Karl Wilfert. Karl Wilfert (1 July 1907, Vienna – 8 March 1976) was chief of car body development at Daimler Benz AG between 1959 and 1976.

When he died he was recently, and reluctantly, retired. “I still have so many ideas…”
 
He was born in Vienna, the son of an architect, and one of a creative generation of Austrian engineers to whom the early development of the European auto industry was much indebted.   He started out as a development engineer with Steyr in 1926, moving in 1929 to work with the Mercedes-Benz Vienna branch, from where he relocated to the Mercedes Sindelfingen plant:  here, from 1933, he headed up the Research department.   In 1955 he switched to the design department, becoming director for car body development in 1959 at a time when the company was embarking on a period of intensive research into improving secondary safety – protecting the occupants of cars involved in accidents.   His influence was especially evident in the designs of the SL sports cars, first the 300SL Gullwing and more recently the pagoda topped 230 SL.

Trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide. Trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide or triflyl azide  is an organic azide used as a reagent in organic synthesis.

Preparation
Trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide is prepared by treating trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride with sodium azide, traditionally in dichloromethane. However, the use of dichloromethane is avoided since it can generate highly explosive azido-chloromethane and diazidomethane. The reaction may also instead be conducted in toluene, acetonitrile, or pyridine.

 (Tf = )

An alternative route starts from imidazole-1-sulfonyl azide.

Reactions
Trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide generally converts amines to azides.

Columbia Aircraft Corporation. The Columbia Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer, which was active between 1927 and 1947.

History
Columbia Aircraft was founded in December 1927 by Charles A. Levine as chairman and the aircraft designer Giuseppe Mario Bellanca as president. The initial name used was Columbia Air Liners, Inc. The aircraft factory was established at Hempstead, New York. Levine hired pilots Bert Acosta, Eroll Boyd, John Wycliff Isemann, Burr Leyson, and Roger Q. Williams at $200 a week to perform a series of publicity record attempts for the company.

The most ambitious project for the company was the "Uncle Sam".  Main participant were John Carisi as motor expert, Edmond Chagniard, French designer and airplane constructor, and Alexander Kartveli as technical engineer from Georgia. The $250,000 prototype was brought to market at the height of the depression. It was sold at auction for $3,000 to pay back hangar rent. The "Uncle Sam" and two other Triads were destroyed shortly afterward in a Roosevelt Field hangar fire where 20 other aircraft were spared.

By 1941, the firm's title was Columbia Aircraft Corporation and the factory was located at Columbia Field near Valley Stream, Long Island.

From 1941, Columbia worked closely with Grumman Aircraft, undertaking the development and production of that company's military amphibian aircraft designs including the J2F Duck and the Columbia JL. The chief test pilot for the amphibians was noted aviator Lieutenant Johnny Miller.

After the completion of wartime contracts for the United States Navy, the firm's operations reduced in scale and Columbia was acquired by Commonwealth Aircraft in 1946. In 1956, the Green Acres Mall was built at the location of Columbia Field.

Commando: Steel Disaster. Commando: Steel Disaster is a run and gun video game for the Nintendo DS developed by Mana Computer Software.

Plot
The story begins when several sectors of a military group report being attacked by their own war machines. A terrorist organization led by a man named Rattlesnake is assumed to be responsible. A commando and vehicle specialist code-named Storm is assigned to enter each affected area and progressively stop Rattlesnake's ambitions.

Gameplay
Storm is controlled by the player during all phases of warfare. The player's goal is to advance through each level while gathering weapons and ammo in order to survive long enough to face off against the boss at the end of each level. The storyline progresses at the beginning of each stage as Storm's communications officer, Jessica, informs him of where to go next.

Players can hold up to two firearms, which they can switch between, and can also hold a certain amount of hand grenades.

The player has no extended or extra life bonuses. If a player dies, a game over screen appears followed by the player restarting the current mission from the beginning. Players can start and save their own profiles, but it is necessary to beat the first level before progress can be saved. Storm occasionally commands a vehicle, which mostly happens at the beginning of the game, but additionally by the game's climax. The gameplay is similar to that of Metal Slug. The game has five stages of combat in a 2D, hand-drawn style.

