NW S. The NW type S was a series of large automobiles manufactured by Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriks-Gesellschaft A.G. (NW, now known as Tatra), in Moravia, in what was then Austria-Hungary.

Hans Ledwinka, who left the company in 1902, was hired back in 1905. Immediately, he started working on a new car with a modern and progressive design. Some of the new features included overhead valves, actuated by overhead camshaft (OHC), and hemispherical combustion chamber. The water-cooled engine was mounted at three points and the engine block had large service access doors. The engine and the gearbox formed one unit, the monoblock.

The gearbox itself was of a bell shape with only five gears. Two of the gears were ring type with teeth on the inside surface. Individual speeds were engaged by moving the gears radially. The rear axle was driven by a drive shaft in lieu of chains.

The S4 and S6 with four- and six-cylinder engines, respectively, were able to reach maximum speeds of 80 km/h and 100 km/h (50/62 mph). The S 18/24 and 16/20 models developed , while the S4 20/30 offered . The later, six-cylinder S6 40/50 version was an S4 with two cylinders added; it produced  and was introduced in 1910. The total production of both models was 74 units.

F. James McDonald. Francis James McDonald (August 3, 1922 – June 13, 2010) was an American engineer and business executive who worked his way up through the ranks at General Motors, ultimately serving as its president and chief operating officer from 1981 to 1987 during the tenure of chairman and chief executive Roger Smith.

Biography 
McDonald was born in Saginaw, Michigan on August 3, 1922. He was sponsored by the Saginaw Malleable Iron Division to attend the General Motors Institute in Flint, Michigan, later known as Kettering University, where he combined engineering courses with time spent in the company's foundries. He served in the United States Navy as a submarine engineer during World War II.

After completing his military service, McDonald went back to General Motors in 1946, at the company's Saginaw Malleable Iron plant. There he designed a new kind of conveyor belt for the facility where the company manufactured engine parts. He was named to head the company's foundry in Defiance, Ohio in the mid-1950s and he was named as general manager of the Pontiac division from 1969 to 1972 and then to head the Chevrolet division of GM from 1972 to 1974, both times succeeding John DeLorean.

McDonald was named to GM's board of directors in 1974 and was chosen as its president in 1981. He conceded the failures of the GM X platform and its poor quality profile compared to foreign cars. He oversaw the consolidation of GM's five car divisions into two car-making units, with the goal of streamlining production and improving quality control. The move was criticized for having eliminated the distinctive styling of each of GM's badges and creating similar appearing vehicles. However, the additional bureaucracy and other problems with the plan led to its ultimate dismantling in 1992 by John F. Smith, Jr. He worked with the United Auto Workers to form the UAW-GM Quality Network, a joint effort by management and workers to improve the quality of GM vehicles.

During his tenure, McDonald often disagreed on policy issues with chairman and chief executive Roger Smith, with McDonald focusing on running the business and staying out of the public eye. He stepped down from his post in 1987, having reached GM's mandatory retirement age of 65. Asked for any regrets during his tenure at the automaker, he said he "would make the Eldorado seven inches longer", as his 1985 redesign of the vehicle led to lower sales for the car.

McDonald served on the boards of companies such as Georgia-Pacific, Halliburton, H.J. Heinz and KMart.

McDonald had homes in Harbor Springs, Michigan and Vero Beach, Florida. He died of cancer at age 87 on May 13, 2010, at a hospice in Vero Beach. He was survived by his wife, the former Betty Dettenthaler, as well as by three children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Omnishale process. Omnishale process (also known as the Petro Probe process) is an in situ shale oil extraction technology to convert kerogen in oil shale to shale oil. This process is classified as an externally generated hot gas technology.  The technology is developed by General Synfuels International, a subsidiary of Earth Search Sciences.

History
The Omnishale shale oil extraction in situ technology was invented by Ron McQueen and developed and tested by Petro Probe and General Synfuels International.  On 11 October 2005, a subsidiary of Earth Search Sciences Petro Probe acquired an unlimited license to use Omnishale shale oil extraction technology developed by General Synfuels International, Inc. On 15 August 2008, Earth Search Sciences acquired General Synfuels International and oil shale activities of Petro Probe were transferred to General Synfuels International. In 2009, General Synfuels International started a cooperation with Anadarko Petroleum.  On 30 March 2010, General Synfuels International started construction of the test plant on the Anadarko-controlled test site near Rock Springs, Wyoming, in the Green River Formation.  In April 2010, a $10 million Patriot's Oil Shale Technology Fund L.P. was formed to complete funding of the Phase 1 construction of the test shale oil plant.

Technology
The Omnishale shale oil extraction in situ technology of Earth Search Sciences was invented by Ron McQueen and developed by Petro Probe and General Synfuels International. In this process, holes are drilled into the oil shale formation and a processing inlet conduit is placed within holes. Pressurized air super heated by an above-ground combustor is directed into the oil shale formation through the inlet conduit. As a result, the kerogen in oil shale is heated and converted to a gaseous state.

Louis Moyroud. Louis Marius Moyroud (pronounced MOY-rood; February 16, 1914 – June 28, 2010) was a French-born American inventor who co-developed the phototypesetting process with Rene Alphonse Higonnet, which allows text and images to be printed on paper using a photoengraving process, a method that made the traditional publishing method of hot metal typesetting obsolete.

