Philo T. Farnsworth Award. The Philo T. Farnsworth Award (also called the Philo T. Farnsworth Corporate Achievement Award) is a non-competitive award presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) as part of the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards to "an agency, company or institution whose contributions over time have significantly impacted television technology and engineering". Named for Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of the first fully working all-electronic television system and receiver, the winner is selected by a jury of television engineers from ATAS's Engineering Emmy Awards Committee, who consider "all engineering developments which have proven their efficacy during the awards year and determines which, if any, merit recognition with an Engineering Emmy statuette". The accolade was first awarded in 2003 as a result of about a year of lobbying to ATAS by Farnsworth's wife Pam Farnsworth and Hawaii-based Skinner Entertainment management and production firm owner Georja Skinner.

At an annual award ceremony held in various locations, the ATAS presents the winner with a copper, gold, nickel and silver statuette of a winged woman holding an atom that was designed by engineer Louis McManus. It was first presented at the 55th Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards ceremony in September 2003. Motion picture equipment company Panavision was selected as the inaugural recipient for its work in developing "specialty camera items, cranes and dollies, Video assists, 35mm optics, cameras, lighting, trucks and grips". Since then, another 16 agencies, companies and institutions have received the award and none have won more than once. No award was given between 2005 and 2007 and in 2020. It has been presented to two separate recipients for different reasons in a calendar year once, in 2010, to the Desilu production company and the Digidesign audio technology firm. As of the 76th Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards, Adobe Inc. is the most recent winner in this category for its work as "a leader in delivering groundbreaking technology that empowers everyone, everywhere to express themselves and bring their stories to life."

Fairchild F-46. The Fairchild F-46, also known as the Duramold Aircraft Corporation F-46 A and Clark GA-46 , is a light aircraft that was built using the Duramold process, which involves using pressure to form wood with resin. Only one aircraft was produced, it was a twin engine aircraft that first flew in May 1937. The Duramold process  was later used on the Hughes H-4 Hercules.

The aircraft was re-engined with the Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior in 1947.

Design
The Model 46 is a low-wing, cabin aircraft, with conventional landing gear and structures made using Duramold processes. The fuselage is constructed of two halves bonded together. The wings use wooden spars with plywood covering. The control surfaces use aluminum frames with aircraft fabric covering. A  fuel tank was mounted in each wing.

Operational history
In 1947 the Model 46 prototype was re-engined with a Pratt & Whitney R-985 and flown for ten years.

Kuhn slide. The Kuhn slide () is part of a modified Walschaerts (German: Heusinger) valve gear on steam locomotives and is named after its inventor, Michael Kuhn (1851–1903). The term is also used to refer to this particular type of Walschaerts valve gear system as a whole.

Overview
Problems often arise in incorporating a Walschaerts valve gear into the design of tank and narrow gauge locomotives because of space limitations. The reversing rod (with its lifting arm), needed to change between forward and reverse running, is therefore mounted at the same level as the pivot of the expansion link. This enables the lifting link () to be dispensed with, and the lifting arm to be connected directly to the radius rod. To ensure the required horizontal movement, the back  end of the radius rod is designed as a slide (the 'Kuhn slide') which fits into a rotatable crosshead (Gleitstein) in the lifting arm.

Advantages
The Kuhn valve gear was not as widespread as the classic Walschaerts valve gear as its production costs were higher. One advantage of the Kuhn slide is that it runs equally smoothly in either direction. For that reason it was preferred on tank locomotives which, for operational reasons, often had to run backwards for long periods.

One locomotive that benefited was the Prussian P 8. After the first 250 were built, the valve gear was changed and the Kuhn slide was added. Together with larger counterweights on the driving wheels improved the locomotives running characteristics.

Variations
A variation of the Kuhn slide was developed by the Winterthur Locomotive Works. On the so-called Winterthur valve gear the expansion link itself is attached to the reversing shaft, both having a common pivot.

Kramper & Jørgensen. Rudolph Kramper & Jørgensen was an early 20th century manufacturer of engines and automobiles in Denmark. The company started making its first engine in 1902. Blacksmith Rudolph Kramper previously operated a company that built agricultural machines, and had started building Gideon engines in 1893, but filed for bankruptcy in 1901 before establishing his partnership with Sofus Jørgensen. From 1913 to 1920, the company also manufactured automobiles under the name Gideon, producing as many as 164 vehicles before declaring bankruptcy once again. Kramper–Jørgensen had a large motor factory in Horsens, Denmark, as well as two factories in Molde, Norway, and Swinemünde, then part of Germany.

The 1911 catalog showed the Gideon line of upright marine semi-diesel engines and boasted that it powered most of the fishing fleets in Denmark and Norway.

