Polygone Scientifique. The Polygone Scientifique (en: Scientific Polygon), nowadays known as Presqu'Île (peninsula) is a neighborhood of the city of Grenoble in France. It includes a significant number of research centers in a peninsula between Isère and Drac.

History 
The area was formerly a polygone d'artillerie or artillery range, with ammunition depots, thus the name.

Polygon hosts in 1956 the first French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) outside Paris and created by Professor Louis Néel. In 1962, it hosts a campus CNRS. In 1967, the Laboratoire d'électronique et de technologie de l'information was founded by CEA and became one of the world’s largest organizations for applied research in microelectronics and nanotechnology.

Three international organizations are implanted between 1973 and 1988 with the Institut Laue–Langevin, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and one of the five branches of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. In 2006, the complex Minatec specializing in nanotechnology opens on the Polygon and in 2007, the Institut Néel, specializing in condensed matter physics, is founded.

National Laboratory for Intense Magnetic Fields has also numerous collaborations in terms of technical and technological innovations with these institutions.

In 2008, the new innovation campus is called GIANT (Grenoble Innovation for Advanced New Technologies).

In 2012, Clinatec is founded on Polygone Scientifique by Professor Alim-Louis Benabid.

Transportation 
The Polygon is served by Grenoble tramway.

DRG Class ET 169. The DR Class ET 169 (until 1941: Type "Bernau") was the first class of electric multiple units for use on the Berlin S-Bahn commuter lines. 17 five car units were ordered by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1925, each comprising two motor cars with bogies and three short four-wheelers. They were intended for service on the northern lines from Stettiner Station to the rural towns Bernau, Oranienburg and Velten.

History
Already before the electrified S-Bahn came about, there was a trial for the electrified commuter trains running from Potsdamer Wannseebahnhof to Zehlendorf in 1902 and from Potsdamer Ringbahnhof to Lichterfelde Ost from 1903. Also in 1903, the AEG company ran an overhead wire test track from Niederschöneweide to Spindlersfeld. Electrification has also came about to the solutions to increase capacity along the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vorortbahn.

World War I interrupted the electrification plans from 1914 to 1918, which, however, were revived just afterwards. In 1920 the Prussian state railways ordered six test trains, which were first pulled by steam locomotives until electrification commenced in 1923. One year later, on 8 August 1924, the first section from Stettiner Vorortbahnhof to Bernau was inaugurated; the two other northern railway lines to Oranienburg and Velten (Kremmen Railway) followed until 1927. To service all electrified connections, Deutsche Reichsbahn purchased 34 power cars and 51 trailers in total.

In everyday operation, however, the engines soon proved to be too weak and already in 1925 upgraded versions (the later DR Class ET 168 and ET 165) were ordered in large numbers. Moreover, the ET 169 railcars were too large to pass the Berlin Nord-Süd Tunnel opened in 1936, and had to be deployed on the Ringbahn line. Plans for a withdrawal from service were not carried out due to the wagon shortage during World War II.

After the war, the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn had planned to use modernized ET 169 trains on branch lines from Wannsee to Stahnsdorf and from Zehlendorf to Düppel, or as additional trains on the northern Ringbahn and on the Siemensbahn branch from Jungfernheide. However, when the Berlin S-Bahn was divided due to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, they were all again allocated to the Oranienburg, Bernau and Velten stretches of the line.

The trainsets were phased out from 1962 and most trains were withdrawn in 1969. Some components were re-used for the rolling stock of the  East Berlin U-Bahn line E.

Surviving carriages 

Motor unit ET 169 005b, withdrawn as early as 1943, survived as a grounded body. Its remains were acquired by the German Museum of Technology in 2019. The museum also owns trailing coach EB 169 005a while two more of these four-wheelers (EB 169 002b and EB 169 006c) are privately owned. Berlin S-Bahn and the Technology Museum are considering their restoration for S-Bahn centennial celebrations due in 2024.

Relational Semantics, Inc.. Relational Semantics, Inc. (RSI) is an American software company that specializes in case management systems for state courts and agencies.  Founded in 1983, RSI is based in Boston, Massachusetts,

The Massachusetts Appellate Courts system and other court systems in New England, use RSI's Forecourt judicial case management system to automate case workflows and to provide web-based public access to case information.

