Prince Edward Island Cables. The Prince Edward Island Cables connect the electric grid on Prince Edward Island with the mainland in New Brunswick. The two cables have a length of  and a capacity of 180 MW each and stretch from Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick to Borden-Carleton. The cost was $142.5 million shared by federal ($68.9 million) and provincial ($73.6 million) governments. The project was run by Maritime Electric.

The cables replaced two oil-filled three-phase cables at 138 kV with a capacity of 100 MW each taken into operation in October 1977, providing the first connection to the mainland grid. They were ordered from the Swedish company  in 1974. In order to not disturb the fishing of scallops in Northumberland Strait, a special plough was constructed to place the cables deep enough in the bottom.

Efficiently updatable neural network. An efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE, a Japanese wordplay on Nue, sometimes stylised as ƎUИИ) is a neural network-based evaluation function whose inputs are piece-square tables, or variants thereof like the king-piece-square table. NNUE is used primarily for the leaf nodes of the alpha–beta tree. While being slower than handcrafted evaluation functions, NNUE does not suffer from the 'blindness beyond the current move' problem.

NNUE was invented by Yu Nasu and introduced to computer shogi in 2018. On 6 August 2020, NNUE was for the first time ported to a chess engine, Stockfish 12. Since 2021, many of the top rated classical chess engines such as Komodo Dragon have an NNUE implementation to remain competitive.

NNUE runs efficiently on central processing units (CPU) without a requirement for a graphics processing unit (GPU). In contrast, deep neural network-based chess engines such as Leela Chess Zero require a GPU.

The neural network used for the original 2018 computer shogi implementation consists of four weight layers: W1 (16-bit integers) and W2, W3 and W4  (8-bit). It has 4 fully-connected layers, ReLU activation functions, and outputs a single number, being the score of the board.

W1 encoded the king's position and therefore this layer needed only to be re-evaluated once the king moved. It used incremental computation and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) techniques along with appropriate intrinsic instructions.

Volansi. Volansi (formerly Volans-i) is an American unmanned aerial vehicle logistics company. Founded in San Francisco, California in 2015, the company utilizes VTOL drones for commercial, medical and defense operations.

History

The company was founded in 2015 by former Tesla, Inc. senior operations analyst Hannan Parvizian and Wesley Zheng, who had been working for electric car manufacturer Lucid Motors. While at Stanford University, Zheng was a part of a team who researched an improved model of lithium–sulfur battery for use in renewable energy systems. Parvizian was inspired to create the company due to logistics issues that Tesla was facing, where manufacturing parts could not be sourced in a timely manner. The company was originally funded by Y Combinator, and the company presented their VTOL drones at a showcase in Austin, Texas in 2017. In July 2017, the company led a project that set "a new U.S. record for long-distance urban delivery by drone, using cellphone networks to help navigate a simulated 97-mile trip". The company opened a production facility in Concord, California.

Volansi first became involved in humanitarian relief in 2018, by working together with Merck & Co. and Direct Relief to develop a drone-based medical supply delivery system in Puerto Rico, securing inter-island flight permissions for the project. The company's preparations for creating the first hurricane relief drone were scampered in 2019 due to the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian to The Bahamas.

In March 2020, Volansi hired former Amazon Prime Air co-founder Daniel Buchmueller as their Chief Technology Officer. The company won the Airmanship Special Award at the 2020 African Drone Forum. The same year it began testing for vaccine deliveries in North Carolina with Merck.

In July 2022, Volansi filed for assignment for benefit of creditors (ABC), an alternative to bankruptcy.

Operations

Volansi's facilities are based in Concord, California, however the company operates globally. The drone services are offered on-demand, and can be used for commercial, medical and defense purposes. Packages are able to be delivered to any location with a suitable flat surface, including construction sites and ships at sea. To be able to operate, the company receives many exceptions to Federal Aviation Administration rules.

Volansi's VOLY M20 model has a maximum 350 mile range, depending on the payload and weather conditions. However, the company have tested prototypes that can travel at a 500-mile range, with a top speed of 67 miles per hour.

Chicago and North Western D class. The Chicago and North Western Railway D Class was a class of 92 American 4-4-2 "Atlantic" locomotives. They were built by Schenectady Locomotive Works and by its corporate successor the American Locomotive Company between 1900 and 1908. In addition, the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway (Omaha Road) bought seven, classifying them as class G-3

Design
The locomotives had a boiler pressurized to  providing steam to two cylinders with a  bore and a  stroke. They were connected to  driving wheels by a variety of valve gear: most had Stephenson valve gear and  piston valves; No. 1026 was fitted up with Youngs rotary valves and valve gear in 1903, but later reverted to Stephensons valve gear. The 1908 batch had Walschaerts valve gear, the first five locomotives having piston valves and the last ten were delivered with Young rotary valves; these were replaced with piston valves when the locomotives were fitted with superheaters.

Construction
All 92 locomotives were built by Schenectady Locomotive Works (SLW) and by the same works under its corporate successor, the American Locomotive Company (ALCO).

