Wabtec FLXDrive. The Wabtec FLXDrive platform (pronounced "flex-drive") is a class of battery-electric locomotives manufactured by Wabtec's GE Transportation subsidiary beginning in 2019. Using a modified version of the GE Evolution Series platform, FLXdrive is Wabtec's first zero-emissions locomotive, storing energy in 20 racks of lithium-ion battery cells. FLXDrive is a hybrid-electric locomotive, meaning it works in conjunction with traditional diesel-electric locomotives to provide regenerative braking for a train. The first-generation locomotives (with a capacity of 2.4 MWh) are able to operate 30 to 40 minutes at full power when being not connected to another locomotive.

The first prototype locomotive, number 3000, was successfully tested on BNSF Railway in 2021 and found to reduce fuel consumption when paired with conventional diesel-electric locomotives. Since 2020, FLXDrive locomotives have been ordered by Union Pacific, Canadian National, Rio Tinto, BHP, and Roy Hill. The first locomotives are scheduled to enter service in 2023.

In 2022, Wabtec announced a line of battery-electric locomotives including six-axle, four-axle, and foreign market variants. Wabtec plans to market the FLXDrive in tandem with hydrogen-powered locomotives, allowing the two types to complement each other.

On October 31, 2023, Wabtec unveiled the first production FLXDrive locomotive planned for delivery to the Australian Roy Hill ore railway in 2024.

Dokkum-class minesweeper. The Dokkum class was a ship class of eighteen minesweepers that were built in the Netherlands for the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were paid for by the United States under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program (MDAP).

Design 
The minesweepers of the Dokkum class were designed by the Dutch engineer Scheltema de Heere and based on the standard requirements laid down by the Western Union (WU), later known as Western European Union (WEU). Since the minesweepers of both the Dokkum and  are based on WU requirements, they are sometimes referred to in Dutch as WU-class minesweepers or minesweepers of the Western Union type.

The ships of the Dokkum class were made mostly from wood, only the frame and superstructure was made from aluminium. It also had a double hull, with the inner hull made out of mahogany and the outer hull of teak. Furthermore, they were equipped with reversible propellers.

While the minesweepers of the Dokkum and Wildervank class are almost identical, they do differ when it comes to the engines. The Dokkum class was equipped with two MAN diesel engines and the Wildervank class with two Werkspoor engines. As a result the minesweepers of the Dokkum class were more durable than those of the Wildervank class.

When it came to sweeping mines the ships of the Dokkum class were equipped with several different sweepers. As mechanic sweeper it had the Wire Mk 3 mod 2, the magnetic sweeper consisted of the ML Mk 4 and later the Mb 5, and the acoustic sweepers consisted of the AX Mk 4v, AXx Mk 6B and AX Mk 3. Furthermore, the ships were equipped with two 40 mm guns.

Conversion to minehunter 
To keep in line with NATO requirements it was decided in 1962 to rebuild four Dokkum-class minesweepers (Dokkum, Drunen, Staphorst and Veere) into minehunters. During the rebuilding the ships were equipped with a Plessey 193 minehunting system, the bridge was modified to better suit mine hunting operations, an automatic track and trace system and autopilot were installed and several other modifications were implemented. The four minehunters of the Dokkum class entered service of the Royal Netherlands Navy between 1968 and 1969.

Ships in class 
The ships were named after the smaller Dutch municipalities.

 ¹ = later rebuild as minehunter
 ² = later rebuild as diving support vessel

Export 
In 1994 the Abcoude was sold for 450.000 Dutch guilders to Peru. In addition, the reserve parts of the ship were sold for 160.000 Dutch guilders.

Reception
Anti Matter received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 88% based on 24 reviews.

Franck Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "Boasting impressive visuals and special effects, Anti Matter overcomes its familiar narrative aspects with an imaginative style that fully draws us into its complex storyline. The film proves that sophisticated sci-fi can be terrifying without relying on cheap jump scares." Noel Murray of Los Angeles Times wrote, "Because the actors deliver every line in a breathless rush, their performances are monotone; and because Burrows throws in new characters and ideas every few minutes, the resolution to this story comes out rushed and goofy, and not as poignant as intended. “Anti Matter” shows promise though — even when it’s more “interesting” than entertaining." Jonathan Barkan of Dread Central added, "A good mixture of horror and sci-fi can be difficult to obtain. While both often have a foundation in the fear of the unknown, horror usually focuses on primal instincts and urges whereas science fiction is often centered around the pursuit of something grander and more cerebral. When those ideals come together in clever ways, the two genres marry into a cohesive unit that can raise the hairs on the back of your neck while at the same time stimulate your brain and leave you guessing until the very end."

Messrs. Crosfield's Transporter Bridge. Messrs. Crosfield’s Transporter Bridge was a transporter bridge in Warrington, England, United Kingdom at , which was built by Mr. James Newall for the factory Messrs. Joseph Crosfield and Son in 1905 for the realisation of an interconnection of a new part of the factory south of Mersey river with the existing factory part north of Mersey river in 1905. 

As there was vessel traffic with tall ships on Mersey river at those days, a transporter bridge with a clearance of 22.86 metres (75 ft) was chosen for the realization of the desired crossing.
The transporter bridge was realized as suspension bridge with wind guy cables, which were fixed on crossbars at the support towers. While the tower on the south site was completely free-standing, that on the north bank was erected on the roof of a warehouse building of the factory. The bridge had a span width of 76.2 metres (250 ft) and a gondola capable of transporting a load of 2.5 tons.

In 1915, it was supplemented by the still existing Warrington Transporter Bridge, as it was not able to handle heavy loads. In later years, it was decommissioned and converted into a pipeline bridge before it was demolished.

Henry Josiah Griswold. Henry Josiah Griswold (1837–1929), born in Madison, Connecticut, had a significant role in modifying circular knitting machines. Because of Henry Josiah Griswold, in England, the word "Griswold" became synonymous with domestic circular knitting machines. He founded a hosiery company in 1891 with the name "London and Leicester Hosiery Company" and also leased a factory on Winifred Street in Leicester. Griswold returned to America between 1890 and 1892 and sold his rights to the firm to I. L. Berridge.

Patents 
After Henry Josiah Griswold's 1872 sock machine, fewer framework knitters were needed.

Henry Josiah Griswold received a patent [number 3257] in 1873 for "Improvements in Knitting Machinery," and another patent [number 5048] in 1880 for "Improvements in the stocking manufacturing machines and other knitted fabrics".

Improvements in knitting machines 
Henry changed the way that the knitting machines worked so that they were easier to use and made better products. Henry Griswold improved latch-needle knitting by moving the needles individually and directly by bending their shanks. He did this in 1878 with his hand-operated, revolving cam-box, small-diameter sock machine.
