Ekoa. Ekoa is a natural biocomposite of flax  available in dry fabrics and pre-pregs, as well as cores and resins. Ekoa can be used for a variety of applications,  including the production of musical instruments like the ukulele and guitar, and the manufacturing of sports equipment such as bicycle frames and lacrosse sticks.

History
Ekoa was initially developed by Blackbird Guitars, a company that has made musical instruments out of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, but started working on a biobased composite material that would work well for musical instruments. Blackbird worked with Entropy Resins to develop Ekoa, and released the first production musical instrument in 2013. Joe Luttwak of Blackbird and  Desi Banatao of Entropy formed a separate company, Lingrove, LLC, to further develop Ekoa and expand applications. Luttwak filed for a patent for "METHOD FOR MAKING LIGHT AND STIFF PANELS AND STRUCTURES USING NATURAL FIBER COMPOSITES" on November 18, 2014, which was given A1 Kind Code status on May 15, 2015. Lingrove filed "Ekoa" as a registered trademark on November 12, 2013. The trademark was registered on February 3, 2015. The trademark is registered under two separate classes: 015 - Musical instruments, and 024 - Textiles and textile goods, not included in other classes; bed and table covers.

Applications
Ekoa was initially developed to combine the tone of wooden instruments with the durability of a composite instrument. Previously, composite instruments had been made with carbon fiber, glass fiber, or aluminum to achieve durability, but these materials did not have the same tonality of wood. To address this, Ekoa utilizes flax fibers and produces a tone more like wood. The first musical instrument product made of Ekoa was the Blackbird Clara concert ukulele, which has won a variety of awards in the composites industry, including at The Composites And Advanced Material Expo (CAMX), JEC Americas, and Industrial Designers Society of America's IDEA Award. Blackbird later introduced the El Capitan guitar model, also made with Ekoa.

For sports equipment, RockWest Composites has produced a bicycle frame in conjunction with Calfee, as well as a lacrosse stick with a hexagonal shape core wrapped in Ekoa twill.

DBGp. Common DeBugGer Protocol as used by Xdebug and potentially other implementations. DBGp is a simple protocol for use with language tools and engines for the purpose of debugging applications.
The protocol provides a means of communication between a debugger engine (scripting engine, Virtual Machine, etc.) and a debugger IDE.

Criticisms

DBGp has not received widespread adoption as a server protocol. Most implementations are client-side so that IDEs may be compatible specifically with Xdebug, which remains popular.

Criticisms have included:
 Performance (DBGp is a text-mode protocol)
 Security (DBGp has a complex connection mechanism that could lead to buggy vulnerable implementations)
 Generality (DBGp is designed to be compatible with multiple programming languages rather than being optimized for PHP)

A primary author of the DBGp specification has defended the design.

PowerCube. The PowerCube is a multiple electrical socket adaptor manufactured by the Allocacoc Corporation in Shanghai, China. Unlike a conventional power strip, the device is arranged like a cube, which can solve the problem of multiple AC adapters fighting for space.

History
The PowerCube was created by two graduates of industrial design engineering at the Delft University of Technology (TU) in the Netherlands. They noticed that people had problems using conventional multi-socket adaptors and started a company, Allocacoc in 2011, to produce an alternative.

Features
The PowerCube is a cubic shaped power socket equipped with multiple sockets. This allows differently shaped AC adapters to be plugged in next to each other, which is not necessarily possible on a conventional powerboard due to shape and geometry. A typical scenario may be a laptop, a tablet computer and multiple smartphones charging simultaneously. The device is available in several different modules, including an optional extension cord and USB outlet, and catering for the target country's appropriate power supply.

Several magazines criticised the PowerCube for its lack of a suitable surge protection, noting that the device has been manufactured solely for convenience.
This issue has been addressed and surge protection is now offered in the PowerCube Range, 2016.

Awards

The PowerCube has won several awards:
 The PowerExtension was in the MKB Innovation top 100  at the fifth place in 2014
 Red Dot Design Award 2014
 GIO acknowledgement for good industrial design 2015
 CITE (China Information Technology Expo) award 2015

Lights...Camera...Action! (pinball). Lights...Camera...Action! is a pinball machine designed by Jon Norris and released by Gottlieb in 1989. The game features a movie making show business theme.

Description
There are five movie scenes which need to be completed - the gunfight scene, the multiball scene, the stair scene, the jackpot scene, and the stunt scene.

Lights...Camera...Action! was pinball’s first mode based game. It is based on Gottlieb's system 3, since system 80B could not handle its demands. The design was originally a card game. The spinner draw card feature was retained, but the rest of the pinball machine rules were adapted rules from the cancelled pinball machine Red Alert.

The pinball machine has a mechanical backbox animation in which handguns raised in a draw. The mode starts when the ball falls in top hole. The player has to press the right flipper to beat the villain. At the top of the backbox are colored floodlights. The upper left of the playfield contains a rotating mini-playfield.

Digital versions
Lights...Camera...Action! is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for several platforms.

Nanolamination. Nanolamination is the production of materials that are fully dense, ultra-fine grained solids that exhibit a high concentration of interface defects. The properties of fabricated nanolaminates depend on their compositions and thicknesses.

Production 

Nanolaminates can be grown using atom-by-atom deposition techniques that are designed with different stacking sequences and layer thicknesses.

Electrolytic reduction 

Electrolytic reduction allows the production of metals and metal alloys in sub-μm-thick layers. It can be employed to create alloys with properties such as improved toughness, strength, thermal properties and corrosion that are a function of the interfaces in the nanolayers. They can be created using a bath containing multiple metal ion elements. By changing the current at precise moments to select a different element, it can create a layered structure. Coatings of up to a centimeter thick have been created.

It is claimed to offer the benefits of high-cost materials at much lower costs, because such materials can coat lower-cost materials that have other necessary properties such as strength.

Commercial production was introduced in the 2010s by a new company named Modumetal.

Atomic layer deposition 

Many hybrid thin film oxides can be created using atomic layer deposition (ALD) with unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties. For example, a rough oxide layer can be further coated with a smooth oxide layer to provide a required surface texture. Properties may also depend on deposition temperature and the stratum to which the nanolaminate is applied.

Performance 

In autoclave testing, some nanolaminated alloys have shown 8 times the resistance of carbon steels to degradation and in some cases, no measurable degradation.

Applications 

Application include those that take advantage of enhanced mechanical properties or for devices such as energy storage and memory storage capacitors.

Oil and gas 

Corrosion-resistant, structural tubulars and casings are important infrastructure assets in the oil and gas industry. Tubulars and casings are subject to aggressive well conditions, serving to permit operations across extreme formation and production pressure differentials, in high temperatures and in highly corrosive environments that contain hydrogen sulfide (), carbon dioxide () and chlorides.

Modumetal produces pumps, valves and tubulars that for launch customers. The products are claimed to offer corrosion and wear protection through a durable, high toughness, nanolaminated metal alloy cladding.

Electronics 

Nanolaminate dielectrics can have efficient dielectric constant and high insulation characteristics. Dielectric materials with giant dielectric constants can be fabricated as modified single, binary and perovskite oxides.
