Aristaeus-class repair ship. The Aristaeus-class repair ship was a class of repair ships of the United States Navy during the Second World War.

Development 
Thirteen ships was converted into a repair ship throughout the later stages of World War II. The ships were converted from the LST-1, LST-491 and LST-542 classes. After the war, few ships were then sold to foreign countries such as Brazil, Greece, Norway and West Germany.

The ship's hull remained nearly the same but with new equipments to carry out her purpose now placed on deck alongside several cranes. The ships' armament had been slightly changed and relocated to make way for the ships' equipments. All ships served in the Pacific Theater until the end of the war with no ships lost in combat.

MV Gordon Jensen (ex-USS Zeus) is still active to this day, serving as a transport and berthing vessel for SNOPAC Products Inc. processing crews in Alaska.

ARB-13 (ex-USS LST-50) was redesignated as a repair ship on 14 November 1952. She was sold to Norway as HNoMS Ellida (A534) and later sold to Greece as Sakipis (A329).

Cloud workload protection platform. A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) is a computer security software aimed at securing (potentially virtual) computer machines. CWPPs are usually agent-based, meaning that a software agent is running permanently within the machine to be protected, collecting security-relevant data and events and sending those to a cloud-based service. The cloud-based service monitors all the machines under its supervision, derives alerts and notifies users about corresponding potential security threats.

Gartner maintains a list of CWPP vendor-based solutions.

Min Jiang-class minelayer. The Min Jiang-class minelayer is a class of minelayers in service with the Republic of China Navy (ROCN) built by Lung Teh Shipbuilding.

Naming
The vessels are referred to as the Min Jiang-class by the media. However, the official class designation remains unknown. The first vessel is designated FMLB-I, with FMLB standing for Fast Mine Laying Boat. It is assumed that the other minelayers have a similar designation

Design
The Min Jiang-class displaces 347 tons at full load, with a maximum speed of 14 knots. Length is 41m, width is 8.8m and draft is 1.7m.

The vessels have a precision automatic mine laying system. In addition to its mines, the vessels are equipped with a T-75 cannon and T74 machine guns. These are most likely intended to be used in the anti-aircraft role or against small boat swarms

Service history
The first vessel was launched in August 2020 at Lung Teh Shipbuilding's Yilan County Shipyard.

The second vessel was delivered in September 2021, and the ROCN took delivery of the third and fourth vessel in December 2021.

The Min Jiang-class replaced converted amphibious landing craft in the minelaying role.

Stoke Space. Stoke Space Technologies is an American space launch company based in the Seattle suburb of Kent, Washington.

History
The company was founded by a group of former Blue Origin and SpaceX employees. In May 2020, the company won a $225,000 SBIR Phase I grant from the National Science Foundation to work on an integrated propulsion solution for reusable rocket upper stages. In February 2021, the company raised $9.1 million in seed funding in a round led by venture funds NFX Guild and MaC Venture Capital. In December 2021, the company raised $65 million in a Series A round led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, funding development and testing of the upper stage of a reusable launch vehicle.

In 2022, the company created a prototype of their second stage engine ring. Their prototype had at least 22 static fires in total. 

In 2023, Stoke Space had an interview with Tim Dodd (also known as The Everyday Astronaut), wherein the CEO Andy Lapsa revealed their plan to create a fully and rapidly reusable orbital rocket.

In the first months of 2023, Stoke Space finished the construction of Hopper1, a full-scale second stage prototype, intended to test fluid mechanics in the vehicle. On March 8, 2023, the company was given LC-14 in Florida as a future launch pad for their vehicles. On March 18, Stoke Space's second stage conducted a Wet Dress Rehearsal, where the company loaded both Liquid Oxygen (LOX) and Liquid Hydrogen into the stage's tanks, preparing it for launch without igniting the engines.

On September 17, 2023, Stoke Space conducted a 10 meter "hop" test of "Hopper2", testing their unique differential steering method. 

In 15 seconds, the vehicle ignited its 15 thrust chambers (half of the amount used on the operational vehicle), lifted 30 feet off the ground, showed its ability to steer without gimballing the engine like traditional rockets, and tested the actively cooled heat shield before successfully landing under three landing struts. In October 2023, Stoke Space announced a $100 million Series B funding round led by Industrious Ventures.

In April 2024, the company announced it had completed assembly and installation of a first stage engine for test firing. In May 2024, the company announced significant construction progress in their engine test firing stand. The first successful hot fire of Stoke Space's Full Flow Staged Combustion (FFSC) Engine named Zenith was reported in June 2024.

