J. B. Hartley. John Bernard Hartley (3 September 1814 – 14 December 1869) was a British civil engineer, son of Jesse Hartley the Liverpool docks engineer. He was engineer on the Hull Railway Dock, and Victoria Dock, and other works, and was instrumental in promoting the Birkenhead Docks on the Mersey.

He retired in 1861 due to ill health and died in 1869.

Biography
John Bernard Hartley was born on 3 September 1814 in Dungarvan, Waterford, son of Jesse Hartley, engineer of the Liverpool docks. He was brought up in Pontefract Yorkshire and educated at Giggleswick school, after which he began training under his father on the Liverpool dock estate. In 1835 he was placed under James Walker.

In 1840 he began working independently, and in 1842 was appointed engineer of the Hull Dock Company. There he was engineer during the construction of the Railway Dock and Victoria Dock. He left the employment of the dock company in 1858.

He also worked on lighthouses on the River Lune, at its mouth near Morecambe Bay, on the Hull and Barnsley Railway, the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway, and on docks at Purton Pill and Silloth Bay, a graving dock at Grimsby, a scheme for docks at Cardiff, and on the drainage of Port Madoc. In association with his father, he also worked on the docks at Liverpool and Birkenhead.

He was involved in prolonged attempts to obtain a bill enabling the construction of deep water docks at Birkenhead to the design of James Meadows Rendel, and later, in 1858, became engineer of the Birkenhead Docks.

His health failed in 1860, and he had left for the warmer climate of the Mediterranean when he received news of his father's death. He was appointed to his father's position on the Liverpool Docks estate, but retired owing to poor health, although he was retained as a consulting engineer. He subsequently lived at Letrualt House near Rhu, Dumbarton, while also travelling to spas in Switzerland. He died on 14 December 1869.

Exploration Upper Stage. The Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) is a rocket stage under development that will be used for future flights of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). Used on SLS Block 1B and Block 2, it will replace the SLS Block 1's Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage. The stage will be powered by four RL10C-3 engines burning liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to produce a total thrust of .  The EUS is expected to first fly on Artemis IV in 2028.

Development 
The Block 1 configuration of SLS, which first flew the Artemis I mission, has a core stage powered by four RS-25 engines, two Space Shuttle-derived five-segment solid rocket boosters, and an Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) upper stage.

NASA will develop the EUS to increase SLS performance for trans-lunar injection beyond Block 1 specifications. The improved upper stage was originally named the Dual Use Upper Stage (DUUS, pronounced "duce"), but was later renamed the Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) due to DUUS sounding like a profanity in Japanese.

In 2014, NASA announced that it would proceed with development of Block 1B with the EUS and would use it on Exploration Mission 2, now referred to as Artemis II. In April 2016, it was reported that NASA has chosen to use a design based on four RL10-C3 engines for the EUS, and in October 2016 NASA confirmed they had ordered 10 of the engines.

In 2018, it was decided to optimize EUS for payload to lunar missions, by using smaller tanks.

By February 2020, the development contract for EUS had been delayed, and NASA was planning to use ICPS for the first three launches of the SLS.

Boeing announced on 21 December 2020 that the EUS of the SLS completed a critical design review (CDR) with NASA. That review confirmed the design of the EUS, allowing Boeing to proceed with development of the stage, including hardware fabrication.

In March 2022, Boeing discussed the possibility of using a carbon composite liquid oxygen tank on the EUS, offering mass savings of up to 30%.

EPower Engine Systems. ePower Engine Systems, llc. is a developer of hybrid electric drive train technology for Class 8 trucks. It was issued US Patent 8,783,396 on July 22, 2014 encompassing their drive train technology. ePower is in the final stages of its Research and Development of a diesel electric kit for rebuilding older Class 8 trucks. The kit consists of a road-certified diesel engine, batteries, electric motor and an automatic transmission from major manufacturers.

Technique
ePower Engine Systems' technique is to have a diesel generator drive an electric motor and utilize an automatic transmission to drive the wheels of large Class 8 trucks (called semi trucks in the USA). Batteries are used to store additional power needed to climb grades and recharged either by the genset or regenerative braking. The diesel engine being used is about 1/2 the size of a normal engine found in one of these trucks. Therefore, the diesel consumption is about thirty to forty percent less than a normal truck. The company is currently experimenting with an Eaton 10-speed transmission and Super capacitors.  The Cummins diesel engine, Marathon generator and Marathon electric motor remain as in prior versions of the kit.

British commercial spaceport competition. The British commercial spaceport competition was a plan by the UK government announced in early 2014 to select a site, build a commercial spaceport, and have it in operation by 2018.  Although six sites were shortlisted for possible selection by 2015, the competition was ended without a selection in May 2016 and replaced by a statement from the UK government regulatory agency that they would support rules that would allow a commercial spaceport to be built at any suitable location.

The UK-sponsored spaceport envisioned in the competition was intended to be used to launch both human-carrying flights and commercial satellite missions.

