Paul Pothen. Paul Pothen (1916-2004) was an Indian industrialist and one of the pioneers of fertilizer industry in India. He was the founding managing director of three large scale fertilizer manufacturing firms in India.

Pothen was born in a Mallapally-based Christian family on 8 January 1916 at Nedumangad, in the Thiruvananthapuram district and graduated from the University of Madras in 1935, after which he secured his graduation in civil engineering from the University of Mysore in 1940. He continued his studies to get higher training in electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (formerly Rourkee University) and did an advanced course in Canada under the aegis of Colombo Plan in 1965-66.

Pothen started his career by joining the Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) in a senior management position in 1944 where he stayed until 1965 when he was made the founding managing director of FACT Engineering and Design Organisation (FEDO) in 1965. Three years later, when the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) was established in 1968, Pothen was made the founding managing director. He continued at IFFCO till 1981 and moved to Krishak Bharati Cooperative (KRIBHCO) as the organization's founding managing director. He headed the Fertilizer Association of India for several years and was also associated with the Travancore Cochin Chemicals and Fact Technical Society.

The Government of India awarded the fourth highest Indian civilian honour of Padma Shri in 1977. He died on 3 August 2004 at the age of 88, succumbing to old age illnesses at Amrita Hospital in Kochi. The Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative named one of their townships as Paul Pothen Nagar, in honour of their former managing director.

Thomas Henry Moray. Thomas Henry Moray (August 28, 1892 - May 18, 1974) was an inventor from Salt Lake City, Utah. He received US patent 2,460,707, "Electrotherapeutic Device", in February 1949, after a process of 17 years in discussions with the patent office.

During the 1920s, Moray worked in the emerging field of radio. After hundreds of experiments designed to improve radio reception, Moray claimed to have discovered a source of energy transmission apparently available everywhere. Using advanced ideas in solid state detectors, he developed a power source which he claimed to produce 50,000 watts. By the early 1930s, dozens of people had reportedly witnessed demonstrations of this technology.

In 1944 Moray was paid $25 a day by the rural electrification administration to perfect his system of drawing electrical energy out of the atmosphere. He claimed his invention produced electricity with no exterior input of energy. The primary component of the device was a non-heated vacuum tube. At the time most vacuum tubes had heaters built inside. The patent office refused to grant his patent, initially, because they claimed that any vacuum tube without a heater would not work. He was never granted a patent for his power supply device. He did have other inventions and was able to obtain a patent for one of those, the Electrotherapeutic device.

LED to LED communication. LED (Light-emitting diode) to LED communication, also known as “Mobile Device Light Communications” are sundry techniques which repurpose mobile computer devices, including mobile telephones, to communicate with other devices, using visual or infrared light.

“Mobile device light communication” differs from Visual Light Communication as “mobile device light communication” transmits data at speeds thousands of times slower than Li-fi.

“Mobile Device Light Communication” takes various forms:
 The mobile device flashlight LED (also called the camera flash LED) can send visual light signals in the form of white light flashes.
 The mobile device infrared proximity emitter and sensor can send infrared flashes and receive infrared flashes.
 The liquid crystal display (LCD) or LED display of the mobile device can send visual light signals in the form of colored display flashes.

A color sensor, or an ambient light sensor, or a  reverse biased LED can receive flashes from the mobile device, and send flashes back to the infrared light sensor on the mobile device.
 
Picalico exploits the features of two iOS mobile devices.  Light Message also does so for Android.

Light communication is low cost, since the hardware for mobile light communication is often already a component of the mobile device assembly.  Adding the capability of receiving mobile light communication to electronic gadgets is also low cost, since a reverse biased LED or color sensor chip costs very little.

Mobile device light communication is orders of magnitude slower than Bluetooth, or Li-fi.  It is suitable for low cost basic mobile telephones that lack Bluetooth or iBeacon, or as a backup communication system, when Bluetooth fails.

Mobile device light communication is the basis for the German banking ATM system flicker code procedure.

Since many electronic devices have a display or LEDs, light communication can be added to these devices.  Devices like CRT monitors, tablets, watches, laptops, LED flashers, wristbands, and other gadgets with displays or LEDs can accommodate mobile light communication.  Bg-fi is a mobile light JavaScript which can be adapted to devices running Java.

Mobile device light communication is described in patents 5136644, 5488571, 5742260, 6977868, 20090232515, 20140082076, EP1211841B1, EP1788509A1, GB2376115A1, WO2011007380A1, and by patents pending.

