DIN EN ISO 9712. DIN EN ISO 9712:2012 is a certification issued by the German institute for standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung). It certifies personnel working in Non-destructive testing. This standard evaluates and documents the competence of personnel whose tasks require knowledge of non-destructive tests. The certification process is performed by authorized independent certification bodies, such as Sector Cert, DQS, TÜV, DEKRA etc. They can be applied at the German accreditation body (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH, DAkkS).

Certification process 
To be accepted for the certification exam, applicants have to:

 visit a course 
 provide a proof of good eyesight
 fulfill the required practical experience in non-destructive testing

After the exam has been successfully passed and the full industry experience can be proved, the certificate itself can be applied for. The certification stays valid for five years and has to be renewed. While this only includes a new application form, recertification after ten years consists of a further examination.

Replacement of DIN EN 473 and DIN EN ISO 9712 
DIN EN ISO 9712:2012 was introduced in January 2013. DIN EN 473, as well as the former version of DIN EN ISO 9712 (DIN EN ISO 9712:2005), were replaced. Despite many similarities, the new version of DIN EN ISO 9712 contains numerous alterations:

For example, the updated standard consists of new testing methods, such as infrared thermography or testing with strain gauges.
The required practical experience in non-destructive testing before certification has also been introduced with the new ISO 9712. 
Furthermore, written electronic tests can be taken online now.

Albatros L.71. The Albatros L.71 was a two-seat, single pusher engined biplane built in Germany in the 1920s.

Design and development

Flight described the L.71 as a flying boat on wheels because, in the 1920s, such aircraft were almost the only modern pusher biplanes. Visually, the most unusual feature was the extreme stagger, introduced to optimise the view for each of the occupants of its tandem cockpits.  Both wings had spruce spars, continuous from tip to tip, and spruce ribs. The larger upper wing had no dihedral but carried the ailerons; the lower wing had 1.5° of dihedral. Outward leaning, aluminium tube N-form interplane struts braced the wings but there was none of the usual flying wire bracing in the single bay; the wings were aerodynamically quite thick, allowing them to be internally braced cantilevers. The upper wing centre section was supported by a shorter pair of outward leaning N struts from the upper fuselage. Though the lower plane was set at mid-fuselage the interplane gap was large, to provide clearance for the two blade propeller.

The pusher configuration  Siemens-Halske Sh 10 five cylinder radial was aerodynamically faired into the upper wing trailing edge but was not structurally connected to it; instead, four tubes from the fuselage formed the engine mounting. The fuel tank was within the forward section of the upper wing, feeding the engine by gravity with some pressure assistance. The fuselage was of mixed construction. From the nose to the lower wing leading edge, a region which included the two cockpits, it was a flat sided wooden structure, covered in plywood; aft, it was built from wire braced, welded steel tubes and fabric covering. This section included the lower wing mounting. The tail surfaces were fabric covered, over mixed steel and duraluminum frames. The incidence of the tailplane could be adjusted for pitch trimming.  The L.71 had a simple, fixed conventional undercarriage with short axles hinged to the lower fuselage longerons and forward braced with short horizontal struts. Sprung, telescopic legs with rubber shock absorbers were attached to the outer end of the axles and to the upper fuselage longerons.

The L.71 was flight testing by late January 1926. Two were built.

Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.10. The Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.10 (Farman Experimental No. 10) was an aircraft designed by John Kenworthy, Henry P. Folland, and Maj. Frank W. Goodden in June 1916. The design placed the pilot and a machine gun in front of the aircraft's propeller, which was in a nacelle braced between the undercarriage and the upper wing. It was to have been powered by a  Hispano-Suiza 8 engine, placed between the wings.

Mini Lisa. The Mini Lisa is a nanoscale replica of the Mona Lisa.  It was created in 2013 by Keith Carroll, a Georgia Institute of Technology PhD candidate, in order to demonstrate a technique called thermochemical nanolithography (TCNL) that was invented at the university.  In TCNL, a tiny cantilever viewed through an atomic force microscope uses heat to activate a series of chemical reactions that create new molecules.  Greater amounts of heat create more molecules which lighten the surface of the substrate, allowing a grayscale image to be created.

The Mini Lisa is just  wide, about a third the width of a human hair.  It is roughly 1/25,000th the size of the Mona Lisa.  The Mini Lisa was created by making hundreds of individual points each  wide. Carroll decided to recreate the Mona Lisa after a challenger claimed TCNL was not precise enough to create a work of art.  He created an automated process to create any image desired based on a supplied heat map.