In September 1904, ALCO announced their introduction to steam locomotives with superheated boilers, following some successful test runs by a European locomotive at a St. Louis exhibition. The C&NW subsequently asked ALCO to construct one D class 4-4-2 (No. 1300) and one R-1 class 4-6-0 (No. 76) with superheated boilers. The railroad became unsatisfied with the performance of Nos. 1300 and 76, and no further D's or R-1's were built new with superheaters.

Service
At the time of their introduction, wooden cars were the norm. The class D locomotives were quite capable of pulling a 10-car, 400-ton train on the 138-mile Chicago to Clinton route in 3 hours 25 minutes inclusive of eleven stops.

Unfortunately, steel cars came into use soon after, and the locomotives became outclassed. They were then downgraded to commuter service and locals.

On the Omaha Road, one of the later uses of their class G-3 was powering the Minneapolis to Ashland train The Namakagon substituting for the regular gas-electric car when it was in the shops or the load exceeded its two-car capacity. 

Retirements started in 1931, and continued until the end of steam in 1956 when the last two were retired from Chicago commuter service.

One locomotive has been preserved: CNW 1015, the first locomotive built. It is on display at the National Museum of Transportation at Kirkwood, Missouri.

VZLU TOM-8. The TOM-8 was a prototype Czechoslovak single-engined two-seat training aircraft of the 1950s. It was designed by the VZLU, the Czechoslovak national aeronautic research institute for the Czechoslovak Air Force, with a prototype flying in 1956, but production plans were abandoned in 1960.

Design and development
In the mid-1950s, the Czechoslovak Air Force had a requirement to replace its Aero C-11 trainers, a licence-built version of the Soviet Yakovlev Yak-11. The design of the new aircraft was allocated to a team at the VZLU,, led by Karel Tomáš, who had previously served as chief designer for Tatra's aviation department, and later for Zlín, where he designed the Zlín Z 26 trainer.

The resulting design, designated TOM-8 after Tomáš, and also known as the L-8, was a low-winged monoplane of all metal construction, powered by a single  Praga Doris C air-cooled six-cylinder horizontally-opposed piston engine. Student and instructor sat in tandem in an enclosed cockpit, with the student in the front seat, and were provided with dual controls. The aircraft had a retractable tricycle landing gear.

The first TOM-8 made its maiden flight on 23 April 1956, but development was slowed by engine problems, and plans for production at the Moravan Otrokovice works (where Zlín aircraft were built) were abandoned in 1960.

One TOM-8 is preserved at the Kbely Aviation Museum.

SAM (automotive). SAM (from Samochód Amatorski Motoru; Amateur Motor Car), in Polish law, is a kind of vehicle, usually car, motorcycle or tractor made by yourself or in a workshop.  It is made in a single copy, less often in a small series. It is created by a thorough alteration of a serial vehicle or by building it from scratch. A vehicle brand "SAM" under the Act   is a vehicle built using body, chassis or frame, own design. The construction uses many components of serial vehicles. The name derives from the popular in the 1950s in Poland by the competition of the weekly  called Auto Amatorski Motoru, in which the editors of the magazine presented handcrafted constructions by workers or craftsmen .

"SAM" tractors are used in agriculture and horticulture, most often without approval and registration - hence they are not allowed for road traffic on public roads.

Vehicle registration requires technical inspection .

The scope of tests allowing for admission to traffic is specified in the regulation by the Minister of Infrastructure of October 22, 2004 (Journal of Laws No. 238, item 2395)  on tests of compliance of historic vehicles and "SAM" brand vehicles with technical conditions .

Reservations regarding registration:

 Self-built vehicle using Body, Chassis or frame of own design, brand of which is referred to as "SAM" without specifying model type
 Engine and you cannot build it yourself - documents for the complete engine assembly must be submitted for registration.

Ozone Zeno. The Ozone Zeno is a French single-place paraglider that was designed by the Ozone R&D Team and has been produced by Ozone Gliders of Le Bar-sur-Loup, France, since 2016.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed as a competition glider for expert-level pilots and is produced in four sizes to match pilot weight ranges. It is a two-line design, with only A and B risers. The B-risers have wooden handles for rear-riser control.

The glider is made from a combination of 27g Porcher Sport Skytex 27 Classic and Dominico 30D fabrics. Of the choice of fabric the company says, "it is important to note that due to the extensive use of light materials in this wing, it is less durable than an M6, for example. These lightweight and high performance materials require care and caution on the ground."

Operational history

Reviewer Seb Ospina described the Zeno in a 2017 video review as comparable in performance to the Enzo 2, but more demanding to fly, saying "like all two-liners, it can potentially bite". He termed it "cohesive" and "solid". Hugh Miller described it as taking some time flying it to get used to its different flying characteristics.

Hugh Miller also did a written review for Cross Country magazine in which he advised caution for pilots considering a move up to the Zeno, "in conclusion, I know far more pilots who've changed up wings too quickly and got scared than pilots who’ve got better. My advice would be to think about it seriously before stepping onto a Zeno as your first EN-D, and if you’re worried about it, give yourself an easier entry into EN-D.".
