Howard Porter (manufacturer). Howard Porter is an Australian industrial company manufacturing semi-trailers and truck bodies.

History
Howard Porter was founded in 1936 by Howard Porter in Fremantle as a coachbuilder building timber horse carts. After three generations of Porter family ownership, it was sold in the 1990s to overseas interests. In 2004 it was purchased by Giulio and Roy Lombardi. By this stage it had relocated to Spearwood.

From the 1950s until the 1990s, Howard Porter bodied buses, including many for the Metropolitan Transport Trust and its successor Transperth, and the Western Australian Government Railways and its successor Westrail. In the 1970s it built some with Custom Coaches kits. It later diversified into custom built semi-trailers and truck builds.

In 2006 rival semi trailer manufacturing business SFM Engineering was purchased. In 2010, Howard Porter completed a 320 trailer contract for the Gorgon gas project, reportedly the biggest trailer contract ever in Australia. In 2012 a subsidiary trading as Global Trailer Solutions was established in Asia.

Bellville historical clay and stone quarry and adjacent jail. In 1930 the owners of the land (the company “Brick and Clay") started mining activities on a 260 hectare piece of land situated in Bellville, Western Cape, South Africa.  In 1936 a Jail was built next to the Quarry. Today very little of the Quarry and Jail is left and it was replaced with modern city infrastructure.

Mining Activities

Hume Pipe Company mined clay and produced bricks. A railway line, through Oakdale, was built that linked it to Bellville railway station. This railway was used to transport stones. Two areas were used, one next to the quarry and one in O’Kennedyville. The quarry was an opencast activity. In 1973 there was no more clay in the Quarry. Activities were stopped and no further development took place. Barlow Rand  took control over Hume Pipe Company.

The Jail

The jail was built so that the prisoners could work as miners. It had a population of 600. When mining activities closed, so did the jail.

Developments after closing up to 1985

The Quarry

It took Barlow Rand seven years to subdivide the land. They then sold it to the Bellville City Council, in 1980. In 1985 a shopping centre was built on a part of the land  and opened in that year.

The railway line

The use of it stopped in 1978.

The terrain in O’Kennedyville

Offices and shops were developed (1983). Today it’s known as High Street.

The Jail

It was rented out as businesses.

Modern developments from 1986 to 2003

The Quarry

An athletics track (1992), and the Bellville Velodrome for cycling (1997) was built.

The terrain next to the quarry where bricks were made

The University of Stellenbosch Business School  was developed high up the Quarry (1986). A golf driving range was built on it (1997).

The remainder of the quarry and surroundings

The part surrounding the two dams (that originated due to the mining activity) were bought by a Mr de Lange from Namibia  in 1995  In 1999 Monex Ltd started to develop the area  and  called it Tyger Waterfront, with residential property, shops, offices and restaurants. This was completed in 2003. A Toboggan track used for entertainment was opened in 2007. .

The Jail

In 2003 it was demolished and a second shopping centre was built on the land.

IAG Guardian. The IAG Guardian is a United Arab Emirates-made Infantry mobility vehicle. It was developed by the International Armored Group company. It is available in 4x4 and 6x6 configurations. This vehicle has been used in the Middle East conflict and has been marked as battle proven to participate in low intensity conflicts.

Design
Guardians are able to withstand projectiles fired from high level ballistic and blast resistance. Equipped with diesel V8 turbo 6.7 L engine that produces 300 HP or engine type 6.8L V10, this machine produces 352 HP power with 5 or 6 speed automatic transmission. Guardian can speed up to 120 km per hour on smooth with the range up to 800 km.

For the protection aspect, the Guardian is designed with standard ballistic protection up to CEN Level B6 or STANAG level II. But with an add-on armor package, Guardian protection can be upgraded to CEN Level B7 or STANAG level III. Additional protection can be removed to reduce the weight of the vehicle, such as to facilitate maneuvering the vehicle while crossing off-road terrain. In principle, the Guardian provides 360 degree protection to its crew, including the implementation of 3 point door locking to provide extra protection in the face of explosive effects.

The Guardian is also able to withstand a 6 kg TNT effect that explodes under the vehicle.

Variants

Guardian 4x4 Basic variant for low intensity conflict in two axle configuration. Can carry a total of 10 personnel, including driver/commander.

