Virtway. Virtway is a game development studio located in Oviedo, Spain. It was founded in 1999 as a general IT consulting firm. In 2006 Virtway spun off from its parent company to focus on 3D development and video games as an independent branch of the Indigo Group holding.

Overview 

The main focus of the company has been developing a simulation system to allows learning through gaming, called VTS (Virtual Training System). The platform was presented at the 2008 Games + Learning + Society conference in partnership with Robb Lindgren from Stanford University. The company's products are applied to several areas of training, such as Firefighting and Iron/Steel Industry.

Virtway has collaborated through the Índigo Group with the University of Oviedo and Stanford University in different research and development projects.

Products 
Molina Digital was the first large-scale 3D project developed by Virtway. It re-created a Spanish town (Molina de Segura, Murcia) and enabled users to chat, drive cars and play Pétanque through a Web browser.

Part of the Molina Digital project was the development of an interactive theatre application where users could take a role in a virtual play. Each user handled an avatar on stage and controlled its body language and facial expression while talking with other players. Everything was recorded by another user, the director, who edited the footage later, in a way similar to a machinima production.

The regional government of Asturias contracted Virtway to develop a 3D virtual visit to the city of Llanes, so Virtway produced a website where users can visit said town in 3D using x3d technology and a port of the landmarks to Google Earth KML models.

Videogames 

Virtway started the development of a project called Born To Run in 2004 and presented it in late 2006. It aimed to be one of the first First Person Shooters with photo-realistic graphics made in Spain, and slated to hit next-gen systems (PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360). There has been no more information about the game since its announcement, and it is now considered to be vaporware.

On 6 October 2008, Virtway entered into a partnership with ICYou, a Swedish company, to further develop their Interactive City platform, a persistent virtual world with tie-ins to the real world of its players through a blend of the virtual and real economy.

Union Giesserei Königsberg. Union Giesserei (German: Union Gießerei) was a German engineering company based in Königsberg, East Prussia.

History

From a Königsberg merchant family, Maria Schnell married an English-born founder Charles Hughes, and in 1826 bought a silver refining business. Her brother , together with his brothers-in-law Friedrich Laubmeyer and Carl August Dultz, established an iron foundry, run by Hughes, on 1 May 1828, which was named Union Giesserei in 1845. In 1846 Union Giesserei employed an engineer, Johann Gottfried Dietrich Wilhelm Ostendorff (5 April 1812 - 23 September 1876), who had gained experience of locomotive and marine steam engines and boilers in Britain, and broadened the business in those directions. Ostendorff also married a daughter of Gustav Schell, and became the sole managing partner in 1852.

In 1855, Union Giesserei launched its first steamship Schnell on 5 June, and on 5 December delivered its first steam locomotive, built for the Prussian Eastern Railway. On Ostendorff's death in 1876,  (16 November 1840 - 30 March 1910), who had previously worked for August Borsig in Berlin, took over the firm. It was changed from a public trading company to an Aktiengesellschaft (A.G.), or public limited company, on 2 June 1881. The board was now run by Radok and Ostendorff's son, Arthur (18 May 1850 - 24 July 1891). When Elias Radok died, the factory was taken over by senior engineers, Georg Panck and Paul Fischer, together with the master builder, Max Hartung. Paul Fischer left in 1920 due to illness, Georg Panck died in 1923 and Max Hartung took over the helm until the arrival of Dr. Paul Brehm in November 1925.

Union Giesserei did not get any contracts from the newly formed Deutsche Reichsbahn and negotiations with the Reichsbahn proved largely fruitless. This led to severe economic problems in the company during the mid-1920s. In 1927, however, Union Giesserei was finally given orders for the construction of the DRG Class 64 and 80 steam locomotives as part of the 'eastern regions aid' (Ostlandhilfe) scheme. The shipyard fared better as the German authorities had a strategic interest in maintaining shiprepairing capability in the East. However in 1930 Union Giesserei was declared bankrupt, and from 17 March it became a subsidiary of the F. Schichau GmbH. The shipyard was fully integrated in the Schichau group in 1931, came under Soviet control in 1945 and later became the Russian-owned Yantar Shipyard.

Besat-class submarine. The Besat () is an upcoming class of attack submarine under construction by Iran.

