Fisher FP-606 Sky Baby. The Fisher FP-606 Sky Baby is a Canadian single-seat, conventional landing gear or tricycle landing gear-equipped, single-engined, high-wing monoplane kit aircraft designed for construction by amateur builders. Fisher Flying Products was originally based in Edgeley, North Dakota, United States, but the company is now located in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada.

Development
The FP-606 was designed by Fisher Aircraft in the United States in 1986 and was intended to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category, with the category's maximum  empty weight. The 606's standard empty weight is  when equipped with a two-stroke  Hirth F-33 engine. The design goal was to provide an ultralight version of the Cessna 150 or Cessna 152, including its looks, styling features and docile handling. To this end the 606 incorporates the 150's Omni-Vision style rear window and the swept fin found on post-1965 Cessna 150s. The wings are the same design as the Fisher FP-202 Koala with modified wingtips.

The construction of the FP-606 is of wood, with the fuselage built from wood strips arranged in a geodesic form, resulting in a very strong and light aircraft with redundant load paths. The wings, tail and fuselage are covered with doped aircraft fabric. Like the Cessna 150, the 606's wings are strut-braced, but where the 150 uses a single strut, the FP-606 incorporates a "V" strut with "N" jury struts. Also unlike the 150, which has large and powerful flaps, the 606 has no flaps. The FP-606 can be fitted with either conventional-configuration (taildragger) or tricycle-style landing gear, which is bungee suspended in either configuration. The FP-606 has a single door for pilot access, that can be removed for flight. The company claims an amateur builder would need 500 hours to build the FP-606.

The US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicle category version of the FP-606 requires a light weight powerplant, such as the originally specified, but now out-of-production  Rotax 277 or the current  Hirth F-33. Amateur-built category versions can be powered by the  Rotax 447 or  Rotax 503 engines.

The FP-606 won the Experimental Aircraft Association's Best New Design Award for light planes in 1988. By late 2011 more than 15 FP-606s were flying.

Turn and Burn: No-Fly Zone. Turn and Burn: No-Fly Zone is a jet flight simulator from Absolute Entertainment for the Super NES, released in 1994. It is the sequel to Turn and Burn: The F-14 Dogfight Simulator, a Game Boy game which also featured the F-14 Tomcat aircraft. An enhanced port of this game was released as F-14 Tomcat on Game Boy Advance. A Sega Mega Drive version was planned but never released.

Gameplay

This game is played in first-person perspective, inside the cockpit. The player has on the beginning of every mission to launch from an aircraft carrier and has to land on it on the end of every mission as well.

While on air, the player will receive their objective, which consists of taking down enemy jets and/or enemy bases on small islands. The player has three types of missiles and a cannon to destroy the enemy jets. Each missile differs on range, accuracy and speed. To destroy the enemy bases, the player can only use the cannon.

On later missions with an increasing number of targets, the player's limited fuel and ammunition supplies becomes a factor. It is possible to refuel the jet while on air, attaching to a bigger aircraft sent by the aircraft carrier, but to reload the missiles players must land on the aircraft carrier.

By pressing and holding the "Y" button on the controller before the player takes off, they can access a fully configurable Tomcat's system menu. The player will also be able to change missiles, HUD options along with other changeable features of the aircraft.

Photoactive layer. A photoactive layer is used in solar cells for absorbing light. It can be found in all solar cells, but with different panels the photoactive layer is made of different materials. Inorganic layers are made from inorganic materials such as silicon. The film has a layer arrangement of electrodes and counter electrode with organic layers in between the two. The layer is found underneath the glass, adhesive, and reflection coating, but is the first required part of the cell.

Definition

Photoactive means it can have a chemical reaction with sunlight and/or ultraviolet light. Most of the solar cell is photoactive, but the base of the solar cell only conducts electricity after it has been converted. It can also mean that it responds to photons photoelectrically. This can also relate to a physical reaction, but this does not occur within photoactive layers.

Efficiency

Layers that are thicker are sometimes preferred because they can absorb more light. While sometimes thinner ones are preferred for greater efficiency. The light must pass through the band gap. For this to work the light must have a minimum energy depending on the cell to pass through. Different cells have a different minimum while the light below the minimum passes through the absorber.

Eyeborg. An eyeborg or eye-borg is a body modification apparatus which fits on the wearer's head, and is designed to allow people to perceive color through sound waves. It works with a head-mounted antenna that senses the colors directly in front of a person, and converts them in real-time into sound waves through bone conduction.

History
The first eyeborg was created in England in 2003 by Adam Montandon in collaboration with colourblind artist Neil Harbisson. The invention, under the heading Bridging the Island of the Colourblind Project, won a British award in Innovation (Submerge 2004) and a European award in Content Tools and Interface Design (Europrix 2004). In 2007, Peter Kese, a software developer from Kranj, Slovenia, made further developments to the eyeborg by increasing the number of color hues to 360 and adding color saturation through different volume levels. In 2009, Matias Lizana, a student from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya developed the eyeborg into a chip as part of his final year project. The chip allows users to have the device implanted and to hear colors beyond the limits of human perception such as infrared and ultraviolet.

Color to sound scales
Harbisson's Sonochromatic Music Scale (2003) is a microtonal and logarithmic scale with 360 notes in an octave. Each note corresponds to a specific degree of the color wheel. The scale was introduced to the first eyeborg in 2004.

