BMW R12 and R17. The BMW R12 and R17 are flat-twin engine motorcycles made by BMW Motorrad from 1935 through 1942. They were developed in 1935 based on the R7 concept of 1934. A few hundred R17s were made, ending in 1937, while the R12 continued through 1942, with a total of 36,008 produced.

R7 concept

The BMW R7 was conceived in 1933 by engineer and designer Alfred Böning, with an Art Deco mathematical geometric basis of his design. Only one R7 was ever made, which Böning disassembled and stuck away with design plans in a BMW warehouse. It was discovered more than seventy years later, in 2005. Hans Keckeisen in Munich began a restoration on behalf of the BMW Museum, completed 2012. After appearing in European bike shows, restored 1934 R7 was first shown in the US at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Böning's new hydraulic fork design of the 1934 R7 went into production the following year, in the 1934 R12 and R17.

R12 and R17

On 14 February 1935, BMW presented the R12 together with the R17 on the German Automobile Exhibition in Berlin for the first time, being a direct successor to the BMW R11. This and the R17 were the first in the world being produced with hydraulically damped telescopic forks. By 1942, the total number of BMW R12 motorcycles manufactured was 36,000. For military purposes, the single carburetor Einvergasermotor was only available for the R12.

Engine
The engine, designated M 56 S 6 or 212, was a twin-cylinder boxer configuration - four stroke with a flathead design. The BMW R12 with two carburetors used a battery and coil ignition, while R12s with a single carburetor used a magneto ignition, capable of working independently from the battery.

Drive
The BMW R12 had a four-speed manual gearbox, operated by a hand shift lever on the fuel tank's right side. Several detail variations were seen in production.  In common with most BMW Motorcycles, final drive was via shaft, with the drive shaft on the right side of the motorcycle.

Suspension and brakes
Front suspension used a telescopic fork, while the frame was rigid with an un-sprung rear end supporting the final drive and a sprung seat for the rider. The R12 used drum brakes front and rear.  Many R12's were equipped with a sidecar attached to the motorcycle's right side.

Specifications

Surviving motorcycles
A BMW R12 is in the Museum of Military History in Vienna, in its original camouflage. In 2018, an American company created a modified BMW R nineT with a close resemblance to the original R7, showing the R7-inspired custom at several shows and museums, and selling kits or complete bikes to the public.

Miscibility gap. A miscibility gap is a region in a phase diagram for a mixture of components where the mixture exists as two or more phases – any region of composition of mixtures where the constituents are not completely miscible.

The IUPAC Gold Book defines miscibility gap as "Area within the coexistence curve of an isobaric phase diagram (temperature vs composition) or an isothermal phase diagram (pressure vs composition)."

A miscibility gap between isostructural phases may be described as the solvus, a term also used to describe the boundary on a phase diagram between a miscibility gap and other phases.

Thermodynamically, miscibility gaps indicate a maximum (e.g. of Gibbs energy) in the composition range.

Named miscibility gaps
A number of miscibility gaps in phase systems are named, including
 The huttenlocher (found in bytownite, anorthite composition An55-95.), boggild (in labradorite, An39-48 and An53-63.) and peristerite (in oligoclase, ~An5-15.) miscibility gaps in the plagioclase feldspars.
 A Nishwawa horn, term for a miscibility gap existing when phases with different magnetic properties co-exist in the phase diagram.
 Miscibility gaps in liquid states can cause spinodal decomposition, commonly referred to as oiling out, as commonly occurs in oil/water mixtures.

Falcon Joslin House. The Falcon Joslin House is a historic house at 413 Cowles Street in Fairbanks, Alaska.  Built in 1904, this American Foursquare two-story frame house is the oldest house in Fairbanks set at its original location, and was one of the first frame houses built in what was then a mining camp.  The house was built by Falcon Joslin, a Tennessee lawyer who came to Fairbanks and financed construction of the railroad connection to Chena, the head of navigation on the Tanana River.  Joslin's railroad ensured the economic success of Fairbanks, which was then competing with Chena as a supply center for miners in the region. In 1930 the house was purchased by Fairbanks Exploration Company, which used it as housing for executives and employees until 1960.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Constantin Avram. Constantin Avram (February 19, 1911 – February 20, 1987) was a Romanian structural engineer.

