United Engineering Co.. 

History

United Engineering Co. (incorporated 10 October 1917, about six months after the sale of the predecessor company United Engineering Works to the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation where it became their Alameda Works), in Alameda, California, was a shipbuilding and repair yard active during World War II. Located along the Oakland-Alameda Estuary, The yard was established in 1941, before that time, United Engineering owned facilities acquired from the Risdon Iron Works at Steuart and Folsom streets () and from T. J. Moynihan & Company the corner of Folsom and Fremont (), just north-west of where the Oakland bay Bridge would later connect.

United Engineering Works traces its history back to 1897.

UEC obtained the rights to build Franco Tosi (Legnano, Italy) four-cycle marine diesel engines in 1919.

In 1940 the shipyard in Alameda was constructed on property previously occupied by repair shops of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Among its many activities, United Engineering built 21 oceangoing tugs for the U.S. Navy.

The facilities that made up United Engineering were built by various interests from 1910–1915, and were first used for building the Red Cars of the extensive East Bay Electric Lines of the Southern Pacific company. They were expanded and converted to shipyard use from 1941-1945. During both periods of its history, the facility was one of Alameda's largest employers and played an important economic and social role in the city.

The facilities' shipbuilding use declined after World War II, and as of 2001, seventeen of its buildings remained on the site. Located at 2900 Main Street in Alameda, they were host to a ship repair yard and 44 smaller tenants. The yard's history has been documented by the Historic American Engineering Record as United Engineering Company Shipyard, survey number HAER CA-295.

In May 1946 United Engineering merged with the maintenance division of the Matson Navigation Company.

Graphite-like zinc oxide nanostructure. Most of the synthesized Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures in different geometric configurations such as nanowires, nanorods, nanobelts and nanosheets are usually in the wurtzite crystal structure. However, it was found from density functional theory calculations that for ultra-thin films of ZnO, the graphite-like structure was energetically more favourable as compared to the wurtzite structure. The stability of this phase transformation of wurtzite lattice to graphite-like structure of the ZnO film is only limited to the thickness of about several Zn-O layers and was subsequently verified by experiment. Similar phase transition was also observed in ZnO nanowire when it was subjected to uniaxial tensile loading. However, with the use of the first-principles all electron full-potential method, it was observed that the wurtzite to graphite-like phase transformation for ultra-thin ZnO films will not occur in the presence of a significant amount of oxygen vacancies (Vo) at the Zn-terminated (0001) surface of the thin film. The absence of the structural phase transformation was explained in terms of the Coulomb attraction at the surfaces. The graphitic ZnO thin films are structurally similar to the multilayer of graphite and are expected to have interesting mechanical and electronic properties for potential nanoscale applications. In addition, density functional theory calculations and experimental observations also indicate that the concentration of the Vo is the highest near the surfaces as compared to the inner parts of the nanostructures. This is due to the lower Vo defect formation energies in the interior of the nanostructures as compared to their surfaces.

Fernley H. Banbury. Fernley Hope Banbury (22 December 1881 – 26 May 1963) was an English scientist and engineer. He invented the Banbury mixer, which is used to mix or blend a wide range of materials used in different industries including the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, plastic, rubber and mineral industries.

Biography
He was born in England on 22 December 1881 in Cornwall, England. In 1904, he migrated to the United States, and earned a B.S. in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1906, with a thesis titled "Test of New Lighting Plant". His yearbook records this about him: "if genuine English perseverance coupled with absolute honesty can achieve success, Fernly has a bright future." He received the Charles Goodyear Medal in 1959, one of only two electrical engineers ever to do so (the other being Adolf Schallamach). He was an executive at the Farrel Corporation of Ansonia, Connecticut. He died on 26 May 1963 in Torquay, England.

TBEA. TBEA Co., Ltd., previously known as Tebian Electric Apparatus, is a Chinese manufacturer of power transformers and other electrical equipment, and a developer of transmission projects.  Along with competitors Tianwei Baobian Electric (TWBB) and the XD Group, it is one of the major Chinese manufacturers of transformers.

International operations

Equipment manufacturing
Outside of China, TBEA is also coming up with a manufacturing base for transformers, solar equipments & cables in Karjan Gujarat, India. The Indian division is registered under the name TBEA Energy (India) Pvt Ltd and will cater to India, African, Middle East and other markets.

Construction engineering
The company builds transformers and also develops transmission lines as an EPC contractor.

In Ethiopia, TBEA was in 2009 awarded the contract to develop the transmission line to Addis Ababa for the Gilgel Gibe III Dam.

In September 2010 in Zambia, the state power company ZESCO signed an EPC contract with TBEA to build US$334 million330 kv high voltage transmission lines, which would supply power to Eastern, Luapula, Northern and Muchinga Provinces.  The project held a groundbreaking in July 2012.  The project is to include two transmissions lines: one from Pensulo substation in Serenje to Kasama via Mpika, another transmission line from Pensulo substation to Chipata via Msoro and extension of the existing Pensulo substation to accommodate the two transmission line bays.

Mining
In Tajikistan the company was granted in 2015 a mining license to develop a gold deposit in exchange for construction of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Dushanbe. Earlier, in 2013, TBEA had received a license to conduct exploration at the deposit area.

