Bus duct. In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity. It is an alternative means of conducting electricity to power cables or cable bus.

Originally a busway consisted of bare copper conductors supported on inorganic insulators, such as porcelain, mounted within a non-ventilated steel housing.

History
Busways were produced due to request of the automotive industry in Detroit in the late 1920s. Since that time, busways improved and became an integrated part of secondary network for industrial plants.

Construction

Some bus ducts are rectangular similar to cable tray, but have thicker, cold-formed steel side rails and thinner sheet metal coverings. Others can be circular. Busbars inside may be separated with distinct and even gaps between them, or “sandwiched” together.

Typically, individual busbars are wrapped or coated with a non-conducting, covalent material, such as plastic or (in older systems) electrical tape.

At the connection point, busbars flare out to enable connection to the next segment.

A plug-in bus duct system or busway can have disconnect switches and other devices mounted on it, for example, to distribute power along a long building. Many forms of busway allow plug-in devices such as switches and motor starters to be easily moved; this provides flexibility for changes on an assembly line, for example. In addition to powering floor fixtures, busways can provide power to plug-in light fixtures and even IoT devices.

Feeder busway is used to interconnect equipment, such as between a transformer and a switchgear line up.  A variant type is a low-impedance busway, which is designed to have lower voltage drop by virtue of close spacing of bus bars, which reduces inductive reactance. 
 
A trolley busway provides power to equipment that must be frequently moved.  The busway is open at the bottom, and a movable collector assembly "trolley" is used to connect between the fixed bus bars in the busway and the cable connected to moving equipment.
Bus ducts are building service penetrants that are required to be externally firestopped where they penetrate fire separations required to have a fire-resistance rating.

Magnetically assisted slip casting. Magnetically assisted slip casting is a manufacturing technique that uses anisotropic stiff nanoparticle platelets in a ceramic, metal or polymer functional matrix to produce layered objects that can mimic natural objects such as nacre. Each layer of platelets is oriented in a different direction, giving the resulting object greater strength. The inventors claimed that the process is 10x faster than commercial 3D printing. The magnetisation and orientation of the ceramic platelets has been patented.

Technique 

The technique involves pouring a suspension of magnetized ceramic micro-plates. Pores in the plaster mold absorb the liquid from the suspension, solidifying the material from the outside in. The particles are subjected to a strong magnetic field as they solidify that causes them to align in one direction. The field's orientation is changed at regular intervals, moving the plates still in suspension, without disturbing already-solidified plates. By varying the composition of the suspension and the direction of the platelets, a continuous process can produce multiple layers with differing material properties in a single object. The resulting objects can closely imitate their natural models.

Artificial tooth 

Researchers produced an artificial tooth whose microstructure mimicked that of a real tooth. The outer layers, corresponding to enamel, were hard and structurally complex. The outer layers contained glass nanoparticles and aluminium oxide plates were aligned perpendicular to the surface. After the outer layers hardened, a second suspension was poured. It contained no glass, and the plates were aligned horizontally to the surface of the tooth.  These deeper layers were tougher, resembling dentine. The tooth was then cooked at 1,600 degrees to compact and harden the material — a process known as sintering. The last step involved filling remaining pores with a synthetic monomer used in dentistry, which polymerizes after treatment. Hardness and durability approximated that of both the enamel and dentine of a tooth.

Charles Eagan. Charles Eagan (1921 – March 11, 2010) was a Canadian scientist working in cold weather physiology, known primarily for advancing the wind chill formula.

Antarctic explorers Paul Siple and Charles Passel had created their original formula for wind chill measurements in 1939 by drawing on data that showed how long it took water to freeze in a cylinder under various wind and temperature conditions. While conducting research for the U.S. Air Force in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1964, Eagan recognized it would be more accurate if the equation took into account the fact people normally walk outdoors and don't spend a great deal of time at a standstill or in a windless environment. When Eagan included walking speed (1.8 metres per second) into the formula, wind chill temperatures warmed.

Eagan served with the air force as a radio operator in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador during the Second World War. Upon his return he attended the University of Western Ontario and earned a master's in biophysics. After graduating, he went on to develop clothing that allowed soldiers to work through the cold. In 1959 in Fort Wainwright, Alaska, he worked with the U.S. Air Force Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory to help pilots and crews maximize their effectiveness in cold conditions. Eagan worked with mountain climbers at 14,300 feet on the flank of Mount McKinley to test their adaptability to altitude and cold.

Eagan spent six years as an associate professor at Colorado State University. He settled in Ottawa in 1973, where he was employed as head of the physiology section of what was then the Department of National Health and Welfare. Here he examined the impact of coal mining on the respiratory health of people in Sydney, Nova Scotia. He finished his career with the Department of National Defence, returning to his work on protecting soldiers from the cold.

Eagan died on March 11, 2010, at the Pearley Rideau Veterans' Health Centre in Ottawa.

Shane Chen. Shane Chen (; born 10 February 1956 in Beijing, China) is a Chinese-American inventor and entrepreneur based in Camas, Washington. He is best known for inventing the self-balancing hoverboard.

Early life and education
Chen grew up in Beijing, China and attended Beijing Agricultural University for a degree in agricultural meteorology. A difficult environment for starting and growing businesses in mid-1980s China led Chen to immigrate to America in search of better opportunities.

