Helix ALM. Helix ALM, formerly called TestTrack, is application lifecycle management (ALM) software developed by Perforce.  The software allows developers to manage requirements, defects, issues and testing during software development.

History
Helix ALM's precursor, TestTrack Pro, was developed by Seapine Software, and first shipped in 1996. In November 2016, Perforce acquired Seapine, and rebranded the software as Helix ALM.

Functionality
The software tracks software development processes including feature requests and requirements to design revisions and actual changes in the code. It keeps track of what tests were done, what was tested, who performed the test and when, on what platform, under which configuration and in what language. It offers the ability to create, manage, and link artifacts from the beginning through the end of a design and development project providing end-to-end traceability of all development artifacts and giving managers a better handle on the shifting requirements that define their projects. It enforces regulatory compliance to meet regulatory compliance requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11 and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Architecture
Helix ALM has a client–server architecture. The server manages a central database of requirements, test cases, testing evidence, defects, feature requests, work items, test configurations, users, and security group. The client and  server communicate via a TCP/IP connection using 512-bit encryption.

Server
Helix ALM stores data in a variety of relational database management systems including SQL Server, Oracle, and Postgres.

Clients
There are several different categories of Helix ALM clients: GUI, Web UI, SOAP, REST API, and plugin.

The cross-platform GUI client is developed with Qt and available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It fully supports all end-user operations and administration operations.

The unified web application allows software developers and testers to create and review requirements, work with issues, and execute and track tests from their web browser.

Helix ALM's SOAP SDK allows language and platform independent way to extend built-in functionality by writing applications that access and manipulate its data.

The plugin interfaces integrate with popular IDEs to perform functionality, such as closing a defect or manually assign a work item to another team member, from the third-party applications. Helix ALM plugins are available for Eclipse, Visual Studio, Outlook, Excel, and QA Wizard. Helix ALM also integrates with various SCM tools including Git, CVS, Perforce, Subversion, Surround SCM, and SourceSafe.

Aviamilano CPV1. The Aviomilano CPV1, also known as the Arlecchino (), was an Italian high performance sailplane built in the early 1960s. Only one was built.

Design and development

The joint designers and builders of the CPV1 were a glider pilot, Amletto Zaneti and the owner of Aviamilano, Mario Vietri.  The design emphasised high performance in both weak and strong thermals. It was built at the Polytechnic University of Milan's  Centre for Flight (), hence its name.

Structurally the CPV1 was a wooden aircraft, covered in a mixture of plywood and fabric.  It had a long span, high aspect ratio, cantilever wing, which was straight tapered and had squared tipss.  It was built around a single main spar,  with ply covering forward of it to and around the leading edge forming a torsion resistant D-box.  Aft of the spar the wing was fabric covered.  Inboard of long ailerons, which occupied about half the span, there were Fowler flaps and also mid chord spoilers.  The wing carried some dihedral and was attached to the fuselage at the shoulder wing position.

The CPV1 had an ovoid cross-section, plywood skinned fuselage.  A long, single seat cockpit with a two piece canopy following the fuselage contours was placed ahead of the leading edge.  Under it a landing skid reached aft to a retractable single wheel, fitted with a brake, under the forward wing.  The fuselage tapered rearwards to a straight tapered tail with fabric covered control surfaces.  The fin and rudder were tall, the rudder reaching down to the keel.  The tailplane and elevators were at the top of the fuselage, far enough forward not to overlap with the rudder.

The sole CPV1 first flew in 1963.

Tranquillo Zerbi. Tranquillo Zerbi (1891-1939) was a leading Italian automotive engineer.

Early years
Zerbi attended primary school in Pisa before being relocated to Winterthur in Switzerland, and then moving again to The Grand Duchy of Baden which at this point was a not yet fully integrated part of  the German Empire.   It was here that Zerbi attended the Engineering School at the University of Mannheim, emerging in 1912 with a diploma in Mechanical engineering.

With his diploma, he returned to Winterthur, taking an internship with Sulzer, which enabled him to deepen his practical engineering knowledge and, in particular, to develop an expertise on diesel engines, which Sulzer had been producing since 1898.