Reception

Commando: Steel Disaster received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

PharmaSat. PharmaSat was a nanosatellite developed by NASA Ames Research Center which measured the influence of microgravity upon yeast resistance to an antifungal agent. As a follow on to the GeneSat-1 mission, the Ames Small Spacecraft Division conducted the PharmaSat mission in collaboration with industry and local universities.

PharmaSat was the first nanosatellite to implement biological science guided by its Principal Investigator. The mission was designed to aid the development of medicines or techniques to enable long-term crewed space travel and habitation.

Background 
The PharmaSat mission builds upon technology demonstrated by GeneSat-1, which used a CubeSat to study microfluidics and optics in the space environment. It was designed to provide life-support, growth, monitoring, and analysis capabilities for microorganisms.

Based, like GeneSat-1, around a three-unit CubeSat platform; PharmaSat was designed to accomplish five functions in an autonomous free-flying platform:
 Provide life support and environmental control for growth of the yeast strain in 48 independent microwells;
 Dose the growing yeast with antifungal agent at the appropriate point on the growth curve with three distinct, well-defined dosage levels, plus a zero-dose control;
 Track the population of the yeast via optical density of each microwell before, during and after antifungal administration;
 Determine well-by-well yeast viability at multiple, well-defined times after antifungal administration using a colorimetric reagent, Alamar Blue;
 Telemeter the resulting population and viability data to Earth, along with system status data.

Operations 
PharmaSat was launched at 23:55 UTC on 19 May 2009 aboard a Minotaur I launch vehicle from Pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island. PharmaSat was flown as a secondary payload co-manifested with the US Air Force Air Force Research Laboratory's TacSat-3 spacecraft.

PharmaSat was successfully inserted into a low Earth orbit at approximately  above the Earth, following which it was activated and began transmitting radio signals to two ground control stations. The primary ground station at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, transmitted mission data from the satellite to its operators, while a second station was located at Santa Clara University, whose Robotic Systems Laboratory was responsible for operating the satellite.

After establishing contact the satellite was commanded to initiate its experiment, which lasted 96 hours. Once the experiment began, PharmaSat relayed data in near real-time for up to six months. PharmaSat also carried an amateur radio beacon, with a frequency of 437.465 megahertz, which broadcast spacecraft telemetry. Amateur radio operators were asked to collect data from the spacecraft and provide it to the operators via the Mission Dashboard website.

PharmaSat decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere on 14 August 2012.

U-Right. U-Right International Holdings Limited () (), or U-Right (), was a garment distributor and retailer headquartered in Hong Kong. It offered men's and ladies' casual wear under the brand name of U-Right through retail outlets and distribution points. It utilized and licensed the Swedish Texcote technology, which is a material processing technology based on the principles of nano-technology. It also had its own production base in Shunde and Shenzhen of Guangdong to develop its nano-technology products.

History
U-Right was founded by Mr. Leung Ngok in Hong Kong in 1983 and Mr. Leung served as the company chairman until 2008.

U-Right had acquired the Texcote Technology from Swedish scientists. This specific textile was water repellent, dirt resistant and carried environmental properties. Its subsidiary U-Right Nano Textile (China) Ltd. produced Texcote-built products for other clothing companies. U-Right launched Texcote-based products in 2002. Nano-coating clothes only increased production cost by 3%, yet the profit margin of nano-coated products was 50% higher. In 2003, the company announced exceptional results thanks to its nano-coated solutions and invested $50 million in a new nano-technology plant in mainland China to accelerate its Texcote-based production. In 2006, the company announced it could nano-coat a million items a month thanks to its increased production capacity.

From 2005 to 2007, in Hong Kong alone, the company store count went from 18 to 65. In mainland China, in 2007, U-Right owned 40 stores and 360 franchise stores. U-Right launched the stores Sevendays which carry top-tier fashion products (4 stores in 2007), and the high-end fashion brand Pezzx (2 stores in 2007). In 2007, U-Right started to sell brands others than their homemade brands.

In 2008, U-Right was liquidated by Deutsche Bank, its creditor, as HK$1.3 billion debts was disabled to pay back. And provisional liquidator took over U-Right. Retail stores were closed down and 160 employees were laid off. Mr. Leung, U-Right's former chairman, was also declared bankrupt by the Hong Kong High Court. Its shares still suspended trading until further notice.
