40 Tenth Avenue. 40 Tenth Avenue (originally referred to as Solar Carve) is an office building in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan in New York City.  The structure is adjacent to the High Line.

Planning and development
The building was first proposed in 2012, with designs released to the public then. Plans were later approved in 2014. Construction began in 2017 Advanced by Cauldwell Wingate Company and the project received $120 million in construction financing from Bank OZK in September 2017. The building topped out in early 2018 and was completed in late 2018, with the first tenants expected to move in to the building in March 2019.

Hyundai's luxury car brand Genesis signed a lease for all  of retail space in the building in December 2017. In March 2019, Starwood Capital Group signed a lease for the building's eighth floor.

Design and reception
40 Tenth Avenue is Studio Gang's first commission in New York. The building features a chiseled, diamond-shaped curtain wall that was engineered to eliminate shadows cast onto the adjacent High Line park. Additionally, the facade allegedly minimized heat gain, reduced glare for drivers on the West Side Highway, and discouraged migratory birds strikes. The 12-story building includes  of outdoor space and  high ceilings. 

Justin Davidson, writing for New York, referred to the structure as "...one of the most exciting chapters in the future of the High Line." Similarly, Architectural Digest named the building one of their "14 Most Anticipated Buildings of 2019".

USS Richard M. McCool Jr.. USS Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD-29) is the 13th and final Flight I  of the United States Navy. She is named after US Navy officer and Medal of Honor recipient Richard M. McCool, Jr. Richard M. McCool Jr. was built by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was christened on 11 June 2022, formally delivered to the US Navy on 11 April 2024,  and commissioned on 7 September 2024.

Design
Like her immediate predecessor, , Richard M. McCool Jr. was designed be a "transitional ship" between the current San Antonio-class Flight I design and future Flight II vessels, starting with , and as such will feature design improvements developed in connection with the Navy's development of the LX(R)-class amphibious warfare ship, (which is intended to replace the current  and  dock landing ships). Richard M. McCool Jr. incorporates the changes that were introduced in Fort Lauderdale intended to reduce the cost compared to the San Antonio-class, including: simplified bow works, replacement of the forward and aft composite masts with steel masts, removal of structures from the boat valley, and a stern gate which is open at the top. In addition, unlike Fort Lauderdale, Richard M. McCool Jr. uses the Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) volume air search radar.

Alvéole Lab. Alvéole is a French company based in Paris and founded in 2010 by Quattrocento, a business accelerator company in the life science field, in collaboration with researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research with expertise in bioengineering and cell imaging.

Alvéole is specialized in the development of devices for controlling microenvironment in vitro. Its first product is Primo, a contactless and maskless photopatterning device allowing researchers to control the topography (via microfabrication) and biochemistry (via micropatterning) of cell microenvironment.

Products 
Alvéole's first product is Primo, a photopatterning device which can be docked on standard inverted microscopes. Primo photopatterning technique is based on LIMAP technology and combines a maskless and contactless photolithography system controlled by a dedicated software (Leonardo) and a specific photo-initiator. This system modulate UV-light illumination through an array of micromirrors (digital micromirror device). The UV light is then projected through the objective of the microscope onto the substrate in order to either perform microfabrication or protein micropatterning.

- Microfabrication: The modulated UV light is projected on a photosensitive resist. The cured photoresist can then be used as a mold to deposit PDMS and generate microstructured PDMS chips.

- Protein micropatterning: The modulated UV light is projected onto a standard cell culture substrate previously coated with an anti-fouling polymer and reacts with the photo-initiator to locally degrade this coating. Adhesion proteins can then be adsorbed on the illuminated area only, allowing for the creation of proteins micropatterns on which cells can adhere.

Applications 
By micropatterning adhesions proteins with a sub-cellular resolution, Primo enables to control cell adhesion and isolate single cells under highly reproducible conditions. This allows cell biology researchers from various fields – such as mechanobiology, toxicology, immunology, oncology or neurosciences – to control or study intracellular mechanisms or screen the effect of molecules on cell functions.

On a larger scale, Primo also makes it possible to control complex cellular arrangements, to study cell migration, axon guidance.

Furthermore, the micropatterning process with Primo can be performed on microstructures' sides, top or bottom, making it possible to confine single cells or multicellular arrangements in three-dimension.

One last known possible application is the photopolymerization of photo-sensitive materials, such as resins for microfabrication or photosensitive hydrogel to include rheological cues in cell microenvironment or to create permeable membranes in microfluidic channels.

Pearson's Coupling. Pearson's Coupling was a safety relevant improvement for connecting the hoses of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company between railway carriages.

