STAMINA4Space. The Space Technology and Applications Mastery, Innovation and Advancement (abbreviated and stylized as STAMINA4Space) is a space technology program by the Philippine government. It is considered as the successor program to the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Microsatellite (PHL-Microsat) program, a cooperation between the Philippine government and Japanese universities to develop microsatellites. The program is funded under the Department of Science and Technology.

It aims to use the results from the PHL-Microsat program to further research and develop small satellite technology capability in the country.

STAMINA4Space Program officially succeeded the PHL-Microsat program in August 2018, inheriting two satellites, Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 and the CubeSat Maya-1.

Sub-projects
The project is divided into five sub-projects.

STEP-UP Project
One of the four components of the STAMINA4Space Program is the Space Science and Technology Proliferation through University Partnerships (STEP-UP) Project. Under the program engineering students from the University of the Philippines who seeks to pursue a nanosatellite engineering track will learn how to build nanosatellites within the university's Diliman campus and have a cube satellite designed by themselves tested for space environment at the Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. The satellites will then be launched to the International Space Station for deployment and students will be trained on operating the satellites.

A University Consortium on Space Science and Technology Applications is planned to be established within the STEP-UP Project and focus will be shifted to providing nanosatellite engineering scholarships and setting ground stations in within other universities in the country.

Human presence detection. Human presence detection is a range of technologies and methods for detecting the presence of a human body in an area of interest (AOI), or verification that computer, smartphone (or other device controlled by software) is operated by human. 
Software and hardware technologies are used for human presence detection. Unlike human sensing, that is dealing with human body only, human presence detection technologies are used to verify for safety, security or other reasons that human person, but not any other object is identified. Methods can be used for internet security authentication.   These include software technologies such CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, as well as hardware technologies such as:
 Radar technology 
 Image recognition of human shapes
 Security switch
 Fingerprint sensors
 Infrared detectors
 Acoustic sensors
 Vibration sensors

Examples
 reCAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA-like system designed to establish that a computer user is human (normally in order to protect websites from bots) and, at the same time, assist in the digitization of books.
 A sensor based on a piezoelectric film (EMFI sensor) is used to detect mechanical vibrations and the presence of a person seated on the rear bench of a vehicle. In order to distinguish between humans, heavy objects, and empty seats, signal processing techniques are used. mmWave radar technology can also be used to detect the presence and location of humans in vehicles.

History
The first robot to successfully demonstrate a static motion detection capability was ROBART I, which was Everett's 1981 thesis project at the Naval Postgraduate School.  
In 1997 CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") was invented. This test is used to ensure that computer is operated by a human, preventing spam robots.

Hubert N. Charles. Hubert Noel Charles (1893–1982) was an English automotive engineer most famous for his work at MG.

Early years

H. N. Charles was born on 22 November 1893 in Barnet the son of Thomas Charles, a Solicitor, and his wife Constance Emily. and educated at Highgate school and University College London where he gained a degree in engineering.

In 1914 he joined the Royal Naval Air Service as a mechanic before moving to the Royal Flying Corps where he was Engineering Officer to No 56 Squadron. By the end of the war he had been promoted to Captain.

After the war he joined Zenith Carburettors as a Sales Engineer and then Automotive Products before getting a job in 1924 as a trouble shooter with Morris Motors at Cowley.

MG

In 1925 Hubert Charles met Cecil Kimber of the MG Car Company and although still working for Morris started doing work for MG in his spare time making the MG bodies fit the new Morris Oxford chassis and went on to design a "Comparator", an early rolling road, on which cars could be adjusted. In 1928 he officially joined MG as Chief Draughtsman. The MG M-type Midget was launched in 1929 with the overhead camshaft Wolseley engine of 20bhp output which did not satisfy Charles so he revised the camshaft increasing the power to 27bhp for 1930. This work led him on to the supercharged engine for the C-Type, still based on the original Wolsley design, where the output was 62bhp. As engine power increased the traditional leaf sprung chassis increasingly could not cope so Charles designed a backbone chassis with all-round independent suspension for the R-Type.

In 1935 MG became part of Morris Motors and Charles was moved to the main design office at Cowley where he worked on cars for both marques including designing the front suspension for the Morris Ten.

