Commercial Operating System. Commercial Operating System (COS) is a discontinued family of operating systems from Digital Equipment Corporation.

They supported the use of DIBOL, a programming language combining features of BASIC, FORTRAN and COBOL. COS also supported IBM RPG (Report Program Generator).

Implementations
The Commercial Operating System was implemented to run on hardware from the PDP-8 and PDP-11 families.

COS-310
COS-310 was developed for the PDP-8 to provide an operating environment for DIBOL. A COS-310 system was purchased as a package which included a desk, VT52 VDT (Video Display Tube), and a pair of eight inch floppy drives. It could optionally be purchased with one or more 2.5 MB removable media hard drives. COS-310 was one of the operating systems available on the DECmate II.

COS-350
COS-350 was developed to support the PDP-11 port of DIBOL, and was the focus for some vendors of turnkey software packages.

Pre-COS-350, a PDP 11/05 single-user batch-oriented implementation was released; the multi-user PDP 11/10-based COS came about 4 years later.  The much more powerful PDP-11/34 "added significant configuration flexibility and expansion capability."

EcAMSat. EcAMSat, or E. coli AntiMicrobial Satellite, was NASA's first 6U CubeSat, developed to investigate the effects of microgravity on the antibiotic resistance of E. coli. The spacecraft was launched aboard an Orbital ATK Antares rocket from Wallops Flight Facility on 12 November 2017, and was deployed from the International Space Station on 20 November 2017.

Background 
During the development of the PharmaSat spacecraft, two identical flight units were built and brought to the launch site, with the FLT-2 unit being the one ultimately launched as "PharmaSat". The FLT-1 unit sat in storage, and was later put to use as a NASA Ames Research Center Mission of Opportunity (MoO) flight, selected for funding under the Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity program. Originally named "PharmaSat-ECAM", EcAMSat was developed from both legacy hardware and software from the PharmaSat mission.

EcAMSat was the fifth mission to utilize NASA Ames Research Center's NanoSat 1.0 bus, which has flown on GeneSat-1, PharmaSat, NanoSail-D2, and O/OREOS.

Operations 
EcAMSat was operated by Santa Clara University's Robotic Systems Lab in Santa Clara, California. After deployment, the first amateur radio beacon packets were received by amateur radio operator JA0CAW on 20 November 2017, and Santa Clara University closed the S-Band radio link for the first time on 21 November 2017.

EcAMSat transmitted an AX.25 beacon packet once every 5 seconds at 437.100 megahertz.

Armour Creameries Poultry House. The Armour Creameries Poultry House, also known as the Armour warehouse and the Garst Company warehouse, is a historic building located in Coon Rapids, Iowa, United States. Jens Jensen sold his regional creamery business to Armour and Company in June 1928. That facility, which is no longer extant, was located on the north side of the central business district. By August, Armour was constructing a new building along the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad tracks on the south side of business district. By doing so Armour connected Coon Rapids with larger markets by upgrading one of its industries, bringing in outside professionals to operate it, bringing new workers to expand the town, and sending its products out to the larger markets. Armour continued operating this facility into the late 1950s. The building was bought by the Garst Seed Company, who used it as a warehouse. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Bismuth polycations. Bismuth polycations are polyatomic ions of the formula . They were originally observed in solutions of bismuth metal in molten bismuth chloride. It has since been found that these clusters are present in the solid state, particularly in salts where germanium tetrachloride or tetrachloroaluminate serve as the counteranions, but also in amorphous phases such as glasses and gels. Bismuth endows materials with a variety of interesting optical properties that can be tuned by changing the supporting material. Commonly-reported structures include the trigonal bipyramidal  cluster, the octahedral  cluster, the square antiprismatic  cluster, and the tricapped trigonal prismatic  cluster.

Known materials

Crystalline 
 Bi5(AlCl4)3
 Bi8(AlCl4)2
 Bi5(GaCl4)3
 Bi8(GaCl4)2

Metal complexes 
 [CuBi8][AlCl4]3
 [Ru(Bi8)2]6+
 [Ru2Bi14Br4][AlCl4]4

Structure and bonding 
Bismuth polycations form despite the fact that they possess fewer total valence electrons than would seem necessary for the number of sigma bonds. The shapes of these clusters are generally dictated by Wade's rules, which are based on the treatment of the electronic structure as delocalized molecular orbitals. The bonding can also be described with three-center two-electron bonds in some cases, such as the  cluster.
Bismuth clusters have been observed to act as ligands for copper and ruthenium ions. This behavior is possible due to the otherwise fairly inert lone pairs on each of the bismuth that arise primarily from the s-orbitals left out of Bi–Bi bonding.

Optical properties 
The variety of electron-deficient sigma aromatic clusters formed by bismuth gives rise to a wide range of spectroscopic behaviors. Of particular interest are the systems capable of low-energy electronic transitions, as these have demonstrated potential as near-infrared light emitters. It is the tendency of electron-deficient bismuth to form sigma-delocalized clusters with small HOMO/LUMO gaps that gives rise to the near-infrared emissions. This property makes these species potentially valuable to the field of near-infrared optical tomography, which exploits the near-infrared window in biological tissue.

Lucien March. Lucien March (6 December 1859 – 4 April 1933) was a French demographer, statistician, and engineer.

In 1878 Lucien March enrolled in l'École polytechnique and after graduation in 1880 served in the naval artillery corps. He was the director of the  (SGF) from 1896 to 1920. In 1896, he introduced Hollerith punched card tabulating machines into France and later invented an improved machine, the classifier-counter-printer, which was used until the 1940s. He also arranged a sorting process using the workplace addresses of the people counted in the French population census to generate valuable economic data and labor statistics.

He was an invited speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Rome (1908), Toronto (1924), and Bologna (1928).

In 1912, upon his return from an international congress on eugenics, held in London, March helped to found a French eugenics society, which published in 1922 , a collection of essays on eugenics. In the 1920s he played an important role in the International Federation of Eugenics Organizations.

Affordaplane. The Affordaplane (sometimes written Afford-A-Plane) is an American plans-built, high wing, strut-braced, single engine, tractor configuration, conventional landing gear equipped ultralight aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.  Designed by Dave Edwards, it is intended for amateur construction. The aircraft plans claim it can be built out of readily sourced and inexpensive materials using common tools in 150 to 250 hours construction time.

Design and development
The Affordaplane is constructed of an 6061 T-6 aluminum tube fuselage and other structural components, using both square and round aluminum tube.  Wings are a "ladder-type" cross-brace structure supported by struts and covered in doped fabric. Builders have the option of constructing the ribs out of aluminum tube or rigid foam. Instead of welding, structural components are attached with riveted or bolted aluminum gussets. The cockpit is exposed with a plexiglass or Lexan windshield. The controls are conventional 3-axis.

When built as a Part 103 ultralight, the aircraft is intended to be powered by a 26 hp (19 kW) Rotax 277, 35 hp (26 kW) Rotax 377, or similar engine. Heavier and more powerful engines including the Rotax 503 may also be used, but will result in exceeding the FAR Part 103 less than 254 pound (115 kg) empty weight limit, if the aircraft is otherwise built as designed. The plans recommend Rotax engines, but the Half VW, Kawasaki 340 and Kawasaki 440 have also been used.

The Affordaplane has a unique single acting aileron control surface approximately the entire length of the wing.  Some builders have configured these as flaperons but the plans do not include details for this modification.

Variants
The plans are drawn as a single-seat version.  At least one builder has constructed a two-seat, tandem version.
