Kolb Mark III. The Kolb Mark III is a family of American side-by-side two seater, high wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear-equipped ultralight aircraft that is produced in kit form by New Kolb Aircraft of London, Kentucky, and intended for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Mark III's standard engine was originally the  Rotax 582 engine, but the current engines offered are the   Rotax 912UL or the  Rotax 912ULS. In its home country the aircraft is normally licensed in the Experimental - amateur-built category.

The design features a forward fuselage of welded 4130 steel tubing, mated to an aluminum tailboom. The horizontal stabilizer, tail fin and wings are also constructed of riveted aluminum tubing with all flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The wings and horizontal tail are quick-folding for storage and ground transport. The original Mark III can be made ready to fly from trailering in eight minutes by one person without the use of tools, while the newer M3X variant is rated at 15 minutes to assemble for flight.

The landing gear is sprung tubing for the main gear, with a steerable sprung tailwheel and the cabin is  in width.

Factory options include brakes, Ballistic Recovery Systems airframe parachute and powder coating of the steel parts. The manufacturer describes the aircraft as STOL, with a  take-off run.

Mold-A-Rama. Mold-A-Rama is a brand name for a type of vending machine that makes injection molded plastic figurines. Mold-A-Rama machines debuted in late 1962  and grew in prominence at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The machines can still be found operating in dozens of museums and zoos.

History
American inventor John H. "Tike" Miller is credited with conceiving a free-standing plastic-molding machine in the 1950s. He licensed his mold-making patent and related technology to the Automatic Retailers Of America (Aramark), which operated Mold-A-Rama machines as a subsidiary company through 1969. Aramark divested all machines and service locations by 1972 because of the high cost of the equipment. As of 2010, two US companies own and operate Mold-A-Rama machines: the William A. Jones Company in Illinois and Replication Devices in Florida. As of November 2015, there are 124 machines in eight states.

Stamped circuit board. A stamped circuit board (SCB) is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. This technology is used for small circuits, for instance in the production of LEDs.

Similar to printed circuit boards this layer structure may comprise glass-fibre reinforced epoxy resin and copper. Basically, in the case of LED substrates three variations are possible: 
 the PCB (printed circuit board),
 plastic-injection molding and
 the SCB.

Using the SCB technology it is possible to structure and laminate the most widely differing material combinations in a reel-to-reel production process. As the layers are structured separately, improved design concepts are able to be implemented. Consequently, a far better and quicker heat dissipation from within the chip is achieved.

Production 
Both the plastic and the metal are initially processed on separate reels, .i.e. in accordance with the requirements the materials are individually structured by stamping (“brought into form“) and then merged.

Advantages 
The engineering respectively choice of substrates actually comes down to the particular application, module design/substrate assembly, material and thickness of the material involved.

Taking these parameters it is possible to attain a good thermal management by using SCB technology, because rapid heat dissipation from beneath the chip means a longer service life for the system. Furthermore, SCB technology allows the material to be chosen to correspond to the pertinent requirements and then to optimize the design to arrive at a “perfect fit”.

Autonomous Navigation System. The Autonomous Navigation System (ANS) was a 2007–2011 combat vehicle upgrade used to convert manned vehicles to autonomous unmanned capability or to upgrade already unmanned vehicles to be autonomous.

Design
ANS was an on board, integrated suite of sensors and technology that enabled autonomous navigation, perception, path-planning and vehicle-following capabilities for unmanned ground vehicles, allowing them to move on the battlefield with minimal human oversight. Some tasks the system already performed in tests included move-on-route, obstacle detection and avoidance and leader/follower capabilities in both day and night conditions. Originally designed by the Army for integration on the armed robotic vehicle–assault (light) (ARV-A(L)), the ANS has also been tested on vehicles including Strykers, MULE engineering evaluation units, and light medium tactical vehicles (LMTV).

History
The Critical Design Review found the ANS to be at a maturity level consistent with moving to the prototype fabrication phase and that its assessments and critical issues presented low risk with 95 percent of its requirements met. Closure of the CDR was expected in late August 2010. Prototype delivery was scheduled for late 2011 and Integrated Qualification Testing would begin in 2012. The Army ended development work on the system and ARV in July 2011 stating that the system  "did not warrant continued investment,".

Optical Multi-Tree with Shuffle Exchange. An optoelectronic system is basically a hybrid system that exploits both the   advantages of electronic and optical communication. Various models of optoelectronic parallel computers have been proposed in recent years. Optical Multi-Trees with Shuffle Exchange (OMTSE) using both electronic and optical links among processors. The processors are organized in the form of an n × n array of certain groups each containing 3n/2 nodes.  It can be noted that the entire network topology is almost regular   with an O(log n) diameter.

