Nuclear Data, Inc.. Nuclear Data Incorporated was a manufacturer of scientific measuring devices for high energy physics laboratories.  Application areas included X-ray analysis and radiation monitoring.  In the 1960s, they built minicomputers to automate their laboratory devices, such as the ND 812.  Over time, they replaced these custom designed computers with DEC LSI-11 minicomputers with custom peripherals.  Their headquarters were located in Schaumburg, Illinois.

In May, 1973, Bunker Ramo acquired the Electronic Store Information Systems Division of Nuclear Data for $3.2 million in cash.  The sale included a point of sale terminal business.

On July 5, 1989, the company formally changed its name to Metropolitan Circuits, Inc., after having divested most of their business to other companies.

Design for verification. Design for verification (DfV) is a set of engineering guidelines to aid designers in ensuring right first time manufacturing and assembly of large-scale components. The guidelines were developed as a tool to inform and direct designers during early stage design phases to trade off estimated measurement uncertainty against tolerance, cost, assembly, measurability and product requirements.

Background 
Increased competition in the aerospace market has placed additional demands on aerospace manufacturers to reduce costs, increase product flexibility and improve manufacturing efficiency. There is a knowledge gap within the sphere of digital to physical dimensional verification and on how to successfully achieve dimensional specifications within real-world assembly factories that are subject to varying environmental conditions. 

The DfV framework is an engineering principle to be used within low rate and high value and complexity manufacturing industries to aid in achieving high productivity in assembly via the effective dimensional verification of large volume structures, during final assembly. The DfV framework has been developed to enable engineers to design and plan the effective dimensional verification of large volume, complex structures in order to reduce failure rates and end-product costs, improve process integrity and efficiency, optimise metrology processes, decrease tooling redundancy and increase product quality and conformance to specification. The theoretical elements of the DfV methods were published in 2016, together with their testing using industrial case studies of representative complexity. The industrial tests published on ScienceDirect proved that by using the new design for verification methods alongside the traditional ‘design for X’ toolbox, the resultant process achieved improved tolerance analysis and synthesis, optimized large volume metrology and assembly processes and more cost-effective tool and jig design.

MTR CRRC Changchun EMU. The MTR CRRC Changchun EMU (also known as the TML C-train) is a model of heavy rail electric multiple units of the Mass Transit Railway in Hong Kong. The 8-car sets are manufactured by Changchun Railway Vehicles for the East West Corridor (Tuen Ma Line), to operate alongside extended SP1900 sets (1151) from the West Rail line. They are currently in service on the Tuen Ma line.

Description

Nicknamed the "pseudo-SP1900", the exterior appearance of the TML C-train is similar to that of the SP1900, with the most notable differences being located at the cab ends. It is painted in the same livery as the R-trains on the East Rail line, the S-trains on the South Island line, and the Q-trains on the urban lines. The latter two were manufactured by the same company.

The interior layout of the trains has been updated, presenting a refreshed version of the SP1900 design. Notable enhancements include the addition of a new dynamic route map display positioned above the doorways. In terms of seating arrangement, the trains now feature rows of three seats between each doorway, contrasting the four-seat configuration found in the SP1900. At the ends of the carriage, two rows of five seats are still present. Another change is the installation of  LCD TVs, replacing the  TVs found in the SP1900. While the electrical equipment and propulsion systems resemble those found in the R-Trains for the East Rail line, there are differences between the two.

The stock bid (number 1141A) was won by China CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Corporation Limited in December 2013, at a cost of $1.38 billion Hong Kong Dollars. The order was initially for 14 8-car trains, however this was bumped up to 17 8-car trains. This is likely due to the Tuen Mun South extension (still under planning at the time). The first of this train set joined service on the Ma On Shan line in March 2017 and joined service on the West Rail line in March 2020. All 17 trains are running on the whole Tuen Ma line, which fully opened on 27 June 2021.

Gunnar Ljungström. Gunnar Ljungström (1905-1999) was a Swedish engineer and technical designer, specialised in aerodynamics and automobile industry, pioneering the early history of the Swedish car brand SAAB.

Biography

Gunnar Ljungström was the born in 1905 as son of the industrialist Fredrik Ljungström. After examination from Whitlockska samskolan, he was admitted to studies in mechanics at the Royal Institute of Technology. While there he was elected President of the Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology, active the constructions of its new student center facilities Nymble in 1930 at the site of the new campus in Stockholm.