History 

RSI was founded in 1983. Bob Gorman currently serves as RSI's president and lead software architect.

An early version of RSI's case management technology was adopted by the Vermont Judicial Bureau in 1990 to computerize workflows associated with traffic court cases.

RSI's Forecourt software was adopted by the Massachusetts Appellate Courts (comprising the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court) as a pilot program in the late 1990s and then implemented state-wide in 2001. Starting in 2003 the Appellate Courts used RSI technology to allow web-based public access to non-confidential case information in the Forecourt system. An updated version of the system and its web portal remain in use as of November 2015.  In 2014 RSI updated the system to ingest electronically filed case documents from attorneys and litigants, such as briefs and motions.

Forecourt was adopted by the Connecticut Housing Court in 2002. The system remains in use as of November 2015.

Products 

RSI's Forecourt judicial case management system coordinates and automates workflows throughout the case lifecycle from case initiation, docketing, and calendaring, through to final disposition and reporting. RSI's extensions to the core Forecourt system support web publishing, role-sensitive mobile access, and integration with external systems including e-filing portals.

RSI also makes Paragon software which supports state agencies in managing various types of case work. The Vermont Division of Fire Safety uses Paragon to manage inspection and safety information for structures statewide.

Copper peroxide. Copper peroxide is a hypothetical inorganic compound with the chemical formula .  The 1:2 ratio of copper and oxygen would be consistent with copper in its common +2 oxidation state and a peroxide group. Although samples of this composition have not been isolated,  has attracted interest from computational perspective.  One highly cited analysis concludes that gaseous  is a superoxide, with copper in a +1 oxidation state: .

History
Species claimed to be "copper peroxide" have been claimed, e.g., by the reaction of cold solutions of Schweizer's reagent—a source of copper(II)—and hydrogen peroxide.. The Schweizer's reagent used must not contain excess ammonia.

It was once claimed to result from the very slow reaction of finely divided cupric oxide with cold hydrogen peroxide.

Several molecular copper peroxide complexes have been reported, but these species always feature supporting organic ligands.

Paraavis Mirage. The Paraavis Mirage is a Russian paramotor that was designed and produced by Paraavis of Moscow for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Mirage was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single  Cors'Air M21Y engine in pusher configuration with a 2.6:1 ratio reduction drive and a  diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is . The aircraft's propeller cage is built from titanium to give high strength at low weight, as is the propeller leading edge protection.

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.

Reviewer Rene Coulon said of the design, "with a Cors'Air engine, its strength power and flexibility are an ideal compromise."

Ranaram Bishnoi. Ranaram Bishnoi is an environmentalist of Ekalkhori village near Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. He initiated planting trees in the desert and dry area near his village. He planted over 27,000 trees in 25 bigha land with a large earthen pitcher single-handedly. He is known as ahhu "tree-man" by the people of the area.

He believes that non-human species have equal or rather more rights to live on earth than humans. He said that "the plants and the animals were on the planet much before we landed here. They have more rights on the planet than us and if we cannot give that to them at least we can ensure we don’t destroy them in our greed.”

His co-worker is Khamu Ram Bishnoi, also known as Turban man. Planting these trees he stopped the desert from expanding over his village potentially ruining hundreds of crops.

Cowan Tunnel. The Cowan Tunnel, or Cumberland Mountain Tunnel, is a railroad tunnel near Cowan, Tennessee.

The tunnel was built by the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad Company and was completed in 1852 with the tracks laid in 1853 with a total length of .  The strategically important tunnel, part of the rail linkage between the Midwestern United States and the Southeastern United States, played a vital role during the American Civil War.  It was considered a major engineering feat at the time. It is still operational and owned by CSX Railroad.  The tunnel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

History 
Construction on the tunnel began in 1849 and was completed in 1852 with the tracks completed in 1853.  Work was undertaken by slaves, Irish immigrants, and local workers with Swiss engineers.  Three ventilation shafts approximately  deep were created during the construction to facilitate air circulation, provide additional work areas, and to enable evacuation of steam and smoke from the steam locomotives during use. The importance of the tunnel was recognized during the American Civil War with both sides fighting over but never destroying the tunnel.  The use of the tunnel continues today with freight trains frequently running through it.
