Monobutyl phthalate. Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) is an organic compound with the condensed structural formula CH3(CH2)3OOCC6H4COOH.  It is a white solid that features both an butyl ester group and a carboxylic acid group. It is the major metabolite of dibutyl phthalate. Like many phthalates, MBP has attracted attention as a potential endocrine disruptor.

MBP is also the secondary metabolite of butyl benzyl phthalate, less than monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP).  It hydrolyses to phthalic acid and 1-butanol.

TT Technologies. TT Technologies is a construction equipment manufacturer producing microtunneling and trenchless products.

TTT was founded in 1991, and is based in Aurora, Illinois.

The company received an innovative product award from the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) in December 2015 for a mini directional drill called the Grundopit K-keyhole.

The company has been noted for several innovations in low environmental impact tunneling techniques and technology.  In 2015, TTT received the 2015 NASTT innovative product award for their minimally-invasive trenchless steerable microtunnel boring technology.
In 2018, TT Technology equipment was used to set a North American record for pipe bursting technology when a -diameter sewer pipe was replaced in an environmentally sensitive area of Maple Ridge, British Columbia with a much larger -diameter pipe, without disturbing the ground surface.

Amos Storkey. Amos James Storkey (born 1971) is Professor of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh.

Storkey studied mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge and obtained his doctorate from Imperial College, London. In 1997 during his PhD, he worked on the Hopfield Network a form of recurrent artificial neural network popularized by John Hopfield in 1982. Hopfield nets serve as content-addressable ("associative") memory systems with binary threshold nodes and Storkey developed what became known as the "Storkey Learning Rule".

Subsequently, he has worked on approximate Bayesian methods, machine learning in astronomy, graphical models, inference and sampling, and neural networks. 
Storkey joined the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh in 1999, was Microsoft Research Fellow from 2003 to 2004, appointed as reader in 2012, and to a personal chair in 2018. He is currently a Member of Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation, Director of CDT in Data Science [2014-22] leading the Bayesian and Neural Systems Group. In December 2014, Clark and Storkey together published an innovative paper "Teaching Deep Convolutional Neural Networks to Play Go". Convolutional neural network (CNN, or ConvNet) is a class of deep neural networks, most commonly applied to analyzing visual imagery. Their paper showed that a Convolutional Neural Network trained by supervised learning from a database of human professional games could outperform GNU Go and win some games against Monte Carlo tree search Fuego 1.1 in a fraction of the time it took Fuego to play.

PHOOL. Phool.co is an Indian biomaterials startup co-founded by Ankit Agarwal and Prateek Kumar in 2017 to collect temple flower waste dumped in rivers in Kanpur. It use flowers from temples across India's and create useful products such as rose incense cone, Phool vermicompost. Phool is a brand owned by Kanpur Flowercyling Pvt. Ltd founded in 2017, till now 11,060 metric tonnes of temple waste is recycled. The company has recently been split into the companies HelpUsGreen and Phool.

History 
An idea of recycling flowers started when Ankit Agarwal and Prateek Kumar visited Ghats of River Ganga and realized the danger of temple flowers containing pesticides and insecticides. They planned to meet temple waste management and pitch their idea of recycling flowers. After a year and half of research product like incense cone and vermicompost started.

Products 
Florafoam is a product which is completely decomposable in environment after its use and purely made of flowers. It is alternative to thermacol which takes years to decompose. Florafoam chosen in Amazon stores India.

Hydrous oxide. Hydrous oxides are inorganic compounds of a metal, hydroxide, and weakly bound water. Some examples include:
 Hydrous ferric oxide (HFO)
 Hydrous cupric oxide
 Hydrous thorium oxide (THO) and hydrous titanium oxide (TiHO) 
 Hydrous aluminum oxide (HAO)
Some of them, such as HFO and HAO, are precipitated in highly porous poorly crystalline or amorphous forms and therefore are good adsorbents used for example in water treatment.

Some others are gels.

Hydrous oxide films may be used an various applications such as electrocatalysis, supercapacitors, and sensors.

HFO and HAO may also result from oxidative weathering of rocks to produce iron an aluminum hydrous oxide clay soils.

IBM 3505. The IBM 3505 is a reader for 80-column punched cards. It can read cards punched in EBCDIC or column binary at up to 1200 cards per minute (CPM). The IBM 3525 is a multi-function punched card device, capable of reading, punching, and printing on punched cards. The 3505 contains an integrated control unit that attaches to a System/370 byte multiplexer, selector, or block multiplexer channel. An optional feature of the 3505 allows the control unit to also control a 3525, although the two are separately-addressed devices.

The 3505/3525 units attach to a System/370 Model 135 and up, or to a System/360 Model 195.

The 3505 and 3525 were developed at the IBM General Systems Division in Rochester, Minnesota in 1971.

3505

The 3505 is a card reader and controller for optional 3525. 

The 3505 features a 3000-card input hopper and two 1750-card output stackers. When one stacker becomes full the reader automatically switches to the other, if available, to allow the operator to unload the cards without stopping the machine. A third stacker was available as an option. Cards are read optically. The 3505 model B1 reads cards at up to 1200 CPM, the B2 at up to 800 CPM. 

An optional feature of the 3505 was available to allow the 3505 to read optically-marked cards. The "read column eliminate" option allows the reader to ignore data punched in selected columns, including data that would normally cause an error.

3525

The 3525 attaches to a computer through a control unit in the 3505. 

It has an input hopper with a capacity of 1200 cards, and two output stackers, each holding up to 1200 cards. Cards may be selected into either stacker under program control. A full stacker stops the punch, awaiting operator intervention. A third stacker, the "reject stacker", receives cards that were punched incorrectly. The reject stacker holds up to 200 cards. The 3525 model P1 punches at 100 CPM, the P2 at 200 CPM, and the P3 at 300 CPM.

Optionally, the 3525 has a read feature that can read cards prior to punching. An optional print feature allows the 3525 to print on cards following reading or punching. Up to 25 lines of 64 characters can be printed, using an interchangeable 64-character set.

Hunter Passage 450. The Hunter Passage 450 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a cruiser and first built in 1996.

Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Hunter Passage 450 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of  hand-laid polyester and vinylester resin fiberglass, with a deck made from a fiberglass and marine plywood sandwich and Baltek end-grain balsa core hull above the waterline. It has a masthead sloop B&R rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and folding ladder, an oval-shaped center cockpit, a fiberglass mainsheet arch, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard wing keel with a weighted bulb. It is fitted with a Swedish Volvo or Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of . The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

Standard equipment includes dual staterooms, with private heads and a transom hot and cold water shower. Air conditioning, a clothing washer and drier, a bathtub, and in-mast furling mainsail were factory options. The below decks headroom is . The design has Community of Europe certification for "unlimited offshore use".

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
Reviewer Quentin Warren, writing for Cruising World in 2002 praised the design's accommodations. He wrote: "This boat is comfortable to be aboard, light and airy, easy to handle from the cockpit, big on tankage, chockablock with amenities and perks - it’s no surprise that people are queued well down boat-show docks for the obligatory look-see. It isn’t traditional or classic or reserved; rather it’s a showcase of modern thinking with liveaboard focus."