History

The spaceport competition was part of a broader plan announced by the government in April 2014. Earlier references and statements about a UK spaceport, with explicit statements about HTHL spaceplanes, date back at least to 2012.

A site selection process got underway in 2014.  The sites of interest were principally Scottish, such as Campbeltown Airport, Glasgow Prestwick Airport, Kinloss Barracks, RAF Leuchars, RAF Lossiemouth and Stornoway Airport, but they also included Llanbedr Airport in Wales and Newquay Cornwall Airport in England."
The first phase of the evaluation process objective was to develop a shortlist.

Shortlist:  early 2015 
The shortlist was released in March 2015, and only two airfields were ruled out.  In narrowing the field, the overriding imperative of the licensing authorities was to find a location that limits danger and inconvenience to the general public. This led to all five of the short-listed locations being situated in coastal areas.  The government ruled out two airfields in its consultation process: RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss Barracks, in Scotland, due to operational defence reasons. 

The shortlist locations selected were:
 Campbeltown Airport
 Glasgow Prestwick Airport
 Stornoway Airport 
 Newquay Cornwall Airport
 Llanbedr Airport  
 RAF Leuchars was confirmed as a potential temporary facility.

Only five sites remained in the competition as of April 2016.  The RAF Leuchars site had been removed from the shortlist prior to that time.

End of competition:  2016 

The competition was ended in May 2016, prior to the selection of any single spaceport location. Instead, the Department for Transport announced that the regulatory rules would be modified so that "any suitable location" might become a spaceport.

Blériot XXI. The Blériot XXI was an early French aircraft built by Blériot Aéronautique.

Design
The aircraft was a shoulder-wing monoplane powered by a 52 kW (70 hp) Gnome Gamma 7-cylinder rotary engine driving a two-bladed propeller. The pilot and passenger were seated in side-by-side configuration: the control column was centrally mounted and there were two sets of rudder pedals, so that it could be flown from either seat. The shallow section rectangular fuselage tapered to a horizontal knife-edge at the tail, with the elongated triangular horizontal stabiliser mounted in the middle, its covering blending into that of the upper and lower fuselage surface. A semi-elliptical elevator was mounted on the trailing edge, and a triangular balanced rudder was mounted above the rear fuselage. Lateral control was effected by wing-warping, the wires leading to a single inverted V-strut cabane above the fuselage and a similar V strut beneath. Petrol was stored in three tanks: a pair of gravity tanks were located under the top decking in front of the cockpit, pressure-fed from a larger tank under the seats.

The undercarriage was a variant of the well-proved pattern used on the Blériot XI, with the wheels mounted on a trailing arm free to slide up and down and sprung  by bungee cords.  Unlike that of the Blériot XI, the main vertical members terminated in a crossbar below the fuselage rather than one attached to the upper longerons, and it was also braced by a pair of diagonal struts either side, the front pair leading to the front of the upper longerons and forming the front of the raked engine cowling. The tailskid was made of two U-shaped pieces of rattan cane.

A Type XXI was one of the two Blériot designs entered for the 1912 British Military Aeroplane Competition.

Samuel Clegg (born 1814). Samuel Clegg (2 April 1814 – 22 July 1856) was a British civil engineer.

Clegg was the only son of Samuel Clegg. He was employed as an assistant engineer on the Greenwich, Great Western, and Eastern Counties (afterwards the Great Eastern Railway) lines, and as resident engineer on the Southampton and Dorchester Railway in 1844. In 1836, he had made a trigonometrical survey of part of the Algarve Region in Portugal. In 1849, he was appointed professor of civil engineering and architecture at the College for Civil Engineers in Putney, and in the same year lecturer on civil engineering to Royal School of Military Engineering, the latter post he held until his death in 1856. 

In 1855, the British Government sent Clegg to Demerara in British Guiana to report on the sea walls there, and to superintend their restoration. He was author of a treatise on coal gas, 1850. 

Cleg died in Putney, Surrey, 25 July 1856 at age 42. He had a wife and young children. At the time of his death, Clegg was devising a plan for removing all the gas manufactories in London to a location on the Essex shore.

Link-ZA. Link-ZA (also "Link ZA" or "LinkZA") is a tactical data link system used by the South African National Defence Force. It is the data communication component of the "Combat Net Interoperability Standard" (CNIS). Development began in the early 1990s when South Africa acquired a wide variety of high technology defence equipment such as Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets, BAE Hawk lead-in fighter trainers, Valour-class frigates and other weapons systems. Because South Africa was not able to acquire the NATO standard Link-16 system an indigenous system was developed.

Features 
Link-ZA is a multi-platform secure network protocol operating over HF, VHF or UHF radio or satellite link. It uses TDMA and CSMA to establish links and share data with up to 31 active nodes and an unlimited number of passive nodes. Static or dynamic routing tables are supported. Link-ZA node controllers have store and forward capability to transfer data between different radio nets. A node controller can access multiple radios and automatically select the most appropriate link.
