Society of Industrial Engineering. Junior Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers or JPIIE (former name: Society of Industrial Engineering) is an academic organization based in University of Perpetual Help System DALTA - Calamba Campus exclusive for BS Industrial Engineering students, faculty and alumni of the said university. It is one of the seven student organizations under the College of Engineering of the university which includes MES (Mechanical Engineering Society) for BS Mechanical Engineering students and ACES (Association of Civil Engineering Students) for BS Civil Engineering among others. The organization is also a member of PIIE (Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers), a premier organization of BS Industrial Engineering graduates and students, and IE professionals in the Philippines. Engr. Philip Ermita, PIE, ASEAN Engr. is the organization's adviser aside from being the Dean of College of Engineering in the university.

History 
The society was first recognized by the University and its former school director Mr. Rey Dalde in August 2002 with the efforts of its first student officers for AY 2002-2003 being headed by the former president, Ms. Maria Fe dela Cruz.
The society's by-laws was written by Ms. Cherryl C. Marudo. According to the by-laws, the name of the organization is Society of Industrial Engineering Students (or SIES). But, for some reasons, it became locally known as SIE (without the second S which means Students) probably because its name structure has been compared to the university's College of Engineering.
By the year 2016, the SIE renamed as the Junior Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers or JPIIE.

John Chaloner Smith. John Chaloner Smith (19 August 1827 – 13 March 1895) was an Irish civil engineer, remembered as collector of and writer on British mezzotints.

Life
Smith was born in Dublin in 1827. His father was a proctor of the ecclesiastical courts, and married a granddaughter of Travers Hartley, M.P. for Dublin in the Irish parliament. Chaloner Smith was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, in 1846, and in 1849 graduated B.A. He was articled to George Willoughby Hemans the engineer, and in 1857 was appointed engineer to the Waterford and Limerick Railway. In 1868 he took a similar position in the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway, and held it till 1894. He carried out some major extensions of the line, and was mainly responsible for the Loopline Bridge crossing the River Liffey, connecting the Great Northern and South-Eastern railways of Ireland.

He died at Bray, County Wicklow.

Works
His British Mezzotinto Portraits … with Biographical Notes (London, 1878–84, 4 pts.) consists of a full catalogue of plates executed before 1820, with 125 autotypes from plates in Smith's possession. The latter were also issued separately. This "remains the definitive catalogue of the subject". The print-room at the British Museum contains an interleaved copy with manuscript notes. Smith was a collector of engravings, principally mezzotints, which were sold after the completion of his book in sales between 1887 and 1896. Some 300 of them, especially those by Irish printmakers, were purchased for the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin through Sir Edward Guinness, and the British Museum bought 106.

Chaloner Smith took an interest in the financial relations between England and Ireland, and published pamphlets on the subject. Just before his death he was examined before the Royal Commission which was appointed to consider the question.

Gnome Omega. The Gnome 7 Omega (commonly called the Gnome 50 hp) is a French seven-cylinder, air-cooled aero engine produced by Gnome et Rhône. It was shown at the Paris Aero Salon held in December 1908 and was first flown in 1909. It was the world's first aviation rotary engine produced in quantity. Its introduction revolutionized the aviation industry and it was used by many early aircraft. It produced  from its  engine capacity. A Gnome Omega engine powers the 1912 Blackburn Monoplane, owned and operated by the Shuttleworth Collection, the oldest known airworthy British-designed aeroplane worldwide. A two-row version of the same engine was also produced, known as the Gnome 14 Omega-Omega or Gnome 100 hp. The prototype Omega engine still exists, and is on display at the United States' National Air and Space Museum.

Like all early Gnome et Rhône engines the Omega features a single pushrod driven exhaust valve on the cylinder head; the intake valve is located in the piston crown, opening by inertia on the downstroke and feeding the intake charge from the crankcase into the upper part of the cylinder. No throttle is provided, the pilot controls the aircraft's speed by switching off the ignition when necessary.

The shape of Falke was that of the Space Shuttle orbiter with a 1/5 scale factor. Falke had its own power, an autopilot and a computer to control the hydraulically actuated flight control surfaces of the spaceplane.

The sensor suite of Falke was measuring attitude, temperature, flux, pressure and acceleration.

CNES was tracking Falke by radar and telemetry.

Flight history
The only flight of Falke took place on September 6, 1990. French space agency CNES launched a stratospheric balloon from its Aire-sur-l'Adour center carrying Falke. After a 2 h 43 m ascent, Falke was released at an altitude of .

