USC&GS Marindin. USC&GS Marindin was a launch that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1919 to 1944. She was the only Coast and Geodetic Survey ship to bear the name.

Marindin was built by the Canton Lumber Company at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1919.  She entered Coast and Geodetic Survey service that year.

Marindin spent her career on the United States East Coast. She worked as a wire-drag hydrographic survey vessel with the Coast and Geodetic Survey launch USC&GS Ogden.

On 10–11 December 1924, Marindin and the Coast and Geodetic survey launch USC&GS Mitchell aided a United States Marine Corps  motor sailer that had gone aground by pulling it off the rocks and towing it to the U.S. Marine Corps boathouse at St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. On 28 June 1922, she joined the Coast and Geodetic Survey survey ship USC&GS Ranger in searching for survivors of the schooner Rose Standish, which had burned off Morro Point Light, Puerto Rico, although none were found. From 4 to 12 September 1935, she and the Coast and Geodetic Survey launch USC&GS Elsie III helped in relief efforts in the Florida Keys following the passage of the violent 1935 Labor Day hurricane.

Marindin was retired from Coast and Geodetic Survey service in 1944.

Settle Hydro. Settle Hydro is a micro hydroelectric scheme, owned by the community, in Settle, North Yorkshire, England.
It is located on the River Ribble, at Settle Weir near Bridge End Mill. It generates 50 kW of electricity using a screw turbine in part of the former mill race.

History 

Settle weir was built across the Ribble to provide a head for the Bridge End Mill which was built to mill corn and was then converted to spin cotton. Later the mill became a woodworking shop turning imported cedar into furniture for local chapels. Although the wheel still turns, it is not connected to a shaft and the mill building has been converted to housing.

Planning permission and the Abstraction Licence were granted in February 2009 and the share issue started in September 2008 raised the necessary capital of £410,000. Lakeland Marine Construction began work in June 2009 and completed it in October with Settle Hydro Ltd generating electricity by November of the same year. Over the forty-year lifetime of the scheme that generates 165,000 kWh per annum, it is envisaged that 3,200 tonnes of carbon will be saved.

The screw was constructed in Germany.

Despite the installation of a fish ladder adjacent to the screw, the fish numbers upstream have dropped and it is believed that the noise from the screw is scaring the salmon. During periods of low water flow the turbine automatically shuts down to maintain a constant flow of water through the fish ladder.

Boilery. A boilery or boiling house is a place of boiling, much as a bakery is a place of baking.  Boilery can also mean the process and equipment for boiling. Although they are now generally confined to factories, and usually boil industrial products rather than food, historically they were more common in daily life. Boileries are typically for boiling large quantities of fluid.

In the 17th to 19th centuries, boileries were used to convert sugarcane juice into raw sugar. These boileries were usually sturdy places, built from stone, and contained several copper kettles, each with a furnace beneath it.,  Sugarcane juice was treated with lime in large clarifying vats, before it was heated in copper kettles over individual furnaces. Due to their importance, many Western sugar plantations had their own boileries on site.  

Soap would also be made in a boiling house.  

Another use for a boilery is to make salt through the evaporation of brine water.

NHydrate. nHydrate is an object-relational mapping (ORM) solution for the Microsoft .NET platform providing a framework for a relational database to be mapped to .NET objects. It is designed to alleviate the drudgery software developers experience writing persistence domains.

nHydrate is free as an open source project on GitHub.com under the MIT License.

nHydrate was originally created in 2003 as a private project to solve the issues with the .NET Framework 1.1. Using ADO.Net Datasets is cumbersome and error prone, so a small generated framework was created to relieve developers of the CRUD work. As a private project it was later inspired by the work of the NHibernate group.

nHydrate was a private project from 2003 until 2009. It was used at various companies in the Atlanta, Georgia, area but never widely released. It was publicly released on September 10, 2009.

nHydrate is built on the .NET Framework 4.0.

From version 5.0 and above, the entire framework has been reworked to use only Entity Framework as it internal data access layer. The modeler is now visual with a main diagram like other modeling products. All code interactions are simply Entity Framework now so there is no learning curve for developers when using the generated output.

