Enghien Moisselles Airfield. Enghien Moisselles Airfield is located in the communes of Moisselles, Attainville and Ézanville. It is used for the practice of light aviation, ultralight aviation and model aircraft.

History
In 1931, the commune of Enghien-les-Bains, with the flying club "Les Ailerons", created the "André Chalaux" gliding school with four gliders, in the commune of Moisselles. In 1933, with the development of light aviation, the "Ailes Enghiennoises" association acquired 25 hectares in Moisselles and neighboring communes of Attainville, Ezanville to establish the Enghien-Moisselles airfield. The purchase was subsidised by the state which provided 50% of the budget for land and development. The field opened in 1934-1935 and its operation was entrusted to the Aéroclub de Royan. Two hangars were built (one for planes and one for gliders), as well as a garage and a clubhouse.

In 1949, Jean Michel Vernhes became president of the "Les Ailerons" flying club, remaining so until 1971. In 1959, the Enghien-Moisselles airfield acquired the status of "light and sporting aviation airfield". Since the construction of Charles de Gaulle Airport, the airfield has been put into restricted use.

In 2017, runway 16/34 was removed; only 07/25 remains.

Cornelius Whitehouse. Cornelius Whitehouse (22 July 1795 – 7 August 1883) was an English engineer, businessman and inventor of a method of manufacturing tubes cheaply and accurately.

Life
Whitehouse was born in Oldbury (now in West Midlands), son of Edward Whitehouse, a sword manufacturer. Demand for swords was high during the Napoleonic Wars, but later declined. He gave up the craft he learned from his father and moved to Wednesbury, where he worked in the forge works of Edward Elwell.

At that time there was a demand for gas pipes for street lighting. Tubes were made by heating a strip of iron (a skelp), the sides of which were overlapped and hammered to form a weld. Whitehouse in 1824 and 1825 developed a less labour-intensive method, in which a strip, drawn from the furnace by a chain, passed through a pair of semi-circular dies. Longer lengths of tube could be made, and the dies produced an accurately-shaped tube; the cost of production was reduced.

With James Russell
With the help of James Russell, a tube manufacturer in Wednesbury, Whitehouse was granted a patent for his invention on 26 February 1825. An obituarist wrote in 1883 in The Engineer: "The invention was of the greatest importance, and may be said to have laid the foundation of the welded tube trade."

An arrangement was made by which Russell employed Whitehouse, who received an annuity for the life of the patent, and a house, the patent rights being eventually assigned to Russell. Russell built a new factory, and tubes were produced in large numbers. There was litigation by Whitehouse and Russell when a method was patented in which tubes were welded by drawing them through grooved rollers: this was eventually decided by the courts to be an infringement of Whitehouse's patent. The affair lasted many years, and legal costs were high.

Later career
Whitehouse left Russell's company, and established in 1845 the Globe Works in Wednesbury, manufacturing tubes. He took out a patent in 1845 for the construction of welding and hammering machines for making tubes and gun barrels. The business did not thrive, and it eventually closed in the depression that began in the 1870s. Meanwhile a business partnership with Edwin Dixon, who had a tube factory in Wolverhampton, was not successful.

He married three times, and had two sons and three daughters. His nephew John Brotherton founded a successful tube manufacturing business and became Mayor of Wolverhampton. Whitehouse died in 1883, at the home of his son Denham Whitehouse in Wolverhampton, where he was living. The obituarist in The Engineer commented: "... the benefits Mr Whitehouse conferred upon all countries through his invention did not leave his latter days with such substantial means as the importance of the industry he created ought to have afforded him."

Radar, Anti-Aircraft No. 4 Mk. 7. Radar, Anti-Aircraft Number 4 Mark 7, or AA No.4 Mk.7 for short, was a mobile medium-range tactical control radar used by the British Army. It was intended to rapidly scan the sky and quickly indicate targets that could then be handed off to anti-aircraft artillery batteries who would then aim their own gun laying radars like the AA No. 3 Mk. 7 using the image provided from the No. 4 on a remote Adjacent Display (AD) unit. The Mk.7/1 added support for IFF Mark X, and the Mk.7/2 was modified for use with surface-to-air missiles.