Career 
Returning to Italy, Zerbi gained employment in Legnano with Franco Tosi & C, a pioneering business applying the newly emerging metal based mechanical technologies.   It was here that he worked under the direction of Ettore Maserati, one of five brothers soon to become famous following the foundation of the auto-business that bears their family name.   While at FTM Zerbi worked on the application of diesel engines to submarines.

In August 1919 he transferred to Fiat, where he was employed in the product development department, working on competition cars and, from 1925, also taking responsibility for the development of aero-engines destined for use in competition aircraft.
His masterpiece is a 3000 HP 24 Cylinder behemoth of an engine powering the world record-breaking Macchi Castoldi MC72 seaplane that reached a breathtaking 709 Km/H just before WW2, with pilot officer Francesco Agello at the controls. This engine is basically two siamezed Fiat Vee 12 engines, bolted together end to end (to reduce surface induced drag)  driving two contra-rotating two blades fixed pitch propellers.  

In 1929, after ten years with the company, he took over as director of the manufacturer’s extensive Technical Department, inspiring and leading product development projects across the company’s wide field of activities in what became an increasingly high-profile role, until March 1939.   1939 was also the year in which he was awarded the honorific status of a “Grande Ufficiale della Corona d'Italia”, in recognition by the state of his contribution to aeronautical progress.   Further public honours included his membership, and later the chairmanship, of the Technical Committee of the Ente nazionale italiano di unificazione (literally “National Unification Commission of Italy”).

Death came suddenly, on 10 March 1939, through a heart attack that followed an aggressive bout of influenza.   Tranquillo Zerbi left behind him a widow and three small children, and is buried on the cemetery at Pecetto Torinese, a quarter on the south side of Turin.   Zerbi was a committed Fascist and his funeral cortege was accordingly headed up by a Guard of Honour of Blackshirts.

John Knapton (engineer). John Knapton (born 10 March 1949) was Professor of structural engineering at University of Newcastle from 1991 to 2001, and has written a number of textbooks on the subject of concrete construction. He has also worked as a consultant and expert witness in matters relating to concrete, including a report for Lloyds insurers on whether the design of the World Trade Center towers had contributed to their collapse on 9/11: he concluded that "the way they were designed and built actually prevented them from falling over and thus would have saved around 100,000 lives which would have been directly in their paths had they fallen over."

Ivar Knudsen. Ivar Peter Bagger Knudsen (1 April 1861 – 23 March 1920) was a Danish engineer. As the director of Burmeister & Wain (B&W), Knudsen led the development of the , the biggest, most advanced diesel-powered vessel of its time.

Early life
Knudsen was born to Jens Elsbert Knudsen (1826–1901), a manager of a grocery firm, and Julie Vilhelmine Rønberg (1828–88). He was the brother of military physician Morten Knudsen and the women's rights activist Olga Knudsen. He trained to be a mechanic in Aarhus and worked in this profession until 1882 when he went to Copenhagen to study at the Technical University of Denmark. After finishing his studies in 1887 he was involved in the design of the fortifications of Copenhagen. He then worked as a mechanical engineer for the electric utility of Copenhagen.

Engineering career
In 1895 he joined B&W as chief mechanical engineer. He was promoted to Director of the engine department in 1897 where he started a comprehensive modernization. Knudsen realised the potential of the diesel engine as ship propulsion and traveled to Germany to meet Rudolf Diesel who was testing the new engines at MAN AG in Augsburg. Consequently B&W obtained the patent rights on the Diesel engine for Denmark. The following years saw numerous tests and improvements, eventually resulting in an efficient and reliable machine. In 1908 Knudsen became the head of both the machine factory in Christianshavn and the shipyard in Refshaleøen.

Hans Niels Andersen, founder of the East Asiatic Company, saw that diesel powered ships would mean a leap forward for the shipping industry, and in December 1910 placed an order with B&W for a large oceangoing motor ship, the .

