Matrix-M. Matrix-M is a vaccine adjuvant, a substance that is added to various vaccines to stimulate the immune response. It was patented in 2020 by Novavax and  is composed of nanoparticles from saponins extracted from Quillaja saponaria (soapbark) trees, cholesterol, and phospholipids. It is an immune stimulating complex (ISCOM), which are nanospheres formed when saponin is mixed with two types of fats.

Adjuvants increase the body's immune response to a vaccine by creating higher levels of antibodies. They can either enhance, modulate, and/or prolong the body's immune response, reducing the number of vaccinations needed for immunization.

The Matrix-M adjuvant is used in a number of vaccine candidates, including the malaria vaccine R21/Matrix-M, influenza vaccines, and in the approved Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. In 2021, the R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine candidate showed a 72% in sites with seasonal implementation and 67% in sites with age-based implementation in the modified per-protocol analysis. /> In influenza vaccine candidates, Matrix-M was shown to offer cross-protection against multiple strains of influenza.

Novavax is also testing a combined flu and COVID-19 vaccine candidate with Matrix-M.

CEA-101 CB.1 Gaivota. The CEA-101 CB.1 Gaivota (Brazilian name for the seagull bird), is a single-seat sailplane of high-wing construction designed in 1963 in Brazil.

It was designed by the Portuguese engineer and professor Cláudio de Barros. The CEA-101 was of great importance for the further development of aviation in Minas Gerais. The Minas Gerais Gliding Club used the aircraft as a training aircraft until the early 1980s. After that, the CB.1 was lost in a hangar for a while. In 2001, with the help of former students of DEMEC and aviation friends of CEA, it was restored and since 2003 it is again airworthy with the registration PP-ZTZ.

Embraer next-generation turboprop. The Next-generation turboprop is a regional airliner concept proposed by Embraer, powered by turboprop engines.

Development 
By May 2019, Embraer was considering developing a new family of turboprop regional airliners in the 50–70 seat range, complementing the E-Jet E2, so as to free engineering resources. By July 2020, it had evolved into the 70–100 passenger range
In October 2020, Embraer released conceptual depictions of the 75–90 seat airliner, with a fuselage similar to the E-Jet and turboprops above a low wing but a different T-tail design.
It would compete against older ATR and Dash 8 designs for 1.5 to 2 h flights over .

In August 2021, Embraer released a new configuration with quieter aft-mounted engines for a 70-90 seat aircraft, with the E-Jet cross-section, aiming for a 2022 launch and a 2027/2028 service entry.
Over a  sector, a 74-seat TPNG 70 would burn 5% less fuel than a 70-seat ATR-72 and 13% less than the 80-seat Dash 8-400; while the 90-seat TPNG would save 18% per seat compared with the ATR, and 25% compared with the Dash.
Embraer forecasts a market for 2,260 turboprops in the two decades following 2022.

Embraer Short Take Off Utility Transport. The Short Take Off Utility Transport (STOUT) is a light military transport aircraft concept proposed by Embraer.

Development 

In December 2019, Embraer and the Brazilian Air Force tackled the development of a light military transport aircraft.
Renderings of a proposed hybrid electric aircraft with STOL capabilities were shown in November 2020.
The Short Take Off Utility Transport (STOUT) would replace its 64 EMB-110 Bandeirante (average age of 38.3 years) and 19 EMB-120 Brasilia (average age of 26.5 years) with similar dimensions.
Powered by two turboprops also generating power for electric-driven propellers on wingtips, it would serve remote, unpaved 1,200 m (3,940 ft) runways and have a 1,310 nm (2,425 km) range.
It could carry ULD pallets for a maximum payload of  loaded with a rear cargo ramp, or 24 paratroopers or 30 soldiers; or serve as an air ambulance.

It would have a T-tail and a fuselage comparable to the 65-ft. 7-in. (20-m) long EMB 120 but wider.
Only concept studies are funded, a development program could follow after 2027 and commercial applications could include island hopping.

Emily E. Tassey. Emily Evans Tassey  (née Rowland, 1823 –1899) was a 19th century American inventor. Tassey earned patents for five inventions, all related to marine propulsion technology from 1876 to 1880.

