Modern Health lawsuit
Penny Herscher led a special litigation committee investigating allegations of theft, plagiarism, kickbacks and fraud in a derivative suit against Modern Health, a company she sat on the board of. Herscher testified that she had maintained an 18-year family friendship with David Berger, Modern Health’s then–defense attorney from Wilson Sonsini, and that he had introduced her to Watson and helped recruit her to the board. As a result, the judge dismissed the company's motions due to the perceived bias of Herscher and the SLC. It was reported that Herscher mocked the plaintiff’s allegation that Modern Health advertised it had Javanese-speaking therapists when it in fact had no such therapists. “Javanese is not a language,” she said. “That’s what’s so bizarre about this.…Java is a computer language, and there is no such language as Javanese.” Javanese is indeed a real language spoken by nearly 100 million people.

Noshiro Thermal Power Station. is a coal-fired thermal power station operated by Tohoku Electric in the city of Noshiro, Akita, Japan. The facility is located on the Sea of Japan coast of Honshu.

History
The Noshiro Thermal Power Station was initially conceived as a countermeasure against possible shortages in power generation which might arise due to issues such as the 1973 oil crisis. Unit 1 began operations in May 1993. Due to issues with carbon emissions, Unit 2 was completed in December 1994 to burn a mixture of heavy oil and biomass (wood chip residue).  Also to improve power generation efficiency, Unit 2 adopted Tohoku Electric's first ultra-supercritical boiler and steam turbine with a main steam temperature of 566 °C, a reheat steam temperature of 593 °C, and a main steam pressure of 24.1 MPa.

The completion of Unit 3 was delayed due to uncertainty in future power demand and economic trends, as well as increased pressure on Japan from overseas to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. However, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami  in March 2011, work was restarted in February 2016 with an estimated completion date by the end of March 2020.

Jackson Hydroelectric Project. The Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project, or Jackson Hydro Project, is an electric power generating project on the Sultan River operated and maintained by the Snohomish County Public Utility District in Washington, co-licensed by the city of Everett, Washington. Beginning operations in 1984, the project aims to bring clean and renewable hydropower to Snohomish county. The facility consists of a single powerhouse, two main generating units, a switch-yard, and transmission lines—all of which are directly connected to the county's local 115 kV power-transmission network. The largest generating station operated by the Snohomish county PUD, the Jackson Hydro powerhouse has a total nameplate capacity of 112 megawatts, enough to power 53,200 homes, and accounts for 7 percent of the Snohomish county PUD's total power needs. The vast remainder of the Snohomish county PUD's power comes from the Chief Joseph Dam, located in eastern Washington, through long-term contracts with the Bonneville Power Administration.

Construction
The Jackson Hydroelectric Project was constructed in two phases, the first of which was completed in 1965 with the construction of the Culmback Dam, creating Spada lake—the water supply for the Jackson Hydro Project. The second phase was completed in 1984, when the Culmback dam was raised an additional 62 feet, quadrupling the water capacity of Spada lake. The Spada lake reservoir currently covers 1,870 acres, with a maximum normal elevation of 1,450 feet. The majority of Spada lake's shores are accessible through hike-in access only.

HC85 series. The  is a diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) train type built by Nippon Sharyo for use on limited express services operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). Intended to replace the KiHa 85 series, a prototype trainset was completed in late 2019, with a full-production fleet first materializing in 2022. The fleet was first introduced into service on 1 July 2022 on the Takayama Main Line.

Design 
The first set was manufactured by Nippon Sharyo at its Toyokawa facility. JR Central calls it a "hybrid car", due to the train having electric motors and battery packs, in addition to power supplied by an onboard diesel generator. This hybrid-diesel power system generates battery power from braking. The energy stored in batteries is then used to assist the diesel motor when accelerating. Total  emissions emitted by the train is reduced compared to its predecessor powered only by diesel.

Formation 
The sets are formed as follows.

