Aircraft flight manual. An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a paper book or electronic information set containing information required to operate an aircraft of certain type or particular aircraft of that type (each AFM is tailored for a specific aircraft, though aircraft of the same type naturally have very similar AFMs). The information within an AFM is also referred to as Technical Airworthiness Data (TAWD). A typical flight manual will contain the following: operating limitations, Normal/Abnormal/Emergency operating procedures, performance data and loading information.

An AFM will often include:

 V speeds
 Aircraft gross weight
 Maximum ramp weight
 Maximum takeoff weight
 Manufacturer's empty weight
 Operating empty weight
 Centre of gravity limitations
 Zero-fuel weight
 Takeoff distance
 Landing distance

Originally, an AFM would follow whichever format and order the manufacturer felt appropriate. Eventually, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association came to an agreement to standardize in GAMA Specification No. 1 the format of AFM's for general aviation airplanes and helicopters known as the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH).

The chapters of a POH always follow the format of:
 General
 Limitations
 Emergency Procedures
 Normal Procedures
 Performance
 Weight and Balance/Equipment List
 Systems Description
 Handling, Service, and Maintenance
 Supplements

Kuratas. Kuratas is a rideable and user-operated mecha built by the Japanese company Suidobashi Heavy Industry.  Billed as "the world's first giant boarding robot", the Kuratas was unveiled when the website was opened in 2012. It was demonstrated at Wonder Festival. In June 2015, MegaBots challenged Suidobashi Heavy Industry to its first robot duel confronting Kuratas versus their Mark II.

Developers
The Kuratas robot was developed by artist Kogoro Kurata (after whom the suit is named), and roboticist Wataru Yoshizaki.

Kurata stated that he was inspired by the mecha frequently featured in anime, especially those of the series Armored Trooper Votoms, which he watched as a child. "When I was a kid, I thought there were going to be giant robots in the future. But no matter how long I waited, people were only able to make small robots, like ASIMO. Eventually, I thought 'I can't wait anymore,' and set out to make one myself."  Kurata's goal was to create a piece of art that emulated the mecha he had watched growing up.

Yoshizaki was brought onboard the project to create the software for the robot's movement and pilot interaction.

Mechanics
The vehicle weighs approximately 4,500 kg, and is approximately 4 meters high.

It can be crewed by one person; that operator would sit in the "body" of the robot in a seat, with the control device in front of them.  The Kuratas can also be controlled externally by remote control.

Kuratas sports a four-wheeled, thirty joint exoskeleton. which is controlled by the pilot or can be controlled remotely. The remote operator uses a 3g touch screen phone as the primary interface.  The on-board pilot's user interface (UI) is a Kinect based device.

The vehicle can be "armed" with multiple weapons, such as a 6,000 round per minute twin BB rotary cannon, a "LOHAS" launcher which fires either water bottles or possibly fireworks, and a powered humanoid hand called the "iron crow" that is capable of picking up objects, and is linked to the pilot by "what appears to be a Mattel Power Glove".  The main Suidobashi website lists two other "weapons", a "Kuratas Handgun", and a "Pilebunker".

Currently, the Kuratas is not capable of walking, but is able to drive forward and backwards on its four wheels at around 10 km/h. It cannot turn without external assistance. 

, Kuratas has a price of US$1,353,500 (¥134,555,495, or €1,040,976).

In the media
In January 2014 it was reported that a yellow customized construction type Kuratas was planned to be featured in the then upcoming film series The Next Generation: Patlabor.

Wolfgang Liebe. Wolfgang Liebe (22 June 1911 in Bad Gandersheim, Germany – 21 October 2005 in Berlin, Germany) was a German aerospace engineer and pioneer in aerodynamics, specialising in research to avoid stall in airfoils. He introduced the concept of wing fences. They obstruct span-wise airflow along the wing, and are widely used specifically in early swept-wing designs.

Biography 
Raised in Cottbus, Germany, Liebe attended the University of Danzig, receiving his degree in aircraft engineering in 1936. Very early on he had decided to become an aircraft engineer, having been an intern at the Junkers aircraft factory in Dessau. After university he joined the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt (DVL, German Research Institute for Aviation) and concentrated on the problem of preventing stall.  DVL was one of the foremost aircraft research facilities in Germany at the time.  To this end he tried out various devices to increase safety on a Bf 109. These trials led to a patent being granted in 1938: “Device to avoid the spread of  flow disturbances”.

Starting in 1941 he was working at the aeronautics research institute in Prague-Letňany. After the war he was taken prisoner there and put into a train eastbound. Somehow he ended up in Belgrade, Yugoslavia and put in charge of the development of a high performance glider aircraft. In 1951 he was allowed to come back to Germany and got his Ph.D in aircraft engineering from the University of Hannover. The thesis had the title “Reasons and Rules for Stall in Aircraft”.

In 1955 he was appointed Professor at Technische Universität Berlin for “Aerodynamics of Airfoils” and retired in 1976. After retirement he continued research and received the Medal of Honour from the Wessex Institute of Technology in 2004 for "outstanding contributions to aerodynamic science and technology“.

