National Engineering and Electrical Trade Union. The National Engineering and Electrical Trade Union (NEETU) was a trade union representing engineering workers in Ireland.

The union was formed in 1920 as the Irish Engineering Industrial Union.  Its first couple of years were turbulent, with the Irish Stationary Engine Drivers and the Operative Society of Mechanical Heating and Domestic Engineers, Whitesmiths, Ironworkers, and Pipe Fitters both joining, but the Irish General Railway and Engineering Union and the Electrical Trades Union both splitting away.

In 1948, the union renamed itself as the Irish Engineering, Industrial and Electrical Trade Union.  The National Engineering Union (a renaming of the Irish General Railway and Engineering Union) amalgamated into the union in 1966, and the union renamed itself as the National Engineering and Electrical Trade Union.  However, the merger was not recognised by the government, and the National Engineering Union continued to exist on paper until 1976.

In 2001, the union merged with the Electrical Trades Union, forming the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union.

Lamprophyllite. Lamprophyllite (named for its lustrous cleavage) is a rare, but widespread mineral Ti-silicate mineral usually found in intrusive agpasitic igneous rocks. Yellow, reddish brown, Vitreous, Pearly.

Lamprophyllite formula is (Sr,Ba,K,Na)2Na(Na,Fe,Mn)2Ti[Ti2O2(Si2O7)2[(O, OH,F)2 . Full isomorphic range between lampropyllite and baritollalpropyllite exist.

The general crystal-chemical formula for lampropyllite-related minerals can be written as A2[(M1)(M2)2(M3)X2] [[5] L2(Si2O7)2O2], where the contents of the O and H sheets are given in square brackets in this order and A =  Sr, Ba,K, Na; M1 = Na, Mn2+; M2 = Na, Mn2+, Fe2+, Ca; M3 = Ti, Mn2+, Mg, Fe3+, Fe2+; L = Ti, Fe3+; X = OH, O, F.

Lamprophyllite is monoclinic, The mineral also has an orthorhombic polytype Unit-cell parameters mainly depend from the cationic composition in the interlayer position A The crystal structures of the lamprophyllite-related minerals are based upon HOH modules consisting of a central octahedral O sheet sandwiched between two heteropolyhedral H sheets.

Lamprophyllite melts incongruently (880 °C) with formation of titanium oxides: rutile, tausonite, freudenbergite. Syntetic lamprophyllite synthesis was crystallized from melt. Tewly formed lamprophyllite show higher Sr/Ba ratioi than in equilibrium melt.

Fox-1A. Fox-1A, AO-85 or AMSAT OSCAR 85 is an American amateur radio satellite. It is a 1U Cubesat, was built by the AMSAT-NA and carries a single-channel transponder for FM radio. The satellite has one rod antenna each for the  and  bands. To enable a satellite launch under NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program, the satellite continues to carry a Penn State University student experiment (MEMS gyroscope).

According to AMSAT-NA, Fox-1A will replace OSCAR 51. Upon successful launch, the satellite was assigned OSCAR number 85.

Launch and mission
The satellite was launched on 8 October 2015 with an Atlas V rocket together with the main payload Intruder 11A (also known as NOSS-3 7A, USA 264 and NROL 55) and 12 other Cubesat satellites (SNaP-3 ALICE, SNaP-3 EDDIE, SNaP-3 JIMI, LMRSTSat, SINOD-D 1, SINOD-D 3, AeroCube 5C, OCSD A, ARC 1, BisonSat, PropCube 1 and PropCube 3) from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, United States. After just a few hours, the transponder was put into operation, initial connections were made between amateur radio stations and telemetry was received.

Status 
Since December 2018, AO-85 has suffered from dangerously low battery voltage while in eclipse. As a result, AMSAT have disabled all on board transmitters in an effort to extend the usable life of the satellite. Transmitters are periodically turned back on to collect telemetry data.

BRICSat-P. BRICSat-P or OSCAR 83 (NO-83) previously known as PSat-B, is a U.S. technology demonstration satellite and an amateur radio satellite for Packet Radio. BRICSat-P (Ballistic Reinforced Communication Satellite) is a low cost 1.5U CubeSat built by the U.S. Naval Academy Satellite Lab in collaboration with George Washington University, that will demonstrate on-orbit operation of a Micro-Cathode Arc Thruster (μCAT) electric propulsion system and carries an amateur communication payload.

