Service provider (SAML). A SAML service provider is a system entity that receives and accepts authentication assertions in conjunction with a single sign-on (SSO) profile of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).

In the SAML domain model, a SAML relying party is any system entity that receives and accepts information from another system entity. Of particular interest is a SAML relying party that receives and accepts a SAML assertion issued by a SAML authority.

An important type of SAML authority is the SAML identity provider, a system entity that issues authentication assertions in conjunction with an SSO profile of SAML. A relying party that consumes such assertions is called a SAML service provider (or simply service provider if the domain is understood). Thus a SAML service provider is a system entity that receives and accepts an authentication assertion issued by a SAML identity provider.

Rothera Air Facility. Rothera Air Facility  is an airfield serving Rothera Research Station, the British Antarctic Survey logistics centre for the Antarctic and home of well-equipped biological laboratories and facilities for a wide range of research. The station is situated on a rock and raised beach promontory at the southern extremity of Wormald Ice Piedmont, south-eastern Adelaide Island.

The station has a  crushed rock runway, with an associated hangar and bulk fuel storage facility, and a wharf for the discharge of cargo from supply ships. There is a transitory summer population of scientists and support staff who reach Rothera either by ship or through use of a De Havilland Canada Dash 7 aircraft flying from the Falkland Islands.

From its inception until the 1991/1992 summer season BAS Twin Otter aircraft used the skiway  above the station on Wormald Ice Piedmont. With the commissioning of the gravel runway and hangar in 1991/1992 air operations became more reliable and access to Rothera was greatly improved through a direct airlink from the Falkland Islands. The Twin Otters mainly fly south of Rothera, via a network of fuel depots, most of which are staffed. Heading south of Rothera, the first stop would be Fossil Bluff, then Sky Blu.

The Dash 7 will make approximately 20 flights a season to Stanley during the summer, bringing in scientists, support staff, food and equipment. When not tasked for these flights, the Dash can fly to Sky Blu in one hop, landing on the Blue Ice runway, significantly enhancing the range of the Twin Otters by depositing fuel and equipment in much larger quantities.

Blohm & Voss BV 950. The Blohm & Voss BV 950 was an anti-shipping air-launched glide torpedo developed in two variants, the L10 Friedensengel and L11 Schneewittchen.

Although several hundreds were manufactured during development and trials conducted, neither type entered service.

Design
The device comprised a small upper body with wings and tail, clamped on top of an air-launched torpedo.

In operation, it was dropped by an attacking aircraft from a safe altitude and distance, gliding down towards the target vessel and, as it approached the target, a timed fuse opened a small parachute which was attached to the glider body. It continued down and impacted the water a short distance from the target. When the torpedo met the surface of the water, the glider body automatically detached and was pulled back out of the way by the parachute, while the torpedo motor started and drove it to impact its target.

The L 10 was designed for a propeller powered aircraft cruising at around . The L 11 was developed for launch aircraft speeds up to .

L 10 Friedensengel
Development of the L10 Friedensengel (Angel of Peace) began in 1942.

The main launch aircraft for the L 10 were the Heinkel He 111 and the Junkers Ju 88.

The L 10 was put into production and many hundreds built, but was eventually cancelled before it could be used operationally.

L 11 Schneewittchen
The L 11 Schneewittchen (Snow White) was designed to be launched from the Arado Ar 234. This required a much higher airspeed than the L 10, so an additional braking parachute was deployed immediately after launch, to slow it down to its target approach speed.

It had the same wing span as the L 10 but was shorter, at .

The L 11 was also put into production but cancelled in December 1944. It was never used operationally.

Paul W. Kiefer. Paul Walter Kiefer (February 13, 1888 – September 2, 1968) was an American mechanical engineer, locomotive designer, chief engineer at New York Central Railroad, and inventor, who was awarded the 1947 ASME Medal.

Biography
Kiefer was born in Delaware, Ohio as son of Jacob Kiefer and Lena (Maler) Kiefer. After attending public schools in Delaware and Glenville, Ohio, he started his career in industry. He continued his studies at night schools at the Cleveland Institute of Art and in New York, where he studied locomotive and car design. 

Kiefer made his career in the railway industry, and became chief engineer at New York Central Railroad. Kiefer designed several locomotives, including the Hudson, later Mohawk designs, Niagara and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad’s berkshires. He retired as chief engineer of equipment from the New York Central System in 1953. In 1946 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Mechanical Engineer, and in 1947 the ASME awarded him the annual ASME Medal.

Invincible D-D. The Invincible D-D was a prototype three/four seat touring aircraft, built in the US in 1929. One example flew but development was ended by the Great Depression.

Design and development

The D-D was a mid-wing monoplane with a rectangular plan, blunt tipped, constant thickness wing. Canvas covered, it was built around a pair of wooden spars that continued through the fuselage with the pilot's seat between them. Dihedral was 1.25°. Constant chord ailerons filled the outer two-thirds of the trailing edge. The wings were braced with steel V-struts, individually enclosed in wooden fairings, from the two wing spars to a framework under the fuselage where their vertices were transversely joined by a horizontal steel bar.

The Invincible was designed to accept two engines of significantly different power and cost. These were the  LeBlond 90-7D, a seven-cylinder radial engine or the  Curtiss Challenger, a six-cylinder, two row radial. The Challenger-powered version could carry four, one more than that with the Leblond engine, but cost $7,800 rather than $5,500.  The chosen engine was mounted in the nose with cylinders largely exposed for cooling; the mounting allowed easy interchange between the two types.  Fuel tanks were in the wings.

Behind the engine the Invincible's fuselage had a steel tube, rectangular-section structure with fabric covering.  The enclosed cabin had, in the four-seater, two rows of side-by-side seats, optional dual control and generous forward, side and upward glazing. Entry was via an oval port-side door.

Its tailplane, triangular in plan, was mounted on top of the fuselage and carried separate, parallel chord elevators. It was wire-braced from above and below to the rudder post of a quadrantal profile fin which carried a constant chord rudder, reaching down to the keel.

The Invincible's fixed, tailwheel landing gear had mainwheels independently mounted on cranked half-axles hinged at the centre of the fuselage underside. Their outer ends were joined to the fuselage sides by inward-leaning pneumatic shock absorber struts and to the ends of the horizontal bar of the wing struttage by short drag struts.

Its first flight was in late January-early February 1929 at Manitowoc, powered by the LeBlond engine and piloted by William Williams, with its designer, Irl Beach, as a passenger. It was scheduled to appear at the Detroit air show that April.  Invincible, having entered into aviation in 1928 and produced three or four different prototypes, left the industry in 1929 because of the Great Depression.

Fred L. Dornbrook. Frederick L. Dornbrook (April 4, 1875 – May 17, 1967) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor, who was chief engineer of the Power Plants of the Wisconsin Electric Power Company, now part of WEC Energy Group. He was especially known as pioneer in the use of pulverized coal, and in 1949 was awarded the ASME Medal.

Dornbrook was born in Wisconsin as son of John Dornbrook and Henrietta (Schultz) Dornbrook. After regular education, he started his lifelong career at the Wisconsin Electric Power Company, where he worked for five decades at  its Power Plant department. He worked his way up from coal passer, fireman, oiler and assistant engineer to chief engineer of operation. Eventually he was appointed superintendent of power plants and chief engineer of power plants—Wisconsin Electric Power Company.

In 1948 the University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Engineering awarded him a Distinguished Service Award. In 1949 the ASME awarded him the ASME Medal.
