Frid Wänström. Frid Benjamin Filippus Wänström (May 8, 1905, Lidköping – September 11, 1988, Linköping) was a Swedish aviation engineer who after KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 1932 was employed by the flygstyrelsen (predecessor to Royal Swedish Air Force Materiel Administration), from 1936 head of the calculation department Saab AB in Linköping.

Frid Wänström is mentioned for leading the work with Saab 29 Tunnan. It was the first fighter aircraft in Sweden with Swept wing. Information about arrow wings came from Switzerland and should have included drawings on Messerschmitts Me P1101, P1110, P1111 and P1112. SAAB:s project manager Frid Wänström fetched these secret papers from Switzerland to Sweden in 1945. The documents came from engineers from Messerschmitt who moved to Switzerland at the end of World War II.

Frid Wänström also participated in the following Saab projects Saab 32 Lansen, Saab 35 Draken and Saab 37 Viggen.

Frid Wänström was awarded the Swedish Aeronautical Society's Thulin Medal both in silver 1948 and in gold in 1968, and contributed to the formation of the Saab Veterans Association. He is buried in Vårdnäs cemetery.

International Textile Machinery Association exhibition. The ITMA exhibition is an event in the textile industry, where manufacturers from around the world gather to showcase their latest developments, innovations, and advancements in textile machinery. It serves as a platform for professionals in the textile supply chain to gain insights into the latest technological advancements and new machinery and devices that can enhance textile manufacturing processes, including the production of fibers, yarns, and the processing and finishing of textile products.

History 
ITMA is not the first of its kind exhibition. In the past, there have been references to exhibitions that are closely associated with it. One of them is the International Cotton Exposition. The International Cotton Exposition was a world fair held in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1881, showcasing the progress made in the city and developments in cotton production since its destruction in the Civil War and symbolizing the end of the Reconstruction Era and sectional tensions in the country.

The first international textile exhibition was held in 1951 at the "Grand Palais de la Foire de Lille" in Lille, France. Since 1951, the event has been held every four years in different countries. Soon the exhibition grew in size and participation of exhibitors. There were only 278 exhibitors at the first ITMA; the number increased to 881 at Basel, held in 1967, which was the fifth event.

Past ITMA exhibitions

CEMATEX 
CEMATEX is a consortium of nine national European textile machinery associations that owns ITMA. According to CEMATEX, it is "the world's largest international textile and garment technology exhibition."

Technological Developments in the Textile Industry

Laboratorio de Energía Solar Termoeléctrica. Laboratorio de Energía Solar Termoeléctrica is an abandoned dish structure near to El Medano, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. It was built in 2008 to generate solar energy, but was constructed without permission and was abandoned in 2009.

Construction 
The structure was conceived by Daniel González, and advertised around 2006. After a grant from the Ministerio de Industria in 2007, it was constructed in 2008 by González's company, Lysply, to use solar power to generate electricity and hydrogen. It had a budget of €5 million for the first stage, and the second stage would have cost €111 million. Its official name was Promotional Laboratory for Solar Thermoelectric Energy and Energy Storage ().

The  diameter dish structure was able to track the sun, and was covered with mirrors to focus sunlight onto a small area where the solar energy was chemically stored in methanol. It was intended to be one of three matching structures for test purposes and to raise investor interest. It was also claimed that it could produce silica crystals.

Abandonment and decay 

The structure was built in rural land without an urban planning license, close to housing in El Médano, and in a protected landscape. Additionally, there were complaints about methanol being stored at the site. After the site was closed three times, work stopped in 2009, and the structure was abandoned. A subsequent court case by the company against the state and government of the Canary Islands, seeking €50 million per day since the site's closure on 9 February 2009 due to a claimed loss of €40 million, was rejected in 2013.

The structure is known locally as 'Parabólica'. The structure is abandoned, with no plans to remove it, and the site is now popular with photographers of abandoned spaces.

Cecil Crawford O'Gorman. Cecil Crawford O'Gorman (1874 – 1943) was an Irish mining engineer, chemist and painter.

Life
Cecil Crawford O'Gorman was born in Ireland in 1874. He was the son of John O'Gorman, and the grandson of Charles O'Gorman, the first British consul to Mexico in 1823. O'Gorman studied engineering in Dublin.

O'Gorman moved to Mexico to work for a British mining company in 1895. Following ill-health from working in mining areas, O'Gorman became a chemist. He met and married his distant cousin in Mexico, Encarnación O'Gorman. They had four children, architect Juan, historian Edmundo, Margarita, and Tomás. 

