Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology. The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology is a private institution of higher education in England, founded in 2017 by James Dyson and based at the Dyson technology campus in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. Students work in a position in Dyson for three days a week, receive a salary, and have their tuition fees paid during their four-year course.

Origins and architecture
James Dyson had been outspoken about an engineering skills shortage and training for engineers in the United Kingdom. In November 2016, he announced the planned launch of the Dyson Institute.

 As part of the development of the Institute, accommodation and communal spaces for undergraduates were designed and built in collaboration with Wilkinson Eyre. Completed in 2019, the village consists of pre-fabricated cross-laminate timber pods, arranged in clusters around a central communal building which houses a cafe, bar, and screening room. The Dyson Institute Village was entered into the residential category of the 2019 World Architecture News awards, and the housing project of the year category of the 2019 World Architecture Festival awards.

Intake and courses
The Dyson Institute offered a single degree (Bachelor of Engineering) to the first, second and third cohorts, starting in September 2017, September 2018 and September 2019 respectively. The first two years of the four-year program were to cover the fundamentals of engineering, then specialized electronics and mechanical engineering courses would follow in the final two years.
 
The entry requirements for 2017 included AAB grades at A-level including an A in Mathematics and in another science or technology subject. Fourth-year students might be eligible to spend time at Dyson facilities in Malaysia or Singapore.

Student intake in September 2018 was 43, and by 2020 there were 150 undergraduates.

Originally, degrees were awarded in partnership with the University of Warwick, and lectures were given by professors from Warwick as well as Dyson engineers. The Institute was granted the power to award degrees in 2021.

Shay Hexagon House. The Shay Hexagon House is a house located at 396 East Main Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan. It was part of a complex of three buildings (including a machine shop and waterworks, now demolished, located across Judd Street) built by Ephraim Shay. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

History
Ephraim Shay was born in Ohio in 1839. He moved to Michigan in 1864 and eventually to Harbor Springs in 1888. He was already nationally known as the inventor of the Shay locomotive, typically used in logging applications. On arriving at Harbor Springs, Shay built a hexagonal house for his own use, and a nearby machine shop, where he constructed machines (including some of his eponymous locomotives) and manufacturing tools. About a year after the construction of the machine shop, Shay built a waterworks, which supplied Harbor Springs and Harbor Point with up to 100,000 gallons of water a day. A reservoir was constructed in 1894.

Shay lived in his house until his death in 1916. The house was sold in 1924–25, and housed a series of commercial shops. As of 2017, it is privately owned and has been carefully restored.

Shay sold the waterworks to the city of Harbor Springs in the late 1890s. The machine shop was later used as a city garage, and then as the city Fire Hall. Both buildings have been subsequently demolished, leaving the Hexagon House as the only remaining structure in the complex.

Description
The Shay Complex is composed of three structures: Ephraim Shay's private residence (known as the "Hexagon House"), his machine shop, and the waterworks.

The Hexagon House, located at 396 East Main Street, is sheathed entirely of metal on a foundation of cut stone. The roof, originally of metal sheet, was later covered with asphalt shingles. The sheets of metal used to construct the house were embossed to give the appearance of brick. Interior walls are of pressed steel.

The main body of the house is a two-story hexagon shape, and surrounding the center structure are four single-story hexagonal wings, each one a single room with five windows spaced around the perimeter. The room in the center was used as a sitting room, with the upper floor an observatory. Two main entrance halls lead to the front and rear of the house, and the center room opens onto a parlor, a dining / family room, a kitchen with a bath for the maid, and three bedrooms with two main baths. The interior was originally finished with oil paints in contrasting designs.

The machine shop is located on Judd Street across from the Hexagon. It is a large single-story brick building with a hip roof covered in shingles. Windows are set in segmental arches.

The waterworks is located just east of the machine shop. It has a partial hip roof covered in shingles.

Harbor Fog. Harbor Fog, stilled buoys dream of a lost harbor, is a responsive sensor-activated interactive contemporary public sculptural environment located in Boston along the main pedestrian walkway of Wharf District Park Parcel 17, on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. The first permanent public artwork along the Greenway, the concept was selected through a competition for commission by the Mass Highway Department, and integrated into site construction in collaboration with engineers during building of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (Big Dig).

The Harbor Fog sculpture is part of a genera of environmental artworks that use high pressure cold water fog, hot steam fog, or other gaseous materials, to produce immersive environmental sculpture.