History 
On 25 August 2008, Iranian defence minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar announced Iran had started building the first submarine of the class named Qaaem, which will be capable of carrying and firing various types of torpedoes and undersea missiles. Since 2012, Iranian officials have not mentioned Qaaem class and it is unclear whether it has been further developed, or has turned into Besat project.

On 25 April 2023, Iranian Navy commander announced that the first Besat class submarine will likely join the navy in 1 or 2 years. He also said the submarine will be equipped with Surface-to-surface and Surface-to-air missiles as well as torpedoes.

Lioré et Olivier LeO 21. The Lioré et Olivier LéO 21 was a 1920s French biplane airliner and later military transport based on the earlier LéO 20 night bomber.

Development
First flown in August 1929 the LéO  21 was a twin-engined biplane airliner with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It retained the basic structure of the LéO 20 night bomber but with a new wider fuselage. It had room for six passengers in a nose cabin and a further 12 passengers in the main cabin with an open cockpit for the pilot.

The second LéO 21 was fitted with two 450 hp (336 kW) Renault 12Ja engines and re-designated as a LéO 212. It was converted by the Wagons-Lits company as a dining aircraft. The first LéO 21 became an avion-bar in 1929 and was re-designated LéO 211; it was later modified in 1931 with Renault engines as the LéO 213. One aircraft was produced as the LéO 21S fitted as a 10-stretcher ambulance. The first production LéO 213 was built in 1928 and a total of eleven were built and operated by Air Union on routes from Paris to London, Lyons, Marseilles and Geneva. The LéO 213 had an increased wingspan, improved sound proofing and three baggage holds. When modified for night services they were re-designated as LéO 213N. In 1934 all the surviving LéO 213s were bought by the Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) and were converted to transports for 14-troops on bench seats and re-designated LéO 214.

Process-centered design. Process-centered design (PCD) is a design methodology, which proposes a business centric approach for designing user interfaces. Because of the multi-stage business analysis steps involved right from the beginning of the PCD life cycle, it is believed to achieve the highest levels of business-IT alignment that is possible through UI.

Purpose 
This method is aimed at enterprise applications where there is a business process involved. Unlike content oriented systems such as websites or portals, enterprise applications are built to enable a company's business processes. Enterprise applications often have a clear business goal and a set of specific objectives like- improve employee productivity, increase business performance by a certain percent, etc.

Comparison between other popular UI design methods 
Although there are proven UI design methodologies (like the most popular "user-centered design", which helps design highly Usable Interfaces), PCD differentiates itself by precisely catering to business process intensive software which has not been the case with other UI design methodologies.

Process-UI alignment 
Process-UI alignment is a component of PCD, which ensures tight alignment between the business process and the enterprise application being developed.  UI design activities are affected by PCD. 

For example: A call center software used by a customer support agent, if designed for high process-UI alignment will achieve tremendous agent productivity improvement and call center performance; which is not likely to be seen if it were designed only for user satisfaction, ease of use, etc.

Macchi M.5. The Macchi M.5 was an Italian single-seat fighter flying boat designed and built by Nieuport-Macchi at Varese. It was extremely manoeuvrable and agile and matched the land-based aircraft it had to fight.

Development
The first prototype of a single-seat sesquiplane fighter was the Type M which first flew in 1917. Developed by engineers Buzio and Calzavera it had a single-step hull and an open cockpit forward of the wings and was similar to the earlier Macchi M.3. It was followed by another prototype with a revised tail unit designated the Ma and further developed as the M bis and Ma bis. The production aircraft was designated the M.5 and like the prototypes was powered by a single Isotta Fraschini V.4B engine in pusher configuration. Deliveries soon commenced in the summer of 1917 to the Aviazione per la Regia Marina (Italian Navy Aviation). Late production aircraft had a more powerful Isotta Fraschini V.6 engine and redesigned wingtip floats, they were designated M.5 mod. Macchi produced 200 aircraft and another 44 were built by Società Aeronautica Italiana.

Operational history
During World War I, the M.5 was operated by five Italian maritime patrol squadrons as a fighter and convoy escort, and some were embarked on the Regia Marina seaplane carrier Giuseppe Miraglia. Towards the end of World War I, M.5 aircraft were flown by both United States Navy and United States Marine Corps airmen. For his actions while flying an M.5 over the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Austria-Hungary on 21 August 1918, U.S. Navy Ensign Charles Hammann, an enlisted pilot at the time, received the first Medal of Honor awarded to a United States naval aviator.

