VIPER microprocessor. VIPER is a 32-bit microprocessor design created by Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (RSRE) in the 1980s, intended to be used in safety-critical systems such as avionics.  It was the first commercial microprocessor design to be formally proven correct, although there was some controversy surrounding this claim and the definition of proof.

The design was completed in 1987 and implemented initially by RSRE in a gate array. Marconi Electronics subsequently licensed the design, implementing it as the MAS1908 VIPER-1, fabricated using CMOS and silicon-on-sapphire technologies, being packaged as a 120-pin grid array product.

Architecturally, VIPER is a 32-bit processor supporting 20-bit word-oriented addressing of memory and of "I/O space" (and thus 4 megabytes of each). Although employing a uniform instruction layout suggestive of RISC architectures, instruction execution times vary from 6 to 26 clock cycles, in contrast to a throughput of one instruction per cycle sought by conventional RISC architectures.

A safety critical programming language named Newspeak was designed by Ian Currie of RSRE in 1984 for use with VIPER. Its principal characteristic was that all exceptional behaviour in programs must be dealt with at compile time.

Arc Trainer. The Arc Trainer is a stationary, non-impact exercise machine, and is a registered trademark of Cybex International, Inc. The Arc Trainer is manufactured in Owatonna, MN.

First introduced in 2003, the Arc Trainer’s footplates move in an arcuate path of motion, as opposed to the elliptical pattern seen in elliptical trainers. The arc pattern of motion is a patented technology, designed to generate force only when the user is in the load-bearing phase of the gait cycle.  This generates forces in the legs which balance the loading between the hip and knee joints. The result of this balanced loading design creates less stress on the knee joint and allows higher muscle training effect with lower perceived exertion.

Like an elliptical trainer, the Arc Trainer is considered to be an example of a weight-bearing form of exercise that is linked to prevention of osteoporosis. It is comparable to a treadmill in its ability to induce heart muscle activity, but reduces the impact shock typically associated with treadmill running.

The Arc Trainer is adjustable for incline and resistance and has a variable stride rate. Resistance settings are proportional to body-weight, such that the same amount of relative work is performed by a 110 lb female and a 250 lb male when the same resistance level is selected. Researchers found that healthy men burn about 10.8 calories per minute while working on the Arc Trainer, compared to about 9.3 calories per minute while on an elliptical. There are two versions of the Arc Trainer, a lower body version and a total body version. The Total Body Arc Trainer uses a same side forward pattern of motion where the arm and leg on the same side move together. This movement pattern allows the user to transfer work to their upper body without simultaneously increasing the work rate of the legs.

Diagnostic Enterprise Method. The diagnostic enterprise method is a management theory based on Frederick Winslow Taylor's principles, focusing on developing ways in which companies can change their internal structure without outside help.

Method

Taylor's method 
Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856–1915) has been considered the father of scientific management. The methods Taylor developed began with his experiments counting the amount of time it took for a machine to produce an object, which he began when the economy and the efficiency of the enterprise were substandard. Taylor established four principles to increase efficiency at the workplace:

 The first principle is to analyze the way in which every worker performs their assigned task to improvise a new plan of activities.
 The second principle consists of making a new method into a written rule to be used as a standard for working.
 The third principle is to choose the workers who have the necessary abilities and who can be trained to follow the standard rules.
 The fourth principle is to create a common goal between the workers and establish a pay system to reward the ones above the common goal.

Derivatives of Taylor's method

Systematic method 
Labor analysis came from the prior techniques of Frederick Taylor. The main difference is that this technique focuses on how a job position is developed in order to work with precise instructions. As managers, they should identify and understand their workers to improve their abilities inside the enterprise.

The short facts method begins with a case no longer than four paragraphs in which a simple problem is described. Later on, the case is analyzed by the group of employees and managers of the enterprise. After that, the group starts a discussion to find the possible solutions.

The strategic analysis method is based on the subsystems. In this method, the managers decide what they want as an enterprise to be accomplished. This step also includes the guide. Later, people create specific goals for the enterprise that are measurable. Finally, the managers create a strategy plan based on the steps before.

Harvard's method 
The Harvard method was developed by the Harvard Business School and is used in the Management Business Academy course. The enterprises created their own case with the information of their company so every employee can understand the problems.

The MIT method is influenced by the Harvard method but changed for engineers. For the session, they need to already do an analysis and a possible solution to compare it with the group. At the end of the session, the instructor tells the group the 'nearest correct solution', and then they give the intended solution. The people in the group have individual research about the case given after the group session.

Next Generation Missile. The Next Generation Missile (NGM), formerly the Joint Dual Role Air Dominance Missile (JDRADM), was a proposed Beyond-visual-range (BVR) air-to-air missile (AAM) capable of all-weather day and night performance, to replace the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AGM-88 HARM.  It was proposed to be cancelled in the Obama Administration's 2013 budget request.  A parallel project, the T-3 (Triple Target Terminator) program has continued.  The T-3 missile is aimed at three major targets — enemy aircraft, cruise missiles and air defence networks.

E. C. Williams. E. C. Williams was the first Ramsay Memorial Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London, as well as the first in the United Kingdom being appointed in 1923.

Career
Williams previously worked for the University of Manchester, British Dyestuffs Corporation,  as a research chemist to the joint committee of the University of Leeds and the National Benzol Board,  before he was appointed as the first Ramsay professor of chemical engineering at University College London in 1923.

While at University College London, Williams stated that the due to the development of chemical plant, 

"chemical expertise was becoming even more important for the engineers building the plant than for the industrial chemist's who used it, hence the fusion of the sciences".

Williams handed in his resignation in 1927 before being replaced by W.E. Gibbs in 1928.  Prior to his departure from University College London, he had engaged with British chemical companies and convinced them to make donations which allowed for the chemical engineering department to be increased in size. 

After leaving University College London, he became Vice President in Charge of Research for Shell at their research laboratory in Berkeley, California. While at Shell, he reported to the United States National Resources board in 1940.

After leaving Shell, Williams worked as head of research at General Mills, became a director of Standard Oil Company, before being technical director at General Dyestuffs Corporation.

Awards
Williams was given the seventh William H. Walker Award by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 1942 for his work on the production of synthetic glycerol, which he had reported in the 1939 Transactions of the institute.
