Play for Your Life. Play For Your Life is an isometric action game produced by Ocean for the ZX Spectrum and published by Your Sinclair as a cover tape game in 1988. The game is a simulation of a futuristic tennis-like sport played by robots with bats in an enclosed room.

Gameplay 
The player controls a robot with a bat attempting to hit a ball at a circular target on the opposing wall. Alternatively, the player may try to kill the opponent by hitting it with the ball or bat. The computer-controlled opposing player is trying to do the same.

As the game progresses more balls are brought into play, up to a limit of four. A round is won when one player scores three goals or kills the opponent.

There are 26 levels of varying difficulty. Later levels feature movable barriers and various other obstacles to complicate play.

Nova 5. Nova 5 is an autonomous robot designed for intelligent search and rescue applications created by two electronics engineers and brothers Fady and Sami Khaled.  Unlike remote-controlled robots, Nova 5 uses artificial intelligence to interpret its surroundings, process the information and then navigate independently. It operates via a built-in fuzzy neural network which mimics the function of the human brain’s neurons.

Description

The robot is approximately 68 cm wide and 70 cm in length and recognizes objects using on-board sensors, a camera and an advanced edge detection algorithm as well as a normalization algorithm. This mathematical algorithm is part of the on-board training model that detects and stores inputs while studying normal conditions.

Operation

Utilizing electronic neurons, Nova 5 acquires data using a neural training model, stores the data and then uses the relevant data to make better decisions. This enables the robot to learn over time and use its past experiences for more accurate decisions. Nova 5 acquires input from its environment and reacts to those inputs without human intervention or control. It is used in sniffing and reconnaissance applications, therefore participating in life saving situations.

Nova 5 has the ability to detect human emotions using built-in facial recognition. It can also recognize noise and gasses in the surrounding environment such as hydrogen sulfide gas. It can also map an area and generate a 3D map of the area traversed. Nova 5 uses a communication system which operates via a 10 km wireless link and a radio link for enabling human control.

Pilot Industries. Pilot Industries was an American company that developed and manufactured fuel and fluid handling systems primarily for the automotive industry. Other products included non-destructive test systems and injection molding equipment. Established in 1977, Pilot's corporate headquarters were in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with technical centers in Dexter, Michigan and in the UK.  Manufacturing facilities were located in Dexter, Michigan (2 plants); Manchester, Michigan; Clare, Michigan; Reed City, Michigan; Sterling Heights, Michigan; North Vernon, Indiana; Born, Netherlands; and Saltillo, Mexico.

Among the companies they made parts for were Ford, General Motors, Harrison Radiator Corporation, and Chrysler.  A large percentage of the parts were fuel lines for Ford's F-150 and Ranger.

History 
Pilot was a plastic extrusion co. Until they acquired R&C Fabricators, Big Rapids, Mi, which was a metal tubing manufacturing co. in 1990.

Due to heat issues with the extruded nylon fuels line supplied to Ford by Pilot, Ford insisted Pilot develop metals manufacturing capability in order to retain their current supplier contracts.

With the addition of metals capabilities Pilot retained the Ford contracts, and Pilot Metal products grew from $100,000 in sales in 1991 to over $35m in sales by 1998. It was not until the mid 1990s that PCap was able to be developed, based on the profitability and success of the Metals Div.

Pilot Industries rose to success based on its patented PCAP tubing, developed by Ed Krause.  PCAP is a multi-layered tubing with Teflon being the inner layer, and prevented fuel vapor from escaping through the walls of the tubing, important for emissions regulations.

On January 31, 2002, the company was purchased out of bankruptcy by Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity firm, and later that year sold to Martinrea International.

Maytag-Mason Motor Company. The Maytag-Mason Motor Company of Waterloo, Iowa manufactured Maytag automobiles from 1910 to 1912. The company's founder was Frederick Louis Maytag I, who is better known for his development of the Maytag washing machine company.

History 
Maytag formed the company by purchasing a controlling interest in the Mason Automobile Company of Des Moines, Iowa, in 1909. That company, which had been created by Fred Duesenberg, August Duesenberg, and lawyer Edward R. Mason, had been producing an automobile called the Mason.  

The former Waterloo Motor Works in Waterloo, Iowa, was purchased for automobile production.  Maytag-Mason brought out a new four-cylinder engine and the larger car for 1910 was called Maytag. The two-cylinder engine car continued to be called the Mason.

Large parts purchases did not match slowing sales and the company went into receivership in 1911.  Maytag sold his interest in the company, and in 1912 the company was reorganized as Mason Motor Company.  This company went into receivership in 1915 and was closed down by 1917.  Approximately 983 Maytag cars were built.

Roy Gibson. Roy Gibson (born 4 July 1924) is a British former aerospace engineer. He served as Director General of ESRO, and the first Director General of ESA, serving from 1975 until 1980.

Early years 
Gibson was born in Manchester on 4 July 1924, and educated at Chorlton High School and at the Universities of Oxford and London (London School of Economics).

Early in World War II, Gibson joined the Home Guard, although underage, and subsequently joined the Army as a volunteer at age 18. After officer training at Catterick and commissioning into the Royal Signals, he served with Mountbatten's headquarters in India and Ceylon from 1944 during the Burma Campaign. Late in the campaign, Gibson was posted to Akyab Island and then to Rangoon immediately after the Japanese had evacuated from there.

From 1948 to 1958, he served in the British Colonial Administrative Service in Malaya.

Career 
Gibson returned to London to work at the UK Atomic Energy Authority until 1967. He became Deputy Director of the ESRO Technical Centre (ESTEC), until 1971 when he became Director of Administration for ESRO. From 1974 he was Acting Director General of ESRO, and oversaw the transition of the two previous organisations ESRO and ELDO to form the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1975.

Gibson was the first Director General of the British National Space Centre from 1985 to 1987. From 1987 to 1992 he worked at INMARSAT, and then at EUMETSAT. Since then he has served as an aerospace consultant to the ESA and the EU Commission, and has worked on the setting up of the European Environment Agency.

In 1977, Gibson received the Grand Decoration of Honour in Silver with Star for Services to the Republic of Austria.

Later life
Gibson turned 100 on 4 July 2024.

He was awarded the British Empire Medal in the King's 2025 honours list for his services to space.

Exhalation (short story). "Exhalation" is a science fiction short story by American writer Ted Chiang about the second law of thermodynamics. It was first published in 2008 in the anthology Eclipse 2: New Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited by Jonathan Strahan. In 2019, the story was included in the collection of short stories Exhalation: Stories.

Plot
The story takes the form of a long scientist's journal entry. The scientist is a member of a race of air-driven mechanical beings. The race obtains air from swappable lungs filled with pressurized air (argon) from underground. When it is realized that a number of clocks simultaneously appear to be running fast but do not appear to be malfunctioning, the narrator decides to explore the explanation that people's brains are computing more slowly.

The scientist dissects his own brain and discovers that it operates based on the movement of air through tubes with small flaps of gold leaf acting as switches. The scientist hypothesizes that others' brains are computing more slowly because rising atmospheric pressure causes air to move the gold leaf at a slower rate, and that the subterranean supply of argon will eventually be depleted, equalizing the pressure between the two atmospheres.

Reception
"Exhalation" won the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Short Story. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific called it a "wonderful parable", while The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction described it as "limpid" and an "elegant thought experiment". The California Sunday Magazine praised it as an "inventive meditation on death".
