Bad Robots. Bad Robots is a British television prank show that originally aired on E4 from November 2014. Made by Objective Productions, the show centres on a fleet of seemingly defective and even mischievous machines, devices and robots produced by the fictional TezCorp Industries. Unsuspecting members of the public were filmed using these everyday machines, resulting in practical-joke and hidden-camera laughs.
 
Bad Robots was commissioned for Comedy Blaps (Channel 4's vehicle for piloting comedy) in late 2013. The pilot was written and performed by Lee Kern, who played a prototype version of the show's primary robot, "BOT". The show was subsequently commissioned for a full series of 6 episodes, to air on E4.

The series was created by Nathan Eastwood, directed by Paul Routledge, and written and produced by Ben Spiteri. Lee Kern wrote the sequences featuring "BOT". Motion graphics for the series were created by Compost Creative. A host of comedy talent provided voices for the machines, including Lee Kern as "BOT", Sir Michael Gambon, Simon Greenall, Rob Delaney, Terry Mynott, Diane Morgan and Tom Allen.

The first episode drew an average audience figure of 338,000.

Silent Family. Silent Family is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Westerrade and owned by Helmut Grossklaus. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of ultralight trikes.

The company's first product, the Silent Glider M is described as "very original" by Bertrand et al. It takes a rigid wing hang glider and adds a pod fuselage, with a bubble canopy to transform the aircraft into an enclosed cockpit, retractable landing gear-equipped ultralight motor glider.

The Silent Racer is a similar concept, but an open-cockpit, powered podded fuselage that uses a conventional flexible hang glider wing.

Lesser known was Farwell's development of a timing device that allowed machine gun bullets to be fired through the whirling propellers of airplanes without striking the blades. Near the time of World War I, Farwell was called to Washington, D.C. by the War Department to further refine his ideas. Farwell left Dubuque in 1921 to demonstrate a merry-go-round he had patented. He sold a phonograph invention to the Victor Talking Machine Company. He returned to the gear-cutting business in Toledo. Three sons-Jay, Ray, and Fay survived him.

Since 1973, he has been with the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,
where he is currently Professor Emeritus.

The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada currently has him serving as Professor Emeritus. He started his career in 1973 at the University after having worked for Bonneville Power Administration in Portland, Oregon, USA where he was involved in developing several computer programs, including what is now known as the EMTP. He has imparted his knowledge on electromagnetic transients through short courses that he has taught at utilities and universities globally. His contributions to the field have been recognized with his appointment as a Life Fellow of IEEE. Additionally, he held the Industrial Research Chair, which was sponsored by B.C. Hydro and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, from 1995 to 2000.

Early life and education

Born in Germany in 1933, Hermann earned his Dipl.Ing. and Dr.Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University Munich in 1959 and 1962, respectively.

Amalto. Amalto Technologies S.A. is a software development company based in Paris, France. The company develops and operates business-to-business (B2B) document exchange software solutions and provides system integration services. It serves the oil & gas, industrial, environmental and enterprise markets.

Amalto Technologies is a private company owned by its management, employees and venture capitalists. It has offices in the US (Houston), France (Paris) and Canada (Calgary).

History 
The company was founded in 2005 in Paris by four individuals who had either launched e-procurement projects as employees of oil and gas companies, or worked as suppliers to these companies and other operators.

In 2008, Chevron selected Amalto's b2een solution to enable electronic transactions with its suppliers.

In June 2009, Amalto Technologies closed a class A share sale to Succès Europe, a French angel investor holding.

Amalto developed a master data management (MDM) product Xtentis by 2008. It was based on a native XML database and leveraged open-source technology, such as eXist XML server and JBoss.

In September 2009, Xtentis was acquired by Talend, a French open source software vendor. In January 2010, the system was released as an open source product under name Talend MDM (delivered as a free open source version Talend Open Studio for MDM and subscription-based Talend Platform for MDM). It became the first open source MDM solution on the market.

In February 2011, the company launched Amalto e-Business Cloud, a B2B electronic document exchange solution for trading partner collaboration.

On 6 April 2021, Sidetrade announced the acquisition of Almato for $16m.

Products and services 
Amalto's main offering is the e-Business Cloud, a private-cloud fully-managed solution supporting electronic B2B transactions with trading partners (clients, suppliers, logistics providers,…) and automating business processes such as Order-to-Cash.

Clients 
Amalto provides services to such corporations as Chevron, GE Grid Solutions, Suez, Thales Group, Iron Mountain, Clean Harbors, National Oilwell Varco (NOV). As of 2011, over 20% of electronic invoices sent to Chevron by its suppliers were dispatched using software of Amalto.

Amalto focuses on "mid tier" suppliers, which send hundreds of invoices per year, which is a lot of manual work, but not enough for them to justify investing in more expensive electronic data interchange (EDI) systems for handling purchases. Amalto worked with such suppliers as Mullen Group, Dixie Electric, Complete Production Services, Stallion Oilfield Holdings and others.

Recognition 
Amalto was rated by Gartner to be one of the three Cool Vendors in Platform and Integration Middleware in 2009.

1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene. 1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene is an organic compound with the formula CH(OH).  It is one of several isomers of dihydroxynaphthalene.  A white solid, degraded samples often appear grey to light brown solid  that are soluble in polar organic solvents.  It is a precursor to certain dyes.

Preparation and use
1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene is prepared from naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid by hydrolysis with strong base followed by acidification.

It couples with various aryl diazonium salts to give diazo dyes.  Oxidation with chromium trioxide gives juglone, a naturally occurring dye.

In supramolecular chemistry, 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene is a popular reagent.
