Tokyu 8090 series. The  and the related  were commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train types that were operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in the Kanto region of Japan from 1980 until 2019.

Design
The trains have lightweight stainless steel car bodies. The car bodies were designed using computer analysis while maintaining the necessary strength. Compared to the preceding 8000 series trains, these trains weigh approximately 2 tons lighter per car. Tokyu operated the 8090 series as five- and eight-car sets, with three and six motored cars per trainset. The 8590 series cab cars have emergency exit doors in the front to permit operation on underground lines.

History
The 8090 series were introduced on the Tokyu Toyoko Line in 1980.

In preparation for future inter-running services between the Toyoko Line and the then-finalised Minatomirai Line, reorganisation of this series took place from September 1988 to February 1989. This was done by manufacturing 10 new 8590 series cab cars with emergency exit doors and removing three cars from each of the ten 8090 series sets and combining two sets of the extracted cars with two of the newly-built 8590 series end cars, thus forming 5 8590 series 8-car sets. In addition, the original 8090 series sets became 5-car sets and were transferred to the Tokyu Oimachi Line.

In 2006, sets 8694 and 8695 were lengthened to 10 cars and transferred to the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line while sets 8691-8693 were re-deployed to the Oimachi Line as five-car sets.

The 10-car sets were used on Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line inter-running services, but they were not capable of running through to the Tobu Skytree Line. Hence, they had "K" stickers attached on the front cab window to indicate this.

Withdrawal
From 1 May 2013, sets 8081 and 8099, which were the last two 8090 series sets on the Oimachi Line received farewell headmarks on the cab fronts just before their retirement.

On 11 December 2018, 10-car set 8695 was withdrawn from service on the Den-en-toshi Line. On 27 February 2019, set 8694, which was the last remaining 8590 series set, ended service on the Den-en-toshi Line and was later sent to Onda factory.

Resale

Chichibu Railway

Former Tokyu 8090 series cars were transferred to Chichibu Railway, which designated them as 7500 and 7800 series.

Toyama Chihō Railway
Toyama Chihō Railway operates a number of former Tokyu 8590 series trains, classified as . They first entered service on 2 November 2013 and were put into regular operation from 3 November that same year. The first 5 cars (DeHa 8592+DeHa 8692, DeHa 8593+DeHa 8693 and DeHa 8191) were transferred to Toyama Chihō Railway in July 2013. Four more cars (DeHa 8594+DeHa 8694 and DeHa 8595+DeHa 8695) followed suit in October 2019.

Piney Orchard Nature Preserve. Piney Orchard Nature Preserve is a  protected wetland forest with several miles of improved trails located in southern Odenton, Maryland. The preserve is surrounded by 1,500 acres of river woodland between the residential communities of Piney Orchard, Two Rivers, Woodwardville, and Amberfield. Piney Orchard Nature Preserve is bordered by the Patuxent Research Refuge to the west, the Little Patuxent River to the south, and the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Trail to the east.

Initiated in 1987, Constellation Real Estate (an Exelon Corporation subsidiary) started restoration of wetlands along the Little Patuxent River that had been mined for sand and gravel during the 1940s and '50s and remained deserted and unrestored. The mitigation projects--a term used for this type of restoration--followed five phases to replace wetlands filled in by the development of the 4,000-unit Piney Orchard residential community, which included the formation and enhancement of five large ponds and planting of native trees, shrubs, and grasses. The Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees such mitigations, monitored the progress of the project sites until 1995, when the projects were determined successful and completed. In 1996 the Piney Orchard Nature Preserve was officially opened to all residents of Anne Arundel County, and has been managed since 2005 by the Piney Orchard Community Association.

 768 species of plants and animals have been reported in Piney Orchard Nature Preserve, which sustains a wide diversity of wildlife in wetland, woodland, and grassland habitats. Around 165 species of birds refuge in the preserve, 26 species of which are threatened or endangered, including bald eagles, bitterns (heron family), cormorants (ocean divers), grebes (lake divers), harriers (eagle family), hawks (eagle family), herons (pond fishers), juncos (a.k.a. 'snowbirds'), mergansers (pond divers), merlins (falcon family), and teals (aquatic). Only 1,000 feet separate Patuxent Research Refuge from Piney Orchard Nature Preserve, separated by the train tracks of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor; thus unofficially the smaller Preserve is an unincorporated portion of the larger refuge, which supports a similar and larger set of native flora and fauna around 3,300 species.

