Paul Weber (academic). Paul Weber (February 27, 1904 – June 1983) was the interim president of the Georgia Institute of Technology from previous president Blake Ragsdale Van Leer's death until a replacement was found in Edwin D. Harrison, a period of approximately 18 months.

Career
Weber initially joined Georgia Tech as a chemical engineering instructor in 1927, and over time became the head of the department. He temporarily left Georgia Tech to finish his education and in 1934 received a doctorate in chemistry from Purdue University. He was also involved in research through the Georgia Tech Research Institute, then known as the Engineering Experiment Station; his research from 1940 to 1952 focused on paint primers for Southern yellow pine.

In 1955 he was Dean of Faculties; and after an intensive reorganization of the institute administration, he was named vice president for planning in 1965.

After Georgia Tech president Blake Van Leer died in office, Weber was acting president from January 1956 to August 1957, while still holding the title of Dean of Faculties. After the selection of a replacement in 1957, he remained a Georgia Tech administrator and would be named vice president for Planning in 1966.

After his retirement in 1969, Dr. Weber was named Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering and Emeritus Vice President for Planning.

Ray of Light (sculpture). Ray of Light, is a public artwork by artist Barton Rubenstein, located on the north side of the Redwood Shores Library, in Redwood City, California, United States.  The sculpture, constructed from stainless steel, was commissioned as part of the G. R. Cress Bird Bath Project.

Description
Like rays of light, this sculpture rises with vertical lines that fan upwards and outwards. Water passes over the top edges and glides down the sculpture's surfaces. With its brushed finish, Ray of Light emits a shimmering light that is magnified by its multiple articulated surfaces.

Information
The sculpture is a functioning bird bath.

Acquisition
The Redwood City Culture Commission held a competition for artists to submit designs for bird baths with a deadline of October 1, 2007. They stated that the theme was open to interpretation as long as the finished work would supply birds with water.
Sculpture purchased by Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission in 2008 as part of the G. R. Cress Bird Bath Project and installed in December 2008.

Location
The sculpture resides outside on the north end of the Redwood Shores branch of the Redwood City Public Library adjacent to the Belmont Slough.

Artist
Barton Rubenstein creates indoor and outdoor sculpture with and without water for public and private spaces. These include state projects, corporate, commercial and academic institutions as well as private residences. He typically works with bronze, stainless steel, stone and glass.

Guizhou WS-13. The WS-13 (), codename Taishan, is a turbofan engine designed and manufactured by Guizhou Aircraft Industry Corporation to power the CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder lightweight multirole fighter jointly developed by China and Pakistan, and in the near future the Shenyang FC-31 fifth-generation stealth fighter currently under development.

Design and development
China began development of the Taishan in 2000 to create a domestic engine for replacing the Klimov RD-93 turbofan, which had been selected in the 1990s to power the JF-17 lightweight fighter. It is designed to produce 86 kN (19,000 lb) of thrust with afterburner and have a life span of 2,200 hours; an improved version providing up to 93 kN (21,000 lb) of thrust with afterburner was also developed.

The WS-13 Taishan was certified in 2007 and serial production began in 2009. The 18 March 2010 edition of the HKB Report stated that a JF-17 equipped with the WS-13 completed its first successful runway taxi test.

Officials at the Farnborough International Airshow in August 2010 stated that a JF-17 was being test flown with a Chinese engine, likely the WS-13. In November 2012, Aviation Week & Space Technology reported that flight testing on the JF-17 was underway in China. It was reported at the 2015 Paris Air Show that testing was continuing.

Guizhou is developing a new engine, designated the WS-19 that fits in the same footprint as the WS-13 but is a wholly new design that incorporates the same technology as the Xian WS-15. The WS-19 is the intended engine for production versions of the Shenyang FC-31 medium-size stealth fighter such as the J-35 for aircraft carriers.

Variants
 WS-13 –  thrust with afterburner
 WS-13A – high bypass
 WS-13E/IPE –  thrust with afterburner
 WS-13X/WS-21 –  Further development of WS-13E.

Applications
 CAC/PAC JF-17 (WS-13)
 Shenyang FC-31 (WS-13E)
 Shenyang J-35 (WS-21)

Carbon dioxide reforming. Carbon dioxide reforming (also known as dry reforming) is a method of producing synthesis gas (mixtures of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from the reaction of carbon dioxide with hydrocarbons such as methane with the aid of metal catalysts (typically Ni or Ni alloys). Synthesis gas is conventionally produced via the steam reforming reaction or coal gasification. In recent years, increased concerns on the contribution of greenhouse gases to global warming have increased interest in the replacement of steam as reactant with carbon dioxide.