For parallel computing, the interconnection network is the heart of a parallel processing system, and many systems have failed to meet their design goals for the design of their essential components. The bandwidth limitation of the electronic interconnects prompted the need for exploring alternatives that overcome this limitation. Optics is considered as an alternative that is capable of providing inherentcommunication, parallelism, high connectivity and large bandwidth. When the communication distances exceed a few millimeters, optical interconnects provide advantage over the electronic interconnects in term of power, speed and crosstalk property. Therefore, in the construction of very powerful and large multiprocessor systems, it is advantageous to interconnect close processors physically using electronic links and far processors (kept in other package) using optical links. Thus we use optical network like OMTSE, OTIS, and OMULT etc.  The OMTSE network consists of two different systems called as optical and electrical. In this network there are using two layer of TSE network with a complete binary trees of height one and the roots of these binary trees are connected with Shuffle-Exchange fashion.

Topology of OMTSE

The network consists of a total of  processors are built around  factor networks called TSE networks. Each factor network consists of n leaf nodes. The diameter and bisection width of the OMTSE network is shown to be 6 log n − 1 and .

Tupolev ANT-37. The Tupolev ANT-37 (or DB-2)  was a Soviet twin-engined long-range bomber designed and built by the Tupolev design bureau, the design team operating under the guidance of Pavel Sukhoi. The aircraft did not enter production, but three examples of the type were used for research and record breaking flights.

Design and development
Based on the unbuilt Tupolev ANT-36 (DB-1) single-engined bomber, the ANT-37 was a twin-engined monoplane of stressed skin, dural construction, fitted with a high-aspect-ratio wing and tailwheel landing gear, the main units retracting into the engine nacelles.

Powered by  Gnome-Rhône 14K radial engines, the prototype first flew on 16 June 1935. The program suffered a setback when the prototype crashed the following month, after the tail splintered into pieces during flight. A re-designed second prototype was built, designated as the DB-2D, in an attempt to overcome the design problems encountered during flight testing, particularly with the tail unit.

It was decided not to order the type into production, the Ilyushin DB-3 being selected for Soviet Air Force service instead.  Despite this, three aircraft were built, designated ANT-37bis (or DB-2B), for research and record breaking purposes. These three aircraft would survive into the 1940s.

Operational history
The first of the three DB-2B aircraft was given the name Rodina ("Motherland"), and, flown by an all female crew (Valentina Grizodubova, Polina Osipenko, and Marina Raskova) between 24 and 25 September 1938, it was used to establish a distance record of  before ending in an emergency landing. This set a world's record for distance flown by a woman crew.

The Daleth Effect. The Daleth Effect, also known as In Our Hands, the Stars, is a science fiction novel written by Harry Harrison and published in 1970.

Plot
Arnie Klein, an Israeli scientist, discovers the 'Daleth effect', a simple and economic way to achieve space travel. It also has the potential to be used as a weapon. Klein defects to Denmark in order to protect his discovery and develop it without it falling into the hands of the military. He fits an experimental Daleth effect unit to a submarine to create a makeshift spacecraft. When it is sent into space to rescue two Soviet cosmonauts who are stranded on the Moon, Klein is forced to reveal his secret to the world. He and his friends are then subjected to pressure from a variety of international sources, all of which seek access to his invention.

Publication
The novel was originally serialised in Analog magazine in 1969–1970. It was published in book form in 1970, in the United States as The Daleth Effect and in the United Kingdom as In Our Hands, the Stars. A German translation was published as Der Daleth-Effekt in 1971, a Spanish translation as En Nuestras Manos las Estrellas in 1972, an Italian as Le stelle nelle mani in 1973, and a Chinese translation as Tai Kong Quian Ting in 1981.

Reception
Reviewing the novel in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, James Blish described it as "quite straight forward—a driving action story ... and in addition, this is a cautionary tale, like the best of Wells ... at once as exciting and as somber as John le Carré ... though not, I am afraid, as well written." As a novel about the misuse of scientific discovery, the book was listed by Stanley Schmidt as one of the "10 SF Books For Scientists".

Kolb Slingshot. The Kolb Slingshot is an American tandem two seat, high wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear-equipped ultralight aircraft, that was produced in kit form by New Kolb Aircraft of London, Kentucky and intended for amateur construction.

By mid-2014, the company was no longer offering the model for sale and production had ended.

Design and development
The Slingshot was designed as a two-seat ultralight with a small wing and high cruise speed for the installed power, capable of delivering speeds comparable to a general aviation aircraft without the associated cost or complexity. The standard engine was originally the  Rotax 582 engine, but the  Rotax 503,  Rotax 618,  Rotax 912UL and  or 2si twin engine packs have been installed. In its home country the aircraft is normally licensed in the Experimental - amateur-built category.

The design features a forward fuselage of welded 4130 steel tubing, mated to an aluminum tailboom. The horizontal stabilizer, tail fin and wings are also constructed of riveted aluminum tubing with all flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The wings and horizontal tail are quick-folding for storage and ground transport. The Slingshot can be made ready to fly from trailering in 15 minutes.
