Petit Granit. Petit Granit (also known by a variety of names including: Nero Belga, Granit de Flandre, Pierre Bleue, Blue Stone, Belgian Granite, Belgian Blue Limestone, Arduin) is, despite its name, a grey-bluish limestone, rather than being a true Granite. It is mined exclusively in Belgium, where use of the name Petit Granit is subject to an Appellation d’Origine Locale (Local Appellation of Origin) designation.  The stone becomes shiny black on polishing and is considered to be an easily worked and versatile dimension stone. It has also been used widely in sculpture and architecture, especially in Brussels and other Belgian cities. Petit Granit has been designated by the International Union of Geological Sciences as a Global Heritage Stone Resource.

List of female fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering. The page lists female fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng), elected by the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK.

The Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), founded in 1976, is the youngest of the five national academies in the UK. It represents the nation's best practising engineers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, who are very often in leading roles in industry, business, and academia. Fellowship of the RAEng is a national honour, bringing prestige to both the individual and any organisation the Fellow is associated with. In recent years between 50 and 60 new fellows have been chosen each year by peer review from nominations made by the current fellowship;. Those proposed for fellowship must come "from among eminent engineers regarded by virtue of their personal achievements in the field of engineering as being of exceptional merit and distinction".

All 130 of the founding fellows in 1976 were men. Four women were elected in the first 20 years, the first in 1982. In all, 13 female fellows pre-date 2000, with a further 20 elected before 2010 and 65 in the decade before 2020. In 2010 the Council determined a policy that over time 10–20% of newly elected fellows should be women.

The Academy published a diversity and inclusion action plan for the five years from 2020  but does not regularly publish the proportion of female engineers in the current fellowship, estimated in 2019 to be less than 7%. In July 2020 it launched a campaign aimed at delivering a 'Fellowship that is Fit for the Future' by the time it celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026 and set an aspiration that at least half of all candidates elected each year will be from under-represented target groups. In 2023 six of the 60 new fellows and in 2024 twenty one of the 60 were female.

As of 2024, 158 women have been elected to Fellowship, plus thirteen international fellows, thirteen honorary fellows, and one royal fellow.

Juan de Fuca Cable Project. The Juan de Fuca Cable Project is a proposed 550 MW, 150 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine power cable connection running  under the Strait of Juan de Fuca between Port Angeles, Washington, and Victoria, British Columbia. The project's final environmental impact statement (required by United States law) was completed in October 2007, and a presidential permit issued in June 2008.

Sea Breeze Pacific Juan de Fuca Cable LP is proposing to install a high voltage direct current electric power transmission line between Vancouver Island in Canada and Port
Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula in the United States. This 550-megawatt transmission line would cross the international border beneath the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and
would be constructed using a combination of underground and submarine cables.

A benefit of the interconnection is relieving congestion on the US–Canada interconnect. Under the Columbia River Treaty, in return for regulating the flow of the Columbia River in BC, the United States is obliged to return some of the additional electricity generated in Washington to BC.

Two converter stations would be built for connection to power grids in the United States and Canada. One would be at Port Angeles adjacent to an existing Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) substation. One would be at the Pike Lake substation near Victoria.

If built, it would be the third HVDC system in the Pacific Northwest, along with the Pacific DC Intertie and HVDC Vancouver Island. The system would enable a more stable renewable energy supply by allowing bidirectional exchange of power based on renewable sources such as wind, hydro and solar, for which both supply and demand vary across wide areas based on seasonal and other factors. British Columbia's wind power is considered an underdeveloped resource.

As of late 2013, the project was waiting for completion of a $69 per megawatt hour power purchase agreement with BC Hydro, and would need recertification by Canadian energy regulators. At the same time, the provincial government was considering a plan from BC Hydro to supply energy at $83 per megawatt hour.

Zerbe Air Sedan. The Zerbe Air Sedan was an American single engine quadruplane passenger aircraft project started by Professor James Slough Zerbe in 1918. The machine made one flight in 1921, was damaged during landing, and was subsequently abandoned.

Design and development
In 1918 Zerbe arrived in Fayetteville, Arkansas to begin work on passenger aircraft for local businessmen. The aircraft, completed in 1919, was a positive staggered equal span quadruplane with double cambered louvered main wings. Equipped with no tailplane or ailerons, the machine was controlled using "ganged" or linkage connected wings with variable-incidence.

The passenger cabin was made of plywood and fully enclosed with wide stance landing gear attached. A French World War I surplus powerplant was used, and has been reported to be a  LeRhône or  Gnôme rotary engine, but evidence suggests it was in fact a Le Rhône 9J of .

Operational history
The Air Sedan was piloted by Tom Flannery on its first and only flight in 1921 at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Fayetteville. The aircraft took off and quickly climbed to 100 ft (30 m), flew approximately 1000 ft (300 m) then was significantly damaged during landing.
One report states: "After that Zerbe left town never to be heard of or seen again. (He died in New York in 1921.) What happened to the abandoned damaged plane is unknown."

Stevenson, Jordan & Harrison Ltd v MacDonald & Evans. Stevenson, Jordan & Harrison Ltd v MacDonald & Evans [1952] 1 TLR 101 is a UK labour law case, concerning the right of employees to intellectual property in the work they produce.

