Walker Body Company Factory. The Walker Body Company Factory is a historic factory complex on Oak Street at River Court in Amesbury, Massachusetts.  It has been converted to residential use.

The Walker Body Company, originally the Walker Carriage Manufacturing Company, was a major manufacturing concern in Amesbury during the late 19th and early 20th century.  Its factory was located in an area known as "Carriage Hill" due to the large number of carriage builders in the area.  Two of its buildings survive: mill #2, a c. 1885 structure built by the Hume Carriage Company, and mill #3, built in 1918 and expanded in 1929.  The older building is a three-story brick structure, while the newer one is a wood-frame building designed by the Beverly, Massachusetts firm of Morse & Dickinson.  Its wooden construction is unusual in that typical factory construction of the time usually involved brick or other firesafe materials.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Kevin Karplus. Kevin Karplus (born November 30, 1954) is a professor emeritus at University of California, Santa Cruz, currently in the Biomolecular Engineering Department.

He is probably best known for work he did as a computer science graduate student at Stanford University on the Karplus–Strong string synthesis algorithm.

He taught VLSI design and computer engineering for several years, helping create the Computer Engineering Department at University of California, Santa Cruz. He made some contributions to VLSI CAD, particularly to logic minimization, where he invented the if-then-else DAG (a generalization of the binary decision diagram) and a canonical form for it, before switching to protein structure prediction and bioinformatics in 1995.

He has participated in CASP (Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction) since CASP2 in 1996, and has been invited to present papers at CASP2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

He served on the Board of Directors for the International Society for Computational Biology January 2005–Jan 2011.

Karplus has long been a bicycle advocate.  In 1994, the League of American Bicyclists gave him the Phyllis W. Harmon Volunteer-of-the-Year Award.
In 2001, he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission for long standing commitment to improving bicycle transportation in Santa Cruz County.
He was also one of the founding members of People Power, a bicycle advocacy group in Santa Cruz.

Fiber roll. A fiber roll is a temporary erosion control and sediment control device used on construction sites to protect water quality in nearby streams, rivers, lakes and seas from sediment erosion. It is made of straw, coconut fiber or similar material formed into a tubular roll.

Installation
Each horizontal contour level row of fiber rolls is installed on slopes, ending with one at the base of the slope, below an active construction area before soil disturbance (earth moving) begins. The space between  each row of fiber roll is dependent on the steepness of the slope.  The steeper the slope, the more rows of evenly spaced horizontal contour level fiber rolls are used. Each fiber roll is installed on a horizontal contour level in shallow trenches 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) deep and fastened to the ground with wooden stakes.

Properly installed fiber rolls are effective at trapping sediment, generally more effectively than straw bales. During rain storms, the rolls intercept surface stormwater runoff (but not concentrating or channeling the  runoff) and reduce the velocity of flow. Water passes through a fiber roll while leaving behind the sediment on the uphill side of the roll, thereby reducing sediment erosion.

Limitations
Fiber Rolls have several limitations to their uses:
 Fiber rolls may be difficult to move once they become saturated with water.
 Fiber rolls should not be used on very steep land that is prone to mudslides, landslides or creep.
 If fiber rolls are not properly staked into the ground, they may be carried away by high flows.

Python Robotics. Python Robotics (Pyro) is a project designed to create an easy-to-use interface for accessing and controlling a wide variety of real and simulated robots.

History

Pyrobot was funded from 2003 to 2005 by the National Science Foundation as NSF DUE CCLI-EMD Award number 0231363, "Beyond LEGOs: Hardware, Software, and Curriculum for the Next Generation Robot Laboratory". The principal investigators on the NSF grant were Douglas Blank of Bryn Mawr College, Kurt Konolige of SRI International, Deepak Kumar (computer scientist) of Bryn Mawr College, Lisa Meeden of Swarthmore College, and Holly Yanco of University of Massachusetts Lowell.

PyroBot is a Python library with some C++ code for processing camera images. It has connections to Player, Stage, and Gazebo. It also contains its own simulator written completely in Python. It can directly control a variety of real robots, including the Pioneer, Khepera, AIBO, and Hemisson.

The ideas from PyroBot continue to evolve as Myro, short for My Robot, in the Institute for Personal Robots in Education software, although it is no longer for Python only. Myro can be used by many other computer languages as well.

Rapid Electronics. Rapid Electronics is a UK distributor of electronic components and educational products, and supporter of science, engineering and educational initiatives, based in Colchester, Essex.

History 
Rapid Electronics was established by Mike Lee and Chris Stevenson in 1979.  The company at this time was based in a converted barn above a garage at Aylesford, Kent
and held stock of around 200 products.  
Rapid started by advertising in the retail electronics press to generate sales and a small single sheet catalogue was mailed to customers. 

From 1981 the focus was developing sales into electronics departments at universities and colleges and this strategy was successful over the next 10 years. 
Due to expansion the company moved to Boxted in Essex in 1983 and continued to grow. Increasing sales led to a number of further moves to larger premises in the Colchester area, culminating in the building of the current 18,000sq.ft premises in Severalls Lane, Colchester.

In late 2012 the company became part of the German-owned Conrad Electronic and by 2014 Rapid had increased its stock-holding to over 100,000 products. Employing around 150 people, the company is currently located in premises close to the A12 and the Colchester Community Stadium.

Products 
The company's core products are electrical components such as resistors, capacitors and LEDs.

Customers 
Among the company's customers are electrical contractors, design engineers and assembly manufacturers, users of open source programming hardware such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi, makers of audio equipment, amateur radio and model railway enthusiasts..

Rapid Electronics is also a supplier to primary schools, secondary schools and further education institutions in the UK, specialising in equipment for the science, electronics and technology areas of the National Curriculum.

Educational initiatives 
From 2004 to 2013 Rapid Electronics partnered Toyota Manufacturing UK developing and co-ordinating the Toyota Technology Challenge, latterly known as the Toyota STEM Challenge. Pupils designed, built and raced environmentally friendly vehicles using solar power or PIC microcontroller technology. Rapid helps co-ordinate the UK Championships for the VEX Robotics Design System, an educational robotics platform, alongside other partners such as National Grid plc and Teach Design. The company has supported many educational projects, initiatives and competitions, including Near Space school projects, the Jaguar Maths in Motion Challenge, the Suffolk Creative Computing Club, the Formula Gravity racing project  and individual schools in robotics and science themed competitions. Rapid also provides resources and technical support to the Young Engineers organisation, which runs a network of engineering challenges and clubs across the UK.