The Gideon line of cars and light trucks was built in Horsens, Denmark, between 1913 and 1920. The cars became known for their high levels of construction quality but did not meet with much success. The chassis of the Gideon was used on the first armored car in Denmark. The HtK-46.

Uwe Meierhenrich. Uwe Meierhenrich (born 23 October 1967 in Detmold) is a German Physico-Chemist. He is a professor of Analytical and Physical Chemistry at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France.

Academic life 
Meierhenrich was raised in a family of teachers and professors. He studied chemistry at the Philipps-University Marburg and obtained a Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry at the University of Bremen by Thiemann. He did postdoctoral work at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau and at the French Synchrotron Center LURE. In 2003 he earned his habilitation with the publication of The Origin of Biomolecular Asymmetry at the University of Bremen. In 2005 he was hired as a professor at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France. For his work on chirality, he was awarded the Horst-Pracejus-Prize of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (German Chemical Society) in 2011.

Career 
Meierhenrich was hired by the European Space Agency to develop instrumentation for its Rosetta mission to 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The purpose of the instrumentation was to detect organic compounds on the comet's surface. To test it on Earth, he worked with scientists at Leiden University in the Netherlands who were making artificial cometary ice. They replicated the conditions in space, creating a cold vacuum and bombarding the ice with ultraviolet light. They succeeded in synthesizing 16 amino acids. When the Rosetta spacecraft reached 67P in 2014, it detected similar organic compounds in the comet. In further experiments at his lab in Nice, he analyzed cometary ice analogs with multidimensional gas chromatography and detected ribose, one of the sugars that make up DNA.

Further experiments at the French SOLEIL synchrotron showed that life's homochirality can also originate under interstellar conditions.

Flexity Berlin. The Bombardier Flexity Berlin is a tram type constructed for the Berlin tramway network. It was developed by Bombardier Transportation during the late 2000s and is based on the Bombardier Flexity family of 100% low-floor trams.

Overview 

The design is based upon earlier Adtranz Incentro models and like them, the Flexity Berlin is built from modules. The Berlin public transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) ordered four different prototypes for testing. The variants are one each of 30-metre and 40-metre lengths in double-ended, or single-ended design. The shorter versions use five modules and the longer versions are built with seven modules.  Cab and door arrangement can be either bidirectional (two cab) or unidirectional (single cab) format depending upon the intended route. The first were rolled out during the InnoTrans 2008 railway trade fair. The appearance of the trams was especially designed for use in Berlin.

If the new Flexity tram tests are successful, then Bombardier's Hennigsdorf factory is scheduled to produce a further 206 units. The order would allow BVG to replace 452 high-floor ČKD Tatra KT4 trams. The Tatra trams being replaced are shorter and normally operated in pairs.

In 2009 BVG placed an order for an initial 99 trams for delivery from May 2011. The actual roll-in started on 5 September 2011. At the time of the initial order the BVG intended to order 33 more trams after 2017.

In June 2012 the BVG placed a second order for 39 trams – the last tram of the first contract arrived on 10 September 2012 and the first tram of the second contract arrived on 7 September 2012. The second contract included only long versions so that the amount of trams is enough to replace all of the old Tatra trams by 2017. The purchase is fully funded by the Bundesland Berlin at an amount of 439.1 million euros.

The nearby Strausberg Railway joined the delivery framework of the BVG Berlin Transport Company ordering 2 trams on 5 September 2011. The two short double-ended two-cab trams were delivered in February and March 2013 replacing its older trams (mostly Tatra KT8D5). The purchase is part of a 20-year contract with the county ensuring the financial basis. The contract for the two trams is at an amount of about 5.5 million euros.

The pilot batch was assembled in Bautzen which was later building the chassis for further assembly in Hennigsdorf near Berlin using some parts like motors from Bombardier facilities in Mannheim and Siegen. The factory in Hennigsdorf will deliver about 20 to 24 trains per year (with the last train from the second Berlin batch to be delivered during 2017).

Eclipse-class sloop. The Eclipse class was a class of seven 6-gun wooden screw sloops built for the Royal Navy between 1867 and 1870.  They were re-armed and re-classified as 12-gun corvettes in 1876. Two further vessels were proposed but never ordered.

Design

A development of the , they were designed by Edward Reed, the Royal Navy's Director of Naval Construction.  The hull was of wooden construction, but with iron cross-beams, and a ram bow was fitted.

Propulsion

Propulsion was provided by a two-cylinder horizontal steam engine driving a single screw.  Spartan, Sirius and Tenedos had compound steam engines, and the remainder of the class had single-expansion steam engines.

