Intelsat IV F-3. Intelsat IV F-3 was a geostationary communication satellite built by Hughes and owned by Intelsat. The satellite was based on the HS-353 platform and its estimated useful life was 7 years.

History 
The Intelsat IV F-3 was part of the Intelsat IV series which consisted of 6 satellites, of which five were successfully placed into orbit. All five satellites in the series were retired and operated an average of almost 4 years beyond their life expectancies. The satellite antenna allowed coverage from the land masses on both sides of the Atlantic basin with four point beams and had sufficient insulation between the east beams and the western beams that used the same frequencies in the east and west. The separation of the beam by directional antenna allowed this dual use of the frequency, significantly increasing the capacity of satellite communication within an assigned frequency range. Although the initial requirement Intelsat VAT series was only for the Atlantic service, but also was given special attention during the project to provide service on the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

The satellite had 20 transponders (individual radio transmitters) compared to 12 on board each Intelsat IV satellite. It had a total height of  and a diameter of . The solar panels, covered with about 17,000 solar cells, provided primary energy of 600 watts. The weight of the satellite, which had an orbiting life project of 7 years, was about .

The satellite was successfully launched into space on December 21, 1971, by means of an Atlas-Centaur vehicle from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, United States. It had a launch mass of 1,515 kg.

Bis-GMA. Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate) is a resin commonly used in dental composite, dental sealants. and dental cement. It is the diester derived from methacrylic acid and the bisphenol A diglycidyl ether.  Bearing two polymerizable groups, it is prone to form a crosslinked polymer that is used in dental restorations.  For dental work, highly viscous bis-GMA is mixed with aluminosilicate particles, crushed quartz and other related acrylates; changes to component ratios lead to different physical properties in the end product. Bis-GMA was incorporated into composite dental resins in 1962 by Rafael Bowen.  Until matrix development work in the early 2000s, bis-GMA and related methacrylate monomers were the only options for organic matrix composition.

Safety
Concerns have been raised about the potential for bis-GMA to break down into or be contaminated with the related compound bisphenol A. However, no negative health effects of bis-GMA use in dental resins have been found.

Composition
Salivary esterases can slowly degrade bis-GMA-based sealants, forming Bis-HPPP.

USCGC Benjamin Dailey. USCGC Benjamin Dailey (WPC-1123) was the United States Coast Guard's 23rd  cutter.   She was the first cutter of her class stationed in the Coast Guard's Eight District, with a homeport in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

The vessel's manufacturer, Bollinger Shipyards, of Lockport, Louisiana, delivered the ship to the Coast Guard, in Key West, on April 20, 2017, for final outfitting and crew training.

USCGC Benjamin Dailey was commissioned at a ceremony held in Pascagoula, Mississippi on July 4, 2017.

Mission

The Sentinel-class cutters are lightly armed patrol vessels with a crew of approximately two dozen sailors, capable of traveling almost 3,000 nautical miles, on five-to-eight day missions. The cutter is a multi-mission vessel intended to perform law enforcement, search and rescue, fisheries and environmental protection, and homeland security tasks.

Namesake

In 2010, Charles "Skip" W. Bowen, who was then the United States Coast Guard's most senior non-commissioned officer, proposed that all 58 cutters in the Sentinel class should be named after enlisted sailors in the Coast Guard, or one of its precursor services, who were recognized for their heroism.  In 2014 the Coast Guard announced that Benjamin B. Dailey, keeper of the Cape Hatteras Lifesaving Station, would be the namesake of the 23rd cutter.

Dailey, and the crew of Life Saving Service surfmen he commanded, had rescued nine crewmen from the wreck of the Ephraim Williams, and were awarded the Gold Life Saving Medal.

Operational history

Shortly after being commissioned, Benjamin Dailey deployed on behalf of her operational commander, the Eighth Coast Guard District, conducting counter-narcotics, fisheries enforcement, and border security off southern Texas. In August 2017, the ship provided rescue and assistance for Houston after Hurricane Harvey struck the city.
In May 2018, Benjamin Dailey participated in GOMEX 2018, a five-day exercise between the U.S. Coast Guard, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Mexican Navy in Tampico, Mexico.

On December 10, 2021, the ship was heavily damaged during a fire while in drydock in Tampa, Florida. The vessel was subsequently decommissioned and placed into inactive reserve at the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Beaumont, Texas on September 6, 2022. She departed the Beaumont Reserve Fleet to be scrapped on March 29, 2024.

Blériot 117. The Blériot 117 or B-117 was a large, twin-engined French aircraft from the mid-1920s. Heavily armed with three gun positions, it was designed to defend bomber formations against fighter attack. It did not reach production but was developed into the more successful Blériot 127.

Design and development

The problem of protecting groups of day-bombers from fighter attack was recognised in the 1920s. One possible solution was, rather than arm individual aircraft with vulnerable gunners, to have heavily armed escorts. Blériot's analysis led them to prefer this conclusion and the bomber-like Blériot B-117 was the result. It was a twin-engined, mid-wing monoplane with three gunner's position providing a wide field of fire.

Its thick section, cantilever wing was in three parts, with a centre section between the engines and twin outer panels.  The centre section was rectangular in plan and the outer panels were straight-tapered, square-tipped and constantly decreased in thickness outwards. The centre section had a steel tube structure which carried the engine mountings and the outer wings and was plywood-covered. Each outer panel was built around two spruce, ash and ply spars and had an aileron at its tip.

The fuselage of the B-117 had a rectangular cross-section defined by four spruce longerons and was entirely ply-covered over its central part, though elsewhere the upper and lower surfaces were canvas covered. There was a flexibly-mounted machine-gun position in the nose, whose operator was also the navigator, radio operator and photographer.  An open cockpit at the wing leading edge housed the pilot and mechanic side-by side.

The B-117 was powered by a pair of  water-cooled  Lorraine-Dietrich 12D V12 engines cooled with Vincent André radiators mounted on the undercarriage legs. Its engine mountings and square-sided nacelles were constructed from spruce and plywood. Under the wings, a pair of near-parallel struts on each side braced the bottom corner of the nacelle to the lower fuselage. The nacelles extended rearwards just beyond the wing trailing edge, where each housed a gunner with a flexibly-mounted machine gun. A corridor within the wing allowed access from the fuselage.

The B-117 had a slightly tapered tailplane mounted a little above the fuselage and carrying unbalanced elevators. The twin broad-chord balanced rudders were on small fins, mounted close together over the fuselage sides.

It had a conventional, fixed, tailskid undercarriage. Under each engine there was a pair of mainwheels on a single axle mounted on two vertical V-struts from the nacelle.

The B-117 flew for the first time on 19 June 1924. It did not reach production but was developed into the B-127, which had a very similar layout and dimensions though with more powerful engines and a single fin and rudder. Forty-two of these served with the Service Aéronautique.