Feature summary
nHydrate's primary feature is mapping .NET objects to an SQL server database. The CRUD layer (create, update, delete) is also implemented. There are numerous retrieval mechanism facilities. nHydrate generates the SQL for all CRUD operations as well as advanced LINQ capabilities. The product is not database portable. The framework is designed to work exclusively with Microsoft SQL Server. There is an internal project to use MySql but this is not yet a public release.

The tool is entirely sited within Visual Studio.NET and all model maintenance and generation is handled directly from the environment. There are no XML files or other complex configuration scenarios to navigate like almost all other ORM tools. The VS.NET plugin GUI editor provides an interface to interact with a visual model and edit a model.

History
nHydrate was started by Michael Knight, and later added Chris Davis. By 2006, the platform had much of its current functionality, minus LINQ, and was being used in applications in the Atlanta area. By 2009, the advanced functionality had been added like inheritance, LINQ, and VS.NET integration.

Karkheh Dam. The Karkheh Dam () is a large multi-purpose earthen embankment dam built in Iran on the Karkheh River in 2001 by the contractor of Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Central Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The dam is in the northwestern province of Khūzestān, the closest city being Andimeshk to the east. It is  high and has a reservoir capacity of 5.9 billion cubic meters. The Karkheh Dam is designed to irrigate  of land, produce 520 MW of hydro-electricity and prevent downstream floods.

Mean annual electricity generation is approximately 700 GWh. Based on IWPCO records, dam's power plant generated total of 4,941 GWh electricity during 2002–2008. In 2014 the maximum water in the reservoir of the dam reached  and it is estimated that this number will be even less in 2015.

Hawizeh Marshes is affected by the torrential sediments of rivers such as Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq and Karkheh in Iran. Karkheh dam caused to decline the quantity of entering water to the wetland and following it, the wetland extend has been reduced remarkably.

Construction
In 1956, studies began on the Karkheh Dam by the American company Development and Resources Corporation, which was headed by David E. Lilienthal, the former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). In 1990, the final studies and design were completed by Mahab Ghodss Consulting Engineers, directed by master engineer Mohammad Soleymani. 
The engineering division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) started construction on the Karkheh Dam in 1992 and the dam was complete in 2001. During construction, 120 contractual and over eight consultative companies worked on the dam; 5,000 workers constructed the dam and 40 were killed in the process.

Cranfield A1. The Cranfield A1 Eagle is a British single-seater aerobatics monoplane, powered by a flat-six engine. Two seats can be fitted for training purposes. Only one was built.

Design and development

The A1 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane. The wing has straight edges, with sweep only on the leading edge, and squared tips.  It is a single piece structure of light alloy construction, with Frise type mass balanced ailerons which are fabric covered aft of the spar; a ground adjustable trim tab is fitted on the port side.  There are no flaps.  The empennage is also straight tapered and of similar construction to the wing, though the rudder is fabric covered. There is a small dorsal fin.  All rear control surfaces are horn balanced; the tailplane's incidence can be adjusted on the ground and the starboard elevator has a ground adjustable trim tab.

The fuselage is a mostly fabric covered welded tube structure with wooden formers, though the upper decking is plywood.
The cockpit has a side hinged bubble canopy.  Normally flown as a single seater, a second seat can be added for training.  The fixed, conventional undercarriage is from a de Havilland Chipmunk, with hydraulic brakes in the wheels.

The A1's construction was delayed by funding problems: though design work began in 1968, the first flight was not made until 1976. By mid-1977 some 40 hours had been flown under the power of a 156 kW (210 hp) Rolls-Royce Continental IO-360-D.  This was then replaced with a 209 kW (280 hp) Lycoming IO-540-D (Special) driving a three blade propeller which markedly improved the performance. Revised ailerons were fitted, the rudder horn balanced and heightened.

Only one aircraft (G-BCIT) was built and this remains in store at Cranfield in 2010.

Rigault RP.01B. The Rigault RP.01B was a French-built high-wing single-engined ultralight aircraft of the 1950s.

