TU Delft Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE; (; abbr. IO)  is part of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) based in the Netherlands. The faculty has more than 2,000 students, around 350 full time equivalent academic staff and over 8,000 alumni.

History
The first academic education programmes for industrial designers were at the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture. This faculty trained not only architects, but also designers of furniture and everyday utensils. The first students of the 'Technical and Industrial Design' programme started their education with a foundation course in Architecture. In 1969, an independent programme in 'Technical Industrial Design' was established with its own engineering degree. In addition to design, technical subjects played a major role. Ergonomics were also incorporated immediately and furthermore, market research was carried out. Finally, the management side was included in the programme. In 1981, the engineering degree and the interim department was renamed Industrial Design. When the Technical Polytechnic became the Delft University of Technology in 1986, Industrial Design finally became the Faculty of Industrial Design.

Burnt Ash Pond. Burnt Ash Pond is a local nature reserve in Lee in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is a pond surrounded by railings in Melrose Close. It is not normally open to the public, but can be viewed from the road.

It is thought to have been originally an old farm pond, and by 1908 it was in the garden of a large house, which has since been demolished. When Lewisham Council built the houses in Melrose Close in 1983–84 the local branch of the London Wildlife Trust campaigned to preserve the pond, and it is now managed by the council as an educational nature reserve. The pond is well vegetated both in the pond and on its margins. Plants include yellow iris, great willowherb and hoary willowherb.

Aurivillius phases. Aurivillius phases are a form of perovskite represented by the general formulae is (Bi2O2)(An−1BnO3n+1) (where A is a large 12 co-ordinate cation, and B is a small 6 co-ordinate cation). 

Basically, their structure is built by alternating layers of [Bi2O2]2+ and pseudo-perovskite blocks, with perovskite layers that are n octahedral layers in thickness. This crystal structure was first described in 1949 by Swedish chemist Bengt Aurivillius. The first interest in Aurivillius phases arose from the observation of ferroelectricity even for the simplest member, Bi2WO6  (n=1) of this crystallographic family. The Mo-homologous Aurivillius phase Bi2MoO6 was recently investigated as a potential LTCC material.  
Their oxide ion-conducting properties of Aurivillius phases were first discovered in the 1970s by Takahashi et al., and they have been used too for this purpose ever since.

Aurivillius phase oxide materials are a class of lead-free ceramics.

Nitridoborate. The nitridoborates are chemical compounds of boron and nitrogen with metals. These compounds are typically produced at high temperature by reacting hexagonal boron nitride (α -BN) with metal nitrides or by metathesis reactions involving nitridoborates.  A wide range of these compounds have been made involving lithium, alkaline earth metals and lanthanides, and their structures determined using crystallographic techniques such as X-ray crystallography. Structurally one of their interesting features is the presence of polyatomic anions of boron and nitrogen where the geometry and the B–N bond length have been interpreted in terms of π-bonding.

Many of the compounds produced  can be described as ternary compounds of metal boron and nitrogen and examples of these are Li3BN2, Mg3BN3, La3B3N6, La5B4N9. However, there are examples of compounds with more than one metal, for example La3Ni2B2N3 and compounds containing anions such as Cl−, for example Mg2BN2Cl.

Structures and bonding
Examination of the crystallographic data shows the presence of polyatomic units consisting of boron and nitrogen. These units have structures similar to those of isoelectronic anions, which have π-bonded structures.  The bonding in some of these compounds is ionic in character, such as Ca3[BN2]2, other compounds have metallic characteristics, where the bonding has been described in terms of π-bonded anions with extra electrons in anti-bonding orbitals that not only cause a lengthening of the B–N bonds but also form  part of the conduction band of the solid. The simplest ion BNn− is comparable to the  ion, but attempts to prepare the compound CaBN analogous to CaC2 calcium carbide failed. The bonding of compounds containing the diatomic BN anion have been explained in terms of electrons entering anti-bonding orbitals and reducing the B–N bond order from 3 (triple bond) in BN2− to 2 (double bond) in BN4−.

Some nitridoborates are salt-like such as Li3BN2, LiCa4[BN2]3 others have a metallic lustre, such as LiEu4[BN2]3.  Bonding calculations  show that the energy of the valence orbitals of metal atoms of group 2 and lanthanide elements are higher than those of the bonding orbitals in BNx ions which indicates an ionic like interaction between a metal atom and a BNx ion. With lanthanide compounds where extra electrons enter the anti-bonding orbitals of an ion there can be a smaller band gap giving the compounds metal like properties such as lustre. With transition metals the d orbitals can be similar in energy to bonding orbitals in the BN anions suggesting covalent interactions.

For comparison purposes the following are considered to be typical BN bond lengths

Korea Invisible Mass Search. The Korea Invisible Mass Search (KIMS; ), is a South Korean experiment searching for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), one of the candidates for dark matter. The KIMS project was also named such as the three founders all have the surname Kim; Kim Sun-kee, Kim Hongjoo, and Kim Yeongduk. The experiments use CsI(Tl) crystals at Yangyang Underground Laboratory (Y2L), in tunnels from a preexisting underground power plant. KIMS is supported by the Creative Research Initiative program of the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation. It is the first physics experiment located, and largely built, in Korea.

