Optical materials, photonics and systems laboratory. The optical materials, photonics and systems laboratory (LMOPS) gathers researchers from Lorraine university and from CentraleSupélec,, in the cities of Metz, Saint-Avold and Thionville. The research themes lie in the fields of materials in general and optical materials more specifically, non linear optics, optical sensors and photovoltaics. Almost 30 researchers are working in the laboratory, side by side with roughly the same number of PhD students. The LMOPS was created in the year 2000, building from its ancestor, the Laboratoire Matériaux optiques à propriétés spécifiques, which belonged to the Metz university, which teamed with Supélec in 2000.

Whereabouts 
The LMOPS laboratory is spread over 4 cities:
 Its central part is situated in the Technopôle de Metz within the Metz campus of CentraleSupélec
 A second site in Metz is hosted by the Sciences fondamentales et appliquées Lorraine university unit, within the Institute for Material Physics and Chemistry
 the Saint-Avold site is hosted by the Institut universitaire de technologie de Moselle-Est, within the Lorraine university
  the Thionville site is hosted by the Institut universitaire de technologie de Thionville-Yutz within the Lorraine university.

Research teams 
The research activities within the LMOPS are structured through 4 research teams.
 The Functional Materials team deals with materials in general, particularly optical materials and polymers
 The Photonics team is mainly devoted to non linear optics
 The Raman sensors & Optical control team has a strong background in Raman spectroscopy
 The Photovoltaics team studies materials and systems for the harvesting of solar energy

Facilities 

The LMOPS laboratory can rely on many optical spectrometers. One of the team is specialized in Raman Spectroscopy and thus works with many kinds of Raman spectrometers. In the laboratory can also be found absorption spectrometers, as well as X fluorescence spectrometers.

The electrical characterization of materials and devices is also an important aspect of the LMOPS activities. Facilities are available for measuring current-voltage curves, as a function of temperature if necessary, for determining the charge carriers, and for measuringcapacity-voltage and impedance curves.

Finally, and omitting the many Laser sources which are always needed in such a laboratory, the LMOPS can rely on heavy equipment far actual material fabrication, such as ovens using the Czochralski process to grow bulk non linear crystals which are to be used for laser frequency doubling, as well as MOVPE equipments for the deposition of thin layers of semi-conductors. These heavy equipments are completed by a lightweight micro-pulling down crystalline fibre machine.

Alfred Charles Gardner. Alfred Charles Gardner FRSE  MICE MIME (1880–1952) was a British engineer. He designed vast station roofs and bridges for the Great Western Railway. In later life, he created the launch sites for  and  in the Clyde shipyards.

Life

He was born in Richmond, Surrey, on 4 October 1880 the son of Henry Charles Gardner and his wife Sarah. He was educated at the Vineyard School in Richmond then at the Polytechnic School of Engineering in London.

In 1898, he was apprenticed to the Thames Ironworks, Shipbuilding and Engineering Company based in Blackwall, London and served there until 1901. He then went to work for London County Council. His first major project was their Electricity Generating Station at Greenwich. Later in 1901, he became Assistant Engineer at the Great Western Railway. In 1907, he moved to the Great Central Railway as Steelwork Assistant. He later became Principal Bridge Assistant, responsible for building over 30 bridges. The most unusual of these was the bridge at Keadby (1916) at its time, the largest lifting bridge in Europe.

From 1918 onwards, he served as the Dock Engineer for Grimsby and Immingham, working for the London and North Eastern Railway Company. Here, he built the Corporation Bridge across the dock entrance (1928). In 1929, he was appointed Chief Engineer for the Clyde Navigation Trust, becoming responsible for works in Glasgow's extensive docks and the River Clyde. Here, he was responsible for Plantation Quay and Lancefield Quay. He laid the bases at Stobcross Quay in preparation for the Finnieston Crane.

He prepared the launch sites for both the  and , including necessary dredging of the Clyde to ensure space for these huge ships.

In 1933, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were A. H. Roberts, D McLellan, Sir Thomas Hudson Beare, David Alan Stevenson, D. Ronald, Edward Theodore Salvesen, and D. S. Stewart.

He retired in 1941. He died in Glasgow on 2 December 1952.

Family

In 1906, he divorced his wife, Ada Maria on grounds of her infidelity.

List of largest power stations in the United States. This article lists the largest electricity generating stations in the United States in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale, and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides, waves, and the wind.

Two related terms are used to describe electricity production:

 Generation—a measure of electricity produced over time. Most electric power plants use some of the electricity they produce to operate the power plant. Net generation excludes the electricity used for the operation of the power plant.
 Capacity—the maximum level of electric power (electricity) that a power plant can supply at a specific point in time under certain conditions.

The power generating facility with the largest power capacity (potential power production) is the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. The facility generates power by utilizing 27 Francis turbines and 6 pump-generators, with a total installed capacity of 7,079 MW. However, Grand Coulee Dam does not have the largest annual net generation due to a relatively low capacity factor.

