Project Huriwaka. Project Huriwaka is a proposed wind farm located on the Hihitahi Plateau between Waiouru and Taihape, New Zealand. The project was originally developed and consented by Meridian Energy, but the consents were allowed to lapse. In May 2023 the rights to develop the project were acquired by Manawa Energy.

Consent process 
Meridian Energy applied for resource consents for a 52 turbine farm generating 130 MW in 2008.  The consent hearing was held in December and Horizons Regional Council granted the resource consents in February 2009. The decision was appealed to the Environment Court in September 2009 and in January 2010 the court ruled the wind farm project could proceed. The approved consent conditions limited the number of turbines to 52 and maximum blade height to 135 m. In May 2015 the resource consents were extend for five years, until 2020.

Consent for the wind farm lapsed in May and June 2020. In 2021 Meridian planned to apply for a new consent for the site.

In May 2023 Manawa Energy announced that it had secured the rights to develop the project. Renamed Project Huriwaka, it will generate 230MW. Development of the project and gaining resource consents is expected to take three years.

In October 2024 the project was included in the National government's fast-track list. The project was increased to 300MW, with construction expected to begin in 2026.

Janes All the World's Aircraft. Janes All the World's Aircraft (formerly Jane's) is an aviation annual publication founded by John Frederick Thomas Jane in 1909. Long issued by Sampson Low, Marston in Britain (with various publishers in the U.S.), it has been published by Janes Information Services since 1989/90. 

The first volume's title referred to "airships" while all since have referenced "aircraft". After World War I, the format of the book shifted from an oblong ("landscape") format to the present "portrait" orientation. With the 1993/94 edition, the book was divided into two volumes that continue to appear annually. The main volume focuses on aircraft in production while the second book describes older aircraft and upgrades, both military and civil. While 2009 was the centennial year of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, 2013 marked the 100th edition—the disparity due to disruptions (chiefly with volumes covering two years) during the two World Wars. Starting in 1969, Arco (New York) issued the following six volumes in facsimile editions: 1909, 1913, 1919, 1938, 1944-45, and 1950-51.

2,6-Dichlorophenol. 2,6-Dichlorophenol is a compound with formula C6H3Cl2OH.  It is one of the six isomers of dichlorophenol. It is a colorless solid.  Its pKa is 6.78, which is about 100x more acidic than 2-chlorophenol (8.52) and 1000x more acidic than phenol itself (9.95).

Preparation
It can be produced in a multistep process from phenol, which is converted to its 4-sulfonic acid derivative.  The resulting phenol sulfonic acid  chlorinates at the positions flanking the phenol. Hydrolysis releases the sulfonic acid group.

An alternative synthesis starts with the ethyl ester of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which chlorinates at the positions flanking the phenolic center.  Ester hydrolysis followed by decarboxylation affords 2,6-dichlorophenol.

Gorge (fortification). A gorge in field fortification is the "unexposed side of a fieldwork", typically the rear of an independent fieldwork or detached outwork in front of the main fortress or defensive position.

Outworks with open gorges 
Straith describes three commonly used classes of field work: "works open at the gorge, works enclosed all round and lines." He lists the following as works open at the gorge:

 Redan
 Lunette
 Redan with flanks
 Double Redan
 Tenaille-head
 Bastion-head 

Closed works are the redoubt, star fort and bastioned fort.

Gorges of 'half-closed works' were usually closed either by a parapet or stockade.

Delta delay. In VHDL simulations, all assignments to signals (a VHDL concept that represents a net connecting different components together) occur with some infinitesimal delay, known as delta delay, unless a delay is specified.  Technically, delta delay is of no measurable unit, but from a digital electronics hardware design perspective one should think of delta delay as being the smallest time unit one could measure, such as a femtosecond (fs).

Delta 1000. The Delta 1000 series (also referred to as Straight-Eight) was an American expendable launch system which was used to conduct eight orbital launches between 1972 and 1975. It was a member of the Delta family of rockets. Several variants existed, differentiated by a four digit numerical code. Delta 1000 was developed by McDonnell Douglas company (now — Boeing) in 1972.

The same first stage and boosters were used on all variants. The first stage was an Extended Long Tank Thor, a further stretched version of the Long Tank Thor used on earlier versions, itself derived from the Thor missile. Four, six or nine Castor-2 solid rocket boosters were attached to increase thrust at lift-off.  These improvements permitted the Delta 1000 series to lift 1,835 kg (4,045 lbs) to LEO or 635 kg (1,400 lbs) to GTO.

