Kiisa Power Plant. The Kiisa Power Plant is an emergency reserve power plant, based on the engine power plant technology, located in Kiisa, Estonia, about  from Tallinn.  As an emergency plant, it operates only in the case of a network failure or capacity shortfall, and it does not participate in the everyday electricity market.  The power plant is owned and operated by the Estonian transmission system operator Elering.

The plant is supplied by Wärtsilä and it is based on Wärtsilä 20V34DF engines fuelled by natural gas as a primary fuel and light fuel oil as a back-up fuel.  It consist of two generation units with capacity of 110 MW and 140 MW accordingly.  Each of units is a set of 10-MW generators.  Construction started in 2011 and the first unit was commissioned in January 2014 and the second unit was commissioned in July 2014. Its total capacity 250 MW is equal to one sixth of the maximum consumption of Estonia.

The power plant is located next to the Kiisa 110/330 kV substation, which is connected to the Estonia's main transmission lines.  As an emergency reserve power plant, it should reach full output within 10 minutes.  It will be fully automatic without permanent personnel on site. The plant is connected with the natural gas grid. In addition, it has an oil terminal with tanks' capacity up to  of diesel.

Austrian Airlines Flight 901. Austrian Airlines Flight 901 was a flight from Vienna, Austria to Moscow, USSR (now Russia) via Warsaw, Poland. On the night of 26 September 1960, the aircraft operating the flight, a Vickers Viscount, crashed near Moscow while on its approach to land, killing 31 of the 37 passengers and crew on board.

Aircraft
The aircraft was a Vickers Viscount 837 four-engine turboprop airliner registered OE-LAF. The aircraft had first flown on 10 February 1960 and had been delivered new to Austrian Airlines about two weeks later, seven months before the crash.

Accident
The aircraft departed Warsaw with six crew and 31 passengers on board. The flight was on approach to land on runway 07 at Sheremetyevo International Airport in the northern outskirts of Moscow when it crashed in a rural area  short of Sheremetyevo's runway near the town of Krukovo.

Investigation
The investigation determined that the crew thought that the aircraft was higher than it was and that it flew into trees during its approach and crashed. Investigators found that the captain's altimeter (the left-hand altimeter) was adjusted to show a different altitude to the copilot's altimeter. The left altimeter's barometric sub-scale had been set to a pressure that would have resulted in it reading zero feet on the ground at Sheremetyevo. However, the sub-scale on the copilot's altimeter was set to a pressure that would have resulted in it reading the airport's height above mean sea level when on the ground at Sheremetyevo. This was against the airline's operating procedures, but the investigation could not determine the reason for the discrepancy.

Air Command Commander Elite. The Air Command Commander Elite is an American autogyro that was designed and produced by Air Command International of Caddo Mills, Texas.  When it was available, the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a conversion kit for the earlier Air Command Commander.

As of 2012, the design is no longer advertised for sale by the company.

Design and development
The Commander Elite improves on the original Commander in that it has raised landing gear that positions the engine thrustline vertically at the center of gravity, eliminating changes in pitch with throttle changes. The gyroplane was designed to comply with the US Experimental - Amateur-built rules. It features a single main rotor, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, tricycle landing gear, and a twin cylinder, two-stroke, liquid-cooled, dual-ignition  Rotax 582 engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft's  diameter Rotordyne rotor has a chord of . The rudder and tailplane are made from carbon fiber. The Commander Elite has a typical empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of .

Operational history
By December 2012, ten examples had been registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Zébulon (Paris Métro). The MF67 W2 prototype or the Zébulon, was the second prototype of the MF 67 class of rolling stock used on the Paris Métro, and was finished in stainless steel. It was delivered to the RATP in May 1968.

Specifications 
The RATP used the Zébulon, which gained its nickname from the fact that it was stainless steel, primarily for training purposes. It was also intermittently utilized for passenger service, the last on Line 9. The use of unpainted stainless steel and aluminum saved about 700kg of weight per car. The design of the Zébulon resembled that of the MF 67 A-series, but the stainless steel design of the train made it very difficult for the RATP to maintain, and was extremely susceptible to vandalism. This train also had higher production costs than other MF 67 trains. These reasons eventually led to the train's limited use and lack of further orders.

