European eXPErimental Re-entry Testbed. European eXPErimental Re-entry Test-bed (EXPERT) is a European Space Agency aerothermodynamics research programme. It was planned that vehicle will be launched on a Russian Volna launch vehicle and will provide knowledge and experience in the design and development of re-entry vehicles. As of 2012, one element in a European Space Agency push to develop vehicles capable of re-entry has been pushed back until at least 2013 as the agency seeks a launch alternative to the Russian submarine-launched Volna rocket which was withdrawn. One of its main goals was to test materials for ESA's Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV), an unmanned, delta-winged plane launched in 2015 aboard ESA's new Vega small-satellite launcher. Currently EXPERT remains in storage conditions in Turin.

EXPERT Mission objectives 
According to an ESA-ESTEC paper, the EXPERT program has the following goals:

 Enable in-flight data gathering of selected aerothermodynamic phenomena with high accuracy and reliability
 Allow the validation of numerical modeling tools (CFD) and of methodologies for ground-to-flight data extrapolation
 Qualify in-flight classical and advanced measurement techniques
 Conduct extensive post-flight analyses based on in-flight data, pre-flight numerical databases, preflight ground testing activities.

4OS2. 4OS2 is the OS/2 analogue of 4NT and 4DOS by JP Software, Inc.  JP Software discontinued 4OS2, TCMDOS2 and TCMD16, making version 3.0, 2.0, 2.0 the final version of these.  The code for 4OS2 has been released, and is maintained, first by SciTech, and then by NetLabs.

Overview
Early versions of 4OS2 run in the Windows NT OS/2 emulation, and it was this particular running that led JP Software to port 4OS2 to Microsoft Windows.  4NT, for example, still has the OS/2 CMD.EXE commands like EXTPROC and REXX support, while earlier versions had commands like DPATH and LIBPATH, for setting these variables in the same manner that PATH does.  

The early 4OS2 packages came with both 16- and 32-bit versions, the former to run under OS/2 1.x including Windows NT OS/2. Eventually the 16-bit support was dropped.

JP Software have their final releases of these products at their download page.

There was a 4OS2 v4.0 as different programmers took up maintaining the release, but these have been since merged.

4OS2 has found more recent life at NetLabs.

It is included in ArcaOS.

Virtue Audio. Virtue Audio is a manufacturer of integrated amplifiers based on the Tripath microprocessor chip, also known as a, class-T, class D or switching amplifier. The company produces unusually small, brightly colored, value-priced amplifiers that produce higher wattage than normally found at their price. Design consultants include Roger Sheker, chief engineer for high-end audio company Audience, maker of the Auricap capacitor.

Principals
Virtue Audio was founded in 2005 by Seth Krinsky. Krinsky is said to have purchased thousands of dollars worth of Tripath chips as the chip-maker was entering bankruptcy, even before he had an amplifier designed for them. Engineer Michael Mardis performed initial design work on the Virtue amplifiers and rejoined the company in 2009. Sheker joined the project after Virtue sourced caps and wire from Audience.

Products
The company's core products are the Virtue One and Virtue Two integrated digital amplifiers. The two amps are built in the same aluminum case, with the only visible difference being the red front badge on the One and a silver badge on the Two. Inside, the more expensive Virtue Two includes upgraded Auricap input capacitors, a higher output chip, larger power caps and copper binding posts and ships with a larger power supply. The Virtue One uses Tripath TC2000/ bridges TP2051 chips while the more powerful Virtue Two relies on Apogee DDX2200 series power chips.

The Virtue amps were launched at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, Colorado in October 2008. The company's first product, the Virtue One, shipped November, 2008. 
Initially called the Audiophile.ONE and Audiophile.TWO, the names were changed due to possible trademark issues with another audio product. The rear of both units include a single set of left and right speaker terminals, as well as a single set of left and right RCA inputs and a buffered subwoofer output and power source input. The face includes a proportionally large chrome volume knob and a push in power button. The Virtue One ships standard with a 24volt, 65 watt regulated switching power supply, which is said to produce 30 watts per channel. The Virtue Two ships with a 30 volt, 90 watt unit producing 50 watts per channel. The 30v, 90 power supply produces 45 watts per channel from the Virtue One as an upgrade. A 30 volt, 130 watt power supply is also offered as an upgrade to both units producing 60 watts per channel.

Competitors in the value-priced end of the market include NuForce Icon, Trends TA-10, and the Winsome Labs Mouse, while Red Wine Audio, Audio Research and Bel Canto are high-end competitors running similar chipsets.

Yard light. A yard light or garden lantern is a free standing exterior light fixture in gardens and landscaped settings. They are usually illuminated by electricity, but occasionally natural gas, and are usually placed near an outdoor path or driveway to provide visibility in dark areas or areas that become dark at certain times. A solar lamp is operated by batteries charged by solar panels during the day.

Electric garden lanterns are usually controlled from inside a building by a wall switch, or by a photoelectric sensor attached to the lamp or  nearby. Yard lamps intended to provide security lighting may be controlled by a motion sensor.  Gas lanterns that burn continually may be prohibited by some jurisdiction's greenhouse gas environmental regulations.

