Syllable (computing). In computing, a syllable is a unit of information that describes the size of data for some digital hardware from the 1960s and 1970s. The size of the unit varies by hardware design in much the same way that word does. The term is not used for modern hardware; replaced with standardized terms like byte.

Examples:

 3-bit: some experimental CISC designs
 8-bit: English Electric KDF9 (represented as syllabic octals and also called slob-octals or slobs in this context) and Burroughs large systems (see also: Burroughs B6x00-7x00 instruction set)
 12-bit: NCR computers such as the NCR 315 (also called slabs in this context) and Burroughs large systems
 13-bit: Saturn Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) and Gemini Spacecraft On-Board Computer (OBC)

Jordan Nguyen is a Vietnamese-Australian biomedical engineer and inventor whose achievements include creating a mind-controlled wheelchair, and whose technological innovations are targeted at improving the lives of those living with physical disabilities. He is a Keynote Speaker and futurist, with strong views on using technology for maximum positive global impact. His work has gained considerable media attention across Australia, featuring on ABC's Catalyst and Channel 10's The Project.

Education 
Growing up in Sydney, Australia, Jordan Nguyen attended Normanhurst Boys' High School on the Upper North Shore.

He went on to the University of Technology Sydney, where he graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Engineering and First Class Honours. In 2012, he completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering, and was awarded into the UTS Chancellor's List. For his PhD project, Nguyen developed a mind-controlled wheelchair for people with high-level physical disability. The wheelchair used cameras to observe its surroundings and provided navigation assistance to the operator whilst scanning the user's retinas as the means of delivering commands.

Work 
Nguyen has spoken at a range of events across Australia, including TEDx events across Sydney, Think Inc., Wired For Wonder, and the international Engineering for Medicine and Biology Conference.

Nguyen has worked as a Software engineer for ResMed, served on the board of directors for Object: Australian Design Centre, and is currently a member of the board for the NSW Medical Technology Knowledge Hub. He has taught project development in Artificial intelligence design, co-founded Remarkable, a technology incubator for disability, and founded Psykinetic, a company aiming to make life-improving technology affordable and accessible.

Nguyen has worked closely with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance and with a range of individuals with Cerebral palsy. In 2016, ABC's Catalyst broadcast a two-part documentary on his work to increase 13-year-old Riley's physical independence in spite of his cerebral palsy.

In 2016 Nguyen was nominated for Australian of the Year and awarded one of Australia's most innovative engineers He is currently working on improving the early diagnosis of disabilities in infants.

Personal life 
Nguyen's father is Hung Nguyen, the former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at UTS and co-director for the Centre of Health Technologies. Nguyen has three younger siblings, a sister and two brothers, who are triplets.

In his third year of university, Nguyen dived into a friend's swimming pool, hit the bottom, and damaged the muscles in his neck. Although he did not break his spine, Nguyen began exploring the options available to quadriplegics. When he discovered how limited they were, he decided to persevere in engineering to help develop technologies for disabilities.

LNWR Dreadnought Class. The LNWR Dreadnought class was a class of 40 passenger three-cylinder compound 2-2-2-0 locomotives designed by F. W. Webb for the London and North Western Railway, and manufactured by them in their Crewe Works between 1884 and 1888.  The railway also commissioned the Beyer, Peacock and Company to construct an additional locomotive of the design for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Design
The design featured a boiler pressed to  delivering saturated steam to two outside  high-pressure cylinders, which exhausted to one  low-pressure cylinder inside the frames. All three cylinders had a stroke of ; the high-pressure cylinders drove the rear wheels, while the low-pressure drove the leading driving wheels. As the two pairs of driving wheels were not connected, the locomotives were "duplex drive" or "double-singles".

They were a development of Webb's Experiment class; they had larger boilers and smaller driving wheels, and while the Joy valve gear for the HP and LP cylinders could still be independently adjusted, it was now also possible to reverse both sets simultaneously.  The inside valve gear was subsequently amended to the loose or slip-eccentric system, thus giving automatic reversal.

Decline
When George Whale become chief mechanical engineer of the LNWR in 1903, he started a programme of eliminating Webb's over-complicated duplex compound locomotives. Consequently, the class was scrapped between December 1903, and  July 1905, having been replaced by Whale's Experiment class.

James D. Y. Collier. James Digby Yarlet Collier (born December 1958) is a British physicist and engineer. He was the chief technology officer of Neul Limited. Previously, he held several technical and executive positions at Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR), UbiNetics, Cambridge Consultants and Schlumberger

Education
Collier was born in December 1958. He was educated at the University of Oxford, where he gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics.

