Flying Phantom Elite. The Flying Phantom Elite is a French hydrofoil catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Martin Fischer and draws on the work of Alex Udin, Franck Cammas and the Groupama sailing team. It is intended as a one-design racer and was first built in 2015.

The Flying Phantom Essentiel was developed in 2017 as an easier to sail hydrofoil than the Flying Phantom Elite.

Production
The design was built by Phantom International in Dinard France from 2015 to about 2017, but the company is no longer in business and it is now out of production.

Design
The Flying Phantom Elite is a racing sailboat, built predominantly of a pre-preg carbon fibre and Nomex honeycomb sandwich. It has a fractional sloop rig with a carbon fibre mast. The hulls have reverse-raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable hydrofoils. It displaces .

The dual rudders are T-shaped, while the dual hydrofoil daggerboards are L-shaped. All are made from pre-preg, autoclave-cured carbon fibre.

The boat's mainsail and jib are made from VXM Black Technora membrane, while the gennaker is polyester.

Flying Phantom Essentiel. The Flying Phantom Essentiel, (English: Essential), is a French hydrofoil catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Gonzalo Redondo and Martin Fischer and first built in 2017.

The Flying Phantom Essentiel is intended as an easier-to-sail hydrofoil for beginners than the Flying Phantom Elite. The company described the design goals as "an 18' all around boat easy to use, able to foil in a wide range of conditions and attract new people to foiling. This foil configuration makes the boat to be more user friendly and less physically demanding for the crew."

Production
The design was built by Phantom International in Dinard, France starting 2017, but the company ceased operations that same year and it is now out of production.

Design
The Flying Phantom Essentiel is a racing sailboat, built predominantly of an epoxy/glass sandwich. It has a fractional sloop rig, with an aluminum mast. The hulls have reverse-raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable hydrofoils. It displaces .

The dual rudders are L-shaped, while the dual hydrofoil daggerboards are L-shaped. All are made from pre-preg, autoclave-cured carbon fibre.

The boat's mainsail and jib are made from polyester laminate, while the gennaker is polyester.

Split octal. Syllabic octal and split octal are two similar notations for 8-bit and 16-bit octal numbers, respectively, used in some historical contexts.

Syllabic octal
Syllabic octal is an 8-bit octal number representation that was used by English Electric in conjunction with their KDF9 machine in the mid-1960s.

Although the word 'byte' had been coined by the designers of the IBM 7030 Stretch for a group of eight bits, it was not yet well known, and English Electric used the word 'syllable' for what is now called a byte.

Machine code programming used an unusual form of octal, known locally as 'bastardized octal'. It represented 8 bits with three octal digits but the first digit represented only the two most-significant bits (with values 0..3), whilst the others the remaining two groups of three bits (with values 0..7) each. A more polite colloquial name was 'silly octal', derived from the official name which was syllabic octal (also known as 'slob-octal' or 'slob' notation,).

This 8-bit notation was similar to the later 16-bit split octal notation.

Split octal
Split octal is an unusual address notation used by Heathkit's PAM8 and portions of HDOS for the Heathkit H8 in the late 1970s (and sometimes up to the present). It was also used by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).

Following this convention, 16-bit addresses were split into two 8-bit numbers printed separately in octal, that is base 8 on 8-bit boundaries: the first memory location was "000.000" and the memory location after "000.377" was "001.000" (rather than "000.400").

In order to distinguish numbers in split-octal notation from ordinary 16-bit octal numbers, the two digit groups were often separated by a slash (/), dot (.), colon (:), comma (,), hyphen (-), or hash mark (#).

Most minicomputers and microcomputers used either straight octal (where 377 is followed by 400) or hexadecimal. With the introduction of the optional HA8-6 Z80 processor replacement for the 8080 board, the front-panel keyboard got a new set of labels and hexadecimal notation was used instead of octal.

Through tricky number alignment the HP-16C and other Hewlett-Packard RPN calculators supporting base conversion can implicitly support numbers in split octal as well.

Transport Research International Documentation. The TRID Database (Transportation Research International Documentation) is a database that combines the records from 
USA Transportation Research Board's Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) database and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Joint Transport Research Centre's International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. The merging of these databases formed the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic resource on transportation research information. As of July 2020 TRID contains more than 1.25 million records of published and ongoing research, covering all modes and disciplines of air, ground, and water transportation—books, technical reports, conference proceedings, and journal articles. Many records contain links to full-text documents. The records in TRID are indexed with a standardized vocabulary from the Transportation Research Thesaurus (TRT) which has integrated both the TRIS and ITRD thesauri. Aspects of the Australian Road Research Board's ATRI and ROAD Thesauri are also incorporated.

Among the transportation modes covered are highways and streets, public transport, railroads, maritime traffic, aviation, pipelines, pedestrians and bicycles.
Among the professional disciplines from which documents in TRID arise are: public planning, management, finance, design, engineering, construction, materials science, environmental issues, safety and human factors and ergonomics, and operations.

TRID indexes documents held by the TRB Transportation Research Library and ITRD and also receives records from several external sources: 1) the J-STAGE database maintained by the Japan Science and Technology Agency; 2) Northwestern University Transportation Library; 3) the Australian Transport Index (ATRI); and 4) SafetyLit. The TRID database publishes monthly an update of the more than 800 serials from which articles arise.