Born in Ciumași, Bacău County, his parents Nicolai and Maria were peasants; in addition, his father was a mechanic for Căile Ferate Române. The couple worked hard for their children's education; their four sons all earned university degrees, with three becoming structural engineers and the fourth a chemical engineer. Constantin attended Ferdinand I High School in Bacău from 1923 to 1930. He then enrolled in the military engineers officers' school in Bucharest, graduating first in his class in 1932 and becoming a second lieutenant in the Romanian Army. After a yearlong internship, he was sent on a government scholarship to the École militaire et d'application du génie de Versailles. Upon his return home, he attended the construction faculty of the Bucharest Polytechnic School. In 1940, he graduated first in his class and earned a degree as a structural engineer. He married Emilia Petrescu in 1939.

In October 1940, he became a teaching assistant at the Polytechnic's reinforced concrete building department. In February 1948, following the onset of the communist regime, he was transferred as a full professor to the construction faculty of the Polytechnic University of Timișoara. There, his teaching focused on reinforced concrete until his retirement in 1975. Other fields he taught included reinforced concrete bridges; statics (1948-1950); material resistance and the theory of elasticity (1948-1953); statics and dynamics of construction (1960-1963). He helped set up a construction faculty at the Cluj Polytechnic Institute, where he taught reinforced concrete from 1954 to 1959, commuting between Timișoara and Cluj. He became a doctoral adviser in 1952, guiding dozens of students through the process.

He wrote a number of textbooks in his field, and, either alone or in collaboration, authored some 110 scientific publications. He was chairman of the reinforced concrete and building department from 1953 to 1975, and rector at Timișoara from 1963 to 1971. In 1963, he was elected a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy. In his limited spare time, he read classic literature and was a passionate supporter of Poli Timișoara football team. He died in 1987.

Stanford DASH. Stanford DASH was a cache coherent multiprocessor developed in the late 1980s by a group led by Anoop Gupta, John L. Hennessy, Mark Horowitz, and Monica S. Lam at Stanford University. It was based on adding a pair of directory boards designed at Stanford to up to 16 SGI IRIS 4D Power Series machines and then cabling the systems in a mesh topology using a Stanford-modified version of the Torus Routing Chip. The boards designed at Stanford implemented a directory-based cache coherence protocol allowing Stanford DASH to support distributed shared memory for up to 64 processors. Stanford DASH was also notable for both supporting and helping to formalize weak memory consistency models, including release consistency. Because Stanford DASH was the first operational machine to include scalable cache coherence, it influenced subsequent computer science research as well as the commercially available SGI Origin 2000. Stanford DASH is included in the 25th anniversary retrospective of selected papers from the International Symposium on Computer Architecture and several computer science books, has been simulated by the University of Edinburgh, and is used as a case study in contemporary computer science classes.

Wedge bonding. Wedge bonding is a kind of wire bonding which relies on the application of ultrasonic power and force to form bonds. It is a popular method and is commonly used in the semiconductor industry. Wedge bonding is directional, so the bonding head rotates to accommodate the different angles for bonding. Due to this rotation, wedge bonding is slower than ball bonding. The advantage of wedge bonding is a finer pitch is possible. Wedge bonding also accommodates the use of metal ribbon instead of wire for bonding. 

 Thermocompression Bonding (TCB): The technique uses heat and pressure to create a bond between a thin wire (typically aluminum or gold) and the bonding pads. As heat softens the wire, pressure is applied to form the bond.
 Ultrasonic Wedge Bonding (UWB): Ultrasonic energy is used in conjunction with pressure to create a bond between the wire and the bonding pads. This method is similar to thermos-sonic ball bonding but uses a wedge tool instead of a ball.
 Non-Ultrasonic Wedge Bonding: In this variation, wedge bonding is created without the use of ultrasonic energy.

Scikit-image. scikit-image (formerly scikits.image) is an open-source image processing library for the Python programming language.
It includes algorithms for segmentation, geometric transformations, color space manipulation, analysis, filtering, morphology, feature detection, and more.  It is designed to interoperate with the Python numerical and scientific libraries NumPy and SciPy.

Overview
The scikit-image project started as scikits.image, by Stéfan van der Walt. Its name stems from the notion that it is a "SciKit" (SciPy Toolkit), a separately-developed and distributed third-party extension to SciPy. 
The original codebase was later extensively rewritten by other developers. Of the various scikits, scikit-image as well as scikit-learn were described as "well-maintained and popular" .  Scikit-image has also been active in the Google Summer of Code.

Implementation
scikit-image is largely written in Python, with some core algorithms written in Cython to achieve performance.