Career
Collier co-founded CSR as a corporate spin-off from Cambridge Consultants Limited with a group of eight other people including Glenn Collinson, Phil O'Donovan, Jonathan Kimmitt, Carl Orsborn, Ian Sabberton, Justin Penfold, Robert Young and Graham Pink. He served as CTO of CSR which was acquired by Qualcomm in 2015. Using short-range wireless technology, CSR became a major supplier of integrated circuit designs for Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi. As a fabless manufacturing company, CSR created the first production ready, single chip, CMOS implementation of the Bluetooth standard by putting a radio transmitter, microprocessor and baseband on a single integrated circuit. The techniques developed are now commonplace and included in many consumer wireless devices.

Between 1984 and 1999, Collier held executive and technical positions at Cambridge Consultants. Prior to 1984, Collier held a number of executive and technical positions at Schlumberger. Collier also served as director UbiNetics IP Ltd from 2005.

In 2010, Collier set up Neul Limited with Glenn Collinson with £8 million in initial investment to exploit machine to machine communication in the weightless wireless communications market. Neul was based in Cambridge Science Park and developed wireless network technology to enable the use of the white space spectrum. Neul had a change of management in 2013 after Collier was ousted by the investors. Neul was not successful in commercialising weightless technology and was later acquired by Huawei in 2014 for $25 million USD.

Awards and honours
In 2005, Collier won the MacRobert Award with his CSR colleagues John Hodgson, Phil O'Donovan, Glenn Collinson and Chris Ladas for their work on Bluecore. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016 and is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET) and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng).

Metal–nitride–oxide–semiconductor transistor. The metal–nitride–oxide–semiconductor or metal–nitride–oxide–silicon (MNOS) transistor is a type of MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) in which the oxide layer is replaced by a double layer of nitride and oxide. It is an alternative and supplement to the existing standard MOS technology, wherein the insulation employed is a nitride-oxide layer. It is used in  non-volatile computer memory.

History

The first silicon dioxide transistors were developed by Frosch and Derick in 1957 at Bell Labs.

In late 1967, a Sperry research team led by H.A. Richard Wegener invented the metal–nitride–oxide–semiconductor (MNOS) transistor, a type of MOSFET in which the oxide layer is replaced by a double layer of nitride and oxide. Nitride was used as a trapping layer instead of a floating gate, but its use was limited as it was considered inferior to a floating gate.

Charge trap (CT) memory was introduced with MNOS devices in the late 1960s. It had a device structure and operating principles similar to floating-gate (FG) memory, but the main difference is that the charges are stored in a conducting material (typically a doped polysilicon layer) in FG memory, whereas CT memory stored charges in localized traps within a dielectric layer (typically made of silicon nitride).

Bamidele Ali. Bamidele Ali (born November 1, 1976) is a former gridiron football defensive end who played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. From 1999 to 2000, he played 24 regular season games for the Roughriders and recorded 73 tackles, seven sacks, and three interceptions. He played college football for the Kentucky Wildcats. He studied electrical engineering and mathematics at Kentucky. After playing for the Roughriders, Ali worked for several companies as an engineer specializing in 3D printing.

Early career 

Despite receiving multiple offers to play at less well-known schools, Ali attended the University of Kentucky to have the chance to walk-on to a Division I-A team. Originally a strong safety, Ali was later given a sports scholarship and converted to the outside linebacker position. In 1997, he started as a defensive end for the first time and recorded a team-high seven sacks. Ali was named to the "Unsung Hero All-America Team" by the College Football Chronicle.

Professional career 

Before the 1999 season, Ali was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders as a free agent. He remained on the active roster at the start of the regular season. Ali was removed from the active lineup in mid-September due to an ankle injury, but he returned later that month after Trevis Smith dislocated his hip. With 46 tackles, five sacks, and an interception over 13 games, Ali had his most successful season as a rookie.

Ali returned to the Roughriders in 2000. In July, he intercepted Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Danny McManus twice for his only interceptions of the season. The Roughriders went on to win the game 40–34. By August, Ali was "considered the team's best defensive player", but he was forced to miss games after breaking his left arm. After returning to the lineup, Ali tore a tendon in his knee, ending his season.

Later life 

Starting in 1998, Ali worked for General Electric (GE) as an electrical engineer while not with the Roughriders. After his injuries in 2000, he moved to Milwaukee and continued to work for GE full-time. He later worked for DSM creating a strategy to develop 3D printing products and founded Ali Technologies, a manufacturing consulting firm specializing in 3D printing. As of May 2016, Ali is a Vice President of Business Development at Architected Materials.

