Beijun 204-class dredger. Beijun 204 class dredger is a class of little known naval auxiliary ship currently in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).  The name of this class is after the first unit commissioned, with the exact type still remains unknown, and only a single unit of this class have been confirmed in active service as of mid-2010s. In comparison to other dredger in Chinese military service, Beijun 204 class is also capable of performing floating pile driver missions with two piles it is equipped with, one on each side of the ship.

Beijun 204 class series ships in PLAN service are designated by a combination of two Chinese characters followed by three-digit number. The second Chinese character is Jun (浚), meaning dredge in Chinese, because these ships are classified as dredgers. The first Chinese character denotes which fleet the ship is service with, with East (Dong, 东) for East Sea Fleet, North (Bei, 北) for North Sea Fleet, and South (Nan, 南) for South Sea Fleet. However, the pennant numbers may have changed due to the change of Chinese naval ships naming convention.

Chinese research ship Mirage Hunter. Mirage Hunter (Chinese: 幻影猎手, Hanyu Pinyin: Huan-Ying Lie-Shou) technical research ship (AGTR) is a very little known naval auxiliary ship currently of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).  First revealed in January 2012 with standard Chinese naval camouflage, only a single unit has been built as of mid-2010s.

Externally, Mirage Hunter looks identical to Sea Shadow (IX-529), albeit on a much scaled-down size, and both ships adopt the same small-waterplane-area twin hull design. Mirage Hunter is built by a shipyard in Wuhan, where the 701st Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) headquartered. 701st Institute is the primary Chinese research establishment conducting research on stealth features for ships and boats, and it is therefore postulated that Mirage Hunter AGTR is used by Chinese to research on the hull form of naval stealth technology and countermeasures.

Cubelets. Cubelets are a line of modular robotic construction toys manufactured by Modular Robotics. Cubelets are small robots that connect to create larger robot constructions, a kind of modular robot.

Cubelets connect magnetically with data and power passing through a genderless connector. Cubelets are sometimes used in educational settings such as K-12 classrooms and museum exhibits.

Operation
Each kind of Cubelet has a unique function and behavior. There are three categories of Cubelets - Sense, Think, and Act:
Sense Cubelets detect properties of the environment and turn them into data.
Think Cubelets modify and can share data throughout the robot construction.
Act Cubelets take the data they receive and turn it into action, like motion, sound or light.

MOSS system 

In 2013 Modular Robotics launched the MOSS robot construction system, a line of construction toys similar to Cubelets. MOSS modules connect via steel spheres and magnets located at the corner of each module. Each module has a specific function and combines to create a variety of simple robots.

Colectica. Colectica is a suite of programs for use in documenting official statistics and specifying statistical surveys using open standards that enable researchers, archivists, and programmers to perform:

 questionnaire design
 automatic programming for computer-assisted telephone interviewing systems
 data entry, retrieval, and management
 statistical analysis
 microdata documentation and management
 applications development
 data warehousing
 metadata standards creation such as Data Documentation Initiative

Colectica is currently in use by a variety of university survey research groups, longitudinal studies, National Statistics Offices, data archives, and commercial survey research organizations.

History 
Colectica was originally funded in part by the NIH National Institute on Aging to explore automatic documentation of computer assisted surveys. This grant saw the creation of metadata extraction and flowchart creation tools for CASES, Blaise, and CSPro survey instrument source code. The grant also partially funded the creation of a questionnaire specification content area in the Data Documentation Initiative's DDI Lifecycle metadata standard. The functionality of these tools, originally named SurveyViz, is now bundled with the Colectica Designer and based on the DDI standard.

The NIH funds many long-running longitudinal studies that have collected vast amounts of data, which due to their design require detailed documentation and organization. In 2011, the NIH National Institute on Aging provided further funding to add longitudinal data management functionality to Colectica to enable documenting the complex study designs.

