Auroratone. Auroratone films were produced by the Auroratone Foundation of America Inc. in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The films showed crystal-like abstract color patterns that changed and blended with each other. The patterns were produced by using crystallizing chemicals and polarized light, which were then synchronized to a variety of recorded musical tracks. The process was developed by English psychologist and scientist Cecil Stokes, who was the founder and technical director of the company. Stokes was issued patent 2292172 on August 4, 1942, for "Process and Apparatus for Producing Musical Rhythm in Color".

The films were combined into a thirty-minute-long color movie entitled Music In Color.  The first films were presented to the public in 1940 in San Diego and were then shown at various theaters in the United States and Canada.

The name "Auroratone" was suggested by Father Bernard Hubbard, the "Glacier Priest", who characterized the process as the nearest thing to the natural Aurora Borealis which he had ever seen.

The films were used as an experimental aid to the treatment of psychiatric patients, in particular war veterans.  Some of these films were made available in August, 1945 to researchers Herbert E. Rubin and Elias Katz at Crile General Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.  Bing Crosby was involved with these films due to his being a shareholder in the foundation and his interest in the rehabilitation of veterans.

The Auroratone film process was considered as an application that would be incorporated into jukeboxes.

A restored version of "When the Organ Played 'Oh Promise Me'", taken from a 16 mm film, is viewable on YouTube.

C. Michael Roland. Charles Michael Roland (22 April 1952 - 2 October 2021) was Head of the Polymer Physics Section at the Naval Research Lab in Washington DC from 1989 to 2015. His research was concerned primarily with the dynamics of condensed matter, including polymers and liquid crystals, with applications to military armor and infrastructure protection. He is noted for his development of elastomeric coatings for blast protection, and for diverse accomplishments in the field of elastomer science.  From 1991-1999, he served as the 8th editor of the scientific journal Rubber Chemistry and Technology, and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining (UK).

Personal 

Roland was born in Trenton, New Jersey. He went by his middle name Michael to avoid confusion at home, as his father was also named Charles. He had one sister. His father worked for the post office after dropping out of school during the depression after the eighth grade.  As a youth, Roland knew he wanted to go into science. He had a chemistry set and tried to make gunpowder.  He enjoyed basketball and chose his undergraduate college in part for the opportunity to play, turning more to his studies after a knee injury.

Education

Roland received his BS in Chemistry at Grove City College in 1974. He was late applying to graduate school, and so for a short time he worked as a lab instructor at a community college teaching chemistry.  He soon was accepted to graduate school at Penn State working under advisor William A. Steele. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1980.  In his final year of grad school, he interviewed for jobs with Firestone, DuPont and American Cyanamid.

Career

In 1981, Roland was recruited to Firestone's Central Research Labs by Georg Bohm, who persuaded Roland with an offer to work on long term research projects.  Roland enjoyed his research and continued at Firestone until 1986, when due to poor economic conditions in the automotive sector and to R&D cuts in the aftermath of the Firestone 500 recall, he decided to seek employment elsewhere.  He soon won a position with the United States Naval Research Laboratory. His first project looked at thermodynamically miscible blends of 1-4 polyisoprene and 1-2 polybutadiene. He worked on blast protection and on elastomer networks.  During his career he produced 22 patents.  He retired from NRL in 2020.

Van Amstel-class frigate. The Van Amstel class was a class of six frigates that were built during the Second World War in the United States and served as  during that war. After the war the destroyer escorts were loaned to the Dutch navy as part of the MDAP and from 1950 to 1967 served as the Van Amstel-class frigates.

History
During the Second World War the United States built several destroyer escorts, such as the Cannon class. The construction time of the destroyer escorts was short, it took about four months to build a Cannon-class destroyer escort. This led to the construction of many escorts. Some ships were immediately after construction given to allied nations such as the Brazilian Navy and the French Navy. During the Second World War the destroyer escorts functioned as protectors of the supply and troop transport vessels against the submarine threat and airborne attacks. Although the estimated lifetime of the destroyer escorts was short, many managed to reach an age of 20 years. After World War II, a large number of destroyer escorts were loaned or sold to other navies, including the Netherlands. The last active Cannon-class destroyer was the Filipino , the former USS Atherton, which was decommissioned in 2018.

