Herbert Lindinger. Herbert Lindinger (born 3 December 1933 in Wels) is an Austrian graphic artist, exhibition designer, industrial designer, and university professor. He is known for designing trains and trams such as the S-DT8.12 Stuttgart light rail cars, and the TW 6000 and TW 2000 (with Jasper Morrison) for the city of Hanover, Germany, as well as the associated urban furniture and infrastructure. The logo of the University of Hannover, which evokes Leibniz's exploration of the binary number system, was also designed by Lindinger.

Early life and education 
Lindinger was born in Wels, Austria in 1933. He studied graphic and exhibition design in Linz from 1950 to 1954, and subsequently studied product design at the Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) from 1954 to 58, where he was a student of Josef Albers, Johannes Itten, Max Bill, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Tomas Maldonado, and Hans Gugelot.

Work and career 

In the 1950s he worked alongside Hans Gugelot, Otl Aicher, Herbert Hirche, and Dieter Rams designing audio equipment for Braun.

He was a lecturer at the Ulm School of Design (HfG) from 1962 to 1968, and subsequently, from 1971 to 1998, a professor and Director of the Institute for Industrial Design at the University of Hanover.

Lindinger is known for his designs for trams and subway cars in Stuttgart, Hannover, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Berlin. He also designed the Sirio (12 pitch) and Ulm (10 pitch) typefaces used by Olivetti typewriters.

A 2017 German postage stamp honouring "Design from Germany" features Lindinger and his design for the Stuttgart light rail cars.

In 2022, a German court ruled that Lindinger's design of the fabric used for the seat covers of the city’s public transport system was protected by copyright. As a result, the public transportation company BVG was temporarily barred from selling products and merchandise (including tea towels to sneakers) using the popular design. Bloomberg noted that "the fight reveals how passionate people can get about public transit seat covers – designs that many of us see every day, but which very often fall far outside the boundaries of conventional good taste." A settlement was later reached.

North Bank tunnel. The North Bank tunnel concept was a hydroelectric scheme being developed by Meridian Energy on the Waitaki River in Canterbury, New Zealand. The $993 million project was expected to produce an additional  per annum, and take up to  of water from Lake Waitaki.  The project would have resulted in a  per annum reduction in output from the Waitaki hydro station.

Discovery of geological faultlines prompted a rethink of the project, including consideration of using a canal instead of a tunnel.

Work on the project was suspended in January 2013 due to a forecast of flat demand for electricity for the next five years. Resource consents for the scheme lapsed in 2016.

This project is at a similar location to Project Aqua, a hydroelectric power proposal abandoned by Meridian in 2004.

Resource consent process 
In December 2008, Environment Canterbury granted water use consents for this project.  Appeals against this decision were made by Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi Tahu Fishers People Inc, the Lower Waitaki River Management Society and Black Point farmer Garth Dovey.  The appeal hearings were held in the Environment Court during June and July 2009, with water rights being granted in September 2009.

Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve. Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve (SMR) is a marine protected area located at the northern edge of Santa Cruz, California, approximately  south of San Francisco. The SMR covers .  The SMR protects all marine life within its boundaries. Fishing or other removal of any living marine resource is prohibited.

History
The California Department of Fish and Game established the Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve in September 2007. It was one of 29 marine protected areas adopted during the first phase of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative (MLPAI), a collaborative public process to create a statewide network of marine protected areas along the California coastline.

Geography and natural features
Natural Bridges SMR is adjacent to Natural Bridges State Beach and Wilder Ranch State Park.

The marine protected area is bounded by the mean high tide line and a distance of  seaward of mean lower low water between the following two points:
 36° 57.90’ N. lat. 122° 07.65’ W. long.; and
 36° 57.00’ N. lat. 122° 03.50’ W. long.

Habitat and wildlife
Dramatic wave-cut platforms, exposed rocky cliffs, salt marsh, and sandy and rocky shores provide habitat for a wide range of species that inhabit Natural Bridges. These habitats include sandy beach, rocky intertidal, and surfgrass.

Recreation and nearby attractions
Adjacent to the SMR is Natural Bridges State Beach which features tidepools and the Monarch Butterfly Natural Preserve. The Monarch Grove is home to migrating monarch butterflies from mid-October through the end of February.  Docent–led butterfly, tidepool, and nature trail tours are available.

