Martin Lake Line. The Martin Lake Line is a railroad owned and operated by Texas Utilities and hauled Lignite coal from nearby mines at the Oak Hill Mine and Beckville Mine, until their closures in the later 2010's, to the Martin Lake Power Plant and has a connection with the BNSF Railway's Longview Subdivision near Tatum, TX. Coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming is transferred onto the line via the connection with BNSF. The line was constructed as an electrified line, using 25 kV AC, 60 Hz electrification, and operated GE E25Bs and former Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México GE E60s; however, the line was de-electrified in 2011.

MsQuic. MsQuic is a free and open source implementation of the IETF QUIC protocol written in C that is officially supported on the Microsoft Windows (including Server), Linux, and Xbox platforms. The project also provides libraries for macOS and Android, which are unsupported. It is designed to be a cross-platform general purpose QUIC library optimized for client and server applications benefitting from maximal throughput and minimal latency. By the end of 2021 the codebase had over 200,000 lines of production code, with 50,000 lines of "core" code, sharable across platforms. The source code is licensed under MIT License and available on GitHub.

Among its features are, in part, support for asynchronous IO, receive-side scaling (RSS), UDP send and receive coalescing, and connection migrations that persist connections between client and server to overcome client IP or port changes, such as when moving throughout mobile networks.

Both the HTTP/3 and SMB stacks of Microsoft Windows leverage MsQuic, with msquic.sys providing kernel-mode functionality. Being dependent upon Schannel for TLS 1.3, kernel mode therefore does not support 0-RTT.

User-mode programs can implement MsQuic, with support 0-RTT, through msquic.dll, which can be built from source code or downloaded as a shared library through binary releases on the repository.

Its support for the Microsoft Game Development Kit makes MsQuic possible on both Xbox and Windows.

Ropeways in Nepal. Ropeways in Nepal, which mainly refer to the aerial ropeways, are used for human and cargo transport. In the ‘Nepal Country Report’ of 1976 by the world bank concluded that construction and maintenance of roads in mountainous are costly due to hilly terrain,  and thus other means of transport should be studied mainly indicating to the ropeways. However, ropeways have not gained significant popularity over roadways. In the Ninth Five-year Plan ropeway was encouraged with and involvement of the private sector. But no provision in the national budget was made for ropeway development. Nonetheless, private sector has initiated the construction and operation of ropeways mainly in lucrative places such as religious temple.

History
The first ropeway to carry cargo was Halchowk-Lainchour ropeway which was used to transport stones from the quarry to build palaces. The famous,  Dhorsing-chisapnai-Chandragiri ropeway passing into Kathmandu was built by Chandra Shamser Rana in 1922. It was upgraded in 1964 to reach to Hetauda with a total length of 42 km with technical and financial assistance from USAID.

Types of ropeways in Nepal
Following are the types of ropeways based on the operation mechanism and types of transport.

Tar pul or Ghirling 
Also known as twin, these are rudimentary ropeways used in lieu of bridges to cross rivers. These are generally installed by the local community based on necessity. As of May 2004, there are 25 Tar Pul in Kavre, Gorkha, Myagdi, Udaypur, Chitwan and Lamjung

Gravity Ropeways
A gravity ropeway operates by using potential energy with mechanical power. A weight lowered from a higher elevation lifts the cargo.
Ropeways of this type were first used in Mustang to transport apples. Since then they have been installed in four other locations: Gorkha, Tanahun, Kalikot and Achham.
Most of the construction ropeways fall in this category.

Cargo Ropeways
Cargo ropeways are used in Nepal to transport goods from one place to another. The first ropeway, Halchowk-Lainchour,  was in fact a cargo ropeway. The most famous cargo ropeway was the Kathmandu-Hetauda Ropeway, which is now out of operation.

Passenger ropeways
Mostly electrically operated, these kinds of ropeways or Cable Cars are used by passengers. The first of this kind was Manakamana Cable Car, established in 1998.

List of ropeways in Nepal

This list does not include the smaller ghirlings, which are more numerous.

Projects under consideration

Accidents and safety
In cargo type ropeways, accidents such as falling off of the bucket (as in Adhi Khola and Jimruk Khola ropeways) usually are not fatal.
Four people riding in the ropeway car at Bhapak Ropeway died when the hauling cable snapped on 7 May 1999.
The Chandragiri cable car stopped in mid-air once for 40 minutes and twice for 10 minutes on separate occasions in 2020, inducing panic among the passengers.

Akselos. Akselos is a Swiss company which provides an engineering simulation platform based on reduced-basis finite-element analysis. The platform is  used to create  digital twins of energy infrastructures in order to  improve their design, maintenance, reliability and lifetime.

The company is headquartered in Lausanne at the EPFL Innovation Park, and has offices in Boston and Vietnam. Thomas Leurent is the current Akselos CEO.

