KPIT Technologies. KPIT Technologies Limited is an Indian multinational corporation which provides engineering research and development (ER&D) services to automotive companies. The company is headquartered in Pune and has development centers in Europe, USA, Japan, and China, apart from India.

KPIT has filed 58 patents, published some research papers, and has won several awards for innovation.

History 
KPIT was co-founded in 1990 by Ravi Pandit and Kishor Patil, as KPIT Infosystems. Both of them are chartered accountants by profession, and they were partners in an accountancy firm, Kirtane & Pandit Chartered Accountants (KPCA). The company made its initial public offer (IPO) in 1999, which was 50 times oversubscribed.

In 2002, Cummins Infotech, the IT department of Cummins merged with KPIT, and the name of the company became KPIT Cummins Infosystems Ltd.

KPIT Cummins Infosystems changed its name to "KPIT Technologies Limited" in September 2013. This was in line with Cummins' decision to reduce its shareholding in KPIT, to focus on its core business of engine and generator manufacturing.

In January 2018, Birlasoft, an IT company, and KPIT announced their merger, with plans to immediately split into two new companies.  In April 2018, this deal was approved by the Competition Commission of India. Following the corporate spin-off, one company focused on IT and the other on automotive was formed. The IT company operated under the name Birlasoft, and the automotive company operated under the name KPIT Technologies. According to the original plan, the shareholders of Birlasoft received 22 shares of the combined company for every 9 shares they held in Birlasoft, while the shareholders of KPIT Technologies received 1 share of the new KPIT Technologies company for every share they held in KPIT Technologies. 

In an interview, Ravi Pandit, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of KPIT Technologies, commented upon this deal, "Segregating business IT and automotive tech businesses will provide sharper focus on each business." On 22 April 2019, KPIT Technologies Limited got listed on BSE and NSE. The transaction resulted in two publicly traded specialized technology companies – KPIT Technologies and Birlasoft.

On 6 June 2019, KPIT launched its new corporate logo.

Eagle's Perch. The Eagle's Perch was an American helicopter that was designed by the Nolan brothers and produced by Eagle's Perch Inc. of Carrollton, Virginia. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The design was intended to be a simplified helicopter. Constructed by two brothers with no prior aeronautical experience or skills it employed a unique coaxial, counter-rotating, fixed pitch rotor system with no collective control, but employed a rudder. To account for the fact that the aircraft could not autorotate after a power failure, it was equipped with two engines and could hover on either one. A ballistic parachute was optional.

The Eagle's Perch was designed to comply with the US Experimental - Amateur-built aircraft rules. The aircraft had a standard empty weight of . It featured two coaxial main rotors, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, skid-type landing gear and two twin-cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition  Hirth 2706 engines.

The aircraft fuselage was made from welded steel tubing. Its  diameter two-bladed rotors were of a fixed pitch design. The aircraft had an empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload for pilot and baggage was .

The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit to be 240 hours.

The design was later developed into the Phoenix Skyblazer.

Operational history
The design won Grand Champion Helicopter at the Popular Rotorcraft Association convention in 1994.

By July 2014 no examples remained registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration and it is unlikely any exist today, although one, the prototype, had been registered at one time.

Civil Aviation Department BS-1 Bharani. The Civil Aviation Department BS-1 Bharani was a tandem seat trainer glider designed and built in India in the early 1960s.

Design and development
Several Civil Aviation Department aircraft were named after divisions (nakshatra) of the zodiac used in Hindu astrology; Bharani (भरणी) is one of these, literally meaning "the bearer". The glider named after it was a wood-framed aircraft, covered with fabric and plywood. It had a high cantilever wing with a single spar, ahead of which ply covering formed a torsion resisting box.  Behind the spar it was fabric covered. The leading edge was straight and unswept but forward sweep on the trailing edge both tapered the wing in plan and resulted in a forward sweep of 1° at the spar.  The wing had 1° of dihedral, wooden plain ailerons and wooden air brakes which opened above and below the wing.

The fuselage was a wood framed, ply covered semi-monocoque.  The tandem cockpit was ahead of the wing under a two piece canopy which merged into the upper wing, assisted by a small transparency in the leading edge to improve upward vision from the rear seat.  The forward part hinged sideways and the aft part rearwards. It had dual controls and instrumentation; oxygen supplies could be fitted if necessary. The tail unit had a straight edged, ply covered fin with a full, rounded, fabric covered rudder. Apart from some ply covering on the inner part of the tailplane the horizontal surfaces were also fabric covered. The leading edge of the straight tapered tailplane was well ahead of that of the fin.

The undercarriage was a fixed single monowheel, without a brake but assisted by a rubber-sprung nose skid which had a steel underside that could be replaced if damaged. There was also a small tail skid which was sprung with tennis balls.

The first flight was on 6 April 1962.  No Civil Aviation Technical School designs were produced by them, though some were produced by external companies provided with full plans by the School.  No production of the Bharani had been reported by late 1963.

Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space. Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space is a space flight simulator game designed by Steve Kitchen for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1983. It is one of the first realistic spacecraft simulations available for home systems.  Space Shuttle was adapted to the Atari 8-bit computers and Atari 5200  by Bob Henderson (1984), then ported to the ZX Spectrum (1984), Commodore 64 (1984), Amstrad CPC (1986), and MSX (1986). The 1984 Activision Software catalog also mentions an Apple II version.

The player controls the most critical flight phases of the Space Shuttle such as launch, stabilizing orbit, docking, deorbit burn, reentry, and landing, each with its own set of instructions to follow. The original Atari 2600 version came with an overlay since it made use of all the switches.

Reception
In an April 1984 review for Video Games magazine, Dan Persons wrote:
Space Shuttle is not a game for everybody. It requires a considerable amount of patience and, perhaps not too surprisingly, a considerable amount of brainpower. Players who seek the visceral thrills of the standard shoot'em-up may ultimately find this simulation's complexity frustrating. But those of you who are ready for a richer, more sophisticated experience will probably recognize Space Shuttle for the monumental achievement it is.

Magnetic resonance velocimetry. Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) is an experimental method to obtain velocity fields in fluid mechanics. MRV is based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance and adapts a medical magnetic resonance imaging system for the analysis of technical flows. The velocities are usually obtained by phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging techniques. This means velocities are calculated from phase differences in the image data that has been produced using special gradient techniques. MRV can be applied using common medical MRI scanners. The term magnetic resonance velocimetry became current due to the increasing use of MR technology for the measurement of technical flows in engineering.

Applications
In engineering MRV can be applied to the following areas:
Analysis of technical flows in complex geometries (separation, recirculation zones)
Validation of numerical simulations in computational fluid dynamics using 3D velocity fields
Iterative design of complex inner flow channels (combined with rapid prototyping)
Measurement of concentration distributions in mixing processes
Analysis of flow through porous media
Interaction of immiscible fluids

Advantages and limitations
In contrast to other non-invasive velocimetry methods such as PIV or LDA, no optical access is required. Besides, no particles have to be added to the fluid. Thus, MRV enables to analyze the complete flow field in complex geometries and components.
Based on the fact that common MR scanners are designed to detect the nuclear magnetic resonance of hydrogen protons, the tested applications are limited to water flows. Common fluid mechanical scaling concepts compensate this limitation. To achieve the spatial resolution, single data acquisition steps have to be repeated a great number of times with slight variations. Thus, MRV technology is limited to steady or periodical flows.