The Zébulon was composed of five motor cars, although there was a sixth (trailer) car that was unused. The composition consisted of M.10003 + N.11003 + NA.12002 + N.11004 + M.10004. The train was also equipped with twin bogies.

History 
Although the Zébulon spent most of its time (roughly 30 years) at the RATP training centre, it briefly circulated on Lines 3, 7, and 9. In 2010, the train succumbed to heavy vandalism and was deemed to be beyond repair. The RATP scrapped the train in 2011, with the exception of one motor car, M.10004, which is kept at the workshop Choisy. The training centre is now equipped with seven MF 67 E cars from Line 2.

Icebreaking Emergency Evacuation Vessel. Petroleum exploitation companies operate a fleet of Ice Breaking Emergency Evacuation Vessels (IBEEV) on the Caspian Sea, to service the extensive oil fields there.
The vessels are designed to evacuate up to 338 individuals per trip. They are designed to function using compressed air to power their engines, if they are passing through pools of burning oil, or oxygen poor environments—carrying enough compressed air to function for 50 minutes. Every evacuee is issued a rebreather, for passing through anoxic environments, if the airtight evacuation capsules are compromised. The vessels are insulated so passengers and crew can survive transiting through pools of burning oil. Since the Caspian freezes during winter the vessels are designed to break up to  of ice.

The vessels were designed by AKAC Inc. and Robert Allan Limited, a firm of Canadian naval architects.
Initially, in 2005 Remontowa built four vessels. 
By 2012 the fleet contained ten vessels.

There is provision to carry ten stretcher-bound, wounded evacuees, while the remaining 328 evacuees are seated in one of three evacuation capsules.
Only two crewmembers are required to operate the vessels.

OTV-3. USA-240, also referred to as Orbital Test Vehicle 3 (OTV-3), is the second flight of the first Boeing X-37B, an American unmanned robotic vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing spaceplane. It was launched to low Earth orbit aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral on 11 December 2012. Its mission designation is part of the USA series.

The spaceplane was operated by Air Force Space Command, which has not revealed the specific objectives of the mission or identity of the mission's payload. The Air Force stated only that the "mission will incorporate the lessons learned during the refurbishment process on OTV-1. As the X-37B program is examining the affordability and reusability of space vehicles, validation through testing is vital to the process. We are excited to see how this vehicle performs on a second flight."

Mission
OTV-3, the second mission for the first X-37B, and the third X-37B mission overall, was originally scheduled to be launched on 25 October 2012, but was postponed because of an engine issue with the Atlas V launch vehicle.  The X-37B was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on 11 December 2012. In March 2014, OTV-3 broke the X-37B program's endurance record by passing 470 days in space.

The vehicle landed at Vandenberg AFB on 17 October 2014 at 16:24 UTC, having spent just short of 675 days in orbit.

ESS 3200 class. The ESS 3200, later the WH 200 (Werkspoor-Heemaf) was a class of electric locomotives built for the Staatsspoorwegen, the State Railway of Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia).

The ESS 3200s were first used on 6 April 1925, which also was the same day the first electrified railway line in Java from Tanjung Priok to Meester Cornelis (modern day Jatinegara) was opened.

Design and service history

The ESS 3200s were of the 1-Bo+Bo-1 wheel arrangement, used a 1,500 V DC overhead catenary, producing . They were built by the Werkspoor using Baldwin equipment, and had  / Westinghouse electric motors. Six locomotives were built for the line. Although the 1,500 V DC system was the most popular of the 1920s, Baldwin-Westinghouse were better known for their AC electric locomotives. 

The ESS 3200s, now reclassified as the WH (Werkspoor-Heemaf) 200 class were in service until 1976.

Preservation 

After sitting idle for many years, 3202 was returned to working order. It was returned to service and as of 2013, was hauling tourist trains in Jakarta. 3202 currently bears road number 3201. The original 3201 was totalled in the .

3202 is currently stored at Manggarai rolling stock workshop.

