Address generation unit. The address generation unit (AGU), sometimes also called address computation unit (ACU), is an execution unit inside central processing units (CPUs) that calculates addresses used by the CPU to access main memory.  By having address calculations handled by separate circuitry that operates in parallel with the rest of the CPU, the number of CPU cycles required for executing various machine instructions can be reduced, bringing performance improvements.

While performing various operations, CPUs need to calculate memory addresses required for fetching data from the memory; for example, in-memory positions of array elements must be calculated before the CPU can fetch the data from actual memory locations.  Those address-generation calculations involve different integer arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, modulo operations, or bit shifts.  Often, calculating a memory address involves more than one general-purpose machine instruction, which do not necessarily decode and execute quickly.  By incorporating an AGU into a CPU design, together with introducing specialized instructions that use the AGU, various address-generation calculations can be offloaded from the rest of the CPU, and can often be executed quickly in a single CPU cycle.

Capabilities of an AGU depend on a particular CPU and its architecture. Thus, some AGUs implement and expose more address-calculation operations, while some also include more advanced specialized instructions that can operate on multiple operands at a time.  Furthermore, some CPU architectures include multiple AGUs so more than one address-calculation operation can be executed simultaneously, bringing further performance improvements by capitalizing on the superscalar nature of advanced CPU designs.  For example, Intel incorporates multiple AGUs into its Sandy Bridge and Haswell microarchitectures, which increase bandwidth of the CPU memory subsystem by allowing multiple memory-access instructions to be executed in parallel.

Marinediesel AB. Marinediesel AB is a manufacturer of high speed diesel engines for marine use, ranging in power output from 127 kilowatts (170 hp) to 373 kilowatts (500 hp). The company was founded in 1992 in Ängelholm, Sweden.

Company history
Marinediesel AB began as a manufacturer and distributor of automotive parts. In 1997, a remanufacturing plant for engines, both gasoline and diesel, was established, and the development of a line of Marinediesel engines based on the Detroit Diesel V8 engine 6.5L diesel engine was begun. In 1999, AM General purchased this engine production from General Motors, and Marinediesel made an agreement to purchase the base engines from the Hummer factory. In 2001, The Marinediesel line of engines was fully developed and in production as a finished product. In 2008, the MD Engineering division was inaugurated to focus on custom engineering projects for diesel engines, largely in research and development for complex projects and other engine manufacturers. In 2011, Marinediesel started its Marinediesel Powertrain division specifically to serve the industrial diesel engine market.

Product development
The 6.5L engine was the first successful diesel V-8 engine designed specifically for marine use on a commercial scale.

In 2006, Marinediesel started development work on the 6.6L Duramax V8 engine GM diesel engine that entered production as the Marinediesel VGT series. At the same time, Marinediesel became the first GM OEM located outside the US.

Marinediesel has produced some innovations in the marine engine market, including the use of variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT) technology, programmable engine control units that allow custom engine MAP development, and substantial research and development into noise and vibration reduction.

Nearly all engines produced are intended for commercial, military, or government use.

Adaptive compliant trailing edge. Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) is a research project on shape-changing flaps for aircraft wings, intended to reduce the aircraft's fuel costs and reduce noise during take-off and landing. It is a join effort by NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and first airborne tests have been conducted in late 2014.

ACTE flaps close the gaps present in conventional flaps using flexible material, generating a continuous bendable surface. As of 2015 enhanced hinged wing flaps (which fold out from under the wing's trailing edge and are used on most jets) are studied. A Gulfstream III business aircraft of the AFRL has been equipped with flaps from FlexSys Inc. and is performing airborne flight tests since 7 November 2014.
FlexSys Inc., a company founded by Prof. Kota in 2000, is dedicated to develop the concept of a flexible aircraft wing and received 40 million in financial assistance from the Air Force's small business innovation research program. According to FlexSys the technology helps in fuel savings of 4% to 12%  and noise reduction during takeoff and landing by up to 40%.

FenixEdu. FenixEdu is a software project focused on developing open source software for schools. The core development team currently works out of Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon.

The goal of this project is to develop a large suite of software products that schools can easily install and configure on their own organization, with very little resources. The project also works as advanced engineering training group for students of Instituto Superior Técnico, by giving them a realistic software development environment without the real pressures of a job. The motivation behind it is that by optimising the teaching process, there are increases in the speed of science and culture development and by doing so there is a faster societal development.

History

The project started around 1999 when Instituto Superior Técnico felt the need of updating their student information systems, written originally in COBOL. The school started Project Fénix as a research project involving several final degree projects with the objective to create a new software platform, called Fénix, that would serve the school in their administrative needs. Right from the beginning the project released its software as open source, as a way for the academic community to contribute back and also for the system to serve as a teaching tool, particularly to Software Engineering students. Over the next 12 years the project grew to manage almost all the school tasks, from grading to parking.

Although the system by 2012 covered a lot of school tasks, it was a monolithic platform, and was very hard to deploy it on another schools, requiring a team of specialized developers to do it. It was around this time, when the system started growing beyond one school, that the project restructured it, and rebranded itself into FenixEdu. The focus was to develop easy deployable, highly modular, pluggable and customizable pieces of software that schools could cherry pick to match their needs, requiring no more than one person to fully configure an installation. Over the next years, the original platform source code was cleaned, Instituto Superior Técnico specific code removed and sliced into individual modules, that could be reused and picked individually.

Projects
As of 2014, FenixEdu released four individual software packages:

 FenixEdu Academic, an open source Student Information System
 FenixEdu Learning, an open source Learning Management System
 OddJet, a reporting library designed to work with OpenOffice documents.
 Bennu, a web framework integrated with the Fenix Framework persistence system.

Worry Bird. Worry Bird is a North American P-51D-25-NA Mustang (ser. no. ) currently based at the Air Combat Museum at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Illinois. The aircraft was built in 1944 and delivered to the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) in the following year to serve in World War II. At the time, the P-51D was a major component of the USAAF fleet and Worry Bird escorted Allied bombers on long-range air raids in Germany.

While the P-51 Mustang was a versatile aircraft used in many roles during the war, its role in European bombing missions was perhaps its most significant, and several historians and Air Force veterans believe the aircraft gave the Allies a decisive advantage in the European aerial theater.

After World War II ended, Worry Bird served in the Korean War and at several Air Force bases before its retirement in 1957. It passed through multiple private owners over the following decades; in the early 1990s, Mike George restored the aircraft and moved it to its current base.

Worry Bird was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 11 March 1999. Out of over 8,000 P-51 Mustangs which served the U.S. in World War II, Worry Bird was one of 166 surviving and 104 that could still be flown as of its listing.