The dry reforming reaction may be represented by:
CH4 + CO2 <=>[975^oC] 2CO + 2H2
Thus, two greenhouse gases are consumed and useful chemical building blocks, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, are produced.  A challenge to the commercialization of this process is that the hydrogen that is produced tends to react with carbon dioxide.  For example, the following reaction typically proceeds with lower activation energy than the dry reforming reaction itself:
CO + H2O <=>[600^oC] CO2 + H2
Another issue with dry reforming is situated in the fact that it operates at conditions that produces water. As a result, this water can lead to unwanted back-reaction to CO2 via the water-gas shift reaction. To prevent CO2 from being formed, and consequently losses in CO yield, CO2 can be adsorbed onto calcium oxide. Consequently, the process forms only CO and H2O, increasing the utilization efficiency of the feedstocks. This process is better known as super-dry reforming.

CO2 can be dry reformed in to CO gas at 800-850 °C by reacting with petcoke, biochar, coal, etc. using low cost iron based catalysts. Using cheaper renewable electricity like solar or wind energy, this cheaper method converts  petcoke and green house gas CO2 in to useful fuel like methanol achieving carbon capture and utilization. Some CO gas is converted in to hydrogen via water-gas shift reaction.

Phoseon Technology. Phoseon Technology is a privately owned electronic manufacturing company based in Hillsboro in the U.S. state of Oregon. Founded in 2002, the company makes products that use ultraviolet light produced by light emitting diodes (LED) that are used for curing products in industrial settings. Phoseon is located in the Portland metropolitan area and has offices in Europe and Asia. Bill Cortelyou is the chief executive officer and president of the firm.

History

Phoseon was founded by Mark Owen, Francois Vlach, and Christopher O'Leary in 2002 with a single product. Owen had helped develop the product while working for Agilent Technologies while Vlach negotiated the rights to it from the company after they declined to pursue the invention commercially. The product, the FX-B, is a fluorescent inspection system that utilizes a UV LED radion module as a light source. Phoseon had grown to 20 employees by October 2003 and expanded to offices in Asia and Europe.

The company raised US$6.4 million in capital in March 2005 by selling preferred stock to a group of investors that included SmartForest Ventures and PacRim Venture Partners. The next year Phoseon raised another $1.3 million through a convertible debt offering, upping their total to $9.2 million in capital raised. At that time the company had grown to 30 employees.

Co-founder Mark Owen left the company in 2007. He had been replaced as CEO in December 2006, but had remained on the company's board until 2012. In 2010, Phoseon was a finalist for Rising Star of the Year for the Oregon Technology Awards. Phoseon donated UV ink curing equipment to Clemson University in 2019. The company was purchased by Excelitas Technologies in 2023.

Products
Phoseon has several products. Their main product uses ultraviolet light produced by light emitting diodes (LEDs) in industrial applications, specifically for curing adhesives, coatings, and ink.  Phoseon calls their product Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM), which does not use mercury and is a solid-state electronic technology. Their UV product can also be used in DVD manufacturing. The company's products are also used for disinfecting.

Past products have included Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and a product that utilizes infrared technology for inspecting semiconductors that was sold off in 2007 to Viscom AG. In March 2018, Phoseon Technology introduced UV LED microplate with KeyPro™ KP100 decontamination system.

Two Open Rectangles, Excentric, Variation VI. Two Open Rectangles, Excentric, Variation VI, is a public artwork by American artist George Rickey, located on the Middlebury College campus, outside of the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Building, in Middlebury, Vermont, United States. This kinetic sculpture of stainless steel consists of two rotating open rectangles attached with bearings on a u-shaped mount on an upright arm in a steel base. It measures approximately 12 feet high by 3 feet wide.

Description
This stainless steel sculpture is composed of two rotating open rectangles attached with bearings on a u-shaped mount on an upright arm is a steel base. The rectangles move with the wind in a yaw, pitch and roll. The steel base is painted grey in color and has a silver colored metal plate label attached to it with screws.

Information
The sculpture replaced a smaller work by Rickey, Two Open Rectangles, Excentric, Variation III, which was stolen from its pedestal in front of the Middlebury College Johnson Building on August 15, 1976.  Although the artist and the college were disappointed by the theft, the occasion did permit the artist to produce a similar, larger sculpture that would hold up to the scale of the Johnson Building's architecture.

It, or a near replica, recently (September 2019) has been spotted in Sydney G. Walton Square, San Francisco.

Acquisition
The sculpture was commissioned in 1976 by the Middlebury College Friends of the Art Museum. The purchase was funded by a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Friends of the Art Museum's Acquisition Fund. This work was the first outdoor sculpture acquired for the Middlebury College campus.

Condition
This sculpture's condition was described as being well-maintained in 1992 as part of Save Outdoor Sculpture!, a campaign organized by Heritage Preservation: The National Institute of Conservation partnered with the Smithsonian Institution, specifically the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Throughout the 1990s, over 7,000 volunteers cataloged and assessed the condition of over 30,000 publicly accessible statues, monuments, and sculptures installed as outdoor public art across the United States. In Vermont, the survey was sponsored by the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance from 1992-1993 where 110 volunteers surveyed 242 sculptures dating from 1740 to 1993. The archives from the project are maintained by the Vermont Historical Society.
