Theiss UAV Solutions. Theiss UAV Solutions, formerly known as Theiss Aviation, is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Salem, Ohio. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles and at one time produced ultralight aircraft in the form of kits for amateur construction.

The president is Rachel Theiss and vice president is Shawn Theiss.

History
The company was formed in 1991 to produce ultralight aircraft kits using a new inexpensive, light-weight construction technique. The company produced two 1930s-style replica designs for the homebuilt market, the Theiss Speedster and the Theiss Sportster, which was introduced in 1998.

As a result of these designs in 1998 the company was approached by the head of the Tactical Electronic Warfare Division's Offboard Countermeasures Vehicle Research Section, United States Naval Research Laboratory to produce UAVs for the US Navy. This resulted in the design of the Theiss Tarzan, which entered Naval service as the Dakota II.

The company stopped working on manned general aviation aircraft to concentrate entirely on UAVs. Rebranded in 2015, the company is now known as Theiss UAV Solutions, LLC. The company produces a series of UAVs, including the Theiss NIRV (Nature Inspired Reconnaissance Vehicle) that is designed to resemble a soaring bird to conduct covert reconnaissance in urban and rural areas, with models that resemble a vulture, gull and hawk. The company also designs custom UAVs for customers.

Dimethyl adipate. Dimethyl adipate is the organic compound with the formula (CH2CH2CO2CH3)2.  It is a colorless oily liquid.  Although the main commercial interest in adipates is related to the production of nylons, this diester is used as a plasticizer, a solvent for paint stripping and resins, and a pigment dispersant.

Preparation
Dimethyl adipate is prepared by esterification of adipic acid with methanol.  Less conventional routes include the hydroesterification of butadiene and the carbonylation of 1,4-dimethoxy-2-butene.

It reacts with concentrated ammonia to give the diamide (CH2CH2C(O)NH2)2.

Toxicity
Esters of adipic acid exhibit low acute toxicities in animal models. The LD50 of this dimethyl ester is estimated at 1800 mg/kg (rat, i.p.).

Comverge. Comverge is an American privately held company that provides software, hardware, and services to electric utilities implementing demand response and energy efficiency programs.

History 
Comverge began as divisions of Scientific Atlanta and Lucent Technologies Inc. in 1974 and 1991, respectively. Comverge was organized in 1997 as a Delaware corporation by Acorn Energy, Inc. At this point, the company made the strategic decision in 2002 to develop, own, and operate load management systems for the benefit of electric utilities.

Comverge was a standalone, privately held company owned by H.I.G. Capital, a leading global private equity investment firm with more than $17 billion of capital under management.
In May 2017 Comverge was acquired by Itron.

Activities 
Comverge has worked with a wide range of investor-owned, public power, and electric cooperative utilities. Notable clients include Pepco Holdings Inc. (PHI), whose Energy Wise Rewards Program with Comverge recruited over 51 percent of eligible households in its Maryland service territory to participate; and the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO), which had recruited 50 percent of eligible households into their CoolSentry program as of October 2013.

Comverge also works with Gulf Power and helped launch the Energy Select program in 2000, which is one of the country's largest and most successful critical-peak pricing programs. The Gulf Power Energy Select program gives more than 14,500 participants greater control over their energy usage. It enables them to pre-program their central cooling and heating systems, electric water heaters, and pool pumps to respond automatically to specific pricing tiers and dynamic price signals from Gulf Power.

Comverge is highly active during each year's summer cooling season, which typically runs from June to September (varying based on region), during which residents’ energy usage spikes due to the use of air conditioners to combat high temperatures. In 2012, Comverge saved its customers 32 gigawatt-hours (gWh) of electricity from June through September, which was equivalent to taking more than 30,000 homes off the grid for one month.
