Denning Manufacturing. Denning Manufacturing is an Australian bus manufacturer in Acacia Ridge, Brisbane, Australia. In September 2019, it was acquired by Custom Bus, but its branding and operations will be retained.

Current Operations
Denning Manufacturing was formed in 2004 in a take-over of Alan B Denning's manufacturing plant.  It manufacturers integral buses and coaches (chassis and body) as well as chassis for bodying by other manufacturers with Caterpillar or Cummins engines.

History

Denning

Denning commenced bodying buses in Brisbane in 1958.  Denning's first integral bus (both chassis and body), the Monocoach, was launched in 1966.  Along with the later Denair and Landseer, it would become the dominant long-distance coach in Australia.

In 1968, Denning was sold to Leyland Australia.  Between 1968 and 1970 it bodied 136 Leyland Panthers for the Brisbane City Council.

In 1970, a plant was opened in Beverley, South Australia to body 292 AEC Swift 691s for the Municipal Tramways Trust in Adelaide.  Some monocoaches were built there before the plant closed in August 1974.  In 1979, Denning coaches began to be assembled under licence in New Zealand by the Mount Cook Group.

In December 1988, Leyland Australia (by now renamed JRA Limited) purchased Denning's biggest competitor in the coach market, Austral from AP Group. Both continued to operate separately until 1990 when the Denning plant in Acacia Ridge was closed and production transferred to the Austral facility in Geebung.

Alan B Denning Co.

The Alan B Denning Co. commenced operations supplying body kits for buses assembled in Asia, primarily on Mercedes-Benz chassis in 1994.  In February 1995 it began bodying buses and coaches for Australian operators.  The company was placed in administration in November 2003 with the plant subsequently being purchased by Denning Manufacturing. The business was successfully operated up until its sale to the Dunn Group, in 2019.

URMV-3 IS-2. The IS-2 was an intermediate training glider designed by Iosif Şilimon and built in Romania in the 1950s at the URMV-3 (Rom: Uzinele de Reparatii Material Volant-3 - Glider repair and manufacture factory) factory at Brașov.

Design and development
The IS-2 was designed as an intermediate training glider. Construction was largely of wood with fabric and plywood skinning, similar o the Grunau Baby pre-war German glider. Very little is known of the IS-2s development or operational history. Of conventional configuration with high-set cantilever wings and cruciform tail-unit, the IS-2 was also flown with an increased span wing.

Lesnoy Dozor. Lesnoy Dozor (Russian: Лесной Дозор, literally, "Forest Watch") is a project for the online and offline observation of wooded areas and early detection of forest fires. The project was supported by the Russian "Silicon Valley", the Skolkovo innovation center, and Rostec. 10 scientific start-ups worked on the program.

The system was developed and implemented by DiSiCon LLC – a scientific company.

Architecture
Various types of sensors (video and infrared cameras, thermal observation devices, etc.) are placed on towers (fire detection or mobile radio towers) with a power supply. They are controlled via the Internet and provide rotation, digital zoom and videotape recording. One operator can control about 10 sensors.

Recognition
On 7 July 2011 the system was presented to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at an international educational forum Seliger, who gave his official support. The system covers 20 regions of Russia.

URMV-3 IS-4. The IS-4 was a high performance glider designed by Iosif Şilimon and built in Romania in the late 1950s at the URMV-3 (Rom: Uzinele de Reparatii Material Volant-3 - Glider repair and manufacture factory) factory at Braşov.

Design and development
The IS-4 high-performance glider followed the layout of the earlier IS-3d, constructed largely of wood with plywood and fabric skinning. The high-set cantilever wings with moderate dihedral (2º 30') were built with a single main spar with a plywood covered leading edge torsion box. The ovoid section fuselage was of monocoque construction with plywood skin with a streamlined full-length cockpit canopy forward of the wings. The undercarriage consisted of a balloon main-wheel with nose and tail skids. Flying controls were largely conventional with plywood skinned fixed portions and fabric covered wooden built up movable surfaces. Pitch trim was achieved by a trim tab on the elevators and adverse yaw was alleviated through the use of differential ailerons.

Very little is known of the IS-4s development or operational history.

WAGR B class. The WAGR B class was a class of 4-6-0T tank locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) between 1884 and 1959.

History
The first two were ordered from Kitson & Co, Leeds in 1884 to work the steeply graded Eastern Railway from Guildford to Chidlow. A further three were built by Dübs & Co, Glasgow in 1885/86 and a further six by Kitson & Co in 1898. The last batch were built with larger water tanks, with the earlier five having larger tanks retrofitted. In 1903, they were displaced by the K class and relegated to shunting duties.

Class list
The numbers and periods in service of each member of the B class were as follows:

Namesake
The B class designation was reused in the 1960s when the B class diesel locomotives entered service.

Vino (operating system). Vino was a project at Harvard University that sought to develop an extensible-kernel operating system based on NetBSD. The project is now inactive. 

There is also a current project named Vino hosted on CodePlex that seeks to develop a Java-based operating system similar in concept to the legacy JavaOS.

