US Sabot. The US Sabot is an American pram sailboat that was designed by Charles McGregor as a one-design racer and first built in 1939.

The design is a development of McGregor's Sabot, based upon the plans published in The Rudder magazine in 1939. The basic Sabot design has been widely adapted and other derivations include the leeboard-equipped Naples Sabot, as well as the daggerboard-equipped El Toro, Wind'ard Sabot and the Australian Holdfast Trainer.

Production
The boat was originally intended for home construction from wood, by amateur builders. The design was later mass-produced by W. D. Schock Corp and Catalina Yachts in the United States, but it is now out of production.

Design
The US Sabot is a recreational sailing dinghy. The early versions were built from plywood, while later production boats were made with hand-laid fiberglass hulls over cores, providing positive flotation. The boat has a cat rig, a squared pram stem, a nearly-plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable square daggerboard. It displaces .

Catalina-produced Sabots have tapered fiberglass masts and anodized aluminum booms.

The boat has a draft of  with the daggerboardextended. With the daggerboard removed it may be sailed in shallow water, beached or ground-transported on a trailer or automobile rooftop.

Operational history
At one time the boat had a class club that organized racing events, the US Sabot Class Association, but by early 2013 its website had been taken down and it seems to be no longer active.

A 2013 review on boat.com noted that the design is, "the perfect first boat for the beginning sailor and popular with junior sailing programs for its simplicity and safety. Equipped with the racing package, the Sabot offers all the sail controls of a larger boat, so learning sailors can develop the full range of sail trimming skills."

Lynn Boats described the Catalina-made US Sabot as, "the perfect first boat for the beginning sailor. Simplicity and safety make the U.S. Sabot popular with junior programs ... The U.S. Sabot is built to withstand the tough use of a learning sailor."

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Missouri. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Missouri (TMMMO), formerly the Bodine Pattern Company, is an American manufacturing plant in Troy, Missouri that focuses on building cylinder heads for straight-four engines built by Toyota. It is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor North America, itself a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan.

History 
In 1912, Jesse Bodine founded the Bodine Pattern Company in St. Louis, Missouri. Bodine produced mold castings for various customers including automotive. When Toyota started to expand its manufacturing presence in North America in the late 1980s, they turned to Bodine to supply aluminum parts. In 1990, Toyota purchased the company, renaming it to Bodine Aluminum.

In 1991, Toyota broke ground on an additional plant in Troy, Missouri that would open in 1993. Bodine Aluminum opened a plant in Jackson, Tennessee in 2003, and closed its St. Louis plant in December 2018.

In 2020, the company's name changed from Bodine Aluminum to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Missouri, while the Jackson plant became Toyota Motor Manufacturing Tennessee.

In 2021, the company gave two grants totaling to 28 thousand dollars to Mercy hospitals to pay for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, they gave more grants totaling to 230 thousand dollars to the Lincoln County R-III School District and Silex R-1 School District to fund educational programs.

In 2022, Toyota funded 109 million dollars to increase salaries and produce specialized cylinder heads for electric cars.

Production 
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Missouri has the ability to build more than 3 million cylinder heads annually on three production lines.

Zirconium(III) iodide. Zirconium(III) iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZrI3.

Preparation
Like other group 4 trihalides, zirconium(III) iodide can be prepared from zirconium(IV) iodide by high-temperature reduction with zirconium metal, although incomplete reaction and contamination of the product with excess metal often occurs.

3 ZrI4 + Zr → 4 ZrI3

An alternative is to crystallise zirconium(III) iodide from a solution of zirconium(III) in aluminium triiodide. The solution is prepared by reducing a eutectic solution of ZrI4 in liquid AlI3 at a temperature of 280–300 °C with metallic zirconium or aluminium.

Structure and bonding
Zirconium(III) iodide has a lower magnetic moment than is expected for the d1 metal ion Zr3+, indicating non-negligible Zr–Zr bonding.

The crystal structure of zirconium(III) iodide is based on hexagonal close packing of iodide ions with one third of the octahedral interstices occupied by Zr3+ ions. The structure consists of parallel chains of face-sharing {ZrI6} octahedra with unequally spaced metal atoms. The Zr–Zr separation alternates between 3.17 Å and 3.51 Å.

ZrCl3, ZrBr3 and ZrI3 adopt structures very similar to the β-TiCl3 structure. In all three ZrX3 there is some elongation of the octahedra along the metal-metal axis, partly due to metal-metal repulsion, but the elongation is most pronounced in the chloride, moderate in the bromide and negligible in the iodide.

John P. Vinti. John Pascal Vinti (January 16, 1907, Newport, Rhode Island – September 28, 1990, Boston) was an American theoretical physicist, who published papers not only in physics, but also in mathematics and engineering. He is known for the Vinti integral.

Biography
His father, Giovanni Giuseppe Vinti (1885–1959), was born in Naples, Italy. In 1922 John P. Vinti graduated from Rogers High School in Newport, Rhode Island. At his high school graduation, he was honored with a prize in scholarship and a prize in mathematics. At age 15 Vinti matriculated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). There he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1927 and a Ph.D. in physics in 1932. His thesis Ph.D. thesis is entitled Variational calculation of atomic wave functions. As a postdoc he worked at the University of Pennsylvania from 1932 to 1934 on helium's absorption spectrum. He was from 1934 to 1935 an assistant at MIT, from 1936 to 1937 an instructor at Brown University, from 1937 to 1938 an assistant professor at The Citadel, and from 1939 to 1941 an instructor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In 1941 he joined the physics staff of the Ballistics Research Laboratory at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground. There he became chief of the Interior Ballistics Theory Section and a senior physicist (as of 1945). At Aberdeen he developed a keen interest in celestial mechanics and "a close professional relationship with John von Neumann and Maria Goeppert-Mayer."

Later in his career, Vinti taught and did research at MIT as a professor in the department of aeronautics and astronautics in the 1970s and 1980s.

Lecture notes that Vinti used in a course that he taught in 1966 at the Catholic University of America and later at MIT were posthumously published in 1998 as the book Orbital and Celestial Mechanics, edited by Gim J. Der and Nino L. Bonavito. According to Der and Bonavito, Vinti's spheroidal method was "many years ahead of its time" and "predicts position and velocity vectors for satellites and ballistic missiles almost as accurately as numerical integration."

He was elected in 1936 a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Upon his death, John P. Vinti was survived by his sisters, Helena (1908–1995) and Anna (1911–2001), and their children. His nephew Jack Edmonston was his executor and was entrusted with the publication of Orbital and Celestial Mechanics.

John P. Vinti is a distant relative of Italian mathematician Calogero Vinti, who is memorialized by the Vinti Prize.

John P. Vinti is buried in Newton Cemetery in Newton, Massachusetts.

Alloy 601. Alloy 601 is a nickel alloy, mostly made up of nickel and chromium, with small amounts of aluminium, silicon, copper and manganese. This creates a number of desirable properties including good high temperature strength, corrosion resistance under oxidizing conditions and it retains ductility after long service exposure. It is often used in various types of engineering equipment which require heat resistance and corrosion resistance.

Composition

Properties 
Alloy 601 can also be identified by the UNS Number N06601. It shares similar properties to Alloy 600, but is more resistant to high-temperature oxidation due to the addition of aluminium. The combination of heat resistance and oxidation resistance means it is often used in the thermal processing industry for applications such as radiant tubes. It is also commonly used in high-temperature applications in the aerospace industry, such as gas turbine blades, combustion can-liners and jet engine igniters.