Bucket handle movement. Bucket-handle is a movement of ribs that results in change in transverse diameter of the thorax.

Definition
One of the most important functions of ribs and diaphragm is the change in volume of thorax that helps inspiration and expiration. In general, the ribs move around two axes. As the anterior end of ribs is about 4 cm lower than the posterior end, the middle part of rib is lower than anterior and posterior ends. Movement at costovertebral joints 7 to 10 about an anteroposterior axis results in raising and lowering the middle of the rib, the Bucket-handle movement. In elevation, this increases the transverse diameter of the thorax.

Thermal integrity profiling. Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) is a non-destructive testing method used to evaluate the integrity of concrete foundations. It is standardized by ASTM D7949 - Standard Test Methods for Thermal Integrity Profiling of Concrete Deep Foundations.

The testing method was first developed in the mid 1990s at the University of South Florida. It relates the heat generated by curing of cement to the integrity and quality of drilled shafts, augered cast in place (ACIP) piles and other concrete foundations. In general, a shortage of competent concrete (necks or inclusions) is registered by relative cool regions; the presence of extra concrete (over-pour bulging into soft soil strata) is registered by relative warm regions.

Concrete temperatures along the length of the foundation element are sampled throughout the concrete hydration process. TIP analysis is performed at the point of peak temperature, generally 18 to 24hrs post-concreting. Measurements are available relatively soon after pouring (6 to 72 hours), generally before other integrity testing methods such as cross hole sonic logging and low strain integrity testing can be performed.

TIP can be performed using a probe lowered down standard access tubes or by installing embedded thermal wires along the length of the reinforcement cage. Four thermal wires are commonly installed along the steel cage, each 90 degrees from one another, forming a north-east-south-west configuration. If records at a certain depth show regions with cooler temperatures (when compared to the average temperature at that depth), a concrete deficiency or defect may be present. An average temperature at a certain depth that is significantly lower than the average temperatures at other depths may also be indication of a potential problem. It is also possible to estimate the effective area of the foundation, and to assess if the reinforcing cage is properly aligned and centered.

John P. Devaney (fireboat). The John P. Devaney was a fireboat operated briefly by the Fire Department of New York City in 1994. It was named after a firefighter who lost his life in the line of duty.

The John P. Devaney and her sister ship, the Alfred E. Ronaldson, were experimental surface-effect ship designs related to hovercraft.
They had a pair of catamaran hulls.  A rubber skirt between the hulls could be inflated by powerful fans, enabling them to travel at over .  The fibreclass hulls were shipped from Europe, equipped with a high-tech sensor suite.

At $3.5 million each, the vessels were expensive. After being commissioned in June 1992, but were operated for only five months, withdrawn in November 1992 because their maintenance was too complicated.

Tumlare. The Tumlare (lit. Porpoise) is a class of canoe-sterned (or 'double-ended') yacht designed by Knud Reimers. The design dates from the early 1930s (1933 from a majority of sources; No. 1, Aibe was built the next year for Bengt Kinde). The Tumlare is  overall; the design was strongly endorsed as a 'very advanced type' by Uffa Fox who was especially interested in the composite method of construction employed, with metal frames interspersed between the timber ones.

The class became popular worldwide. Examples are to be found all round the Baltic, in the UK, North America and Australia. The total number built is given variously from 'At least 200' to 'Some 600', with '660' given in Vanessa Bird's 'Classic Classes'.

As standard, the class carries  of sail, however a variant known as the Hocco is a class with the same hull but  of sail, conceived for sailing on inland waters, specifically Lake Geneva.

The larger sister class, the 32' Large Tumlare, Stortumlare, or 'Albatross' class is a related design.

Interest Flooding Attack. An Interest Flooding Attack (IFA) is a denial-of-service attack in an Information-centric network (or Content-Centric Networking (CCN) or Named Data Networking (NDN)). An attacker requests existing or non-existing content in order to overload the distribution infrastructure. This can be implemented by sending Interest packets, which are not resolved at all or not resolved fast enough, and thus lead to malicious CPU or memory consumption.

This attack was previously denoted an open problem in ICN, only heuristic countermeasures available.  In 2016, Aubrey Alston and Tamer Refaei of The MITRE Corporation presented an exact solution to this problem which utilizes an in-packet cryptographic mechanism to remove the ability of high-volume Interest traffic to overload the distribution infrastructure of the network.