Also adjacent is Wilder Ranch State Park, which has  of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Historic farm buildings have been restored and the park conducts tours and living history demonstrations.

The University of California at Santa Cruz's Long Marine Laboratory and its public aquarium, the Seymour Marine Discovery Center, are also adjacent. Long Marine Laboratory is an oceanside research and educational facility. Limited tours are available.

California's government encourages recreational and educational uses of the ocean and the marine protected areas.   Activities such as kayaking, diving, snorkeling, and swimming are allowed unless otherwise restricted.

Monitoring
As specified by the Marine Life Protection Act, researchers monitor selected marine protected areas along California’s central coast to track their effectiveness and learn more about ocean health. Similar studies in marine protected areas located by the Santa Barbara Channel Islands have detected gradual improvements in fish size and quantity.

DB Class 724. The Class 724 operated by the German national railway, Deutsche Bundesbahn, was a railway department vehicle used for testing  Indusi installations. Only three examples of this class existed.

724 001 

After its retirement on 21 June 1963, having clocked up 1,236,000 kilometres, the Uerdingen railbus VT 95 906, one of the original prototypes of its class, was converted in the repair shop (Ausbesserungswerk or Aw) at Kassel into a test vehicle for Indusi railway installations. Designated as 6205 Wt it began its new duties on 25 February 1964 at Bahnbetriebswerk (Bw) Wuppertal and replaced the measurement draisine previously used for this task. On 1 January 1968 it was given the number 724 001–3. The installation of testing magnets on both sides of the vehicle in 1971 considerably improved its utility, making it possible to test station entry and exit signals in one pass. Number 724 001 was retired on  18 January 1986 at Bw Heidelberg. Since then the vehicle was left by itself for many years and eventually stood in a very dilapidated state in front of Worms locomotive shed. In 2007 the railbus was bought up by the Vulkaneifelbahn and taken away to Gerolstein, where the intention is to restore it in the medium-term.

No. 724 001 is the last existing Uerdingen railbus prototype, the former Class VT 95. 
 Vehicle number: 724 001-3 ex 6205 Wt; VT 95 906 
 Class: 724 
 Manufacturer: Uerdingen 1950 / 56752 
 Conversion: 1968 AW Kassel 
 Length over buffers: 10,650 mm 
 Empty weight: 15 t 
 Top speed: 90 km/h 
 Power: 110 kW

724 002 and 724 003 

Because more and more lines were equipped with Indusi, one vehicle no longer proved sufficient. So in 1972 the retired railbuses, VT 795 144 and 471, were also converted to test vehicles, again at Aw Kassel, and numbered as 724 002-1 and 724 003–9.

Sir Edward Green, 1st Baronet. Sir Edward Green, 1st Baronet (4 March 1831 – 30 March 1923) was an English ironmaster and a Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1885 and 1892.

Green was the son of Edward Green (engineer), a Yorkshire ironmaster who founded E. Green & Son based in Wakefield and patented "Green's Economiser". This was a device for recycling heat from boilers that previously went to waste.

Green was educated at West Riding Proprietary School and in Germany, and became an engineer in his father's business. He served in the 1st West Yorkshire Yeomanry as a lieutenant and later captain. In 1865, he and his wife leased Heath Old Hall, an Elizabethan House near Wakefield which they set about developing and furnishing. In 1877, Green purchased the Snettisham Estate in North West Norfolk, and built a new house, Ken Hill, primarily as a shooting lodge. Green became a director of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and was a JP for the West Riding of Yorkshire and for Norfolk. Between 1874 and 1878, Green was a Governor of Wakefield Grammar School.
      
In the 1874 general election, Green was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Wakefield, but he was unseated on petition. In 1880, he stood in Pontefract, but was not elected. He returned to Wakefield at a by-election in July 1885, and won the seat, holding it until he stood down from the House of Commons at the 1892 general election. On 5 March 1886, he was created a Baronet 'of Wakefield and Ken Hill'.

Green married Mary Lycett , daughter of William Edward Lycett
of Bowdon, Cheshire in 1859, introducing the name Lycett into the family. Lady Green died in King's Lynn on 7 November 1902, in her 67th year. Their eldest son Edward Lycett Green achieved a certain amount of notoriety as he was involved in the Royal Baccarat Scandal in 1890. Edward succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father.

His great-grandson is the fashion designer Rupert Lycett Green.

