IRNSS-1I. IRNSS-1I is an Indian navigational satellite that forms part of the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System. IRNSS-1I is the ninth satellite launched for the IRNSS constellation and one of five IRNSS satellites currently operational. The satellite is intended to replace the failed IRNSS-1A, and complete the constellation of geosynchronous navigation satellites after IRNSS-1H failed to do so. The satellite's assembly, integration and testing is partly done by a consortium of six small firms led by Alpha Design Technologies, a Bengaluru-based aerospace firm under URSC's supervision.

Payload
Like its predecessor, IRNSS-1I has two types of payloads, navigation payload and the ranging payload. The navigation payload transmits navigation service signals to the users. This payload is operating in L5 band and S band. A highly accurate rubidium atomic clock is part of the navigation payload of the satellite; failure of these rubidium atomic clocks was the reason IRNSS-1A was deemed unfit. The ranging payload consists of transponder which is operated in CDMA mode for two-way range measurements. The IRNSS satellites continuously emits time stamped navigation signals, which are received by the ground-based user receivers. The information is then processed by the receivers to derive their own position, velocity and time. The system provides seamless, uninterrupted services under all weather conditions.

Satellite
The satellite will help in completing the satellite based navigation system of India which is currently under development. The IRNSS space segment consists of seven satellites. After the failure of all three rubidium Atomic clocks on-board IRNSS-1A and the failure of IRNSS-1H to separate from the heat shield of the launch vehicle, IRNSS constellation remains incomplete without this satellite.

Launch
IRNSS-1I was successfully launched aboard the 43rd flight of PSLV (PSLV-C41) on 11 April 2018.

Transitron Electronic Corporation. Transitron Electronic Corporation was a semiconductor device fabrication  company of the United States. It was founded by Leo and David Bakalar incorporated in Wakefield, Massachusetts, in 1952. David Bakalar was the president from 1952 to 1984. In 1986 the company went out of business, failing to keep pace with the rapid advances in technology.

History
The company was established at the time of the economic boom in Massachusetts. Its first successful product was  the gold bonded germanium diode, widely used in computers, military equipment, etc. After that the company manufactured silicon rectifiers (which David claims were the world's first ones),  grown junction silicon NPN transistors, silicon diodes, germanium diodes, silicon/germanium micro-diodes, silicon references, silicon regulators, silicon controlled rectifiers, bilateral switching diodes,  etc.

At its heyday Transitron employed 1,600 people.  In 1959 Time Magazine reported it was number 3 American semiconductor company, after Texas Instruments and General Electric, while  Fortune Magazine placed it at number 2, with estimated 1959 sales of $40 million. A number of senior industry persons, including Wilfred Corrigan, Dave Fullagar, Pierre Lamond, Nick DeWolf, George Wells, and  Thomas Longo used to work in Transitron.

In December 1959 the company went public, with IPO of 1,000,000 shares  at $36 each. The first week closed at $43 per share.

After going out of business, David Bakalar devoted his time to sculpture; see Renaissance (1989) and TV Man or Five Piece Cube with Strange Hole (1993).

Solvated metal atom dispersion. Solvated Metal Atom Dispersion is a method of producing highly reactive solvated nanoparticles. Samples of a metal (or ceramic) are heated to evaporate free atoms (or species), as in PVD evaporation. This vapor is then co-deposited with a suitable organic solvent (e.g. toluene) at very low temperatures (on the order of 70K) to form a solid mixture of the two. This is then warmed towards room temperature, producing solvated metal atoms or (over time) larger clusters. Sometimes, catalyst supports (such as SiO2 or Al2O3) are added to improve nucleation, as the process can more readily take place on surface OH groups.

Albany and Hudson Electric Railway. [[File:The street railway review (1891) (14761378642).jpg|thumb|Summer car by Wason Manufacturing Co.<ref name="SRR">[https://archive.org/stream/streetrailwayrev10amer/streetrailwayrev10amer#page/614/mode/1up New Cars for Albany & Hudson Railway & Power Co.] In: Street Railway Review, Vol. 10., No 10, 15 October 1900, p. 614-615.</ref>]]

The Albany & Hudson Electric Railway, or the Albany & Hudson Railway & Power Company, was a  long electric railway in New York State. It operated from 1899 to 1929 between Hudson and Albany. It had stops in 14 villages and at an amusement park on the shore of Kinderhook Lake. The company was created in 1899 by merging three railways as well as several power companies. The railway companies involved were:

 , a street railway in Hudson
 , a steam railroad between Hudson and Niverville
 , an electric railway from Kinderhook and Hudson to Rensselaer and Albany

The line was completed and inaugurated in November 1900 as the first third-rail interurban line in the United States. Due to financial difficulties it was reorganized in 1902 as the Albany and Hudson Railroad (not Railway), and again in 1909 as the Albany Southern Railroad.  In 1924, the line was taken over by Eastern New York Utilities Corp until being decommissioned in 1929.

