Richard Reynolds Rowe. Richard Reynolds Rowe  (5 June 1824 – 21 December 1899) was an English architect and civil engineer, mainly active in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. His best-known work is the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

Biography

Richard Reynolds Rowe was born in 1824, the son of Richard Rowe, a Cambridge alderman. He attended school at Eaton-Socon, and then either school or university in Cambridge. In his early career he worked mainly as a civil engineer. His first position was on the Isle of Man, as clerk of works for St Thomas's Church, Douglas (1847). He next worked on water supply and drainage projects in Essex.

In 1850 he set up practice in Cambridge as an architect, from 1893 in partnership with C. R. Scott, and designed and built several buildings around Cambridge and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire. He was the borough surveyor in 1850–69, and also served as the architect attached to the Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely Asylum at Fulbourn and the clerk of works for Ely Cathedral. He was an elected fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Society of Antiquaries and the Surveyors' Institution, a member of the Institute of Civil Engineers (1859), and served as president of the Institute of Sanitary Engineers. His other honours include being a Knight of Justice of the Order of St John of Jerusalem.

Rowe was married. With William John Beamont, he was associated with the foundation of the Church Congress in 1861. In later life, he lived at Parkside in Cambridge. He died on 21 December 1899. His funeral was held at St Andrew the Great and he was buried at Mill Road Cemetery.

Works
His most-notable work in Cambridge is the Cambridge Corn Exchange (1873–75). His other buildings in the town include St Matthew's Church (1864–66), number 6, Trumpington Road (1866), Wilton Terrace, Station Road, almshouses on King Street (1880), and (with C. R. Scott) the Red Cow pub on Corn Exchange Street (1898).

Outside Cambridge, he built Anglican churches at Burwell (1863), Prickwillow (1865–66) and Wendy (1866; demolished in around 1950), and was involved in restoring many Anglican churches in Cambridgeshire, including those at Stuntney (1875–76) and Haddenham (1871–77). He also built vicarages or rectories at Graveley (1853–54), Fulbourn (1859) and Chatteris (1878–80). 

His non-ecclesiastical work in Cambridgeshire includes the police station (1855) at Linton and Arkenstall's Endowed School at Haddenham (1863).

Alan Neville Gent. Alan Neville Gent (11 November 1927 – 20 September 2012) was a professor at the University of Akron. He was recognized during his lifetime as a world-leading authority on the topics of adhesion physics, crystalline and glassy polymers, and the fracturing of rubber.

Contributions to rubber science
Gent discovered the Fletcher-Gent effect and developed the Gent hyperelastic model. He was involved in the investigation of the O-ring failure in the space shuttle Challenger disaster. Gent also published more than 200 works about rubber science. He was the editor and author of the textbook Engineering with Rubber and studied the conditions that cause cavitation in rubber under the action of hydrostatic tensile loading.  His most frequently cited work proposed a hyperelastic stress-strain law for rubber.

Life
Gent was born in Leicester, England. He obtained degrees in Physics and Mathematics at the University of London. He obtained a doctorate in 1955 in the mechanics of deformation and fracture of rubber and plastics.

At age 17, Gent worked as a research assistant at the John Bull Rubber Co. He served in the British Army from 1947 to 1949 before becoming a research physicist and later a principal physicist at the British Rubber Producer's Research Association.

Gent joined the faculty of the University of Akron in 1961 and spent almost half a century at the school.

He was an assistant director of the Institute of Polymer Science and dean of graduate studies and research in addition to being a researcher and professor.

Gent received the 1975 Bingham Medal and the Colwyn Medal of the Plastics and Rubber Institute from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) in 1978 and the George S. Whitby teaching award in 1987. Gent also received the Charles Goodyear Medal from the ACS Rubber Division in 1990.

He died on 20 September 2012 at the age of 85.

ELFIN. Electron Losses and Fields Investigation (ELFIN) is a nanosatellite developed by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). ELFIN is a 3U+ CubeSat designed to study space weather, specifically, the loss of relativistic electrons in the radiation belts. ELFIN was a participant in the Air Force Research Lab's University Nanosatellite Program and is currently funded by  NASA's Low Cost Access to Space program and the National Science Foundation.

ELFIN carries a fluxgate magnetometer as well as two energetic particle detectors: one for ions and one for electrons and aims to understand the loss mechanisms of relativistic "killer" electrons by providing pitch angle resolved energetic particle measurements. The principal investigator of the project is Vassilis Angelopoulos.

Launch 
ELFIN and ELFIN* are part of NASA's ELaNa-18. ELFIN launched with ICESat-2 in September 2018 from Vandenberg Air Force Base. They are tracked with NORAD ID of 43617 (ELFIN A) and 43616 (ELFIN B).

