Hot melt coating. Hot melt coating is the application of a layer to a substrate by pre-melting the desired material and then allowing or forcing the material to cool, solidifying the layer.  The process is widely used in industry, including pressure-sensitive adhesives,
labels, pharmaceuticals, etc.

Introduction
Coating is the application of a layer to a substrate.  In general, in order for a thin uniform layer to be applied, the application must be done at low or moderate viscosities.  In many cases this low viscosity is achieved by dissolving or dispersing the desired coating in a liquid such as water or a solvent, but this then necessitates the subsequent removal of the liquid by, for instance, a drying process. 
Hot-melt coating achieves this low to moderate viscosity by melting the desired material before applying it to the substrate.    The substrate and coated layer are then cooled, generally by passing over a chilled roller.   There is no liquid to remove, so the process is, in principle, much faster than water- or solvent-based equivalents.

Terminology & use
The process has been used so extensively for the application of adhesive layers by slot-die coating that the use of the term ‘hot melt’ often implies slot-die coating, but hot melt methods have also been used for other coating processes, such as metering rod or roller coating.

Transfer coating
If the desired substrate is too temperature-sensitive to allow direct hot-melt coating, the product may be made by coating a transfer belt which is then brought into contact with the substrate after cooling: if the relative adhesion is correct then the coating will transfer to the new substrate from the transfer belt.

MV Fugro Equator. MV Fugro Equator is a survey vessel owned and operated by Dutch company Fugro to provide a range of offshore survey capabilities.

History

Fugro took delivery of the ship on 27 July 2012. She is the third specially-designed, dedicated survey vessel delivered to Fugro and was planned to serve in the Asia-Pacific region.

The ship was contracted to conduct a bathymetric survey in the southern Indian Ocean during the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The survey was needed to produce a bathymetric map of the sea floor of the search area, which was previously poorly mapped and largely uncharted and mountainous, before a phase of the search using a towed side-scan sonar vehicle and autonomous underwater vehicles which need to operate close to the seafloor. In August 2017, it was announced that Fugro had been awarded the contract for that phase of the search and that Fugro Equator and sister ship Fugro Discovery would conduct the search (with some assistance from Malaysian & Chinese naval vessels).

In December 2017, Fugro Equator conducted a search for the submarine HMAS AE1 lost in 1914, possibly due to a diving accident, off the Duke of York Islands. This expedition was funded by the Commonwealth Government and the Silentworld Foundation with additional assistance from the Submarine Institute of Australia and the Australian National Maritime Museum. As a result of this effort, the submarine was found at a depth of  and was seen to be well preserved and in one piece. The exact location of the wreck was not announced by the Australian government at the time of discovery, in order to protect it from "unauthorised salvage attempts". The government's stated position is that the wreck will be treated as a war grave.

Equipment
The ship has digital seismic, acoustic, seabed, and sub-seabed mapping equipment as well as a dedicated Hugin 1000 autonomous underwater vehicle (capable of reaching 3,000 m depths).

Richard John Durley. Richard John Durley MBE (11 February 1868 – 13 August 1948) was Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University (1901–1912), one of three commission members for the design of the University of British Columbia and, during World War I, Officer-in-Charge of Gauges and Standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions Department of Inspection.

After the war he was appointed a founding vice-chairman and secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Committee with Sir John Kennedy acting as chairman. In 1919, he was appointed Secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Association and in 1925 was appointed Secretary of the Engineering Institute of Canada until his retirement in 1938. Durley was also editor of the Engineering Institute of Canada's Engineering Journal between 1925 and 1938.

Early life
Durley was born in Bierton in Buckinghamshire, the son of Richard and Elizabeth Durley. His father, the descendant of a long line of yeoman farmers, died when Durley was an infant and his mother became a schoolteacher to raise the family. He was educated at Bedford Modern School, then at University College, Bristol, and University College London.

Career
Durley trained at Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited in Hull.  In 1893, he was awarded a Whitworth scholarship and in 1894 became chief lecturer in engineering at the Municipal Technical College in Hull.

Durley emigrated to Canada in 1896 where he later became Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal between 1901 and 1912.  In 1903 he wrote a widely used text book Kinematics of Machines. He was made a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1905.

During World War I Durley was Officer-in-Charge of Gauges and Standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions Department of Inspection. In 1918 he was awarded an MBE for his wartime services in Canada.

After the war, Durley became Secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Association and in 1925 took the same position at the Engineering Institute of Canada until his retirement in 1938. He was editor of the Engineering Institute of Canada's Engineering Journal between 1925 and 1938.

In addition to the Institution of Civil Engineers, Durley was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and in 1941 received the Engineering Institute of Canada's Julian C. Smith Medal.

H. A. Humphrey. Herbert Alfred Humphrey MInstCE MIMechE MIEE FCGI (2 December 1868 – 9 March 1951) was a British engineer, inventor of the Humphrey pump.

Early life and education 
Humphrey was born in Gospel Oak, London, to Louisa (née Frost, 1831–1911) and John Charles Humphrey (1833–1903). His mother had been a dressmaker before marriage, and his father was a clerk at the London Metropolitan Board of Works and later London County Council. Edith Humphrey, thought to be the first British woman to obtain a doctorate in chemistry, was his younger sister. He trained at the Finsbury Technical College and the Central Institution (which later became the City and Guilds College).

