Armed-forces artificer. An artificer is an appointment held by a member of an armed forces service who is skilled at working on electronic, electrical, electro-mechanical and/or mechanical devices. The specific term "artificer" for this function is typical of the armed forces of countries that are or have been in the British Commonwealth and refers to a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer. Artificer is a job title and not a rank.

Qualification to hold the position and title of Artificer requires years of training and service in order to gain the experience and rank required. In the British Forces, soldiers in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) or Royal Marines with the rank of Sergeant who have also qualified as Class 1 tradesmen are eligible for consideration for the Artificers course. Upon completion of the 18-month Artificers course, soldiers are promoted to Staff Sergeant (one rank above Sergeant in the British Army) and presented with the Artificers badge. They are also awarded a HND/Degree. Artificers are addressed as Tiff or 'The Tiffy', and may oversee the maintenance and repair of a unit's mechanical equipment, help to develop new equipment, or become further qualified on specific equipment.

Corps of Artificers served during the American Revolution and American Civil Wars. The rank of Artificer (abbreviated Art.), was also used in the United States army during the American Indian Wars.

Examples include:
 Artificer Sergeant Major, an appointment held by a Warrant Officer Class 1 in the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.  A Warrant Officer Artificer may be further trained in additional skills, e.g. from Radio Mechanic to include Radar, Computers and other electronic equipment.

 A soldier of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers selected for special electro-mechanical training and rapid promotion to the rank of Staff Sergeant
 Royal Artificers, a corps of the British army which in 1813 became the Royal Sappers and Miners, which in 1856 merged into the Royal Engineers
 Armament Artificer, an Appointment by suitability qualified NCO technicians in the ordnance corps of the Irish Defence Forces who inspect, service and repair heavy ordnance weapons in artillery, air defence, Cavalry and Naval formations
 Royal Navy Artificer, a highly-skilled naval rating who has successfully undergone a five-year formal apprenticeship in skill-of-hand and specialist knowledge training in His Majesty's ships and training establishments, a position which ceased in 2010 as a result of engineering branch restructuring.

Midwest Steel & Iron Works. Midwest Steel & Iron Works was a metal fabrication company based in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 1893, the company was known for a time as the Jackson-Richter Iron Works. The company was one of the oldest and largest metal fabricators in Denver. The company built both structural and ornamental components for structures throughout Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. The company's headquarters on Larimer Street in Denver includes an Art Deco office building and consists of a four-building complex that is itself considered a historic industrial site. The complex served as the company's headquarters from 1923 to 1983.

Among other works, the company manufactured the four Big Thompson River bridges in Estes Park and Loveland, Colorado, all of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History 
The office building was built in 1906 and expanded in 1930 and in 1955. The 1930 addition was a two-story Art Deco style brick  by  building designed by Denver architect Roland L. Linder.

The shop building was built in 1911 and expanded in 1923, 1952, and 1967. While most of the firm's early machinery no longer exists, the shop contains an original rivet forge from circa 1925.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included two contributing buildings on .

In 2018, following a period of renovations, the building was reopened as a private event space.

Air National Guard Air Force Reserve Command Test Center. The Air National Guard Air Force Reserve Command Test Center (AATC) is a unit of the Air National Guard, stationed at Tucson Air National Guard Base, Arizona.  It is a tenant unit hosted by the 162d Fighter Wing, Arizona Air National Guard.

Overview
AATC conducts operational test (OT) on behalf of each United States Air Force Major Command and possesses 7 F-16C Fighting Falcon Block 25/32 aircraft to support the primary mission of F-16 Operational Flight Program (OFP) testing.

AATC also operates a temporary A-10A Thunderbolt II OT detachment at Davis–Monthan AFB, with the support of the 917th Wing, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana and the host 355th Wing at Davis–Monthan.

The unit also is tasked and accomplishes testing on a wide variety of other Air Reserve Command aircraft, including F-16 Block 40/42, B-52, F-15A/B, HH-60, HC-130 and electronic combat systems for those aircraft. AATC has also conducted testing in support of Air Mobility Command on C-130, C-5, KC-10 and KC-135 aircraft.

AATC is uniquely postured to take advantage of modernization efforts that are funded by the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account (NGREA) which is unprogrammed funding suited to near-term improvements. AATC efforts exploiting NGREA resources complement long-range AF programs and have enabled transformational modernization efforts such as Night Vision Devices for fighter aircraft (first fielded in the ARC), Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL), a low-cost datalink complementing AF network enabled operations, and Litening Targeting Pods, which greatly increased the number of precision strike aircraft in the AF inventory and revolutionized how the AF delivers joint fires and conducts non-traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

Edward H. Knight. Edward Henry Knight (1 June 1824, London - 22 January 1883, Bellefontaine, Ohio) was a United States mechanical expert.

Biography
He was educated at the Friends' school in England. He studied surgery, engraving, mechanics, and civil engineering, and emigrated to the United States in 1845. He settled in Cincinnati, where he became a patent lawyer for several years, and then worked at agricultural pursuits.