Company history 
In 2011, technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) project "High resolution simulations for system analysis" was spun out into Akselos.  In 2012, the company was founded by David Knezevic, Thomas Leurent and Phuong Huynh, who were involved in the initial research.

Akselos raised a first round of investment of USD 2.2 million in 2016. A second round of investment of USD 10 million led by Innogy Ventures and Shell Ventures was raised in 2018.

In 2020, Akselos was selected as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer.

Reduced-basis finite-element analysis technology 
Between 2000 and 2011, reduced-basis finite-element analysis was developed in  research laboratories from different universities, including  MIT and Pierre and Marie Curie University.  Akselos received a license from the MIT Technology licensing office on the development of the technology. Later on, Akselos   collaborated with EPFL for the development of a simulation software for critical infrastructures.

The technology allows its user to perform simulations on a 3D physics-based digital model of an energy infrastructure, called a digital twin. To build the digital twin, all available data on the energy infrastructure asset needs first to be collected. The digital twin then allows the user to monitor reliability as well as predict potential failures and may help to extend the lifetime of assets. It is said by Akselos technology users that in some applications, the technology can be a thousand times faster than other methods. According to the company, the technology provides more details and accuracy than conventional finite element analysis when modelling large assets.

Wing engine. A wing engine is a subsidiary engine installed in a motor boat alongside the main engine. The primary purpose of a wing engine is to provide redundancy and safety in the event of failure of the main engine; a secondary benefit assists manoeuvering in port or in a marina.

Wing engine installation
Whereas the main engine will be larger and invariably mounted on the vessel's centreline, the wing engine will be considerably smaller and positioned to one side. A wing engine will typically be either:
 a small marine engine that may also serve as a generator when running; or
 a diesel generator that may power (typically via a 12v or 24v battery pack) an electric motor that drives its own propeller shaft and propeller.

In either case, the wing engine's propeller will be off-centre. This can give rise to steering difficulties; but this can be used to advantage in port with the main engine as follows: if the main engine has a right-hand propeller, the "prop walk" when in reverse will tend to move the stern to port. In these circumstances, the wing-motor should be arranged to have a propeller to the left (port-side) of the centreline, so as to balance the vessel in astern, or to produce (with the main engine in neutral) a vector thrust to starboard.

Canal boats need very little power in canals, as there is virtually no current (and there are often speed limits). In such canals the wing engine may be used to propel the boat; but when the vessel puts to sea or navigates a fast flowing river, the power of the main engine would be needed. Diesel engines suffer harm if not run under load, so a small wing engine under load should be more efficient in a canal than a main engine operating barely above tick-over.

Examples of wing engine installations

 a 10m Vlet  used on canals by author Marian Martin had a 120bhp DAF main engine, and an 18bhp Sabb wing engine. Ms Martin was so impressed that in her book she recommends wing engines, albeit with some reservations.
 a 27m schooner-rigged Dutch sailing barge, Hosanna, had a large Cummins main engine and a smaller Perkins wing engine. When the Cummins failed, the owners, Bill & Laurel Cooper motored through the French canals to re-engine the boat at Great Yarmouth. So exasperated were they by the tricky steering using just a wing engine for long stretches, that instead of replacing the Cummins with a similar large main engine, they installed two more Perkins engines and propellers. Hosanna now had three similar Perkins engines, one in the centre, and one on either side. In calm canals, just the central engine alone would be used; the other two would be engaged at sea or in fast rivers, or when manoeuvering.

Sabb Motor. Sabb Motor is a Norwegian maker of small marine diesel engines, mostly single-cylinder or twin-cylinder units. The firm was established as Damsgaard Motorfabrikk by two brothers, Alf and Håkon Søyland in 1925. The firm started building engines to meet the demand of fishermen who wanted simple, robust and reliable power for their boats. (The word 'Sabb' means toughness and reliability).

History
The brothers' cottage industry began by creating a 3HP hot-bulb engine. This was followed by a larger 7HP version which tended to suffer broken crankshafts, but the firm was able to solve the problem and re-launch their engines  under the name Ny-Sabb (New Sabb). By 1975, Sabb Motor was producing 3,200 engines a year between 8 and 30 bhp. Facing market competition, the firm concentrated on providing 30bhp engines for ship’s lifeboats, a decision which increased worldwide demand.    The UK's distributor of Sabb engines is Sleeman & Hawken Ltd. More recently, Sabb have established a link with Mitsubishi.

In 2006 Sabb Motor AS was bought by Frydenbø Industri and renamed Frydenbø Sabb Motor AS.

Sabb engines
Sabb engines are rugged and simple; for example, some have "splash lubrication" which requires no oil pump nor filter. (Splash lubrication is an antique system whereby  "spades" on the big-end caps dip into the oil sump and splash the lubricant upwards; clearly it is a system that can work only on very low-revving engines, otherwise the sump oil would become a frothy mousse).

Sabb engines include Types H, G, GA, 2H, 2G, & 2J.
