Driving factors. In energy monitoring and targeting, a driving factor is something recurrent and measurable whose variation explains variation in energy consumption. The term independent variable is sometimes used as a synonym.

One of the most common driving factors is the weather, expressed usually as heating or cooling degree days. In energy-intensive processes, production throughputs would usually be used. For electrical circuits feeding outdoor lighting, the number of hours of darkness can be employed. For a borehole pump, the quantity of water delivered would be used; and so on. What these examples all have in common is that on a weekly basis (say) numerical values can be recorded for each factor and one would expect particular streams of energy consumption to correlate with them either singly or in a  multivariate model.

Correlation is arguably more important than causality. Variation in the driving factor merely has to explain variation in consumption; it does not necessarily have to cause it, although that will in most scenarios be the case.

Driving factors differ from static factors, such as building floor areas, which determine energy consumption but change only rarely (if at all).

Ernst Weinschenk. Ernst Heinrich Oskar Kasimir Weinschenk (6 April 1865, Esslingen am Neckar – 26 March 1921, Munich) was a German mineralogist and petrologist.

He served as a professor at the "Technische Hochschule" in Munich (1897–1921) and at the University of Munich (from 1900). His scientific research included mineralogical analysis of meteorites, and studies of contact-metamorphic mineralization in the Alpine region of central Europe. He also conducted investigations on the origin of the sulfidic ore deposit at Silberberg in the Bavarian Forest, as well as the genesis of graphite deposits near Passau. Through the use of polarizing microscopy and thin sectioning, he determined numerous new minerals.

Written works 
Weinschenk's Grundzüge der Gesteinskunde was translated into English in 1916 by Albert Johannsen as "The fundamental principles of petrology". With mineralogist Konrad Oebbeke (1853–1932), he published editions 6 (1899) & 7 (1913) of Wolfgang Franz von Kobell's Lehrbuch Der Mineralogie : in leichtfasslicher Darstellung. Other works by Weinschenk include:
 Allgemeine Gesteinskunde, 1902 – General petrology
 Specielle Gesteinskunde, 1905 – Special petrology
 "Petrographic methods", the authorized English translation of Part I, Anleitung zum gebrauch des polarisationsmikroskops (3d rev. ed.) and Part II, Die gesteinsbildenden mineralien (2d rev. ed.) – translated into English by  Robert Watson Clark.
 Allgemeine Gesteinskunde als Grundlage der Geologie, 1913 – General petrology and foundation of geology.
 Petrographisches vademekum : ein Hilfsbuch für Geologen, Geographen und Technike. 1924 – Petrographic handbook, a book for geologists, geographers, and technicians.

Daniel E. Friedmann. Daniel E. Friedmann serves as Carbon Engineering's CEO and Board Chair. Friedmann assumed the role of CEO in January, 2022, having served on CE's board for the previous five years, four of which as Board Chair.

Until 2016, Friedmann was CEO of MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates for 20 years, during which time the company's revenue grew 19-fold and market capitalization increased 35-fold.

Career
Friedmann was born Sept. 19, 1956, in Chile, and immigrated to Vancouver as a teenager; his family was part of a group that left Chile during the presidency of Salvador Allende. He studied engineering physics at the University of British Columbia and in 1979 went to work for MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates, a company that at that time specialized in hardware and software for satellite ground stations. Over time the company started to work on satellites, designing and eventually owning Canada's RADARSAT system, and around 1990 diversified into software for the real estate industry, buying BC OnLine from provincial government of British Columbia. Friedmann rose through the ranks and became president in 1993 and CEO in 1995.  As CEO he tried to focus the company on the real estate business and to exit the satellite business by selling it to a US company in 2008; the Canadian government vetoed the deal on national security grounds. Friedmann sold the real estate business in 2010 and focused MDA on developing businesses based on its engineering expertise, like robotics, and going deeper into the satellite business, buying the satellite builder, SSL in 2012.

Friedmann stepped down as CEO in 2016 to make way for an executive from the US.

Friedmann was selected as a 2015–2016 Brendan Wood TopGun CEO in Canada for Technology, Media and Telecommunications.

Friedmann is currently CEO and Chairman of Carbon Engineering, a company dedicated to removing CO2 from the air to aid in solving climate change.

Self-published books 

He has published several books: The Genesis One Code in 2012, The Broken Gift in 2013. The books offered his beliefs about how the Tanakh can be reconciled with modern scientific understanding.
He also published Roadmap to the End of Days in 2017, The Biblical Clock in 2019, Mysteries of the First Instant in 2021, and a business book An MBA from Heaven in 2019.

History

With roots in analog computer systems used for real-time applications where digital computers could not meet low-latency computational requirements, Applied Dynamics International moved from proprietary hardware architectures to commercial computing equipment over several decades. The Real-Time Station (RTS) was Applied Dynamics first entry into using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) computer hardware. Included with the sale of the RTS was the Applied Dynamics software package called "SIMsystem". In 2001, version 7.0 of SIMsystem was released. From 2001 to 2006 Applied Dynamics reworked their software and hardware products to make better use of COTS processors, computer boards, open source software technology and to better abstract software components from the hardware equipment. In 2006, Applied Dynamics announced a beta release of the "ADvantage Framework". The ADvantage brand provided an umbrella for the disparate software components that were formerly included in the SIMsystem package and offered a single software environment to support VME, PC-based, and desktop real-time simulation activities.

