AG für Akkumulatoren- und Automobilbau. AG für Akkumulatoren- und Automobilbau was a Prussian German automobile manufacturer based in Wedding (Berlin), Ofenerstrasse and founded by Alex Fischer who built electric powered automobiles from 1919 to 1922 under the brand name AAA (not related to the French brand of the same name).

History
From 1922, the electric vehicles were given the brand name Elektric. In the same year, the company started the production of small cars with gasoline built-in engines. These were distributed under the name Alfi.

The factory was founded in 1919 as Automobil- und Akkumulatorenbau GmbH for electric vehicles. In 1920, the name was changed to Auto- und Akkumulatorenfabrik Aktiengesellschaft (AAA), which remained in place until 1922.

The commercial vehicle factory for electric vehicles, which existed until 1925, was continued from 1922 with the company name Aktiengesellschaft für Akkuulatoren- und Automobilbau.

AAA was the first German company to build four-wheel drive cars. Production ended in 1925 when the company went bankrupt.

This well-known commercial vehicle factory is often confused with the accumulator factory AG, which was also located in Berlin, Asländischer Platz 3 from 1918 to 1936. Electric vehicles with a payload of 1.5 to 2 tons were also manufactured there under the Afa brand, which were used as milk trucks, among other things.

Vehicles
Vans and parcel delivery vans were produced for a payload of 0.6 to 2 tons. These commercial vehicles were equipped with an 8.5 hp electric motor, which was installed swinging in the spring-loaded frame with the front. The range of the two built types was 60 km.

The type AAA had as a van a short bonnet, which rose diagonally. The spoke wheels were covered with solid rubber and the body was manufactured as required. Some of the electric vehicles had a front-facing windshield on the passenger side, the cab side was open.

Another commercial vehicle was the type AGA.

HyImpulse. HyImpulse is a German private space launch enterprise headquartered in Neuenstadt am Kocher and developing a small launch vehicle designed around hybrid-propellant rockets. The company is a DLR spinoff founded in 2018 out of the chemical propulsion center of the German space agency's Lampoldshausen facility. HyImpulse is bankrolled by Rudolf Schwarz, chairman of German technology company IABG.

The company is developing a three-stage hybrid rocket designed to transport to LEO satellites of up to 500 kg named SL1. The company is also developing the suborbital SR75 launch vehicle. SR75 is 12-metre-long and 2.5-tonne mass single-stage rocket which is planned to transport small payloads weighing up to 250 kg to an altitude of around 250 km. This smaller rocket will serve both as the company's first commercial service and as a technology demonstrator for SL1. In particular, the SL1 uses 12 of the same engines as SR75 (8 of those on the first stage).

On 28 July 2023, the United Kingdom's UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) granted HyImpulse permission to launch its SR75 rocket for the first time from SaxaVord Spaceport in Scotland between 1 December 2023 and 30 November 2024. Although SaxaVord is yet to receive its spaceport licence, the CAA has confirmed that the spaceport will not need the licence to host the suborbital SR75 flight due to the 47-kilometre max altitude being targeted and the size of the rocket's engine. However, in November 2023 it was announced that the SR75 maiden flight will take place in March 2024 from the Koonibba Test Range in Australia, operated by Southern Launch. On 3 May 2024, the SR75 launched on its maiden flight (mission titled "Light this Candle") from the Koonibba Test Range, the ascent was successful. The rocket reached an apogee of 50 kilometers and parachuted back to ground and was recovered.

The hybrid rocket engine uses a paraffin-based fuel and liquid oxygen. On 4 September 2023 HyImpulse completed its ninth hot fire test campaign. With the successful completion of the testing, HyImpulse qualified its HyPLOX-75 hybrid rocket motor for flight. The motor will be used aboard the SR75 and SL1 first and second stages.

Indane-1,2,3-trione. Indane-1,2,3-trione is the organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO)3.  The compound is the dehydrated derivative of C6H4(CO)2C(OH)2, known as ninhydrin, which is used to reveal fingerprints. 

Indane-1,2,3-trione, which reacts readily with nucleophiles (including water). Whereas for most carbonyl compounds, a carbonyl form is more stable than a product of water addition (hydrate), ninhydrin forms a stable hydrate of the central carbon because of the destabilizing effect of the adjacent carbonyl groups.

To generate the ninhydrin chromophore (2-(1,3-dioxoindan-2-yl)iminoindane-1,3-dione), the amine must condense to give a Schiff base. The reaction of ninhydrin with secondary amines gives an iminium salt, which is also coloured, generally being yellow–orange.