Later life

H. N. Charles left Morris in 1938 to join Rotol Airscrews as Chief Engineer where he developed a reversing gear and a blade-feathering device. before joining Austin in 1943 as development engineer and was responsible for the coil-sprung front suspension of the Austin A40. He clashed with the chairman of Austin Leonard Lord and left the company in 1958 to found his own engineering consultancy.

Hubert Charles retired to Teddington in around 1961 and died in Oxford on 18 January 1982 at the age of 88.

Grigorovich MK-1. The Grigorovich MK-1 (MK - Morskoi Kreiser - sea cruiser) was a large trimotor floatplane, built and tested in Imperial Russia in 1916.

Design and development
Grigorovich responded to a requirement for a reconnaissance-bomber, for use in the Baltic Sea and Black Sea, issued by the Imperial Russian Navy central headquarters. The resulting large seaplane following the layout of the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, with a large glazed cabin sitting atop a long slender fuselage. The fuselage and large wings were mounted on a large central float, which also housed a large gunners cockpit housing two gunners. The wings, mounted with flexible bungee joints allowing up to  of movement, also carried wing-tip floats for stability on the water. Two  Renault 12E V-12 water-cooled engines were mounted in strut-supported nacelles between the upper and lower mainplanes. A third engine was added to the centre section of the upper mainplane, to address perceived centre-of-gravity problems and increase the power available; initially this was to have been a  Sunbeam Crusader, later replaced by a  Hispano-Suiza 8A before flight trials commenced. 

The sole MK-1 was readied for flight trials in mid-November 1916 but nosed over and sank during taxy trials before the first flight.

McDonnell HRH. The McDonnell HRH, company designation Model 78, was a 1950s transport helicopter proposal for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) by McDonnell Aircraft, designed to operate from Commencement Bay-class escort carriers.

Development
McDonnell Aircraft was awarded a contract for the aircraft in March 1951 after responding to a 1950 USMC requirement for an assault transport helicopter to carry 30 fully-equipped marines and two pilots from an escort carrier. The HRH emerged as a compound helicopter with a three-bladed rotor driven by McDonnell-designed  tip jets fed by auxiliary compressors driven by the main engines, which were also equipped with three-bladed propellers that would provide forward thrust once the stall speed of the aircraft's stub wings was exceeded. The aircraft would be equipped with a hydraulic loading ramp under the cockpit, and could alternately carry two smaller vehicles or 24 stretchers instead of 30 troops. The rotors, stub wings, and tail would fold to allow the large aircraft to use the small deck elevators on Commencement Bay-class escort carriers.

A full-scale mockup was inspected and approved by the U.S. Navy in October 1952 and construction of three prototypes (bureau numbers 133736 to 133738) was authorized; however, officials were concerned about potential developmental problems, and the end of the Korean War led to substantial US military budget cuts. Although the Bureau of Aeronautics had expected the XHRH-1 to fly in December 1955, the design was cancelled in 1953 in favor in of the Sikorsky HR2S, the first prototype remaining uncompleted. All work on the aircraft was terminated in April 1954.

McDonnell XHCH. The McDonnell XHCH (Model 86) was a 1950s aerial crane helicopter proposal for the United States Navy by the McDonnell Corporation.

Development
The XHCH was developed in the early 1950s to meet a US Navy requirement for a helicopter capable of carrying supplies and ammunition between ships and carrying heavy loads for short distances from ship-to-shore or from marshalling areas ashore to front-line units. Three prototypes (BuNos 138654/138656) were ordered, and a full-size mockup was inspected in May 1953. However, budget cuts forced the Navy to cancel the XHCH-1 project on January 18, 1959, without a prototype being built.

Hunter 22. The Hunter 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1981.

Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1981 and 1985, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Hunter 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or centerboard. It is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

Standard factory equipment included a stove and cooler, a teak and holly wooden cabin sole, a dinette table and portable head, a  fresh water tank, outboard motor bracket, life jackets and an anchor.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin on the starbord side under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "...construction was on the light side, featuring plastic hatch hinges and low-end hardware. Best features: With her big beam, the boat has good space for weekend cruising. Theoretical speed is highest among comp[etitor]s as a result of a relatively long waterline, though low SA/D ratio indicates she will not be fast in light air ... Worst features: ... Owners complain that weather helm be annoying in winds over ten knots. In reality this may be a result of not reefing the main when the breeze pipes up. Owners also complain that, in waves, the outboard prop tends to come out of the water and cavitate."

Variants