LNWR Teutonic Class. The LNWR Teutonic class was a class of 10 passenger three-cylinder compound 2-2-2-0 locomotives designed by F. W. Webb for the London and North Western Railway, and manufactured by them in their Crewe Works between 1889 and 1890.

Design

The design featured a boiler pressed to  delivering saturated steam to two outside  high-pressure cylinders, which exhausted to one  low-pressure cylinder inside the frames. All three cylinders had a stroke of ; the high-pressure cylinders drove the rear wheels, while the low-pressure drove the leading driving wheels. As the two pairs of driving wheels were not connected, the locomotives were "duplex drive" or "double-singles".

They were a development of Webb's Dreadnought class; they had larger driving and leading wheels, and the additions of cylinder tail rods (which were later removed). There were also further modifications to the Joy valve gear, but the seven locomotives built in 1890 had the inside cylinder worked by slip-eccentric valve gear instead from new.

Of the ten locomotives, nine were named after ships of the White Star Line, the exception was named after a character in a Walter Scott novel, as it was exhibited at the Edinburgh International Exhibition of 1890.

Decline
When George Whale become chief mechanical engineer of the LNWR in 1903, he started a programme of eliminating Webb's over-complicated duplex compound locomotives. Consequently, the class was scrapped between October 1905, and  July 1907, having been replaced by Whale's Experiment class.

China Railways DF. The DF () was a type of diesel-electric locomotive used in the People's Republic of China. It was first introduced in 1958 and was produced until 1974. It was the first common mixed-traffic diesel-electric locomotive in China and was used for both passenger and freight services. The DF3 () is an upgraded model of the DF.

History 

The DF design was based on a 1958 built prototype, the Julong, which was essentially a Soviet TE3 and was built with Soviet technical assistance. The DF used a 10-cylinder opposed piston engine of type 10E207. This was a copy of the Soviet 2D100 design, itself a copy of the Fairbanks Morse 38D8 ¾. Like the TE3s, the DFs were designed to be used in pairs, back to back, but appear to have spent most of their lives working singly, hardly a problem when there were wyes everywhere to turn steam locomotives.

DF and DF3 were used in many parts of China but by the late 1980s, more modern diesels, such as the DF4B, had ousted them from primary routes. Some hung on in CNR service until the mid-1990s but few, if any, made it beyond the millennium. A number of redundant locos were bought by industrial and local railway operators, including the Heihe Local Railway in northern Heilongjiang. Heihe's had finished by 2008 and it's highly unlikely that any remain in service.

Named locomotive 
 DF3-0058 was named "Zhou Enlai"

Manufacturers 
DFs have been manufactured by several factories:
 Dalian Locomotive Works
 Qishuyan Locomotive Works
 Datong Locomotive Works
 Chengdu Locomotive Works

Preservation

 3 DFs belong to Yunnan Smelter: DF-2026, DF-2012, DF-1683.
 At least 4 DFs in Guangxi: Nanning Chemical Factory have DF-1227 and DF-1210; Nanning Huqiu Steel Market have DF-1587; DF-1846 was located in .

Vietnam Railways D16E 
These three DF Locomotives were imported from China and were numbered 2006 -2008. The main photo above depicts D16E - 2008 outside the Yen Vien Locomotive Workshop. They were apparently used for Yen Vien - Dong Dang freights and were rated at 1800 hp but were down rated to 1600 hp in VN service. It would appear that at least one locomotive has survived (at least up to 2004) and is stored at the back of a shed in Yen Vien. There is a suggestion also that the original 3 were somehow cannibalised when parts became scarce.

Puente de Trujillo Alto. The Puente de Trujillo Alto is a Pennsylvania through truss bridge built during 1939–1941 in Puerto Rico in the Trujillo Alto municipality of Puerto Rico. At was the longest single-span bridge in Puerto Rico.

The bridge construction was funded as part of the New Deal. The supporting structures and bridge were built by Robert Prann, an engineer who established private practice in Puerto Rico, with steel components manufactured by U.S. Steel.

Crossing  above, it spans the Río Grande de Loíza, the largest river by volume in Puerto Rico.  The height was intended to keep this bridge above flooding that had destroyed a previous bridge in 1936.  However, in 1945 even this bridge was flooded over and almost carried away.

A four-lane concrete bridge was built adjacently during 1983-85 as a replacement, with the historic bridge being slated for demolition, but local protests led to its being kept.
