PCO Imaging. PCO Imaging (PCO AG) is a developer and manufacturer of camera systems for scientific and industrial applications.

History 

The company was founded in 1987 by Emil Ott, who worked as a researcher at the Technical University of Munich. During the conducting of scientific measurements with intensified slow scan cameras, he was convinced of the fact that the existing camera standard did not meet the requirements of scientific applications. Therefore, he founded PCO (Pioneers in Cameras and Optoelectronics) to improve the technology of the existing camera systems.
The developed technologies of PCO are since then used for DNA sequencing, machine vision, solar cell quality control, measuring velocity and surveillance alongside to microscopy and further applications.

Products 

The company designs, manufactures and distributes scientific imaging devices equipped with scientific complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (sCMOS), complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) and charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor technology. In 2016, the company introduced the first luminescence lifetime imaging camera based on a high frequency modulated CMOS image sensor which is called pco.flim. The pco.flim CMOS camera can be used for a vast variety of biomedical applications that require a large frame and high-speed acquisition.

The new technology for sCMOS (scientific CMOS) image sensors was launched in 2009 during the Laser World of Photonics fair in Munich as Joint Venture from PCO with the companies Andor Technology and Fairchild Camera and Instrument. In general, CCD-based cameras offer high sensitivity but slow sampling speeds. Conventional CMOS cameras offer very fast frame rates but compromise dynamic range. sCMOS image sensors, on the other hand, offer extremely low noise, rapid frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution, and a large field of view simultaneously in one image. This makes them particularly suitable for high fidelity, quantitative scientific measurement and low-light-level conditions.

Non-contact normothermic wound therapy. Non-contact normothermic (or nonthermal) wound therapy also called The Warm-Up Therapy System or wound therapy with infrared radiation is increasing the temperature of the wound bed, thereby promoting increased blood flow in the area around the wound. It is a temporary therapy (usually about 72 hours for each time usage) in which the dressing contains a special electronic warming card. The card heats to 100.4 °F (38 °C), bathing the wound in radiant heat. The closely sealed wound covering promotes a moist environment in the wound bed.

It is sometimes indicated in wounds that have failed to heal with conventional therapies including wounds with compromised blood flow, diabetic ulcers, and bed sores.

Thiosilicate. In chemistry and materials science, thiosilicate refers to materials containing anions of the formula . Derivatives where some sulfide is replaced by oxide are also called thiosilicates, examples being materials derived from the oxohexathiodisilicate . Silicon is tetrahedral in all thiosilicates and sulfur is bridging or terminal. Formally such materials are derived from silicon disulfide in analogy to the relationship between silicon dioxide and silicates. Thiosilicates are typically encountered as colorless solids. They are characteristically sensitive to hydrolysis. They are from the class of chalcogenidotetrelates.

Materials science
The LISICON (LIthium Super Ionic CONductor) include thiosilicates, which are fast ion conductors. Thiosilicates and related thiogermanates are also of interest for infrared optics, since they only absorb low frequency IR modes.

Workflowy. WorkFlowy is a web-based outliner created by Mike Turitzin and Jesse Patel at a Y Combinator startup camp. The idea for Workflowy arose from Patel’s prior work experience in project management and his frustration with the lack of useful tools. 

The central feature of the app is a text-based nested list. Writing in The Guardian, novelist Emma Donoghue noted that this aspect of the software allows her to capture and organise "stray idea[s]". 

The app operates on a freemium business model and its straightforward list-like interface has been described as "uncluttered." by PC World in 2013 and "minimalistically elegant" by The Atlantic in 2016. Since its launch Workflowy has developed what the Geek Wire describe as "a cult-like following."

AEC Bridgemaster. The AEC Bridgemaster was a front-engined low-height double-decker bus chassis manufactured by AEC.

History
The AEC Bridgemaster was introduced by AEC in 1956 to meet the demand of low-height double-deckers from municipal and independent bus operators across the United Kingdom, which were barred from purchasing the Bristol Lodekka. It was designed as a fully-integral vehicle, utilising two sub frames like the contemporary Routemaster. Four pre-production examples were bodied by Crossley with an aluminium body; production examples bodied by Park Royal were introduced from 1958 with steel body frames at the request of British Electric Traction.