Biography
Louis Marius Moyroud was born on 16 February 1914 in Moirans, Isère, France. He attended engineering schools and received a government scholarship to study engineering at the École nationale supérieure d'arts et métiers, graduating in 1936. He served in the French Army as a second lieutenant starting in 1936, and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1939. He was hired in 1941 by LMT Laboratories, an ITT Corporation subsidiary based in Lyon.

Around 1943, Higonnet visited a printing plant where he saw the existing typesetting process for offset printing, in which molten lead was cast to form lines of type to make a single copy of a page which was printed and then photographed so that an offset printing plate could be produced through a photographic process. They thought that the process "was insane" and sought ways to produce directly the negative of the photographed page thus entirely eliminating the hot metal steps. They developed a device they called "Lumitype" (changed to "Photon" when later developed in the US), which directly exposed to film letters selected from a spinning disk using a strobe light resulting in a negative which could then be photoengraved to make offset printing plates, which they first unveiled in France in September 1946.

They moved to the United States in 1948, where the Graphic Arts Research Foundation was created to foster further development of their photocomposing method, which was patented in the U.S. in 1957. While the process they developed had higher initial costs, Rini Paiva of the National Inventors Hall of Fame described how the photocomposing process "definitely revolutionized the printing industry", allowing books, magazines and newspapers to be printed more easily and at substantially lower cost.

The foundation had spent $1 million by 1949 to develop the process, which was available for use at a price of $400 per month. The first book printed by their device was The Wonderful World of Insects in 1953 as a demonstration for MIT Press, which included 46 photographs on its 292 pages. Vannevar Bush called the process "a milestone in the graphic arts"> In 1954, The Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Massachusetts became the first newspaper to adopt the method for all of their printing.

Higonnet and Moyroud were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1985.

Moyroud died at age 96 on June 26, 2010, in his home in Delray Beach, Florida. He was survived by three sons. His wife, Marie-Thérèse Meynet, had died in 2008.

Saul Gorn. Saul Gorn (10 November 1912 – 22 February 1992) was an American pioneer in computer and information science who was a member of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania for more than 30 years.

Gorn was hired by the Moore School as an associate professor in 1955. He worked on the early ENIAC and EDVAC computers.

In 1958, Gorn was the chair of a committee created by the Association for Computing Machinery to investigate the social responsibility of computer scientists. He served on the committee with Melvin A. Shader, Arvid Jacobson, and Edmund Berkeley, who had petitioned for its creation.

The concept of a Gorn address comes from a paper by him, and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) presented him its Distinguished Service Award for 1974.

The Saul Gorn Memorial Lecture series has been established at the University of Pennsylvania in his memory.

IBM 2365 Processor Storage. The IBM 2365 Processor Storage is  a magnetic-core memory storage unit that is a component of the IBM System/360 models 65, 67, 75 and 85 computers, which were released between 1965 and 1968.

Storage is implemented using magnetic cores with a storage width of 72 bits, which comprise 64 data bits (8 bytes, or one doubleword) plus 8 parity bits. The IBM 2365 model 1 contains 131,072 (128 K) bytes of memory; all other models contain 262,144 (256 K) bytes. The model 2 could be converted in the field to a model 13.

All models other than the model 1 consist of two memory stacks.  Addressing for the stacks is interleaved, so the first 64-bit word is in one stack, the second in the other stack, and so forth.  This improves performance when doing sequential access.

All models other than the model 5 have a cycle time of 750 nanoseconds.

Models
The various models are used as follows:
 Model 1 is used on the System/360 model 65 when not used as a multiprocessor.
 Model 2 is used on the System/360 models 65 (when not used as a multiprocessor) and 67-1.
 Model 3 is used on the System/360 model 75.
 Model 5 is used on the System/360 model 85.
 Model 12 is used on the System/360 model 67-2.
 Model 13 is used on the System/360 model 65 when used as a multiprocessor.

Use with the System/360 model 85
The IBM 2365 model 5 is special because the System/360 model 85 accesses memory in  128-bit  (16 byte) units, unlike the other System/360 models which support the IBM 2365, all of which access 64-bit (8 byte) units.  On the System/360 model 85, the IBM 2365 model 5 operates with a cycle time of 1040 nanoseconds, and two or four of them are required.  Because the System/360 model 85 CPU is so much faster than memory, if there are two IBM 2365 model 5 components they are two-way interleaved, and if there are four IBM 2365 model 5 components they are four-way interleaved.  Because the IBM 2365 model 5 is internally two-way interleaved, sequential 128-bit memory operations issued by the System/360 model 85 CPU traverse all the memory components before cycling back to the first.

The IBM 2365 model 5 is used only with the System/360 model 85 with 524,288 (512 K) or 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB) of storage.

IBM 2385 Processor Storage
The IBM System/360 Model 85, when configured with 2,097,152 (2 MB, 360/85 K85) or 4,194,304 (4 MB, 360/85 L85) bytes, uses the IBM 2385 instead of the IBM 2365 Processor Storage.  The IBM 2385 has a cycle time of 960 nanoseconds compared to 1,040 nanoseconds for the IBM 2365 model 5.
