Autoped. 

The Autoped was an early motor scooter or motorized scooter manufactured by the Autoped Company of Long Island City, New York from 1915 to 1922.

The driver stood on a platform with 10-inch tires and operated the machine using only the handlebars and steering column, pushing them forward to engage the clutch, using a lever on the handlebar to control the throttle, and pulling the handlebars and column back to disengage the clutch and apply the brake. After riding, the steering column would be folded onto the platform to store the scooter more easily. The engine was an air-cooled, 4-stroke, 155 cc engine over the front wheel. The bike came with a headlamp and tail lamp, a Klaxon horn, and a toolbox. It was quite efficient, but was not widely distributed.

A patent for the Autoped as a "self-propelled vehicle" was applied for in July 1913 and granted in July 1916. An early description of the Autoped described it as having a hollow steering column that acted as the fuel tank.  However, the production version had a fuel tank above the front mudguard.

The Autoped went out of production in the United States in 1921, but was manufactured by Krupp in Germany from 1919 to 1922.

David A. Hodges. David Albert Hodges (1937–2022) was an American electrical engineer, digital telephony pioneer, and professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

Hodges was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1983 for innovative contributions to integrated circuit design techniques and their application to data and signal processing.

Education and career 
Hodges received his B.E.E. degree from Cornell University in 1960, and his M.S. (1961) and Ph.D. (1966) from Berkeley. From 1966-1970 he worked at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill and Holmdel, NJ. In 1970 he joined the faculty in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, where he has served as professor, department chair, and dean.

He helped establish metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) devices as a practical technology for telephony applications, which led to the rapid development and wide adoption of pulse-code modulation (PCM) digital telephony. The MOS mixed-signal integrated circuit, which combines analog and digital signal processing on a single chip, was developed by Hodges with Paul R. Gray at UC Berkeley in the early 1970s. In 1974, Hodges and Gray worked with R.E. Suarez to develop MOS switched capacitor (SC) circuit technology, which they used to develop the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chip, using MOSFETs and MOS capacitors for data conversion. The silicon-gate CMOS (complementary MOS) PCM codec-filter chip, developed by Hodges and W.C. Black in 1980, has since been the industry standard for digital telephony.

Awards 
Hodges is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an IEEE Fellow. He received the 1999 ASEE Benjamin Garver Lamme Award, 1997 IEEE James H. Mulligan, Jr. Education Medal, and, with Robert W. Brodersen and Paul R. Gray, the 1983 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award for pioneering work on switched capacitor circuits. Received the IEEE Richard M. Emberson Award in 2017.

Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Station. Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant is located at Yamuna Nagar in Haryana. The power plant is one of the coal based power plants of HPGCL. It was jointly constructed by Reliance Energy Limited and Shanghai Electric (China) in a collaboration. This plant is named after Sir Chhotu Ram.

History

The project was first conceived in 1981-82 but it remained in suspended animation for more than two decades. The previous governments tried to implement the project, first through the private sector, then through the National Thermal Power Corporation, and thereafter attempts were also made to get it executed through foreign investments. But the project remained only on paper because governments were not serious about  setting up this project.
Former Indian prime minister, P V Narasimha Rao even laid the foundation stone of this project through remote control from Faridabad in March 1993.
At that time, the project was planned to be executed by NTPC, but that too could not go beyond construction of a few residential and non-residential buildings.
In year 2004 then chief minister of Haryana Om Prakash Chautala again laid the stone of this thermal plant but again the project remained on papers only. But in year 2005 the new chief minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda gave nod to the project and the plant was finally developed in 2005-2008.

Power plant
Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Station has an installed capacity of 600 MW. The First unit was commissioned in April 2008. This is the first project in the state to award to private developer.
The total available land of the project is 1107 acres. 
First unit was commissioned in a record period of 27 months which is the lowest for any coal based green field project in the country. The plant gets coal from Central coal fields.

Installed capacity

Future Expansions
HPGCL has announced the expansion of this plant. A 800 MW capacity additional super critical Thermal Unit at Yamuna Nagar will be operational by 2027.
HPGCL has issued an order to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited for EPC contract of 800MW unit which is likely to completed within 48-57 months.

Ruby Pipeline. The Ruby Pipeline is a 680-mile, 42-in. diameter natural gas pipeline running from Opal, Wyoming, to Malin, Oregon.  The route crosses Northern Utah, and Northern Nevada.  Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C. filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on January 27, 2009, authorizing the construction and operation of the Ruby Pipeline Project. On April 5, 2010, the FERC approved the application. Construction began on July 31, 2010, and the pipeline was placed in service on July 28, 2011.  The pipe is  long with an expected capacity of .