The first voyage in February 1912, with Andersen and Knudsen on board, was from Copenhagen to Bangkok via London and Antwerp. The ship was received with great interest and many people visited the Selandia including the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, and other high ranking naval officers.

Selandia had two sister ships, the  and the ; finishing their sea trials in June 1912, and July 1912, respectively. The Fionia was met with similar interest in Germany during Kiel Week, where visitors included German Emperor Wilhelm II and Albert Ballin, director of the Hamburg America Line.

Knudsen resigned from the yard's daily management in April 1919, joining the company's board as an advisor.

Personal life
Knudsen is one of the men seen in Peder Severin Krøyer's monumental 1904 oil-on-canvas group portrait painting Men of Industry. He died "mysteriously" from food poisoning while on a trip to India on 23 March 1920. He is buried in Hellerup Cemetery. His grave has been removed. A large memorial stone was unveiled in Følle in 1932.

Awards
Order of the Dannebrog (1900)
Medal of Merit (1912)

Aviamilano A2. The Aviamilano A2 or  A2 Standard is an Italian high performance Standard Class sailplane first flown in 1964 and returned to production in 1966.

Design and development

The A2 was designed in the early 1960s at the Polytechnic University of Milan by Carlo Ferrarin, his cousin Francis Ferrarin and Livio Sonzio.  Their aim was to build a low cost, light weight but high performance glider.

The A2 is a single-seat cantilever mid-wing monoplane, its high-aspect-ratio wing built around an all-metal torsion box and spar. It is skinned with light alloy and has significant dihedral. In plan the wing has a constant chord central section occupying about half the span, with separable straight tapered outer panels.  The centre section trailing edges carries air brakes.

Its fuselage is similar to that of the Aviamilano CPV1, with a wooden structure and ovoid cross-section.  As before, the rear part is plywood skinned, but the forward part is covered with glass fibre.  A long, single, semi-reclining seat cockpit with a single piece canopy following the fuselage contours is placed ahead of the leading edge.  Under it, a rubber-sprung landing skid reaches aft to a retractable single wheel under the forward wing.  The fuselage tapers rearwards to a T-tail quite different from the CPV1's conventional empennage, with a swept, straight tapered fin and rudder carrying a cantilever, tapered, one-piece all-moving horizontal tail fitted with a central anti-balance tab.

The A2 first flew in 1964 and a short production run began in 1966. In all, five were built, one of which remained on the Italian civil register in 2010.

An Open-class version of the A2 was produced with  wings as the Aviamilano A3.

Variants
A2 or A2 Standard 15 m span Standard Class.
A3 18 m Open Class version.

Advanced Synchronization Facility. Advanced Synchronization Facility (ASF) is a proposed extension to the x86-64 instruction set architecture that adds hardware transactional memory support. It was introduced by AMD; the latest specification was dated March 2009. , it was still in the proposal stage. No released microprocessors implement the extension.

Features
ASF provides the capability to start, end and abort transactional execution and to mark CPU cache lines for protected memory access in transactional code regions. It contains four new instructions—SPECULATE, COMMIT, ABORT and RELEASE—and turns the otherwise invalid LOCK-prefixed MOVx, PREFETCH and PREFETCHW instructions into valid ones inside transactional code regions. Up to 256 levels of nested transactional code regions is supported.

The SPECULATE and COMMIT instructions mark the start and end of a transactional code region. Inside transactional code regions, the LOCK-prefixed MOVx reg/xmm, mem, PREFETCH and PREFETCHW instructions can mark up to four cache lines for protected memory access. Accesses from other processor cores to the protected cache lines result in exceptions, which in turn cause transaction aborts. Stores to protected cache lines must be performed using the LOCK MOVx mem, reg/imm/xmm instructions. Marked cache lines can be released from protection with the RELEASE instruction. Transaction aborts generated by hardware or explicitly requested through the ABORT instruction rolls back modifications to the protected cache lines and restarts execution from the instruction following the top-level SPECULATE instruction.

