John Albert Newton Friend. John Albert Newton Friend (20 July 1881 – 15 April 1966) was a British chemist and educator who specialized in the chemistry of corrosion and its prevention. He was among the first to note that chromium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel. He edited a multi-volume textbook of inorganic chemistry.

Friend was born in Newton Abbott, son of a Methodist clergyman Hilderic Friend, and after the family moved to Birmingham, he was educated there at King Edwards' School and then went to Birmingham University, receiving a BSc in 1902 and MSc in 1903. His teachers included John Henry Poynting and Percy Frankland. He taught for a while at Watford Grammar School to enable him to pay for his study at the University of Würzburg, receiving a doctorate in 1908. He then taught chemistry at the Darlington Technical School until 1912 when he became headmaster at the Victoria Institute Science and Technical Schools, Worcester. During World War I, he served with the Royal Engineers. He moved to the Birmingham Technical College in 1920 and worked there until his retirement in 1946. During World War II, he was involved in training the home guards on chemical warfare.

Friend wrote a number of popular books on chemistry and worked especially on corrosion and its prevention, colloid chemistry, electrochemistry, as well as inorganic chemical reactions. Outside of chemistry, he also took an interest in the history of witchcraft, Birmingham, recreational mathematics and numerology:

Japan Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Workers' Unions. The Japan Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Workers' Unions (, Zosenjukiroren) was a trade union representing workers in manufacturing industries in Japan.

The union was founded in 1972 on the initiative of the General Federation of Ship Building Workers' Unions.  The union initially included 74 company unions, and it affiliated to the Japanese Confederation of Labour.  By 1987, the union had 127,000 members.  That year, it joined the new Japanese Trade Union Confederation.

In 2003, the union merged with the Japanese Federation of Iron and Steel Workers' Unions and the Japanese Metal Mine Workers' Union, to form the Japan Federation of Basic Industry Workers' Unions.

Elmer P. Wheaton. Elmer P. Wheaton (August 15, 1909December 28, 1997) was an American aerospace and marine engineer and executive. He was corporate vice president for engineering at Douglas Aircraft Company and vice president for research and development at the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Early life and education 
Wheaton was born in Elyria, Ohio, on August 15, 1909, the first child of Harry and Lizzie Nicholl Wheaton. His family moved to Redlands, California, when he was three. He was sick for much of his childhood, but insisted on earning money as a paperboy. In high school, he enjoyed physics classes.

For college, Wheaton enrolled at Pomona College in Claremont, California, where he majored in physics, discovered marine engineering at the college's Marine Laboratory in Laguna Beach, and was mentored by Roland Tileston.

Career 
After graduating in 1933, in the middle of the Great Depression, Wheaton married and worked on sound recordings for Columbia Pictures. The next year, he joined the Douglas Aircraft Company as a soundproofer on Douglas DC-2 aircraft. He worked his way up the corporate ladder, eventually becoming corporate vice president for engineering, the company's top engineering role, in 1961.

In 1962, Wheaton became vice president for research and development at the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, a division of Lockheed Corporation and the developer of the Polaris missile. His employees later remembered him as a supportive but tough boss—he made them learn to scuba dive so that they would have respect for the sea.

Later life and death 
Wheaton retired from Lockheed in 1974. However, he continued to provide consulting at Lockheed and at Marine Development Associates, where he was an associate and director. He died on December 28, 1997.

Personal life 
Wheaton was an avid equestrian. An Episcopalian, he was deeply spiritual. He had two children with his wife, Martha ().

Recognition 
Wheaton received numerous awards for his work and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1967.

Phi-Sat-2. Phi-Sat-2 (also known as ɸ-Sat-2) is an Earth observation CubeSat mission from the European Space Agency (ESA) capable of running AI apps directly on board. What makes Phi-Sat-2 particularly noteworthy is its utilization of the NanoSat MO Framework, a modular and open-source platform designed for small satellite missions.

The NanoSat MO Framework enhances the satellite's flexibility and adaptability, allowing for efficient integration of AI technologies into its operational workflow through Apps that can be installed on board. The AI Apps will be able to do different activities such as transforming a satellite image to a street map, detecting clouds, detect and classify maritime vessels, and to perform image compression using AI.

Mission Consortium 

The ɸ-Sat-2 mission consortium is composed of the following companies:
 Open Cosmos
 CGI
 Ubotica
 Simera CH Innovative
 CEiiA
 GEO-K
 KP Labs

Spacecraft Payload 

The mission includes the following payload devices:
 On-board Computer from Open Cosmos
 Multi-spectral Optical Camera from Simera CH Innovative (expected 4.75 m ground resolution)
 AI processor: Intel Movidius Myriad 2 from Ubotica

The AI technology used in the mission is based on the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 vision processing unit, which is designed to provide high-performance, low-power processing for computer vision applications. The Myriad 2 is integrated into the spacecraft and is used to process and analyze the images captured by the hyperspectral camera in near real-time.
The AI processor was already adopted on the previous Phi-Sat-1 mission.

Arsenidosilicate. Arsenidosilicates are chemical compounds that contain anions with arsenic bonded to silicon. They are in the category of tetrelarsenides, pnictidosilicates, or tetrelpnictides. They can be classed as Zintl phases or intermetallics. They are analogous to the nitridosilicates, phosphidosilicates, arsenidogermanates, and arsenidostannates. They are distinct from arsenate silicates which have oxygen connected with arsenic and silicon, or arsenatosilicates with arsenate groups sharing oxygen with silicate.

Arsenidosilicates have dark coloured crystals, usually metallic black. They are often decomposed by water, and some are unstable with respect to the water in air.

These compounds have been investigated as ionic conductors, semiconductors and photovoltaics.

Kaweah-class oiler. The Kaweah-class oiler was a class of oil tankers of United States Navy during the Second World War.

Development 
Four oilers were ordered for construction by the William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia. These ships were the remaining four 1917 program oilers, 5450/14,500-ton tankers built to USSB Design 1128 between 1919 and 1921. Similar in size and speed to the , Alameda, and Kaweah classes also served principally as transport tankers.
