Douglas 1211-J. The Douglas 1211-J was a bomber aircraft design developed by American aircraft manufacturer Douglas to compete with the Boeing B-52 design for a major United States Air Force contract between 1946 and 1954. The Model 1211-J design was 160 feet long with a wingspan of 227 feet, and was powered by four turboprop engines. The aircraft was designed around a new 43,000-pound conventional bomb but could carry nuclear weapons as well. It could also carry its own fighter escorts, as parasites under its wings. These fighters' jet engines were to be powered up to assist the carrier bomber during takeoff; refueling of the fighters was to take place while they were stowed on the mothership's underwing pylons.

Temperature–salinity diagram. In oceanography, temperature-salinity diagrams, sometimes called T-S diagrams, are used to identify water masses. In a T-S diagram, rather than plotting each water property as a separate "profile," with pressure or depth as the vertical coordinate, potential temperature (on the vertical axis) is plotted versus salinity (on the horizontal axis). 
Temperature and salinity combine to determine the potential density of seawater; contours of constant potential density are often shown in T-S diagrams. Each contour is known as an isopycnal, or a region of constant density. These isopycnals appear curved because of the nonlinearity of the equation of state of seawater. The thermal expansion coefficient, αT, and the haline contraction coefficient, βS, vary with temperature and salinity because both properties affect the potential density of seawater.

As long as it remains isolated from the surface, where heat or fresh water can be gained or lost, and in the absence of mixing with other water masses, a water parcel's potential temperature and salinity are conserved. Deep water masses thus retain their T-S characteristics for long periods of time, and can be identified readily on a T-S plot. Deep water masses are formed in different locations, and therefore have differing characteristic properties, like ranges of temperature and salinity values. When T-S plots are created by compiling data collected from various locations, it is possible to group the data points based on where the water mass was formed. This gives an idea of how the properties of different water masses compare to each other, which can give an idea of the way that thermohaline circulation works. In general, the depth of the water increases as you move to the bottom right corner of the graph (high salinity, low temperature), but there is some variation.

Vast (novel). Vast is a science fiction novel by Linda Nagata, part of her loosely connected "Nanotech Succession" sequence.

Background
The main characters of Vast are the crew and passengers of the Null Boundary, who are fleeing from the alien Chenzeme. The Chenzeme, using the "cult virus" and other, more conventional, weapons have destroyed much of human-occupied space, leaving the inhabitants of the Null Boundary to attempt to discover why.

While Vast is a standalone novel, there are links to The Bohr Maker, Tech-Heaven and Deception Well, primarily in the form of two shared technological innovations: advanced nanotechnology and "ghosts", a name given to electronically preserved human memories and personalities.

Literary significance and reception
SF Site gave the novel a positive review, commenting on the balance between the relatively straightforward plotline and the complex character interaction.

John Clute, in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, described the "Deception Well" sub-sequence (comprising Deception Well and Vast) as "an immensely complex tale," drawing comparisons with the work of Olaf Stapledon and Larry Niven.

Alastair Reynolds described Vast as "one of the most enjoyable SF books I've read in the last 12 years" and noted its influence on his own novels, particularly Redemption Ark and House of Suns.

John W. Browning. John Walker Browning (June 10, 1842 in New York City – 1904) was an American journalist, lawyer and politician from New York.

Life
He attended Public School No. 3 and then learned the trade of a bricklayer.

During the American Civil War, he enlisted in the 12th New York State Militia in April 1861, and was discharged in August. He enlisted in September 1861 in the 1st New York Engineers, and took part in the battles of Port Royal, Fort Pulaski, James Island and others in the Department of the South until December 1863 when he was discharged as a sergeant-major and brevet second lieutenant. He was a clerk in the U.S. Department of War from 1864 to 1867.

From 1868 to 1872 he was an inspector of the building department in New York City. He then became a journalist, and was the Albany correspondent of the New York Star and the New York Evening Express until 1877. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 9th D.) in 1878.

