Xi'an H-20. The Xi'an H-20 (; alternatively Xi'an H-X) is a projected subsonic stealth bomber design of the People's Liberation Army Air Force. It is referred to as a strategic project by the People's Liberation Army, and will be the first dedicated strategic bomber developed by China.

The development of a strategic bomber was revealed in September 2016.

Design and development
In 2016, People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) general Ma Xiaotian announced that China was developing a new type of long-range bomber on the air force's open day. In 2018, a Chinese military spokesperson confirmed the development was making "great progress".

According to the United States Department of Defense, the H-20 is expected to be a flying wing with a range of at least 8,500 km and a payload capacity of at least 10 tonnes; according to the Rand Corporation, an American funded thinktank, it will allow China "to reliably threaten U.S. targets within and beyond the
Second Island Chain, to include key U.S. military bases in Guam and Hawaii." The payload is projected to be at least 10 tonnes of conventional or nuclear weapons.

Throughout the years, multiple models and computer-generated pictures have surfaced on the internet, some published by magazines run by state-owned defense companies. Defense analysts have noted several recurring features on these models, including serrated air intakes, cranked-kite wings, and foldable twin tail surfaces that can be switched between being horizontal tailplanes and V-tails.

In July 2022, Chinese state media suggested the H-20 was close to taking its maiden flight.

In March 2024, during the second session of the 14th National People's Congress, vice commander of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, Wang Wei, indicated that H-20 will be revealed "very soon".

Performance bedding. Performance bedding is a bedding product not made from traditional material such as cotton.  Performance bedding includes memory foam, gel, polyester, or proprietary fabrics. Bedding products include sheets, pillows, and mattress protectors.  Because of the different properties of polyester compared to cotton, moisture may be wicked away from the body during sleep.  The low absorbency qualities of polyester means it is more resistant to stains than cotton.

The company Sheex manufactures performance bedding.

FM Conway. FM Conway is a UK-based family-run civil engineering contractor specialising in highways and other infrastructure work. Subject to regulatory approval, the company will become part of Vinci in early 2025.

History

The company was founded in 1961 by Francis Michael Conway; his son Michael Conway then served as CEO for more than 40 years, and was later succeeded as CEO and chair by his daughter Joanne Conway.  It has a network of asphalt and aggregate recycling manufacturing plants serving London and Southern England, as well as two Thames-side wharves, at Erith and Gravesend. The company was based in Dartford, Kent, but moved its headquarters to Sevenoaks in 2016.

In February 2020, FM Conway was suspended from the Prompt Payment Code for failure to pay suppliers on time. It was reinstated in August 2020 after process improvements.

In May 2023, FM Conway bought Essex-based drainage contractor Flowline out of administration, saving 164 jobs.

In January 2024, FM Conway replaced an existing road surface in Westminster, using 92% recycled materials, believed to be the highest level achieved on a UK road. In October 2024, Vinci agreed terms to purchase the business. Subject to regulatory approvals, the deal is expected to complete in early 2025.

Masato Sagawa. Masato Sagawa (佐川眞人; born August 3, 1943, in Tokushima, Japan) is a Japanese scientist and entrepreneur, and the inventor of the sintered permanent neodymium magnet (NdFeB). 
Sagawa was awarded the Japan Prize and IEEE Medal for Environmental and Safety Technologies for his efforts.

Career 
Sagawa initially conceived and developed the sintered NdFeB when he was with Fujitsu Laboratories, where he worked from 1972 to 1982. Lacking his supervisor's support for the new magnetic compound, Sagawa resigned in 1981,  joining Sumitomo Special Metals. Shortly after joining Sumitomo he had developed the NdFeB magnet. Sagawa presented the new discovery of NdFeB magnet during the Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Conference in November 1983 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During this same time period, John Croat from General Motors (GM) had independently discovered the same Nd2Fe14B compound.

In 1988, Sagawa founded Intermetallics, a research and development company devoted to the development of neodymium magnets.  Sagawa founded NDFEB Corporation in 2012, where he is currently president. 

Sagawa has worked on improving the NdFeB magnetic materials' magnetic properties, with over 60 patents for his work related to NdFeB.The 2022 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering was awarded to him for the discovery, development and global commercialisation of the neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnet.

Sentroller. A sentroller, used in the Internet of things is a sensor, controller or actuator or combination of these three.

Sentrollers in the Internet of things
The current Internet is an Internet of people, based on people communicating with people, using smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers, but this is changing: equipment and devices connected to the Internet (e.g. set-top boxes, cameras, cars) are starting to shift the balance away from people towards things. The future is clearly moving into a direction where the number of things connected to the Internet will overwhelm the number of connected people. Predictions range up to a factor of 100 to 1 or more, and thus the Internet of people will transform into the Internet of things. Thereby, the Internet of things will connect to and communicate directly with other "things", rather than directly with people.

Many of the new things connected to the Internet will be sentrollers, which means they are either actuators, sensors, controllers, or combinations of these three things. One simple example is a home thermostat. A thermostat is a sentroller as it senses the temperature in the home, checks whether the home or room in which the thermostat is monitoring temperature is at the desired temperature, and if not, turns on the heater or the air conditioner. Therefore, a thermostat is a sensor and a controller – a sentroller. No human interaction with the thermostat or the cloud will be necessary for the thermostat to keep the heat in the home at the right level.

In practice, sentrollers absorb and/or produce very limited amounts of information, but connectivity to the internet is essential for their operation. The Internet of things will host the applications that know how to interpret the information provided by sentrollers and what action to be taken. The smarts of the smart home, smart energy, smart buildings, etc. actually reside in the cloud. The sentrollers are the end nodes that will become the majority population of this type of Internet of things.