Development

The RP.01B was a one-off aircraft which was designed and built by Monsieur Paul Rigault at Mitry-Mory airfield to the NE of Paris. The airfield now forms part of the site of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.

The aircraft was fitted with high-set wings which were supported by twin struts, a fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a single seat for the pilot owner. It was powered by a nine-cylinder Salmson 9 ADB air-cooled radial engine. It was of conventional wooden construction with plywood and fabric-covered fuselage and fabric-covered wings and control surfaces.

Operational history

M. Rigault completed the aircraft during 1958 and named it "Le Napalm". He flew it regularly until at least early 1965. The RP.01B is no longer extant.

Fisher Flying Products. Fisher Flying Products is a Canadian aircraft manufacturer that produces kits for a wide line of light aircraft. The company's kits all feature wooden construction with aircraft fabric covering. Many of the designs are reproductions of classic aircraft, such as the company's 80% Fisher R-80 Tiger Moth that is based upon the de Havilland Tiger Moth.

History
Founded by Michael E. Fisher and Wayne Ison in the early 1980s as Lite Flite Inc, Aero Visions and later Fisher Aero Corporation, ownership of Fisher Flying Products was later passed to Gene and Darlene Jackson-Hanson in 1984. The company was originally based in South Webster, Ohio and later Edgeley, North Dakota, USA. In 2007 the Jackson-Hansons decided to sell the company and retire.

The company was purchased by Paul Riedlinger and moved to Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada. By early 2009 the new owner had re-established the manufacturing operation and commenced producing kits, starting with the Dakota Hawk and the FP-202. By late 2009 all kits were once again available.

The first two designs the company built were the Fisher Flyer, which incorporated a new fuselage and tail and the existing wings from the UFM Easy Riser hang glider and the Fisher Barnstormer, a negative stagger biplane. Plans and kits for the latter design were offered in the early 1980s.

On 15 January 2014 president Paul Riedlinger announced that the company was for sale. In mid-2014 the company was sold to Dave Hertner, owner of Effectus AeroProducts, and moved to Dorchester, Ontario.

In 2022, Ckdpack Inc. bought a majority stake in the company and named Arun Modgil as company head. The company intends to manufacture kits at Ckdpack's plants, located on three continents.

Aircraft 

The company currently has 15 different designs available and had over 3,500 aircraft flying in 2007.

Nooitgedacht, Veenoord. Nooitgedacht () is a smock mill in  Veenoord, Drenthe, in the Netherlands, which has been restored to working order. The mill was built (in its current location) in 1916 and is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 33786.

History
In 1862, a corn and barley mill was moved from Vlagtwedde and rebuilt close to the site of the present mill for miller Johannes van Aalst. This mill burnt down in 1904. To replace it, an oil mill was moved from Mensingeweer by millwright Van Ausselt. This mill was struck by lightning and burnt down in 1916. Van Ausselt and millwright Huberts, from Coevorden, moved a mill from Hankate, Overijssel, to replace it. This was the third move for that mill, which was originally built in 1732 as a barley mill at Leeuwarden, Friesland. By 1749 it was also an oil mill. It was moved between 1786 and 1805 to Heerenveen, Friesland, where it was known as Het Fortuin (English: The Fortune). In 1892 it was moved to Hankate, where the mill was known as the Molen van Kappert. The mill was worked until at least 1952, when it was sold to the Instituut voor de Landbouw. In 1973 it was transferred to De Hollandsche Molen and later still to Stichting Drentse Molens (English: Drenthe Mills Society).

Description

Nooitgedacht is what the Dutch describe as an "achtkante stellingmolen". It is a two-storey smock mill with a stage on a three-storey brick base. The stage is at second-floor level,  above ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by a tailpole and winch. The four Common sails have a span of  and are carried in a cast-iron windshaft which was cast by Enthuizen in 1872. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 73 cogs. This drives the wallower (48 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the great spur wheel, which has 92 cogs, drives the  diameter French Burr stones via a lantern pinion stone nut with 20 staves.