Harbisson's Pure Sonochromatic Scale (2005) is a non-logarithmic scale based on the transposition of light frequencies to sound frequencies. The scale discards color as being part of a color wheel and ignores musical/logarithmic perception so it can overstep the limits of human perception. The introduction of the new scale to the eyeborg in 2010, allows users to decide whether they want to perceive colors logarithmically or not.

The blind

Since 2005, eyeborgs have been donated to blind communities in Europe, Asia and America with the aim of helping the blind develop the sense of color. The first blind person to try out an eyeborg was Sabriye Tenberken followed by blind students from Braille Without Borders in Tibet and members of the Sociedad de Ciegos de Pichincha in Ecuador.

In 2011, vice-president of Ecuador Lenin Moreno announced that his government would collaborate with the Cyborg Foundation to create eyeborgs and new sensory extensions. In 2012, after lecturing at Escola Politécnica de Pernambuco in Recife, the Cyborg Foundation signed a partnership to create eyeborgs and other new human extensions in collaboration with Universidade de Pernambuco in Brazil.

Eyeborgs are currently being treated as body parts rather than as devices, and therefore are donated rather than sold.

Heinz Schlicke. Heinz Schlicke (December 13, 1912 – April 18, 2006), was a German-born engineer and author, an Operation Paperclip scientist, and engineer at the Allen-Bradley Co. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He received both his Master's and Doctor's degrees in engineering sciences at the Institute of Technology in Dresden, Germany in 1937, working under Dr. Heinrich Barkhausen. His thesis subject was on the "Entrainment of Oscillators and Sub-Harmonics". During World War II he served in the Kriegsmarine working his way from the rank of Naval Engineer (Marinebaurat) to Lieutenant-Commander (Korvettenkapitan). Near the end of the war he was sent on a special mission to transport high-technology information and supplies to Japan on board the submarine U-234. On May 8, 1945, the war with Germany ended, and on May 14 the U-234 surrendered to the United States. Schlicke was taken to a secret POW camp codenamed P. O. Box 1142, based in Fort Hunt, Virginia. He was repatriated to Germany in 1946, but was invited to return to the United States to work under Operation Paperclip at the Office of Naval Research in Sands Point, New York. His work there consisted of what is now known as stealth technology.

In September, 1950 he accepted a job with the Allen-Bradley Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to manage the development of ferrite based electronic components. While working there, he authored the book Essentials of Dielectromagnetic Engineering in 1961 which deals with ferrites and dielectric materials. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he became involved with Electromagnetic compatibility EMC issues, becoming the president of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society, and in 1967 an IEEE Fellow. He retired from Allen-Bradley in 1974, but continued to work in the EMC field consulting and authoring another book Electromagnetic Compossibility in 1982. In 1994 he coauthored a personal development book with his son Lutz Schlicke, titled Ready for any Challenge. Dr. Schlicke died in his sleep in 2006 at the age of 93.

Junction Mills, Ashton-under-Lyne. The Junction Mills were cotton spinning and weaving mills to the west of the Portland Basin in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, in England. They were built between 1831 and 1890 for the Samuel Heginbottom and his sons. The firm went out of business in 1930, and all the buildings have been demolished but the  octagonal chimney, built in 1867, and typical of that period has been preserved in situ.

Location
The Junction mills were built alongside the Ashton Canal to the west of the Portland Basin.

History
Generally, the earlier mills in Ashton had been built close to the town centre, but after 1824 all the new mills had been built adjacent to the canal. Sites with a good wharf were favoured.1825 to 1830 was a period of depression. In the boom of 1830 many mills built extensions.  Samuel Heginbottom bought the land to the west of the Portland basin in 1831, and by 1833 had constructed a five-storey mill that cost £5000.

The first expansion was in 1835, when a 22 bay five storey mill was built on newly acquired land fronting Margaret St. In November 1837, a banquet was held here before the machinery was installed, and the mill became known as 'Banquet Mill'. In 1839 the two mills were connected by a further multistorey block. All these mills were built for spinning, but by 1837 power looms had been installed and by 1847, the mills were producing printed cloths and shirtings.

The 1840 mill was employing 632 hands, rising in 1860 to 700. The  high octagonal chimney was built in 1867, adjoining the Banquet Mill Engine House, presumably in an attempt to increase the efficiency of the boilers that were required to produce even more power. More weaving sheds were constructed in 1884, giving space for 1004 looms. The Spindleage at this time was 48,000. A further 400 looms were installed in 1893 in a detached shed on the other side of Margaret Street.

The company was incorporated in 1896/7, when it was spinning medium counts and weaving fancies such as Jacquards, sateens, drillettes and velvets. The company closed in 1930, and though part of the 1831 mill remained until 1987 it has all been demolished except the chimney which has been preserved as local landmark.

Dr. Plummet's House of Flux. Dr. Plummet's House of Flux is a video game developed by MicroIllusions in 1989 for the Amiga.

Plot
Dr. Plummet's House of Flux is a game in which the unusual Dr. Plummet has invited the player character to come to his House of Flux for a test of skills involving four different missions. Each mission has seven levels with a specific theme that determines the backgrounds and obstacles for each level. The player flies a ship with a gun and shield to save six captive astronauts from each level, avoiding or destroying obstacles placed by Dr. Plummet.

Gameplay
The player operates the ship using a joystick. The player can rotate the ship either clockwise or counter-clockwise by moving the joystick either to the left or to the right, and can thrust the ship forward by pushing the joystick forward. The player can fire the guns on the ship using the joystick button, and raise the shields with the space bar. Running out of fuel causes the ship to rotate aimlessly.

Reception
In 1990, Dragon gave the game 2 out of 5 stars.
