Multi-mission Affordable Capacity Effector. The Multi-mission Affordable Capacity Effector (MACE) is a planned U.S. Navy air-launched anti-ship cruise missile intended to focus on cost-effectiveness, extended range and increased lethality. It has been described as essentially a "miniature cruise missile." It is designed as an air-launched weapon with adequate stand-off ranges to enable lethality while minimizing significant survivability risks to manned platforms. It will be launched from the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, F-35A and F-35C, and its intended range and usage will complement the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) currently fielded on the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 and the U.S. Air Force's B-1B platforms. The design requirements state that four All-up Rounds (AURs) should be able to be carried internally on the F-35, in addition to external (pylon) carriage. The Navy is interested in  producing at least 500 missiles per year and would begin fielding an early version in FY2027. The cost per AUR is required to be no greater than $300,000.  Production is also required to utilize digital engineering, WOSA compliance and design for export capability "that results in a modular weapon system capable of integrating alternative seekers, payloads and other subcomponents for different weapons variants as well as affordable upgrades to outpace adversaries without disrupting production throughput." Defense analysts have noted that the MACE request bears similarities to the Air Force's request for the Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM).

Automatic track warning system. Automatic track warning system (ATWS, ) is a technical device used during track construction for occupational safety. It warns the construction site workers of an approaching train. In Germany, it usually consists of a series of signal lights and acoustic warning devices, which are mounted on steel poles or tripods at the edge of the track bed every 30 meters. There are wired and wireless systems that are automatically activated when a train approaches, for example by a wheel contact in the track bed. As long as the ATWS is generating warning signals, the construction site personnel must stay away from the track in question and allow the train to pass. ATWS is considered safer than the non-automated solution, where one worker constantly watches for approaching trains and alerts his colleagues.

Types

There are collective ATWS and individual ATWS. The collective ATWS generates an acoustic signal for a group of workers. The individual ATWS is a wearable device warning every worker individually.

Acoustic warning signals in Germany
Acoustic signals generated by collective ATWS in Germany are defined in the railway signalling regulations:
 A long continuous tone (mixed sound of different high tones) means "Caution! Vehicles are approaching on the neighbouring track"
 Two long tones in succession at different pitches signal "Clear the working track!"
 At least five times two short tones at different pitches signalling "Clear working tracks as quickly as possible!"
After the acoustic signal, the railway workers have 25 seconds to escape from the track.

Noise pollution controversy for collective ATWS
Due to the nature of the system, ATWS is very loud (97 up to 126 dB) so that it can be heard by the track workers to be warned, even in the vicinity of loud working machines and with hearing protection in place. This is a burden for people living near railway tracks during work. Modern systems adapt to the ambient volume (mandatory from 2019) and only warn at full sound pressure in very loud environments. Even at reduced volume, this is still perceived as noise pollution. In 2014 in Stuttgart-Sommerrain, an ATWS was sabotaged by unidentified persons.

Research on wearable devices for personal warning
EU Commission funded the project ALARP (A railway automatic track warning system based on distributed personal mobile terminals) in the years 2010–2013 by the total amount of €3,941,877.20. The aim of the project was to improve the safety of track workers through the development of an innovative ATWS using low-cost, rugged, wireless wearable devices.

Valentina Quiroga. Valentina Karina Quiroga Canahuate (born Viña del Mar, 3 February 1982) is a Chilean civil engineer and politician. She served as Undersecretary of Education (2014–2018) during the second government of President Michelle Bachelet. Since September 2018 she has been director of the Horizonte Ciudadano Foundation, created by Bachelet.

Biography 
She was born the daughter of Víctor Hugo Quiroga Villalón and Yanet Patricia Canahuate Eistrup, both commercial engineers. Valentina Quiroga lived her childhood in Colina and studied at the María Inmaculada de Providencia School, where she was president of the student center. She later entered the civil engineering career with a bachelor's degree earned at the University of Chile. In 2010 she obtained a master's degree in applied economics from the same university, with the thesis The effect of mothers' employment on their children's school performance.

With Mario Waissbluth and others, she was one of the founders of the 2008 movement called Education 2020, for which she served as director of educational policy until 2011. She also served as executive director of the Foundation Public Space.

In 2013 she was in charge of the Education Area of the Government Program for Michelle Bachelet's presidential candidacy. On 4 February 2014, she was appointed as Undersecretary of Education of the elected President Bachelet, replacing Claudia Peirano, who decided not to assume the position when facing questions for her statements against free education and alleged commercial links with private schools.

Quiroga's initial goals as undersecretary included "sending the Educational Reform Bill to Congress, initiating a program to ensure access to higher education for the most vulnerable young people, and signing the first five agreements with universities for the creation of public technical training centers."

Transfluxor. A transfluxor was a specialised type of magnetic core memory element in which each core had two holes, one for writing and another for reading. It had the unusual property that a core's state could be read without erasing it. In addition to binary data, transfluxors could also store analog values, with no need to drive them into core saturation.

The technology is described in U.S. patent 3048828.

Transfluxors were used in the ARMA Micro Computer.

Arma Engineering Company. The Arma Engineering Company was an American military technology manufacturer founded in New York in 1918 by Arthur Davis and David Mahood.

An early product was the U.S. naval Torpedo Data Computer, a special-purpose ship-mounted analog computer for targeting torpedoes, first deployed by the U.S. Navy in 1938.

Another Arma product was a gyrocompass based on technology originally developed by the German company Anschütz. Arma was subsequently sued by Sperry for patent infringement. The dispute was eventually resolved by the U.S. Navy contracting with both companies, with Sperry as principal supplier.

Arma merged with American Bosch in 1949 to become American Bosch Arma.

It released an early minicomputer, the Arma Micro Computer, in 1962.