Vino Group at Harvard
During the 1990s, a Vino Group within the Harvard School of Engineering worked to develop an "extensible" Unix-like operating system. According to the project's main web page:

"The VINO OS project at Harvard is an extensible operating system. This means that application software, running with the privileges of an ordinary user, can provide extensions to operating system (specifically, operating system kernel) functionality. More importantly, this can be done both safely and reasonably securely, and also efficiently; efficiently enough to make it worthwhile".

In essence, Vino was a fork of and ran on the same Intel 486 hardware platform as NetBSD did at that time. Two alpha versions of Vino were released (under a "BSD-like" license) — 0.40 in December, 1997, and 0.50 in December, 1998. That software and its companion documentation are currently available from the Systems Research at Harvard (SYRAH) Group, which also maintains the Vino web pages.

Weymann W-1. The Weymann W-1 was a French single seat biplane fighter aircraft, built during World War I. It had a most unusual layout, with an engine buried in the fuselage driving a pusher configuration propeller behind a cruciform tail. It was not successful and soon abandoned.

Design
Apart from its rear mounted pusher propeller, shaft driven from a centrally mounted engine, the W-1 was unusual in other respects. It was an all-metal aircraft; a single bay biplane with constant chord, equal span, unswept and unstaggered wings, braced by parallel interplane struts assisted by flying wires. There were ailerons on both upper and lower planes, externally connected.

The deep, flat sided and flat topped fuselage entirely filled the interwing space, with the pilot's open cockpit immediately level with and ahead of the upper wing leading edge. He had twin machine guns faired into the upper surface ahead of him and, beyond, a smooth, rounded nose.  The absence of engine and propeller gave him a good forward view and avoided the need for engine-gun synchronisation.  The engine was behind him at the aircraft's centre of gravity (cg), totally enclosed within the fuselage. An intake into the underside of the fuselage immediately below the cockpit provided cooling air for the  Clerget 7Z rotary engine, which had an exhaust in the upper fuselage.  The fuselage tapered both in height and width to the tail, where the tailplane and split elevators were mounted on its upper surface. The upper fin and rudder was quite short but the lower part extended well below the lower wing in level flight. All the tail surfaces had curved leading edges; the two blade propeller was immediately behind their straight trailing edges.

The W-1's undercarriage was also unusual. Though the mainwheels were conventionally positioned close to the cg and mounted on a rigid single axle attached to the fuselage by a pair of V-struts, it had a nosewheel of about the same diameter; unlike that of modern tricycle gear it was well above the ground when the aircraft was in the level flight position.  On the ground the W-1 rested level on its mainwheels and a tailskid on the tall lower fin.

The W-1 made only two short test flights, the first in the autumn of 1915, which revealed severe and ultimately insurmountable cooling problem with the buried engine. The development programme was abandoned in December 1915.

Superior (bus manufacturer). Superior Industries was an Australian bus body builder in Brendale, Brisbane.

History
Superior Industries were a builder of truck and ambulance bodies in Virginia that in 1966 diversified into bus body building. In the late 1960s a large number of Leyland Leopards and in the mid-1980s some Leyland Tigers were bodied, but most bodies were mostly constructed on lighter chassis from Bedford and Ford and later Hino and Mercedes-Benz.

In 1980 Superior moved to a new factory in Brendale. Superior ceased trading in 1996 by which time it had bodied about 450 buses.

Lugcentrokuz. Lugcentrokuz (, lit. Lugansk Central Forging Factory) is a Ukrainian rail transport industrial company headquartered in Luhansk. It was established as an independent company, based on the separated press forging department of Luhanskteplovoz locomotive factory in 1991.

According to Ukrainian media the company had stopped operating by April 2015 due to the war in Donbas and Luhansk being in control of the Luhansk People's Republic. According to local media the company employed 945 people in 2020.

History 

Lugcentrokuz is one of the various companies founded from the existing steam locomotive factory in Luhansk that was built by the German entrepreneur . A steam forge was one of its first departments.

During the period of Soviet Ukraine (1919-1991), the future Lugcentrokuz was a department of the Luhansk locomotive factory, then known as the October Revolution Locomotive Factory.

An extensive rebuild of the Luhansk factory was undertaken during 1928–1933 by the construction board, Luhanbud, during which the present company's central premises were reconstructed.

During the 1970s, the Luhansk locomotive factory produced up to 1500 locomotive units a year, 96% of which were main-line diesels.

The majority of Lugcentrokuz's exports went to Eastern Germany, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Egypt, Syria, India, Iran, Mongolia, North Korea and Cuba. Altogether, a total of 4000 main-line diesel locomotives were exported to countries outside of the Soviet Union.

Present day 
After Ukrainian Independence in 1991, a separate company under the name of "Luhansk Central Forging Factory" was founded, based on the press forging department. In 1992, it gained its current name.

During the next several years, several new manufacturing techniques were introduced, which included electric arc steel furnacing, die manufacturing, mechanical assembling, leaf spring manufacturing and a testing center.

