CMF design. Color, Materials, Finish (CMF) is an area of industrial design that focuses on the chromatic, tactile and decorative identity of products and environments.

Characteristics 
CMF design uses metadesign logic, the simultaneous planning of the identity of  entire ranges of products for a given brand. This makes it possible, for example, to adopt a single color matrix, instead of using a series of separate and different color cards for each line of products, as previously done. A contribution to the development of this approach to design was the impetus provided by the proliferation in the 1980s of complete ranges of new systemic products.

Brand products are often thought up by different designers who through the use of ad-hoc CMF design manuals can work together to ensure a unique but coordinated identity for the products. This working process is advantageous in terms of the choice of color base for systemic products that are either of heterogeneous origin or are considered OEM products.  The latter, even if characterized by different forms, can be connoted with the base colors or materials that are representative of the brand due to CMF design. Since CMF design manuals and the color matrix have a prescriptive role, the designers who create them are rarely involved in the applicative distribution either of colors, materials or finishes of individual products.

Teratorn Aircraft. Teratorn Aircraft, Inc. (named for the extinct ice age soaring bird) was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Clear Lake, Iowa. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of kits for amateur construction and ready-to-fly aircraft under the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.

The company was formed as Motorized Gliders of Iowa, Inc. in 1976 and located in a  production facility. The company first produced the weight-shift Teratorn Aircraft Teratorn and the follow-up Teratorn T/A single seat ultralight motorglider designs. In 1983 it introduced the Tierra and Tierra II.

After Teratorn went out of business in about 1989, Golden Circle Air of De Soto, Iowa took up production of Terratorn's designs. Golden Circle Air went out of business in circa 2006, the designs were acquired by Bret Kivell's Indy Aircraft and put back into production from 2011 to 2021. In 2021, Matt Shubat incorporated Tbird Aircraft, LLC, and acquired the T-Bird rights and assets of Indy Aircraft. The company offers kits and parts for the T-Bird I and II, refurbishes old aircraft and are developing a new FAR Part 103 uktralight, the Tbird TU.

Terratorn's Tierra and Tierra II designs have a reputation for structural strength and robustness in service. Though slow compared to other aircraft of comparable weight and power, they are reportedly comparatively "docile" and "predictable" with excellent short-field capability, and an unusually roomy cabin and good visibility.  More than 4000 have been completed and flown.

William C. Kingsley. William C. Kingsley (c. 1833–1885) was an American construction contractor who is best known for being one of the main figures involved in the creation of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Career
Kingsley settled in Brooklyn in 1856 and worked as a contractor for the Brooklyn water works. He soon entered into partnership with Abner Chase Keeney (1826-1884), a civil engineer and contractor. In subsequent years, their construction firm, Kingsley & Keeney, was given large contracts to build Prospect Park, the stone wall around Central Park, sewerages for Brooklyn and Manhattan, and the Hempstead Reservoir. But undoubtedly, Kingsley & Keeney's greatest project was the Brooklyn Bridge. 
By the mid-1860s, Kingsley was convinced that a bridge between New York City and Brooklyn was feasible and, perhaps most importantly, would benefit Kingsley & Keeney. Kingsley became the driving force behind that project, hiring Colonel Julius Walker Adams, a civil engineer who had worked with him on the Brooklyn sewers, to come up with a design and to prepare cost estimates. However, although Adams had previously dabbled in bridge designs and had many influential friends, he had never built a bridge of any consequence. His role was to come with a lowball estimate of the cost of the bridge, allowing Kingsley and its other promoters to gain the necessary approvals from public officials. Adams concluded that the Brooklyn Bridge could be built for $5,000,000; ultimately it would be built by John and Washington Roebling for three times that amount.

When the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Company was organized in 1867, Kingsley became one of its major shareholders. Soon, he was named its superintendent, and a motion, proposed by none other than Boss Tweed and passed by the other trustees, authorized payment to Kingsley & Keeney of 15% of all construction costs. This was an unheard-of percentage for such a large contract; in 1870 alone, it amounted to $175,000. In 1873, after Tweed had fallen from power, Kingsley & Keeney's contract with the Bridge Company was renegotiated, and its payment was slashed to the much smaller flat fee of $10,000 (equal to about $300,000 in 2023) per year.