The nickname "Straight-Eight" comes from the fact that its second stage variants had the same 8 ft. (2.4 m) diameter as the first stage; previous Delta second stages were smaller in diameter. Two different second stages were flown, depending on the variant:
 The Delta-F second stage, featuring the Aerojet AJ10-118G engine, was flown on three launches, with Explorer 47, 50 and 51; the Aerojet engine was flown for the (Anik A1) satellite launch (mistakenly marked as xx1x in Delta 1000 series)
 The Delta-P second stage, featuring the new TRW TR-201 engine, was used for two launches each in 1973 and 1975.

Some flights used a third stage, either the Thiokol Star-37D or Star-37E, for launches beyond low Earth orbit. One probe launched by the Delta 1000 series, Delta 1913, was Explorer 49 that was placed into lunar orbit on 10 June 1973.

Delta 1000 rockets were launched from Space Launch Complex 2W at Vandenberg AFB and Launch Complex 17B at Cape Canaveral. All eight (1972–1975) launches were successful.

The Japanese N-II and H-I launch vehicles used the same Extended Long Tank Thor first stage. For the second stage, the N-II used the Delta-F while the H-I had the Japanese LE-5 engine which used liquid hydrogen and oxygen.

SR.N3. The British Hovercraft Corporation SR.N3 was a 37.5 ton hovercraft originally designed by Saunders-Roe.

Launched in 1963, it was primarily aimed at military deployment. It was a military version of the SR.N2

Propulsion and lift was provided by four rear-mounted Bristol-Siddeley Gnome gas turbine engines that allowed the SR.N3 to cruise at 70 knots. The British IHTU (Interservice Hovercraft Trials Unit), based at Browndown, Stokes Bay, tested the SR.N3 in a wide variety of conditions, including ice. On 16 September 1964 an SR.N3 operated satisfactorily in a full gale and six foot seas. The SR.N3 never entered full service and ended up being used for target practice.

Cosmos Mercury. The Cosmos Mercury was a fourteen-cylinder twin-row air-cooled radial aeroengine. Designed by Roy Fedden of Cosmos Engineering, it was built in the United Kingdom in 1917. It produced 347 horsepower (259 kW). It did not enter production; a large order was cancelled due to the Armistice.

Design and development
Built at Bristol by Brazil-Straker under the direction of Roy Fedden, the Mercury featured an unusual crankshaft and connecting rod arrangement that dispensed with the more normal design of a single master rod linking to individual rods for each cylinder. It was said to run well without vibration and set an unofficial time to climb record while fitted to a Bristol 21A Scout F.1, the aircraft achieving 10,000 ft (3,000 m) in 5.4 minutes and 20,000 ft (6,000 m) in 16.25 minutes.

An Admiralty order for 200 engines was placed in 1917 but was later cancelled by Lord Weir due to the end of World War I, it is also stated that Lord Weir had a preference for the ABC Dragonfly.

The name was re-used by Fedden for the later nine-cylinder Bristol Mercury radial engine.

Saro A.33. The Saro A.33 was a British prototype flying boat built by Saunders-Roe Limited in response to a British Air Ministry Specification R.2/33 and in competition with the Short Sunderland.

Design and development
The A.33 was a four-engined flying-boat with a parasol monospar wing, the wing was supported by two angled N-struts which connected the wing to hull-mounted sponsons. Hull-mounted sponsons were used rather than wingtip floats and were also used as fuel tanks. A Saro Cloud was modified with a monospar wing and sponsons to test the design concepts.  The prototype A.33 serial number K4773 first flew on 14 October 1938. However, it was written off after structural failure sustained during high-speed taxi trials on 25 October 1938 and development was abandoned.  A production contract for eleven aircraft was cancelled.

Semi-steel. Semi-steel casting is a lower cost method to produce a casting that is not quite as strong as a steel casting but less expensive to manufacture.  It was used more commonly as a marketing term.

The carbon and silicon percentages are reduced to the amount approximately consistent with those in steel.  This is done using pig iron or gray iron casting scrap and reducing the relative amount of carbon through the addition of relatively pure steel or wrought iron scrap in a well heated cupola furnace. The percentage of carbon is typically between foundry cast iron and wrought iron.

6-pounder and 12-pounder Wiard rifles designed by Norman Wiard and used in the American Civil War (1861–1865) were made of semi-steel (puddled wrought iron).