In 1923, when the Regia Aeronautica was formed, 65 M.5s were still in service, although they all had been scrapped within a few years.

Fire rake. A fire rake is a wildland fire fighting tool. A fire rake has a wooden or fiberglass handle with a rake head consisting of four to six sharp, serrated, triangular steel blades. It is used to rake a fire break with the sharp teeth, enabling it to reach fire in undergrowth in addition to loose surface debris. It is also used to break apart vegetation for access by other implements. A McLeod, which is sometimes called a rake hoe, is a similar tool whose rake portion looks more like a steel rake but with sharp edges on the teeth. The teeth of the more traditional fire rake which resemble the teeth of a great white shark allow it to penetrate deeper into the undergrowth when necessary. The preference for one implement over the other is somewhat subjective.

A fire fighter will rake burning material back into the (black) area already burned, moving the fire away from the fuel ahead of it to create a fire break. The burning material is left to burn itself out away from the edge of the fire line, or another fire fighter with a fire flapper will smother it if required. The tool will cut through any undergrowth that may be burning and overturn some soil, further assisting in creating a fire break, thus smothering fire. This can reduce the temperature of burning materials below their threshold of ignition.

Tractor-drawn fire rakes were developed in the 1950s to aid in the working of fire breaks.

USNS De Steiguer. USNS De Steiguer (T-AGOR-12) was a Robert D. Conrad-class oceanographic research ship acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1966. She was a Navy pool vessel assigned to Naval laboratories until she was transferred to the Tunisian Navy in 1992.

Built in Portland, Oregon
De Steiguer was built by the Northwest Marine Iron Works, Portland, Oregon. She was laid down on 12 November 1965 and launched on 21 March 1966 and turned over to the Navy on 28 February 1969, as USNS De Steiguer (T-AGOR-12).

Oceanographic service
De Steiguer was a U.S. Navy oceanographic research ship assigned to support Naval laboratories. De Steiguer was one of two AGOR ships, the other was Bartlett (T-AGOR 13), assigned as pool vessels for west coast Naval laboratory use according to a 1970 report. Bartlett and De Steiguer were assigned to the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office for operation.

Inactivation
On 2 November 1992 De Steiguer was approved under the terms of the Security Assistance Program for a transfer to Tunisia, where she now serves the Tunisian Navy as Salammbo (A-701).

Note
There is no information on De Steiguer in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships.

Bristol Bullet. The Bristol Type 32 Bullet was a British biplane racing aircraft. It was designed in 1919 by Frank Barnwell as a high-speed testbed for the Jupiter engine being developed in Bristol by Roy Fedden for the Cosmos Engineering company, and also to publicise the company's name by participating in air races.

The Bullet was a  conventional single-seat biplane with single-bay wings of thin low-drag section braced by N struts.  The fuselage was a wooden four-longeron structure faired to a circular section.

The finished airframe, fitted with a dummy engine, was exhibited at the Paris Aero Salon in December 1919 but an engine did not become available until June 1920, when the aircraft was first flown, piloted by Cyril Uwins. It was entered in the Aerial Derby in July  of that year;  its performance in the race was disappointing, and it was substantially modified, with a new cowling, a large hemispherical spinner, and wings of greatly reduced span and gap.  By the time the modifications were complete Cosmos had gone bankrupt and the aero-engine business had been bought by Bristol, and the Bullet was used for the task of accumulating the necessary flight hours  for the Jupiter to gain Air Ministry type approval, a job it shared with the Bristol Badger.

The  modified Bullet's  maximum speed was increased to , and it finished fourth in the 1921 Aerial Derby at an average speed of 141 mph (227 km/h).    
A more powerful 380 hp (280 kW) Jupiter II engine was fitted, and, piloted by Rollo A. de Haga Haig, came second in the 1922 Aerial Derby, at an average speed of 145 mph (233 km/h), beaten only by the Gloster Mars (which had also won the 1921 race
It was entered for the 1923 Aerial Derby and Kings Cup races, but following the death of Leslie Foot, the intended pilot,  flying the Bristol M.1D in the Grosvenor Cup race, Bristol withdrew from racing and the Bullet was retired, and eventually scrapped in 1924.