Furthermore, he was an avid sailor among other sports, also winning an academic gold medal in Sweden in pole vault. He also pioneered water skiing in Sweden in 1929, culminating in introducing the new sport in slalom moves to the Swedish public at the 100th anniversary of the Royal Swedish Yacht Club in Sandhamn in 1930.

Graduating as engineer in 1932, he participated in the family's steam turbine and other projects, including on transmission technology for cars.

After engagement in family-related businesses and extensive stays abroad, in 1936, Gunnar Ljungström returned to Sweden, deciding to help out with its aviation industry in light of the turbulent affairs on the continent. At Saab, he made extensive contributions in both aerodynamics, and engines during wartime.

After the aviation contributions, post war, he was designated head of Saab Automobile's development team of the company's first automobiles from the 1940s on, with technology based on their aerodynamics design. He would proceed from the release of the Ursaab in 1949 until the 1966 Saab 99, presented for the public in 1967, a couple of years prior to his retirement.

HydroCAD. HydroCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) program used by civil engineers for modeling the hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) of stormwater runoff. Its use as a tool has grown in the U.S. as rules for managing stormwater have become more stringent. Specifically, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), last updated in December 2016, regulates point source pollution by municipal governments, industrial facilities and agricultural facilities. The NPDES was introduced in 1972 as part of the Clean Water Act, and is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in partnership with state environmental agencies.

H&H software such as HydroCAD is important in the implementation of the Low-Impact Development approach to stormwater management that is gaining popularity throughout the U.S. and Canada.

History 

The company was founded in 1977 as Applied Microcomputer Systems (AMS), initially developing custom software for technical and scientific applications. In the early years of personal computers, AMS produced various other programming tools for technical professionals.

In 1985, AMS began development of the HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling System as a response to growing hydrology requirements facing civil engineers. The program, ultimately introduced in 1986 for HP workstations, made it possible to conduct complex calculations on desktop computers rather than only on mainframes. It also added new graphical interfaces to improve ease of use.

In 2001, the HydroCAD software was re-written as a native Windows application, using Borland's Delphi programming environment, and released as HydroCAD 6.0.

In 2004, the company officially changed its name to “HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC”.  Its headquarters office is on Chocorua Mountain Highway (also known as Route 16) in the town of Tamworth, New Hampshire.

The latest HydroCAD version 10.2 was released in May 2022.  Future updates are expected approximately twice a year, allowing HydroCAD to stay current with the ever-expanding market of stormwater storage products (chambers) and flow control devices.

Raye Montague. Raye Jean Montague (née Jordan; January 21, 1935 – October 10, 2018) was an American naval engineer credited with creating the first computer-generated rough draft of a U.S. naval ship. She was the first female program manager of ships in the United States Navy.

Early life and education 
Raye Jordan was born on January 21, 1935, to Rayford Jordan and Flossie Graves Jordan in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was inspired to pursue engineering after seeing a "midget" submarine, possibly the HA. 19, as a traveling exhibit that came to Little Rock.

She recalled, “My grandfather took me downtown to see that submarine and I was able to go down a little ladder into that sub. It was like a tin can. That was my first introduction to ships. You just never know what inspires a person.”

She graduated from Merrill High School in 1952.  For college, she attended Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical & Normal College (now University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff) and graduated in 1956 with a bachelor of science degree in business. At the time, the engineering program at the University of Arkansas did not admit African-American students.

Career 

Montague joined the United States Navy in 1956 in Washington, D.C., as a clerk typist. At work, she sat next to a 1950s UNIVAC I computer, watching the engineers operate it until one day, when all the engineers were sick, she jumped in to run the machine. She took computer programming at night school while continuing to work and learn the job. She was appointed as a computer systems analyst at the Naval Ship Engineering Center, and later served as the program director for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Integrated Design, Manufacturing, and Maintenance Program, the division head for the Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Program, and deputy program manager of the Navy's Information Systems Improvement Program.

In 1971, her department was allotted one month to create a computer-generated ship design.  By modifying existing automated systems, Montague produced the initial draft for the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate in about 19 hours.  With this accomplishment, she became the first person to design a ship using a computer system.  She later worked on ships such as the Seawolf-class submarine and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier .  Montague retired in 1990.

Montague died of congestive heart failure on October 10, 2018, at Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock.
