UMS/UHD/UHX. UMS/UHD/UHX is a forklift truck in the Tergo series from the Swedish manufacturer Atlet AB. It differs from traditional forklift truck design philosophy in that it is entirely designed around the operator. By letting the forklift truck adjust to the operator's skills and body structure the UMS/UHD/UHX is an example of how ergonomics is an important part of machine efficiency.

Cheng cycle. The Cheng cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which uses a combination of two working fluids, one gas and one steam.  It can therefore be considered a combination of the Brayton cycle and the Rankine cycle. It was named for Dr. Dah Yu Cheng.

The company founded by Dr. Cheng has developed systems in partnership with both GM and GE turbine manufacturers to take advantage of the Cheng cycle by modification of existing turbine designs before construction. The Cheng cycle involves the heated exhaust gas from the turbine being used to make steam in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The steam so produced is injected into the gas turbine's combustion chamber to increase power output. The process can be thought of as a parallel combination of the gas turbine Brayton cycle and a steam turbine Rankine cycle. The cycle was invented by Prof. Dah Yu Cheng of the University of Santa Clara who patented it in 1976.

A fully Cheng Cycle design Gas/Steam two fluid flow turbine can achieve a theoretical thermal efficiency of 60% matching or even exceeding many traditional Combined Cycle Gas Turbines that keep the steam Rankine Cycle and gas Brayton Cycle as separate loops.

Antiproton Collector. The Antiproton Collector (AC) was part of the antiparticle factory at CERN designed to decelerate and store antimatter, to study the properties of antimatter and to create atoms of antihydrogen. It was built in 1986 around the existing Antiproton Accumulator (AA) to improve the antiproton production by a factor of 10. Together, the Antiproton Collector and the Antiproton Accumulator formed the so-called Antiproton Accumulator Complex (AAC).

Low energy antiproton research continues at CERN using the Antiproton Decelerator. It was built as a successor to LEAR and started operation in 2000.

History 

After the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) had been operational since 1980, the update program ACOL (Antiproton COLlector) was proposed in 1983.  The update comprised improvement work on the antiproton source, the construction of the Antiproton Collector (AC), as well as reconstructions of the injection and ejection systems of the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) and its stochastic cooling system. The estimated budget of the upgrade program was 40.2 million CHF. The changes were implemented during 1986 and 1987, with the AC getting constructed tightly around the existing AA ring.

The Antiproton Accumulator Complex (AAC) served its last particles to the Proton-Antiproton Collider SpS in 1991. After the (SpS) was shut down, AAC continued to produce antiprotons for LEAR. Operation stopped in 1997, when the AA was dismantled and the AC was converted into the Antiproton Decelerator (AD).

Operation 

The main scope of the Antiproton Collector (AC) was to increase the antiproton luminosity in CERN's accelerator complex. Upgrading to the AC increased the number of available antiprotons tenfold to around  antiprotons per second. The reason for this was the much larger acceptance of the AC compared to the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) alone. Additionally, several methods to compress the antiproton beams' phase space volume were applied, e.g. stochastic cooling.

The antiprotons were produced by accelerating protons onto a target. The resulting antiprotons emitted by the target material had a large divergence, which called for special devices to focus them. Instead of quadrupole magnets, which are conventionally used to focus particle beams, rods of solid lithium with an applied high gradient magnetic field were implemented.

The functionality of the Antiproton Accumulator Complex can be well understood through the analogon of a hydraulic system, which is depicted in the included picture.  The tap represents the target systems that produce antiprotons. These are collected in the collector ring with a large acceptance (the funnel). The accumulator ring can be compared to a reservoir, where the antiprotons are accumulated and eventually released as even, well defined bunches.

Microdensitometer. A microdensitometer is an optical instrument used to measure optical densities in the microscopic domain.  A well-known microdensitometer, used in the photographic industry, is a granularity instrument or granularity machine.  The granularity measurement involves the use of an optical aperture, 10-50 micrometers in diameter, and in the recording of thousands of optical density readings.  The standard deviation of this series of measurements is known as the granularity of the measured transmission surface, optical film, or photographic film, in particular .

An alternative version to the traditional point-by-point microdensitometer is the beam expanded laser microdensitometer.  This instrument can illuminate simultaneously an area a few centimeters wide with an ultra thin height, in the micrometer regime.  Advantages include increased depth of focus, significant increases in data collection speed, and superior signal to noise ratios.   In microscopy applications, this type of ultra thin beam-expanded illumination can also be known as light sheet illumination or selective plane illumination.

This measurement technique, using ultra-thin expanded laser beams, is particularly useful to detect microscopic imperfections in optical coatings or transmission optical surfaces.

Local Motion (company). Local Motion, Inc. ("Local Motion") is a transportation software and hardware company that builds intelligent networks of shareable vehicles. Founded by John Stanfield and Clément Gires in 2010, the company is based in San Mateo, CA.

History 

Co-founders John Stanfield and Clément Gires met at Stanford University in 2010 while pursuing master's degrees. Stanfield previously co-founded two small businesses, Perfect Shine and Veggie Wheels. As his master's thesis project for the Joint Program in Design, he and several classmates designed and built a low-speed electric vehicle, which they called the Weng (short for "Where Everyone Needs to Go"). Gires also had previous experience in vehicle design, having helped to build a 1000 mpg car in France.

After graduation, Stanfield and Gires worked together to build a second low-speed electric vehicle as part of the Lemnos Labs hardware incubator program in San Francisco. The newer version of the Weng was designed to be shareable and interactive as well as energy efficient.