In 1875, Kingsley joined the board of trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge, and succeeded Henry Cruse Murphy as president of the board in 1882, upon Murphy's death; he held that position on May 24, 1883, the day that the Brooklyn Bridge opened. After his death, Kingsley was succeeded as trustee by Seth Lee Keeney (1831-1913), a building contractor and the brother of Kingsley's late partner.

Memorial
William C. Kingsley is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. His monument was cut from granite stone that was once a part of the Brooklyn Bridge and was placed there by the bridge's Board of Trustees to honor his role in making the dream of a bridge between the great Cities of New York and Brooklyn a reality.

Potez 38. The Potez 38 was a French single engine, eight or nine seat passenger aircraft flown in 1930. Only one was built.

Design and development

The Potez 38 was a monoplane with high wings built around wooden box spars, spruce ribs and with fabric covering. In plan the wings were rectangular out to rounded tips and they were braced to the lower fuselage longerons with streamlined V-form struts on each side. There was 3° of dihedral.

The rectangular section fuselage was built in three parts, all with tubular metal structures though of different geometries.  The front and rear sections were metal covered but the central section containing the cabin was covered in plywood. The forward section contained a  Hispano-Suiza 12Lbr water cooled V-12 engine, driving a two bladed propeller and with its radiator near the rear of the engine on the fuselage underside. There were two  fuel tanks, one in each wing, and an oil tank aft of the engine fire-wall. The cockpit had low profile glazing with a windscreen of V-plan and side-by-side seating.  The Potez 38 was normally flown from the lefthand seat but dual control could be added to the other.  The cabin had a volume of  and contained eight or nine seats and a toilet and baggage compartment. It was lit by a long, continuous window on each side and accessed by port and starboard doors at the back.  The rear section of the fuselage carried a conventional tail which was wood framed and ply covered.  The fin was triangular and mounted a balanced, curved edge rudder which reached down to the keel. The straight edged tailplane, strut braced to the lower fuselage, was mounted on the fin just above its base. Inset elevators gave its trailing edge an elliptical shape.

The Potez 38 had a conventional tail-skid undercarriage, fitted with brakes.  Its main wheels were on legs mounted near the wing root just behind the leading edge, containing rubber shock absorbers and spread outwards to provide a wide track. The axles were each hinged to the lower fuselage on  V-struts with one end further forward and one in line with the legs.

The Potez 38 first flew in late 1929 or 1930.  By the end of November 1930 it had successfully completed its acceptance trials. During these it achieved a speed of   After that there are few, if any, records of its activity.

Golden Circle Air. Golden Circle Air, Inc. was an American aircraft manufacturer based in De Soto, Iowa. The company specialized in the manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of kits for amateur construction and ready-to-fly aircraft under the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.

The company put the Teratorn Tierra series of aircraft designs back into production as the Golden Circle Air T-Bird, after Teratorn Aircraft of Clear Lake, Iowa went out of business in 1989. Golden Circle further developed the design from the original single seat Tierra and the two seats in side-by-side configuration Tierra II into the three seat T-Bird III and the T-Bird Tandem TBT06 tandem-seat ultralight.

After Golden Circle Air went out of business in circa 2006 the T-Bird aircraft designs were acquired by Indy Aircraft of Independence, Iowa and put back into production from 2011 to 2021.

In 2021, Tbird Aircraft acquired the T-Bird rights and the assets of Indy Aircraft. The new company sells kits and parts for the T-Bird I and II, refurbishes old aircraft and are developing a new design, the Tbird TU, which will conform with FAR Part 103 requirements.

Indy Aircraft. Indy Aircraft Limited was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Independence, Iowa. The company specialized in the manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of kits for amateur construction.

The company traced its lineage to Teratorn Aircraft, which was formed in 1976 in Clear Lake, Iowa, and which introduced the Teratorn Tierra and Teratorn Tierra II aircraft designs in 1983. When Teratorn went out of business in about 1989, the Tierra designs were put back into production by Golden Circle Air of De Soto, Iowa, as the Golden Circle Air T-Bird line. Golden Circle Air went out of business in about 2006, and Indy Aircraft was formed to provide parts for the existing fleet. In 2011 the company restored the T-Bird and T-Bird II to production. More than 1500 Tierra/T-Bird Is and 2500 Tierra II/T-Bird IIs have been constructed by all manufacturers of the types in total.