Other research topics include detector development for a neutrinoless double beta decay search and the creation of an extreme low temperature diamond calorimeter.

History
The KIMS experiment was funded in 2000 to search for WIMP dark matter. To avoid the cost of creating a new tunnel for testing, the Yangyang Pumped Storage Power Plant belonging to Korea Middleland Power Co. in Yangyang, Korea was used. Construction was completed in 2003. The CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal used has a high light yield and is affordable for large mass. After a substantial effort for the initial setup and crystal development, KIMS began recording data in 2004 with one full-size 6 kg crystal. A 4 crystal setup was run in 2005–2006 to optimize the WIMP search. In 2008, the 12 crystal array with 103.4 kg mass was completed and ran until December 2012 for a detector upgrade replacing the PMTs.

Results 
The first WIMP cross section search was published in 2006 using the one crystal data. New limits were presented in 2007 and 2012, inconsistent with the DAMA signal reports for masses above 20 GeV. Using 24,324.3 kg•days exposure, low-mass WIMP signals below 20 GeV were disfavored in 2014.

COSINE 
The KIMS and DM-Ice groups collaborated to make a new detector consisting of an array of NaI(Tl) scintillating crystals to confirm or refute the DAMA/LIBRA results. , the 100 kg COSINE-100 experiment had been installed at Y2L. In September 2016, physics data started to be collected. The next version of the COSINE detector, COSINE-200, will be constructed in Yemilab in Jeongseon County.

The COSINE-100 published its first results on 5 December 2018 in Nature; they concluded that their result "rules out WIMP–nucleon interactions as the cause of the annual modulation observed by the DAMA collaboration". This rejection applies only to WIMPs with one of the 18 tested masses, exhibiting spin-independent interactions with sodium or iodine nucleons, within the context of a standard dark matter halo model.

In November 2021, new results from COSINE-100 experiment from 1.7 years of data collection have also failed to replicate the signal of DAMA.

In August 2022, COSINE-100 applied an analysis method similar to one used by DAMA/LIBRA and found a similar annual modulation suggesting the signal could be just an statistical artifact supporting an hypothesis first put forward on 2020.

Felixstowe F.5 tractor biplane patrol flying boat, cancelled by the RAF in January 1919 after ten from an order of fifty delivered.

Projects
Following the end of the First World War, the company proposed a number of designs published 31 July 1919 in Flight magazine:
Gosport Fire Fighter - a 10-seater flying boat designed to carry men and material to the scene of a forest fire or emergency based on the Felixstowe F.5.
Gosport Mail - a six passenger luxury flying boat for long distance passenger, mail and goods-carrying based on the Norman Thompson N.T.4A.
Gosport Patrol Boat - a two-seater flying boat for use as a fast patrol or police boat.
Gosport Two-seater Touring Boat - a flying boat with a tail boom for the American market.
Gosport Popular - a touring flying boat.
Gosport Shrimp - a single-seat flying boat.
In December 1919 a number of larger flying-boats were proposed, designed by John Porte who joined the company in August 1919:

Gosport G5 - a twin-engined biplane flying boat with a 103 ft span and a length of 49 ft 3in, for two crew and six passengers or cargo based on the Felixstowe F.5.
Gosport G5a - a smaller variant of the G5 with a 97 ft 6in span and only 46 ft in length.
Gosport G8 - a biplane flying boat for one pilot and three-passengers.
Gosport G8a - a biplane flying boat similar to the G8.
Gosport G9 - a triplane three-engined flying boat for long distance cargo work or ten passengers and three crew, with a 113 foot wingspan. A commercial version of Porte's Felixstowe Fury

With the death of Porte in October 1919 none of the flying boats proposed were built, and by the middle of 1920 the company had closed.

Albion CX22S. The Albion CX22S was a heavy artillery tractor used by the British Army during World War II.

Overview
The Albion CX22S was designed and built by Albion Motors in late 1943 to supplement the Scammell Pioneer heavy artillery tractor, which was not available in sufficient numbers.  In service the CX22S was used by the British Army to tow the 155mm Long Tom and the BL 7.2-inch howitzer.

The CX22S was based on Albion's CX23N 10-ton truck. The CX22S was a wheeled 6x4 truck, powered by a  six-cylinder inline diesel engine, through a four-speed gearbox and two-speed auxiliary gearbox.  The cab of the CX22S had bench seating for two or three whilst the rear body had bench seating for four and folding seats for two more along with stowage for tools, equipment and ammunition.  The CX22S was fitted with an  Scammell vertical-spindle winch under the rear body to assist with moving a gun.

Albion built 532 CX22S artillery tractors between November 1943 and June 1945.