In 2012, the company changed its name from Weng Motors, Inc. to Local Motion, Inc., and switched its focus from designing vehicles to building software and hardware capable of connecting existing vehicles to local transportation networks. In the summer of 2012, the company began targeting fleets on corporate campuses as an initial sales channel, launching pilot networks on several corporate campuses in Silicon Valley.

Product 

Local Motion builds software and hardware designed to connect vehicles of all types to local networks. These networks are intended to increase the efficiency and usage of vehicles and facilitate fleet management and ride sharing. Local Motion aims to distinguish itself from competitors by focusing on two-way information flow and interactivity between users and vehicles. Gires defines the company's approach to transportation as providing both "information and service."

The company retrofits existing vehicles with hardware that interacts with users and other vehicles, gathers data about transportation patterns and user behavior, and transmits charge, health and location information back to the central network. The online booking platform lets users view schedules, book reservations and share rides. A separate platform allows fleet managers to monitor the status of vehicles, add or remove vehicles and users, oversee repairs, and resize or redistribute their fleets based on usage patterns.

German submarine U-359. German submarine U-359 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

She carried out three patrols. She did not sink or damage any ships.

She was sunk by an American aircraft in the Caribbean Sea on 26 July 1943.

Design
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-359 had a displacement of  when at the surface and  while submerged. She had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of  for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8–27 double-acting electric motors producing a total of  for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two  propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to .

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of  and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for  at ; when surfaced, she could travel  at . U-359 was fitted with five  torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one  SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and two twin  C/30 anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.

Service history
The submarine was laid down on 9 June 1941 at the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft yard at Flensburg as yard number 478, launched on 11 June 1942 and commissioned on 5 October under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Heinz Förster.

She served with the 8th U-boat Flotilla from 5 October 1942 and the 7th flotilla from 1 March 1943.

First patrol
U-359s first patrol took her from Kiel on 4 February 1943, through the Iceland / Faroe Islands 'gap' and south of Greenland. She arrived at St. Nazaire in occupied France, on 18 March.

Second patrol
During her second foray she crossed the Bay of Biscay and then turned in a southwesterly direction. The boat accordingly headed south before sailing northwest across the Atlantic.

Third patrol and loss
U-359 left St. Nazaire for the last time on 29 June 1943. On 26 July, she was sunk by depth charges dropped from a US Navy PBM Mariner aircraft in the Caribbean off Santo Domingo, Haiti.

47 men died; there were no survivors.

Previously recorded fate
U-359 was originally noted as sunk on 28 July 1943 by a Mariner aircraft P-1 of USN Squadron VP-32. (Postwar assessment). This attack sank .

3rd Super Robot Wars. was the third game in a series, the second in the "classic" canon, and the first on the Super Famicom, published on July 23, 1993. Along with 2nd and EX, 3rd Super Robot Wars was released on the Sony PlayStation on June 10, 1999, as part of Super Robot Wars Complete Box and June 22, 1999, as a stand-alone port.

Story 
The game take place after the 2nd Super Robot Wars, the Divine Crusaders reformed under the leadership of the Zabi family, led by Gihren Zabi, who plans to use the DC to create a dictatorship. However, as the Federation tries to deal with the resurgence of the DC, a new foe appears, the aliens which Bian Zoldark warned of.

New features 
Pilots can now pilot any unit from a series they were in. For instance, Emma Sheen can pilot any unit from the Universal Century Gundam series (since she debuted in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, which is part of the UC timeline), and Tetsuya Tsurugi can pilot any unit from the Mazinger canon.
The interface and statistics for the robots and pilots were improved. Ammo and Energy (EN) are separate statistics, with many attacks having an ammo limit or an EN limit (which can be replenished during a battle by supply units), and movement during flight or space travel will drain energy.
Robots can be upgraded for better performance.
The story of the game now has multiple paths depending on choices made by the player, which can lead to different game scenario and changed storylines, including alternate endings.
Depending on ending, the concept of a "True Final Boss" was introduced, with the player able to fight an extremely difficult extra boss if a certain ending is reached (a concept the series would use until Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden).
Animations were somewhat improved, and backgrounds during battle now have detail.

Tainan TN-1. The Tainan TN-1, alternatively known by the manufacturer's name Tainan F-5, is a single seat glider built in Japan in the 1970s. There was no series production.

Design and development

Though its construction began in 1974, the Tainan TN-1 is a conservative design both structurally, with little use of composite materials, and aerodynamically, employing well tested Göttingen airfoils from forty years before. Consequently, its performance is modest. It first flew in December 1976.

The TN-1 has high mounted wings of straight tapered, square tipped plan, forward swept by 2° 4' at one quarter-chord and with 3° of dihedral.  They are built from spruce and plywood around a single spar, with fabric covering, though the ailerons are plywood skinned. Aluminium Schempp-Hirth airbrakes are fitted.

As with the wings, the construction methods used in the fuselage and empennage of the TN-1 are similar to those in the Tainan Mita 3 two-seater.  The primary fuselage structure is formed from steel tubes, with wood stringers to shape the fabric covering. The nose-cone is shaped from glass reinforced plastic.  The fin and tailplane, the latter mounted on top of the fuselage, are wooden framed with plywood skins but the control surfaces are fabric covered; the rudder extends down to the keel.  All the tail surfaces are straight tapered; there is a trim tab on the starboard elevator.  The TN-1 lands on a fixed, unsprung but braked monowheel undercarriage, assisted by a tailskid.

Operational history

Some fifteen months after its first flight, the TN-1 was undergoing its certification trials but no further progress had been reported by 1980.