In his 1973 autobiography, his son Juan recounted the family's experience of the Mexican revolution and the bravery and piety of O'Gorman in protecting his family.

He commissioned his son Juan to design and build a house for him and his wife in 1928, which would become the first modernist house in Mexico. The house, known as the "Cecil O'Gorman House", is in San Ángel Colonia and is beside the Rivera-Kahlo house which was completed in 1932. In 2012, the National Institute of Fine Arts purchased the house.

O'Gorman attended classes given by Saturnino Herrán and travelled to France to improve his painting. He was among the circle of painters who were central to the "Mexican Renaissance" such as Alfonso Michel, Manuel González Serrano, and Emilio Baz Viaud. He became well-known for his portraiture, landscapes, and murals. His work is seen as conventional and representational. A retrospective exhibition was held at Palacio de Bellas Artes after he died in 1943.

ROV SuBastian. The Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) SuBastian is owned and operated by the Schmidt Ocean Institute and is used for scientific exploration of the deep sea. ROV SuBastian is operated from the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel RV Falkor and can reach depths up to 4,500m (2.8 miles). The tethered robot has an array of scientific capability which includes: 

 Deploying and recovering scientific equipment
 Photomosaicing 
 Sample collection 
 Seawater characterization 
 Seafloor mapping
 4k High-resolution video

ROV SuBastian is an adaptable system and additional sensors and scientific instruments can be mounted onto the ROV based on a science party’s specific research goals.

History 
ROV SuBastian was named after the character Bastian from the German fantasy novel The Neverending Story (Bastian) combined with “sub,” as the vehicle is used subsurface. ROV SuBastian operates solely from R/V Falkor.

ROV SuBastian was specifically designed and constructed for scientific research in 2015 by a California-based team of engineers. The design and construction process took approximately 18 months. SuBastian was tank tested at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute prior to its first deep sea launch. The inaugural dive occurred in 2016 in the deep sea off Guam. As of 2020, ROV SuBastian has completed over 400 dives around the globe, enabling researcher’s access to remote regions and depths. Researchers utilizing ROV SuBastian have discovered new species, seafloor features, and advanced scientific exploration of the global ocean.

Specifications 
ROV SuBastian weighs 3,200kg and is 2.7m x 1.8m x 1.8m, roughly the same size as a subcompact car. The vehicle is fitted with syntactic foam, allowing it to be neutrally buoyant while diving. SuBastian moves using five thrusters; one thruster moves it sideways, two move it forward and back, and another two are used for vertical movement. It is tethered to Falkor with a highly flexible and robust umbilical cable, which provides electrical and optical signals between the ship and ROV. The umbilical uses a cantilever system to avoid entanglement with propellers. ROV SuBastian transits at a speed of 0.5 – 3 knots, depending on depth and currents. Once deployed, ROV SuBastian is controlled by at least two pilots aboard the ship. The dive length depends on objective, depth, and weather. The average dive time is around 8 hours, but there are no technical limits on how long an ROV can stay down.

Fore plane. The fore plane is a type of woodworking bench plane typically used for preparing and flattening rough workpieces before using other planes, such as the jointer plane and the smoothing plane. The name fore plane is sometimes used synonymously with the jack plane, but the fore plane is usually longer in length, making it more effective at levelling larger workpieces.

Description 
Under the Stanley Bailey numbering system for metal-bodied planes the #6 fore planes are  long, longer than the #5 jack planes and shorter than the #7 and #8 jointer planes. Historically, wooden-bodied fore planes have been  long. As with other bench planes, fore planes were first developed with wooden bodies, before the introduction in the 19th century of metal-bodied and transitional planes.

Terminology 
The name fore plane dates back to at least the 17th century in Britain, and was named fore plane because it would be used on a workpiece before other planes. The name fore plane is sometimes used synonymously with the jack plane, while in 17th century Britain the term fore plane was used more by joiners or cabinet makers, and jack plane by carpenters.

Use 
When used, the fore plane is either the first plane to be used on rough sawn timber, or is used after the jack plane. The fore plane is able to quickly remove material and level the workpiece before the woodworker moves on to using a jointer plane or smoothing plane. Often fore planes are used perpendicular and diagonally to the grain, and are set to remove larger shavings. The iron can also be sharpened with a slight camber to aid this.

For the rough preparation and levelling of stock fore planes have largely been replaced in modern workshops by machinery such as jointers and thicknessers.
