SaabO. SaabO (official name Saab Typ 260-3 Saabo) is a caravan created and manufactured by Saab from 1964-1968 in Ljunga, outside Norrköping, Sweden. In total, 390 units were manufactured.

The project was started by Bo Bjernekull of the Ljunga plant and Birger Lindberg at Saab in Linköping. Officially they were working on a project called MEFAN that was supposed to produce hovercraft for the military. Unofficially they made a camper caravan.

The idea was to get a product to even out the workload at the helicopter department, that at the time mainly assembled helicopters manufactured in France. After making a model in 1:10 scale they received the OK for production. A first prototype was made at Fisksätra boatyard and the pre-production prototypes at Marieholms Bruk. The first prototypes were made without brakes, but these were soon added. It was important to keep the weight down as the caravan would be used with automobiles with as little as 25 hp (19 kW), like the 38 hp (28 kW) two stroke Saab 96. Another reason to save weight was that Swedish regulation at the time allowed unrestricted speed with a caravan if the weight was low enough.

The SaabO included space enough for a family of four, or five (with bunk). It was designed with large, low-set windows so the driver of the towing vehicle could see through the caravan when looking in the rear-view mirror. The interior consisted of two sofas, a dining table, galley sink and two wardrobes. Liquified petroleum gas was used for cooking, heating and lighting. The design was made with two half shells of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) enclosing an insulation of folded cardboard.

HS-376. The Boeing 376 (sometimes referred to as the BSS-376, and previously as the HS-376) is a communications satellite bus introduced in 1978 by Hughes Space and Communications Company. It was a spin-stabilized bus, a successor to Hughes HS-333.

Design 
The satellite bus was designed and manufactured by Hughes. This spin-stabilized platform had two main sections. The spinning section was kept rotating at 50 rpm to maintain attitude, and a despun section was used by the payload to maintain radio coverage.

The spinning section included the apogee kick motor, most of the attitude control, the power subsystem and the command and telemetry subsystems. The despun section contained the communications payload, including the antennas and transponders.

The stock version had a launch mass of , a mass of  after reaching geostationary orbit and an 8 to 10-year design life. When stowed for launch, its dimensions were  in height and  in diameter. With its solar panels fully extended its height was .

Its power system generated approximately 1,100 to 1,200 watts of power at beginning of life, thanks to two cylindrical solar panels. The bottom panel was retracted around the body and top panel for launch, and extended downwards for operation. It also had two NiCd batteries for solar eclipses.

Versions 
There were four variations of this platform:
 HS-376: The original version of the platform was launched in 1977. It had a mass between .
 HS-376L: The Longer life version of the platform was launched in 1991. It had reduced power of 700 Watts and reduced electronics weight, which allowed for increased station keeping propellant supply. This lengthened the design life to 13.5 years.
 HS-376HP: A Higher Power version of the platform was launched in 1995. It had a mass between .
 HS-376W: The Wide version of the platform was launched in 1990. It was wider, more powerful and modernized electronics. It was a joint development with INPE. It had a diameter of  and more power.

Satellites 
The HS-376 was a very successful satellite platform with 58 satellites ordered, built and launched. It was also the first satellite to launch from the Space Shuttle.

Long Range Discrimination Radar. The Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) in Alaska is part of the United States's Ground-Based Midcourse Defense anti-ballistic missile system. The main contractor is Lockheed Martin, under a US$784 million contract from the Missile Defense Agency in October 2015.

LRDR is a gallium nitride (GaN)-based, solid-state active electronically scanned array (AESA) early-warning radar that allows for continuous coverage, even when it is undergoing maintenance. The radar consists of individual solid state radar blocks that can be combined to scale up the size of the radar. The multi-purpose GaN device used on the prototype version of the LRDR is from the Japanese electronics company Fujitsu, according to Lockheed Martin.

Construction in Alaska for the LRDR was scheduled to begin in 2019, tentatively at Clear Space Force Station in central Alaska. Each AESA's dimensions are 60 feet high by 60 feet wide; the field of view is 220 degrees.

In late February 2021, the Missile Defense Agency said that the radar installation was underway, with Initial Operational Capability to be achieved in 2021. Testing for Full Operational Capability is expected by 2023.

In mid-August 2023, the Flight Test Other-26 (FTX-26) was cancelled due to an anomaly with the live ballistic missile target. When operational, the LRDR will be tied into the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system and the Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications system.

AN/SPY-7(V)1
The AN/SPY-7(V)1 is the official designation of an LRDR-derivative used with the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System. On 30 July 2018, the Japanese government approved a plan to purchase two pairs of AN/SPY-7(V)1 for the Aegis Ashore facility and will be installed in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Akita Prefecture. The first operation is expected to start from 2025, by Japan Ground Self Defense Force.

