Herbert screw. The Herbert screw (invented by Timothy Herbert) is a variable pitch cannulated screw typically made from titanium for its biocompatible properties as the screw is normally intended to remain in the patient indefinitely. It became generally available in 1978. It is one of the earliest designs of headless compression screws which are used to achieve interfragmentary compression through its differential pitch between the threads at each end of the screw (distance between adjacent threads of screw).

It is used in scaphoid, capitellum, radial head and in osteochondral fractures. Other uses include osteochondritis dissecans & small joint arthrodesis.

Sustainable Seattle. Sustainable Seattle is a non-profit organization that promotes sustainability in Central Puget Sound. It was officially founded as a non-profit in 1991. Sustainable Seattle was the first organization to create regional indicators for sustainability. This work influenced many cities and groups around the world and it works in sustainability indicators based on citizens’ values and goals for their communities. The public policy think tank, Redefining Progress, surveyed over 170 sustainability projects around the country and found that more than 90 of them used Sustainable Seattle as a model for their initiatives.

For the first decade of its existence, Sustainable Seattle focused on creating regional sustainability indicators through grassroots activism. It also created monthly newsletters about such topics as recycling, home gardening, and community building. Home gardening became a phenomenon in the DIY community. In its second decade, Sustainable Seattle expanded into many areas, from neighborhood data collection and Neighborhood Sustainability Scorecards to education programs, programs for businesses, and an annual competition to create a shared vision for a sustainable future in Seattle.

Sustainable Seattle is believed to be the first Sustainable Community organization. Today, there are over 50 "Sustainable Community" organizations in Washington and hundreds across America.

Monitor Control Command Set. Monitor Control Command Set or MCCS is a computer standard developed by Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It defines a binary protocol for controlling the properties of computer monitors from a host device such as PC, set-top box, etc.

MCCS requires a bidirectional communication protocol like Display Data Channel between host and display, although the specification does not favour any particular protocol.

Controls
A virtual control panel (VCP) code is a binary code that represents a single command entity in the MCCS language. Each command contains variable number of data parameters and command attributes.

The following groups of controls are defined in the standard: 
 Factory preset   Commands for restoring factory defaults, as well as specifically restoring color, geometry, brightness/contrast, and TV settings defaults, and storing/restoring presets.
 Color adjustment  Commands that control color temperature, hue, and saturation.
 Geometry adjustment  Commands for adjusting CRT display geometry, such as parallelogram, pincushion,  etc.
 Image adjustment  Various general commands such as display orientation, degauss, gamma, zoom, focus, brightness/contrast, backlight control, etc.

It is possible to select the input source using a VCP command. Some monitors will only take VCP commands from the active input source, others will take commands from any connected input source.  

Three categories of controls exist: 
 Continuous (C)  Allow values between zero and a maximum value.
 Non-continuous (NC)  Only support a limited set of values.
 Table (T)  Large blocks of data.

Control data may be read and write (RW), read-only (RO), or write-only (WO).

The display exposes its supported internal controls via capability strings.

Versions
The original MCCS standard version 1 was released on September 11, 1998.

MCCS Version 2 was released on October 17, 2003. A major update of the standard, it provided support for flat panel displays, VESA DPVL (Digital Packet Video Link) standard; it added a range of television controls and introduced individual control of multiple windows on a display. New classes of VCP codes associated with asset management, secondary displays (for information, status, etc.) and remote program calls to the display processor are introduced.

MCCS Version 2, Revision 1 was released on May 28, 2005 and included some minor updates, as well as clarifications and improved usability of the standard.

MCCS Version 3, released on July 27, 2006, was a major revision and update which introduced significant changes, however this revision has seen very little support from the industry.

The latest release of V2 standard is version 2.2a, adopted January 2011.

Coenergy. In physics and engineering, Coenergy (or co-energy) is a non-physical quantity, measured in energy units, used in theoretical analysis of energy in physical systems.The concept of co-energy can be applied to many conservative systems (inertial mechanical, electromagnetic, etc.), which can be described by a linear relationship between the input and stored energy.The co-energy analysis techniques cannot be applied to non-linear systems. However, small nonlinearities are often neglected by linearisation of the problems.

