Sydney Crookshank. Major-General Sir Sydney D'Aguilar Crookshank  (3 June 1870 – 17 August 1941) was a British military engineer who served with the Royal Engineers in the British Army and the British Indian Army.  Most of his early career was spent in colonial service; he later served as a senior officer during the First World War.

As a temporary lieutenant colonel he was Commander, Royal Engineers (CRE), of 47th (1/2nd London) Division on the Western Front from 30 July 1915 to 27 November 1916. On 21 May 1916 in the Vimy sector the Germans fired a mine and attacked the division's positions in overwhelming numbers. The situation was so critical for a while that Crookshank brought his Sappers of 47th (2nd London) Divisional Engineers up to man the trenches as infantry. He was awarded a Distinguished Service Order on 3 June 1916. In January 1917 he was promoted to the temporary rank of brigadier general and made a chief engineer of XV Corps.

Later, as a major general he was appointed Director-General (Transportation) of the British Armies in France on 19 March 1918.

After the war, Crookshank was appointed Honorary Colonel of 47th (2nd London) Divisional Engineers on 3 March 1923.

Nylon rope trick. The nylon rope trick is a scientific demonstration that illustrates some of the fundamental chemical principles of step-growth polymerization and provides students and other observers with a hands-on demonstration of the preparation of a synthetic polymer.

The nylon rope trick typically makes use of a water solution of an aliphatic diamine with a solution of an aliphatic diacid chloride in a solvent that does not dissolve in water, yielding a synthetic polyamide of the nylon-type. Nylon 610 is commonly used, in which hexamethylene diamine is dissolved in water to a concentration of about 0.40 moles / deciliter.  A solution of sebacoyl chloride in cyclohexane (0.15 moles / deciliter concentration) is then layered on top of the water solution, the reaction typically being conducted in a beaker.  The solution is not agitated; instead the nylon 610 polymer forms as a flexible film at the interface of the water and cyclohexane layers, in an example of an interfacial polymerization. The experimentalist grasps the polymer film, withdrawing it from the reaction vessel, forming a filament or rope, and collecting it on a rotating rod above the reaction vessel.  New polymer forms at the interface as fresh surfaces of the cyclohexane layer and the water layer form.  In this way, the demonstration yields a continuous rope that is collected on the rotating rod. Nylon 66 can also be produced at laboratory scale in this way.

Representative procedures and equipment lists for conducting the nylon rope trick demonstration are available in literature procedures.

The nylon rope trick was developed as a scientific demonstration by American chemist Stephanie Kwolek, who later invented Kevlar aramid.

Methoxyamine. Methoxyamine is the organic compound with the formula CH3ONH2.  Also called O-methylhydroxylamine, it is a colourless volatile liquid that is soluble in polar organic solvent and in water. It is a derivative of hydroxylamine with the hydroxyl hydrogen replaced by a methyl group. Alternatively, it can be viewed as a derivative of methanol with the hydroxyl hydrogen replaced by an amino group. It is an isomer of N-methylhydroxylamine and aminomethanol. It decomposes in an exothermic reaction (-56 kJ/mol) to methane and azanone unless stored as a hydrochloride salt.

Synthesis
Methoxyamine is prepared via O-alkylation of hydroxylamine derivatives.  For example, it is obtained by O-methylation of acetone oxime followed by hydrolysis of the O-methylated oxime:
(CH3)2CNOCH3   +  H2O   →   (CH3)2CO  +  H2NOCH3

The other broad method involves methanolysis of hydroxylamine sulfonates: 
H2NOSO3−   +  CH3OH   →  H2NOCH3  +  HSO4−

Reactions
Analogous to the behavior of hydroxylamine, methoxyamine condenses with ketones and aldehydes to give imines.

Methoxyamine is used as a synthon for NH2+.  It undergoes deprotonation by methyl lithium to give CH3ONHLi.  This N-lithio derivative is attacked by organolithium compounds to give, after hydrolysis, amines:
 H2NOCH3  +  CH3Li   →    LiHNOCH3  +  CH4
 LiHNOCH3  +  RLi   →    RNHLi  +  LiOCH3
 RNHLi  +  H2O   →   RNH2  +  LiOH

Uses
Methoxyamine has potential medicinal uses. It covalently binds to apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) DNA damage sites and inhibits base excision repair (BER), which may result in an increase in DNA strand breaks and apoptosis.This agent may potentiate the anti-tumor activity of alkylating agents.  

Examples of drugs incorporating the methoxyamine unit are brasofensine and gemifloxacin.

N-Methylhydroxylamine. N-Methylhydroxylamine or methylhydroxylamine is a hydroxylamine derivative with a methyl group replacing one of the hydrogens of the amino group. It is an isomer of methoxyamine and aminomethanol. It decomposes in an exothermic reaction (-63 kJ/mol) into methane and azanone unless stored as a hydrochloride salt.

The compound is commercially available as its hydrochloride salt. This can be produced by electrochemical reduction of nitromethane in hydrochloric acid using a copper anode and a graphite cathode.