Career and inventions

In 1988 he founded CID, Inc. (now called CID Bio-Science), to develop scientific instruments for plant and agricultural research. Specific products in the field included photosynthesis meter, a leaf scanner and a plant canopy analyzer. During that time Chen worked with NASA and developed a special leaf area meter that was sent to space used in Mir space station. Chen sold CID in 2009 to become a full-time inventor of consumer products. 

In 2003 Chen founded Inventist, Inc., a company he started as an avenue with which he could develop more mainstream ideas and inventions. Entering the retail marketplace in ‘03, Chen introduced the AquaSkipper, a human-powered hydrofoil watercraft. The AquaSkipper won many awards including being a finalist at ISPO BrandNew awards, and it was featured on The History Channel's Modern Marvels as part of an invention competition. Next, Chen developed and patented a three-wheeled scooter and licensed the design to RazorUSA in 2006.

Chen continued to develop other consumer products notably the Orbitwheel Skates, UltraDrainer, Lunicycle, Solowheel and Hovertrax.

He has ongoing problems with illegally made copies of his products, which are being produced and distributed worldwide out of China.

Solowheel development (A spinning wheel)

In March 2010, he filed a provisional patent for Solowheel, a self-balancing electric unicycle, using a gyroscopic sensors to balance the unit in the direction of travel.

The Solowheel won numerous awards including 2011 ISPO Bike BrandNew finalist in Munich, Germany and 2012 INPEX Invention Trade Show first runner-up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It has been featured on The Weather Channel and Bloomberg TV in 2011. In 2012 on MLB Fan Cave and The Doctors TV show.

Hovertrax development
In February 2012, a provisional patent application was filed for the Hovertrax. The patent was granted in 2014.

The Hovertrax was released to the public in 2013. The Hovertrax was the first self-balancing scooter of the type that become known as hoverboards.

OpenAthens. OpenAthens is an identity and access management service, supplied by Jisc, a British not-for-profit information technology services company.
Identity provider (IdP) organisations can keep usernames in the cloud, locally or both. Integration with ADFS, LDAP or SAML is supported.  

OpenAthens for Publishers software for service providers supports multiple platforms and federations.

Technically, the service provides deep packet inspection proxying (in a similar manner to EZproxy) and SAML-based federation, as well as various on-boarding services for institutions, consortia and vendors.

History 
With its origins in a University of Bath initiative to reduce IT procurement costs for itself and other universities, the Athens project was conceived in 1996. Spun off from Bath University through the vehicle of charitable status, Eduserv was established as a not-for-profit organisation in 1999.

The service was originally named Athena after the Greek goddess of knowledge and learning; it is rumoured that the name change was partially caused by a common typo, but it was actually due to the name Athena being already trademarked (EU000204735). It launched as 'Athens' in 1997 (UK00002153200). After JISC decided to support Shibboleth rather than Athens in 2008, Eduserv launched a federated version of Athens as 'OpenAthens' (EU013713821).

Daniel Thompson (inventor). Daniel Thompson (January 16, 1921 – September 3, 2015) was a Canadian-born American inventor and entrepreneur. Thompson was best known as the inventor of the first commercially viable bagel machine, which allowed for the mass production and mass marketing of the bagel to a wider consumer market.

Early years
Daniel Thompson was born Abraham Thomas Thompson on January 16, 1921, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Within weeks of his birth, his parents changed his name to Daniel to honor a recently deceased cousin. While Thompson was still a child, his family moved to Los Angeles, and his father set up a bakery in Boyle Heights.

After graduating Fairfax High School, Thompson joined the United States Army Air Forces and served in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II. He then returned home to attend the University of California and study Industrial Arts and Mathematics. After graduating, he became a teacher, working on his own inventions in his spare time. In 1953, his "Folding Table, Tennis Table, or the Like" was given a U.S. patent.

Bagel business
The bagel had been largely a Jewish specialty food item prior to Thompson's invention of the "Thompson Bagel Machine," which he began building in his garage in Cheviot Hills, Los Angeles, in 1958. This popularized bagels and made them available to a wider consumer base.

Personal life
In 1946, Thompson married Ada Schatz. They had three children. Thompson died in Palm Desert, California, of complications from a fall on September 3, 2015, at the age of 94.

Henry Palfrey Stephenson. Henry Palfrey Stephenson (27 March 1826 – 30 April 1890) was a Scottish-born civil engineer, and a founder of the Society of Engineers.

The son of Major John Stephenson of the 6th Dragoon Guards, Stephenson was born at Portobello, near Edinburgh, and lived for some early years in Ireland before being privately educated at a school in Twickenham. In 1842, he became a student at the College for Civil Engineers in Putney (Sir Guilford Molesworth was among his fellow students). With Robert Monro Christie, he founded the Putney Club in 1854, which later became the Society of Engineers, serving as its chairman in 1856 and 1859.

Stephenson's early professional work mainly involved surveys for railway routes in Ireland, dock works (he worked on the extension of Sunderland docks under John Murray), design of iron railway bridges (working for two years in partnership with William Dredge, and later with Robert King), English railway projects (he was engineer to the Ware, Hadham and Buntingford Railway), and arbitration work. From 1858 he designed and managed several town gas lighting projects in Germany and Holland, later serving on the boards of several UK and overseas gas companies. Elected an associate of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1853, he became a full member in 1864.