They include improved apparatus for raising sunken vessels, improvements in siphon propeller pumps and a dredging machine. Tassey was one of a small group of women during the nineteenth century who specialized in machine inventions.

Biography 
Emily Evans Rowland was born on December 15, 1823, to a father who was a merchant and owner of a textile mill, a general store and a post office in the town of McKeesport, located east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Emily was educated as a teacher at Steubenville Seminary in Ohio and was a teacher in the McKeesport School prior to being married to William D. Tassey a lawyer, in 1845. They had three children but her husband died unexpectedly in 1857 while on a trip to Tennessee, so Tassey returned to teaching in the public schools in Pittsburgh and McKeesport. It is possible she turned to invention as a means to support herself and her children.

Her McKeesport hometown was a booming port on the Monongahela River during the 1870s when Tassey began inventing in earnest. Due largely to the dominant influence of the local steel mill works and supporting industries, river traffic was brisk, carrying coal, ore, coke and finished-steel products. In addition steamboats carried cargo and passengers from McKeesport downriver to the Ohio River and onward to ports on the Mississippi. In addition, the region's first dry-docks were built in McKeesport in 1836 to repair river craft, thus offering Tassey a natural environment for inventing improvements in marine technology. In only four years, from 1876 to 1880, she would earn five patents—all related to marine technology and propulsion systems in spite of the history of the invention field in 1880 when "women comprised a scant 1-2% of all patent recipients."

At the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, Tassey exhibited two of her inventions, improvement in siphon propeller-pumps, 1876, and the siphon propeller-pump inventions, 1880

Unfortunately, Tassey did not gain wealth of fame in her lifetime.

Tassey died on November 27, 1899. She is buried in The McKeesport and Versailles Cemetery in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.

Fábrica do Galeão. Fábrica do Galeão was a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer established in Rio de Janeiro at Galeão Air Force Base.

History
In 1938, the Brazilian Navy set up a workshop at Ilha do Governador to repair and maintain its aircraft. In the same year was signed an agreement for production of aircraft from Focke-Wulf under license. With the outbreak of the World War II, plans to manufacture other German models were halted. In order not to have to stop the activities, an US-American manufacturer was chosen, Fairchild Aircraft. 

In 1950, and now under the command of the Brazilian Air Force, the Austrian aeronautical engineer Paul Baumgärtl collaborated on several projects for the Galeão, such as the PB-63 helicopter. At the same time, the factory decided to look for a basic trainer for training new pilots, and the choice fell on the Niess 1-80.

In 1952, Fokker Indústria Aeronáutica S/A was created, a partnership between the federal government and Fokker to manufacture basic trainers for the aeronautics, they used the Galeão facilities until the late 1950s, when it closed for lack of investments.

The company was disbanded in 1962, and the facility was used only to repair and perform aircraft maintenance, until it closed in October 1965.

CAST-31. CAST-31, Technical Clarifications Identified for RTCA DO-254 / EUROCAE ED-80 is a Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST) Position Paper. It is an FAA publication that "does not constitute official policy or guidance from any of the authorities", but is provided for educational and informational purposes only for applicants for software and hardware certification.

Contents  
DO-254/ED-80 was introduced in 2000, but, unlike DO-178C, has not been updated to address concerns coming from decades of experience with applying the guidance of the standard; including errors, omissions, and advances in technology. This CAST Position Paper was created as both needed interim clarifications and a starting point for eventual development and release of an updated DO-254/ED-80.

Concerns identified in the Position Paper include:
 a few known errors in the standard, largely concerning consistency within the document (definition of complex) and across related processes (usage of IDAL),
 a compilation of recognized omissions to be added (notably, increased resolution in addressing hardware of ranging complexity, from extremely simple to highly complex) with identification of published sources for information on the omitted topics,
 updates to the revision status of referenced publications that have been modified since the standard’s release, particularly ARP 4754A/ED79A and DO-178C, and
 various additional content clarifications.

Where this Position Paper identifies an omission or need for clarification in DO-254, it generally identifies a section within either FAA Order 8110.105 or EASA CM-SWCEH-001 where the issue is discussed.

While DO-254/ED-80 has not been updated, this Position Paper is no longer provided on the FAA website because the "model for certification authority harmonization has changed since CAST's inception and now includes direct collaboration with industry on technical topics."
