Kohsuke Kawaguchi. is a computer programmer who is best known as the creator of the Jenkins software project. While working at Sun Microsystems, he was the primary developer of the Hudson project. He is also the recipient of the 2011 O'Reilly Open Source Award for his work on the Jenkins project.

Career 

He worked at Sun Microsystems on numerous projects for the Java, XML and Solaris ecosystems, notably as the primary developer for Hudson and for Multi Schema Validator. Hudson was created in summer of 2004 and first released in February 2005.

When Oracle bought Sun, an issue arose in the Hudson community with respect to the infrastructure used, which grew to encompass questions over the stewardship and control by Oracle. Negotiations between the principal project contributors and Oracle took place, and although there were many areas of agreement a key sticking point was the trademarked name "Hudson", after Oracle claimed the right to the name and applied for a trademark in December 2010. As a result, on January 11, 2011, a call for votes was made to change the project name from "Hudson" to "Jenkins". The proposal was overwhelmingly approved by community vote on January 29, 2011, creating the Jenkins project. On February 1, 2011, Oracle said that they intended to continue development of Hudson, and considered Jenkins a fork rather than a rename. Jenkins and Hudson therefore continue as two independent projects, each claiming the other is the fork.

Kawaguchi founded InfraDNA, Inc. in April 2010, which provided support and service for continuous integration using Hudson. In November 2010, InfraDNA merged with CloudBees. In 2011, he received Google-O'Reilly Open Source Award for his work on the Hudson/Jenkins projects.

In 2014, Kawaguchi became the Chief Technology Officer for CloudBees.

In January 2020, Kawaguchi transitioned to a CloudBees adviser and stepped away from Jenkins and CloudBees to focus on a new startup, Launchable, Inc.

In August 7th 2024, CloudBees announced its acquisition of Launchable, Inc.

Chlorinated polyethylene. Chlorinated polyethylene (PE-C or CPE) is an inexpensive variation of polyethylene, where chlorine is substituted for some of the hydrogen atoms.  CPE has a chlorine content from 34 to 44%.

Due to its soft, rubbery texture, CPE is added to polyvinyl chloride to increase its impact and weather resistance. Furthermore, it is used for softening PVC foils, without risking plasticizer migration.

Chlorinated polyethylene can be crosslinked with peroxides to form an elastomer which is used in cable and rubber industries. When chlorinated polyethylene is added to other polyolefins, it reduces the flammability. Chlorinated polyethylene is sometimes used in power cords as an outer jacket.

Chlorinated polyethylene is listed on the Living Building Institute's Red List of materials that cannot be used.

Mitchell Powerhouse and Dam. Mitchell Powerhouse and Dam is a historic structure located in Mitchell, Iowa, United States. The west side of town along the Cedar River developed into a processing and manufacturing area, and its mills were powered by the river's current. They all became obsolete and closed around the turn of the 20th-century. In 1917 the Northeastern Iowa Power Co. was incorporated at Clermont, Iowa, and in 1924 they hired the Fargo Engineering Company of Jackson, Michigan to build the powerhouse and dam at Mitchell.  It was completed the following year. The concrete dam is composed of a  permanent crest and two  wide tainter gates. A third gate was converted into a permanent concrete spillway.  The powerhouse is a single-story structure composed of rock faced limestone that was laid in a random ashlar pattern. Northeastern Iowa Power Company was transferred to the Central States Power and Light Company, who was in turn transferred to the Interstate Power Company. The Mitchell County Conservation Board acquired the dam, powerhouse, and the adjacent land, which it turned into a public park in 1963. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Datascope Analytics. Datascope Analytics, or Datascope, is a data-driven consulting and design firm based in Chicago, IL. The firm was founded in 2009 by co-founders Mike Stringer and Dean Malmgren after the two realized the lodes that could be extracted from data science. In addition to analyzing massive amounts of data, the firm builds useful tools for people, organizations and companies to learn from data, and be more quantitative in how they approach different problems. Their data science services include strategy consulting, software development and training.


History
Datascope was founded in 2009 by Mike Stringer and Dean Malmgren. Stringer received a BS in Engineering Physics from the University of Colorado and a PhD in Physics from Northwestern University. Malmgren received a BS from the University of Michigan and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Northwestern University, where he was a research fellow alongside Stringer. It was during their time at Northwestern that they began to realize the lodes that could be extracted from data science, more specifically, the useful tools they can provide people, organization and companies.

The company has worked with industry leaders like Thomson Reuters, Procter & Gamble, Motorola, Kaplan, Daegis, and the Detroit Pistons, to emerging tech companies and nonprofits.

In 2011, Datascope began the Data Science Chicago Meetup, which now has over 3,635 members, as well as Data Science Madison, founded in 2014, which currently has 363 active members. The group discussions range from tutorials on new technologies and their applications to success stories from practitioners, as well as cutting-edge academic data science and social activities. In 2016, they founded a Chicago Women in Machine Learning and Data Science team. The Meetup discusses machine learning and data science in an informal setting with the purpose of learning about top-notch research and technology, while building a community around women in these fields.

In 2014, Datascope launched a data science boot camp for New York-based Metis, part of the Kaplan education network, helping others accelerate their data science careers. Datascope helped create the curriculum. Recently, Kaplan expanded their data science boot camp into the San Francisco and Chicago market, still utilizing Datascope's curriculum as a basis.