The 5 miles of biking and hiking trails in Piney Orchard Nature Preserve connect to the regional 10-mile Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Trail that joins the national 6,800-mile American Discovery Trail spanning coast-to-coast from California to Delaware.

Transport System Bögl. Transport System Bögl (TSB) is a maglev system for driverless trains developed by the German construction company Max Bögl since 2010. Its primary intended use is for short to medium distances (up to ) and speeds up to  for uses such as airport shuttles. The company has been doing test runs on an  long test track at their headquarters in Sengenthal, Upper Palatinate, Germany since 2012 clocking over 100,000 tests covering a distance of over  as of 2018.

Technical data

Chinese joint venture
In 2018 Max Bögl signed a joint venture with the Chinese company  Chengdu Xinzhu Road & Bridge Machinery Co. Ltd. to build a 3.5 km test track in Chengdu, China. The Chinese partner is to be given exclusive rights of production and marketing for the system in China. In 2020 the first cars intended for use on the Chinese test track were carried by truck to Munich Airport and then flown by Antonov An-124 cargo plane to their destination for a planned entry into test-service later that year.

Proposals for use
In February 2020 the German ministry of transportation announced a feasibility study for the use of TSB at Munich Airport.
In June 2020 the CDU Berlin (then in opposition at the state level) proposed to build a line of the TSB to Berlin Brandenburg Airport citing alleged cost benefits as compared to an extension of the  Berlin U-Bahn.

In November 2023, the CDU Berlin announced plans for the construction of a TSB line in the city centre.

Neodymium(III) hydroxide. Neodymium(III) hydroxide is an insoluble inorganic compound with the chemical formula Nd(OH)3.

Preparation
Neodymium(III) nitrate and ammonia water will react to produce neodymium(III) hydroxide:
 Nd(NO3)3 + 3 NH3·H2O → Nd(OH)3↓ + 3 NH4NO3
If the amount of Nd(NO3)3 is 40g/L, the amount of ammonia water needed is 0.50 mol/L. The ammonia water is mixed into the Nd(NO3)3 solution at the speed of 1.5mL/min, and polyethylene glycol is used to control pH. The process will produce neodymium(III) hydroxide powder with grain size ≤1μm.

Chemical properties
Neodymium(III) hydroxide can react with acid and produce neodymium salts:
 Nd(OH)3 + 3 H+ → Nd3+ + 3 H2O
For example, to create neodymium acetate with neodymium(III) hydroxide:
Nd(OH)3 + 3CH3COOH → Nd(CH3COO)3 + 3H2O

Dynetics X-61 Gremlins. The Dynetics X-61 Gremlins is an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle designed by Dynetics.

Design and development 
The X-61 stemmed from the DARPA Gremlins program to demonstrate a recoverable, low-cost UAV with digital flight controls and navigation systems. It is designed to be  recovered in midair by a modified transport airplane following its mission. Dynetics was one of four companies to be awarded a Phase I contract for the program in 2016, and was the winner of the Phase III contract in April 2018.

The X-61A is powered by a Williams F107 turbofan engine and can carry a variety of payloads, including electro-optical sensors, infrared imagers, electronic warfare systems, and weapons. It was designed to be compatible  with existing launch and ground support equipment. The UAV is semi-autonomous, allowing a controller either in the mothership or on the ground to control up to eight X-61As at one time.

Operational history 
As of January 2020, five X-61A Gremlins have been built. On July 5, 2019, an earthquake near China Lake damaged some of the first X-61A's test equipment, delaying the program. The first captive flight of the X-61A on board a Lockheed C-130A Hercules mother ship was in November 2019.

The first free flight of the X-61A was conducted on January 17, 2020. The flight was successful, however, the main parachute failed to deploy during the recovery and the aircraft was lost. The four remaining vehicles are still operational.

In August 2020 the company announced they had completed a second test flight, this time successfully recovering the aircraft by parachute. The flight lasted over two hours and included rendezvous and formation flight with the C-130 mother ship.

In October 2021 DARPA announced that a specially equipped C-130 Hercules cargo plane had successfully recovered an X-61A from mid-air.
