American Iron & Metal. American Iron & Metal Company Inc. (AIM) is a Canadian recycling company for scrap metal based in Montreal, Quebec. Established in 1936 by Peter Black, it is under private ownership of his family, including Herbert Black, who serves as the CEO.

History
American Iron & Metal was established in 1936, as a scrapyard in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal by Peter Black.

In 2002, AIM established a scrapyard in Saint John, New Brunswick under a 40-year-lease with the Port of Saint John. In 2011, the company spent $30 million to expand its yard. In 2014, the company purchased the Bucksport mill in Bucksport, Maine from paper mill company Verso Corporation, leading to the mill's closure.

Incidents
In 2022, Delsan-AIM, a division of AIM based in Vaughan, Ontario, received a $35,000 fine as a result of a 2019 "demolition-gone-wrong" which resulted in a large dust cloud covering a neighbourhood in Sherman Avenue North.

On July 1, 2022, Darrell Richards, a worker in AIM's Saint John scrapyard, died as a result of a work accident. In 2024, AIM was fined $100,000 for the incident by New Brunswick Provincial Court Judge Claude Haché, and was made to fund a $7,000 scholarship in his name for the New Brunswick Community College.

On the morning of September 14, 2023, a fire was reported at AIM's scrapyard in Saint John, which resulted in thick smoke and haze covering a large part of the city. Following the incident, an investigative task force was made to look into the matter. The company also received a fine for operating without a license at a facility in Moncton. In December 2023, the task force said that "a catastrophic fire similar to that of Sept. 14, 2023, could recur." They also found the scrapyard's location "entirely inappropriate given its now known hazards and risks," given its nearby proximity to several houses in Saint John West.

Jean Timmermans. Jean Émile Charles Timmermans (8 January 1882 – 27 August 1971) was a Belgian physical chemist and educator. He was known for the discovery of plastic crystals and the published books on physical chemistry constants and experimental data of pure solutions. He also curated the work of Belgian chemist Jean Stas. Timmermans was a member of the Brussels school of thermodynamics centered around Brussels and one of the mentors of Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine.

Education and career 
Timmermans was born in Brussels and obtained his BA in chemistry from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 1900. His PhD on liquid demixing, which he received in 1905, was supervised by French chemist Léon Maurice Crismer. Timmermans became an assistant afterwards and worked in the laboratories of Viktor Rothmund at the German University in Prague from 1905 to 1906, Sydney Young at Trinity College Dublin from 1906 to 1908, Johannes Diderik van der Waals at the University of Amsterdam from 1908 to 1911, and Philippe A. Guye at the University of Geneva from 1912 to 1913. Timmermans became a lecturer (chargé de cours) at the ULB afterwards. During World War I from 1914 till 1918, he worked in the Laboratory of the Belgian army located at Sorbonne University in Paris. After the war, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry commissioned Timmermans to establish a Bureau of standards at the ULB. This proposal was realized and Timmermans became the head of the International Bureau of Physico-chemical Standards (Bureau International des Etalons Physico-Chimiques) located at the Université libre de Bruxelles since its foundation in 1921. In 1923, Timmermans became a full professor at the ULB and stayed there until World War II. From 1941 to 1945, he was an academic on exile in London and was in charge of the Department of Higher Education at the exiled Ministry of Education. He was an executive committee member and represents Belgium in the Association of University Professors and Lecturers of the Allied Countries in Great Britain.

In 1945, Timmermans became a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium. He received the Gay-Lussac medal of the Belgian Royal Society of Chemistry (Société Royale de Chimie Belgique), where he was a president from 1927 to 1928. Timmermans was the dean of the faculty of sciences at the ULB between 1935 and 1938. He also received an honorary doctorate from the University of Dijon.

Aerodis AA200 Orion. 

The Aerodis AA200 Orion is a four-seat prototype light aircraft designed in the United States and which first flew on April 7, 1991. Aerodis commissioned the design with the intention of developing a family of related aircraft sharing a common basic airframe, including the AA300 Rigel and AA330 Theta. Aerodis was also the American distributor for the Grinvalds Orion, a French light aircraft intended for homebuilding. Although the Aerodis Orion and Grinvalds Orion shared a same basic configuration and composite construction, the two aircraft were not further related, and the AA200 was an all-new design. The designs are sometimes known as the CRSS AA200 Orion, CRSS AA300 Rigel, and CRSS AA330 Theta after the rights to the designs were sold to Indonesian manufacturer CRSS.