ELFIN-L 
ELFIN-L is a collaboration mission between UCLA and Moscow State University. The Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) at UCLA delivered the ELFIN instruments for the Mikhailo Lomonosov Russian University Satellite. The satellite launched on 28 April 2016.

ELFIN-STAR 
Electron Losses and Fields Investigation with Spatio Temporal Ambiguity Resolution (ELFIN-STAR or ELFIN*) option was awarded and executed in November 2017, which adds an identical CubeSat to the launch. This allows two measurements to be made over the same location in orbit which can determine if electron loss mechanisms are varying spatially or temporally. The satellites, ELFIN-A and ELFIN-B launched on 15 September 2018.

Saurer MH4. The Saurer MH4 was a military vehicle of the Swiss Army that was produced by the company Saurer, and was used from 1945 to 1985 as troop transport.

History and description
The M4, Saurer Factory designation 4MH, 4-wheeled vehicle (M for military version and H (Heck) for rear engine) was specially developed as a howitzer tow vehicle. The vehicle had permanent four-wheel drive, Kegelraddifferenziale front and rear. Many parts corresponded to the execution of the M6 and M8 Saurer 6x6 and 8x8 military trucks. The engine was almost identical, but had two fewer cylinders.

The model 1946 Saurer had a CR1DM four-cylinder engine with 70 horsepower. The newer model CR2DM from 1952 had an engine with 75 HP. All were equipped with M4 front winch, pulling 2500 kg, cable length 70 meters. Cable only forward possible. The model 1946, behind the cab side. Each 3 consecutive bucket seats, in the middle of room for ammunition, equipment and tools, tarpaulin roof on steel framework, open side.

The Model 1952 had between cab and engine a loading ramp with a small folding side loading, front and back on that bridge had a foldable bench for 4 persons capacity, increased by around 600 kg to 2250 kg On Model 1952 also the fuel tank was arranged differently, the content increased from 70 to 100 liters. A new front fascia and a revised hood were also improvements of the Model 1952. The five-speed transmission remained unchanged, as is the steering. Since the engine was installed behind a relatively light steering and a good survey showed ahead.

The close seating arrangement at 4MH was also by design. To achieve the lowest possible car silhouette, the seats were within and not located on the wheel arches. Consequently, there was only space in center of the vehicle. Stability in the area was compared with the Saurer M6 and M8, despite the almost identical central tube frame means substantially better. Regarding off-road capability, he stood by his multi-wheeled brothers M6 and M8 in nothing. While pulling heavy trailer loads in the grounds of the rear engine also played out his trump card.
One is on display at the Schweizerische Militärmuseum Full and one in the Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte.

Fliegerabwehrpanzer 68. Fliegerabwehrpanzer 68 was a Swiss self-propelled anti-aircraft gun which was tested but did not enter service.

History and development 
In 1977, a project of Contraves AG Oerlikon-Buehrle, Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette and Siemens was presented for an air defense shield. In 1979, the construction of two prototypes was decided in collaboration with the K + W Thun. 1979 saw the delivery of the prototypes to the Group on Arms Services. From 1979 to 1980, the vehicles were subjected to rigorous testing, but the project was cancelled in favor of the Rapier missile. The actual weapon system formed the FlaK-Turm ("Flak turret"), which came from the German Flakpanzer Gepard based on the chassis of the Panzer 68 widened by 180 mm.  It mainly included the homing radar, tracking radar, the fire control with computers and the twin 35-mm weapons.

The crew consisted of the commander, the gunner and the driver. The target search radar allowed a continuous and reliable air surveillance and Identification friend or foe while in motion. The target tracking radar detected and tracked an assigned air target automatically in lateral and vertical angle and at a distance. The analog computer calculated the deflection angle for the guns, taking account of the daily influences, the continuously measured values Vo and the tilting of the vehicle. The main armament consisted of two 35-mm guns with ammunition feed and the ammunition boxes.

Two vehicles, with the M numbers M0888 and M0889, were used for testing in troop deployment from 1979 to 1980. A vehicle is on display at the Tank Museum in Thun.

Nahkampfkanone 2. Nahkampfkanone 2 is a prototype tank destroyer of Swiss design.

History and development 

The hull and the superstructure were made of cast steel by the Georg Fischer AG. The construction of the chassis was by Saurer in Arbon, the assembly of the chassis at Berna in Olten and the design and installation of the gun of the K + W in Thun. Driver, commander and the horizontal gunner sat side left, right vertical gunner and loader. The gun was mounted in a hull based superstructure and had only a limited traverse arc, so the entire vehicle had to be turned onto the target before the gun itself could be aimed. The gun barrel could be retracted for travel.

Four different types (A1, A2, B1, B2) were planned, but one prototype was made and that did not see service; only driving tests were made in Thun from 1946 to 1947 for testing in troop deployment. Development was stopped in 1947.

The prototype is on display at the tank museum in Thun.