Career and the invention of the Humphrey pump 
After graduating from college, Humphrey was employed for four years by Heenan & Froude at their Newton Heath iron works before joining Brunner Mond in Northwich as the engineering manager of their refined bicarbonate and crystal department. In 1901, at the age of 33, Humphrey set up his own engineering consultancy in London. The consultancy was setup with the support of Ludwig Mond and performed research work for Brunner Mond, specifically to find industrial and commercial uses for Mond gas.

In 1906, Humphery wrote his first patent covering the workings of the Humphrey pump (a large internal combustion gas-fueled liquid piston pump). Humphrey worked on the development and marketing of the pump between 1906 and 1914. A Humphrey pump was exhibited at the 1910 Brussels Exhibition, where it was awarded two Grands Prix. Licenses to produce the Humphrey pump and Humphrey cycle engines were negotiated with a number of firms including Beardmore, Brown Boveri and Siemens. Ultimately only ten Humphrey pumps were built for commercial operation, however some continued in service into the 1960s.

During World War I, Humphrey offered his services to the War Office where he worked on improving the production of explosives. After the war, Humphrey returned to consultancy and was associated with Imperial Chemical Industries until his retirement in 1941.

Humphrey was awarded the Melchett Medal in 1939 by the Institute of Fuel.

Personal life
Humphrey was married to Mary Elizabeth Horniblow. They had three sons and two daughters, including the bacteriologist John H. Humphrey. In 1945, Hebert Humphrey moved to Hermanus, Cape Province, Union of South Africa. He died there in 1951.

A collection of Humphrey's papers is held in the archives of Imperial College London.

Sepahan Airlines. Sepahan Airlines () was an airline based in Isfahan, Iran.

History
The company has been an internal division of the manufacturer Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA) and operated a fleet of 6 HESA-assembled Antonov An-140 turboprop aircraft. Following the 10 August 2014 crash, the entire IrAn-140 fleet in Iran was grounded, pending the outcome of the investigation, ultimately leading to the indefinite cessation of all Sepahan Airlines operations as it owned no other type of aircraft.

Fleet
The Sepahan Airlines fleet consisted of the following aircraft:

Accidents and incidents

On 10 August 2014, a HESA IrAn-140 operating flight SPN 5915 to Tabas crashed near Tehran Mehrabad International Airport, killing at least 39 passengers. The plane had taken off from the airport moments earlier at 9:45 hours local time (0515 UTC), before at least one of its engines failed.

Cerium(III) methanesulfonate. Cerium(III) methanesulfonate is a white salt, usually found as the dihydrate with the formula Ce(CH3SO3)3·2H2O that precipitates from the neutralisation of cerium(III) carbonate with methanesulfonic acid, as first reported by L.B. Zinner in 1979. The crystals have a monoclinic polymeric structure were each methanesulfonate ion forms bonds with two cerium atoms, which present a coordination number of 8. The anhydrous salt is formed by water loss at 120 °C. Similar methanesulfonates can be prepared with other lanthanides. Cerium(III) methanesulfonate in solution is used as a precursor of electrogenerated cerium(IV), which is a strong oxidant and whose salts can be used in organic synthesis. The same principle of Ce(IV) electrogeneration is the fundamental reaction in the positive half-cell of the zinc–cerium battery.

Elmira, Corning and Waverly Railway. The Elmira, Corning and Waverly Railway was an electric interurban line connecting the cities of Elmira, Waverly, and Corning along the Southern Tier region of New York State. The railroad was briefly controlled by the Erie Railroad. Completed in 1911, traffic dwindled through the 1920s in the face of stiff competition from better roads and increased automobile ownership. The effects of the Great Depression hastened the abandonment of all service in 1930. Replacement bus service was provided by Carpenter's Rapid Transit of Corning.

Kazem Hassibi. Kazem Hassibi (Hasibi) () (born Tehran, October 1906 – died Tehran, October 28, 1990) was an Iranian academic, parliamentarian, National Front leader, and oil adviser to Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh during Iran's oil nationalization movement.

After his education in France, Hassibi served a stint in the military. In 1941, he began teaching at the University of Tehran in the Faculty of Engineering and also co-founded the Engineer's Association (Kānun-e mohandesin), which would eventually become the Iran Party (Ḥezb-e Irān) and merge into the National Front (Jebhe Melli Irân). Politically active on issues related to oil, he became Deputy Minister of Finance under Mosaddegh and, in 1951, a member of the House of Parliament. During this time, he was regarded as the chief oil expert in Iran. He was a strong proponent of nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and refused to take part in the mediation talks between Iran and the British led by W. Averell Harriman in Tehran in July 1951. He did take part in those spearheaded by Richard Stokes the following month. After the 1953 Iranian coup d'état unseated Mosaddegh, Hassibi was imprisoned along with other important members of the National Front. After his release, he remained politically active with the National Front.

Kazem Hassibi is the grandfather of famous polymath Babak Hassibi. Kazem's father was a watchmaker/clocksmith, and craftsman of other time keeping devices and/or scientific instruments in Tehran, Iran during the late 19th century.
