Maschinenbauanstalt Übigau. The Maschinenbauanstalt Übigau, full name  Dresdener Actien-Maschinenbau-Verein, Maschinenbau-Anstalt Uebigau,  was a German engineering firm based in the present-day district of Übigau in the city of Dresden, Germany.

History 
In June 1836 the Dresden Engineering Society (Dresdener Actien-Maschinenbau-Verein) was form and, that same year, founded the Maschinenba-Anstalt Übigau which opened on 1 January 1837. A significant part was played by Johann Andreas Schubert, engineer and professor at the Royal Dresden Institute of Technology, who subsequently acted as technical director and chairman of the board. Among the employees of the company was Christian Johann Heinrich Schmidt who later became Saxony's first locomotive driver. The site of the engineering firm was Übigau House (Schloss Übigau) and the land immediately to the north, towards Altübigau. In 1836, ownership of the house was transferred to the engineering firm who used it to house their management offices and construction rooms. The production sites were adjacent to the north.

The engineering works was founded to realize some of Schubert's projects. One of them was the construction of the first German steam locomotive, the Saxonia, for the Leipzig and Dresden railway. In 1837, Schubert also designed the drive for the Königin Maria, one of the first steamships on the Upper Elbe. In April 1838, however, he left the company to devote himself to his teaching position. Since there was neither an official construction contract nor sufficient technical experience, production of the Saxonia posed a high risk for the company. Mainly due to a lack of orders, the economic situation of the firm remained tense in the period that followed. On 15 June 1841, it was decided to close the factory. The Dresden Engineering Society offered it for private sale in July 1841.

In 1863 the Schlick'sche shipyard emerged here, a company that from 1877 as Kette A.G. became the most important German inland shipyard for barges and passenger ships. In 1892 it was joined by the shipbuilding research department of TU Dresden and by 1920 the Dresdner Maschinenfabrik und Schiffswerft Übigau had 1,500 employees. Apart from ships it also made boilers, large engines and dredgers. By 1930, when it had to close for 5 years as a result of the worldwide economic crisis, it had delivered 1,400 ships from its slipways to places as far away as Africa and South America.

In 1945 the firm was totally destroyed; it later reformed as VEB Dampfkesselbau Übigau, building boiler systems for large ships until the 1990s, and vehicle cranes as well from its privatisation in 1990 until its insolvency in 2001 . The yard had its own shipping berth with 48 steamers and cargo ships.

Air Traffic Chaos. Air Traffic Chaos is an air traffic controller simulation video game developed by Sonic Powered and published by Majesco Entertainment for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It had previously been released in Japan under the name , and it was released later in the PAL region under the title Air Traffic Controller by DS. A video game demo was made available before its release for the Wii's Nintendo Channel.

Gameplay
Air Traffic Chaos involves the player serving the role of a air traffic controller at a control tower in a Japanese airport for a period of time. During this period the player needs to achieve a certain score based on orders given to planes and safe take offs and landings. The game has a total of 15 challenges. These each have 3 stages ranging from easy, medium and expert difficulty. Each stage increases in difficulty and brings with it a longer shift with more aircraft to safely land and depart. The player can share their results and badges records with up to 7 other players through the ATC Library.  Players must work carefully to prevent pilots from being over-stressed from having to wait and avoid fatal collisions, which will end the current mission immediately and prematurely in failure without showing any impact from the latter.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one six and three sevens for a total of 27 out of 40.

It was awarded Most Surprisingly Good Game in GameSpot's Best of 2008 Special Achievements. They also nominated the game for Best Game No One Played in the Best of 2008 Dubious Honors.

Meyer hardness test. The Meyer hardness test is a hardness test based upon projected area of an impression. The hardness, , is defined as the maximum load,  divided by the projected area of the indent, .

This is a more fundamental measurement of hardness than other hardness tests which are based on the surface area of an indentation. The principle behind the test is that the mean pressure required to test the material is the measurement of the hardness of the material. Units of megapascals (MPa) are frequently used for reporting Meyer hardness, but any unit of pressure can be used.