Jacobsen Manufacturing. Jacobsen Manufacturing is a former U.S. lawn mower and light-duty tractor manufacturer, in operation there from the early 1920s until around 2020. It was  located in Racine, Wisconsin, from 1921 to 2001, when It  moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2017, Jacobsen moved from Charlotte to Augusta, Georgia. In 2020, it would relocate to its sister factory of Ransomes-Jacobsen in Ipswich, England, UK. It has been owned by Textron since 1975.

History

Jacobsen Manufacturing was founded around the turn of the 20th century as a pattern-making shop by Knud Jacobsen, a Danish immigrant who came to Racine, Wisconsin, in 1891. A skilled woodworker, Jacobsen made patterns for automobiles, agricultural machines and electrical equipment. Jacobsen restructured his business as Thor Machine Works in 1917.
In 1921 it released the 4-Acre mower, a gasoline-powered reel mower marketed through Jacobsen Manufacturing. Not long after the Greens Mower was released. In 1928 Jacobsen made a notable contribution to small engines by inventing the recoil start, by 1932 all Jacobsen mowers used recoil starters.
The company continued to produce mowers for estates and golf courses throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and was not damaged by the Great Depression. Knud Jacobsen retired in 1939 and was succeeded as president by his son, Oscar Jacobsen.

In 1945 Jacobsen Manufacturing purchased the Worthington Mower Company of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, known for its gang mowers for golf courses, parks and airfields.
In 1949 the new subsidiary began making Model G tractors using Ford tractor components, mostly for use in parks and golf courses.
The company introduced new products, such as a tractor-mounted compressor in 1955.
It continued to make lawnmowers in Stroudsburg for golf course maintenance and for residential use until it closed around 1959.
Jacobsen manufactured under the Worthington brand until the mid-1960s.

The company had purchased the Johnston Lawn Mower Company of Ottumwa, Iowa, and used this division to enter the residential mower market, offering reel-type and rotary-type mowers for this market in the 1950s. The Javelin riding mower came out at the end of the 1950s, and the Jacobsen Chief garden tractor was launched in 1961 with the 100A which was electric start with 7 hp Kohler K161 and the 100B which was rope start with 7 hp Kohler K161.
In 1965 Ford entered the garden tractor market with their two models, T-800 powered by an 8 hp Kohler K181 and the T-1000 powered by a 10 hp Kohler K241. In 1966, Jacobsen Chief Tractors started using a Peerless 2300 and steering was improved as well as a style change. Jacobsen made tractors for Oliver, Ford, Minneapolis-Moline, and White.
Jacobsen also made light tractors aimed at the farm market, with innovative attachments to make the tractors more useful and to make them qualify for tax breaks.
Textron purchased Jacobsen in 1975, and still  produces Jacobsen garden tractors and mowers today at their factory in Ipswich, UK.

Rødvig Ship Motor Museum. Rødvig Ship Motor Museum (Danish: Rødvig Skibsmotormuseum) is located in Rødvig on Zealand, Denmark. It is one of several technical museums in Denmark. The museum  was started in 1987. As of 2013 the museum has a collection of approximately 400 different engines, produced mostly by now defunct Danish factories over the period 1898 to 1974. The engines range in size from small outboards up to one German MTU medium-sized diesel of 2 000 hp.

History
At one time or another there were about 140 different producers of marine engines in Denmark. In 2013, only five of those 140 companies are still active: Hundested Propeller, Burmeister & Wain, Grenaa Motor Fabrik, Callesen Diesel (merged with Bukh), & Bukh Diesel (merged with Callesen). Engines from over half of the former 140 Danish producers can be found at the museum. Some of these are in working order and can be run within the museum. Four such ready-to-run engines are hot-bulb semi-diesel types from: "Tuxham", "Hein & Sons", "Dan", and "Danmark" (Rudkøbing). The museum exhibits comprise a spectrum of marine engine development from 1898 onwards, as well as charting the simultaneous slow decline towards near extinction of marine engine manufacture in Denmark.

The museum's collection includes many other maritime articles besides engines. The museum also has an archive with extensive documentation and technical material about various engines and their manufacturers. It commemorated its 25th anniversary in September 2012.
