Open ModelSphere. Open ModelSphere was a data, process and UML modeling tool written in Java and distributed as free software under the GPL License. It provided support for forward and reverse engineering between UML and relational schemas.

History
Open ModelSphere has SILVERRUN PerfectO for an ancestor, proprietary software developed by Computer Systems Advisers and released in 1996. PerfectO was part of the SILVERRUN suite of modeling tools, known in the modeling community since the 1990s; PerfectO was used to support object-oriented modeling (limited to class modeling at that time) and object-relational modeling.

In 1998, PerfectO was translated into Java resulting in SILVERRUN-JD (Java Designer). With the addition of relational data modeling, the product was renamed to SILVERRUN ModelSphere and released in 2002.  Later on, more features were added including support for business process modeling, conceptual data modeling, and UML diagramming.

In September 2008, Grandite released ModelSphere's core application as an open source product based on the GNU General Public License version 3. Its development environment was hosted on JavaForge which shut down March 31, 2016. An empty project is hosted on SourceForge which was registered on Sep 16th, 2008 and last updated on Mar 27th, 2013. 

No releases, files, or source code are available anymore from Grandite as of Oct 18th, 2016. The remaining publicly available forks of the 3.0 codeline are based on Java 7, out of free support itself since 2015.

Kilrie. Kilrie is a railway locomotive, built in South Australia.

Built by Perry Engineering of Gawler (S/N 265) in November 1924 this tiny locomotive was one of twelve similar units purchased by the State Rivers & Water Supply Commission of Victoria for use on the construction of the Hume Weir on the Murray River near Albury. Its driving wheels are 28.5 inch (724mm) diameter. These are driven by a boiler working at 150 pounds per square inch and two 10 inch (254mm) diameter by 24 inch (610mm) stroke cylinders actuated by Walschaerts valve gear. After use at the Hume Reservoir from 1925 to 1935, it was placed in storage until sold to the Pioneer Sugar Mill near Brandon, Queensland. It was converted from a 0-4-0T to its present 0-4-2T configuration during 1960 and at the same time converted to burn oil. Sold during 1978 to the Australian Narrow Gauge Preservation Society, who now operate the  narrow gauge Woodford Railway in Woodford, Kilrie was purchased by the  Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway on 27 April 2008. In its time at Swanbank it has been restored to proper working order, reconverted to coal burning and, for reasons of safety and train operation, has also been fitted with a Westinghouse automatic air braking system.

SciPhone. SciPhone is a brand of Shanzhai cellular phone associated with a Chinese company called Bluelans Communications which produced imitation mobile phones using the designs of major brands of mobile phones. These phones were usually low priced. For example, it produced counterfeit devices that were very similar to Apple's iPhone and featured its basic functionalities.

The phones were available throughout the Internet, on major websites such as eBay and Alibaba, which were usually shipped from Hong Kong or Mainland China, while some had been known to ship from Singapore. In addition to being available online, the phones could commonly be found in Shanzhai-based marketplaces in China with various being rare to find. These marketplaces emerged as a culture in China, implying not only banditry but also a form of rebellion and the lack of state control. For some observers, SciPhone was part of the rip-off products that came to represent the people's resistance to the dominant cultural values in the country.

The phones have found repute and intrigue in major technology blogs, such as Gizmodo and Engadget, where they are usually labeled as KIRF or counterfeit. SciPhone devices are usually found running MediaTek's MAUI, however many newer models, such as the Sciphone N12, N16, N17, N19, and N21, are running Android 1.5.

Amesite. Amesite is a mineral with general formula of Mg2Al2SiO5(OH)4.

Amesite crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system. It contains three axes of unequal length, not at right angles.

It was first described in 1876 for an occurrence in the Chester Emery Mines, Chester, Hampden County, Massachusetts. It was named for mine owner James Ames. It occurs in an environment of low-grade metamorphism affecting rocks with high aluminium and magnesium content.  It occurs associated with vesuvianite, chlorite, magnetite, rutile, diaspore, grossular, calcite, diopside and clinozoisite in various locations.

Amesite is an uncommon silicate mineral which has been reported from a variety of locations worldwide.  Amesite has the first reported natural occurrence of the 6R polytype for a trioctahedral 1:1 layer silicate.

Walter Brown (mathematician). Walter Brown FRSE (29 April 1886, Glasgow – 14 April 1957, Marandellas, Rhodesia) was a Scottish mathematician and engineer.

Life

The younger son of Hugh A. Brown, a headmaster in Paisley, Walter was educated at Allan Glen's School and then studied at the University of Glasgow (BSc Hons Mathematics and Physics 1907; and BSc Pure Science 1910). He began his career as a teacher at Allan Glen's. Brown became a member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society in March 1911.

In 1914 he took up the post of Lecturer in Engineering at Hong Kong University. He was soon promoted to become Professor in Pure and Applied Mathematics, a post he held from 1918 to 1946.

In 1920 he was elected an Associate Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. In 1923 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Andrew Gray, George Alexander Gibson, John Walter Gregory, John Gordon Gray and Dugald McQuistan.