Yard lamps are weather resistant. Water penetration can extinguish the flame, shatter the bulb, or short circuit the wiring.

DRG Glrhs. The covered goods wagons of classes Glrhs Dresden and Gltrhs Dresden were first placed in service in Germany by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft in 1937. The wartime (Kriegsbauart) wagon, the DRB Glmhs Leipzig, and the wartime passenger wagon, the DRB MCi-43, were based on the Dresden classes.

The vehicles were of welded design and could be used in trains travelling at up to .

The suspension comprised nine-layered leaf springs with a length of  and a cross section of . The springs were attached to their supports by means of rectangular suspension rings. The vehicles had an axle base of . The external sole bars had a strut frame as additional bracing.

The wagons were equipped with a heating pipe and constructed so that they could be converted for use on Russian broad gauge railways.

Both sides of the wagon had three loading or ventilation hatches and a sliding door measuring . Its loading length was , its width  and its loading height  to the highest point of the roof. The side walls were  high and the loading area was . Its loading volume was  including the roof space and  to the height of the walls.

The carrying capacity of the goods van was , the maximum load .

The wagon was also deployed in a variant with double end-doors, the Gltrhs on which the hand brake had to be omitted. 

These vehicles had a length over buffers of  and an unladen weight of .

After the war these wagons went into the West German Deutsche Bundesbahn as Class Glrhs 33 and East German Deutsche Reichsbahn as Glrhs 12.

Mallory metal. Mallory metal is proprietary name for an alloy of tungsten, with other metallic elements added to improve machining.

Its primary use is as a balance weight which is added to the crankshaft of an automotive engine, where the existing counterweight is not large enough to compensate for the weight of the reciprocating and rotating components attached to the crankshaft's connecting rod journals.
Rather than add to the counterweight by welding or fabrication, holes are drilled in structurally safe positions in the counterweights, and "slugs" (cylindrical dowels) of Mallory metal are inserted and fastened securely.

The difference in density between the replacement Mallory metal and the original steel is about 2:1, so the counterweight is heavier without changing its shape or size.

Linear Executable. The Linear Executable (LE) format is a file format for executables, object code, and DLLs designed for 32-bit protected mode operating systems. Originally used by the OS/2 operating system and adopted by various DOS extenders, it also served as the file format for Virtual Device Drivers (VxD) in early versions of Windows, including Windows 3.x and the Windows 9x series. The malleability of LE files attracted interest in using them for steganography.

History 
The LE format was first introduced in the early 1990s during a period of transition from 16-bit to 32-bit computing. It was developed as an extension of the older New Executable (NE) format, which was used for 16-bit applications. Limitations in memory management and addressing led to the development of LE as a 32-bit replacement. LE expanded on NE's functionality by allowing the system to operate in protected mode.

An extended version of the format, called LX, was developed specifically for OS/2 Warp and supported further extensions over the LE format.

Structure 
Files in the LE format begin with an MZ header (the standard DOS executable header) for backward compatibility with DOS systems. Within the MZ header, at offset 0x3C, there is a 32-bit value referred to as the e_lfanewfield, which contains a pointer to the extended header (the LE header). The LE header starts with the ASCII characters LE (or LX  in OS/2 Warp). In Linear Executables, file offsets and structures are typically defined relative to the start of the LE header or as absolute offsets within the file.

Usage 

 OS/2: IBM's OS/2 operating system used the LE format for its executables and DLLs in its 32-bit variants. 
 DOS Extenders: The format was popular among DOS extenders, such as DOS/4GW, which allowed DOS applications to operate in protected mode, bypassing the limitations of real-mode memory constraints.
 Windows VxD Drivers: Windows 3.x and the Windows 9x series used the LE format for Virtual Device Drivers (VxD).

InterMapper. Intermapper is a cross-platform, network monitoring, and network mapping program for Mac, Linux, and Windows. It is produced by Fortra.

The current version of Intermapper comes with a variety of network probes based on ping, SNMP, http and other network protocols used to monitor the state of networked devices and servers. It displays the status of the devices it monitors in maps or lists. For example, the software can monitor the internal state of Apple Inc. Xserves such as fan speed and CPU temperature remotely by using a probe to query the servers. Intermapper can also discover network devices by probing a network, building a map of devices found in each network segment starting from a single IP address. 

Intermapper also supports alarms for devices that have disappeared from the network or which are in a warning state, and can send alerts via email, pager, console alerts, or script execution. The software can be configured to display graphs of performance data stored at variable intervals to show trends. Intermapper can export data for use with Google Earth to show network infrastructure on a map, and provides a web service for display of network status and maps.

As of 2017, Intermapper offered a free 30-day trial to monitor up to 500 devices, as well as a free 10-device version. Subscription pricing is also offered.

Intermapper began as a Macintosh program, and was created at Dartmouth College, supporting monitors via both SNMP and AppleTalk. Dartware was purchased from the original founders in December 2012, by HelpSystems. None of the original founders (William Fisher, Richard Brown, Stuart Pompian) remain.