After the Second World War the Mutual Defense Aid Program signed to help West-Europe militarily and financially. The aim of the MDAP program was to ensure that West-Europe remained outside the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. To this end the United States provided under the MDAP a lot of money and material to West European countries, for example, in 1950 1,450,000,000 dollars was spent under the MDAP. In the period 1950-1951 the Netherlands was lent six frigates of the Cannon-class as part of the MDAP. These ships were the former USS Burrows, USS Rine Heart, USS Gustafson, USS O'Neill, USS Stern and the USS Eisner, which were put into service as the HNLMS Van Amstel, HNLMS De Bitter, HNLMS Van Ewijck, HNLMS Dubois, HNLMS De Zeeuw and HNLMS Van Zijll. The destroyer escorts that were meant for the Netherlands were the first ships that the United States, on the grounds of the MDAP program made available to an ally.

The frigates of the Van Amstel-class had, like all other Cannon-class ships, a diesel electric tandem motor drive and were because of this known in the US as the DET type. The four diesels together delivered 6000pk for a maximum speed of 19 knots. The range of the ships was considerable: 10,000 nautical miles.

In the 1960s were outdated and needed to be replaced. The Royal Netherlands Navy began designing in August 1960 the successor of the Van Amstel-class frigates. These frigates would later be known as the Van Speijk-class frigates, and started to replace the Cannon-class frigates in 1967. In 1968 the Cannon-class frigates were sold and scrapped by various companies.

Ships in class
The following ships were part of the Van Amstel-class, they were built by several shipbuilders.

Demilitarization Protective Ensemble. The Demilitarization Protective Ensemble (DPE) is a heat-sealed, one-time-use positive pressure personnel suit. 

These airtight suits are used by the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency to provide the highest level of protection against chemical agent exposure for workers accessing areas of chemical weapon disposal plants where chemical weapons are disassembled and the agent destroyed. Workers at Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and other disposal sites have successfully completed tens of thousands of entries into these areas wearing DPE suits.

With supporting equipment, the suit weighs about 50 pounds. Donning the suit takes between 30 and 45 minutes, with the assistance of a team of dressers.

The suit's primary air supply comes through a hose connection to purified air; a self-contained breathing apparatus provides 8 to 10 minutes of escape air in case the primary supply is disrupted. A heart monitor around the wearer's chest checks for signs of distress.

The suit's gloves have three layers, with thick butyl rubber gloves as the top layer, and the feet of the one-piece suit slip into butyl rubber boots that are then sealed to the suit.

A radio transmitter provides contact with emergency backup personnel, the control room and other support staff.

NASA GL-10 Greased Lightning. The GL-10 Greased Lightning is a hybrid diesel-electric tiltwing unmanned aircraft.

Development
The wing has eight electric motor-driven propellers, while the horizontal stabilizer has two. In the future full-scale version, power will be generated by two 6 kW (8 hp) diesel engines which will charge lithium-ion batteries. The propellers on the leading edge of the wing provide high speed flow, and thus lift, on the wing even in low forward velocity flight allowing pitch, roll, and yaw control authority during the critical transition phase from hover to forward flight.

The VTOL capability of this new class of UAV eliminates the requirement for additional ground support equipment like launch catapults and landing catch mechanisms. In addition, the propellers are designed for a relatively low tip speed resulting in a marked reduction in noise. The aircraft is designed to complete several vertical take-off and landings during its mission with a loiter endurance of 24 hours in the forward flight mode. The GL-10 performed transitions between vertical and horizontal flight in 2015.

The Greased Lightning was followed by the Langley Aerodrome No. 8 (LA-8), a tandem-wing, deflected-slipstream (demonstrated in the late 1950s by the Ryan VZ-3 Vertiplane) design with four propellers on each wing for urban air mobility, tested in a Low-Speed Wind Tunnel before flight tests in late August 2019.

Hydroelectricity in Thailand. Thailand has set targets and policies for the development of its energy sector for 2035, with priority being given to indigenous renewable energy resources, including hydropower.

Hydropower in Thailand is the biggest form of renewable energy in Thailand, beating solar power in Thailand and wind power in Thailand, with a total capacity of over 7000 megawatts (MW) of hydropower generation capacity installed in 26 hydroelectric dams in the country. The biggest hydroelectric dam in Thailand is the Bhumibol Dam, which has eight turbines giving it a total capacity of 749 MW. The dam was opened in 1964 and is owned and operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). As of 2000, large-scale hydropower generation in Thailand had reached almost 3 gigawatts (GW), and development has since slowed as concerns were raised on environmental impacts of large hydropower plants. Generation from small-scale hydropower is rising at a modest rate.

Thailand also imports electricity produced by hydroelectric power stations in other countries. By September 2015, Thailand was importing 7% of the electricity it could produce. Electricity was being imported from Laos, Myanmar and China.

To complement Thailand's hydropower plants, EGAT plans to build floating solar-hydro projects on eight reservoir dams around the country, with a total planned capacity of 1 GW.