Gas lighter. A gas lighter is a device used to ignite a gas stove burner. It is used for gas stoves which do not have automatic ignition systems. It uses a physical phenomenon which is called the piezo-electric effect to generate an electric spark that ignites the combustible gas from the stove’s burner.

Principle
The phenomenon of piezo-electric effect can be briefly explained as follows: when pressure is applied along one axis of a crystal (mechanical axis), a potential difference develops across the transverse axis (electrical axis) of the crystal. The crystals which exhibit such property are called piezo-electric crystals. Tourmaline and quartz are some well known piezo-electric crystals.

Operation
The gas lighter is mostly cylindrical in shape and consists of a piezo-electric crystal over which a spring-loaded hammer is placed. The hammer and spring set up is attached to a button. When this button is pressed, the hammer is moved away from the piezo-electric crystal. When the button is pressed over a limit, the spring releases the hammer. The hammer hits the piezo-electric crystal. Due to piezo-electric effect, a high voltage is generated in the range of 800 volts. The lighter is wired in such a way that this whole voltage is applied in a small region of air gap between two metallic points. Due to high voltage generated, the air is ionized and acts as a path for the discharge. This electric discharge is the spark which when exposed to the combustible gas from the stove ignites it to produce flame. In gas lighters, piezo-electric ceramics like lead zirconate titanate also known as PZT are used due to their low cost and high sensitivity.

Older versions
Before piezo-electric lighters became available, gas stove burners were often lit with a flint spark lighter. Some examples of these are shown below.

Space Technology Research Vehicle. Space Technology Research Vehicle, or STRV, was a series of British microsatellites which operated in elliptical orbits around the Earth. The satellites were built by the Defence Research Agency at Farnborough, for the UK Ministry of Defence.

Mission
The series of four satellites, launched as two pairs, were designed to test new technologies in the harsh radiation environment of a geostationary transfer orbit. Each satellite had an expected 1 year life-time and carries myriad detectors, sensors and other equipment for a variety of organisations including the UK MoD, ESA and the US Department of Defense. The satellites were controlled from the DRA groundstation at Lasham in the UK. Several of the STRV satellites' experiments also recorded proton and electron data as they repeatedly passed through the Van Allen Belts.

Payloads
Two satellites were launched in June 1994 and another two were launched in November 2000, from the space center in French Guiana.

STRV 1A & 1B
STRV 1A and STRV 1B are cube-shaped micro-satellites each with a mass of 50 kg. They were launched into orbit to test new solar cells and measure static charge on its surfaces.

STRV 1C & 1D
STRV 1C and STRV 1D are cube-shaped micro-satellite each with a mass of 100 kg and carry test technology devices including lithium ion batteries and a GPS receiver.

NOS/VE. NOS/VE (Network Operating System / Virtual Environment) is a discontinued operating system with time-sharing capabilities, written by Control Data Corporation in the 1980s. It is a virtual memory operating system, employing the 64-bit virtual mode of the CDC Cyber 180 series computers. NOS/VE replaced the earlier NOS and NOS/BE operating systems of the 1970s.

Commands
The command shell interface for NOS/VE is called the System Command Language, or SCL for short. In order to be callable from SCL, command programs must declare their parameters; this permits automatic usage summaries, passing of parameters by name or by position, and type checking on the parameter values. All standard NOS/VE commands further follow a particular naming convention, where the form of the command is  verb{_adjective}_noun; these commands could be abbreviated with the first three characters of the verb followed by the first character(s) of all further words. Examples:

Inspired by addressing structure-members in various programming languages, the catalog separator is the dot.

Subsystems like FTP integrate into the command shell.  They change the prompt and add commands like get_file.  Thereby statements like flow-control stay the same and subsystems can be mixed in procedures (scripts).

Parameters
Commands could take parameters such as the create_connection command:
crec telnet sd='10.1.2.3'
would connect you to IP address 10.1.2.3 with telnet service.

Edmond Bour. Jacques Edmond Émile Bour (; 19 May 1832 – 8 March 1866) was a French engineer famous for the . His parents were Joseph Bour and Gabrielle Jeunet.

He was a student at l'École Polytechnique and graduated at the top of his class in 1852. After teaching for a year as a professor at l'École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, he became a professor of engineering at l'École Polytechnique. In 1858 he obtained the grand prize in mathematics from the Académie des Sciences for his treatise on L'intégration des équations aux dérivées partielles des premier et deuxième degrés. Most of his work was on the deformation of surfaces, and in particular, he introduced the sine–Gordon equation in 1862.

Bour died on March 8, 1866, in his thirty-fourth year, at Val-de-Grâce from an illness activated, if not provoked, by the fatigues of two long journeys, one to Algeria, for the observation of the eclipse of July 18, 1860, the other to Asia Minor, during the summer of 1863, for long metallurgical explorations.