Design and development
The Orion is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a T-tail, prominent ventral fin, and retractable, tricycle undercarriage. It is powered by a mid-mounted piston engine driving a pusher propeller though a long driveshaft. Construction throughout is of composite materials. The enclosed cabin seats four people in 2+2 configuration. 

Aerodis planned to use this design as the basis for a jet trainer aircraft, the AA300 Rigel, and a light tactical aircraft, the AA330 Theta. In both these cases, the piston engine was to be replaced by a small turbofan, either the Garrett F109 or Williams FJ44, and the cockpit was to be enclosed by a bubble canopy. The Rigel was to seat pilot and instructor in tandem, while the Theta was to be a single-seat aircraft fitted with an ejector seat. Aerodis presented both designs at the 1989 Paris Air Show.

Two prototypes of the Rigel were under construction in 1991 for entry into the US Department of Defense Joint Primary Aircraft Training System competition, one to test each of the prospective powerplants. Aerodis was unable to attract sufficient investment to complete the prototypes or continue development.

Manufacturing of Aerodis designs was to have been carried out by Cipta Restu Sarana Svaha (CRSS) in Indonesia. In 1991, Aerodis sold the whole program to CRSS.

Airbus Wingman. The Airbus Wingman is a loyal wingman aircraft in development by European aerospace manufacturer Airbus. The aircraft would be an unmanned fighter aircraft which would accompany a Eurofighter Typhoon or other combat aircraft as a force multiplier.

Development

A 1 to 1 scale "show car" version of the Wingman was unveiled on  at the 2024 ILA Berlin Air Show. The Wingman is said to feature capabilities including stealth and modern sensors, and is designed to fulfill roles including aerial reconnaissance, radar jamming, air-to-air combat and air-to-surface combat. It will be piloted by artificial intelligence. On , Airbus announced a partnership with European AI defense company Helsing to develop the Wingman's AI system.

The Wingman would be controlled by a commanding crewed fighter, the initial aircraft proposed for this role is the Eurofighter Typhoon, though Airbus has left open the possibility that other fighters or aircraft could be adapted to fit the role. According to Airbus, the F-35 Lightning, Dassault Rafale and Saab Gripen fighters as well as the A400M Atlas transport and A330 MRTT tanker could be adapted to command Wingman aircraft. Airbus has stated that human pilots in the command aircraft would always be the "final decision making authority" in combat and would "always have control of the mission".

Potential operators

As of June 2024, Airbus is working with the German Air Force to use the Wingman to meet their requirement of an aircraft which can augment their Air Force before the introduction of the Future Combat Air System in the 2040s. Airbus is also reportedly in negotiations with the Spanish Air and Space Force for possible purchases. The Royal Air Force and Italian Air Force are both also current users of the Eurofighter; a spokesperson from the United Kingdom declined to confirm or deny whether the country's air force was interested in the Wingman.

2,4,6-Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol. 2,4,6-Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol is an aromatic organic chemical that has tertiary amine and phenolic hydroxyl functionality in the same molecule. The formula is C15H27N3O and the CAS Registry Number is 90-72-2. It is REACH registered and the European Community Number is 202-013-9.

Uses
A key use is as a catalyst for epoxy resin chemistry. It can be used as a homopolymerization catalyst for epoxy resins and also as an accelerator with epoxy resin curing agents. It is then further used in coatings, sealants, composites, adhesives and elastomers. It has been stated that it is probably the most widely used room temperature accelerator for two-component epoxy resin systems. The kinetics of curing with and without this accelerator have been extensively studied. It is the usual benchmark or control used when other catalysts and accelerators are being developed and tested.

In addition to its use in epoxy chemistry, it is also used in polyurethane chemistry for example by grafting the molecule into the polymer backbone. It is also used as a trimerization catalyst with polymeric MDI.

Polyether ether ketones may also be grafted with the molecule which then finds use in lithium batteries.

The high functionality of the molecule means it can be used to complex some transition metals and this has also been studied.

Often cited weaknesses are yellowing and odor.

Manufacture
The material is a Mannich base and is manufactured by reacting phenol, formaldehyde and dimethylamine in a reactor under vacuum and removing the water produced.

Toxicity
It is classed as a high volume chemical and as such, its toxicity profile has been extensively studied.
