1935 in American television. This is a list of American television-related events in 1935.

Events
February - In a February 1935 legal decision, the inventor Philo Farnsworth is vindicated, successfully facing the patent interference suit brought against him by RCA in 1934. Farnsworth's high school chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, produced a 1922 sketch as evidence that Farnsworth had been working on the principle of the image dissector and the development of an electronic television system since the early 1920s. Farnsworth won the suit; RCA appealed the decision in 1936 and lost. Farnsworth received royalties from RCA, but he never became wealthy. 
September 18 - In a memorandum dated September 18, 1935, the Blue Network subsidiary of NBC complained about its lack of access to broadcasts of the World Series. The report was followed by a letter dated October 5, 1935, in which Hearst Radio complained that Amos 'n' Andy and the Al Pearce programs had been moved from the Blue Network to the Red Network. Hearst further complained about the weakness of the Blue Network's programming at the time. 
 Specific date unknown - 
In 1935, tests for a 343-line television system started from New York City (W2XF on the Empire State Building), where NBC had converted a radio studio in the Rockefeller Center for television use. 343-line broadcasts were officially introduced by RCA and NBC on November 6, 1936.Systems with this number of lines were used with 30 interlaced frames per second by the United States from 1935 to 1938, when they were replaced by a 441-line television system.
In 1935, the Red Network subdidiary of NBC started live remote broadcasts of popular music. From 1935 to 1950, it presented numerous live remote broadcasts of popular music from ballrooms, hotels, supper clubs and Army camps. Among the band leaders with regular time slots on NBC were Carmen Cavallaro, Nat King Cole, Xavier Cugat, Tommy Dorsey, Eddy Duchin, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Guy Lombardo, Glenn Miller, Leo Reisman, and Paul Whiteman.

Schenck ene reaction. The Schenck ene reaction or the Schenk reaction is the reaction of singlet oxygen with alkenes to yield hydroperoxides. The hydroperoxides can be reduced to allylic alcohols or eliminate to form unsaturated carbonyl compounds. It is a type II photooxygenation reaction, and is discovered in 1944 by Günther Otto Schenck. Its results are similar to ene reactions, hence its name.

Reaction conditions
The singlet oxygen reagent can be produced via photochemical activation of triplet oxygen (regular oxygen) in the presence of photosensitizers like rose bengal. Chemical processes like the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite are also viable.

Mechanism and selectivity
Historically, four mechanisms have been proposed:
Experimental and computational studies show that the reaction actually proceeds via a two step no intermediate process. One can loosely interpret it as a mix of the perepoxide mechanism and the concerted mechanism. There is no perepoxide intermediate as in the classical sense of reaction intermediates, for there exists no energy barrier between it and the hydroperoxide product.

Such a mechanism can account for the selectivity of the Schenck ene reaction. The singlet oxygen is more likely to abstract hydrogen from the side with more C-H bonds due to favorable interactions in the transition state:
Very bulky groups, like the tertiary butyl group, will hinder hydrogen abstraction on that side.

Applications
The Schenck ene reaction is utilized in the biological and biomimetic synthesis of rhodonoids, yield

Many hydroperoxides derived from fatty acids, steroids, and terpenes are also formed via the Schenck ene reaction. For instance, the generation of cis-3-hexenal from linolenic acid:  
It must be noted, however, that this enzyme catalyzed path follows a different mechanism from the usual Schenck ene reaction. Radicals are involved, and triplet oxygen is used instead of singlet oxygen.

Siemens locomotive of 1879. The Siemens locomotive of 1879 was the first electric passenger train. It was first presented at the Berlin Trade Exhibition 1879 by Werner von Siemens and transported exhibition visitors on an oval track.

History 
Werner von Siemens, ennobled in 1888, developed an electric generator, based on the dynamo-electric principle, which he patented in 1866. On January 17, 1867, he gave a lecture before the Berlin Academy of Sciences, in which he provided the first scientific description of the dynamo-electric principle. Based on these foundations, electric motors were built, initially used in stationary applications.

Siemens then tried to use the electric motor in vehicles and had his designer Hemming Wesslau design an electric locomotive for the Senftenberger Stadtgrube Marie III. However, the proposed design from July 1878, which aimed to drive the locomotive with two rubber discs on an iron band in the center, and subsequent adjustments did not convince the mine owner Carl Westphal. He doubted the reliability, was concerned about the investment costs, and could not reach an agreement with Siemens. No locomotive was built from these initial designs.

Siemens had the design of his electric locomotive further revised. Now the axles were driven via a gear transmission, and the iron band was used for power transmission. Based on a design from October 1878, a locomotive was built to be presented to the public at the Berlin Trade Exhibition 1879. This exhibition took place on the ULAP site at the Lehrter Bahnhof. A circular track about 300 meters long was built in the machine hall near the entrance. The small locomotive had three open passenger cars, each for six people. At the exhibition opening, Werner Siemens personally presented his development on May 31, 1879.

The electric railway was a highlight and a major attraction during the four-month-long Berlin Trade Exhibition. By September 30, 1879, a total of 86,398 people had been transported at a speed of 7 km/h.

The locomotive was operated with a direct current of 150 V. The electrical energy was transmitted via the two rails and an insulated iron band positioned in between. It had a rotor mounted along the longitudinal axis and side-mounted excitation coils. The track had a track gauge of 490 mm.