Mission
A four μCAT thruster head system was placed on one side of the spacecraft around the center of gravity and will de-tumble the satellite from its initial expulsion, demonstrate rotational control about 2 axes, and perform a delta-V end of life scenario. Orbital analyses performed indicate that the four thruster-head system is able to fit in a 1.5U Cubesat with low power consumption such that other subsystems such as communication systems can perform normally. Dynamics analysis has been performed in MATLAB Simulink and STK that shows the thrusters can successfully perform the attitude control maneuvers. The project is fully funded and launched on 20 May 2015.

Status
BRICSat-P suffered from power budget problems and has been unable to support all of its primary missions.

Frequencies
BRICSat has 2 amateur communication payload on boards: APRS constellation transponder with downlink on 437.975 MHz and with uplink on 145.825 MHz 1k2 and 9k6 AX25 PSK31 transponder with a 28.120 MHz uplink (2.5 kHz bandwidth) and a UHF FM downlink.

Wayne B. Nottingham. Wayne B. Nottingham (17 April 1899 – 4 December 1964) was a US physics professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), specialized on electronics, field electron emission, thermionics, photoelectrics and low pressure equipment. The Nottingham effect in field electron emission is named after him.

Life 
Wayne Buckles Nottingham was born in Tipton, Indiana, United States in 1899.

He made his Bachelor of Science in Purdue University and in 1921 he went to Uppsala University in Sweden under a Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic fellowship by The American-Scandinavian Foundation. Upon his return he joined what later became the Bell Labs in New Jersey.

Nottingham received a master's degree from Princeton University in 1926 and continued there as PhD student under the supervision of Karl Taylor Compton. He defended his thesis in 1929. The same year, he was also awarded the degree of electrical engineer by Purdue.

As a postdoctoral researcher, Nottingham worked as a Bartol Research Fellow at the Franklin Institute in Pennsylvania.

Nottingham joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1931 as assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 1936, and to professor in 1942.

Nottingham devised the Nottingham gauge, an electronic pressure measuring device which operated in vacuum of about 10−10 millimetre of mercury.

In 1935, he organized and conducted the first Physical Electronics Conference (PEC) at MIT.

During World War II, he served as a special representative of the MIT Radiation Laboratory to the federal Office of Scientific Research and Development in Washington D. C.

Nottingham retired in July 1964 and proceeded to do a tour of Europe presenting his work, in company of his wife. Nottingham died in December in Aerdenhout, Netherlands.

Awards, honors and fellowships 
Nottingham was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Optical Society of America and the American Physical Society (APS) in 1931.

Nottingham was awarded the Louis E. Levy medal in Engineering of the Franklin Institute in 1932.

The Wayne B. Nottingham Prize was established in 1966 in Nottingham's honor by the Physical Electronics Conference (PEC), awarded to best papers in electronics during the conference.

HMS Glasgow (F88). HMS Glasgow is the first Type 26 frigate to be built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. The Type 26 class will partially replace the navy's thirteen Type 23 frigates, and will be a multi-mission warship designed to support anti-submarine warfare, air defence and general purpose operations.

Construction
The ship is being assembled on the River Clyde in Glasgow. The first steel was cut for Glasgow in July 2017 with the ship expected to be delivered in 2024 and operational in about 2026. However, those dates have since moved to the right. In January 2018, work started on the second hull section.

In January 2020, the Royal Navy announced that the ship was more than halfway through construction.

In July 2020, the Royal Navy announced that work on the final section of Glasgow has started.

On 18 April 2021, the fore section of the ship moved out from its building shed on the Clyde.

On 1 May 2021, was joined with its aft section for the first time.

In October 2022, the Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace, stated that the initial operating capability (IOC) for the ship had slipped from 2027 to 2028.

On 25 November 2022 the vessel began its launching process, by being rolled onto the Malin Augstea semi-submersible launch barge CD01, then towed down river to the Firth of Clyde and up Loch Long to the Glen Mallan jetty where it was launched a week after the process started, using the "float off" method. The frigate was then towed back upriver to the BAE Scotstoun shipyard for fitting out.

