Hele Savin. Hele Irene Savin (née Väinölä; born 1 August 1977 in Imatra) is a Finnish scientist and inventor, best known for her research in solar cells and is a professor of micro and nanoelectronics at Aalto University. She is publicly known as an inventor and developer of high-efficiency solar cells using nanostructured, so-called black silicon.

Life and work 
Savin graduated from the Helsinki University of Technology (now part of Aalto University) with a master's degree in engineering (2000) and a doctorate in technology (2005). Her English-language dissertation, titled Controlling iron and copper Precipitation in Silicon wafers, studied ways in which silicon materials that are used in electronics can be more economical.

During her postgraduate studies, Savin visited the United States as a visiting researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California (2002–2003). As a postdoc researcher, she worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg, Germany (2009–2010). Later, she was a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2013) in Cambridge Massachusetts.

Savin is listed by the U.S. Patent Office as co-inventor of nine patented devices.

Savin received awards for her "pioneering research" in solar energy development of efficient solar cells with, among other things, the World Economic Forum's Young Scientist Award (2013), and the Parliament's EUR 110,000 Women's Innovation Award (2017). She is a member of the Academy of Technical Sciences.

Arskan. Arskan was a computer software company that was based in Lyon, France. It was founded in 2016 and developed technologies that allowed the visualisation of 3D data.

Description 
Arskan was a French company that developed technology for the compression and progressive transfer of massive 3D data. The technology originated from the research work of the LIRIS. They allow data visualization of massive 3D data on the web and are patented.

In 2017, Arskan and SATT Pulsalys signed an operating license for technologies from the Laboratory of Computer Science in Image and Information Systems (LIRIS).

In February 2023, Arskan went into liquidation.

Services 
Arskan marketed technologies for viewing and exploiting complex 3D files on the Internet. The size of the files is then reduced using compression algorithms, a technology from LIRIS, allowing the exploitation of data from massive 3D files.

Digital twins 
Arskan had been part of the CAJuN consortium: Automated creation and management of a collaborative, interactive and real-time digital twin. The other stakeholders in this consortium are Lyon Parc Auto, National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), National Institute of Applied Sciences of Rennes (INSA) and Pulsalys.

Projects

CAJuN project
For its first customer and beta-tester, Lyon Parc Auto, a parking operator company located in Lyon, ARSKAN generated the digital twin of the Cordeliers car park.

This is the CAJuN project, a consortium created at the instigation of ARSKAN, 40% financed by private funds and by public funds

A beta test is underway with a start-up from Roanne, to integrate data from its predictive maintenance algorithm into the digital twin generated by ARSKAN.

JUMOA project
The JUMOA project was launched in partnership with EDF Hydro to solve problems related to the maintenance of engineering structures and sensitive sites.

Fine arts and heritage
Arskan intervened for the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, generating the digital double of the statue of Korè, as well as the gallery of the doors of the Médamoud Temple

Golden Sahara II. The Golden Sahara II or Concept Goodyear Golden Sahara II is a futuristic concept car designed by American custom car designer George Barris, based on the 1953 Lincoln Capri, presented at the Petersen Motorama show in Los Angeles in 1954 and upgraded to Version II in 1956.

History 
The American custom car designer George Barris designed the Golden Sahara II based on the damaged chassis of his personal 1953 Lincoln Capri, with a 200 hp V8 engine.

The design is inspired by the jet era and futuristic Batmobiles of the 1950s, with glazed cockpit of a 1953 Lincoln Capri, luxurious gold-plated interior and exterior trim, translucent-luminous Goodyear tires, and advanced (and partly dummy) electronic equipment for the time: piloting controls inspired by aeronautics, automatic emergency braking based on obstacle sensors, electric door opening, voice control, radio, stereo system, tape recorder, television, telephone, and cocktail bar.

It was presented in many television programs of the time and inspired other futuristic concept cars of the era (such as the 1954 Ford FX-Atmos, 1955 Ford Mystere, 1955 Lincoln Futura, 1956 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket, and 1956 Lincoln Premiere).

Classic car 

It was purchased at an auction from its owner in 2018, and fully restored by Goodyear and the Klairmont Kollections car museum in Chicago, then successfully presented at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show.

No-load loss. No-load loss (also called "fixed loss") is a portion of the loss of electricity that does not depend on the power being distributed through an electric circuit, as opposed to the load loss. No-load loss typically depends on the operating voltage of a grid unit and can be attributed to:
 dielectric loss in cables;
 core loss in electric transformers;
 some types of losses in synchronous condensers (rotor surface losses, pulsating losses in stator teeth, and losses in the stator due to higher harmonics of the rotor field);
 loss in the electromechanical measuring devices (low, e. g. an "analog" electrical meter consumes less than 1.5 Watts of power);
 corona loss in high-voltage lines.

Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate. Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate, also commonly di(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate (DMEP), is a phthalate ester baring 2-methoxyethanol groups. Historically it was used as a plasticizer in cellulose acetate plastics, it is now largely banned owing to concerns over its effects to human health.

Rheinkniebrücke. The Rheinkniebrücke (English: Rhine knee bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge leading over the Rhine at the Rheinknie in Düsseldorf with a six-lane motor road and two combined pedestrian and cycle paths, which was opened to traffic on 16 October 1969.

History 
The decision to build the bridge was made in 1962. The architect Friedrich Tamms was entrusted with the development of the project. Fritz Leonhardt was appointed chief engineer. The bridge was built in 1965 by Deutsche Maschinenbau-Aktiengesellschaft (Demag AG), Gutehoffnungshütte, Aktienverein für Bergbau und Hüttenbetrieb and Hein, Lehmann & Co.. The bridge was commissioned on 16 October 1969. At the time of its opening, it was a cable-stayed bridge with the longest span in the world.

Location 
The bridge connects the Düsseldorf districts of Unterbilk and Oberkassel. The bridge got its name from its location.

Polyetherketones. Polyetherketones (PEK for short) are polymers whose molecular backbone contain alternating ketone (R-CO-R) and Ether (R-O-R) functionalities. The most common are Polyaryletherketones (PAEK), in which there is an aryl group linked in the (1–4)-position between each of the functional groups. The backbone, which is thus very rigid, gives the materials very high glass transition and melting temperatures compared to other plastics.

Synthesis 

Polyetherketones can be obtained by condensation of 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone and potassium or sodium salt of hydroquinone:

Types 
The most common of these high-temperature resistant materials is polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

Other types of polyetherketone are:

 PEKK = Polyetherketoneketone
 PEEKK = Polyether ether ketone ketone
 PEKEKK = Polyetherketoneetherketoneketone

Applications 
Space and aviation: aircraft parts (fins, wing flaps, nose caps, seats). Replacements for metal parts, also in the military field.

Machinery and automotive industry: high-performance molded parts such as bearing cages, gears, sealing rings, valve spring retainers, impellers. Coatings when high resistance to temperatures above 200 °C is required. Coatings made of PEEK or PEK, for example, are suitable for applications up to 230 °C (450 °F).

Electronics industry: wire and cable sheathing, flexible printed circuit boards, semiconductor production, offshore connectors.

Medical technology: endoscope handles, hip joint prostheses. Because polyetherketones can be sterilized without damaging them, PEK is often used for surgical applications.

Properties 
PEK has a high temperature resistance. It is also characterized by high wear resistance. In addition, polyetherketones are highly resistant to chemicals: They are resistant to non-oxidizing acids, grease, lubricants, water vapor, hot water, and concentrated alkalis.
