Ogilvie Watertower. The Ogilvie Watertower is a historic water tower in Ogilvie, Minnesota, United States, built in 1918.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for having local significance in the themes of engineering and social history.  It was nominated for being a rare surviving example of Minnesota's earliest reinforced concrete water towers and a symbol of the local infrastructure improvements that enabled the organization of Ogilvie's fire department.

Description
The Ogilvie Watertower is a cylinder  tall and  in diameter.  The  concrete walls were poured in place.  The water is stored in a ,  concrete tank within the upper reaches of the tower.  The structure is topped by a  parapet with crenellations that suggest a medieval fortified tower.

A wood-frame garage is attached to the base of the tower on the east.  Entrance to the tower is effected through double steel doors facing east.  There are three 32-light windows at ground level and four more at the level of an internal wooden platform.  At the  level, a southwest-facing door once opened onto a small platform attached to the outside of the tower.

History
The Ogilvie Watertower was one of the first water towers in Minnesota to be constructed of reinforced concrete.  It was cast in place by the Circular Concrete Company of Minneapolis in 1918.  Its design was a noticeable contrast to the metal tank towers found in many other communities around the state, such as the Cuyuna Iron Range Municipally-Owned Elevated Metal Water Tanks.  Although other concrete water towers were built, they tended to leak at the base of the internal tank, so most have been demolished and replaced.  The Ogilvie Watertower is one of the few examples of its type still standing.

At the same time this tower was built, the village had an improved water system installed.  This provided the infrastructure necessary for Ogilvie to organize its first volunteer fire department.

The water tower was extensively restored and repainted in 1977.  It was finally decommissioned in August 2011, an event commemorated by a public ceremony at the tower followed by a parade to and dedication ceremony at its modern replacement.

Andrew Baron (paper engineer). Andrew Baron (born 1962) is a self-taught, award-winning paper engineer and singled out by Robert Sabuda, a leading children's pop-up book artist, as a wunderkind of pull tabs, specific devices used to cause movement in pop-up books.

Biography
Baron was awarded the Movable Book Society's Meggendorfer Prize for Best Paper Engineering in 2004 for Knick-Knack Paddywhack!  The book, by Paul O. Zelinsky, has “200 movable parts, 300 glue points – twice the usual number – 15 lift-the-flaps, and 10 parts on the last spread alone, moving simultaneously with one tab!... 500 people [at the Hua Yang Printing Company in China] worked on the book." Of this book, Robert Sabuda noted, "his designs are unique, complex, thoughtful and he doesn't skimp on the amount of paper or rivets needed to accomplish an action."

Baron has also repaired and restored old clocks, music boxes, radios and typewriters since childhood. In 2007, Baron spent about 70 hours repairing the "Draughtsman-Writer" automaton by Henri Maillardet (1745–1830). A version of Maillardet’s automaton, a self-powered robot that writes poetry and draws four different images, was in Martin Scorsese’s movie Hugo and Brian Selznick’s book The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

National Laboratory of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. National Laboratory of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (KL FAMO) is the national inter-university research center with the headquarters at Institute of Physics of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. Established in 2002,
the Laboratory is focused on atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO).

Current research

Ultra-cold matter 
The activities of the ultra-cold matter group at KL FAMO are focused on Bose-Einstein condensation (the first BEC in Poland was created in 2007 in KL FAMO
), and on ultra-cold molecules' photoassociation spectroscopy.

Optical atomic clocks    
Two strontium optical lattice atomic clocks are operating at the KL FL FAMO. Together with  optical frequency combs they form the Polish Optical Atomic Clock (POZA). The POZA is a state-of-the-art optical atomic clock, collaboratively developed by scientists from the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, and Nicolaus Copernicus University.

The optical clocks' experimental group at KL FAMO is conducting research on, i.a., black-body radiation influence on the atomic transitions, shapes of molecules potentials by photoassociation spectroscopy, and on topological defects dark matter
.

Quantum engineering 
The studies of the quantum optics group are focused on experimental verifications of fundamental quantum mechanics predictions. In particular, the Laboratory is  especially interested in quantum metrology, quantum information and quantum key distribution studies.  Modern quantum information experiments are performed using single optical photons as the so-called qubits.