At the end of the flight, a parachute was deployed at an altitude of 6 km and Falke landed in horizontal position on airbags.

Outcome
Three further flights were planned, but they were cancelled when the European Space Agency cancelled Hermes.

Symbolic programming. In computer programming, symbolic programming is a programming paradigm in which the program can manipulate its own formulas and program components as if they were plain data.

Through symbolic programming, complex processes can be developed that build other more intricate processes by combining smaller units of logic or functionality.  Thus, such programs can effectively modify themselves and appear to "learn", which makes them better suited for applications such as artificial intelligence, expert systems, natural language processing, and computer games.

Languages that support symbolic programming include homoiconic languages such as Wolfram Language, Lisp, Prolog, and Julia.

Aeronautical Technical Institute. Aeronautical Technical Institute () was a Yugoslav design bureau for aeronautical research and design of military aircraft. It was established on August 10, 1946, by an order of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Yugoslavia, and was located in Žarkovo, Belgrade. It existed from 1946 to 1992 and was responsible for the design of the majority of Yugoslav military aircraft. Aircraft designed by the institute include the J-20 Kraguj, the G-2 Galeb, the G-4 Super Galeb, the J-22 Orao, the Lasta and the (cancelled) Novi Avion.

After the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), the Aeronautical Technical Institute was dissolved and assimilated into the Military Technical Institute (; abbr. ) in an effort to reduce developing cost and maintenance since both institutes were on Belgrade district territory. Some have characterized this assimilation as having a detrimental effect on the quality and volume of aeronautics-related research and development conducted thereafter in VTI.

Aircraft designed by Aeronautical Technical Institute were produced by manufacturers such as SOKO (Mostar) and Utva Aviation Industry (Pančevo).

Currently active aircraft programs in Military Technical Institute are Lasta 95 trainer and Kobac counter-insurgency aircraft, both the derivatives of Lasta.

Glasair Sportsman 2+2. The Glasair Sportsman 2+2 is a single-engine, high wing, strut-braced, four seat kit aircraft, developed by the Glasair Aviation company.

Design and development
The Sportsman 2+2 was developed from the company's Glastar aircraft, a smaller version. The company's "Two Weeks to Taxi" program provides factory-assisted assembly, while providing the owner with training in using tools and jigs. This complies with the Federal Aviation Administration's 51% construction rule, allowing issuance of a Special Certificate of Airworthiness as an amateur-built aircraft.

The aircraft can be fitted with tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and can also be equipped with floats and amphibious floats or tundra tires. The completed aircraft can be switched between any of the three landing gear configurations. 

The aircraft is constructed with a fiberglass fuselage, or optionally from carbon fiber, with all metal wings and horizontal stabilizer and elevator. The airplane is available with a Lycoming IO-360 engine or a  Lycoming IO-390 engine with an optional constant speed propeller. or with a 155 hp (114 kW) Continental CD-155 diesel engine that is certified to run on either diesel or jet fuel.

Citing a decline in sales and high manufacturing costs, the company announced in July 2023 that production would move from Washington in the USA, to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, China. A new production facility is being constructed which has also put a pause on new builds until the factory is completed in two years' time. Orders already placed and builds that are currently in progress will be finished in Washington, with all new orders being produced in the Chinese factory once construction is complete. According to an email sent to their customer database, Glasair technical support will continue to be US-based. It is unclear if the company's "Two-Weeks To Taxi" program will remain in place or if the plane will be offered solely as a kit.

Variants
Glasair Sportsman 2+2 Diesel
A Thielert Centurion 2.0s powered variant.

Carbon Sportsman
A variant with the fuselage constructed of carbon fiber rather than fiberglass. The weight savings of carbon fiber are negated by heavier duty cage, wing struts, and wing skins; both variants have the same empty weight, but the carbon variant gross weight is increased by 150 lb.

Dimadis-Kanakis. Dimadis-Kanakis (since 1986 Kanakis E.P.E.) is a historic Greek engine and metal products manufacturer, based in Volos. It was founded in 1920 by Pavlos Dimadis and Ioannis Kanakis, initially focusing on engine repair and rebuilding. In 1926 the company developed and produced its first semi-diesel engines (10-60 hp, mostly for boat power). Soon an extended range of engine models, up to 120 hp, was developed and the company became one of the best known Greek engine makers, mostly remembered for the reliability of its products. Some exports were also made.

Since 1952 focus shifted to metal products and in 1986 Dimadis-Kanakis was reorganized as Kanakis E.P.E. As of 2010 the company, one of the few historic mechanical engineering companies of Volos that had survived the crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, faced severe financial problems.