Power stations
In 2013 the Government of Kyrgyzstan chose TBEA to reconstruct a power plant, a choice made after heavy pressure from the Government of China. Rigged bidding and inflated prices are alleged to cost Kyrgyzstan $111 million, and have led to former Prime Minister Sapar Isakov, among other officials, being charged with corruption. During the trial, prosecutors accused Isakov of lobbying for TBEA's bid, whereas Isakov himself claimed that the Export–Import Bank of China had selected TBEA.

The plant broke down in 2018, shortly after the overhaul was completed, however a preliminary investigation found that the defect was in a part of the plant that was not reconstructed by TBEA.

Frederick W. Stavely. Frederick W. Stavely (1894-1976) was a chemical research scientist who discovered polyisoprene.

Career
In 1950, Stavely served as chairman of the American Chemical Society Rubber Division.

In 1953, Stavely was  working at the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company when he discovered polyisoprene. At the time he was investigating the reaction of butyl lithium on butadiene and discovered that polymerization of isoprene with metallic lithium produced polyisoprene (dubbed coral rubber because of its appearance) with a high cis content.
High cis content is associated with enhanced strain crystallization, important during World War II because other synthetics did not exhibit the crystallization effect.

In 1972, Stavely received the Charles Goodyear Medal in recognition of this discovery.

Heinkel P.1078. The Heinkel P.1078 (He P.1078) was a single seat interceptor developed for the Luftwaffe by Heinkel aircraft manufacturing company under the Emergency Fighter Program during the last years of the Third Reich.

History
As part of the Emergency Fighter Program (), at the beginning of 1945 a programme was launched by the OKL for a new generation of fighter/interceptor aircraft in order to replace the winner of the Volksjäger fighter design competition, the He 162A Spatz. The new aircraft was intended to have superior performance in order to deal with high altitude threats such as the B-29 Superfortress, but only had a 30-minute endurance figure.

Heinkel produced three different designs of the project which were submitted in February 1945. The high-altitude fighter designs brought forward by other German aircraft makers were the Messerschmitt P.1110, Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein, Blohm & Voss P 212 and the Junkers EF 128, the official winner of the competition. After being subject to severe criticism, the project was cancelled by Heinkel at the end of February 1945.

Variants

The Heinkel P.1078 project had three quite different variants. All of them were a single-seat fighters with polyhedral swept wings. The wings were swept back at 40 degrees and included wood in their construction. All of the projected aircraft had the wing tips angled downwards and all of them would be powered by a single Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet.

P.1078 A 
Jet-powered interceptor. It was the most conventional-looking of the three designs submitted for it was the only one having a tail. Its armament was two MK 108 cannons, as in the following two variants.

P.1078 B 
A tailless asymmetric jet-powered interceptor with a short fuselage in which the air intake of the engine was located in the middle between two gondolas. The cockpit was located on the gondola of the left side, while the right side gondola contained the front undercarriage leg and cannon armament.

P.1078 C 
A tailless interceptor project similar to the P.1078 B but with a single short fuselage. Both the He P.1078 B and P.1078 C had wing tips angled downwards at a more pronounced angle than the P.1078 A.

Messerschmitt P.1111. The Messerschmitt P.1111 was a jet fighter/interceptor project, designed by Messerschmitt for the Luftwaffe near the end of World War II.

History
The innovative design of the Me P.1111 was completed in January 1945, and was intended as an improvement to the Messerschmitt P.1110 Ente.

The Messerschmitt P.1111 was an 8.92 m-long tailless airplane with nearly delta-shaped wings, swept back at a 45-degree angle, and a wingspan of 9.12 m. It was equipped with a pressurized cockpit for a single pilot. The planned powerplant was a Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet engine, and armament was to be four 30 mm MK 108 cannon.

During a design review comparison conference in Oberammergau on February 27 and 28, 1945, the P. 1111 fared outstanding in the area of performance in high-speed flight capability, take-off, climb and landing performance. The experts held the opinion that these qualities demonstrated a fundamental superiority of the flying wing construction type. However, the P.1111 was ruled out due to the impossibility of protecting the fuel.

Only one wooden model was built. The project was later further developed into the Me P.1112.

Telematic control unit. A telematic control unit (TCU) in the automobile industry is the embedded system on board a vehicle that wirelessly connects the vehicle to cloud services or other vehicles via V2X standards over a cellular network. The TCU collects telemetry data from the vehicle, such as position, speed, engine data, connectivity quality, etc., from various sub-systems over data and control busses. It may also provide in-vehicle connectivity via Wifi and Bluetooth and implements the eCall function when applicable.

In the automotive domain, a TCU can also be a transmission control unit.

A TCU consists of:
 A satellite navigation (GNSS) unit, which keeps track of the latitude and longitude values of the vehicle
 An external interface for mobile communication (GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, WiMax, LTE or 5G), which provides the tracked values to a centralized geographical information system (GIS) database server
 An electronic processing unit
 A microcontroller, microprocessor, or field programmable gate array (FPGA) which processes the information and acts as an interface to the GPS
 A mobile communication unit
 Memory for saving GPS values in mobile-free zones or to intelligently store information about the vehicle's sensor data
 A battery module