History
If a train was accidentally divided, the drawing apart of the hose pipes would cause the brakes to be applied on both sections of the severed train. However, in shunting operations, it was necessary to have an arrangement by which the carriages may be disconnected when required, without the application of the brakes. Thus, a train-cock was installed at each end of the carriage where the hose-pipes were attached. If the hose-pipes were disconnected, and the train-cocks left open, the brakes were applied throughout the train. Therefore, train-cocks had to be provided.

The not infrequent forgetfulness of a shunter to open the train-cocks after coupling-up the hose-pipes has caused accidents in the past. A further risk in connection with these cocks lied in the fact that they could be tampered with by passengers. Out of eleven accidents in New Zealand, eight have been the result of somebody's negligence in leaving train-cocks closed.

In Pearson's invention the cocks are necessarily closed and the levers engaged by the lugs, before the heads could be coupled together. The action of turning the heads upon one another, while the levers were engaged by the lugs caused the cocks to open, because the ports of the plugs registered with the ports in the cocks, leaving the brakes in a condition ready to be applied. The heads could not be uncoupled in the ordinary way without the operations being reversed and the cocks left open. If the heads were accidentally pulled apart, as by the severance of a train, the cocks remained open, and the brakes were thereby applied.

Colin McLeod (engineer). Norman Colin McLeod  (5 August 1921 – 6 April 2018) was a New Zealand civil engineer, who served as the Commissioner of Works between 1973 and 1981.

Early life and education
McLeod was born in Auckland on 5 August 1921, the son of Norman John Murdoch McLeod, also an engineer, and Eva Mary McLeod (née Ringrose). Raised in the Wellington suburb of Karori, he was educated at Wellington College, and went on to study civil engineering at Canterbury University College, graduating BE in 1942.

Early career and military service
Following graduation, McLeod initially worked in the Public Works Department, designing coastal defences. In April 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Corps of New Zealand Engineers, but was decommissioned and sent overseas in January 1944 as a sapper, serving in Italy. He was again commissioned as a second lieutenant in February 1945, and served as adjutant to Brigadier Fred Hanson. In March 1946, he went to Japan with the 5th Engineer Company as part of J Force.

Post-war family and career
Returning to New Zealand in September 1946, he married Ella Margaret McEwan, and the couple went on to have three children.

McLeod resumed his career with the Ministry of Works, and in 1949 moved to Mangakino, where he rose to become the project engineer for construction of the Waikato River dams. In 1962, McLeod became district commissioner of works in Wanganui. and then, from 1964 to 1966, district commissioner of Works in Hamilton. After an Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship in the United States in 1966, McLeod served as director of the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority from 1966 to 1971. He was appointed Commissioner of Works, succeeding Jim Macky, in 1973, and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1981, when he was succeeded by Jack Chesterman. In the 1981 Queen's Birthday Honours, McLeod was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, in recognition of his service as commissioner.

Later life and death
McLeod's wife, Ella, was active in community activities, including 15 years as a member of the Wellington Hospital Board from 1974 to 1989. In the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours, she was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for community service. She died on 20 June 2011.

Colin McLeod died in Wellington on 6 April 2018.

Mix (build tool). Mix is a build automation tool for working with applications written in the Elixir programming language. Mix was created in 2012 by Anthony Grimes, who took inspiration from Clojure's Leiningen. Soon after, Mix was merged into the Elixir programming language itself and to this day is one of the six applications that are part of the Elixir language. Mix provides functionality for creating, compiling, and testing Elixir source code and for managing dependencies and deploying Elixir applications.

Mix tasks  
Mix provides tasks to create, clean, build, compile, run, and test Elixir applications. For example, Mix may be used to create a new Elixir project, such as a new hello_world application. Running mix new hello_world will result in

$ mix new hello_world
* creating README.md
* creating .formatter.exs
* creating .gitignore
* creating mix.exs
* creating config
* creating config/config.exs
* creating lib
* creating lib/hello_world.ex
* creating test
* creating test/test_helper.exs
* creating test/hello_world_test.exs

Your Mix project was created successfully.
You can use "mix" to compile it, test it, and more:

    cd hello_world
    mix test

Run "mix help" for more commands.

Mix projects  
Mix uses the information defined in a Mix Project to compile, build, and assemble the application. By convention, this information is typically managed in an Elixir script file named mix.exs. The file may include version information, dependencies, and other configuration information.

Application  
As the Elixir build tool, Mix is used on applications that target the Erlang virtual machine (as opposed to the Java virtual machine or the .NET Common Language Runtime). Mix is used with web applications built on the Phoenix framework.

