Zone Raiders. Zone Raiders is a futuristic vehicular combat video game for DOS and Macintosh focused around hovercars. Developed by Image Space Incorporated and published by Virgin Interactive, it was released in North America in 1995. The music in the game was created by the band CONTAGIAN, of which some of the Virgin Studios Audio Department were members.

Production 
Zone Raiders was developed by Image Space Incorporated and published by Virgin Interactive. It was released in late 1995 on a CD-ROM format. A demo was also made available via a free Software USA shareware disc

Digital re-release
The game was re-released digitally as a DRM-Free exclusive on ZOOM-Platform.com through a partnership between Image Space Incorporated and the Jordan Freeman Group.

Reception
A reviewer for Next Generation applauded the game as "that rarest of animals – a first-person racer that truly conveys a sense of speed." He also praised the variety of weapons, innovative power-ups, secret passageways to discover, and four-player networked play. He scored it four out of five stars. The game received a positive review from Computer Game Review, netting a "Golden Triad" score. The magazine called it "one of the best arcade style shoot 'em ups in years." A reviewer for Joystick described the game as having "borrowed its 'straight to the point' aspect" from Terminal Velocity and noted that the quality of the graphics worsened in later levels when extra details appear on the screen.

The game was listed as a "ZOOM DRM-Free Exclusive" among the Bestsellers. Computer Gaming World's Martin E. Circulis gave Zone Raiders three stars out of five, describing the graphics as "a competent, if somewhat uninspired design" and that "the missions are fairly interesting, but most will find too few for their game-dollar." Scott Wolf of PC Gamer called it "a high-tech post-apocalyptic road trip that goes right for the jugular with its mix of driving challenge and shoot-'em-up fun."

Dead letter queue. In message queueing a dead letter queue (DLQ) is a service implementation to store messages that the messaging system cannot or should not deliver. Although implementation-specific, messages can be routed to the DLQ for the following reasons:

 The message is sent to a queue that does not exist. 
 The maximum queue length is exceeded.
 The message exceeds the size limit.
 The message expires because it reached the TTL (time to live)
 The message is rejected by another queue exchange.
 The message has been read and rejected too many times.

Routing these messages to a dead letter queue enables analysis of common fault patterns and potential software problems. If a message consumer receives a message that it considers invalid, it can instead forward it an Invalid Message Channel, allowing a separation between application-level faults and delivery failures.

Queueing systems that incorporate dead letter queues include Amazon EventBridge, Amazon Simple Queue Service, Apache ActiveMQ, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, HornetQ, Microsoft Message Queuing, Microsoft Azure Event Grid and Azure Service Bus, WebSphere MQ, Solace PubSub+, Rabbit MQ, Confluent Cloud and Apache Pulsar.

Dimetcote. Dimetcote is commonly used for steel corrosion resistance. It is generally reliable under humid or corrosive conditions. Because of this, Dimetcote is widely used in ships, power generation facilities, and marine, oil, and offshore structures.

History 
The Dimetcote patent was approved in 1948 by the U.S. Patent Office. The owner of the patent is PPG Industries. Dimetcote, which was created to protect the surface of metal, could be coloured by being mixed with other paints.

Type 
There are several kinds of Dimetcote, designed for different working environments.
 Dimetcote 21-5
 Dimetcote 3a
 Dimetcote 9H
 Dimetcote 9
 Dimetcote 11
 Dimetcote 302H
 Dimetcote 4

Use

Marine 
Dimetcote is popular in the marine industry. The inorganic zinc coating of Dimetcote can protect metal components from moisture.

Construction 
Dimetcote is widely used to protect construction steel from corrosion.

Application equipment 
Dimetcote should be applied by specific sprays. Here is a list of several suitable items of equipment typically used by manufacturers.

Airless spray 
Airless spray equipment used for Dimetcote should have a fluid tip with orifice no smaller than 0.019 inch (0.48), and the minimum level of pump ratio is 28:1. Some standard airless sprays such as Spee-Flo, Graco, Nordson-Bede, and DeVilbiss meet these requirements.

Conventional spray 
Some industrial-level sprays (with teflon or leather needle packing, variable speed agitator in pressure pot, separate air and fluid pressure regulators) can also be used for Dimetcote.

Mixer 
A powerful mixer is required for Dimetcote. To meet the high pressure requirement, the mixer should be powered by an explosion-proof electric motor or air motor. Workers can attain optimal spray characteristics by adjusting the tip size or pressure of the spray.

Rechargeable fuel battery. Rechargeable fuel batteries are a new type of rechargeable battery that researchers have developed which uses electrodes in liquid form. This type of battery can either be recharged or the liquid electrodes can be replaced.

These batteries could allow electric cars to travel 500 miles before recharging. Replacing the liquid electrodes could only take a few minutes while recharging batteries takes much longer. These batteries don't have the problems of short circuits and overheating. The downsides are that nanoparticles degrade quickly, the technology is new and needs more development, they need to focus on cheaper production, and refilling stations would cost a lot to build.

Focus Designs. Focus Designs is an American based designer and distributor of self-balancing unicycles. It is known as the first company to build and release the first commercially available self-balancing unicycle. The company appeared in a 2012 episode of the Shark Tank where it was offered funding from the Sharks.

History

Focus Designs was incorporated in 2007 by Daniel Wood. He had been working at U.S. Digital in Vancouver, Washington and built a prototype that he rode in the parking lot of the company. After being laid off from the company, Wood decided to pursue the hobby of a self-balancing unicycle. The company began with Wood building a prototype in his garage which he converted from a Nimbus unicycle. David Martschinske, another former U.S. Digital employee, joined Focus Designs in 2011 and helped pitch the idea on the Shark Tank in 2012.

Focus Designs received its first angel round of investments in 2011. Focus Designs attempted to receive additional funding for the company with the help of the ABC television show Shark Tank. Wood and Martschinske pitched the product on the show and eventually were offered a $300,000 investment for 30% of the company.  They accepted the offer on the show, but they eventually turned down.

The company began with distribution in the United States, but also distributes the vehicle through a Japanese partner and is said to be expanding distribution to other parts of the world including Europe and the Russian market, which they entered in 2011.

Products

Focus Designs distributes a self-balancing unicycle which was first made available commercially on October 17, 2008. It is electric with the original design going up to 12 miles on a full charge, weighing 27 pounds, and having a maximum speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. The units utilize sensors, gyros, accelerometers, algorithms, and a hub-mounted motor that slows down or speeds up to help a rider maintain a forward and backward balance. The company has upgraded to different versions over the years, From SBUV2 to SBUV3, that includes increasing the top speed to 15 miles per hour and the vehicle traveling up to two hours on a full charge.

Focus Designs also contributed to the invention of the Solowheel, a vehicle similar to the self-balancing unicycle but without a seat. The company consulted and licensed its technology for use in the vehicle. The Solowheel (Inmotion V5 and V8) has two 212 mm long pedals to stand on and leg contact surfaces which allow for stable, precise control in lieu of a seat. The Solowheel became the basis for a new law in the state of Washington, amending the previous law that only allowed the use of Segway devices on pedestrian paths.
