Dr. Brain: Action Reaction. Dr. Brain: Action Reaction is the third installment of the Dr. Brain series by Knowledge Adventure, based on the series by Sierra Entertainment.

In this game, the player is captured along with Dr. Brain by S.P.O.R.E., Sinister People Organized Really Efficiently, and taken to a secret underwater base from which the object of the game is to escape. Using the three laws of physics, switch flipping, rocket turrets, and the "helping hand" to knock out guards, the player and Dr. Brain must find a way to foil S.P.O.R.E.'s plan of world domination and capture the evil Dr. Craven.

The game is composed of 45 different levels of varying difficulty. The player must use quick footwork and lightning fast mental skills to avoid obstacles along the way. The music for this game was written and produced by Giorgio Bertuccelli and Michael Skloff. For the most part, it is a collage of soft rock, techno, and pop as befits an action game.

Pilot Motor Car Company. The Pilot Motor Car Company of Richmond, Indiana, was an American automobile manufacturer founded in 1909 and headed by George Seidel, of the Seidel Buggy Company.

History
Initially, the cars were built in the Seidel Buggy factory while a stand-alone factory was constructed across town.  The origin of the makes name is believed to have come from Seidel's desire to become a river boat pilot.  They were marketed under the advertising slogan "The Car Ahead".  The new factory, once completed, had an initial capacity of 500 cars per year, though in some later years, production approached 1,000.  The firm was one of the first in the automotive field to hire women, though mainly for upholstery and curtain work.

Models
At first, 4-cylinder Teetor-Hartley engines were the motive force of the cars.  In 1913, a 6-cylinder engine was added to the line-up.  From 1915 to 1924, only six-cylinders were offered, except for 1916, when a V8 engine made a one-year appearance as an engine choice.  In 1913, the six-cylinder car cost $2,500, as opposed to the mid-priced $1,500 to$1,800 ()  four-cylinder cars.  In 1920, a larger Herschell-Spillman six was added.  A Sportster model was introduced in the summer of 1922, with barrel headlights and no running boards.

Pilots were durable cars, and was regularly exported. Seidel received a letter in the 1940s from a car dealer in South America, who inquired if any Pilots were still available, and their price. Seidel was proud supporter of his hometown industries, as evidenced by the cars he drove during his lifetime: first, a Richmond; then a Pilot,  and finally, a Davis.

Lorraine and Pilots demise
The firm took over the local Lorraine automobile manufacturer, but that could not help it survive long beyond the 1920-21 depression.  A few Lorraine hearses were produced before that marque was discontinued.  The Pilot Motor Car Company was forced into receivership in 1923 by what Seidel described as "cut-throat tactics of Eastern money interests."  The last Pilots were produced in early 1924, and the factory was then sold to a local businessman for $28,500.

Praseodymium(III) oxide. Praseodymium(III) oxide, praseodymium oxide or praseodymia is the chemical compound composed of praseodymium and oxygen with the formula Pr2O3. It forms light green hexagonal crystals. Praseodymium(III) oxide crystallizes in the manganese(III) oxide or bixbyite structure.

Uses
Praseodymium(III) oxide can be used as a dielectric in combination with silicon. Praseodymium-doped glass, called didymium glass, turns yellow and is used in welding goggles because it blocks infrared radiation. Praseodymium(III) oxide is also used to color glass and ceramics yellow.
For coloring ceramics, also the very dark brown mixed-valence compound praseodymium(III,IV) oxide, Pr6O11, is used.

Novodur. Lustran and Novodur are trade names for various types of styrenic resins (ABS, ASA, SMA) owned by INEOS Styrolution, which is part of INEOS. These resins are used mainly for housings and covers requiring good toughness, strength, stiffness, chemical resistance and a good to very good surface finish. In addition to the general-purpose injection molding grades, the range comprises a large number of high heat resistant grades as well as special-purpose products for extrusion and chemical electroplating. Glass fiber reinforced and flame retardant grades are also available.

In the Czech Republic (and formerly in Czechoslovakia), "Novodur" was a trade name (registered by the company Fatra a.s. for domestic use 2.6.1971) for PVC-U (non-softened polyvinyl chloride). The term is still used in the country, mostly as an informal term for plumbing pipes.

Embedded Supercomputing. Embedded Supercomputing (EmbSup) a relatively new solution which targets fine grain and coarse grain parallelism altogether. This combination thought to be a best way for exploiting fine and coarse grain parallelism by targeting fine grain parallelism towards FPGAs and coarse grained parallelism towards super computers or clusters.

Basically Embedded Supercomputing is a hybrid network of CPU and FPGA hardware, where FPGA acts as external co-processor to CPU. However, this programming model is still evolving and has many challenges.