Interior 
Seating across all cars consists primarily of 2+2 abreast seating. Also included are power outlets for all seats, free Wi-Fi, and universal-access toilets. The standard-class interior's seats use a seat moquette of a red–orange gradient, inspired by the autumn leaves alongside the line. Wheelchair spaces are also provided.

Green cars, which are only available on some four-car sets, incorporate a theme of calmness and quality. The seats use seat moquette with a blue–green gradient, inspired by the greenery alongside the railway line, as well as the river and the sky at dusk.

History 
The first set was unveiled in December 2019. The set has since been deployed on test runs.

Mass production commenced during fiscal 2022, with test runs for the first two production sets, D2 and D3, commencing on 21 April 2022. A total of 64 vehicles are to be built by fiscal 2023, and the prototype set is due to be upgraded to mass-production standards.

The fleet entered service on 1 July 2022, operating on Hida limited-express services on the Takayama Main Line between Nagoya and Takayama. From 18 March 2023, all Hida services used HC85 series trainsets. JR Central introduced the fleet on Nanki limited-express services on the Kisei Main Line from 1 July 2023.

The HC85 series received the 2023 Blue Ribbon Award, presented annually by the Japan Railfan Club.

Econyl. Econyl regenerated nylon is a material and a brand introduced in 2011 by Aquafil. It is made entirely from waste otherwise polluting the Earth, such as industrial discards, fabric scraps from clothing manufacturing companies, old carpets and fishing nets (mainly from the aquaculture industry). The material has been used by Stella McCartney (handbag linings, backpacks, outerware, etc.), Kelly Slater's label Outerknown, Adidas and Speedo swimwear, Levi's, Breitling (watch straps), and many other brands from the fashion and interior industries.

Aquafil began nylon recycling in the 1990s, but did not begin exploration of a comprehensive nylon reuse cycle until 2007, which ultimately led to the development of Econyl Regeneration System and the associated closed-loop process in 2011.

For every 10,000 tons of Econyl raw material, it is possible to save 70,000 barrels of crude oil .  Further, the material can be continuously recycled without loss of quality.

Aquafil facilities for the collection and recycling of nylon materials include a carpet recycling plant in the United States (in Phoenix, Arizona).  Recycling involves breaking down the nylon polymer into monomers, and then re-polymerizing the nylon them into brend-new nylon; the breakdown process is done with temperature, steam and catalysts, in a renewable energy-driven process.

ASIL accuracy. ASIL accuracy describes the maximum possible deviation of a measurement in a system in which a single point fault occurred before some diagnostic detects this fault. This concept applies to automotive systems designed under the ISO-26262 methodology for automotive functional safety, which defines Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) to classify risks.

While accuracy refers to a single measurement, ASIL accuracy considers variation in the primary measurement being assessed as well as variation in the diagnostic measurement or measurements used to detect single point faults.

How to calculate

A conceptually simple implementation incorporates a fully redundant measurement. A fault in the primary measurement can be detected by comparing the primary and diagnostic measurements, and signaling a fault if the difference is outside the expected operating range. If the two measurements are truly independent and uncorrelated, in normal operation they can be at opposite ends of their operating ranges. If the primary measurement has an accuracy V1, and if the redundant diagnostic measurement has an accuracy V2, then the fault detection limit should be set to at least VLIM=V1+V2 to avoid false positives. The system shall flag a fault if the difference between V1 and V2 is greater than VLIM. The fault detection limit, however, should not be confused with ASIL accuracy. Consider the case of a single point fault in which the primary measurement drifts to an incorrect value. ASIL accuracy describes the maximum such drift before the fault is flagged. If the diagnostic measurement V2 is at the maximum of its operating range, the primary measurement can drift VLIM further before the fault is raised. The maximum possible drift in the primary measurement V1, then, is V2+VLIM, and so the ASIL accuracy VASIL=V2+VLIM.