The Mini Lisa project, which also included recreations of photographs by Ansel Adams, was published in Langmuir in August 2013.  The paper's lead author, physicist Jennifer Curtis, said the experiment demonstrated for the first time that it was possible not only to manipulate molecules on a nano-scale, but also precisely control how many are there.  She said that TCNL "should enable a wide range of previously inaccessible experiments" in a diverse set of fields as it evolves.  The project also received mention in the popular press.

Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów. Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów (; ) is a Polish defense manufacturing company. Based in the city of Tarnów, the company produces handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles and anti-air guns. It is part of the Bumar-Labedy corporation, itself a division of the state-controlled Polish Armaments Group.

History
Initially founded during World War I in 1917 as a local train repair workshop, in the interwar period the company was part of the Polish State Railways. After the company's equipment was confiscated, dismantled and sent to Germany during World War II, the factory was rebuilt as a train repair workshop, but in 1951 it was turned into a defence contractor producing guns, firearms and machine tools.

Warsaw Pact years
From 1951 the company license-built M1939 37 mm automatic air defense guns and Nudelman N-37 aircraft cannons used in LiM-2 and MiG-17 fighters.

While Poland was still in the Warsaw Pact, other types of Soviet-designed military equipment were also introduced: 57 mm AZP S-60 and ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns, 2M-3M naval cannons, armament for the 2S1 Gvozdika SP howitzer, DShK, NSV and KPV heavy machine guns, as well as domestic designs. The latter group included ZU-23-2M Wróbel universal naval gun and its successor, the artillery-rocket set ZU-23-2MR Wróbel II.

Independence and NATO years
After 1989 the company switched entirely to home-designed weapons. Those include Pallad grenade launcher, RGP-40 grenade launcher, UKM-2000 MG, LMP-2017 mortar, WKW Wilk sniper rifle, Bor rifle and ZSMU-36 missile and anti-missile system. Among projects currently developed in the Tarnów Mechanical Works are the WLKM-12 Szafir 12.7 mm multi-barrel machine gun, ZSMU-70 missile system and GA-40 belt-fed grenade launcher.

In 2012, the company merged with R&D Centre "Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Sprzętu Mechanicznego sp. z o.o.".

In 2015, ZMT SA became a member of Polish Armaments Group, which concentrate over 60 armament sector companies.

Stahlwerk-Mark R.V. The Stahlwerk-Mark R.V, sometimes known as the Stahlwerk-Mark R.V/23 to indicate its year of production, was a small German airliner able to carry three passengers.  Two were built.

Design and development

The R.V was the Rieseler brother's first multiple passenger aircraft, a single engine parasol wing cabin design.  The wing was in two parts, each with two wooden spars and ribs.  Though the wings had quite thick, high lift  airfoil sections, they were not cantilever structures and wing loads were transmitted to the fuselage via N form struts from the lower fuselage longerons to the wing spars, their outer, parallel members enclosed in fairings.  A shallow steel tube cabane connected and supported the wings over the fuselage.  They were fitted with high aspect ratio overhung balanced ailerons and had a deep cut-out in the trailing edge over the cockpit to enhance the pilot's forward and upward vision.

The clean fuselage of the R.V was an internally wire braced, welded steel tube structure of rectangular cross section. The  Mercedes D.I water-cooled six cylinder inline engine was mounted behind a rectangular nose radiator in an aluminium covered forward fuselage region; fuel was gravity fed from a wing tank. Aft, the fuselage was fabric covered. The pilot had an open cockpit under the wing trailing edge, with one passenger next to him. Two other passengers could sit, though not stand, side by side within the fuselage forward of the pilot in a cabin lit by windows, one in the small, starboard side door, and heated by hot air from the engine. Their luggage was placed in a small compartment behind the pilot. The empennage was a steel tube structure, fabric covered.  The braced tailplane carried separate elevators which, like the rudder, were balanced.  The R.V had a simple, fixed conventional undercarriage with steel tube V struts and mainwheels on a rubber sprung single axle, together with a tailskid.

The R.V was flying before mid-January 1924. There were plans to accommodate all three passengers in the cabin. By February, their test pilot Raab had expressed strong concerns about the pilot's position, particularly the lack of visibility and his exposure to wind and pitching motions, suggesting that the relative positions of cockpit and cabin needed altering. This advice was heeded and in the second aircraft the cockpit had been moved forward, the cut-out in the trailing edge removed and the cabin placed under the trailing edge. In addition, the ailerons were no longer overhung and the vertical tail was broader and less high.  This machine had a Daimler engine.
