Hertz–Knudsen equation. In surface chemistry, the Hertz–Knudsen equation, also known as Knudsen–Langmuir equation describes evaporation rates, named after Heinrich Hertz and Martin Knudsen.

Definition

Non-dissociative adsorption (Langmuirian adsorption)
The Hertz–Knudsen equation describes the non-dissociative adsorption of a gas molecule on a surface by expressing the variation of the number of molecules impacting on the surfaces per unit of time as a function of the pressure of the gas and other parameters which characterise both the gas phase molecule and the surface:

where:

Since the equation result has the units of s−1 it can be assimilated to a rate constant for the adsorption process.

Tape op. A tape operator or tape op, also known as a second engineer, is a person who performs menial operations in a recording studio in a similar manner to a tea boy or gopher. They may act as an apprentice or an assistant to a recording engineer and duties can consist of threading audio tape, setting up microphones and stands, configuring MIDI equipment and cables, and sometimes pressing the relevant transport controls on the recorder or digital audio workstation. Abbey Road Studios always assigned at least one tape op to each recording session.

History and prospects
The role of tape op was a useful entry into a professional recording environment, and several went on to successful careers as engineers and record producers. The music and film soundtrack producer John Kurlander started his production career at Abbey Road Studios in 1967 as a tea boy, progressing to principal tape op (or assistant engineer) by 1969. He was partially responsible for including "Her Majesty" on the Beatles' Abbey Road after carefully splicing a discarded take of the song onto the master tape. Alan Parsons also began his production career as an Abbey Road tape op, which led to him to assisting with the mixing of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and engineering on The Dark Side of the Moon.

Due to the increasing ability to produce professional quality recordings at home studios, the experience that can be gained by working as a tape op is being lost, resulting in people having a harder learning curve with music engineering and production.

The company was founded by Bill Moyes in 1967 and specializes in the design and manufacture of hang gliders. The company's designs have won many world, national and regional championships.

One of the oldest hang glider manufacturers in the world, the company's Litespeed line monopolized world competition throughout the 2000s.

An affiliated company, Moyes Microlights, builds the Moyes Dragonfly hang glider tug and at one time built the Moyes Tempest microlight sailplane.

History
Founded in 1967 by Bill Moyes, a pioneer hang glider pilot, the company started building Moyes' own glider designs for towing behind boats initially. Moyes turned to mountain foot launching in 1968 at Mount Crackenback in the Australian Alps and glider designs developed accordingly. In early competition Moyes won many titles and awards. He retired from competition in 1974 to concentrate on glider design and production, while his son, Steve Moyes, took up competition flying for the Moyes brand.

In November 2014 the company moved from its longstanding location in Botany, New South Wales to Kurnell, New South Wales.

Bill Moyes died in September 2024.

Solvatten. Solvatten is a simple portable device which uses sunlight to purify water for drinking. It was invented by Petra Wadström and was intended mainly for domestic use in the developing world. Provided the sun is strong enough, it takes two to six hours to produce ten litres of drinking water. It works through a combination of the natural ultra-violet radiation and heat (infra-red radiation) in sunlight, and also incorporates a filter mesh.

The device is marketed by a company, Solvatten AB, founded in 2006.


The device 

The Solvatten device consists of two hinged parts which can open in the manner of a book, revealing two transparent plastic surfaces. Each half can hold five litres of water. When the device is placed in the sun, the plastic allows ultra-violet radiation to reach the water, which is also heated by the sunlight. It becomes safe to drink within two to six hours. Use of the device can reduce the use of wood to boil water, thus acting to limit deforestation and carbon dioxide emissions.

Reception 

The device has received several awards:
 2009: World Wildlife Fund, "Climate Solver"
 2011: International Green Awards, "Best Green New Product Innovation"
 2011: Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, SACC New York-Deloitte Green Award
 2013: The Energy Globe Award Mali
 2013: Sveriges Ingenjörer, The Polhem Prize