Controversy
There is concern that the project crosses more than 1000 rivers and streams and, according to the Center for Biological Diversity, threatens some endangered fish species.

The Center for Biological Diversity and Summit Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency action blocking the pipeline.  Despite not winning the injunction requests, the Court ultimately ruled in their favor, finding that environmental reviews for the pipeline's impacts to endangered fish species and sagebrush habitats did not comply with environmental laws.

On April 1, 2022, Ruby Pipeline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Preesm. PREESM (the Parallel and Real-time Embedded Executives Scheduling Method) is an open-source rapid prototyping and code generation tool. It is primarily employed to simulate signal processing applications and generate code for multi-core Digital Signal Processors. PREESM is developed at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications-Rennes (IETR) in collaboration with Texas Instruments France in Nice.

The PREESM tool inputs are an algorithm graph, an architecture graph, and a scenario which is a set of parameters and constraints that specify the conditions under which the deployment will run. The chosen type of algorithm graph is a hierarchical extension of Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) graphs named Interface-Based hierarchical Synchronous Dataflow (IBSDF). The architecture graph is named System-Level Architecture Model (S-LAM). From these inputs, PREESM maps and schedules automatically the code over the multiple processing elements and generates multi-core code.

Branko Marinković. Branko Goran Marinković Jovičević (born 21 August 1967) is a Bolivian electrochemical engineer, economist, businessman, and politician who served as the Minister of Development Planning and Minister of Economy and Public Finance during the interim presidency of Jeanine Áñez.

Biography
Branko Goran Marinković Jovičević was born on 21 August 1967 in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. He is the son of a Croatian father and Montenegrin mother who emigrated to Bolivia from Yugoslavia in 1954. Marinković also holds Croatian passport.
 
He studied electromechanical engineering and economics and finance at the University of Texas in the United States. Marinković is important in the Oilseeds Industry in Bolivia since 2000 and is president of the Federation of Private Entrepreneurs since 2004 and vice chairman of Banco Económico.

He was elected President of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee in 2007.

Marinković was an opponent of President Evo Morales.

In the documentary, Who is Branko Marinković, which aired on Bolivian national television, Marinković was depicted as pro-Ustaše, although his father reportedly was as a member of the Partisans. In that same documentary, Marinković is shown as a citizen of Croatia.

In December 2010, Bolivia's prosecutor had filed charges against 39 people, including Marinković, for 2009 alleged plot aimed at killing Evo Morales and starting an armed rebellion. Marinković, and other leading opposition leaders argued that in no way were they are associated with the plot. Marinković was forced into exile in Brazil while fearing for his life. He claimed his innocence and has said the following: "The Bolivian government pursues me and forced me to live outside my beloved Bolivia, because in Bolivia my life would be threatened. I have no guarantees that I would be allowed a fair trial."

Following the 2019 Bolivian political crisis, Marinković returned to Bolivia.

On 5 August 2020, interim president Jeanine Áñez appointed him Minister of Development Planning. He was reassigned to the Ministry of Economics and Public Finance following the resignation of Óscar Ortiz. Marinković held this position from 28 September 2020 until 6 November 2020 when he resigned along with other members of the Áñez cabinet to facilitate the transfer of power to the newly elected President, Luis Arce.

On 11 November 2020, Fundación TIERRA brought a petition to the Bolivian Senate and Courts alleging that he had facilitated the illegal sale of over 33,000 hectares of land to himself and members of his family.

Ranney collector. A Ranney Collector is a type of radial well used to extract water from an aquifer with direct connection to a surface water source like a river or lake.  The amount of water available from the collector is typically related more to the surface water source than to the piezometric surface of the aquifer.

Description
A caisson is constructed of reinforced concrete and installed into sand or gravel below the surface level of an adjacent river or lake.  Screened conduits (also referred to as laterals or lateral well screens) are extended horizontally from ports in the caisson about 60 meters (200 feet) into surrounding water-bearing alluvium. The radial arrangement of screens forms a large infiltration gallery with a single central withdrawal point.  A single collector may produce as much as 25 million gallons per day.  Bank filtration of water through aquifer soils may reduce water treatment requirements.

History
Texas petroleum engineer Leo Ranney drilled horizontally for oil in the early 1920s.  The first Ranney collector for water was installed in London in 1933.  Hundreds of Ranney collectors have been built since.