Much of the route became a part of the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail'', a section of the Empire State Trail, which opened at the end of 2020. Extended sections of the trail are off-road rail trail paths.

Patton Motor Company. The Patton Motor Company was a street car manufacturer in Chicago.

History 
The Patton Motor Company was based in 340 and 342 Dearborn St., Chicago, where it manufactured around 1898 patented electric street cars. These were used as a feeder for trolley lines, for nightwork or for long distance work. They were particularly adapted for service where, because of operating expense, the trolley equipment was unsatisfactory. They required no poles, no wires, no power house, no bonding of rails but only ordinary track. The company guaranteed to provide street car service under average conditions for less than two cents per car mile for power.

A gasoline engine was used to drive a dynamo, which in turn operated the electric motor. The principal claim of the inventor was the use of a storage battery, which accumulated the power of the dynamo, when on a down grade, or at rest, and which was automatically connected in to assist when the work was heavy.

The gasoline was stored in a tank in the roof of the car. The tank capacity of 23 gallons (87 litres) was sufficient for . During a trial run at Racine, Wisconsin on 8 July 1896 over the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad the car attained at times speeds of  and surmounted grades of up to 55 feet to the mile (10%) without difficulty beyond perceptibly slowing down.

The motor cars were used as a smoking car and motor at the Chattagnooga Rapid Transit Company and as an independent motor by the Cedar Falls (Iowa) & Normal Railway. A combination double truck car was also on offer.

Omaha and Southern Interurban Railway. The Omaha & Southern Interurban Railway Company built and operated around 1907 an interurban railway from South Omaha, Nebraska, to Belleview College and Fort Crook,  south.

Route 
The chosen route required a large amount of grading. For the entire length of the line cuts averaged about 40,000 cu. yds. per mile ( per km), and for several miles the road was a succession of cuts and fills. The deepest cut was midway of the line and was  deep. Owing to the peculiar holding qualities of the clay in which the cuts were made, the slope of the banks was made ¼ to 1, which is quite in contrast to the practice of 1½ to 1 elsewhere. R. N. Towl, of Omaha was in charge of the construction.

The line was planned to be extended to Plattsmouth, about  south of Fort Crook, the initial southern terminus. This fort was a government post, and usually four or five companies were stationed at it. The line was built on private right of way  wide. Fills for single track were  wide at the top and cuts were  wide at the bottom. Oak ties and 70-lb. per yard (35 kg/m) rails were used.

Electric infrastructure 
Span trolley construction was employed. The poles, which were of cedar, were spaced  apart, and those on one side of the track were high enough to carry high-tension cross-arms. The butts were treated with a tar compound, the bi-product obtained in the manufacture of artificial gas. A lightning arrester was installed every quarter mile.

Initially, power was obtained direct from the direct-current power house of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street 
Railway Company. As the terminus of the line is  from the power house, a booster was employed, which raised the voltage at the power house to 825 Volts. The booster set consisted of two 100-kW Edison bi-polar generators. The winding of the one serving as a motor was unchanged. The voltage of the other has been halved and the amperage doubled by connecting the armature leads so as to give two independent circuits paralleled by the brushes. Plans contemplated a sub-station in South Omaha for the city lines and power for the interurban line to be obtained from this.

Operation 
An hourly service was ordinarily maintained by one car, but during the summer season three were scheduled to be operated. The cars used were  long, seated forty-four people, and were equipped with four G. E. 67 motors. They were maintained in the shops of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway.

306th Intelligence Squadron. The United States Air Force's  306th Intelligence Squadron (306 IS) is an intelligence unit located at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, Oklahoma. It oversees advanced technical training and initial qualification of airborne intelligence operators preparing to support Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC).

Mission
The 306 Intelligence Squadron trains and qualifies Airborne Cryptologic Operators to execute Special Operations missions worldwide.

History
The 306 IS was originally activated on 5 October 2012 to support Air Combat Command's (ACC) then-new MC-12W Liberty Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance aircraft. As the unit grew in strength and technical expertise, it also became responsible for an advanced portion of the initial training for many airborne intelligence operators prior to either remaining at Beale AFB or proceeding to a follow-on assignment to support Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Eventually, ACC drew the MC-12W program to a close and relocated the aircraft, transferring them to either the U.S. Army or U.S. Special Operations Command. On 6 March 2017, the 306 IS officially relocated to Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, Oklahoma, expanding its training mission to encompass all airborne intelligence operators supporting AFSOC aircraft and reuniting with the MC-12W Liberty aircraft based there under the 137th Special Operations Wing.