Carquinez Strait Powerline Crossing. Carquinez Strait Powerline Crossing was the world's first powerline crossing of a large river. It was built in 1901 for a 60 kV powerline operated by Bay Counties Power Company to deliver electric power from their Colgate powerhouse to Oakland, California. For this a crossing of Carquinez Strait was required, which has at its narrowest point at Dillon Point a width of . Such a span width was impossible with wooden poles, which were common in those days. Installing an underwater cable was considered, but for reliability reasons an overhead power line was installed, which used at the north site of the river a  tall lattice tower and at the south site one with a height of .

Wings of Freedom Aviation Museum. The Wings of Freedom Aviation Museum in Horsham, Pennsylvania is a museum dedicated to preserving the aviation history of the Greater Delaware Valley including NAS Willow Grove and Harold F. Pitcairn. It is owned and operated by the Delaware Valley Historical Aircraft Association (DVHAA), a non-profit organization. Opened in 2004, the museum features restored historic aircraft, flight helmets, flight gear, air to air missiles, Martin-Baker ejection seats, and military service medals.

History
The museum traces its history back to the work of Lieutenant Commander David Ascher. Shortly after becoming the aircraft maintenance officer in May 1946, Ascher acquired a Curtiss TP-40N Warhawk from a local high school and displayed it at NAS Willow Grove. Later, through his efforts, an Arado Ar 196 was also added for display. Finally, in 1947, several captured Axis aircraft were recovered from Patuxent River and transported to the base for display.

Although most of the aircraft were later transferred to the National Air and Space Museum, Naval Aviation Museum, and other institutions, the Delaware Valley Historical Aircraft Association was able to found a new museum. Construction on the new building began in May 2002 and the museum opened to the public in 2004.

The museum began planning for an expansion in 2011, but it was delayed by the discovery of hazardous chemicals left over from the area's time as a military base.

Anion-exchange membrane. An anion exchange membrane (AEM) is a semipermeable membrane generally made from ionomers and designed to conduct anions but reject gases such as oxygen or hydrogen.

Applications 
Anion exchange membranes are used in electrolytic cells and fuel cells to separate reactants present around the two electrodes while transporting the anions essential for the cell operation. An important example is the hydroxide anion exchange membrane used to separate the electrodes of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) or direct-ethanol fuel cell (DEFC).

Poly(fluorenyl-co-aryl piperidinium) (PFAP)-based anion exchange materials (electrolyte membrane and electrode binder) with high ion conductivity and durability under alkaline conditions has been demonstrated for use to extract hydrogen from water. Performance was 7.68 A/cm2 at 2 V, some 6x the performance of existing materials. Its yield is about 1.2 times that of commercial proton-exchange membrane technology (6 A/cm2), and it does not require the use of expensive rare-earth elements. The system works by increasing the specific surface area.

Quantum phases. Quantum phases are quantum states of matter at zero temperature. Even at zero temperature a quantum-mechanical system has quantum fluctuations and therefore can still support phase transitions. As a physical parameter is varied, quantum fluctuations can drive a phase transition into a different phase of matter. An example of a canonical quantum phase transition is the well-studied Superconductor Insulator Transition in disordered thin films which separates two quantum phases having different symmetries. Quantum magnets provide another example of QPT. The discovery of new quantum phases is a pursuit of many scientists. These phases of matter exhibit properties and symmetries which can potentially be exploited for technological purposes and the benefit of mankind.

The difference between these states and classical states of matter is that classically, materials exhibit different phases which ultimately depends on the change in temperature and/or density or some other macroscopic property of the material whereas quantum phases can change in response to a change in a different type of order parameter (which is instead a parameter in the Hamiltonian of the system, unlike the classical case) of the system at zero temperature – temperature does not have to change. The order parameter plays a role in quantum phases analogous to its role in classical phases. Some quantum phases are the result of a superposition of many other quantum phases.

Language for Instruction Set Architecture. LISA (Language for Instruction Set Architectures) is a language to describe the instruction set architecture of a processor. LISA captures the information required to generate software tools (compiler, assembler, instruction set simulator, ...) and implementation hardware (in VHDL or Verilog) of a given processor.

LISA has been used to re-implement the hardware of existing processor cores, keeping the binary compatibility with the legacy version, as all software tools did already exist and legacy compiled software images could be executed on the newly created hardware. Another application has been to generate the ISS (instruction set simulator) for RISC processors such the ARM architecture ISSes.

LISA' is not focused on the modeling of other on-chip components around the processor core itself, such as peripherals, hardware accelerators, buses and memories; Other languages such as SystemC can be used for these.

The language has not been yet standardised by IEEE or ISO and is currently owned by RWTH Aachen University, in Germany.

History 

LISA was initially developed at Institute for Integrated Signal Processing Systems (ISS) Aachen, belonging to RWTH Aachen University, in Germany.  The current official version from RWTH Aachen is LISA 2.0. The language is still in evolution to cover research on processors, including Reconfigurable computing (in LISA 3.0), multi-core, parallel programming.

One noticeable branch called LISA+ has been created for handling the modeling of peripherals such as interrupt controllers, timers, etc.
