Birds in a truck riddle. The birds in a truck riddle is a riddle that asks whether a container or a truck carrying birds changes in weight when the birds inside are flying.

The television series MythBusters investigated the question in a 2007 episode, testing it both with a box of pigeons and again with a model helicopter. They concluded that the contents being in flight made no difference to the weight, and theorised that the downdraft of air from the wings or rotors pressed down against the base of the box with the same force as the resting bird or helicopter.

A drone research team from Stanford University measured the forces involved in a bird's hovering and found that it created "double the lift during the downstroke [of the wings] so that the birds did not have to lift their weight during the upstroke", with the amount of lift on the upstroke being "almost none". They concluded that a truck containing a few birds would fluctuate in weight over time, but a larger flock flapping at random would cancel one another and leave the truck's weight unaffected.

IMPACT (computer graphics). IMPACT (sometimes spelled Impact) is a computer graphics architecture for Silicon Graphics computer workstations. IMPACT Graphics was developed in 1995 and was available as a high-end graphics option on workstations released during the mid-1990s. IMPACT graphics gives the workstation real-time 2D and 3D graphics rendering capability similar to that of even high-end PCs made well after IMPACT's introduction. IMPACT graphics systems consist of either one or two Geometry Engines and one or two Raster Engines in various configurations.

IMPACT graphics consists of five graphics subsystems: the Command Engine, Geometry Subsystem, Raster Engine, framebuffer and Display Subsystem. IMPACT Graphics can produce resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels with 32-bit color and can also process unencoded NTSC and PAL analog television signals. 

IMPACT graphics subsystems come in three configurations for SGI Indigo2 IMPACT workstations: Solid IMPACT, High IMPACT, and Maximum IMPACT. The equivalent configurations also exist for the SGI Octane workstation but are referred to as SI, SSI, and MXI (I-series). Later Octane workstations used a similar configuration but with updated ASIC chips and are referred to as SE, SSE, and MXE (E-series). IMPACT uses Rambus RDRAM for texture memory.

The IMPACT graphics architecture was superseded by SGI's VPro graphics architecture in 1997.

Floating building. A floating building is a building unit with a flotation system at its base, to allow it to float on water.  It is common to define such a building as being "permanently moored" and not usable in navigation.  Floating buildings are usually towed into location by another ship and are unable to move under their own power.

Floating buildings have environmental benefits such as unsusceptibility to changes in sea level, and minimisation of disturbance to the ecology of the harbour or seabed.  They can be built off-site and then towed into location, minimising disturbance to the build site.  If the building is decommissioned, it can be relocated elsewhere.

Paper Bicycle. Paper Bicycle is a Scottish bicycle manufacturer based in Ayrshire.  It is also the name of the bicycle that the company produces.  This is derived from the fact that the original prototype had its chaincase panels covered with wallpaper.

The Paper Bicycle company was founded to develop a prototype that had been rejected by the Royal Mail as a replacement for the Pashley Mailstar.  Part of the design brief had been to develop a bicycle that would fit 'everyone'.  The result was a bicycle without a top tube or seat stays.  Instead, horizontal rigidity was achieved by an additional 'chaincase' on the non-drive side of the frame.

The Paper Bicycle utilizes a powder-coated cromo-steel frame that is fabricated in Taiwan and finished in Scotland.  The frame's design is licensed to the Swiss company Velobility who use it as the basis for bicycle share schemes in cities across Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

HMS Gleaner (J83). HMS Gleaner was one of 21 s built for the Royal Navy in the 1930s.

Design and description
The Halcyon class designed as a replacement for the preceding Hunt class and varied in size and propulsion. Gleaner displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. The ship had an overall length of , a beam of  and a draught of .

She was powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of  and gave a maximum speed of . Gleaner carried a maximum of  of fuel oil that gave her a range of  at . The ship's complement consisted of 80 officers and ratings.

Gleaner was armed with two QF 4-inch (10.2 cm) anti-aircraft guns. She was also equipped with eight  machine guns. Later in her career, the rear 4-inch gun mount was removed as were most of the .303 machine guns, one quadruple mount for Vickers .50 machine guns was added as were up to four single or twin mounts for 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns. For escort work, her minesweeping gear could be exchanged for around 40 depth charges.

Construction and career
Gleaner was completed by William Gray & Company, Hartlepool, as a survey vessel, but she was converted into a minesweeper when the war began.

On 12 February 1940, Gleaner sank German U-boat U-33 () using depth charges and deck gun. The captain was Lt.Cdr. H. P. Price, RN.  The British seized some materials from the U-boat, including Enigma machine rotors VI and VII, whose wirings were unknown at the time.  The seizure was one of the "pinches" that aided the cryptanalysis of the Enigma.

The British merchant ship Astra II was torpedoed and sunk. The ship rescued 20 survivors on 29 August 1940 (). Gleaner rescued 68 survivors from the torpedoed Empire Tourist on 4 March 1944 (). She was sold for scrap in 1950.
