Helen Stone. Helen Stone   is an English civil engineer and 
has been managing director of WS Atkins Structural Engineering, which she joined in 1972.

Early life 
Helen Elizabeth Stone was born in February 1950.

Education 
She attended the North London Collegiate School and was inspired to become a civil engineer through, in her own words, "a trip up the newly-opened M1 motorway when I was 10." She studied civil engineering at the University of Birmingham, obtained chartered status, and has worked on engineering projects including the Channel Tunnel, motorways, a theme park, a shopping centre, aircraft hangar and oil refinery.

Career 
In 1991 she became only the third woman to become a fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers and in 2002 she was elected a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. She is known for representing British engineering overseas, and has a particular interest in representing the interests of women in engineering. In an interview conducted by the Daily Telegraph, she shared her experience and asserted that in a wide range of countries, women were not being promoted to senior positions in engineering to the same extent as men. She chaired the Diversity Panel of the Construction Industry Council,  where she worked with professional bodies, research organisations, and specialist business associations in the UK construction industry. However, despite saying that "I am conscious that I have a responsibility to break down inappropriate barriers which prevent women engineers from making progress," she is not in favour of positive discrimination, believing that it could lead to a lowering of standards.

She served for nine years as a governor at Cheltenham Ladies' College, and was later chair of governors at the North London Collegiate School for 10 years.

She chaired the Ethics and Standards Board of the APM Group, an accreditation group.

She has been a director of several organisations including the London Hostels Association and the North London Collegiate School.

Karl F. Lopker. Karl Francis Lopker (December 19, 1951 – August 25, 2018) was an American business executive who was CEO of QAD Inc and a co-founder of Deckers Outdoor Corporation.

Early life and education 
Lopker was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in Downey, California. He attended Don Bosco Technical Institute and matriculated at the University of California, Santa Barbara from which he graduated with a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1973.

Deckers Outdoor Corporation 
While a senior at UCSB, Lopker with fellow UCSB student Doug Otto created Deckers Outdoor Corporation in 1973.  Lopker oversaw manufacturing of the production while Otto was responsible for sales and distribution.  Despite a growing company, Lopker decided he wanted to work in software and was bought out by Otto in 1982.  He joined QAD Inc as CEO, a company his wife, Pamela Lopker, founded.

QAD
Despite working at Deckers at the time, Lopker urged then-girlfriend Pamela to start QAD Inc.  The Lopkers made the decision to write one of their software programs to be able to run on multiple computers, launching their program, MFG/PRO, and the company to international success.  MFG/PRO was also the first manufacturing software program to use UNIX.  Lopker also made the decision to recruit PeopleSoft employees after their Oracle acquisition and subsequent layoffs.

UC Santa Barbara affiliation 
In addition to attending college at UCSB, Lopker and his wife were both honored by the UC Santa Barbara Alumni Association's "Distinguished Alumni Award" in 1998.  The Lopkers made a major donation to the university which resulted in the first endowed chair in computer science at the College of Engineering.

Personal life and death 
Lopker married business partner and UCSB alumnae, Pamela Meyer, in 1981 and would later have two children. On August 25, 2018, Lopker died of prostate cancer, 13 years after diagnosis.

List of Buran missions. The Buran programme was an attempt by the Soviet Union to construct an orbital spaceplane to perform similar functions to the Space Shuttle. Similar to the Space Shuttle programme, an aerodynamic prototype and a number of operational spacecraft were planned for the Buran programme, which were known as "Buran-class orbiters".

Test flights

The aerodynamic testbed OK-GLI was constructed in 1984 to test the in-flight properties of the Buran design. Unlike the American prototype Enterprise, OK-GLI had four AL-31 turbofan engines fitted, meaning it was able to fly under its own power.

The list does not include taxi tests without takeoffs.
All of these missions were landed at the Gromov Flight Research Institute test base.

Launches and orbital flights
The first operational orbiter, Buran flew one test mission, designated 1K1, on November 15, 1988 at 6:00:00 Moscow time.  The spacecraft was launched uncrewed from and landed at Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh S.S.R. and flew two orbits, traveling  in 3 hours, 25 minutes (0.14 flight days). Buran never flew again; the program was cancelled shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 2002, the Buran orbiter was destroyed by the collapse of the hangar in which it was stored.

Cancelled missions

Planned in 1989

Planned in 1991

Due to shortening of the program and delays in second flight preparations, mission plan for second orbiter included almost all significant test tasks. 
 automatic docking with Mir's Kristall module
 crew transfer from Mir to the shuttle, with testing of some of its systems in the course of twenty-four hours, including the remote manipulator
 undocking and autonomous flight in orbit

William R. Bertelsen. William R. Bertelsen (May 20, 1920 – July 16, 2009) was an American inventor who pioneered in the field of air-cushion vehicles (hovercraft). Bertelsen was most notable for being the inventor of the Aeromobile, which is credited as the first hovercraft to carry a human over land and water. In 2002, Bertelsen was named the "Father of the Air Cushion Vehicle" by The World Hovercraft Federation.
William R. Bertelsen married Alberta Menzel on September 21, 1946, in Homewood, Illinois.

He graduated from Rock Island High School in 1938 and studied mechanical engineering at the Indiana Institute of Technology for two years. Besides his busy career as a physician and inventor, Bertelsen was also a husband and father of four children. It was Bertelsen's career as a country medical doctor that primarily drove him to design and experiment with a variety of ACVs. His need for a way to reach rural patients in all forms of inclement weather quickly evolved into a life-long passion for developing alternative forms of transportation. Persisting through periods of encouragement and rejection alike, Bertelsen designed a number of ACVs and Ground Effect Machines (GEMs), including: Aeromobiles 35-1, 35-2, 72, 200-1, 200-2, 250-1; Arcopter GEM-1, GEM-2, GEM-3; and a vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL). He also developed other types of air cushion applications, such as the Aeroplow, the Aeroduct System of Mass Transportation, and the Air Track Air Cushion Crawler. Additionally, Bertelsen wrote scientific papers, appeared in publications, and participated professionally in a number of domestic and international air cushion vehicles organizations, such as the U.S. Hovercraft Society, the British Hovercraft Society, and the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute. Experiments and tests were often a family affair, as he liked to involve family and neighbors whenever practicable.

Bertelsen never truly retired, working for the Metro MRI Center in Moline, Illinois, until March 2009. His final blog posts, only months before his death on July 16, 2009, still encouraged innovation and new ways of thinking about transportation. Several of Bertelsen's vehicles are in the collections of the National Air and Space Museum.

In the media
In July 1959, he was featured on the cover of Popular Science magazine.
in 1996, his inventions were featured in Extreme Machines series on The Discovery Channel.

List of SDN controller software. Software-defined networking (SDN) is a marketing term which refers to software to configure and operate computer networks (especially data center networks) through a centralized software controller that dictates how the network behaves. The core of this new paradigm is the SDN controller.

There are typically two sets of SDN controllers:
 SDN controllers for the network function virtualization (NFV) of a datacenter,
 SDN controllers for managing the programmable switches of a network.

In case of SDN controllers for the NFV Infrastructure of a datacenter, they are mostly designed to provide some policy and centralized managements for the Openstack Neutron networking layer that will provide inter-working between the virtual ports created by Nova. The  technology of SDN controllers is to manage the Linux kernel features made of L3 IP routing, Linux bridges, iptables or ebtables, network namespaces and Open vSwitch.
