Software Design and Development. Software Design and Development (SDD) is the study of designing and developing software. SDD is also a subject offered to senior high school students in Australia in university entrance exams such as the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).

Victoria

VCE Course
In Victoria, the course in the VCE is known as Information Technology: Software Development.

New South Wales

HSC Course
In New South Wales, the course was changed to Software Engineering in 2024 following a syllabus update. SE is separated into the Preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (Year 12) courses. A prerequisite for the HSC Course is successful completion of the Preliminary Course, which is the same for any other course in the HSC. The course also often requires a major project, in which students must plan, design and develop a software application. The course in NSW is set out in the NSW Board of Studies (now known as the New South Wales Education Standards Authority) HSC Software Design and Development syllabus document.

AMD/Eastman/Zenair Patriot. The AMD Patriot is a light sport aircraft produced by Aircraft Manufacturing and Design Co. In 2007 AMD announced that they intended to produce a high-wing, all metal, tricycle gear aircraft with a Continental O-200 engine to compete with the Cessna Skycatcher.

The AeroAndina MXP-150 Kimbaya was chosen as a donor platform for the sole prototype constructed. Built to comply with the FAA's Light/Sport aircraft standards, the plane was intended to compete with other light, recreational aircraft including the aforementioned Skycatcher. Production was halted in 2010 after AMD's rebranding to Eastman Aviation, which then promptly went defunct, and AMD aircraft's assets, along with the Patriot, were sold to Zenair, the manufacturer of Zenith kit Aircraft, who promoted it as the Zenair MXP Patriot, before production was finally ended for good after an internal restructuring to focus on Zenair's own in-house model line.

Operational bill. Operational bills are a tendering document for estimating costs prepared by architects that describes a construction project in terms of the operations (which include labour and plant) needed to build it. This form of document contrasts with that of bills of quantities in which such tendering and estimation is limited to the materials in the completed work. Operational bills have the advantages of enhancing communication between design and production, enabling realistic tender pricing, and making the preparation of critical-path analysis easy for the contractor.
 
Operational bills were proposed and developed by Edward Skoyles at Building Research Establishment in the 1960s. Priced-activity schedules of the New Engineering Contract are a modern related form, prepared by the contractor.

Creation

An operation is defined as a piece of construction work which can be carried out by a gang of operatives without interruption from another gang. A procedure diagram is provided that shows the relationship of operations to each other and so which are done in sequence and which are done in parallel. This allows a critical-path analysis to be quickly created by the contractor. There are two sections: the first deals with site operations in terms of schedules of materials, labour and plant requirements, and the second, any work prefabricated adjacent or off site. At the end of the bill, management and plant resources are given so they are included.

History

After operational bills were proposed, a second half-way house version with bills of quantities was suggested initially called "activity bills", but then as "Bills of quantities (operations)". In this, the operations are described in terms of the rules of the standard method of measurement rather than labour and materials.   A further development was the use of the principles of operational bills in the priced-activity schedules of the New Engineering Contract.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages
 Separates the costs of labour, materials and plant thus enabling cost control.
 Increases the accuracy of estimating.
 Costs can be related to factors that directly determine them such as overall plant usage.
 Allows the reuse of information created in estimating for project management.
 Enables better estimation of variation in works.

Disadvantages
 Bulky and costly to produce so increasing the work of the contractor’s estimators.  
 Radically changes the estimating process.
 Does not fit in with current contracts in regard to work variation.  
 It needs computers to allow rapid manipulation of the data: this did not exist when it was originally proposed.
 The design team responsible for creating the operational bill need not be "very familiar with the buildability issues as they affect the construction process".

Cold stamping. Cold stamping, also known as press working, is a manufacturing operation in which thermoplastics in sheet form are cold-formed using methods similar to those used in metalworking. A precut thermoplastic sheet, possibly reinforced, is softened by heating to a temperature particular to the plastic in use. The heated sheet is then shaped by stamping using a press. Fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic sheets are formed using metal stamping presses after the sheets are preheated to about .

Push broom scanner. A push broom scanner, also known as an along-track scanner, is a device for obtaining images with spectroscopic sensors. The scanners are regularly used for passive remote sensing from space, and in spectral analysis on production lines, for example with near-infrared spectroscopy used to identify contaminated food and feed. The moving scanner line in a traditional photocopier (or a scanner or facsimile machine) is also a familiar, everyday example of a push broom scanner.  Push broom scanners and the whisk broom scanners variant (also known as across-track scanners) are often contrasted with staring arrays (such as in a digital camera), which image objects without scanning, and are more familiar to most people.

In orbital push broom sensors, a line of sensors arranged perpendicular to the flight direction of the spacecraft is used. Different areas of the surface are imaged as the spacecraft flies forward. A push broom scanner can gather more light than a whisk broom scanner because it looks at a particular area for a longer time, like a long exposure on a camera. One drawback of push broom sensors is the varying sensitivity of the individual detectors.  Another drawback is that the resolution is lower than a whisk broom scanner because the entire image is captured at once.

Examples of spacecraft cameras using push broom imagers include Mars Express's High Resolution Stereo Camera, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera NAC, Mars Global Surveyor's Mars Orbiter Camera WAC, and the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer on board the Terra satellite.

PL-4 (missile). The PL-4 () was an air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by the People's Republic of China. It was designed by the 612 Research Institute and the Zhuzhou Aeroengine factory. The first version, the PL-4A, was China's first semi-active radar homing (SARH) AAM. It was developed into the infrared homing PL-4B.

Development
The development program of PL-4 started in March 1966. The design may have been influenced by American AIM-7D Sparrow wreckage from the Vietnam War. Prototype ground-testing to the original 1960s requirements was completed in November 1980, with the second phase of development starting in July 1981. The program was canceled in 1984 due to obsolescence and, with the normalization of relations with the United States - the availability of modern Western weapons.

The PL-4 was intended to arm the Chengdu J-9 - which was canceled in 1980 - and then the Shenyang J-8II. Issues with the J-8II's Type 208 radar limited SARH performance, and the missile's cancellation severely affected the aircraft's development.

National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacture. The National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacture
was formed in December 2008 as an alliance between 14 battery makers and the Argonne National Laboratory to improve the competitiveness of the American battery industry (which is in some respects playing catch-up to the Japanese battery industry) and to expedite the development of advanced lithium ion battery technology. The alliance is modeled after SEMATECH, formed in 1987 by a group of U.S. semiconductor manufacturers with $1 billion in federal funding to build manufacturing plants to compete with Asian competition.

The market for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries is currently too small for any one company to build a plant on its own. By combining resources, and with the help of up to $2 billion from the federal government over the next five years, the hope is to catch up on the lead of Asian manufacturers that now supply the majority of batteries used in hybrid and electric cars.

Members 
The alliance's members are:
3M, Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Power Solutions, ActaCell, All Cell Technologies, Altair Nanotechnologies Inc, Eagle Picher Industries Inc., EnerSys, Envia Systems, FMC Corp, MicroSun Technologies, Mobius Power, SiLyte, Superior Graphite, and Townsend Advanced Energy.
