Thermoelectric battery. A thermoelectric battery stores energy when charged by converting heat into chemical energy and produces electricity when discharged. Such systems potentially offer an alternative means of disposing of waste heat from plants that burn fossil fuels and/or nuclear energy.

History 
Thomas Johann Seebeck (1780–1831) discovered the thermoelectric effect in 1821. The symmetrical Peltier effect (Jean Charles Athanse Peltier, 1785–1845) uses an electric current to produce temperature differences. In the middle part of the twentieth century the thermo-electric generator was often used in place of galvanic batteries.

Copper/ammonia 

In 2014 researchers demonstrated a prototype system that uses copper electrodes and ammonia as the electrolyte. The device converted some 29 percent of the battery's chemical energy into electricity.

The ammonia electrolyte is only used as an anolyte (electrolyte surrounding an anode) that reacts with the copper electrode as waste heat warms the ammonia, generating electricity. When the reaction uses up the ammonia or depletes the copper ions in the electrolyte near the cathode the reaction stops.

Waste heat then is used to distill the ammonia from the used anolyte. The ammonia is then added to the cathode chamber. The battery's polarity reverses and the anode becomes the cathode and vice versa.

The system's power density was some maximum power density of 60+-3 1 W m−2(based on a single electrode), with a  maximum energy density of 453 W h m−3 (normalized to the electrolyte volume), substantially higher than that of other liquid-centered thermal-electrics. Power density increased with the number of batteries in the system.

Volatilization of ammonia from the spent anolyte by heating (simulating distillation), and re-addition of this ammonia to the spent catholyte chamber with subsequent operation of this chamber as the anode (to regenerate copper on the other electrode), produced a maximum power density of 60 ± 3 W m−2, with an average discharge energy efficiency of 29% (electrical energy captured versus chemical energy in the starting solutions). An acid added to the catholyte increased power 126 ± 5 W m−2.

Telluride 

Telluride based batteries convert 15 to 20 percent of heat to energy.

Fulvalene diruthenium 
Fulvalene diruthenium promises greater efficiency, but is too expensive for commercial use.

Entwicklung und Erprobung von Leichtflugzeugen. Entwicklung und Erprobung von Leichtflugzeugen (EEL) () is a German aircraft design firm based in Putzbrunn. The company was founded in 1976 by Heiner Neumann and Dieter Reich. It specializes in the design of gliders and motor gliders, provided in the form of plans for amateur construction.

History
Both Neumann and Reich studied aeronautics in the early 1960s while at Technische Universität Berlin. Reich designed the two aircraft marketed by EEL.

The EEL ULF 1, a foot-launched microlift glider that weighs  empty, first flew in November 1977. The EEL ULF 2 is a single-seat motorglider that first flew in October 1993. As a result of his design work on the ULF 2 Reich received the Oskar Ursinus Vereinigung (OUV) Hans-Becker-Prize in June 1997.

Southwyck House. Southwyck House, also known locally as the Barrier Block, is a large housing building on the Somerleyton Estate in Brixton, south London. It was commissioned by Lambeth Council and approved by a planning committee which included future prime minister John Major.

Design

The block is in the Brutalist style and has similarities to Park Hill, Sheffield and Byker Wall, Tyneside. The block has 176 properties in total, consisting of 3 low rise flats and 173 high rise flats.

It was designed in 1968-70 by a team of architects including Magda Borowiecka, and built between 1972-1981.  The building was designed to account for the South Cross Route motorway passing adjacent to the building, and although the motorway plan was scrapped in 1973, the design was kept, including small windows on the wall that would have faced this flyover. Borowiecka said "The motorway would have been 60ft up in the air, so I needed to create a blank wall going up higher than that. It was rather miserable and I had to think of some way to make an interesting building."

History
During construction the block had no name, simply being called the Loughborough Park redevelopment and locally known as 'Brixton Nick' for its resemblance to a prison; proposed names included 'Hillmead' and 'Northcliff'.

Residents of the building suffered from crime including burglary and the use of heroin and crack cocaine, and so alterations were made to the building in the 1990s to improve security. Several of the building's flats were squatted for several years from its completion.

Boston Society of Civil Engineers. The Boston Society of Civil Engineers, now the Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, was established in 1848.  It claims to be the oldest engineering society in the United States by four years, and has over 4,000 members.

According to the ASCE 150th anniversary publication in 2002, the BSCE founding members, including James Laurie, met at the U.S. Hotel in Boston on April 26, 1848, four years before the founding of the ASCEA. Laurie became the first president if the ASCEA, which originally included Architects in its name, in 1852.  From 1855 to 1857, when the American Institute of Architects was formed out of the ASCEA, and until 1867, the organization did little.

In 1867, the ASCEA found its five shares of the New York Central Railroad, which has issued a sufficient amount in dividends for the society to return to business.

Renard Isle. Renard Isle is a man-made island, or confined disposal facility (CDF) in the lower Green Bay, just northeast of the mouth of the Fox River (Wisconsin). Formerly called Kidney Island, it is 55 acres constructed in 1977 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a disposal site for dredged materials taken from the Fox River and Green Bay harbor entrance channel. The dredged material is contaminated with Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) that are known probable carcinogens to humans, as well as large amounts of furans, dioxins, mercury, lead, pentachlorophenol, and hundreds of other persistent toxic chemicals which cause serious health concerns for fish, wildlife, and humans. Many of the chemicals, like mercury and lead, will never break down. Renard Isle hit its designed capacity to hold contaminated materials around 1993.