AC50. The AC50 (defined in the America's Cup rules as AC Class yacht, or ACC) was a wingsail catamaran development rule that governed the construction of the yachts used in the 2017 Louis Vuitton Cup and the 2017 America's Cup. Like the larger AC72s used in the 2013 America's Cup, AC50s used L-shaped daggerboard stabilizers as well as T-shaped rudder elevators that were able to generate enough lift to allow the boats to exit displacement mode in winds in excess of 7kt. Prototype versions of crossbeams, wingsails, appendages, as well as steering and trimming systems had been tested by all syndicates on AC45 platforms as surrogate yachts before building their AC50. The class allowed hydraulic control of the wingsails and appendages. Motors and computer automation was banned in the class. Each challenger team was only allowed to build one AC50 for competition and only six boats were built. The class was replaced with the monohull AC75 after the 2017 America's Cup.

The class achieved a maximum peak speed of  over the water, recorded by ACRM telemetry aboard Sweden's Magic Blue.

The 2017 America's Cup class winning boat, designed by a team led by Daniel Bernasconi and sailed by Team New Zealand, featured a distinct polyhedral daggerboard stabilizer and pedal-powered hydraulics to control its 24m high fixed-wing mainsail; four crew providing the power from cycling stations in each hull instead of grinding winches by hand.

The AC50 design was developed into the one design F50 class used for the SailGP competition.

Juggling robot. A juggling robot is a robot designed to be able to successfully carry out bounce or toss juggling. Robots capable of juggling are designed and built both to increase and test understanding and theories of human movement, juggling, and robotics. Juggling robots may include sensors to guide arm/hand movement or may rely on physical methods such as tracks or funnels to guide prop movement. Since true juggling requires more props than hands, many robots described as capable of juggling are not.

Bounce juggling
A toss juggling robot that can do more than a two ball column has only recently been built. However, Claude Shannon built the first juggling robot, a 3-ball bounce juggler, from an Erector Set, in the 1970s. "Bounce juggling is easier to accomplish than is toss juggling because the balls are grabbed at the top of their trajectories, when they are moving the slowest," and Shannon's machine tendency to correct throwing errors was through tracks on its hands. By 1992, Christopher G. Atkeson and Stefan K. Schaal of the Georgia Institute of Technology built a similar 5-ball bounce juggling robot. Decorated as and named W. C. Fields, Shannon's machine used grooved cups/tracks instead of sensors or feedback. Shannon also devised a juggling theorem.

In 1989 Martin Bühler and Daniel E. Koditschek produced a juggler with one rotating bar, moving one way then the other, that bounces two-props in a fountain of indefinite length.

Toss juggling
Sakaguchi et al. (1991) and Miyazaki (1993) produced a one-armed two-ball fountain juggler with a two degrees of freedom arm and an unactuated funnel-shaped hand. Kizaki and Namiki (2012) developed a high-speed hand-arm system with actuated fingers that is able to repeatedly juggle two balls in a fountain pattern. Ploeger et al. (2020) achieved stable two-ball juggling in a column pattern for 33 minutes on a four degrees of freedom robotic arm with a funnel-shaped hand using a learning based approach.

By 2011 students at the Department of Control Engineering at Prague's Czech Technical University built a 5-ball cascade juggling robot whose arms have both vertical and horizontal motion, whose hands are ring-shaped, and which contains a basket that provides the initial throws and relaunches any failed catches.

Disney Research is developing a robot capable of pass juggling with the goal of being able to provide more physical interaction between visitors and mechanized characters.

Contact juggling
Contact juggling appears to be less common among robots, as it is with people. However, in 2010 undergraduates at Northwestern University developed a robot capable of rolling a grooved disk from the center, over the edge, and to the center of the other side of a figure-eight shaped track capable of rotation.

Rangil water treatment plant. Rangil water treatment plant is situated on rangil mountain of Ganderbal district about 21 km from commercial centre of Kashmir.
 The water project was inaugurated by Farooq Abdullah on 15 March 2010 and its cost was estimated as Rs 31 crore.

Construction

The project was completed by Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) and was handed over to Public Health Engineering department of Kashmir on the same day. The main aim of the project was to provide fresh drinking water to the people of Srinagar. The construction company under Rangil water supply project has liad 51.63 km long pipeline which has been tested for efficiency across the city .

Features
The filtration plant has water storing capacity of 10 MGD (million gallons per day). The water in the plant comes from Sind River which runs through the heart of Ganderbal district. The water treatment plant is also installed with electromagnetic and mechanical flow meters at the control room of the plant and at bifurcation points  to regulate water supply as per demand.

Treatment process
The water entering the plant at the first place undergoes screening and after that alum is added to aid sedimentation.  The setter water enters  10 filtration units from where it is transported for disinfection using chlorine in disinfection unit. The water thus obtained is stored in storage reserviours for supply purposes.

De Windhond. De Windhond is a windmill in the city of Woerden, Netherlands. The mill was built in 1755 on an artificial hill of  in height that was part of the defensive enclosure (stadswal) of the ancient city. The mill itself is  high. The windmill sail spans .

The building is a prominent feature defining the skyline of the town. It is registered as a national monument.

History 
When the mill was built, it replaced an older mill that was on the same location. In 1877 the mill got a steam engine and in 1901 a gas turbine. In 1984 the mill was restructured, to be used as gristmill, and although the gas turbine still works today, the mill is usually operated by wind. The interior of the mill is pretty much in an original state, and until 2011 the miller lived in the house at the foot. The municipality of Woerden has owned the windmill since 1977.