He was President of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Society, and a member of the Hong Kong English Association, the Hong Kong Sino-British Association, and the Hong Kong Institute of Engineers and Shipbuilders.

A member of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Brown was captured when Hong Kong surrendered to the Japanese, and he was held as a Prisoner of War at Stanley Camp (1941–45). He organised study groups in the internment camp, and helped attend to the medical needs of the prisoners.

Returning to Scotland after the war, he taught civil and mechanical engineering at the Royal Technical College in Glasgow (1946–47), and mathematics at the University of Glasgow (1947–48).

He travelled extensively and died in Marandellas in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in April 1957.

Johannesburg-Durban High Speed Rail. In April 2010, the South African Minister of Transport proposed a Johannesburg–Durban high-speed rail system. There are concerns about the cost and engineering difficulty of the project, which would have to cross the Drakensberg mountains. The project is expected to cost U$30 billion, but there are hopes that alternative funding sources will be available. China Railway Group says it is in talks with the South African government for construction contracts. In August of 2021, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula announced that a feasibility study had begun into the transport corridor, with President Cyril Ramaphosa
's cabinet approving the framework for implementing the project in November 2023, highlighting the Johannesburg-Durban corridor as its main priority.

Save the Robots. Save the Robots was an underground after hours club in New York City's East Village neighborhood. "Robots," as the venue was popularly known, operated illegally from a nondescript storefront and basement at 25 Avenue B, between East 2nd and 3rd Streets, from 1983 until mid-1984, when the club was shut down for fire safety violations. After undergoing safety-related renovations and obtaining a social club license, the venue reopened in early January 1986.

The club was frequented by drag performers, musicians, Club Kids, employees of other bars and clubs, skinheads and other denizens of downtown New York nightlife, including Dean Johnson and Lady Bunny. Save the Robots was known for its late hours of operation and sold only vodka, soda and fruit juice. Patrons typically arrived after 4 a.m. and partied until the 8 a.m. closing time, often with the aid of recreational drugs. At one point, talk show host Craig Ferguson worked there as a bouncer.

1993 was the last year of 'Robots'. The space was subsequently leased to other operators, who transformed it into a fully licensed dance club, to capitalize on the "Save the Robots" name, without consent from the original owners and with few vestiges of the original clientele or atmosphere.

At a later time, the venue was bought by another owner and renamed Guernica. It was closed again in 2003 after the club's bouncer, Dana Blake, was stabbed in an incident with some smokers outside the club.

Cleveland open-cup method. The Cleveland open-cup method is one of three main methods in chemistry for determining the flash point of a petroleum product using a Cleveland open-cup apparatus, also known as a Cleveland open-cup tester.  First, the test cup of the apparatus (usually brass) is filled to a certain level with a portion of the product. Then, the temperature of this chemical is increased rapidly and then at a slow, constant rate as it approaches the theoretical flash point. The increase in temperature will cause the chemical to begin to produce flammable vapor in increasing quantities and density. The lowest temperature at which a small test flame passing over the surface of the liquid causes the vapor to ignite is considered the chemical's flash point.  This apparatus may also be used to determine the chemical's fire point which is considered to have been reached when the application of the test flame produces at least five continuous seconds of ignition. Temperature range of this apparatus is 120 to 250 degree c 

The other principal methods of establishing chemical flash points are the Pensky–Martens closed-cup test and the Tagliabue cup method (often called simply the "Tag method").

UMS Skeldar V-200. The UMS Skeldar V-200 is a medium-range helicopter and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) developed by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. The Skeldar can be used for surveillance, intelligence gathering, light cargo transportation, and electronic warfare.

Development
The Skeldar is a derivative of CybAero’s APID 55 UAV system, and its development started in 2005. In June 2006 the Skeldar V-150 was unveiled at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris, France. The Skeldar V-200 is the designation for the developed version of the system.

Design
The Skeldar V-200 can take-off and land on an area of 15×15 meters. Take-off and landings can be made autonomously.

Skeldar V-200 is modular in the sense that payloads can be changed depending on the mission characteristics, for example it can be equipped with laser pointers, range finders, electro-optical & infrared (EO/IR) 3D mapping, a light cargo hook and SIGINT (Signals Intelligence).

The Skeldar V-200 can be operated in both in land and naval operations, by 2–4 people. A UAS Control Station can be integrated into a ground-vehicle such as an APC or truck.

For naval operations the control station can be integrated into a ship's normal operator consoles and combat management systems.

In 2009 Saab partnered with Swiss UAV to jointly develop and market three VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) designs: the Skeldar V-200 and Swiss UAV's Neo S-300 and Koax X 240. The three systems can be controlled from a Saab common ground control station.

In the end of 2015 Saab partnered with UMS and created the company UMS Skeldar.

In September 2018, UMS Skeldar V-200B was selected by the German Navy for use on board K130 Braunschweig class corvettes.

The Royal Netherlands Navy and Belgian Navy Component will use the V-200 on their future MCMV's (mine countermeasure vessels), of which the first will be operational in 2024.