Guardian 4x4 Xtreme An upgraded variant with add-on armor and cage armor to increase the protection level. The level of protection increased to STANAG Level III.

The engine is a four-cylinder four-stroke, horizontally-opposed,  displacement, fuel injected air-cooled, direct-drive, gasoline engine design. It produces , with an 8.9:1 compression ratio.

The engine is not type certified and is therefore intended for homebuilt aircraft.

In March 2019 the engine type was withdrawn from service and all customer engines were subject to a mandatory, immediate buy-back by the manufacturer to remove them from service. The company made this decision based on detonation problems found in some XP-400 engines that could not be resolved. Due to parts commonality, the decision was made to buy-back the Superior Air Parts XP-382 engines as well.

In February 2020, Superior settled a lawsuit regarding the 2016 fatal crash of a Van's Aircraft RV-8A for US$5M. The crash was due to the failure of the crankshaft in the installed XP-400 engine. In the accident investigation the NTSB determined that the crankshaft failed due to metal fatigue. The crankshaft had 20 hours of flight time on it at the time of failure.

Methyldichlorophosphine. Methyldichlorophosphine (alternatively known as dichloro(methyl)phosphane, SW and methylphosphonous dichloride) is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula CH3PCl2. It is a colorless, corrosive, flammable, and highly reactive liquid with a pungent odor.

Preparation
Methyldichlorophosphine is produced by alkylation of phosphorus trichloride with methyl iodide followed by reduction of the resulting phosphonium salt with iron powder:  
CH3I  +  PCl3  +  AlCl3  → [CH3PCl3]+AlCl3I−
[CH3PCl3]+AlCl3I−  +  Fe  →   CH3PCl2  +  FeICl +  AlCl3
The compound is an intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals for instance dimethylphenylphosphine.

Uses
Methyldichlorophosphine belongs to the group of halophosphines, some of which are used as intermediates in the production of plant protection agents, stabilizers for plastics, and catalysts. It is a precursor of the herbicide Glufosinate. It is also used in the production of flameproofing compounds.

Due to the recycling problem of phosphoryl chloride, SW was adopted in step three of the DMHP process in the preparation of Sarin. SW was also adopted as a standard precursor to V agents, having been used to prepare QL for unitary and binary VX. SW was the first agent adopted to prepare VX in one pot reaction by aqueous medium.

Safety
It is also toxic if inhaled, can cause burns upon contact with the skin and eyes, and releases fumes of hydrochloric acid in moist environments.

IBM 4768. The IBM 4768 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor is a hardware security module (HSM) that includes a secure cryptoprocessor implemented on a high security, tamper resistant, programmable PCIe board. Specialized cryptographic electronics, microprocessor, memory, and random number generator housed within a tamper-responding environment provide a highly secure subsystem in which data processing and cryptography can be performed. Sensitive key material is never exposed outside the physical secure boundary in a clear format.

The IBM 4768 is validated to FIPS PUB 140-2 Level 4, the highest level of certification achievable for commercial cryptographic devices. It has achieved PCI-HSM certification. The IBM 4768 data sheet describes the coprocessor in detail.

IBM supplies two cryptographic-system implementations:

 The PKCS#11 implementation creates a high-security solution for application programs developed for this industry-standard API.
 The IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) implementation provides many functions of special interest in the finance industry, extensive support for distributed key management, and a base on which custom processing and cryptographic functions can be added.

Applications may include financial PIN transactions, bank-to-clearing-house transactions, EMV transactions for integrated circuit (chip) based credit cards, and general-purpose cryptographic applications using symmetric key algorithms, hashing algorithms, and public key algorithms.

The operational keys (symmetric or RSA private) are generated in the coprocessor and are then saved either in a keystore file or in application memory, encrypted under the master key of that coprocessor. Any coprocessor with an identical master key can use those keys. Performance benefits include the incorporation of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and format preserving encryption (FPE) in the hardware.

IBM supports the 4768 on certain IBM Z mainframes as Crypto Express6S (CEX6S) - feature code 0893. The 4768 / CEX6S is part of IBM's support for pervasive encryption and drive to encrypt all data.

In September 2019 the successor IBM 4769 was announced.