120 ton-class repair dry dock. The 120-ton class dry dock is a class of naval auxiliary ship in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).  Only a single unit was completed with hull number 809, and it was originally given the name 809 Floating Dock after the hull number. However, the pennant number and its name may have been changed due to the change in the Chinese naval ships naming convention.

Designed in Shanghai by Shenjia Shipyard (申佳船厂), also known as the 4805th Factory of PLAN in Shanghai in the mid-1960s, construction began at the same shipyard in 1967 after design was completed, during the greatest political turmoil in China at the time, namely, Cultural Revolution. The result was the delay of the program, with the launching of the vessel did not commence until approximately three years later on June 27, 1970. The program suffered another serious blow approximately two months after its launching on August 31, 1970, when copper workers operated against the regulation by opening the valve, resulting in the sinking of the vessel.  The salvage and repair cost totaled ¥120,000 and delayed the program further for two more months, with sea trials finally conducted in October 1970. The dry dock was finally completed and handed over to PLAN in 1971 for a naval base in Fujian.

Grinder (sailing position). A grinder is a crew member on a yacht whose duties include operating manual winches (called "coffee grinders") that raise and trim the sails and move the boom. It is a physically demanding role with a significant impact on a racing yacht's overall performance.

The AC50 class yachts used in the America's Cup competition have four positions (on each side) for grinders.  These must be continuously operated to generate the hydraulic pressure needed by the yacht's controls.  Until 2017, the machinery was arm operated winches.  However, in 2017 Team New Zealand changed their grinding system to pedal operated positions (cyclors) similar to exercise bikes.  This change reportedly gained a 40% increase in power delivered to the hydraulic system.  In 2018, a decision was made to ban cyclors in the 36th America's Cup (2021) They were subsequently re-allowed for AC37 (2024).

USCGC Heriberto Hernandez. USCGC Heriberto Hernandez is the 14th  cutter delivered to the United States Coast Guard. Like five of her sister ships, her initial assignment will see her based in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Coast Guard decided to design all its new cutters, even its smallest, to be able to accommodate mixed sex crews.  The Sentinels, and the smaller s, have berthing areas of various sizes, to make this possible.  A Sentinel's complement is 22, and they are armed with a 25 mm Bushmaster autocannon, that can be operated remotely, and four crew-served fifty caliber Browning machine guns. The cutters are equipped with a sophisticated modern sensor suite, that can share data with other vessels. The Sentinel class is equipped with a stern launching ramp, that can deploy and retrieve the vessel's 7-meter high-speed jet-boat, even when the vessels are underway. Only a single crewmember is required to remain on deck to deploy or retrieve the jet-boat.

Heriberto Hernandez was commissioned in her home port, San Juan, Puerto Rico, on October 16, 2015.

Operational career

In January, 2019, the Heriberto Hernandez apprehended a small vessel with 35 people aboard they determined were intending to illegally enter the United States.  Near the vessel they also found a floating backpack containing $3.6 million worth of heroin.  27 of the vessel's occupants were turned over to the Dominican Republic, while the remaining 8 were turned over to the US Justice Department.

On January 5, 2021, while patrolling the Mona Passage, the Heriberto Hernandez sighted a suspicious vessel.  The unregistered vessel, which seemed to be home-built, which had three men aboard, was found north of Desecheo Island.  The crew of the Heriberto Hernandez deemed it unseaworthy, and took the men aboard.  Biometric scans determined one of the men had an arrest warrant for a double murder in San Juan.  The cutter rendezvoused with a vessel from the Dominican Navy, to pass over the other two men, who claimed to be Dominican citizens, and then handed over custody of the suspect to officials of the US Marshall Service in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

Namesake

Like all of the cutters of her class she is named after someone who served in the Coast Guard, or one of its three precursor services, the United States Revenue Cutter Service, the United States Lighthouse Service or the United States Lifeboat Service, who was recognized for their heroism.

Heriberto Hernandez lost his life when he was a fireman on board a , . Point Cypress was patrolling a river in South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War, when he died.  He received a posthumous Bronze Star for valor.
