Innocenti 186 GT. The Innocenti 186 GT is a sports car jointly developed by Italian car manufacturers Innocenti and Ferrari in 1963–64, but never put into production. Just two prototypes were ever built, and one survives today.

History

In 1960 Innocenti—whose main products were machinery and the successful Lambretta motor scooter—had entered the car industry, beginning assembly of British Motor Corporation models in its Lambrate factory. Founder Ferdinando Innocenti desired to expand his automotive operations introducing a small grand tourer, and related his idea to Enzo Ferrari.
In 1963 this materialised in form of an agreement between the two car manufacturers: Ferrari would design a coupé with a V6 engine—fundamentally half of a Ferrari V12.
An engineering team was put together in Maranello, overseen by Innocenti's technical director Sandro Colombo assisted by Innocenti engineers, and composed by Ferrari personnel—including engine designer Franco Rocchi.

The 186 GT was powered by a , 12-valve, single overhead cam 60° V6 (bore and stroke 77×64 mm), producing  at 7,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a British-derived 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive on third and fourth gear. The chassis was, in Ferrari tradition, a steel tube frame with separate body, using front double wishbone suspension, and a rear live axle on leaf springs with reaction arms. There were disc brakes on all four corners, and Borrani wire wheels fitted with 175×14" Pirelli Cinturato tyres.

A prototype chassis was rapidly built and delivered to the Turinese design house Bertone, which was tasked with design and eventually production of the bodyshell. There Giorgetto Giugiaro (then employed by Bertone) designed a 2+2 fastback coupé, and the first car was completed with part-aluminium coachwork.
While the first example underwent some tests on Innocenti's Lambrate factory track, Colombo and the other Innocenti engineers involved in the project worked with Bertone on another, unibody version of the car. A unibody prototype was built, and was set to be the production version.
Ultimately in 1964 the whole project was halted, when almost ready for series production. Sandro Colombo proposes two reasons for this decision. One is the Innocenti car sales network, too little developed and not adequate for the distribution of such an upscale vehicle—still depending as it was on many Lambretta motorcycle dealers. The other is the Italian recession of 1964–65, a less than ideal conjuncture to launch an expensive GT car aimed at affluent buyers.
Of the two prototypes, one was destroyed, while the other remained in storage at an Innocenti facility. When the building was demolished in 1994 following Fiat's acquisition of Innocenti, the surviving 186 GT was rescued by Maserati historian Ermanno Cozza. In 2015 it was part of an exhibition at the Museo Ferrari in Maranello.

Brahmapuram Diesel Power Plant. Brahmapuram Diesel Power Plant is a 106.6 MW public sector power station in Kochi, India run by the Kerala State Electricity Board, commissioned in 1997. It is controlled by Kerala load Distribution Center(KLDC).

Overview
The plant is based on large-bore 4 stroke diesel engines from MAN B&W, Germany. The plant has a total of five machines with capacity to generate 21.32 MW power each. Though the station is still known as diesel power plant, it has  been using low sulphur heavy stock (LSHS) -- a residual fuel processed from indigenous crude, provided by IOC—in place of diesel. LSHS is in semisolid form. It is heated by steam to make it liquid form. When melts it becomes the same form of diesel. The transfer of diesel to LSHS is done by a three valve mechanism(first diesel, then a mixture of diesel and LSHS, then LSHS).
Number of Cylinders : 18
Cylinder configuration : V type
Engine capacity : 18000 cc/cylinder
Engine power : 30,000 bhp
Fuel used : Diesel (for starting), LSHS(low sulphur heavy stock)

Electrical section
The engine is coupled with an alternator. The alternator consists of a stator and a rotor and the entire assembly is under one case. Switchgear of 220 kV, 25000 A is used to control the supply. Then the load is reduced to 11 kV for transmission, with the help of step down transformers

It uses direct current for all its applications (easy to store). The cost of power production at the existing diesel plant at Brahmapuram is Rs. 13 per kWh, considering the cost the three machines are operated only when it is absolutely necessary. The power produced from here is connected to the KSEB grid and supplied to the consumers in the state of Kerala.