Indy Aircraft put the T-Bird I and T-Bird II back into production, but not the Golden Circle Air three-seat T-Bird III or the tandem-seat T-Bird Tandem TBT06. At one time the company indicated it had plans to have its aircraft approved for the American light-sport aircraft category, but as of April 2017, neither of its types had been accepted by the US Federal Aviation Administration as Special Light-Sport Aircraft.

The company's website was taken down some time after September 2021 and the company seems to have gone out of business. 

In 2021, Matt Shubat incorporated Tbird Aircraft, LLC, and subsequently acquired the T-Bird rights and resources of Indy Aircraft. The new company offers new kits and parts for the T-Bird I and II, refurbishing of old kits, and are developing a new design, the Tbird TU, to conform to FAR Part 103 requirements.

Resilience (materials science). In material science, resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading. Proof resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed up to the elastic limit, without creating a permanent distortion. The modulus of resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed per unit volume without creating a permanent distortion. It can be calculated by integrating the stress–strain curve from zero to the elastic limit. In uniaxial tension, under the assumptions of linear elasticity,

where Ur is the modulus of resilience, σy is the yield strength, εy is the yield strain, and E is the Young's modulus. This analysis is not valid for non-linear elastic materials like rubber, for which the approach of area under the curve until elastic limit must be used.

Unit of resilience
Modulus of resilience (Ur) is measured in a unit of joule per cubic meter (J·m−3) in the SI system, i.e. elastical deformation energy per surface of test specimen (merely for gauge-length part).

Like the unit of tensile toughness (UT), the unit of resilience can be easily calculated by using area underneath the stress–strain (σ–ε) curve, which gives resilience value, as given below:

Ur = Area underneath the stress–strain (σ–ε) curve up to yield = σ × ε
Ur [=] Pa × % = (N·m−2)·(unitless)
Ur [=] N·m·m−3
Ur [=] J·m−3

Jürgen P. Rabe. Jürgen P. Rabe is a German physicist and nanoscientist.

Life 
Jürgen P. Rabe studied physics and mathematics at RWTH Aachen where in 1981 he obtained his diploma in physics, based on a thesis on semiconductor optics with Peter Grosse. 1984 he obtained his doctoral degree from the Department of Physics at the Technische Universität München, based on a biophysical thesis on model membranes, promoted by Erich Sackmann.

As a visiting scientist at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San José (1984–1986) he initiated the use of scanning tunneling microscopy for molecular monolayers, which he continued in Gerhard Wegner’s department at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research.

In 1992 he obtained his habilitation on this topic and became a professor for physical chemistry at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz. Since 1994 Rabe is full professor for experimental physics with an emphasis on macromolecular and supramolecular systems at the Department of Physics at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Rabe is an elected scientific member of the Max Planck Society and external member of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam-Golm as well as founding director of the Integrative Research Institute for the Sciences IRIS Adlershof of Humboldt-Universität. He was visiting professor at the Materials Department of ETH Zürich and for the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University.

Jürgen P. Rabe is the brother of Klaus F. Rabe and cousin of Sophia Rabe-Hesketh and the economist Birgitta Rabe.

Research 

Rabe became internationally known for his seminal scanning tunneling microscopy research on the structure, dynamics, and electronic properties of self-assembled molecular systems at solid-liquid interfaces. He developed concepts for a workbench to manipulate individual macromolecules and supramolecular systems, employing scanning probe microscopies, light, and molecularly modified graphite surfaces, which has been used to correlate structure and dynamics of molecular systems with mechanical, electronic, optical, and (bio)chemical properties from molecular to macromolecular lengths and time scales.  It also led to the development of prototypical quasi 1- and 2- dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid systems, based on opto-electronically active molecular or graphene-based nanopores. In collaborative and interdisciplinary projects Rabe contributed to the development of advanced functional materials, including dendronized and conjugated polymers, multivalent biopolymer complexes, ultrathin films of conjugated molecules, supramolecular polymers and helical nanofilaments, nanographenes, and 2D materials as well as mixed 2D/3D heterostructures.