Facilities
The company operates a rocket test facility on a  site near Moses Lake's airport. Additionally, they also operate a 168,000 square foot assembly facility in Kent, Washington, which also doubles as their headquarters and planned mission control.

Advanced packaging (semiconductors). Advanced packaging is the aggregation and interconnection of components before traditional integrated circuit packaging where a single die is packaged.  Advanced packaging allows multiple devices, including electrical, mechanical, or semiconductor devices, to be merged and packaged as a single electronic device. Advanced packaging uses processes and techniques that are typically performed at semiconductor fabrication facilities, unlike traditional integrated circuit packaging, which does not. Advanced packaging thus sits between fabrication and traditional packaging -- or, in other terminology, between BEoL and post-fab.  Advanced packaging includes multi-chip modules, 3D ICs, 2.5D ICs, heterogeneous integration, fan-out wafer-level packaging, system-in-package, quilt packaging, combining logic (processors) and memory in a single package, die stacking, wafer bonding/stacking, several chiplets or dies in a package, combinations of these techniques, and others. 2.5D and 3D ICs are also called 2.5D or 3D packages.

Advanced packaging can help achieve performance gains through the integration of several devices in one package and associated efficiency gains (by reducing the distances signals have to travel, in other words reducing signal paths), and allowing for high numbers of connections between devices, without having to resort to smaller transistors which have become increasingly more difficult to manufacture. Fan-out packaging is seen as a low cost option for advanced packaging.

Advanced Packaging is considered fundamental in expanding the Moore’s Law. An example of heterogeneus integration is Intel's EMIB, which uses "bridges" made on silicon substrates, to connect different dies together. Another example is TSMC's CoWoS (chip-on-wafer-on-substrate) technology which uses an interposer. Advanced packaging is closely related to system integration, used in systems related to "artificial intelligence, machine learning, automotive, and 5G" to name a few. System integration consists of "ways to avoid putting everything on a single chip by creating a system that interconnects multiple smaller chips, or chiplets" Advanced packages can have chiplets from several vendors. To enable this, standards for connecting chiplets have been developed such as
UCie.

James Andrews (stonemason). James Andrews (October 7, 1828 – July 6, 1897) was a Scottish-American stonemason, engineer, and capitalist who collaborated with civil engineer James Buchanan Eads on such projects as the Eads Bridge in St. Louis, the Mississippi River jetties, and a proposed railway system across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. He was reportedly a millionaire by the end of his life, having accrued a fortune of at least $32 million in 2022 dollars. His Heathside Cottage in the Fineview neighborhood of Pittsburgh is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He was known for much of his life as "Col. James Andrews," though he never served in the military.

Work

Andrews received no formal education, going immediately into a masonry apprenticeship as a young man. In his early 20s, he won a contract to oversee the masonry work on a new post office in downtown Pittsburgh, which served as the city's main post office from 1853 until 1891. As his career progressed, he turned his attention to bridges and tunnels. Andrews directed construction of the masonry piers of the Eads Bridge, constructed between 1867 and 1874, and in so doing formed a relationship with Eads himself. Andrews later served as mason for Eads' South Pass jetties, which eased passage by ships through the mouth of the Mississippi River. Andrews and Eads eventually produced designs for a railroad to span the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, proposed as an alternative to the Panama Canal. The railway system was intended to transport entire ships between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean

Andrews' also directed for some time the Pittsburgh Steel and Iron Company and the Federal Street & Pleasant Valley Railway Company, which was based in Allegheny City.

Personal life

James Andrews was born on October 10, 1827, in New Abbey, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland and immigrated to the United States from Scotland as a boy. He lived for much of his adult life in the city of Allegheny, the North Side of present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He married Irish immigrant Maria Carson in 1849. He commissioned a home for his family on Allegheny's Nunnery Hill, Heathside Cottage, between 1864 and 1866, and moved there soon thereafter.  The Andrews moved into a much larger estate — Ingleside Place, also on Nunnery Hill — in the early 1880s. Andrews had the neighborhood's namesake "Nunnery," the old St. Clare's Seminary, demolished to build his new manor. The estate was named in reference to Ingleston, a town in Scotland owned by Andrews' father. Andrews died at Ingleside Place on July 6, 1897, of a kidney ailment. Maria continued to live there until her death in 1926 at age 98. The estate was left abandoned and later sold by the Andrews' heirs to the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh in 1941.