The system used a unique antenna system designed to be compact and robust. It consisted of a cheese antenna mounted flat on the roof of the operations trailer, and a semi-parabolic reflector in front of it. The cheese produces a signal that is narrow side-to-side, about 5 degrees in this system, but very wide vertically. This signal was then further shaped by the reflector to lessen the vertical angle. The assembly was mounted on a pole that ran through the roof of the trailer and into a bearing on the floor where it was rotated by a motor. For transport, the reflector was folded down on top of the cheese, the assembly moved to center it over the top of the trailer, and then grate-like covers on the sides of the trailer were raised and folded over the top of the antenna system to protect it.

The system was normally operated by a crew of two. Air conditioning was supplied to cool the equipment and the trailer as a whole, with the power and air conditioning systems taking up about half of the trailer and the radar systems the other half. Power was supplied by an external Meadows 27.5 kVA 415/240V three phase 50 Hz generator on a skid that was normally carried in the towing vehicle and then set on the ground during setup. The eight-wheeled trailer massed 10 tons.

Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects. In 1937, the Nebraska State Board of Examiners for Professional Engineers and Architects (currently called the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects) was established to review the qualifications of individuals seeking to practice engineering or architecture in the State of Nebraska and license individuals who were deemed competent. The Board also upholds and updates the Engineers and Architects Regulation Act which governors all laws related to architecture and engineering.

Creation 
By 1937, many states in the United States had already created some kind of architecture of engineering board, with Illinois having the first architecture board in 1897 and Wyoming having the first engineering board in 1907.

As the professions were similar, Nebraska decided to combine them in one board. Robert Leroy Cochran, governor of Nebraska at the time, signed the Engineers and Architects Regulation Act into law. Cochran himself was an engineer and became the first licensed engineer in Nebraska.

The first board meeting was May 25, 1937, and consisted of five members: William L. Steele (architect), Charles Steinbaugh (architect), David Erickson (engineer), Roy Green (engineer), and Albert Turner (engineer).

Current Board 
After several law changes over the decades, the board is now composed of eight members: one member of the public (not licensed as an architect or professional engineer), three architects, and four professional engineers. Architects and professional engineers must be licensed in the state of Nebraska. One architect and one professional engineer must be active faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Each member of the Board will hold a five-year term and are selected, or reappointed by the current governor.

Indium(III) iodide. Indium(III) iodide or indium triiodide is a chemical compound of indium and iodine with the formula InI3.

Preparation 

Indium(III) iodide can be obtained by reacting indium with iodine vapor:

Indium(III) iodide can also be obtained by evaporation of a solution of indium in HI.

Properties 

Indium(III) iodide is a pale yellow, very hygroscopic monoclinic solid (space group P21/c (space group no. 14), a = 9.837 Å, b = 6.102 Å, c = 12.195 Å, β = 107.69°), which melts at 210 °C to form a dark brown liquid and is highly soluble in water. Its crystals consist of dimeric molecules. The yellow β form slowly converts to the red α form. In the presence of water vapor, the compound reacts with oxygen at 245 °C to form indium(III) oxide iodide.

Distinct yellow and red forms are known. The red form undergoes a transition to the yellow at 57 °C. The structure of the red form has not been determined by X-ray crystallography; however, spectroscopic evidence indicates that indium may be six coordinate. The yellow form consists of In2I6 with 4 coordinate indium centres.

Puketoi Wind Farm. The Puketoi Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm project in the Tararua District of New Zealand. The project is planned by Mercury Energy.

History
Mercury Energy (then known as Mighty River Power) applied for resource consent for the project in August 2011. Consent for 53 turbines and a transmission line was granted in June 2012. Three appeals against the project were withdrawn in June 2013. Mighty River said they did not expect to begin construction for three to five years. The consent lapses in 2023.

In March 2019 Mercury announced that development of the nearby Turitea Wind Farm would  support the future development of Puketoi. In March 2021 Mercury had no estimated completion date for the project. In March 2023 that the resource consent had been extended until 2031 and that the allowed turbine blade diameter had been increased.

Location
The proposed site is in the Puketoi Ranges, approximately 40km south of Dannevirke. The site will be connected to Mercury's existing Turitea Wind Farm with a 220 kV transmission line.
