Telecommunication Instructional Modeling System. TIMS, or Telecommunication Instructional Modeling System, is an electronic device  invented by Tim Hooper and developed by Australian engineering company Emona Instruments that is used as a telecommunications trainer in educational settings and universities.

History 
TIMS was designed at the University of New South Wales by Tim Hooper in 1971. It was developed to run student experiments for electrical engineering communications courses. Hooper’s concept was developed into the current TIMS model in the late 1980s. In 1986, the  project won a competition organized by Electronics Australia for development work using the Texas Instruments TMS320. Emona Instruments also received an award for TIMS at the fifth Secrets of Australian ICT Innovation Competition.

Methodology 

TIMS uses a block diagram-based interface for experiments in the classroom. It can model mathematical equations to simulate electric signals, or it can use block diagrams to simulate telecommunications systems. It uses a different hardware card to represent functions for each block of the diagram.

TIMS consists of a server, a chassis, and boards that can emulate the configurations of a telecommunications system. It uses electronic circuits as modules to simulate the components of analog and digital communications systems. The modules can perform different functions such as signal generation, signal processing, signal measurement, and digital signal processing.

Variants 
The block diagram approach to modeling the mathematics of a telecommunication system has also been ported across to other domains.

Simulation 
Where the blocks are patched together onscreen to mimic the hardware implementation but with a simulation engine (known as TutorTIMS).

Remote access 
It can be used by multiple students at once across the internet or LAN via a browser based client screen. This utilises a statistical time division multiplexing architecture in the control unit. The method is applied both to Telecommunications and Electronics Laboratories (known as netCIRCUITlabs).

CRUSE. CRUSE Spezialmaschinen GmbH is a German manufacturer of scanning devices, based in Wachtberg, North Rhine-Westphalia.

The firm produces high-end scanners, most of which are sold to government institutions, museums and archives such as the Smithsonian, the Guggenheim, the V&A Museum and the Vatican Secret Archive. Their scanners are large and specialised, and capable of scanning large pieces of artworks in one go. The machines create digital images without physically contacting the artworks. A company in Michigan, the United States has used the scanners for works of fine art up to 60- by 72-inches. With a fixed light source and scan head, and a moving vacuum table, the scanners provide even illumination over the whole surface of the original copies, while exposing the copies to very little light.

A study published in IS&T (digital) Archiving Conference in 2012 investigated the color accuracy of five camera systems used for museum image-archiving applications: Phase One IQ 180, Leaf Aptus 75, Hasselblad H4D-50, Cruse scanner, and a Sinar 75H modified to incorporate the RIT Dual-RGB approach. A Betterlight Super 8K was also used in the test as a benchmark. The study found that only the Sinar and the Cruse systems were optimized for archival imaging, and their results were acceptable. The Hasselblad and the Phase One systems needed significant visual editing to make archival color images.

X-15 Flight 62. Flight 62 of the North American X-15 was a sub-orbital spaceflight conducted by NASA and the US Air Force on 17 July 1962. The X-15 was piloted by astronaut Robert Michael White to an altitude of 95.9 km (59.6 mi) surpassing the U.S. definition of space. Thus it became the first spaceflight of a spaceplane and a reusable spacecraft. The X-15 was also NASA's first space vehicle (the Mercury capsule flew into space first, but the X-15 was airborne before Big Joe 1). The Flight landed at Edwards Air Force Base. With this White was the first test pilot qualifying for his astronaut wings.

Project Santa Barbara. Project Santa Barbara was a missile program developed under the administration of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos (1965–86) during the Cold War.  The first successful launch was in 1972.  The project was discontinued due to undisclosed reasons.

Background

Project Santa Barbara was initiated by the administration of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and it involved the Philippine Navy and a group of scientists. It was conceived amidst the United States withdrawal of its armed forces in Indochina and in anticipation that the US would also withdraw its forces stationed in the Philippines.

Under the program, different types of missiles were developed which are intended to intercept land, sea, and air-based threats. There were also plans to export missiles developed under the program to friendly countries.

One of the missiles developed was the Bongbong rocket, named after the moniker of President Marcos' son Ferdinand Jr. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States described the weapon as the Philippines' first liquid-propellant rocket. The associated weaponry system of the Bongbong rocket is similar to the Soviet unguided artillery Katyusha. The 37 dynamic tests were conducted, with most of the test conducted on Caballo Island. Four of the test were made in Fort Magsaysay. 

The first successful launch under the project involved the Bongbong rocket. The launch was made on March 12, 1972 with the rocket retrieved from the South China Sea.

The project was discontinued due to undisclosed reasons.

Electrical device. Electrical devices or electric devices are devices that functionally rely on electric energy (AC or DC) to operate their core parts (electric motors, transformers, lighting, rechargeable batteries, control electronics). They can be contrasted with traditional mechanical devices which depend on different power sources like fuels or human physical strength. Electronic devices are a specialized kind of electrical devices in which electric power is predominantly used for data processing rather than the generation of mechanical forces. To better differentiate between both classes, electric devices that emphasize physical work are also called electromechanical. Mechatronics accentuates the intersection of both fields.

Together, electronic and electric devices, their development, maintenance, and power supply comprise the subject of electrical engineering.

The majority of electric devices in households is stationary and — due to their considerable power consumption — relies on electrical installation, especially electric outlets instead of small electric generators, batteries, rechargeable or not.

Due to their dependence on electric power sources, in general well-evolved power grids, electric devices and their power consumption pattern have moved into the focus of smart metering.

Electrical equipment

Electrical equipment includes any machine powered by electricity. It usually consists of an enclosure, a variety of electrical components, and often a power switch. Examples of these include:
Lighting
Major appliance
Small appliances
IT equipment (computers, printers etc.)
Motors, pumps and HVAC Systems

More specifically, electrical equipment refers to the individual components of an electrical distribution system. These components may involve:
Electric switchboards
Distribution boards
Circuit breakers and disconnects
Transformers
Electricity meter

Total mycosynthesis. Total mycosynthesis is the combination of the use of a filamentous fungal host organism with a genetic expression system that allows the assembly and controlled expression of one or more biosynthetic genes. Total mycosynthesis involves the reconstruction and/or engineering of biosynthetic pathways for the production of secondary metabolites. It is competitive with chemical total synthesis. It can be used both for the production of known natural products, and for the engineering of pathways to produce new compounds or pathway intermediates.Examples include the total mycosynthesis of tenellin where the tenS, tenC, tenA and tenB genes were transferred from Beauveria bassiana to the expression host Aspergillus oryzae. The expression system allows the engineering of TenS  to control chain-length and methylation pattern.