Delta 2000. The Delta 2000 series was an American expendable launch system which was used to conduct forty-four orbital launches between 1974 and 1981. It was a member of the Delta family of rockets, sometimes called Thorad Delta. Several variants existed, which were differentiated by a four digit numerical code. The Delta 1000, 2000 and 3000 series used surplus NASA Apollo program rockets engines for its first and second stages.

The first stage was an Extended Long Tank Thor, re-engined with the Rocketdyne RS-27 replacing the earlier MB-3-III engine. The RS-27 engine was a rebranded H-1 engine used in the Saturn 1B with minor changes. Three or nine Castor-2 solid rocket boosters were attached to increase thrust at lift-off. The Delta-P second stage used the TRW TR-201 engine. The TR-201 engine was a Lunar Module Descent Engine reconfigured for fixed thrust output. Launches which required a three-stage configuration in order to reach higher orbits used the Thiokol Star-37D or Star-37E upper stage as an apogee kick motor.

Delta 2000 launches occurred from Space Launch Complex 2W at Vandenberg AFB and both pads of Launch Complex 17 at Cape Canaveral. Forty-three out of forty-four launches were successful. The single failure being the maiden flight, 19 January 1974, which placed Skynet 2A into a useless orbit. A short circuit in an electronics package circuit board (on second stage) left the upper stages and satellite in an unstable low orbit (96 x 3,406 km x 37.6°) that rapidly decayed. An investigation revealed that a substandard coating had been used on the circuit board.

The cost of each launch was estimated on average at $28.52 million, depending on the combination of carrier rocket.

Ultra-low-cost personal computer. An ultra-low-cost personal computer (ULCPC) is an inexpensive personal computer such as a netbook or a nettop. It is most often used by Microsoft to define a class of computers that are eligible for special licensing and discounts. For example, the availability of Windows XP has been extended and discounts are offered for ULCPCs. Microsoft have recently been relaxing the definition to include larger displays (up to 14.1") and touchscreens.

Fleet controlling. Fleet Controlling is a platform of telematic systems  for wagon-vehicle and mobile equipment that allows service for back-office management in any company. Depending on supplier officers take advantages of:
 collect and send of operating data (on traffic location, activity log, specific performances at certain pins).
 logging data one unit information hidden inside vehicle or machinery (planned routes, assigned tasks, text messages, programming orders for unit itself).
 Receiving commands, information is sent out from the operations centre (alert messages, various reports and evaluations, planning and optimization – for routes and tasks, data operations).
 Integration to system, device is able to connect pin to GPS device.

Processing of certain type of information, data exchange and services provided by Fleet Controlling Equip, and solutions classify it as CEE L.B.S. (Location-based Service).
L.B.S. application allows only location-specific retrieval of information by certain informational registered devices up.

Platform contribution

Fleet Controller Equips are based on stored information about vehicle/machinery location, due to limited pin layout of prior fleet management platform. It is generally a general definition in Track specifications, pgs. 23:

 Text communication device, to data center and informations from|to vehicle|machinery
 Route, personnel and time slots management integration (CEE HoS – Hours of Service) in whole fleet.
 Data reading from CAN, FMS by Poly Carbonate Board pins.
 Upload system for alarm triggered and emergency-rated events (geofencing, fuel consumption leaps, delays).
 Third party system connect option (incl. sensors, devices, and gauges).

Telematic systems execute data transfer via GPRS or satellite, vehicle location is recognized by GPS.

Development
First reference to Fleet Controlling platform is dated back to 2007 when it was officially mentioned in Munich`s Transport Logistic exhibition in Germany.
Integrated Fleet Control management evolved from a previous generation of Fleet Management system in feature like: new generation of hardware, closer system integration (also with third party information systems integration).

Ezer Griffiths. Ezer Griffiths (27 November 1888 – 14 February 1962) was a Welsh physicist most noted for his work on the insulation properties of metals, heat transference, evaporation and refrigeration.

Education and early life
Griffiths was born in Aberdare in 1888 to a colliery mechanic, and from 1901 to 1906 he was educated at Aberdare Intermediate School. He graduated to University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire and studied under Ernest Howard Griffiths.

Career
On leaving Cardiff, he gained a post in the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington.

Griffiths spent his entire career studying the physical theory of heat. His initial works focused on the effects of heat on metal at low temperatures, in conjuncture with his tutor, Ernest Griffiths. His later work on refrigeration would enable the transportation of fruit and meats from Australia and New Zealand to Europe.