In the following years, this electric exhibition railway was also demonstrated in other cities. Interest was so great that Siemens had to build several similar railways. Exhibition locations included Brussels (for the 50th anniversary of Belgian independence in the Parc du Cinquantenaire 1880), London Sydenham (Crystal Palace 1880), Frankfurt am Main (General Patent and Sample Protection Exhibition in the Palmengarten 1881), Copenhagen (Tivoli Park 1882), and Moscow (All-Russian Industrial and Handicraft Exhibition 1882).

An original preserved locomotive is part of the collection at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The German Museum of Technology in Berlin has a replica of the locomotive on display.

EtherealX. Ethereal Exploration Guild Private Limited is an Indian startup based in Bengaluru developing fully reusable vertical landing medium-lift space launch system at reduced cost and cut launch timeframes. Founded in 2022, the company is currently developing India's largest private rocket engine facility in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The launch vehicle 'Razor Crest Mk-1' will be able deliver up to eight-tonnes to low earth in fully reusable configuration.

Overview
The startup was founded by Manu J Nair (Chief Executive Officer) who was briefly a part of the Gaganyaan, the crewed spaceflight program of the Indian space agency, Shubhayu Sardar (Chief Operations Officer) a former ISRO engineer and graduate of Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology and Prashanth Sharma (Chief Technology Officer) an aerospace engineer. It has raised  million seed funding.

Razor Crest
The mark-one variant of the launch system features an absolute reusable configuration in which both the booster and the upper stage are recoverable. The recovery of the upper stage comes with a crucial issue of fending off reentry heat, the startup intends to develop a new rocket engine cycle along with a deployment system to redirect the heat built up throughout the reentry phase. This will allow the system to operate efficiently in both atmosphere and vacuum. Thereby the launch system will be able to achieve pinpoint landing compared to the larger target landing zones in the case of traditional ballistic reentry.

The rocket will be capable of launching up to 8 tonnes to low earth in fully reusable configuration and almost 24.8 tonnes to low earth in an expendable configuration.

EtherealX Stallion
Once developed, the 'Stallion' as claimed will be the most powerful operational liquid rocket engine outside North America. Powered by RP1/LOX propellent, it will be able to produce a peak thrust of 925 kN. It features gas generator feed cycle and will have a peak specific impulse of 295 seconds at sea level and 330 seconds in a vacuum. 'Razor Crust Mk-1' will house nine of this engine.

Specific date unknown:
 The inventor William Ensign Lincoln invented the definitive version of the zoetrope in 1865, when he was about 18 years old and a sophomore at the Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Lincoln's patented version had the viewing slits on a level above the pictures, which allowed the use of easily replaceable strips of images. It also had an illustrated paper disc on the base, which was not always exploited on the commercially produced versions. On the advice of a local bookstore owner, Lincoln had sent a model to the board game manufacturing company Milton Bradley and Co. in an attempt to market the animation device.
In 1865, Edmund Johann Krüss, representing the optical equipment company Krüss Optronic, received a patent for his version of the magic lantern. The device was a forerunner of movie projectors.
Around 1865, a disc with nine oval photographic images of Jan Evangelista Purkyně (1787–1869) turning around was probably created by the physiologist himself. Purkyně reportedly used the disc to entertain his grandchildren and show them how he, an old professor, could turn around at great speed.
Around 1865, the Cycloidotrope was introduced. It was a slide with an adjustable stylus bar for drawing geometric patterns on sooty glass when hand-cranked during the projection. The patterns are similar to that produced with a Spirograph.

X64dbg. x64dbg is a free and open-source debugging software available on Windows-based systems. It is used to analyze 64-bit executable files, while its counterpart, x32dbg, is used to analyze 32-bit executable files. Debugging is a process of looking into executable files translated into low-level assembly code, allowing the user of the debugger to see what is going on inside of an application; even if it is not open source. This is called reverse engineering. It is very similar and often interchangeable with other debugging software. x64dbg is one of the most popular debugging software programs.

Features & usage 
The GUI of x64dbg is very overwhelming and cramped at first sight. The ribbon at the top of the screen includes all of the main tabs for the software, and allows you to navigate between different screens. x64dbg also supports plugins.

The CPU tab is the tab you will most frequently use. It contains the assembly code of the file you dragged in. You are able to insert breakpoints labelled as grey circles to the left of the assembly code. These are important for when you execute the file you are examining, and you want the code to pause at a certain section. To the right of this, you are able to see your FPU Registers which store data of the file you dragged in. Debuggers automatically generate their own variable names for variables referenced in the assembly code itself, and you can view the values of these variables here.

At the bottom of the GUI, you can see a dump section which stores memory of the currently running process.

You can view other tabs by clicking different sections of the ribbon, or you can alternatively click on the "View" tab at the top which brings a dropdown listing every other tab. These tabs include; CPU, Log, Notes, Breakpoints, Memory Map, Call Stack, SEH Chain (Structured Exception Handling), Script, Symbols, Modules, Source, References, Threads, Handles, Graph, and Trace.

Patches 
Patches are a way of allowing you to make modifications to the code, they let you save the code as a new file. This is often used when you want to make permanent changes to a file.