In 1960 a forward-entrance version with slightly different driveline layout was introduced. A total of 180 were produced before it was superseded by the AEC Renown in 1963. East Yorkshire Motor Services were the largest customer, purchasing 50.

Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper. Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper (RAPP) is the main pulp and paper subsidiary of Asia Pacific Resources International Holdings Limited, or APRIL Group. Operating in Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, RAPP runs one of the largest pulp mills in the world.

Operations 
The pulp and paper mill located at Pangkalan Kerinci in Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia is capable of producing up to 2.8 million tonnes of pulp and 1.15 million tonnes of paper per year.

Sustainability 
RAPP’s parent company APRIL Group became the first Indonesian forest company to receive the sustainable forest management certification from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) in June 2015.

It was later accepted as an International Stakeholder member by PEFC in February 2016.

APRIL’s operations are also certified under OHSAS 18001 (Safety Management Systems), ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), and ISO 14001 (Environment Management Systems).

Economic impact  
RAPP employs approximately 5,800 people in Indonesia.

A 1999-2014 analysis by the Institute of Economic and Social Research – Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia estimates APRIL’s historic contribution to Riau province’s GDP at 5.2%.

Fire prevention 
In 2015 APRIL launched the Fire Free Village Program, a community-level program to provide alternatives to clearing land using fire, one of the main causes of forest fire in Indonesia. By providing training, equipment and economic incentives to prevent burning, FFVP cut fire by 97% in partner villages from 2014 to 2017.

Through APRIL, in 2016 RAPP became a founding member of the Fire Free Alliance, a voluntary group of companies and organisations who share information and resources to fight forest fire in Southeast Asia.

RAPP is also one of several private sector companies working with the Indonesian government to apply the lessons of community programs such as FFVP on a national level.

Controversy 
In 2016 NGOs Greenpeace and WWF suspended partnership with APRIL Group after RAPP dug a canal through peat forest in breach of government regulation. APRIL’s independent Stakeholder Advisory Committee accepted that the incident was the result of unintentional mistakes in interpreting and implementing government regulation.

Three Friends and an Invention. Three Friends and an Invention () (Two friends, a model and a girlfriend) is a 1927 Soviet film directed by Aleksei Popov.

The film is a light-hearted satire about the misadventures of two friends who are young workers at a soap-making factory.

Plot
Ahov and Mahov, young workers at a small soap factory, invent a machine capable of significantly accelerating the production of soap packaging. However, they face many hardships, including bureaucratic indifference from the factory's director, who shows no interest in either the inventors or the manufacturing process. Additionally, they are opposed by nepmen like Ardalion Medalionov, a private entrepreneur and packaging supplier who sees their invention as a threat to his business.  

While the local Komsomol organization is ready to support the workers, a demonstration of the machine ends in failure due to Medalionov sabotaging it. Pursued by Medalionov and his accomplices, Ahov, Mahov, and Dasha—a fellow factory worker whom they frequently flirt with—set off with their machine on a makeshift raft to reach a district center. However, Medalionov has already slandered them as crazed inventors, leading local authorities to detain the trio in a port warehouse, labeling them dangerous lunatics.  

With Dasha's help, they manage to escape but encounter the same bureaucratic resistance at the district level. Undeterred, they continue their journey, enduring numerous adventures aboard a steamboat. Finally, thanks to their alliance with the Komsomol, the friends achieve reasonable results in their inventive labor and pursuits when they reach the provincial capital, where their machine is at last recognized and appreciated.

Production
From the book Memories and Reflections on Theater written by the film's director, Aleksei Popov:

A. D. Popov said that the idea was born in him, as a response to the comedy Ole & Axel, which was running successfully on Soviet screens. And really, it was easy to notice in the main role of the film – small, nimble Akhov and tall, ungainly Makhov – the features of their cinematic inspirations, Ole and Axel. Nevertheless, Popov's comedy was both very modern and genuinely accessible. It scathingly ridiculed bureaucracy, was full of cheerful humor in its portrayal of a far province, a quiet backwater corner, where one can begin a new life. Popov lovingly resurrected onscreen these quiet, lost places, fields of rye, flowing spring waters, and his scenic sketches of everyday episodes that were full of their own sharp and precise observations.

By some measure, this film could be considered the first Soviet road movie. The heroes make their way to the district center on a steam boat, then move onto a makeshift float, encountering the same bureaucratic obstacles everywhere.