Example - magnetic coenergy 

Consider a system with a single coil and a non-moving armature (i.e. no mechanical work is done). Hence, all of the electric energy supplied to the device is stored in the magnetic field.

where (e is the voltage, i is the current, and  is the flux linkage):

therefore 

For a general problem the relationship  is non-linear (see also magnetic hysteresis).

If there is a finite change in flux linkage from one value to another (e.g. from  to ), it can be calculated as:

(If the changes are cyclic there will be losses for hysteresis and eddy currents. The additional energy for this would be taken from the input energy, so that the flux linkage to the coil is not affected by the losses and the coil can be treated as an ideal lossless coil. Such system is therefore conservative.)

For calculations either the flux linkage  or the current i can be used as the independent variable.

The total energy stored in the system is equal to the area OABO, which is in turn equal to OACO, therefore:

For linear lossless systems the coenergy is equal in value to the stored energy. The coenergy has no real physical meaning, but it is useful in calculating mechanical forces in electromagnetic systems. To distinguish it from the "real" energy in calculations it is usually marked with an apostrophe.

The total area of the rectangle OCABO is equal to the sum of the two triangles (energy + coenergy), so:

Hence for at a given operating point with current i and flux linkage :

The self inductance is defined as flux linkage over current:

and the energy stored in a coil is:

In a magnetic circuit with a movable-armature the inductance  will be a function of position .

Therefore the field energy can be written as a function of two mathematically independent variables  and :

And the coenergy is a function of two independent variables  and :

The last two expressions are general equations for energy and coenergy in magnetostatic system.

Applications of coenergy theory 
The concept of coenergy is practically used for instance in finite element analysis for calculations of mechanical forces between magnetized parts.

TILEPro64. TILEPro64 is a VLIW ISA multicore processor (Tile processor) manufactured by Tilera. It consists of a cache-coherent mesh network of 64 "tiles", where each tile houses a general purpose processor, cache, and a non-blocking router, which the tile uses to communicate with the other tiles on the processor.

The short-pipeline, in-order, three-issue cores implement a VLIW instruction set. Each core has a register file and three functional units: two integer arithmetic logic units and a load–store unit. Each of the cores ("tile") has its own L1 and L2 caches plus an overall virtual L3 cache which is an aggregate of all the L2 caches. A core is able to run a full operating system on its own or multiple cores can be used to run a symmetrical multi-processing operating system.

TILEPro64 has four DDR2 controllers at up to 800MT/s, two 10-gigabit Ethernet XAUI interfaces, two four-lane PCIe interfaces, and a "flexible" input/output interface, which can be software-configured to handle a number of protocols. The processor is fabricated using a 90 nm process and runs at speeds of 600 to 866 MHz.

According to the company, Tilera targets the chip at networking equipment, digital video, and wireless infrastructure markets where the demands for computing processing are high. More recently, Tilera has positioned this processor in the cloud computing space with an 8-processor (512-core) 2U server built by Quanta Computer.

TILEPro was supported by the Linux kernel from version 2.6.36 to version 4.16.

Technology

Various sources have stated the specifications of processors in the TILEPro family:
 64 RISC processor cores
 16 KB L1 instruction and 8 KB L1 data cache per core
 64 KB L2 cache per core
 4 MB L3 cache is achieved through the sharing of other tiles L2 caches with hardware-managed coherency
 90 nm manufacturing process at TSMC
 4 integrated memory controllers supporting DDR2 SDRAM at up to 800MT/s
 supports up to 64 GB of attached DDR2 memory
 Integrated high-speed I/O
 Two 4-lane PCI Express Gen1 interfaces, with root or endpoint capability
 Two 10 Gbit/s Ethernet XAUI interfaces
 Two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet RGMII interfaces
 Power consumption in the range of 19 - 23 Watts

The TILEPro family incorporates a number of enhancements over Tilera's first generation TILE64 family:
 "Distributed Dynamic Cache" (DDC) system that uses a separate mesh network to manage cache-coherency
 "TileDirect" I/O enables direct transfer of network data coherently into the processor caches
 Double the L1 instruction cache (from 8 KB to 16 KB), double the L2 associativity
 Memory "striping" on the DDR2 interfaces to balance the loading
 Instruction set enhancements for multimedia, unaligned data access, offset load/store instructions and memory access hints

The networking software company 6WIND provides high-performance packet processing software for the TILEPro64 platform.