Sonotrode. In ultrasonic machining, welding and mixing, a sonotrode is a tool that creates ultrasonic vibrations and applies this vibrational energy to a gas, liquid, solid or tissue.

A sonotrode usually consists of a stack of piezoelectric transducers attached to a tapering metal rod. The end of the rod is applied to the working material.  An alternating current oscillating at ultrasonic frequency is applied by a separate power supply unit to the piezoelectric transducers. The current causes them to expand and contract.  The frequency of the current is chosen to be the resonant frequency of the tool, so the entire sonotrode acts as a half-wavelength resonator, vibrating lengthwise with standing waves at its resonant frequency. The standard frequencies used with ultrasonic sonotrodes range from 20 kHz to 70 kHz.     The amplitude of the vibration is small, about 13 to 130 micrometres.

Sonotrodes are made of titanium, aluminium or steel, with or without heat treatment (carbide). The shape of the sonotrode (round, square, with teeth, profiled ...), depends on the quantity of vibratory energy and a physical constraint for a specific application. Its shape must be optimized for the particular application.

Sonotrodes of small diameter are sometimes called probes.

For an ultrasonic welding or cutting application, the sonotrode gives energy directly to the welding contact area, with little diffraction. This is particularly helpful when vibrations (wave propagation) could damage surrounding electronic components.

Technical Specifications for Interoperability. A Technical Specification for Interoperability (abbreviated as TSI) is a text provided for in European Directive 2016/797 adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the interoperability of the European rail system in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure.

This directive stipulates that the railway system is divided into 8 subsystems:
 infrastructure
 Traction energy
 control command and the trackside signalling
 control command and the on-board signalling
 rolling stock
 Traffic operation and management
 Maintenance
Telematic applications for passenger and freight services.

It also provides that a technical specification for interoperability (TSI) is drawn up for each subsystem.

These TSIs define the essential requirements of the above-mentioned European directives for specific cases and define a set of technical requirements that apply to new subsystems put into service.

These requirements constitute a set of conditions necessary for putting into service, but these conditions are generally not sufficient to guarantee safety, so they must be supplemented by some additional measures. They do not cover all the fields of the regulatory requirements, but for the fields they cover, they prevail over the national texts.

Legal basis
When the first TSIs were published, they still had separate legal bases: one for the interoperability of the high-speed rail system (European Community Directive 96/48/EC) and one for the interoperability of the conventional rail system (European Community Directive 2001/16/EC).

The matters covered by these two directives have been merged and regrouped in the European Community Directive 2008/57/EC, which in turn has been taken over by the European Union Directive 2016/797/EU.

Directive 2008/57/EC was repealed as of 16 June 2020, by which time the new Directive 2016/797/EU had to be transposed into national law.

Drafting and approval 
TSIs are drafted by the European Union Agency for Railways on a mandate from the European Commission. The working group set up includes members of the national safety authorities and members of organizations representing the sector.

Once completed, they are submitted to the European Union Member States Committee for its opinion before being decided by the Commission. They are then translated into the official Languages of the European Union before being notified to the Member States.

Transposition into French law 
The Interoperability Directive is transposed into French law by Decree 2019-525. 

TSIs adopted in the form of a decision by the commission are systematically transposed by decrees (more precisely by the decree of 19 March 2012). TSIs adopted as regulations by the commission are directly applicable by all.

4-Methylpyridine. 4-Methylpyridine is the organic compound with the formula CH3C5H4N. It is one of the three isomers of methylpyridine. This pungent liquid is a building block for the synthesis of other heterocyclic compounds.  Its conjugate acid, the 4-methylpyridinium ion, has a pKa of 5.98, about 0.7 units above that of pyridine itself.

Production and uses
4-Methylpyridine is both isolated from coal tar and is synthesized industrially.  It forms via the reaction of acetaldehyde and ammonia in the presence of an oxide catalyst.  The method also affords some 2-methylpyridine.

4-Methylpyridine is of little intrinsic value but is a precursor to other commercially significant species, often of medicinal interest. For example, ammoxidation of 4-methylpyridine gives 4-cyanopyridine, the precursor to a variety of other derivatives such as the antituberculosis drug isoniazid.

Toxicity
Like most alkylpyridines, the LD50 of 4-methylpyridine is modest, being 1290 mg/kg (oral, rat).