Culture
Bootstrapped since their inception, Datascope worked out of Northwestern University's Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation  their first year in business. Unlike most companies that have predetermined hierarchy, Datascope quickly adopted a completely flat company structure, which gives each employee the same monthly salary, and allows each employee the opportunity to take on a leadership role. These roles are chosen based on whichever employee finds a particular project to be the most mentally and creatively stimulating. To ensure this, Datascope custom-built an operating agreement to retain a flat organizational structure that reflects the company's culture.

Span (engineering). In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span):

A span can be closed by a solid beam or by a rope. The first kind is used for bridges, the second one for power lines, overhead telecommunication lines, some type of antennas or for aerial tramways.

Span is a significant factor in finding the strength and size of a beam as it determines the maximum bending moment and deflection. The maximum bending moment  and deflection in the pictured beam is found using:

where 

 = Uniformly distributed load
 = Length of the beam between two supports (span)
 = Modulus of elasticity
 = Area moment of inertia

The maximum bending moment and deflection occur midway between the two supports. From this it follows that if the span is doubled, the maximum moment (and with it the stress) will quadruple, and deflection will increase by a factor of sixteen.

Piet Bergveld. Piet Bergveld (; born 26 January 1940) is a Dutch electrical engineer. He was professor of biosensors at the University of Twente between 1983 and 2003. He is the inventor of the ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) sensor. Bergveld's work has focused on electrical engineering and biomedical technology.

Career
Bergveld was born in Oosterwolde, Friesland on 26 January 1940. In 1960 he started studying electrical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology, he had preferred to study biomedical engineering but that was not available. Between 1964 and 1965 he did a master's degree at the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium. In the latter half of the 1960s Bergveld started working as a scientific employee at the Technische Hogeschool Twente (which later became the University of Twente). 

Intrigued by discovering and measuring the origin of electronic activity in the human brain Bergveld started working on a new technique. In 1970, he completed the development of the ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) sensor. It was based on his earlier research on the MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), which he realized could be adapted into a biosensor for electrochemical and biological applications. In 1973, he earned his PhD at Twente, with a dissertation which delved deeper into the possibilities of ISFET sensors.

Bergveld worked at the University of Twente from 1965 until he took up emeritus status in February 2003. He had been a full professor since 1983. At the university he was one of the driving forces for increased biomedical technology research and one of the founding fathers of the MESA+ research institute.

In 1995 Bergveld was awarded the  prize by minister Hans Wijers. He was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997. In April 2003 Bergveld was made a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.

Yield (multithreading). In computer science, yield is an action that occurs in a computer program during multithreading, of forcing a processor to relinquish control of the current running thread, and sending it to the end of the running queue, of the same scheduling priority.

Examples 
Different programming languages implement yielding in various ways.

pthread_yield() in the language C, a low level implementation, provided by POSIX Threads
std::this_thread::yield() in the language C++, introduced in C++11.
 The Yield method is provided in various object-oriented programming languages with multithreading support, such as C# and Java. OOP languages generally provide class abstractions for thread objects.
yield in Kotlin

In coroutines 
Coroutines are a fine-grained concurrency primitive, which may be required to yield explicitly. They may enable specifying another function to take control. Coroutines that explicitly yield allow cooperative multitasking.

Jaguar Land Rover Engine Manufacturing Centre. Jaguar Land Rover Engine Manufacturing Centre, is an engine producing factory located on the outskirts of Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire in England. It is strategically built adjacent to the M54 motorway on the i54 business park. Opened in 2014 by Elizabeth II, it currently produces Ingenium petrol and diesel engines.

Having already been expanded once in the past, in 2015 it was announced that Jaguar Land Rover would spend £450 million on doubling the size of the engine plant. Once complete, the factory's workforce will increase from 700 to 1,400 people.

Solar panels
The engine assembly plant is fitted with over 21,000 photovoltaic panels, which produce 5.8MW of energy. This accounts for more than 30% of the plant's energy requirements. The panels have enough energy to power more than 1,600 homes and reduce the plant's carbon footprint by over 2,400 tonnes per year.

KUKA Robot Language. The KUKA Robot Language, also known as KRL, is a proprietary programming language similar to Pascal and used to control KUKA robots.

Features 

Any KRL code consists of two different files with the same name: a permanent data file, with the extension .dat, and a movement command file, with the extension .src.

KRL has four basic data types:

User can also create custom data types using enumeration. Enumeration and basic data types can be used to create arrays and structures.

Motion commands support several types of structures as data formats:

FRAME {X 10, Y 0, Z 500, A 0, B 0, C 0}

POS   {X 10, Y 0, Z 500, A 0, B 0, C 0, S 6, T 21}

E3POS {X 10, Y 0, Z 500, A 0, B 0, C 0, S 6, T 21, E1 0, E2 0, E3 0}

E6POS {X 10, Y 0, Z 500, A 0, B 0, C 0, S 6, T 21, E1 0, E2 0, E3 0, E4 0, E5 0, E6 0}

AXIS  {A1 0, A2 -90, A3 90, A4 0, A5 0, A6 0}

etc.

Robot joints are A1-A6.

External axis joints are E1-E6.

Frame value is sufficient to specify TCP location and orientation. But to also determine unique robot arm pose, additional info is required - S and T or  
Status and Turn. They are collection of flags stored as integer.