Expansion
The Kerala State Electricity Board has decided to set up a 400MW combined cycle power generation facility on the premises of the existing power plant at Brahmapuram, using natural gas as the feedstock. GAIL will be supplying LNG for the new power plant from the Petronet LNG Terminal. The power plant is likely to be completed by early 2017.

CIAL Solar Power Project. The CIAL Solar Power Project is a 50 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station built at Cochin International Airport, India, by the company Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL). Cochin International Airport became the first fully solar powered airport in the world with the commissioning the plant.

Overview
The plant comprises 92,150 solar panels laid across 94 acres near the international cargo complex. The plant has been installed and commissioned by the India-based Ammini Group. It is capable of generating 100,000 units of electricity daily, and is equipped with a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), through which remote monitoring is carried out and the project valued around Rs. 260 Crores (2016). The project components include PV modules of 265Wp capacity manufactured by Ammini Solar, and inverters of 1MW capacity manufactured by ABB
It is coupled with a 2.1 MW solar plant that was commissioned in 2013. This plant was installed by Ammini Solar Private Limited. 8000 numbers of monocrystalline modules of 250Wp with thirty three numbers of 60 kW capacity Delta make string inverters were used in this plant, which is the first Megawatt scale installation of Solar PV system in the State of Kerala.

The plant system is without any battery storage as it is directly connected to the KSEB grid. CIAL gives as much power as it produces (during the day time) to the grid, and buys back the power from them as needed, especially at night.

Expansion
CIAL has decided to double the installed capacity of solar power generation. Another 10,000 panels would be installed in the remaining space to generate an additional 2.40 MW power. Panels to be installed atop the building and the new park would help generate 4 MW and another 7 MW through panels to be installed over the three km-long irrigation canal would take the total installed capacity to 26.50 MW. On 12 December 2020 a 5.1 MW Solar Carport was inaugurated along with the revamped T2 terminal, making it the largest solar carport in  an airport. This addition also took the total capacity to 80 MW.

Environmental impact
This green power project will not result in any carbon dioxide emissions over the next 25 years. It will produce a clean source of energy equivalent to energy produced from coal-fired power plants burning more than 3 lakh metric tonnes of coal. This plant also provides a carbon offset equivalent of planting 30 lakh trees. CIAL sets an example by effectively utilizing the buffer zone area.

Egbert Hambley. Egbert Barry Cornwall Hambley (2 May 1862 – 13 August 1906) was a British-born mining engineer and power company executive, who worked for much of his career in North Carolina.

Early life and education
Egbert Hambley was born in Penzance, Cornwall, the son of James Hambley (a civil engineer) and Ellen Read Hambley. He was educated at Trevath House School and the Royal School of Mines.

Career
Hambley spent three years as a young man helping to run the Gold Hill gold mines in Rowan County, North Carolina, 1881–1884. After that job, he changed engineering firms, working for John Taylor & Sons at mines around the world, from Mexico to South Africa, from India to Norway. In 1887, he was back in North Carolina, as a consulting engineer, working for British interests in the state. He was managing director of the Sam Christian Hydraulic Company, and founded the Salisbury Gas and Electric Light Company.

He partnered with George I. Whitney of Pittsburgh to form the Whitney Reduction Company, which had projects in several American states; the centrepiece of their efforts was a planned hydroelectric plant on the Yadkin River, with a model town called "Whitney." Hambley's sudden death and construction delays meant the project was abandoned and the Whitney Reduction Company was dissolved by 1910. Their Yadkin dam project was taken over by a predecessor of Alcoa Power Generating Inc. and completed by Alcoa some years later at nearby Badin, North Carolina.

Hambley also owned several granite quarries in North Carolina, which he hoped to develop into a large-scale commercial venture. He was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of London in 1890.

Personal life
Egbert Hambley married Charlotte "Lottie" Clark Coleman, from a prominent North Carolina family, in 1887. They were married by the Rev. Samuel Rothrock, who was Charlotte's Uncle. They lived on a farm, where Egbert Hambley raised prize Jersey cows as a side interest. After 1903 they lived in an "unusually handsome" large house in Salisbury, North Carolina, and had five children together before Egbert Hambley died suddenly from typhoid in 1906, aged 44 years. His death was pronounced "a grief to the whole South," by the Charlotte Observer, "for which section he was doing more than any living man."