Facts 
A management engineer wrote a book using information he gained while working for his firm, first as an employee, and then an executive officer. Some was from the text of lectures that he wrote and delivered, and some was material he acquired while on an assignment. He died before publication. The Copyright Act 1911 section 5(1) said that the author of a work is the first owner of a copyright. But if the author was under a contract of employment and the work was in the course of employment the employer would own the copyright in absence of another agreement. His old firm claimed the copyright.

Judgment
Denning LJ held the engineer simply put together his know how of the profession and had not betrayed any mystery of the firm’s business or disclosed trade secrets. His contract was mixed, partly of and partly for services outside the contract. His lecture work was not covered by the Act, but the material acquired while on assignment did fall within the Act. The publishers should be restrained from printing that section, which was severable.

Denning LJ said the following in his judgment.

Mawmen v Teg was distinguished, Waites v Franco-British Exhibition was applied, Cassidy v Ministry of Health was applied and Byrne v Statist Co was applied.

Pancake engine. The nickname pancake engine has been applied to several types of internal combustion engine, including:

 Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar jet engine
 Detroit Diesel Series 71 (horizontal version)
 Electro-Motive Diesel#EMD 'pancake' diesels 16-184 and 16-338 engines
 Nordberg Manufacturing Company radial diesel engine
 Volkswagen air-cooled engine
Uniflow engine. A uniflow engine is a piston engine where gas flow through the cylinder proceeds in a single unidirectional flow, without reversals between strokes. This gives thermodynamic advantages as each group of ports can stabilise at an equilibrium temperature, rather than being alternately heated and cooled. For internal combustion engines, scavenging is also improved by this consistent flow direction.

 Uniflow steam engine, a steam engine with a long uniflow cylinder that receives inlet steam at each end (for a double-acting engine) and exhausts through ports at the centre.
 Uniflow diesel engine, a two-stroke diesel engine with inlet through piston-ported fixed ports in the lower part of the cylinder, and exhaust through valves in the cylinder head.
 Opposed-piston diesel engines, where two cylinders share opposite ends of the same cylinder. These use piston-controlled ports for both inlet and exhaust.
Orion Live Ink. Orion Live Ink is a digitisation method which uses character recognition technology and question paper rubrics to publish examination results. It is an OWASP Top 10 and CERT-IN Standards certified secure application (certificate number SB/OISPL/#3427).

Development
The solution consists of a digital pen, tablet and a special printed paper used as the top sheet on answer booklets. The digital pen is used by an examiner to write marks on the top sheet. The pen digitizes marks in real time and transfers data to the tablet. The allotted marks is displayed on the tablet in handwritten form as well as digitized format. Once the user validates marks in the tablet, the data is encrypted and transferred to the centralized server of the education board.

Features
The tablet handles question paper rubrics application, marks totalling and captures the date and time of evaluation.
Once the marks are validated, the tablet as well as the digital pen does not contain any residual data.
An OLICR pen and tablet set could be shared by several evaluators at an evaluation camp since the set would be required only at the time of writing the marks on the top sheet, which would take approximately less than a minute per answer script.
Evaluators will continue to check and correct answer sheets using traditional pen and paper method of evaluation. So, there is no additional learning cycle required while using OLICR devices.
Once the marks data is transferred to the central servers, it is immediately available for download in the education board's server.

Board exams and entrance tests
Board examination results is a deciding factor for students who aim to apply in reputed colleges and institutes for further studies. The national and state-level competitive entrance examinations are often held at a date convenient to the respective college or institute organising the examination. One of the criteria to apply for these examinations is the board examination results. So, students wait for their tenth or twelfth board examination results to enable them to apply for entrance examinations. To make schools relevant to changing trends, school education boards and councils have started adopting new technology and methods to enable faster and accurate marks publication. By doing this, the boards and councils earn the goodwill of their students and also enhance their credibility in the market.

Reception
The Council of Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), a premier private board of school education in India, has utilized OLICR technology for academic year 2016 to publish marks. With the use of this technology, the results was published 2 weeks earlier than expected.
The solution won the National Award for the Most Innovative Product in the Testing & Assessment Category held at the e-India Summit held at Kovalam, Kerala State, India in mid-November 2014.

Botany Bay Groundwater Plume. Botany Bay Groundwater Plume is contamination of the local aquifer in Botany Bay caused by a chemical leak. The groundwater that flows into Botany Bay contains pollutants linked to cancer and is regarded as the worst case of groundwater contamination in Australia.

The plume originated from on old ICI site that was built in the 1940s and has been owned by Orica since 1997. The plant once manufactured paints, plastics and industrial chemicals such as solvents.

Millions of litres of toxic chemicals are estimated to have seeped through the sandy soils and into the aquifer, which is used as a water source for industry and residents. Levels of chemicals such as hexachlorobenzene and ethylene dichloride are at 5000 times their safe levels in some places
Testing in 1994 demonstrated levels of ethylene dichloride as high as 6,800 mg/L was present in the groundwater and the plumes are moving in a southerly direction at a rate of about  per year.