The power generating facility with the largest annual net generation (actual electricity put out to the power grid) is Palo Verde in Arizona with 31,629,862 MWh in 2021. The second and third largest were Browns Ferry and Peach Bottom with 31,053,552 MWh and 22,268,244 MWh, respectively. All three of these are nuclear power plants, and eight of the top 10 power plants with the largest annual net generation in 2021 are nuclear power plants.

The largest power generating facility under construction is the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project in Wyoming, which will generate 2,500-3,000 MW when completed in 2026.

KS Steel. KS Steel is a permanent magnetic steel with three times the magnetic reluctance of tungsten steel, which was developed in 1917 by the Japanese scientist and inventor Kotaro Honda. "KS" stands for Kichizaemon Sumitomo, the head of the family-run conglomerate, who provided financial support for the research leading to KS Steel's invention. Honda would go on to invent NKS steel in 1933 whose magnetic resistance is several times higher than that of KS Steel.

History 
After World War one, when Japan had to cope with painful restrictions on imports of materials from foreign countries such as Germany, physicist Kotaro Honda was motivated to study alloys due to the need of a domestic steel production. He opened up his RIKEN-Honda Laboratory at Tohoku Imperial University in 1922 after he invented KS steel in 1917; it is a permanent magnetic steel with three times the magnetic resistance of tungsten steel. The initials KS in the name of the steel come from Kichizaemon Sumitomo, who was the head of the family that provided financial support for the research leading to the invention.

Material properties 
The composition of KS steel is 0.4–0.8 percent carbon; 30–40 percent cobalt; 5–9 percent tungsten; and 1.5–3 percent chromium. KS steel is best tempered when heated to 950 °C and then quenched in heavy oil. The residual magnetism is reduced by only 6 percent when artificially aged. The yield strength of KS steel is above 500 and tensile strength is above 620 and elongation is above 14. The maximum energy product (BH)max of KS steel is 30 kJ/m^3.

Chevrolet Motor Company Building. 

Description
The 1923 Chevrolet Motor Company Building is a 4-story Commercial Style concrete and brick building at 3221 Commerce Street, in a historically commercial and industrial area east of downtown Dallas, Texas. Designed by the Dallas firm Lang and Witchell and built by Hughes-O'Rourke Construction Co., the flat-roofed building features an expressed concrete structure separating wide window bays and red brick spandrels. Like many buildings in the area, the open, industrial plan of the Chevrolet Motor Company Building has recently been divided into apartments for residential reuse. With few exterior changes, the building retains a high degree of historic and architectural integrity.

Chevrolet remained in the building until 1935, and in 1936 the United States government operated a US Resettlement Administration office in the building that included Rural Resettlement Regional Office No. 8 and the District Finance Office. In 1939, the U.S. Department of Agriculture moved into the building. The agriculture department included the Resettlement Administration and the Farm Security Administration. The United States Treasury Department had their State Accounts Section in the building as well. Texas Rural Communities, Inc. also briefly had an office in the building.

WNF Wn 16. The WNF Wn 16 was an Austrian experimental aircraft built near the start of World War II to test a tricycle undercarriage.

Design

The WNF Wn 16, originally built as the Meindl-van Nes A.XV (aka Meindl M.15), was an Austrian experimental aircraft built in the late 1930s for tricycle undercarriage research. It was a swept wing tandem two-seater, with a pusher configuration engine and twin-boom fuselage.
Its cantilever low wing had straight edges and 18.33° of sweep at quarter chord.  The wing was in three parts, with a twin spar, steel tube framed centre section welded to the central fuselage which supported the tailbooms on its upper surfaces at their outer ends.  The ribs were also formed from steel tube.  The forward part of the centre section was plywood covered, with fabric aft. The outer wing panels were ply covered, each with a single wooden single spar. There was a split flap over the whole centre section trailing edge and slotted ailerons which filled the trailing edges of the outer panels.

The short fuselage was also a welded steel tube structure, alloy skinned front and rear but with a fabric covered central section that contained the tandem seats under a continuous, multi-framed canopy which merged into the rear fuselage. The Wn 16's  pusher configuration,  Salmson 9Ad nine cylinder radial engine was installed within a Townend ring cowling at the rear of the fuselage beyond the wing, driving a two blade propeller. The Wn 16 was later re-engined with a  Walter Mikron.

The Wn 16's tail-booms were wooden monocoques.  The rectangular tail-plane and elevator were on top of them, with oval vertical tails acting as end-plates; the fins had ply covered wooden frames and the rudders had fabric covered steel frames.

Its tricycle gear was fixed, all units with bungee cord shock absorbers. Both legs and wheels were enclosed in streamlined fairings. The nosewheel was steerable via the rudder pedals.

The Wn 16 flew for the first time on 23 September 1939. Development continued into World War II and the first flight with the Walter engine was on 7 August 1942.