The test was originally defined for spherical indenters, but can be applied to any indenter shape. It is often the definition used in nanoindentation testing. An advantage of the Meyer test is that it is less sensitive to the applied load, especially compared to the Brinell hardness test. For cold worked materials the Meyer hardness is relatively constant and independent of load, whereas for the Brinell hardness test it decreases with higher loads. For annealed materials the Meyer hardness increases continuously with load due to strain hardening.

Based on Meyer's law hardness values from this test can be converted into Brinell hardness values, and vice versa.

The Meyer hardness test was devised by Eugene Meyer of the Materials Testing Laboratory at the Imperial School of Technology, Charlottenburg, Germany, circa 1908.

Thioglycolate broth. Thioglycolate broth is a multipurpose, enrichment, differential medium used primarily to determine the oxygen requirements of microorganisms. Sodium thioglycolate in the medium consumes oxygen and permits the growth of obligate anaerobes. This, combined with the diffusion of oxygen from the top of the broth, produces a range of oxygen concentrations in the medium along its depth. The oxygen concentration at a given level is indicated by a redox-sensitive dye such as resazurine that turns pink in the presence of oxygen.

This allows the differentiation of obligate aerobes, obligate anaerobes, facultative anaerobes, microaerophiles, and aerotolerant organisms.  For example, obligately anaerobic Clostridium species will be seen growing only in the bottom of the test tube.

Thioglycolate broth is also used to recruit macrophages to the peritoneal cavity of mice when injected intraperitoneally. It recruits numerous macrophages, but does not activate them.

Imago Scientific Instruments. Imago Scientific Instruments  was a company founded in 1999    by Dr. Tom Kelly.  At that time he was the Director of the Materials Science Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, but left his tenured position in 2001 to guide the company's growth.

Imago commercialized the Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP), providing a new type of atom probe microscope which is literally orders of magnitude faster in many performance criteria than any other recently delivered atom probe microscope.  Imago (name comes from the Latin word for image or picture) has not only improved the instrumentation available for atom probe tomography, but has also developed many sample preparation techniques that are key enablers for the 3D sub-nanometer compositional information that the microscope provides.

In April 2010 Imago was purchased by Ametek [AME-NYSE], which is also the parent of CAMECA.  The company was merged with CAMECA as part of Ametek's Materials Analysis Division.

LogP machine. The LogP machine is a model for parallel computation.
It aims at being more practical than the PRAM model while still allowing for easy analysis of computation.
The name is not related to the mathematical logarithmic function:  Instead, the machine is described by the four parameters , ,  and .

The LogP machine consists of arbitrarily many processing units with distributed memory.
The processing units are connected through an abstract communication medium which allows point-to-point communication. This model is pair-wise synchronous and overall asynchronous.

The machine is described by the four parameters:

 , the latency of the communication medium.
 , the overhead of sending and receiving a message.
 , the gap required between two send/receive operations. A more common interpretation of this quantity is as the inverse of the bandwidth of a processor-processor communication channel.
 , the number of processing units.

Each local operation on each machine takes the same time ('unit time').  This time is called a processor cycle. The units of the parameters ,  and  are measured in multiples of processor cycles.

Surikamigawa Dam. is a rock-fill dam built on the Surikami River (part of the Abukuma River system) in the Moniwa area of Iizaka, Fukushima, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It was opened in 2006 and is administered by the Tohoku Regional Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Purpose 
Surikamigawa Dam is a multipurpose dam, built to provide water to the nearby cities of Nihonmatsu, Fukushima and surrounding areas. It also works in conjunction with Shichikashuku Dam and Miharu Dam to control flooding on the Abukuma River and includes  hydroelectric power facilities operated by Tohoku Electric Power.

History
In 1966, Fukushima City released the results of a study on predicted future water demand, recommending the building of a dam on the upper portion of the Surikami River. A preliminary survey was carried out in 1973, and a site was chosen. In the following years various geological surveys and public meetings were held.

In 1982 the  was formed and began development of plans for the construction of the dam.

Residents whose land was located in the area planned to be flooded were moved beginning in April 1991. In October 1992, construction to divert the Surikami River began, and in December 1994 construction on the dam itself commenced. Filling of the embankment was completed in July 2002.

A test fill of the reservoir began on February 19, 2004 and was completed in June of the following year. The dam was fully completed on September 25, 2005.