In November 1879 he was defeated for the State Senate by Republican Robert H. Strahan. In 1880, Browning unsuccessfully contested Strahan's election, and studied law. He was again a member of the State Assembly in 1881, was admitted to the bar later that year, and practiced in New York City. He was a member of the New York State Senate (8th D.) in 1882 and 1883.

In 1884, he removed to Denver, Colorado, and practiced law there. He was Assistant Postmaster of Denver from 1885 to 1888; and Melter of the U.S. Mint at Denver from 1888 to 1890.

He was buried at the Fairmount Cemetery in Denver.

SNCASE SE-2100. The Sud-Est or SNCASE SE-2100, sometimes known as the Satre SE-2100 after its designer, was a tailless, pusher configuration touring monoplane with a single engine and cabin for two. Only one was built.

Design and development
The SE-2100 was designed by Pierre Satre, later the chief designer of the Concorde, as a response to a 1943 specification by the Vichy French Air Ministry for a two-seat touring aircraft. An all-metal aircraft, it had a low, cantilever, straight tapered wing with 55° of sweep on the leading edge and 10.43° of dihedral. There were fixed leading edge slots and trailing edge ailerons but no conventional flaps. The wing tips carried large, rounded fins with rudder-like rear portions which only moved outwards; they were used differentially for yaw control and jointly as flaps.

The SE-2010 had a short, blunt-nosed nacelle-type fuselage with a cabin which could be configured to seat one centrally or two in side-by-side, dual control configuration. The seats were just aft of the leading edge, with a baggage compartment behind them.  Access was via deep, wide, forward hinged doors on both sides; to make this possible, a piece of the wing root leading edge was an integral part of each door.  A 140 hp (104 kW) Renault Bengali 4 four cylinder, inverted, inline engine was mounted in pusher configuration behind the cabin and air-cooled via a ventral scoop; it drove a two-blade propeller positioned just behind the trailing edge. The SE-2100's fixed, tricycle undercarriage had pneumatic shock absorbers and mainwheel brakes; the nosewheel was free-swivelling. At different times the undercarriage legs and wheels were unfaired or faired.

The SE-2010 flew for the first time on 4 October 1945. Despite demonstrating promising performance and showing high manoeuvrability when demonstrated at the 1946 Paris Air Show, no production followed, with the prototype surviving into the early 1950s.

Outlast Technologies. Outlast Technologies, commonly referred to as Outlast, develops and sells phase change materials (PCMs) in the United States and internationally. Outlast offers Thermocules, a microencapsulated phase change materials, which are incorporated into fabrics and fibers for absorbing, storing, and releasing excess heat. The company’s products comprise temperature regulating textiles, fabrics, fibers, and knits. Its products are used in outdoor sports, bedding, apparel, and footwear applications, as well as home furnishings, packaging, military, and medical markets.  Outlast Technologies was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame in 2005 and became a Certified Space Technology in 2003. The company was formerly known as Gateway Technologies, Inc. and changed its name to Outlast Technologies, Inc. in 1997. Outlast Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1990 and is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, US with operations in Heidenheim, Germany; and Tokyo, Japan.

Application methods 
There are three main application methods of phase change material incorporation: matrix infusion coating, in-fiber, and coating.

Matrix infusion coating 

PCM Thermocules are finely printed onto flat fabric for next to skin products.  Matrix infusion coating allows for an unchanged hand, drape, and wick.

In-fiber 

Acrylic, viscose, or polyester fibers are melt-spun with Thermocule PCM to achieve fiber embedded with PCM.  This fiber is then spun into yarns then into fabrics or finished products.  In-fiber is used for next to skin products.

Coating 

Coated materials offer the highest loading capacity of PCM and thus the largest heat storage capacity of any application technique.  Coated materials are not intended for next to skin products.

End-uses 
The majority of Outlast end-products fall in the categories of bedding, apparel, and footwear.  The following table gives a non-exhaustive list of Outlast end-products.
