Corbett's/Eby's Mill Bridge. Corbett's/Eby's Mill Bridge is a historic structure located northeast of Scotch Grove, Iowa, United States. It spans the Maquoketa River for . James S. Applegate established a gristmill near this location in 1858. He was joined by John Corbett, who obtained ownership by 1868 and expanded the operation and added a sawmill. He petitioned the Jones County Board of Supervisors for an iron bridge at this location in 1870. They agreed to pay two-thirds of the construction costs with the final third paid for by local subscriptions. The contract to construct this bridge and a similar span in Monticello was made with Miller, Jamison & Company of Cleveland. Both are single span bowstring truss bridges that were completed in November 1871. This bridge has always been identified with the mill. Samuel Eby acquired it in 1875, and it remained in the family until 1913. The bridge was originally on a loop road that circled behind the mill pond. When County Road X73 was created in 1958 it bypassed the bridge to the south. The bridge has been under private ownership ever since. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Pokito. Pokito is the brand name of an ultra portable reusable cup that can be collapsed to a few centimetres when not in use and so can be stored easily in a pocket or purse. It was invented by the Canadian inventor Andrew Brooks.

History 
Andrew Brooks got the idea of designing a reusable cup when, in 2006, he saw fe felled forest destined for a paper mill. Around 2012, he came up with the concept of the cup. He then worked with engineers and designers to fine-tune his concept, and requested a patent on his invention in 2015. The patent was granted in December 2017. After two years of product development, it was launched on Kickstarter and raised more than £100,000.

Name 
Pokito is derived from the Spanish for "a little" - poquito - but is spelled with a "ki" for ease of pronunciation.  It is also a reference to "pocket" in English, alluding to its ultra portability.

Description 
Pokito is an ultra portable reusable cup that can be collapsed to a few centimetres when not in use and so can be stored easily in a pocket or purse.  It can also be unfolded into different sizes: "grande" (16oz or 475ml), "medio" (12oz or 350ml) or "espresso" (8oz or 230ml). Once a drink has been consumed in the cup, the remaining dregs of coffee are kept inside without leakage, even when the cup is folded back.

Pokito has been designed to reduce the usage of disposable cups. It also saves energy if the cup is used more than 15 times. It is made of a synthetic rubber called thermoplastic elastomer which has been independently tested and compliant to EU and FDA regulations. Pokito is manufactured entirely in the UK from materials that have been designed especially for durability and safety. Omega Plastics manufactures the cups which are sold £15 per unit.

Multibeam Corporation. Multibeam is an American corporation that engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. Headquartered in Santa Clara, in the Silicon Valley, Multibeam is led by Dr. David K. Lam, the founder and first CEO of Lam Research. Multibeam Corporation is a member of the eBeam Initiative.

History

Multibeam shipped its first MEBL platform to SkyWater Technology, in Bloomington, Minnesota, in July 2024.

Technology
Multibeam developed miniature, all-electrostatic columns for e-beam lithography, that provide a maskless and high throughput platform for writing nanoscale IC patterns seamlessly across full wafers. Arrays of e-beam columns operate simultaneously and in parallel to increase wafer processing speed. With over 35 patents issued, these multi-column e-beam lithography (MEBL) systems enable an array of direct write lithography applications, including Complementary E-Beam Lithography (CEBL), Secure Chip ID, Advanced Packaging Interposers, Photonics, and other applications where precise, nanometer-scale features are required.

Applications

 Complementary Electron Beam Lithography (CEBL) works with optical lithography to pattern cuts (of lines in "lines-and-cuts" layout) and holes (i.e., contacts and vias) with no masks.
 Secure Chip ID embeds unique security information in each IC including chip ID, IP or MAC address, and chip-specific information such as keys used in encryption. Chip ID is used for supply chain traceability and to detect counterfeits. Hardware-embedded encryption keys are used to authenticate software. Chip-specific information written into bit registers is non-volatile.
 Advanced Packaging Interposers can be used in chip fabrication in semiconductor chip packaging applications where high performance, low power, long battery life and compact size are needed.  Patterns can be varied on a small scale over a large field with nanometer resolutions. Used in high volume or batch production of System in a Package (SiP), MEMS & Sensor Packaging, Fan Out Packaging, and 2.5D/3D IC Packaging.
 Photonics applications benefit from the flexibility of creating high precision curvilinear and varying patterns over wide fields of view for the generation, control, and channeling of light.

Jim Umpleby. Donald James "Jim" Umpleby III is an American businessman. He became the CEO of Caterpillar Inc. as of January 2017, and chairman of the Caterpillar board of directors in December 2018.