Background
In the 17th century the site was at the edge of Boston Harbor. During periods of development over the following 260 years, urban rubble and fill was deposited, creating made land between former wharfs. The sculpture is inspired by the dynamic historical landform alterations at the location, changing light and weather patterns found at the ocean's edge, and the industrial design of harbor navigational aids.

Design details
The sculpture is constructed of three column forms fabricated from stainless steel and bronze, that reference the shape of buoys, each column contains multiple fog nozzles, LED light sources, motion sensors, and sound systems.  The sculptural columns are surrounded by a boat-shaped outline of granite seawall blocks, salvaged from landfill containing 18th century piers that were discovered during sub-surface highway construction. The 2000 lb granite seawall blocks are elevated on stainless steel supports that allow the fog to travel under the blocks, and openings between the elevated blocks allow passage into the interior space. Multiple motion sensors on top of the vertical columns register pedestrian activity that is transmitted to a computer processor to control changing sequences of fog, light, and sound.

The technology that operates the sculpture is maintained by the non-profit Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy.

Open all year, the water fog system operates seasonally.

Frank Hinman Pierpont. Frank Hinman Pierpont (born 1860, New Haven, Connecticut – died 11 February 1937, England) was an American engineer and typeface designer. He worked primarily in England for the  Monotype Corporation of Britain.

After training as a mechanic in Hartford, Connecticut, Pierpont began employment in 1886 with a patent office where he worked on a typesetting machine.  Leaving for Europe in 1894, by 1896 he became a director of Typograph Setzmachinen-Fabrik, a German manufacturer of typesetting machines.

Beginning in 1899 and continuing until 1936, a year before his death, Pierpont first helped to establish and then act as factory manager and later board member of the British branch of Lanston Monotype in Salfords, Surrey, England. While working for Monotype he supervised the reproduction of revivals of classic type designs and new designs such as Times New Roman. He reportedly had doubts about the artistic ambitions of Monotype's artistic adviser Stanley Morison and publicity manager Beatrice Warde, complaining in one 1920s memo of the Gill Sans typeface, then in development, that "I see nothing in this design to recommend it and much that is objectionable."

In his spare time Pierpont enjoyed growing roses. He retired as Works Manager in 1936 and became Consulting Engineer with a seat on the board, an occasion marked by a dinner at the Savoy Hotel, but died the following year.

Maria Kipp. Maria Kipp (1900–1988) was a German-born American textile designer and engineer active in the United States from the 1920s until her death. Her commissions ranged from the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City to Air Force One.

Life

Born in Germany, Kipp was the first woman to study at the Staatliche Fachschule für Texitilindustrie (State Academy for the Textile Industry), from where she graduated in 1923 as a textile engineer. In 1924, Kipp and her first husband emigrated to the United States. They settled in Los Angeles where Kipp opened a successful studio, Ernst Haeckel Handweaves, in 1926. She founded Maria Kipp Handweaves in 1931, which specialized in handwoven furnishing fabrics for 60 years. 
Modernist architects such as Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra sought out her designs for their interiors. 
Neutra used Kipp's designs in his own home, as did other prominent Southern California architects such as Welton Becket, who commissioned her to create interiors for the Bullock's chain of department stores, and Paul Revere Williams, who partnered with her to create interiors for celebrity homes and the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. 
Her list of celebrity clients also included Walt Disney and Claudette Colbert.

Although she was lesser known than her contemporaries Anni Albers and Dorothy Liebes, Kipp received an inaugural award for woven fabrics from the American Institute of Decorators in 1948.

Albertype. An Albertype is a picture printed from a type of gelatine-coated plate produced by means of a photographic negative. The process was invented by Josef Albert, a German photographer who owned and directed a studio and photo lab in Augsburg, Germany.

The technique is similar to collotype, but substitutes the gel plate for the lithographic stone used in collotype. Heliotype, invented in 1871 by Edwards, is another similar process.

Albert's innovation was to replace the copper or stone with glass, construct a mechanical press, and cover it with another gel layer, silicate mixed with gelatin, in order to produce about two thousand prints from each plate using etching presses and hand rollers. This new process was presented at the 1868 Photographic Exhibition in Hamburg and "albertype" was the name given by Joseph Albert. This technique was adopted by publishers creating thousands of postcards and viewbooks.

In 1890, Adolph and Herman L. Wittemann founded the Albertype Company, a postcard and viewbook publishing company in Brooklyn, New York City. This company began to use what were then "new technologies" such as the albertype to reproduce photo-mechanical images. At that time they were able to collect negatives from the cities and towns of the United States and came to create more than 25,000 prints from 1890 to 1952.