Naming 
The name of the artificial lake the dam forms was chosen from over a thousand ballots cast by the public, with  ultimately being chosen.

Shikawa Dam. is a dam in Fukuyama in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The dam began construction in 1974, and the project was completed in 2004. The dam has a height of 58.9 metres and a length of 251 metres. The reservoir has a maximum capacity of 1,650,000 m3 and has a catchment area of 15 km2.

Development
The dam is currently managed by the Tsutsumi Takashi Office of Hiroshima Prefecture. The Shikawa Dam is a concrete gravity dam which was initiated as part of the Kamo River Flood Control Plan. The plan has a number of important functions and aims to improve irrigation and flood control in the area whilst providing water stabilization and environmental protection. The artificial lake,  formed by the dam is at present to the north, just past the dam. Takiyama castle is nearby.

The Shikawa Dam is in the upper reaches of the Kamo River. A pond dam for irrigation was originally completed as early as 1925 but underwent significant renovation between 1974 and 2004 to enable it to control flooding in the area.

Recycling 
The dam also serves as a sewage treatment works with its water treatment facilities. Sludge generated by the turbines is re-used. The mass recycling of the sludge earned the dam the Merit Award for Recycling in 2002 by the Ministry of Transport even before the dam was officially opened.

Japanese repair ship Akashi. Akashi was a Japanese repair ship, serving during World War II. She was the only specifically designed repair ship operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The navy based her design on the US Navy's USS Medusa.

Construction

In 1937 the Imperial Japanese Navy had converted the old battleship Asahi to serve as a repair ship. After the conversion of Asahi, a decision was made to build a dedicated repair ship with better capabilities for that task. The Imperial Japanese Navy planned for her to carry out 40% of the repairs needed by the Combined Fleet (needing approximately 140,000-man-hours). Therefore, she was equipped with the latest machine tools imported from Germany.

War service

During the war Akashi operated out of the Japanese base in the Truk atoll where she repaired various types of battle-damaged Japanese warships, including Shōkaku in October 1942 and Yamato in December 1943. In February 1944 the Americans made a raid on Truk (Operation Hailstone), sinking and damaging many ships. Akashi was damaged in these attacks and escaped to the Japanese atoll of Palau.

Fate

On 30 March 1944, while anchored off Urukthapel in the Palau Islands, Akashi was hit numerous times by bombs and rockets from American aircraft from Task Group 58, during Operation Desecrate One. She was sunk in shallow water with her bridge still remaining above the water.

Bibai Dam. The  is a dam in Bibai, Hokkaidō, Japan.  The Bibai Dam is constructed along the Mikawa River and is part of the Ishikari River water system.

Bibai Dam was Hokkaido's first  multipurpose auxiliary dam project. It is a 35.5m tall concrete Gravity dam. The dam was named after the Bibai Lake in 1987 by public designation.

History 
In August 1966, a flood occurred in the city of Bibai, Hokkaido which led to the deaths of 2 and the tremendous damage to the city. This led to the small and medium rivers and lakes improvement project review. A study of the revision of the high water flow rate and flood control plan conclusion that a flood dam plan should be considered. Due to the sharp decline in coal demand, the main industry in the region, the industrial structure was forced to change and the industrial area was moved from Chashinai Station to Naie, Hokkaido in order to attract more business to the industrial park. Due to urbanization, it became necessary to secure a new water supply on an industrial scale.

Due to the increase in demand for water, the Babai River Comprehensive Development Project and Bibai Dam Construction Plan were created in order to control floods and the utilization of water. The project launched in 1969 and ran until completion in 1982.

From 2000 to 2004 the Biba Dam reconstruction project changed the dam's Crest Gate flood control method to the Overflow weir method. In 2004, the Sapporo Civil Engineering Bibai Comprehensive Dam Office was closed and management of the facility was transferred to the Iwamizawa, Hokkaido branch.

Tourism 
Aside from the many coal mining sites that are found along Bibai, Hokkaido to the dam, there is also ArtePiazza, the Coal Mining Memorial Forst Park. In late July, there is the Lake Bibai Festival as well as various hiking locations leading up to Mount Yubari.