History 
The lower Fox River in Green Bay, WI became a popular site for paper mills in the late 19th century, which slowly contributed to the bulk of pollution of the Fox River. During the mid 20th century, paper mills producing a PCB containing carbonless copy-paper began contaminating the waters. It is estimated that "between 1957 and 1971, 250,000 pounds of PCBs were released, contaminating 11 million tons of sediment" in and around the Fox River. Since the channel in the lower Fox River and Green Bay harbor entrance needed to be maintained to provide a suitable depth for ship traffic, dredging is done to remove sediment at the bottom. And since that sediment is contaminated with PCBs that do not naturally biodegrade, Renard Isle was constructed to house those dredge spoils. The man-made structure holds approximately 2.7 million cubic yards of contaminated dredgings.

Since 2010, the U.S. Army Corps has spent upwards of $4 million to cap the island and restore it to be suitable for recreational use. The island and its contaminated makeup is currently capped off with clay and covered with clean topsoil.

Current Use 
In 2010, the federal government opened up the project to construct an 850-foot causeway to Renard Isle for bids, and controversy arose when two local companies were denied with their bids of $684,000 and $763,000 to award the job to a Milwaukee firm located within a HUB zone for $2,400,000 instead. Coincidentally, the federal government budgeted $2,500,000 for the project.

Currently, the causeway to connect Renard Isle to the mainland for recreational use has not yet commenced due to a governmental dispute between Brown County and the city of Green Bay over an existing 16 foot wide road which would become a permanent easement to access the causeway. Brown County is pushing for its conversion into a permanent easement, while the city of Green Bay does not want to give up the land due to its location adjacent to Bay Beach Amusement Park.

Agua Negra Pass. The Agua Negra Pass (Spanish: Paso de Agua Negra) is a pass over the Andes mountains which connects Argentina and Chile. The highest point of this pass is at  AMSL.

Agua Negra Tunnel
To improve trade between Chile and Argentina, a 14 km, three-bore vehicular tunnel (two for traffic and one for ventilation) below the pass is planned, which will allow year-round traffic. (The pass is closed for much of the winter.)

In March 2015, Argentina officially approved the project.  It is awaiting ratification from Chile.

In 2018, the bidding contest for the tunnel project between construction companies took place. The whole project was budgeted at 1.5 billion dollars.

Also planned for the deepest part of the tunnel is the Agua Negra Deep Experiment Site (ANDES) (ANDES): an underground laboratory.  Because all currently operating deep underground laboratories are located in the Northern Hemisphere, a Southern Hemisphere site would have some unique benefits: 
 Combined with existing neutrino detectors, a longer baseline would allow more accurate localization of sources in neutrino astronomy, and
 When searching for dark matter, there is expected to be a seasonal variation due to the Earth's motion around the Sun.  But such a signal could also be an error, caused by some subtle seasonal effect.  Confirmation from a location with opposite seasons would rule out such an error.
ANDES is not expected to be ready before 2027.

Failure domain. In computing, a failure domain encompasses a physical or logical section of the computing environment that is negatively affected when a critical device or service experiences problems. To put it another way, failure domains are regions or components of infrastructure that could fail. Each has its own risks and challenges to architect for.  

The size of a failure domain and its potential impact depends on the device or service that is malfunctioning. For example, a router potentially experiencing problems would generally create a more significant failure domain than a network switch would. Smaller failure domains reduce the risk of disruption over a large section of a network, and eases the troubleshooting process. 

Redundancy within failure domains is a key approach to help mitigate the risks of failure. For example, technologies like RAID helps mitigate the risks of drive failure by creating multiple data copies. Replication helps to mitigate the risks of server or storage array failure.

Algorithms-Aided Design. Algorithms-Aided Design (AAD) is the use of specific algorithms-editors to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. The algorithms-editors are usually integrated with 3D modeling packages and read several programming languages, both scripted or visual (RhinoScript, Grasshopper, MEL, C#, Python). The Algorithms-Aided Design allows designers to overcome the limitations of traditional CAD software and 3D computer graphics software, reaching a level of complexity which is beyond the human possibility to interact with digital objects. The acronym appears for the first time in the book AAD Algorithms-Aided Design, Parametric Strategies using Grasshopper, published by Arturo Tedeschi in 2014.

Electro sinter forging. Electro sinter forging (ESF) is  an industrial single electromagnetic pulse sintering technique to rapidly produce a wide range of small components in metals, alloys, intermetallics, semiconductors, and composites. ESF was invented by Alessandro Fais, an Italian metallurgical engineer and scientist.

ESF is obtained by inserting loose, binder-less powders into the automatic dosing system, or manually inserted in the mold. The automatic procedure applies a pre-pressure onto the powders to ensure electrical contact; hence, it superimposes an intense electromagnetic pulse with a mechanical pulse. The two pulses last 30 to 100 ms. After a brief holding time, the sintered component is extracted by the lower plunger and pushed out by the extractor to leave room for the next sintering. Each sintering round lasts less than one second, and is carried out entirely in air (even with pyrophoric materials).
