RFEM. RFEM is a 3D finite element analysis software working under Microsoft Windows computer operating systems. RFEM can be used for structural analysis and design of steel, concrete, timber, glass, membrane and tensile structures as well as for plant and mechanical engineering or dynamic analysis and analysis of steel joints.

The API technology Web Services allows you to create your own desktop or web-based applications by controlling all objects included in RFEM. By providing libraries and functions, you can develop your own design checks, effective modeling of parametric structures, as well as optimization and automation processes using the programming languages Python and C#.

RFEM is used by more than 13,000 companies, 130,000 users and many universities in 132 countries. As part of the research project "Thermal Imaging and Structural Analysis of Sandstone Monuments in Angkor", RFEM was used to create numerical models and for structural analysis.

BIM Integration 
RFEM offers numerous interfaces for data exchange within the BIM process. All relevant building data is digitally maintained within a three-dimensional model, which then is used throughout all of the planning stages. As a result, the various CAD and structural analysis programs are using the same model, which is directly transferred between the programs.

Besides direct interfaces to Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit Structure, Autodesk Structural Detailing, Bentley Systems applications (ISM), Tekla Structures, Rhino and Grasshopper, RFEM has interfaces for Industry Foundation Classes, CIS/2 and others.

Materials and cross-section libraries, load generation 
RFEM's library of materials includes various types of concrete, metal, timber, glass, foil, gas and soil.

RFEM's cross-section library includes rolled, built-up, thin-walled, and thick-walled cross-sections for steel, concrete, and timber. In addition, any open and closed thin-walled or massive cross-sections are available from the program RSECTION.

With tools integrated in RFEM, wind, snow, opening and other loads can be generated and surface loads can be converted into member loads. Through integrated CFD wind simulation, wind loads can also be generated using the RWIND program.

The aircraft is made from bonded and pop riveted aluminum sheet and has a  span wing. Optimized for simplicity of construction, the design has no compound curves and requires no jigs or special tools. The standard engine intended to be supplied with the kit was the  two-stroke Hirth 2702 powerplant with a reduction gearbox that allowed the propeller to operate at lower tip speeds. This engine permits the EOS 001 to cruise at  and achieve a top level speed of . The prototype was equipped with a Volkswagen air-cooled engine.

The aircraft has an empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload is .

In 1978 the claimed completion cost was US$2,000, not counting labor.

Operational history
The prototype EOS 001 was registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1978.

By October 2013 two examples, including the prototype, had been at one time registered in the United States with the FAA, but both registrations were later canceled and it is likely that no examples of this type exist today.

Lumitrack. Lumitrack is a motion capture technology developed by Robert Xiao, Chris Harrison and Scott Hudson at Carnegie Mellon University. It combines projectors and sensors to provide high-fidelity motion-tracking. These types of sensors are used in video game controllers, such as Microsoft's Kinect, and in motion capture for movie and television production.

Although the research prototype of Lumitrack currently uses visible light, it could be adapted to utilize invisible infrared light. According to the university, the sensors require little power and should be cheap to mass-produce. They could even be built into smartphones.

Technology

The projectors cover the tracked area with structured patterns called a binary m-sequence that resemble barcodes. The series of bars encodes a series of an assortment of vertical lines of varying thicknesses, without repeating any combination of seven adjacent line types anywhere in the projected image. The sensors read the bars to assess motion. The initial implementation offers sub-millimeter accuracy. When two m-sequences are projected at right angles to each other, the sensor can determine its position in two dimensions; while additional sensors enable 3D tracking.

The sensors are simple to manufacture and require little power and features response times in the range of 2.5 milliseconds, making them candidates for incorporation into other devices, such as phones. The sensors can be attached to tracked objects or to fixed objects such as walls.

Applications

The developers target video games as an initial application. Other possibilities include including CGI for movies and television and human–robot interaction.

Titanium diselenide. Titanium diselenide (TiSe2) also known as titanium(IV) selenide, is an inorganic compound of titanium and selenium. In this material selenium is viewed as selenide (Se2−) which requires that titanium exists as Ti4+. Titanium diselenide is a member of metal dichalcogenides, compounds that consist of a metal and an element of the chalcogen column within the periodic table. Many exhibit properties of potential value in battery technology, such as intercalation and electrical conductivity, although most applications focus on the less toxic and lighter disulfides, e.g. TiS2.

Structure
Within the titanium-selenium system, many stoichiometries have been identified. Titanium diselenide crystallizes with the CdI2 -type structure, in which the octahedral holes between alternating hexagonal closely packed layer of Se2− layers (that is half of the total number of octahedral holes) are occupied by Ti4+ centers. The CdI2 structure is often referred to as a layer structure as the repeating layers of atoms perpendicular to the close packed layer form the sequence Se-Ti-Se…Se-Ti-Se…Se-Ti-Se with weak van der Waals interactions between the selenium atoms in adjacent layers. The structure has (6,3)-coordination, being octahedral for the cation and trigonal pyramidal for the anions. The structure type is found commonly for many transition metal halides as well. This layered structure is known to undergo intercalation by alkali metals (M), resulting in the formation of MxTiSe2 (x ≤ 1), thereby expanding the weak van der Waals gaps between the 2D layered sheets.

Synthesis
A mixture of titanium and selenium are heated under argon atmosphere to produce crude samples.  The crude product is typically purified by chemical vapor transport using iodine as the transport agent.

Ti  +  2 Se   →   TiSe2

Uster–Oetwil tramway. The Uster–Oetwil tramway (, UOeB) was a metre gauge rural electric tramway in the Swiss canton of Zürich. It linked the town of Uster with Esslingen and Oetwil in the Zürcher Oberland.

The UOeB had an interchange with the main line at Uster station, on the Wallisellen to Rapperswil line. It also had track connections with two other metre gauge rural lines, the Wetzikon-Meilen-Bahn (WMB), at , and the Forchbahn (FB), at Esslingen. Through the FB, the WMB had an indirect metre gauge connection to the Zürich city tram network.

The line was electrified at 800 V DC. It had a length of , with 18 stops, a maximum gradient of 7% and a minimum radius of . Of the lines total length, all but  ran in the street.

The line opened on 28 May 1909. It survived until 10 January 1949, when it was replaced by a bus service operated by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO).

The line's headquarters and workshops were located near Uster, with an additional depot at Langholz. Both buildings still exist, in other uses, together with a goods shed at Mönchaltorf.