In 2013 the company exported to the following countries:
Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Zambia, India, Indonesia, Spain, Kazakhstan, Canada, China, Germany, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Finland, Czech Republic and Switzerland.

In April 2015 Ukrayinska Pravda reported the company had stopped operating due to the war in Donbas and Luhansk being in control of the Luhansk People's Republic. According to local newspaper  the company employed 945 people in 2020. In July 2019 CEO Alexander Miroshnikov claimed that 88% of its products were sold to Russia and the remaining 12% to Germany, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Slovakia. Miroshnikov also stated that the company had "completely reoriented exports to Russia and the EU since 2014, so it will not return to the Ukrainian market, even if Kyiv lifts the economic blockade of Donbass."

Alexander Keiller (businessman). Alexander Keiller (1 July 1804, Dundee – 27 March 1874 Gothenburg) was a Scottish businessman active in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Keiller arrived in Gothenburg in 1825, on account of the Keiller family's timber business in Sweden. Three years later he started a mill for machine spinning of flax and hemp, along with his compatriot William Gibson. This enterprise was shut down in 1839.

In 1841 Keiller opened a heavy engineering plant in Gothenburg, as a private company. In 1867 Keiller floated Göteborgs Mekaniska Verkstad on the stock exchange, and a year later he retired completely from the workshops. He died in Gothenburg on 27 March 1874 .

He was the father of James Keiller who in 1906 donated the area around Ramberget to Gothenburg city which here had built Keillers park.

Thomas-Morse TM-24. The Thomas-Morse TM-24 was a prototype American two-seat observation aircraft of the 1920s. A single example was built in 1925, but no production followed.

Design and development
Thomas-Morse Aircraft had decided to specialize in all-metal aircraft after it lost an order for 200 MB-3 fighters to Boeing, who had offered a much lower bid. Thomas Morse's chief designer, B. Douglas Thomas produced a series of all-metal aircraft, flying the unsuccessful MB-9 fighter and MB-10 trainer in 1921, and selling two R-5 racing aircraft to the United States Army Air Service in 1922. In 1924, Thomas-Morse flew the TM-23, a single-seat biplane fighter, which was again a failure.  Despite undergoing major redesign in an attempt to improve performance and handling it failed to obtain any orders.

In 1924, Thomas designed a single-engined two-seat observation aircraft, the TM-24, in a further attempt to find success with all-metal construction. In an attempt to improve maneuverability, the TM-24 had a short fuselage, with the aircraft being little longer than the single-seat TM-23. Like the TM-23, the TM-24's fuselage was covered in corrugated aluminum skin. The crew of two sat in separate tandem cockpits. The upper wing was much smaller than the lower wing, having a wingspan 5 feet shorter.  The wings were braced by a single "N"-strut and an inverted "V"-strut on each side. Additional auxiliary tail surfaces were mounted on the aircraft's fin, above the main tailplane, which acted as trim tabs. The aircraft was powered by a  Curtiss D12 water-cooled V12 engine driving a two-bladed propeller and cooled by radiators located in fairings in the lower wing-roots.

The TM-24 flew in early 1925.  It was delivered to McCook Field for testing by the Army Air Service in February that year. While testing indicated that performance was good, the aircraft's landing speed was considered too high, and its rudder was masked if the observer stood up in his cockpit to use his machine gun.  The TM-24 was also considered frail by the testers. Further development was abandoned and the prototype was dismantled at McCook Field.  Thomas-Morse lost $46,000 on the project.

Eureqa. Eureqa was a proprietary modeling engine created in Cornell's Artificial Intelligence Lab and later commercialized by Nutonian, Inc. The software used genetic algorithms to determine mathematical equations that describe sets of data in their simplest form, a technique referred to as symbolic regression.

Origin and development 
Since the 1970s, the primary way companies had performed data science was to hire data scientists and equip them with tools like R, Python, SAS, and SQL to execute predictive and statistical modeling. In 2007 Michael Schmidt, then a PhD student in Computational Biology at Cornell, along with his advisor Hod Lipson, developed Eureqa to help automate the curve fitting work of data scientists by creating a tool that would automatically search for the "best" mathematical model to fit a given dataset (where best is defined as the simplest model that can be found to achieve a given level of fit to the data).

In November 2009 the program was made available to download as freeware. Lipson described the tool's benefit as dealing with fields that are overwhelmed with data but lack theory to explain it. In the October 2011 edition of "Physical Biology", Lipson described a yeast experiment that predicted seven known equations. This took place after Lipson had asked scientists from different disciplines to share their work to test Eureqa's versatility.

Technology 
Eureqa worked by creating random equations with the data through evolutionary search. Initial guesses might not fit the data well but some of the equations will fit better than others and those will be used as the basis for the next round of guesses until the fit cannot be further improved.

Reception and use 
Over 80,000 users downloaded the program. People used the application for many uses including analyzing the herding of cattle and modeling the behavior of the stock market.

In 2017 Nutonian was acquired by DataRobot and Eureqa merged into their payware portfolio.