High resolution spectroscopy 
High resolution spectroscopic studies in the Laboratory are based on the Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). In CRDS experiments the resonant optical cavity filled with a light-absorbing gas is pumped up by the laser. The absorption spectrum can be determined by measuring the wavelength dependence of time constant of the decay of the light transmitted through one of the optical cavity mirrors. The CRDS is an excellent tool for  trace gas detection and precise measurements of weak absorption spectra. The laboratory provides accurate data for spectroscopic databases such as HITRAN.

Ion traps 
The research of the ion group is focused on trapped molecular ions in the ion traps – relatively new branch of physics. Recent works in this field focus on the production, detection and cooling of the molecular ions. The trapped molecules are subject to spectroscopic investigations and as products/substrates for cold chemistry of single molecules.

WLs75. The WLs75 is a small narrow gauge diesel locomotive built in Poland, at the ZNTK in Poznań. It was used mostly on industrial railways.

History 
The locomotive's design was started at the CBKPTK (Central Design Bureau of Railway Stock Industry) in Poznań. The design was finally made in 1961 by the ZNTK Poznań (Railway Stock Repair Works). It was powered by 75 hp diesel engine and had a mechanical transmission, driving two axles by cranks and connecting rods. 

WLs75s were first built in 1965. (WLs stood for Wąskotorowa - narrow-gauge, lokomotywa - locomotive, spalinowa - internal combustion engine). In total, 86 were built with the last shipped in 1975. They were built for  and  gauge. Two locomotives were made for  for a park railway in Silesian Park.

The locomotives were only used in Poland. It was hoped thatthey would be acquired by Polish State Railways (PKP), but the railways found them under-powered. As a result, they were manufactured for the industry, mostly sugar works, smelters and steelworks. Two were used by the Polish Army. Production was relatively low, because most buyers preferred the cheaper 50 hp 2WLs50 locomotives.

Daxi Bridge. The Daxi Bridge () is a suspension footbridge in Daxi District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. It connects Rui'an Road Section 1 and Daxi Old Street. The bridge is also known as the Lover's Bridge.

History
The bridge was originally built in 1934 as a bamboo-wooden bridge constructed from bamboo frames and layered rocks. During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the bridge was rebuilt into a dual-bored cable suspension bridge with a total length of 280 meters. After the opening of the nearby Wuling Bridge and Second Outer Ring Road, the bridge became gradually less used by the residents. It has seen been reconstructed twice due to the damage caused by typhoons. Lastly, the bridge was renovated again in 2001 after the planning from the Directorate General of Highways and its length became 330 meters.

Architecture
The bridge spans over a length of 330 meters with 13 abutments. It was designed with Baroque-style archway located at its entrance with red tiles. It is also equipped with benches for resting area. The bridge crosses the Dahan River.

Transportation
The bridge is accessible by bus from Taoyuan Station of Taiwan Railways.

Silicon Module Super League. The Silicon Module Super League (SMSL) later the Solar Module Super League  is a group of major crystalline silicon (c-Si) module suppliers in the solar PV industry. The 'big six' industry group members were Canadian Solar, Hanwha Q CELLS, JA Solar, Jinko Solar, and Trina Solar. LONGi the world's largest solar monocrystalline silicon manufacturer and GCL, the world's largest solar poly crystalline silicon manufacturer, both joined the SMSL in mid-2016. As of February 2019, PVTech added First Solar and Risen Energy to the list of SMSL manufacturers. 

The achievement scale of this solar module industry breakaway group is notable.  These seven module suppliers have been forecast to ship about half of the world's end-market supply during 2017.

Chinese solar engineers at Trina Solar hold the record for a 22.61% PV efficiency in mono-PERC-cells with Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology developed at its State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology of China  That one-third efficiency improvement was achieved in four years of PV research in China.

SMSL group members have held the PV efficiency record for some time.  Trina Solar in 2015 had set the previous record of 22.13%.  Again, in July 2016, Trina Solar claimed that its production lines were able to produce the same kind of PERC cells in large volume with an average efficiency of 21.12%.  This new, later higher cell efficiency which surpasses Trina Solar's record, has been independently confirmed by the Fraunhofer ISE CalLab in Germany. Trina Solar achieves 24.13% conversion efficiency for IBC solar cell.
