Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Center. Turkish Space Systems, Integration and Test Centre () (USET) is a spacecraft production and testing facility owned by the Ministry of National Defence and operated by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). It is located in Ankara, Turkey. The facility's official inauguration took place on May 21, 2015, in presence of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Considered as a critical infrastructure, the centre was established within the framework of the Göktürk-1 project, which started in 2009, for the indigenous realization of satellite assembly, as well as for qualification and acceptance testing from design to launch phase. It was the product of an agreement between the Turkish Ministry of National Defence and the multinational space services company Telespazio in 2010. Situated within TAI's grounds in the Kazan district of Ankara Province, the budgeted cost of the facility is US$100 million.

USET is a technology centre, at which all satellites up to  mass can be assembled and tested in simulated space environmental conditions related to the orbit. Two satellites can be produced and tested simultaneously. The centre serves military and civilian institutions.

Development of the Türksat series communication satellites, starting with Türksat 5A, and Göktürk series Earth observation satellites, will be carried out by Turkish engineers at this site.

At the end of November 2014, it was announced that the construction of the facility was completed, and the centre was put into operation. The centre's Class 100,000 clean rooms cover an area of around . It is capable of the assembly, integration and testing of several satellites of type low Earth orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous orbit (GEO) with a mass up to five tonnes simultaneously. It has a direct connection to the airbase so that a transport by land becomes needless, offering advantages of security, economy and risk management.

The centre has the following capabilities:
 thermal vacuum tests,
 EMI/EMC tests,
 compact antenna measurement range (CATR) tests,
 solar array deployment tests,
 vibration tests,
 mass properties measurement,
 acoustic tests, and
 MLI preparation.

The advanced integration and environmental tests of Göktürk-1 is the first project to be carried out in the centre. After completion, the satellite will be sent to the launch site by TUSAŞ.

Light tower (equipment). A light tower is a piece of mobile equipment which has one or more high-intensity electric lamps and a mast. Almost always, the lights are attached to the mast, which is attached to a trailer, with a generator set to power the lamps. Normally the lamps are metal halide bulbs and the generator is powered by a diesel engine. However, battery-powered, solar-powered and hydrogen-powered sets are available; light towers with electrodeless lamps lighting are also sold. Modular kits permit separation of the generator set, trailer, lights and mast from each other. Another variation is an inflatable mast. Particularly when an inflatable mast is used, the lights may be placed close to the ground, with a reflector attached to the mast. When soft lighting is wanted, an inflatable "balloon" diffuser may be used. An inflatable mast may serve as a diffuser.

Light towers are used when illumination is required but not otherwise available, both outdoor and indoor, usually temporarily. Example activities are construction, mining, motion picture production, demolition, emergency services, sport or agricultural sectors.

Partnerized inventory management. Partner-optimized inventory management, also known as partnerized inventory management or sometimes just the abbreviation PIM is an inventory management technique or model often used in deterministic inventory systems in which a significant portion of the total inventory regularly becomes stochastic in nature, due to slowing and/or low demand such as is typical in heavy machinery and construction equipment where the products themselves are extremely durable and have long lives in the field. Inventory in these cases needs to be maintained for an extended time to allow for repairs and product support perhaps as much as two or more decades after a manufacturer has ceased production.

Traditional inventory management techniques break down in cases where a manufacturer maintains inventory to supply future maintenance of their in-service equipment. As demand for goods approaches zero, liquidation of inventory is indicated in most revenue management models. Zero inventory to service products in the field, however, fails the organization in other business areas. Possible costs to manufacture replacement inventory and the harder-to-calculate costs of customer confidence erosion can be greater over time than the immediate financial concerns that are remedied by liquidating inventory entirely by scrapping or discarding it as waste.

While scrapping returns inventory to a state of raw materials, Partner-Optimized Inventory Management (PIM) returns inventory to the market as intermediate goods to be used in production of other goods or non-capital spare parts. An organization that uses the PIM model mitigates the immediate pinch point caused by inventory reduction by retaining as-needed mutual access to inventory through the marketplace for an indeterminate time rather than losing access immediately and irrevocably through scrapping or discarding the inventory as waste.

Ghassed. The Ghassed  is a family of guided bombs and missiles developed by Iran.

It is a highly accurate rocket-boosted smart bomb with a range of  and a  warhead, enabling Iranian Air Force to strike HVTs .

