Meerswal. Meerswal is a smock mill in Lollum, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1903. The mill has been restored to working order and  held is reserve for use in times of emergency. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 39364.

History

The first mill on this site was built in 1818. It burnt down in 1902. Meerswal was built in 1903. It drained the Rûgelollum  polder, which covers . On 3 November 1970, the sails and windshaft were blown out of the mill in a storm. A 24V electric motor powered by batteries was installed in the mill to drive the Archimedes' screw. On 21 June 1977, the mill was sold to Stichting De Fryske Mole (). Meerswal was restored in 1978-79 by millwright Westra of Franeker. At that time, Common sails were fitted. The mill was refitted with Patent sails at a later date. In 1994, millwright Hiemstra of Tzummarum replaced the Archimedes' screw and restored the watercourses. In 2006, the mill was officially listed by Wetterskip Fryslân as being held in reserve for use in times of emergency.

Description

Meerswal is what the Dutch describe as a Grondzeiler. It is a three-storey smock mill on a single-storey base. There is no stage, the sails reaching almost to ground level. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The smock and cap are thatched. The sails are Patent sails. They have a span of . The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft. which was cast by Prins van Oranje, The Hague, South Holland in 1892. This was originally installed in the saw mill De Haan (), Franeker. It was fitted to Meerswal after De Haan was dismantled in 1912. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 57 cogs. This drives the wallower (29 cogs) at  the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft the crown wheel, which has 42 cogs drives a gearwheel with 37 cogs on the axle of the Archimedes' screw. A spur wheel with 63 cogs on the upright shaft is driven by a lantern pinion with 19 staves which receives the belt drive from the battery driven electric motor. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is  diameter. The screw is  diameter. It is inclined at 22½°. Each revolution of the screw lifts  of water.

Public access
Meerswal is normally open to the public on a Saturday. The mill is also open by appointment.

Aircraft approach category. An aircraft approach category is a grouping which differentiates aircraft based on the speed at which the aircraft approaches a runway for landing.

They are used to determine airspace, obstacle clearance and visibility requirements for instrument approaches.

Definition

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) classifies aircraft by their indicated airspeed at runway threshold (Vat, also known as approach speed or VREF).

The categories are as follows:

Category A: less than 169 km/h (91 kt) indicated airspeed (IAS)
Category B: 169 km/h (91 kt) or more but less than 224 km/h (121 kt) IAS
Category C: 224 km/h (121 kt) or more but less than 261 km/h (141 kt) IAS
Category D: 261 km/h (141 kt) or more but less than 307 km/h (166 kt) IAS
Category E: 307 km/h (166 kt) or more but less than 391 km/h (211 kt) IAS
Category H: Helicopters

Helicopters may use Category A minima on instrument procedures designed for aeroplanes, or may use specific procedures designed for helicopters.

Threshold speed is calculated as 1.3 times stall speed Vs0 or 1.23 times stall speed Vs1g in the landing configuration at maximum certificated landing mass. Aircraft approach categories do not change during day-to-day operation. To change an aircraft's category, an aircraft must be re-certified with a different maximum landing mass. Pilots may not use a lower category than the one certified, but may choose to use a higher category for higher speed approaches.

The maximum permitted speed for visual manoeuvring is significantly higher than the threshold speed. Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach.

Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.

United States of America 
Approach category definitions in the United States of America are similar to those defined by ICAO. They are defined in terms of VREF of a given aircraft, or if VREF is not specified, 1.3 Vs0 at the maximum certificated landing weight. The values of VREF, VS0, and the maximum certificated landing weight are established for the aircraft by the certification authority of the country of registry. The United States does not give a top speed for Category E.

Examples 

Selected examples from FAA Circular 150/5300-13A - Airport Design:

The Northrop T-38 Talon is an example of an Approach Category E aircraft.

The Space Shuttle had a landing speed of about .

Relief well. Relief wells are used both in the natural gas and petroleum industry and in flood control.

Fossil fuels
In the natural gas and petroleum industry, a relief well is drilled to intersect an oil or gas well that has experienced a blowout. Specialized liquid, such as heavy (dense) drilling mud followed by cement, can then be pumped down the relief well in order to stop the flow from the reservoir in the damaged well.

The first use of a relief well was in Texas in the mid-1930s when one was drilled to pump water into an oil well that had cratered and caught on fire.

Flood control
In flood control, a different type of relief well is used adjacent to earthen levees to relieve the pressure on the lake or river side of the levee and thus to prevent the collapse of the levee. The greater flow of water in the water source, typically during a flood, creates a pressure gradient such that more water infiltrates the soil of the levee. Water may then flow through the soil towards the dry side of the levee, resulting in sand boil, liquefaction of the soil, and ultimately destruction of the levee. Relief wells act like valves to relieve the water pressure and allow excess water to be diverted safely, for example, to a canal. Relief wells can prevent sand boils from occurring by relieving the water pressure as described.

Yates and Thom. Yates & Thom Ltd, or Yates of Blackburn, was a British manufacturer of stationary steam engines and boilers at the Canal Ironworks, Blackburn, Lancashire, England.

The company had its origins in a blacksmith's shop started by William Yates in 1824.

In the 1860s, the company supplied a cam operated, drop valve compound engine operating at 100 psi to the India Mill, Darwen. Other mills supplied by Yates and Thom included the Durban Mill, Oldham. This was an 1800 hp triple-expansion four-cylinder engine built in 1906. It had a 24" HP cylinder, a 29" IP cylinder and two 38" LP cylinders with a 5 ft 6 in stroke. At 180 psi, it drove a 27-ft, 67-ton flywheel with 38 ropes at 65 rpm.  It used Corliss valves on all cylinders. An engine, one of a pair supplied by the firm, survives at Leigh Spinners.

The company supplied a 3,300 horsepower twin tandem compound engine, which survives in the engine house at the Astley Green Colliery Museum. It was the largest steam winding engine used on the Lancashire Coalfield.

In 1928, the company became Foster, Yates and Thom when it was acquired by Joseph Foster & Sons. The company continued to manufacture boilers until 1964, with the remainder of the works closing in 1973.

Wintek. Wintek was a Taiwanese maker of electronic components, mainly touch screens for devices such as Apple's iPhone. Its headquarters was in Taichung, Taiwan.

History
Wintek was established in 1990 and produces components in Taiwan, India, China and Vietnam.

Worker illness controversy
In May 2010 it emerged that employees in China producing touchscreens for the iPhone had been poisoned by a cleaning chemical called n-hexane, leading to nerve damage and in some cases paralysis. n-Hexane was introduced into the production process because it evaporates very quickly, thus speeding the manufacturing. A hospital in Suzhou has treated more than 100 workers who breathed in the hexane vapours. Some workers have been hospitalized for more than six months. While some workers have said that Wintek paid their medical bills and promises to keep their jobs for them while on medical leave, under Chinese law these workers will only get compensation if they leave these jobs.

Bankruptcy
In October 2014, Wintek filed for bankruptcy protection as it was hit hard by poor sales of panels for personal computers and a marketing offensive by Chinese competitors in the smartphone panel sector.
