Stakalloy. Stakalloy is a ternary alloy of uranium composed of vanadium, niobium, and depleted uranium. The alloy was developed in 2002 by Michael R. Staker of Loyola University Maryland under grant from the United States Army.

Composition 
The niobium content of stakalloy is between 0.01 and 0.95 percent by weight and the balance being uranium. The vanadium content of the alloy is between the gamma eutectoid and the eutectic compositions, 1.0 percent and 4.5 percent by weight respectively.

Properties 
Stakalloy has improved metallurgical properties over other depleted uranium alloys, such as staballoy, being more viable as a structural alloy where a combination between high strength and high density is required. Changes include that of density, hardness, ballistic properties, and machinability.

Production 

Staker's invention of stakalloy involved reducing excessive carbon levels while adding together uranium with trace amounts of niobium and vanadium. The three constituent parts may be combined through melting, however, the niobium and vanadium must be charged into the melt or introduced to additional melt stock before heat-up.

Arc melting is also a melting technique noted by Staker, in which niobium is added to an alloy of vanadium and uranium from a crucible.

After casting an ingot of stakalloy, the ingot can be used in the as-cast condition or be worked—either hot or cold—to change both properties and shape. Stakalloy can also be heat-treated after manipulation of shape.

Uses 

Stakalloy may be a viable replacement for the United States Army's Advanced Kinetic Energy round. In 2007, Army Solicitation Notice W911QX-07-T-0053 entitled "Processing U-V-X Alloy Ingots" outlined work at Aerojet producing promising alloys with interesting material properties for future testing at the Army Research Laboratories.

Power Surfacing. Power Surfacing is a computer-aided design software that allows users to create and edit complex freeform surfaces in SOLIDWORKS. It is developed by nPower Software, a division of IntegrityWare Inc., and is available as an add-in for SOLIDWORKS.

Overview 
Power Surfacing uses subdivision surface (Sub-D) modeling and Non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) modeling methods together, to provide a flexible and intuitive way of designing organic shapes with high quality class A surfaces. Users can create and manipulate Sub-D models inside SOLIDWORKS, and convert them to NURBS models that are compatible with SOLIDWORKS features and commands. Power Surfacing also supports reverse engineering of scanned meshes with Power Surfacing RE, a separate add-in that can reconstruct Sub-D models from polygonal meshes.

Power Surfacing is designed for industrial design, product design, automotive design, jewelry design, and other applications that require complex freeform surfaces. It aims to simplify the design process and reduce the editing time for organic shapes, compared to traditional surface creation methods. It also provides video tutorials and examples to help users learn how to use the software effectively.

Features 
Some of the features of Power Surfacing include:

 Subdivision surface creation and editing inside of SOLIDWORKS
 Import of Sub-D meshes from modo, 3ds Max, etc.
 Intuitive on-screen editing with push-pull methodology
 Supports downstream features like fillet, shell, cut, extrude
 Creates high quality class A surfaces by default
 Tightly integrated with SOLIDWORKS, works with all SOLIDWORKS commands
 Reverse engineer scanned meshes with Power Surfacing RE

Usage 
Power Surfacing functions as a generative design tool, generating iterative, evolutionary results based on initial constraints.

This tool is commonly used to optimize manufacturing processes for parts in various industries, such as automotive, packaging design, and medical implants.

Power Surfacing can also reverse-engineer the shapes of 3D-scanned objects and recreate their geometry algorithmically, facilitating reproduction through industrial production processes. This capability can be employed to digitally replicate physical aspects of human anatomy, such as bones, and modify the model to produce precise-fitting physical Prosthesis for patients.

Oleksandr Ivchenko. Oleksandr Georgiyowych Ivchenko (, ,  ; born  in Tokmak; died 30 June 1968 in Zaporizhzhia) was a Soviet aircraft engine design engineer.

Life
In 1920 Ivchenko began an apprenticeship in a metal foundry. He later completed his studies at the Institute for Mechanical Engineering in Kharkiv, which he left in 1935 as a designer for internal combustion engines. He became a test bench engineer for aircraft engines at Plant No. 29 in Zaporizhzhi. Shortly thereafter he was transferred to the development department for piston engines, where he soon became chief designer.

In 1939, the development of the engine type M-89 was agreed, which was to deliver 1500 hp, however Plant No. 29 was transferred to Siberia. Ivchenko concentrated on the preparations for the series production of the ASch-82FN engine type, which was also intended for the Lavochkin La-5.

In 1945, again in Zaporizhzhia, he became chief designer in Development Office No. 478, and in 1963 he became its general designer. In the period from 1945 to 1968, this development office created designs for engines that were used throughout the Soviet aviation industry, but also in naval technology. In addition to piston engines (such as: AI-26, AI-10, AI-12, AI-14 ), this also included gas turbines for aircraft (TS-12F, AI-2MK, AI-8, AI-20K, AI-20K, I-24) and helicopters (AI-4B, AI-26B, AI-14B, AI-7, AI-8, AI-24B, TB-2BK). On a smaller scale, small engines were also developed, for example for chainsaws or snowmobiles.

Ivchenko was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR and received numerous orders and awards, such as the USSR State Prize in 1948, the Lenin Prize in 1960 and the title of Hero of Socialist Labour in 1963.

LTG FD 1. 

The LTG FD 1 was a single-seat floatplane fighter built for the Imperial German Navy's () Naval Air Service () by  (LTG) during World War I. Only six prototypes were built in 1917–1918 and are not known to have served on active duty.

Development and description
LTG was founded in early 1915 to develop air-launched torpedoes and gradually expanded into sub-contracting aircraft components. It received an order for three prototypes (Marine numbers 1299–1301) for a floatplane fighter on 8 February 1917 that used a  Benz Bz.III engine that drove the two-bladed propeller through a Loeb geared transmission. The first airframe for static testing was delivered three months later and was destroyed during the process. The second aircraft was delivered in July, but flight testing showed it lacked maneuverability and longitudinal stability. As a result, the third prototype was sent back to the factory on 7 September. A version with conventional landing gear was tested at Johannisthal around this time. 

In March 1918, the aircraft passed its static testing, and another batch of three prototypes (Marine numbers 1518–1520) was made. However, due to necessary changes, such as enlarging the vertical stabilizer, deliveries were delayed until July. They were still undergoing testing when the war ended in November and are not known to have served on active duty. When the Allies inspected the German seaplane bases in December, they recorded four surviving FD 1s at Hage. The fates of the FD 1s are unknown, but they were most likely scrapped.
