E.M.I.L.Y.. E.M.I.L.Y. (sometimes, EMILY or Emily; acronym for Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard) is a robotic device used by lifeguards for rescuing swimmers. Created by Hydronalix, a maritime robotic company, and funded by the United States Navy, EMILY operates on battery power and is operated by remote control after being dropped into the water from shore, a boat, pier, or helicopter. Using an impeller motor to travel through water, it is able to reach victims much faster than a human lifeguard can by swimming, and it is more compact and less expensive to maintain than crewed watercraft. It can also operate in weather and surf conditions that make other rescue attempts impractical. Once it reaches the victims its foam core allows it to function as a flotation device for four to six people holding onto side ropes or handles.

History 
EMILY was created in 2001 by inventor and Hydronalix CEO Anthony Mulligan and Robert Lautrup, and named after Marie Mulligan's friend, who died in a car accident. It was initially designed to be a drone for whale monitoring. It was first tested in Zuma Beach near Malibu, California, and at Depoe Bay, Oregon and Westerly, Rhode Island beginning early 2010. In July 2012, lifeguards there made one of the first rescues using EMILY, pulling a father and son to shore after they had been caught in a rip current.

In 2012, a multi-day duration gasoline powered variant of EMILY for ocean-based storm tracking and weather data collection was developed and funded by NOAA.

EMILY has been used by navies, coast guards, and search-and-rescue units in countries around the world including South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Mongolia, Brazil, Mexico, and Greece.

Features 
EMILY is a small unmanned surface vessel (USV). It can travel up to 22 mph and weighs 25 pounds. The robot is remote-controlled and can be deployed from land, off a bridge, a boat or aircraft. Features include:

 a two-way radio
 a live-streaming video camera
 lights for night rescues

Rescues 
In January 2016, EMILY joined a Roboticists Without Borders team from Texas A&M University Center for Robotic Assisted Search and Rescue on a successful mission to Lesvos Island, Greece to assist in ocean rescues of Syrian refugees crossing the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece. In the first few days of embedded missions with the Hellenic Red Cross, EMILY assisted the Red Cross and other lifeguard organizations to help more than 250 refugees safely come ashore on Lesvos. 

With a high success rate, EMILY continues assisting the Red Cross with JASPERRO, the less intelligent AI machine. There are currently systems with the Hellenic Red Cross, the Hellenic Coast Guard, and in Turkey.

Tadashi Sasaki (engineer). was a Japanese engineer who was influential in founding Busicom, driving the development of the Intel 4004 microprocessor, and later driving Sharp into the LCD calculator market.

Biography
Tadashi Sasaki was born on May 12, 1915, in Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture. Not much is known of Sasaki's mother. His father was a former samurai from the garrison at Hamada Castle and a teacher. Initially, Sasaki desired to study modern Japanese literature, but he was encouraged by one of his school teachers to study science. He studied electrical engineering at Kyoto University, where he graduated in 1938. After graduation, he worked for a short time on circuit design at the Electrotechnical Laboratory—a preeminent research laboratory sponsored by the Ministry of Telecommunications. This position was short-lived as the outbreak of war in Japan meant Sasaki would be recruited for wartime work. Sasaki was assigned to an aircraft maker called Kawanishi, which was based in the western Japanese port of Kobe. Sasaki did research on vacuum tubes for use in telephones, wireless, and radar. In this position, he learned about the vertical integration of technology, an experience he found to be very valuable. Additionally, Sasaki worked to develop radar technologies as well as radar technologies to aid in the war effort. This research took him to Wurzburg, Germany, where he studied anti-radar technology. He later worked in Kobe Kogyo, the first Japanese company to manufacture transistors, and then in Hayakawa Electrical Industries, where he helped to develop electronic calculators. This eventually led him to obtain American patent licences to fabricate integrated chips and thus the first commercially successful pocket calculator. His frequent trips overseas to study the latest developments in semiconductor technologies earned him the popular nicknames "Rocket Sasaki" and "Mr. Rocket".

Intel 4004
Sasaki played a key role in the creation of the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. Initially, he conceived of the idea of the chip and requests that Intel build it, for building better calculators. He was involved in the development of the Busicom 141-PF desktop calculator which led to the 4004's creation. He conceived of a single-chip CPU in 1968, when he discussed the concept at a brainstorming meeting that was held in Japan.

Sasaki attributes the basic idea to integrate the four basic parts of the calculator chipset (ROM (4001), RAM (4002), shift registers (4003) and CPU (4004)) into a single chip to an unnamed woman, a software engineering researcher from Nara Women's College, who was present at the meeting. Sasaki then had his first meeting with Robert Noyce from Intel in 1968, and presented the woman's four-division chipset concept to Intel and Busicom, providing the basis for the single-chip microprocessor design of the Intel 4004.

Spin canting. Some antiferromagnetic materials exhibit a non-zero magnetic moment at a temperature near absolute zero. This effect is ascribed to spin canting, a phenomenon through which spins are tilted by a small angle about their axis rather than being exactly co-parallel. 

Spin canting is due to two factors contrasting each other: isotropic exchange would align the spins exactly antiparallel, while antisymmetric exchange arising from relativistic effects (spin–orbit coupling) would align the spins at 90° to each other. The net result is a small perturbation, the extent of which depends on the relative strength of these effects.

This effect is observable in many materials such as hematite.

Féré F.3. The Féré F.3 is a single engine, single seat French sports plane, amateur designed and built in the 1980s. Only one was completed.

Design and development

The Féré F.3 is almost entirely wooden in structure and skinning, though some areas are fabric covered.  The one piece, low set wing is built around a single box spar, with its leading edge covered in okoumé plywood under an overall fabric covering.  The inner sections of the wings have no dihedral but the outer panels are set at 5.80°.  There are plain, fabric covered ailerons on the outer panels but no flaps.

Its square-section fuselage, with rounded upper decking, is also plywood-covered apart from a polyester engine cover. A nose-mounted modified 30 kW (40 hp) Volkswagen engine drives a two-blade propeller. The single-seat cockpit, placed over the wing leading edge, is under a sideways-opening, single-piece canopy.  There is a baggage space behind the seat, where the canopy line runs into that of the high rear decking.  The empennage is conventional, with ply-covered fixed surfaces and fabric-covered control surfaces.  The horizontal surfaces are placed close to the top of the fuselage, with the elevator hinge ahead of that for the rudder.  The elevators have a cutout for rudder movement as the latter extends down to the keel.  There is an in-flight-adjustable trim tab on the port elevator and a ground-adjustable one the rudder. The Féré F.3 lands on a fixed, conventional undercarriage with rubber block shock absorbers on the cantilever main legs.  The mainwheels are enclosed in fairings and have brakes; the leaf spring-mounted tailwheel is steerable.

The Féré F.3 first flew in March 1981. Although plans were offered for other builders, it seems that the prototype F-PYJF was the only one completed. It remained on the French civil register in 2010 and is currently with the Musée Régional de l'Air, Angers, though not on display or active.