Biography

Early life and education
Umpleby was raised in Highland, Indiana, and attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1980.

Career
After graduating from Rose-Hulman, Umpleby joined Solar Turbines, Inc. in San Diego, California, shortly thereafter. Umpleby became a Caterpillar vice president and president of Solar Turbines in 2010. Immediately prior to becoming CEO in 2017, Umpleby was group president of Caterpillar’s energy and transportation business segment. On December 12, 2018, the Caterpillar board of directors elected Umpleby to be chairman of the board, effective immediately, in addition to his CEO role.

In September 2017, Caterpillar held a conference for investors at which Umpleby presented the details of a new corporate strategy focused on profitable growth, through expanded product offerings, increased focus on operational excellence and providing services in digitally-enabled technologies and other areas that support customers. 
Barron’s, a U.S.-based financial magazine, described the new corporate strategy stating, “…investors can expect a more return-focused company . . . with a new approach similar to what we have seen from its peers, such as Deere (DE), Parker Hannifin (PH), Cummins (CMI) and Illinois Tool Works (ITW) that are further along this journey. If executed, we believe that this should drive improved financial returns, which are currently in the middle of the pack, and a possible re-rating of the stock over time.”

Umpleby was elected to the board of directors of the Chevron Corporation effective March 1, 2018.

Capivara-Confusões Ecological Corridor. The Capivara-Confusões Ecological Corridor () is an ecological corridor in the caatinga biome of the state of Piauí in northeast Brazil.

Location

The Capivara-Confusões Ecological Corridor links the  Serra da Capivara National Park to the  Serra das Confusões National Park  to the west, both in the state of Piauí.
It has an area of .
It includes the municipalities of São Raimundo Nonato, Canto do Buriti, Tamboril do Piauí, Brejo do Piauí, São Braz do Piauí, Anísio de Abreu, Jurema, Caracol and Guaribas.

The corridor is managed by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) in partnership with representatives of federal, state and municipal governments, Museum of American Man Foundation (Fumdham), Federation of Agricultural Workers of Bahia (FETAG), Federal University of Piauí, non-governmental organizations, agrarian reform settlers and others. 
The National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) has said they will maintain a legal reserve of 30% of each settlement in the corridor, and will allocate most settlements for preservation according to the sustainable management plan.

History

Marina Silva, Minister of the Environment, signed the decree creating the corridor on 11 March 2005.
The purpose is to restore and preserve the natural environment, facilitating the spread of plants and animals, while encouraging socio-economic development.
An initial investment of R$300,000 included funding from the United Nations Environment Fund and the Ministry of the Environment's National Forest Program.
This was to be applied to environmental studies and technical assistance to the settlements in the corridor, and to development of a sustainable management plan that encourages activities other than logging so as to avoid deforestation.
It was the first officially recognized ecological corridor, the second being the Caatinga Ecological Corridor, created in April 2006.

In 2012 inspectors from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), an analyst from the Ipanema National Forest in São Paulo and military police officers conducted Operation Transitum in the corridor.
They seized illegally hunted animals, weapons and traps. They also found evidence of illegal lumber operations and farming.

Hiyoshi Dam. is a concrete gravity dam in Nantan, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Constructed from 1992 to 1996, the dam has a height of 67.4 m and a length of 438 m. It creates the artificial lake , with an area of 2.74 km2. Initial planning for its construction started in 1961, as a measure to protect downstream area from frequent floods by the Katsura river.

Hiyoshi Dam is used for three main purposes: flood control, river maintenance and water supply.

The dam temporarily stores surges in river water during floods, regulating the flow and avoiding damage to downstream areas. The dam is designed for 100-year floods (floods estimated to occur once every 100 years). The maximum release of water during flood control operations in normal situations is 150 m3 per second. However, if not enough, the dam is able to discharge more water when the level in the reservoir surpass the surcharge water level. One such situations occurred in September 2013, when heavy rain from Typhoon 18 forced a maximum outflow of 504 m3 per second. In case of emergency, with floods bigger than the estimated 100-year flood for which the dam is designed, the emergency spillways can discharge up to 3,100 m3 per second, ensuring the safety of the structure. These spillways have been used only during trials.

The dam also helps to ensure that the river water flow downstream is above a certain minimum level during drought periods.
Hiyoshi Dam also supplies 3.7 m3 per second of additional water supply, sufficient for about 1 million people, supplying domestic water to cities in Kyoto Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture and Hyogo Prefecture.

Hiyoshi Dam includes a small hydroelectric power generator with a capacity of 850 kW. The energy is used to power the dam facilities, with the excess generation sold to the grid.

188 houses were submerged.