Tile processor. Tile processors for computer hardware, are multicore or manycore chips that contain one-dimensional, or more commonly, two-dimensional arrays of identical tiles. Each tile comprises a compute unit (or a processing engine or CPU), caches and a switch. Tiles can be viewed as adding a switch to each core, where a core comprises a compute unit and caches.

In a typical Tile Processor configuration, the switches in each of the tiles are connected to each other using one or more mesh networks. The Tilera TILEPro64, for example, contains 64 tiles. Each of the tiles comprises a CPU, L1 and L2 caches, and switches for several mesh networks.

Other processors in a tile configuration include SEAforth24, Kilocore KC256,  XMOS xCORE microcontrollers, and some massively parallel processor arrays.

Vossloh G1000 BB. The Vossloh G1000 BB is a class of off-centre cab diesel-hydraulic B'B' 4 axle locomotives built by Vossloh in Kiel since 2002. When operating under Swiss ownership the locomotives have received the class Am 842, several units owned by the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois are classified as CFL class 1100.

Design and specifications
The class is based upon the standard Vossloh locomotives design, and are a higher powered development of the Vossloh G800 BB which were produced mainly for the Austrian Federal Railways, with a  MTU engine replacing the  Caterpillar engine in the G800; as a result the front engine compartment is enlarged, whilst other features: bogie frame and overall dimensions remain the same.

The locomotives have been homologated for Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland.

Operators
The main lessors of the locomotives are Angel Trains Cargo (now Alpha Trains) and Vossloh Locomotives. Mitsui Rail Capital and Northrail also lease locomotives.

In Germany several units are operated by Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln and Chemion Logistiks GmbH., Eisenbahnen und Verkehrsbetriebe Elbe-Weser (EVB) operates two units. Single units are operated by Siegener Kreisbahn and Managementgesellschaft für Hafen und Markt mbH (HFM) (Frankfurt,

Six units are operated by the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL)

In Switzerland SBB Cargo has operated several of the class, and BLS Cargo one unit, where the locomotives are classified as type Am 842. A single unit is owned and operated by Tamoil (Switzerland) at the Raffinerie de Collombey.

In France EuroCargoRail (ECR) and Veolia Cargo France (since 2009 Europorte) both operate over 10 units, and COLAS Rail 2 units.

AKIEM/Société de Gestion et Valorisation de Matériel de Traction own 5 units for operation in Italy, since 2009 operated by Captrain Italia. Additionally Hupac S.p.A. (Italy) operates 3 units.

One unit is operated by Taraldsvik Maskin A/S in Norway.

Eagle One: Harrier Attack. Eagle One: Harrier Attack is a video game developed by Glass Ghost and published by Infogrames for the PlayStation in 2000.

Gameplay
Players assume the role of a United States Marine who pilots an AV-8B Harrier jet as well as five other aircraft including a UH-1 Huey helicopter and an A-10 Thunderbolt II. Approximately 80% of the single-player campaign is spent piloting the Harrier. The game's objective is to complete missions such as rescuing downed pilots and attacking terrorist targets. Four modes of play are available, a single-player mode, a co-operative two-player mode, a competitive two-player mode and a training mode to accustom the player to the plane's controls. The game's 25 single-player levels take place throughout the Hawaii island chain, and typically involve low-level flight below an altitude of 100 feet. The co-operative mode features 5 missions.

Plot
A group of terrorists calling themselves the Army of the New Millennium (ANM) has armed itself with Soviet weapons technology and declared war on the United States of America, with a stated aim of "freeing the world from the grasp of the American war machine." They have attacked the islands of Hawaii with their electromagnetic pulse weapon to knock out all the electrical devices on the islands. Having accomplished this, the group has moved the weapon to a Soviet aircraft carrier and intends to continue their attacks. In response, a U.S. Marine pilot is dispatched in an AV-8B Harrier in order to liberate all five Hawaiian islands in the chain.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Rick Sanchez of NextGen called it "a well-rounded action title that will keep you glued to your game pad, even if you're not a flight-sim buff." However, GamePro said, "This game balances pseudo-realism with enough action to satisfy arcade-shooter fans, but flight sim vets will be disappointed by Eagle Ones lack of depth."