Missile Defense Agency has also decided to use AN/SPY-7(V)1 for the Aegis Ashore to be installed in Hawaii. Derivatives of the AN/SPY-7(V)1 will be used on the River-class destroyer and the Spanish F-110 frigate.

In September 2020, AN/SPY-7(V)1 was chosen by Canada as the primary radar for its future River-class destroyer along with CMS-330 Combat Management System with Aegis Combat System.

Lockheed Martin promoted this version of radar as the AN/SPY-1 refurbishment program to the US Navy to extend the lifespan of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser and Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to beyond the 2040s. In December 2021, the AN/SPY-6 AESA radar from Raytheon was selected to retrofit Flight IIA Arleigh Burke destroyers; the same radar is used on Flight III ships.

SBS 6 (satellite). SBS 6 was a geostationary communications satellite designed and manufactured by Hughes (now Boeing) on the HS-393 platform. It was originally ordered by Satellite Business Systems, which later sold it to Hughes Communications and was last used by Intelsat. It had a Ku band payload and operated on the 95°W longitude.

Satellite description
The spacecraft was designed and manufactured by Hughes on the HS-393 satellite bus. It had a launch mass of , a mass of  after reaching geostationary orbit and an 8-year design life. When stowed for launch, its dimensions were  long and  in diameter.

With its solar panels fully extended it spanned . Its power system generated approximately 2,350 Watts of power thanks to two cylindrical solar panels. It also had a two 38Ah NiH2 batteries. These panels used K7 and K4-3/4 solar cells and were more than twice the number than on the HS-376.

Its propulsion system was composed of two R-4D LAE with a thrust of . It also used two axial and four radial  bipropellant thrusters for station keeping and attitude control. It included enough propellant for orbit circularization and 8 years of operation.

Its payload was composed of a  multi horn antenna by thirty 45 MHz Ku band transponders, of which 19 were active and 11 spares. It had a total active bandwidth of 855 MHz. The Ku band transponders had a TWTA output power of 41 Watts. It also had an omnidirectional command and telemetry antenna.

History
In 1985 Satellite Business Systems decided to order a more powerful satellite than the HS-376 based previous satellites. Thus, it ordered the HS-393 based SBS 6 from Hughes, becoming the first customer of the platform.

On October 12, 1990, SBS 6 was finally launched by an Ariane 44L from Kourou ELA-2 at 22:58 UTC.

In April 2009, SBS 6 finally decommissioned and put on a graveyard orbit.

Matthew Arrandale. Matthew Arrandale (died 18 September 1913) was a British trade unionist and politician.

Born in the Clayton area of Manchester, Arrandale's father was killed in a mining accident.  As a result, Arrandale was sent out to work at the age of nine, working as a half-timer in a cotton mill.  Four years later, he began working full-time in a dye works.

In 1863, Arrandale decided he wished to move into engineering, and found employment at a railway carriageworks.  After a variety of jobs, he joined the United Machine Workers' Association in 1874, and soon rose to prominence, being elected as president of the Manchester and Salford Trades Council three years later, and as the Machine Workers' part-time general secretary in 1885.

Arrandale was a delegate to the Trades Union Congress (TUC) for this first time in 1886, and gave speeches opposing overtime and piecework which gained national attention.  As a result, he was sacked from his job, but the Machine Workers agreed to make his role with the union full-time.  He proved highly successful, increasing membership from 371 in 1885 to 5,200 by 1909.

Arrandale was also politically active, and was elected to Manchester City Council in 1895; he also served as a justice of the peace.  He was the TUC's representative to the American Federation of Labour in 1902, served on the Parliamentary Committee of the TUC from 1908, was on the Management Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions, and was vice-president of the Federation of Engineering and Shipbuilding Trades.

In mid-1913, Arrandale became ill, and resigned his union positions.  He died in September that year.

CFosSpeed. cFosSpeed is a traffic shaping software often bundled with MSI motherboards for the
Windows operating system. The program attaches itself as a device driver to the Windows
network stack where it performs packet inspection
and layer-7 protocol analysis. It has been noted as causing some issues with network connections, and can be difficult to uninstall when bundled.

A version of the software is bundled with some Gigabyte_Technology motherboards under the name "Gigabyte Speed" and some ASRock motherboards as "XFast LAN".

Operational summary 
The software divides data packets into different traffic classes through filtering rules. It has been noted to cause problems with some users' internet connections.
Data traffic can be classified and prioritized by program name, by layer-7 protocol, by
TCP or UDP port
numbers, by DSCP tags as well as many other criteria.

Outgoing traffic is queued and sent out in order of priority. The program uses TCP flow control to send new data only after older data has been received. Data may also be throttled by lowering the TCP window size. The software contains a packet filter firewall. Users are also able to write their own traffic classifications.

In recent years some driver issues have been found with cFosSpeed but they are easily fixable.