Quasi-Arc Company. The Quasi-Arc Company was a provider of arc welding equipment and consumables.

The company was founded around 1911 by William Lawes Cole, Arthur P. Strohmenger and C. H. Champness. Its head office was in Grosvenor Gardens, London. The factory was initially in Mile End, London, and in 1939 one opened in Bilston.

The Fullagar, the world's first fully welded ocean-going vessel, was built from 1917 to 1920 using the Quaisi-Arc system at the Cammell, Laird & Company shipyard in Birkenhead.

In 1930 the company was bought by Turner and Newall. In 1932 it supplied electrodes made from blue asbestos. The asbestos covered electrodes were easy to use, and thus the Quasi-Arc Company influenced the development and practical applications of arc welding. In its own welding school it educated users how to weld with them. In 1959 it was taken over by the Electric Welding Division of the British Oxygen Company (BOC). In 1961 it produced and sold electrodes, equipment and installations for manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic arc welding. In 1968 the Bilston plant was closed and production concentrated at Waltham Cross.

Arado E.500. The Arado E.500 was a concept for a heavy fighter created by Arado Flugzeugwerke in 1936.

Description
Due to a relatively short fuselage and an extended twin tail boom this aircraft type could accommodate a heavy attack and defense armament. The latter consisted of two revolving turrets on the upper and lower fuselage, each equipped with two 20 mm guns. The upper turret would be manually operated by a gunner, while the second gunner, located on the fuselage underside in a trough, aimed it via a periscope installation. The third gunner operated the fixed weapons in the nose of the machine. It had a twin tail.

Arado developed a 1:1 mock-up; however, it did not find the interest of the Technical Office of the Ministry of Aviation. The project was subsequently discontinued.

VAL 208. The VAL 208 is one of the VAL series, an automated guideway transit system developed by Matra and Siemens. The vehicles are manufactured at Siemens SGP (Simmering-Graz-Pauker) in Vienna, Austria.

It has been adopted by multiple railway operators since 2000.

The number 208 in the name comes from the fact that the width of the vehicle is .

In the successor to VAL 206, the system is compatible with VAL 206. Normally, automatic operation is performed, but it is possible for the driver to manually operate as necessary.

Overview 
Because of automatic operation, the delay is small, the train density can be increased. On the other hand, since this train is basically a two-car train, it is suitable for low-population areas and medium-sized cities.

Interior 
Although the vehicle is small, the window is large, so it is a car with open feeling. Due to the relatively cooler and less humid climate of Europe, air conditioning is not included in the basic specification, but is installed only on the Uijeongbu Light Rail Transit rolling stock in South Korea.

Plastics are widely used for many parts, but doors and handrail are made of stainless steel.

The color tone inside the car varies depending on the railway operator.

Traction equipments 

The traction control system equips Low-voltage IGBT Chopper control.

The traction motor adopted Alstom's brushless DC motor. The traction motor was self-ventilated, mounted on bogie. It is mounted inside each wheel, and the power from the traction motor is transmitted via the planetary gear and the Cardan joint mechanism.

VAL208NG 
A minor change has been done several times in VAL 208, and a major change in specification was made in VAL 208 NG which is a minor change car in 2006. Specific changes are as follows.

 Abolition of VAL 208 logo
 Abolition of the Matra logo that was on the door
 Reduction of noise by reviewing traction motor specifications
 Change of structure of the door

Georges Destriau. Georges Destriau (1 August 1903 - 20 January 1960) was a French physicist and early observer of electroluminescence.

Education and Research
In 1926 Destriau became an engineer at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris. Thereafter he worked in the x-ray device industry. From 1932 until 1941 Destriau worked at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. A brief stay at the University of Bordeaux was followed in 1943 by a move to Paris. In 1946 Destriau became professor at the University of Poitiers and in 1954 at the Sorbonne in Paris. Later Destriau worked for Westinghouse Electric.

Destriau worked in the field of magnetism and X-ray dosimetry of ionizing radiation. Best-known is his research on electroluminescence, which he carried out in 1935 in the Paris laboratory of Marie Curie, who had died a year earlier. Destriau observed that zinc sulfide crystals fluoresced when doped with traces of copper ions and suspended in castor oil between two mica platelets, with a strong alternating electric field applied. Later he replaced the castor oil and mica with a polymer binder.

The effect of electroluminescence is therefore also referred to in some publications as the "Destriau effect". According to some publications, Destriau was the first to use the term "electrophotoluminescence". In his publications, he himself called the light  "Losev-Light", after the Russian radio frequency technician Oleg Losev, who in 1927 worked with silicon carbide crystals to induce a light effect (also electroluminescence).