In 1863, he accepted a position in the United States Patent Office in Washington, D.C., to work on the preparation of the annual reports. He also acting as surgeon under the United States Christian Commission. The meagre reports that were then issued at governmental expense for gratuitous distribution by the Patent Office were replaced by him in 1871 by the Official Gazette of the United States Patent-Office, which was issued as a profitable weekly publication. He also organized the classification of inventions.

He was a member of the international juries at the World's Fairs in Philadelphia and Atlanta, was United States commissioner to the World's Fair in Paris in 1878, and was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French government in recognition for his services at the last-named fair. He edited the Reports of the Paris Exposition, to which he contributed chapters on  “Agricultural Implements” and “Clocks and Watches.” Besides many official reports, he wrote the American Mechanical Dictionary (3 vol., 1876), the New Mechanical Dictionary (Boston, 1884), and  “A Study of the Savage Weapons at the Centennial Exhibition” (in the Smithsonian Institution's Annual Report for 1879, p. 213, Washington, 1880). He compiled A Library of Poetry and Song (New York, 1870; revised ed., 1876).

He received the degree of LL.D. in 1876 from Iowa Wesleyan College. His brain was found to weigh 64 ounces, being the second largest on record, that of Cuvier weighing 64½ ounces.

APEV Pouchel Classic. The APEV Pouchel Classic () is a French amateur-built aircraft, designed by Daniel Dalby and produced by APEV of Peynier. The aircraft is supplied as plans or as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Pouchel Classic is derived from the APEV Pouchel, which is itself a derivative of the classic 1930s Henri Mignet-designed Mignet Pou-du-Ciel (Flying Flea). The design features a cantilever rear wing and a strut-braced front parasol wing, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The Pouchel Classic differs from the earlier Pouchel in that it has a newly designed wooden fuselage to replace the aluminium ladder and rectangular tube design of the Pouchel and the Pouchel II. The Pouchel Classic's fuselage is also longer. Its  span front wing and  span rear wing have a combined area of  and employ NACA 23112 airfoils. Flying surfaces are covered in Dacron sailcloth. Standard engines recommended are the  Rotax 377 or the  Rotax 447 two-stroke powerplants.

Water sampler. A water sampler is a device for field collection of one or more samples of water for testing. There are many different designs of water samplers. Selection or a particular sampler type depends on the type of analysis to be performed (e.g. ambient water quality or wastewater), the type of water source (e.g. a lake or pond, small stream or large river, coastal waters or deep ocean) and other factors such as ambient environmental conditions (e.g. collection of stormwater during a rain event vs. ambient water sampling during dry weather). Some sampler devices are designed for manual collection (a grab sample). Composite samplers can be configured to collect multiple samples over a specified time period or flow regime.

Coriolis (project). Coriolis involves 7 institutes in operational oceanography in France (CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IPEV, IRD, Météo-France, Shom) decided in 2001 to joint their efforts within Coriolis in order to:

 organise and maintain data acquisition in real-time and delayed mode of in-situ measurements necessary for operational oceanography.
 Set up an operational in-situ data centre,
 develop and improve the technology necessary for operational oceanography.

Context 
Data useful for operational oceanography, are obtained by diverse means including in-situ (ships, drifters, floats, moorings, etc.) and satellites. They come in very different forms, from a single variable measured at a single point to multivariate, four-dimensional collections of data that can represent data volumes from a few bytes to gigabytes. In the 2000s, there began the emergence of assembly centres that:
 integrate data coming from a wide variety of platforms and providers (including scientists, national data centres, satellite data centres and operational agencies),
 get enough information from the originators to be able to know exactly how the data have been acquired and processed (documented and commonly agreed QC procedures, history of the processing),
 and then distribute them in an agreed standard (speaking the same language).

Coriolis (project) action has permitted to build one of these Data Assembly Centers that has originally been designed to provide the French ocean forecasting centers, MERCATOR-Océan and French Hydrographic Service ( SHOM), with real-time qualified and integrated products, first for assimilation and then for validation purposes particularly in the framework of MyOcean European project. With the arrival of re-analysed products, such as CORA dataset, Coriolis is also able to serve the research community.

APEV Pouchel Light. The APEV Pouchel Light () is a French amateur-built aircraft, designed by Daniel Dalby and produced by APEV of Peynier. The aircraft is supplied as plans or as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Pouchel Light replaced the Pouchel II in production, which in turn replaced the original APEV Pouchel. The original Pouchel was constructed using three commercially available aluminium ladders, hence APEV is the Association pour la Promotion des Echelles Volantes, or in English, Association for the Promotion of Flying Ladders. Later models were forced to move to rectangular aluminium tubing when the ladder manufacturer grew concerned about liability.

The Pouchel Light is a re-designed,  lighter version of the Pouchel II that it replaces in production, with an empty weight of . The Pouchel series are all derivatives of the classic 1930s Henri Mignet-designed Mignet Pou-du-Ciel (Flying Flea).

The Pouchel Light features a cantilever rear wing with a strut-braced parasol front wing, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing. The wings are the same as those used on the Scoutchel and are built around a single aluminium spar, with ribs made from extruded polystyrene with plywood bracing, all bonded to fibreglass leading and trailing edges, covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its  span front wing and  span rear have a combined area of  and both employ NACA 23112 airfoils. Recommended engines are the  Rotax 377 or the  Rotax 447 two-stroke powerplants.