Gobotron. Gobotron is the solo side project of Manchester Orchestra's lead guitarist and backing vocalist, Charles Robert "Robot" McDowell. His debut album On Your Mark, Get Set... was released on January 19, 2010, through Manchester Orchestra's own label Favorite Gentlemen Recordings.

History
Upon returning from Manchester Orchestra's 2008 headlining tour in the summer of 2008, Robert McDowell has decided to start working on his own solo material in his parents' house in Atlanta, Georgia. He was anxious to move into a new direction and create something different than the music he had made working with the band.

McDowell decided to call his solo project by the name Gobotron. The Gobotron moniker comes from the initial nickname “Robot” given to McDowell years ago as a play on words with Robert, that evolved into Robo, Robo Cop, Robotron, Robby Robot, Rorby, Gorby, Gorbatraz and many more before ultimately and finally graduating into Gobotron. The album title is inspired from a dream he had after watching The Simpsons one night. "I was falling asleep, drifting in and out. The episode mixed in with one of my dreams and made me think of the title. I woke up laughing and wrote it down. It's nothing deep, it just made sense for the album title."

McDowell wrote, played and recorded a whole album worth of material during the summer of 2008, before Manchester Orchestra was going into another short tour and pre-production for their next album, which has become 2009's critically successful Mean Everything to Nothing. Of the album's sound, McDowell has said he was influenced by artists ranging from Ben Kweller to Brian Wilson, and features mostly a pop rock sound. Since he had no time to keep working on his own material due to the Manchester Orchestra schedule, he delayed the project until the summer of 2009, when his album was finally mixed and mastered, a whole year after being recorded.

The debut album, entitled On Your Mark, Get Set... was finally released on January 19, 2010, through Manchester Orchestra's label, Favorite Gentlemen Recordings.

Robert McDowell (as Gobotron) made his debut live solo appearance in October 2010, as a supporting act touring with Bad Books, a supergroup he is also a part of, on their 4 date East Coast promotional tour for their self-titled debut album. He has also supported Kevin Devine and Andy Hull on their acoustic five date tour in December 2010, which was also in support of the Bad Books debut album, though neither McDowell nor the full band joined Devine and Hull on these dates.

On June 10, 2016 the second album, "Transform" was released on bandcamp.

Nike PUL 9. The Nike PUL 9 is an Argentine experimental tailless aircraft powered by a Rotax 447 engine.

Design and development
The PUL 9 had its origins in Argentina, the home of the German flying wing pioneer Reimar Horten since 1948.  In late 1989 a collaboration between Horten and Siegfried Panek produced a design for a single seat, single pusher engine tailless aircraft.  The name was an acronym of Panek UltraLight, with 9 the span in metres.  Construction began near Frankfurt, Germany in January 1990 but was transferred to the Italian company Nike Aeronautica in the spring. The PUL 9 first flew on 22 June 1990.

It had 30° of sweep on the leading edges of its thick (thickness/chord ratio 20%), symmetric aerofoil, wings, built using carbon fibre and Kevlar with glassfibre for the spars. The wingtips were rounded, with washout. Elevons controlled both pitch and roll; there was no vertical stabilizing surface, rudder or separate tailplane.

Like some of Horten's tailless gliders, the I.Ae. 34 Clen Antú for example, the PUL 9 had a well defined, though short, fuselage or pod. This was a deep steel tube structure starting about mid-chord and extending well behind the trailing edge, with a single seat open cockpit at the front and a 42 hp (31 kW) Rotax 447 two cylinder two-stroke engine in pusher mode behind.  The main wheels of the PUL 9's fixed tricycle undercarriage were also mounted on the steel frame, with the nosewheel attached near the leading edge.  The undercarriage used rubber cord shock absorbers and drum brakes.

The PUL 9 is reported to have flown several times and handled well.  By the end of 1991 attention had turned to a two-seat version, the Nike PUL 10.
