named after Afon Cefni, one of the rivers of Anglesey. Her sister ship was , also named after an Anglesey river. Like Afon Alaw, Afon Cefni was built in Glasgow, Scotland by A. Stephens & Sons for Hughes & Co from Menai Bridge, Anglesey.

The ship's career, however, was not long. In January 1894 it was en route to San Francisco from Swansea when it was lost with all crew. Later, pieces of the ship washed up on the Cornish and Sussex coasts.

Description
Afon Cefni was a four-masted barque of . The vessel measured  long between perpendiculars with a beam of . A newspaper account from the period states the ship as having been measured at  with a capacity for  of cargo. On Afon Cefnis final voyage, the ship had a draught of .

Service history
The barque was constructed by A. Stephens & Sons at their yard in Glasgow, Scotland on behalf of Hughes & Co with the yard number 339. The vessel was launched on 10 March 1892 and completed in April of that year. The ship was registered in Liverpool. Named Afon Cefni for the river in Anglesey, the barque had a short career.

On 5 January 1894, Afon Cefni departed Swansea, Wales for San Francisco, California. The vessel was last seen off Lundy and was not heard from again. From 20 January to 5 February pieces of wreckage from the ship were collected along the Cornish and Sussex coasts. The identity of the wreckage was ascertained when a lifebuoy bearing Afon Cefnis name washed up on the Sussex coast.

Sikorsky S-7. The Sikorsky S-7 was a Russian single engine experimental prototype aircraft built by the Russian Baltic Railroad Car Works shortly after Igor Sikorsky became chief engineer of the aircraft manufacturing division.

Design and development
The S-7 was two-seater wire-braced monoplane powered by a  Gnome air-cooled rotary engine. Construction began in early summer of 1912 and completed in July. The pilot sat in the rear cockpit with a passenger seated in a forward compartment in a tandem arrangement. The fuselage was enclosed in plywood and the aircraft used components taken from the S-6A including the main wing, tail and landing gear.

Operational history
The S-7 was entered in the international military competition at Saint Petersburg in August 1912. During a take-off attempt from a furrowed field the landing gear was severely damaged and the S-7 was unable to finish the completion. In 1913 the aircraft was repaired and served as a trainer. In 1914 Bulgaria purchased the S-7 and used it in operations during World War I.