On 13 May 2023, the Global press reported that fitting out had been temporarily suspended, after workers reported the ships cabling had been sabotaged, the UK Defence Journal reporting that around 60 of the ship's cables had been cut, sabotage possibly related to a pay dispute.

Commissioning was anticipated by late 2026 to be followed by a work-up period prior to reaching initial operating capability.

GSR Class 280. The Great Southern Railways (GSR) Class 280 were 0-4-0T locomotives built by Sentinel in 1927.

Design
The design consisted of a vertical boiler inside the cab surrounded by the coal bunker and water tanks and the cylinders mounted vertically between the axles.  The design was similar to others Sentinel has provided to other companies. The LNER Class Y3 and GWR No. 12 are examples of a broadly similar design.

Service
The locomotive design had a low cost operating cost and suited to shunting and tight radius curve.  Initially allocated to Cork and Tralee by 1932 both had moved to Limerick and worked the market siding.  Following the closure of the market siding in 1940 they lay idle until disposal in 1940.

Railcars
A similar power unit was also used in four GSR Railcars introduced in 1932.

David Richardson (physicist). David John Richardson (born 1964) is a British optoelectronics researcher and fellow of both the Royal Society (FRS) and the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng). He is currently a Partner Researcher at Microsoft, based in Romsey, UK, where he leads research on hollow core optical fiber technology—an approach that guides light through an air-filled core rather than conventional solid glass. Before joining Microsoft, he spent 34 years at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton. While at the ORC, he served as Professor, Deputy Director, and Head of the Fibre and Laser Group, making significant contributions to advanced optical fibre and laser research.

Education
Richardson was educated at St George’s Roman Catholic School, Southampton and Taunton’s College. He completed his Bachelor of Science degree and PhD in Physics at the University of Sussex in 1989.

Career and research
Richardson is a pioneer in the field of photonics, best known for his work on fibre optics and their applications. He has played a leading role in developing techniques to scale the data-carrying capacity of future optical communication networks to keep up with society's demand for ever increasing internet bandwidth. He has developed optical fibres of high performance – capable, for example, of transmitting large quantities of data across the internet at high speed.

Richardson was also one of the first to demonstrate the potential of compact, flexible, pulsed fibre lasers operating over a broad range of powers, pulse durations and wavelengths. Over many years he has extended the performance limits of fibre lasers, making them strong contenders to conventional lasers and contributing to their commercial success. His work extends to fibres capable of delivering kilowatts of optical power for manufacturing with lasers.

Solar River Project. Solar River Project is a proposed photovoltaic power station planned to be built near Robertstown in South Australia. The project received development approval from the Government of South Australia in June 2018 and was expected to start construction early in 2019. However, , the project was still proposed to be constructed, but work on site was not expected until at least the second half of 2022.

The company developing it is based at the University of Adelaide's venture incubator, ThincLab. The project has the support of the Ngadjuri people and the Regional Council of Goyder.

Stage 1 includes 200 MW of solar photovoltaic electricity generation and a 120 MW·h lithium ion battery system and was proposed to start construction early in 2019, generating its first generation before the end of the same year. Stage 1 will consist of one hundred single-axis tracker arrays each generating 2 MW and approximately  for a total area of . Stage 2 is proposed to provide another 200 MW of generation and a 150 MW·h battery.

The land is north of Goyder's Line and  north of the Goyder Highway on crown land unsuitable for cropping due to the low rainfall.

Downer Group was engaged in January 2019 for early contractor involvement, with construction expected to commence in July 2019 and stage 1 to take two years to build. The project had provision for three more stages, depending on market and network conditions. In July, the project's website said that construction would  start in the fourth quarter of 2019. By November 2019, this had slipped to the first quarter of 2020.

Alinta Energy had committed to buy 75% of the solar farm's output for 15 years, however that contract expired due to delays in the project caused by issues such as the withdrawal of Downer Group as EPC contractor.

The grid-connected battery will be supplied by GE Renewable Energy. It is expected to be 100MW/300MWh, larger than any grid-connected batteries in the world at the time of its announcement in 2019.