TMG (language). In computing TMG (TransMoGrifier) is a recursive descent compiler-compiler developed by Robert M. McClure and presented in 1965. TMG ran on systems including OS/360 and early Unix. It was used to build EPL, an early version of PL/I.

Douglas McIlroy ported TMG to an early version of Unix. According to Ken Thompson, McIlroy wrote TMG in TMG on a piece of paper and "decided to give his piece of paper his piece of paper," hand-compiling assembly language that he entered and assembled on Thompson's Unix system running on PDP-7. Thompson used TMG in 1970 as a tool to offer Fortran, but due to memory limitations of PDP-7 ended up creating the B programming language which was much influenced by BCPL.

The recursive descent algorithm of TMG was studied formally by Alexander Birman and Jeffrey Ullman. The formal description of the algorithms was named TMG recognition scheme (or simply TS).

Kwinana Petrochemical Plant. The Kwinana petrochemical plant was a never-realised petrochemical plant proposed in the late 1980s to be developed in Kwinana, Western Australia.

In September 1986 Petrochemical Industries Company Limited (PICL), a joint venture involving companies controlled by property developer Dallas Dempster and merchant banker Laurie Connell, proposed the development of a major petrochemical project at Kwinana, and on 2 November 1987 agreements were signed by the state government-owned State Energy Commission of Western Australia and PICL for the former to supply the latter with natural gas from the state's North West Shelf, at a commercially realistic price, linked to CPI. By December 1987, though, it was becoming apparent that Connell's merchant bank, Rothwells, was no longer a viable financial institution, and Dempster had been unable to secure 100% debt finance for the project.

Due to outstanding loans to Connell and Connell-associated entities, Rothwells was short $300 million or more needed to restore its solvency and produce an acceptable balance sheet, and without these funds Rothwells would have to cease trading on its reporting date, 31 July 1988. In order to deal with Rothwells's impending crisis, a mid-1988 meeting involving representatives of the state government, Rothwells and Alan Bond's Bond Corporation agreed that the government would give a discounted energy price and other guarantees to PICL so as to boost the company's value to $400 million, and Bond Corporation and the government would then purchase PICL for that price – $350 million to be paid to Connell so that he could repay $300 million of his debt to Rothwells and add $50 million of liquidity, and $50 million to Dempster for his share.

When PICL was sold to the state government and Bond Corporation its sole real asset was a heavily-mortgaged block of land in Kwinana valued at $100,000.

Nippi NP-100. The Nippi NP-100 Albatross was a Japanese two side-by-side seat motorized glider, powered by a ducted fan rather than the usual propeller. It did not go into production.

Design and development

The Albatross was the first Japanese motorized glider, unusual in being powered by a ducted fan.  Design work started in late 1973 and the first flight of the NP-100 prototype was made on 25 December 1975. After a period of testing in 1976 led to several modifications and a change of name to NP-100A.  There was another period of testing in the second quarter of 1978 to finalize the configuration and power plant of production aircraft. Despite this, the Albatross was not put into production. The Albatross is put on public display in the Kahaku Hirosawa Aviation Museum, Chikusei, Ibaraki, Japan.

Apart from its power unit, the Albatross was a fairly conventional high-wing monoplane glider. Its wing was an all-metal, single-spar structure and of unswept, straight-tapered plan.  There were plain ailerons and two-part flaps; the inboard and outboard sections of the flaps were linked, but the inboard part had greater deflections and could be used as an air brake.  The tail surfaces were also all-metal and straight-tapered; the horizontal surfaces were mounted on top of the fuselage.

The fuselage was a standard all-metal semi-monocoque, with the side-by-side seats under a long, low rearward-sliding two-piece canopy, with its rear at the wing leading edge. The Albatross's undercarriage had two main wheels side by side, attached to the fuselage and retracting forward into it.  Its tail wheel was steerable via the rudder bar. A modified motorcycle engine, located in the centre of the fuselage, drove a four-blade wooded ducted fan.  This drew in air through intakes in the fuselage sides with slatted doors, closed when the engine was off, and exhausted ventrally just behind the trailing edge under the slender rear fuselage.