A small collection of his papers is archived in the library at Pfeiffer University.

JCSAT-3. JCSAT-3 was a geostationary communications satellite designed and manufactured by Hughes (now Boeing) on the HS-601 satellite bus. It was originally ordered by JSAT Corporation, which later merged into the SKY Perfect JSAT Group. It has a mixed Ku-band and C-band payload and operated on the 128° East longitude until it was replaced by JCSAT-3A.

Satellite description 
The spacecraft was designed and manufactured by Hughes on the HS-601 satellite bus. It had a launch mass of , a dry mass of  and a 12-year design life. When stowed for launch, its dimensions were . With its solar panels fully extended it spanned , and its width when its antennas were fully deployed was . Its power system generated approximately 5 kW of power thanks to two wings with four solar panels each. It also had a single NiH2 battery composed of 30 cells and a 200 Ah charge. It would serve as the main satellite on the 128° East longitude position of the JSAT fleet.

Its propulsion system was composed of an R-4D-11-300 liquid apogee engine (LAE) with a thrust of . It also used had 12  bipropellant thrusters for station keeping and attitude control. It included enough propellant for orbit circularization and 12 years of operation.

Its payload is composed of four octagonal antenna fed by twelve 36 MHz and sixteen 27 MHz Ku-band plus twelve 27 MHz C-band transponders for a total bandwidth of 1296 MHz. The Ku-band transponders have a TWTA output power of 63 watts while the twelve C-band transponders have 34 watts of power.

History 
In 1993, Japan Communications Satellite Company and Satellite Japan Corporation merged to form Japan Satellite Systems Inc. (JCSAT). That same year, JCSAT ordered JCSAT-3, a third satellite from Hughes, but this time using the HS-601 platform. In 1995, JCSAT obtained a license for international service, and thus became a regional operator.

On 29 August 1995 at 00:53:02 UTC, an Atlas IIAS launching from Cape Canaveral LC-36B successfully launched JCSAT-3 into orbit. It was positioned into the 128° East orbital longitude.

On 20 April 2004, JSAT ordered a second satellite from Lockheed Martin, JCSAT-10. Based on the A2100-AX satellite bus, it would have a C-band and Ku-band payload and was expected to replace JCSAT-3 at the 128° East orbital longitude after its planned 2006 launch. On 11 August 2006, an Ariane 5 ECA launched JCSAT-10 (JCSAT-3A) along Syracuse-3B into a transfer orbit. Upon successful deployment at 128° East longitude, it was renamed JCSAT-3A. In March 2007, JCSAT-3 was retired and decommissioned.

4-Vinylbenzyl chloride. 4-Vinylbenzyl chloride is an organic compound with the formula ClCH2C6H4CH=CH2.  It is a bifunctional molecule, featuring both vinyl and a benzylic chloride functional groups.  It is a colorless liquid that is typically stored with a stabilizer to suppress polymerization.

In combination with styrene, vinylbenzyl chloride is used as a comonomer in the production of chloromethylated polystyrene.  It is produced by the chlorination of vinyltoluene. Often vinyltoluene consists of a mixture of 3- and 4-vinyl isomers, in which case the vinylbenzyl chloride will also be produced as a mixture of isomers.

Ira Williams. Ira Williams (1894–1977) was an American chemist at DuPont's Jackson Laboratory in New Jersey, who in the summer of 1930, together with Wallace Carothers, Arnold Collins and F. B. Downing, made commercial Neoprene possible by producing a soft, plastic form of chloroprene that could be processed by the rubber industry.  Early accounts of the development credited Julius Nieuwland with synthesizing the precursor divinylacetylene.  Williams' contribution was the discovery that the rheological behavior of the product could be controlled by quenching the polymerization reaction with alcohol.

He won the 1946 Charles Goodyear Medal.