Overview

The Ghassed was designed in accordance with the needs of the Iranian Air Force to strategic arsenals and bombs. Once Ghassed is deployed, Iranian fighter jets can destroy enemy targets by this high-precision bomb without coming into the range of enemy fire. The Ghassed is a powered air-to-surface missile designed for strikes at long range against various targets. It is a rocket-boosted version of the MK-84 bomb, with the rocket motor increasing the launch range and so giving the launch aircraft protection from whatever defenses may protect the target. Ghassed can be deployed by Iran's F-4 and F-5 fighter jets.

A TV/IR-guided bomb has either a conventional television video camera or an infrared camera (for night vision) mounted to its nose. In remote-operation mode, the controller relays information through radio signals to a human operator, who is usually on board the bomber plane. The remote operator relays commands to the control system to steer the bomb through the air—the bomb acts something like a remote-control plane. In this mode, the operator may launch the bomb without a specific target and sight, and then pick up the target from the video as the bomb gets closer to the ground.

Valdis Krebs. Valdis Krebs is an American-Latvian researcher, author, and consultant in the field of social and
organizational network analysis. He is the founder and chief scientist of OrgNet, LLC, and the creator of InFlow software, which in 2008 Wired Magazine called one of the most advanced tools 
for analyzing and visualizing networks. Popular Science has described Krebs as a "leading expert" and a "pioneer" of network analysis, while Military.com's DefenseTech blog has called him a leading authority in the field.

Work highlights
After the September 11 attacks, Krebs used public information and newspaper clippings to produce a partial map of the organization behind the attacks. 
The resulting paper, Uncloaking Terrorist Networks, has been called a classic, and "likely the most cited public analysis of the 9/11 network."
After publishing it, he was "invited to Washington to brief intelligence contractors."

Since 2004 Krebs has periodically published infographics showing the political polarization of American book-buying patterns. 
He has claimed that the web leads people to narrower, more extreme viewpoints (similar to the "bubble effect"), and suggests cultivating diversity
in social networks,
a process he calls "network weaving".

Krebs has used social network maps to provide evidence of corruption, 
help a non-profit group prosecute a slumlord conspiracy, 
and visualize the "ecosystem" of fraud in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme scandal. 
He has also consulted for corporate clients including IBM and Google.

Bicycle Technologies International. Bicycle Technologies International Ltd (BTI) is an American-based company which specialises in the distribution of bicycle parts and accessories. The headquarters are located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States.

History
BTI's first wholesale catalog, also released in 1993, was a twenty four page newsprint flyer with hand-illustrated schematic drawings of every major fork design. From the beginning, BTI fostered a close relationship with early suspension manufacturers, offering a full line of replacement components. Today BTI provides suspension repair, tuning and other authorized warranty center services for 18 major brands.

By 1996, the company was looking for a more central location from where they could serve dealers on both coasts. With the help of friends the young company packed up its inventory and relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Over time, BTI expanded its selection with more shop essentials covering every aspect of the modern bicycle. BTI now stocks over 22,000 unique SKUs from nearly 300 brands.

New Facility
In June 2012, BTI publicly unveiled its plans for a new facility. The company announced plans to make a significant investment in a new 47,500 square foot building that will expand the current warehouse operation and will bring two other facilities back under one roof. New Mexico.Gov. Susana Martinez spoke at the event, praising BTI for creating quality jobs in the state. Santa Fe City Councilwoman Rebecca Wurzberger said BTI was the type of locally grown, green company that Santa Fe wants to attract not only for job creation, but for community building activities as well. She cited BTI's role in organizing the 2012 IMBA World Summit in Santa Fe as an example.

Situated on a recently purchased plot of land 5 miles from the current warehouse, BTI's new facility will be the anchor tenant for a new master plan employment zone located next to the Santa Fe Community College and near Rancho Viejo. Architectural plans for this site have been completed by Dekker/Parich/ Sabatini Architects. Klinger Constructors LLC has been contracted to undertake construction upon BTI's acquisition of the property.

Underground Test Facility. The Underground Test Facility (UTF) site is located approximately 60 km northwest of Fort McMurray.

In the 1980s, Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) initiated an extensive program to evaluate horizontal well recovery processes for Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) deep oil recovery from shafts and tunnels (Shaft and Tunnel Access Concept – SATAC. The SAGD process which developed in the late 1980s included drilling wells in pairs with the producer at the base of the reservoir and the steam injector from the above. The top well injects heat into the reservoir to form a steam chamber and makes the bitumen more liquid which then drains to the production well. The UTF site contains an oil reservoir 20 meters thick. It was determined that these reserves could be mined from tunnels in the limestone below the pay zone using SAGD.