Sail plan

All the ships of the class were built with a ship rig, but this was replaced with a barque rig.

Armament

The Eclipse class was designed with two 7-inch (6½-ton) muzzle-loading rifled guns mounted in traversing slides and four 64-pounder muzzle-loading rifled guns. They were re-classified as corvettes in 1876, carrying a homogenous armament of twelve 64-pounder muzzle-loading rifled guns.

Audio Messaging Interchange Specification. Abbreviated and regularly referred to as AMIS, the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification is a standard that allows the transmittal of intact voice mail messages between voice mail systems of different vendors - allowing a user to "forward" a voice mail message to a user on a different voice mail system (in a different geographic area, or conceivably, at a different company).

Developed in 1992, AMIS saw its heaviest use prior to the wide scale adoption of e-mail, as it was the fastest way to get urgent or time sensitive messages to large numbers of people (e.g. A sales team with a "broadcast" message).

Technical background

AMIS is completely "in-band" and analog, meaning that the control commands to indicate who the message is from, the time received and "from" mailbox or caller ID information is all sent as a series of DTMF (Touch tone) digits - along with the message itself, which is transmitted (played and re-recorded by the target system) in real time.

Routing of messages is typically achieved through dedicated AMIS trunks which are just unpublished phone numbers or back doors into a voice mail system, set up to receive AMIS messages.

A voice mail system, on receiving a message addressed to mailbox it did not handle, would initiate an AMIS call to the target voice mail system and relay the message information along with the message itself. The target user could also reply to the message and the process would repeat in reverse.

Current Use

AMIS is still used in larger corporate environments to transfer voice mail messages between geographically separate offices, however, e-mail and unified messaging (which allows forwarding of voice mail messages via email) is rapidly supplanting this purpose.

It is supported by most major voice mail systems manufacturers (IBM, Nortel, Lucent, Toshiba, Siemens, and Cisco among many others).

The AMIS standard was first published in 1992 by the Industry Information Association.

Latham 43. The Latham 43 was a flying boat bomber built in France in the 1920s for service with the French Navy. It was a conventional design for its day - a two-bay biplane with unstaggered wings, and engines mounted tractor-fashion on struts in the interplane gap. The pilot sat in an open cockpit, with a gunner in an open bow position, and another in an open position amidships.

Two examples, designated Latham 42 powered by liquid-cooled Vee engines were evaluated by the navy in 1924, leading to a contract for 18 aircraft powered by air-cooled radial engines instead. Designated Latham 43 by the manufacturer and HB.3 in naval service (for Hydravion de bombardement - "Seaplane-bomber", 3 seats), they remained in service between 1926 and 1929.

Eight other machines with the original liquid-cooled engine were sold to Poland.

Lederlin 380L. The Lederlin 380L (marketed in North America as the Ladybug) is an unconventional light aircraft developed in France in the 1960s, and marketed for homebuilding.

Development
François Lederlin developed the 380L from the Mignet HM.380 "Flying Flea", and eventually created a new aircraft sharing only its choice of wing profile and general configuration.

Like the Pou-du-Ciel, the 380L is a tandem wing design, with the forward wing mounted on a set of cabane struts forward of the cockpit, and designed to pivot in flight, to vary its angle of incidence. Otherwise, it is unlike the original Mignet HM.14, having side-by-side seating for two in a fully enclosed cockpit, and a neatly cowled engine. The fuselage is of steel tube construction, metal-skinned at the front and fabric-covered to the rear, and the wings have fabric-covered wooden structure. The tailwheel undercarriage is fixed.

Spanish Trainees. A Spanish Trainee was the beneficiary from a Spanish fellowship program that gave young professionals from Spain the opportunity to do a traineeship in one of the European Space Agency's (ESA) establishments, in fields related to space science and engineering. It is an initiative to bring state-of-the-art knowledge to the Spanish aerospace industry.

The program objective was to train Spanish graduates at the ESA in order to create professionals in the space industry, therefore reinforcing the technological know-how in this field.

The fellowship was an initiative of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, together with the CDTI (Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology). It was part of the Subprogram of specialisa

The fellowship programme, shich is no longer running, was called in Spanish "Becas de Especialización en Organismos Internacionales". Aside from the ESA, it also offered the beneficiary traineeships in a number of other research institutions across Europe such as CERN, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory or the European Southern Observatory. 

The programme lasted up to 2 years, during which time the trainee is integrated in an ESA section under the supervision of an ESA staff member. At the end of the programme, the beneficiary is specialised in a space-related topic and therefore has a wide range of opportunities to develop his or her career in the sector, either in the industry or as part of the ESA.