Flights (rotary dryer). Flights, also commonly referred to as "material lifters" or "shovelling plates" are used in rotary dryers and rotary coolers to shower material through the process gas stream. Fixed to the interior of the rotary drum, these fin-like structures scoop material up from the material bed at the bottom of the drum and shower it through the gas stream as the drum rotates. This showering creates a curtain of material spanning the width of the drum, helping to maximize the efficiency of heat transfer.

Depending on the needs of the material and the process, a variety of flight designs and placement patterns are used in order to create a maximum efficiency curtain while still retaining the integrity of the product.

ThreadSafe. ThreadSafe is a source code analysis tool that identifies application risks and security vulnerabilities associated with concurrency in Java code bases, using whole-program interprocedural analysis. ThreadSafe is used to identify and avoid software failures in concurrent applications running in complex environments.

Features 
ThreadSafe detects Java concurrency defects:
 Race conditions – which lead to incorrect or unpredictable behaviour that is difficult to reproduce in a debugger.
 Deadlocks – caused by circular waits between threads waiting for shared resources.
 Unpredictable results – caused by incorrect handling of concurrent collections, bad error handling, or mixed object synchronization.
 Performance bottlenecks – caused by incorrect API usage, redundant synchronization, and unnecessary use of shared mutable state.

ThreadSafe is integrated with the Eclipse software development environment and with the SonarQube software quality management platform. Contextual information is provided within the development environment to assist the developer with the investigation and resolution of concurrency issues, directly in the code. A command-line version is available for users of IDEs other than Eclipse and for build process integration.

Checking adherence to standards 
ThreadSafe detects violations of the concurrency-related rules in the
CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java.

Static dispatch. In computing, static dispatch is a form of polymorphism fully resolved during compile time. It is a form of method dispatch, which describes how a language or environment will select which implementation of a method or function to use.

Examples are templates in C++, and generic programming in Fortran and other languages, in conjunction with function overloading (including operator overloading). Code is said to be monomorphised, with specific data types deduced and traced through the call graph, in order to instantiate specific versions of generic functions, and select specific function calls based on the supplied definitions.

This contrasts with dynamic dispatch, which is based on runtime information (such as vtable pointers and other forms of run time type information).

Static dispatch is possible because there is a guarantee of there only ever being a single implementation of the method in question.  Static dispatch is typically faster than dynamic dispatch which by nature has higher overhead.

Example in Rust 
In Rust.
trait Speak {
    fn speak(&self);
}

struct Cat;

impl Speak for Cat {
    fn speak(&self) {
        println!("Meow!");
    }
}

fn talk<T: Speak>(pet: T) {
    pet.speak();
}

fn main() {
    let pet = Cat;
    talk(pet);
}

Rust will monomorphize this when compiled into:
fn talk_cat(pet: Cat) {
    pet.speak();
}

Clean-burning stove. A clean-burning stove is a stove with reduced toxic and polluting emissions. The term refers to solid-fuel stoves such as wood-burning stoves for either domestic heating, domestic cooking or both. In the context of a cooking stove, especially in lower-income countries, such a stove is distinct from a clean-burning-fuel stove, which typically burns clean fuels such as ethanol, biogas, LPG, or kerosene. Studies into clean-burning cooking stoves in lower-income countries have shown that they reduce the emissions of dangerous particulates and carbon monoxide significantly, use less fuel than regular stoves, and result in fewer burn injuries. However, the emissions some supposedly clean-burning cookstoves produce are still much greater than safe limits, and in several studies in lower income countries they did not appear to be effective at reducing illnesses such as pneumonia induced by breathing polluted air, which may have many sources.

Use 

Solid fuel stoves designed to be used for domestic heating, those designed to be used for cooking, and those designed for both, can all be described as being clean-burning. In all cases these types of stove are designed to produce lower emissions of particulates and other pollutants than the open fires, traditional stoves, or other appliances they replace. They have been proposed for introduction to developing countries, particularly the cooking type in order to improve air quality, and where they replace open fires they have other advantages such as a reduction in accidents due to burn injuries and house fires.

Development 

A research summary of the development of clean-burning, domestic, heating stoves was published in 1982 by Flow Research Inc. Such stoves introduced in the 1980s burnt wood pellets rather than logs. By 1986, a directory was available listing 75 such stoves which had satisfied U.S. emission testing.

Operation 

Clean-burning stoves can be catalytic (using catalytic converters) or noncatalytic. The noncatalytic designs recirculate smoke to achieve fuller combustion.

Once the stove is warmed to within operating temperatures, it produces no visible smoke, emitting mostly water and carbon dioxide. Non-catalytic stoves have higher emissions than the new catalytic stoves do when the latter are operated correctly ().

A conventional domestic heating stove in 1984 emitted particulates amounting to approximately 20g per kg of fuel (0.3oz/lb). Research by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was reported in 1986 to show that conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema may be aggravated by the use of conventional heating stoves.

Regulation 

The EPA was reported as announcing plans in 1987 to encourage manufacturers to design heating stoves with reduced emissions. Clean-burning stoves are authorised for use in smoke control areas in some countries by organisations such as the EPA.