Seaward 24. The Seaward 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 1984.

Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 1984, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seaward 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the centerboard extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee berth in the main cabin plus a convertible double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink, with a refrigerator optional. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is .

For sailing the design may be equipped with a jib, storm jib or 150% genoa.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 261 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "... the accommodations plan of the Seaward 24 shows both a gimballed stove with oven and space for a refrigerator (though ... a refrigerator is somewhat impractical on an outboard powered sailboat because of the electrical drain on the batteries, which would require many hours of charging with the noise and smell of a running engine). Best features: Her relatively low freeboard and springy sheer give the Seaward 24 a sleek and salty look, as if she is ready for whatever challenges the sea might bring to her. She is well-built to boot, and with her generous sailplan and long waterline for her size has a better than even chance of satisfying the requirements of experienced sailors. Worst features: None noted."

She worked in several companies, where she worked at the managerial level on information systems and databases (Lidové noviny, Czech Environmental Inspectorate, Scio, civic association Hestia). Since 2006, she has been the vice-chairwoman of the Krocan initiative in Prague 9, where she focuses on green protection, civic events and territorial development.

Dana Balcarová has lived in Prague since 1979.

Political influence
In the municipal elections in 2014, she ran as a non-partisan for the Pirate Party in the Prague City Council, but failed. At the same time, however, she was elected a representative of the Prague 9 district, as a non-partisan for the Greens on the candidate of the SZ Troika Coalition, KDU-ČSL, NK. In the elections in 2018, she no longer defended the mandate of the district representative.

In 2015, she became a member of the Pirate Party. In the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in 2017, she was elected a second-place candidate in Prague.

Following her election as a Member of Parliament, she was elected Chair of the Environment Committee in November 2017. She considers climate change and sustainable development to be his profile topics in particular. In 2021, the deputy did not defend her mandate. The daily Referendum was Dana Balcarová as one of the Czech personalities of 2019.

In the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in 2021, she ran as a member of the Pirates in 12th place as a candidate of the Pirates and Mayors coalition in Prague, but she was not elected. She thus failed to defend her mandate.

Sir Michael Uren Hub. The Sir Michael Uren Hub is a 13-storey building on the north side of the elevated A40 Westway in London, designed by Allies and Morrison for the purpose of Imperial College's biomedical engineering research. It contains a 160-seat auditorium, social space, cleanrooms, and futuristic outpatients. It is named for engineer Sir Michael Uren and built using his engineered cement substitute, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS).

It houses the School of Public Health's Environmental Research Group, the Musculoskeletal Laboratory (MSk lab) and the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI).

Location
The Sir Michael Uren Hub is situated on Wood Lane, Shepherd's Bush, London. To its north is a 34-storey tower, to its east is an incubator building, and to its south is an elevated section of the A40 Westway.

History
In 2014 Imperial College London announced that it was to build a biomedical engineering centre supported by a £40 million donation from Sir Micheal Uren and his foundation, at Imperial West, the College's 25-acre research and innovation campus in White City, west London. The purpose was to house Imperial's biomedical and healthcare researchers, engineers, scientists and clinicians, along with spin-out companies, in one building.

Work on the site began in January 2017. It officially opened in December 2020.

Design
The 13-storey Hub was designed by architects Allies and Morrison, and the project was managed by Turner & Townsend, with mechanical and engineering consultants Buro Happold. Autodesk Revit provided the CAD software, and the building was inspected by Bureau Veritas. ISG Ltd was the contractor.

Structural features
The building has a triangular base and covers 18,150 square metres. It has two long sides, covered in 1,300 GGBS containing four metre high vertical precast concrete fins, of which there are nine types. GGBS, a waste by-product of coal-fired power stations, was developed by Uren's company as a substitute for cement which produces a fraction of the carbon emissions. The fins act to shade from the sun.

It contains a 160-seat auditorium, social space, cleanrooms, and futuristic outpatients. It houses the School of Public Health's Environmental Research Group led by Frank Kelly, the MSk Lab led by Justin Cobb and Alison McGregor, the Dementia Research Institute, the Centre for Cardiovascular Bioengineering, and 20 companies. Members of the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) occupy space on the ninth floor.

It has space for functions and exhibitions in the main entrance, adjacent to the ground floor cafe. The auditorium and its foyer on the lower ground floor can be accessed via the main entrance and the research floors above can be accessed via secure entry. A discrete second entrance near a vehicle drop-off - pick-up point serves the clinical facility. There are toilets on all floors.
