A. Stephen Morse. A. Stephen Morse (born June 18, 1939) is the Dudley Professor of distributed control and adaptive control in electrical engineering at Yale University.

Early life and education 
Morse was born in Mt. Vernon, New York. He received his B.S. from Cornell University, his M.S. from the University of Arizona, and his Ph.D. from Purdue University.

Allegations 
In March of 2024, three anonymous former faculty members in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department sent a pre-lawsuit notice to the Yale President's Office, alleging multiple instances of sexual harassment and racial discrimination. In December, a heavily redacted version of the notice was released internally to the electrical engineering department, recounting incidents dating back to 2010, but claims that Morse’s behavior has likely persisted for at least two decades.  Morse has denied these claims, writing to the Yale Daily News, "There are many mis-representations of the facts and many statements which are false".

Awards
Morse received the IEEE Control Systems Award and the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award in 1999 and 2013, respectively. Morse was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2002 for contributions to geometric control theory, adaptive control, and the stability of hybrid systems.

Schmidberger v Austria. Eugen Schmidberger, Internationale Transporte und Planzüge v Austria (2003) C-112/00 is an EU law case, concerning the free movement of goods in the European Union.

Facts 
Schmidberger, who ran a trucking company, claimed damages for loss caused by a protest group that had prevented it taking goods to Austria by lorry. Transitforum Austria Tirol organised a demonstration to block the Brenner Autobahn, A13, a transit between Northern Europe and Italy. It did so for 30 hours, in protest against the environment and health problems from the increase in movement of heavy goods on the motorway.

Judgment
The Court of Justice held that Austria's failure to ban the demonstration infringed article 34 and 35 TFEU, and TEU art 4(3). However this was justified by the fundamental right of demonstrators to freedom of expression and assembly under the ECHR, national constitution and principles that were an integral part of EU law. Human rights were a fundamental principle in EU law, and free expression and association among the 'fundamental pillars of a democratic society'. They could only be restricted if 'the restrictions in fact correspond to objectives of general interest and do not, taking account of the aim of the restrictions, constitute disproportionate and unacceptable interference, impairing the very substance of the rights guaranteed.’

Emil Ziehl. Emil Ziehl (1873 – 1 June 1939) was a German engineer and entrepreneur.

He grew up with five other siblings in his father's blacksmith's and cart workshop in Brandenburg, and was supposed to start an apprenticeship in the family business. Due to the drawing talent shown by the young Ziehl, his teacher convinced Ziehl's father to send him to the Rackow Drawing School.

Following his professor's recommendation, he started working at AEG as an engineer. In the development of electro-motors, he pioneered in the messing and testing of generators. In 1897, he began at Berliner Maschinenbau AG, where he developed the first rotor powered by electricity with cardanic suspension and with that the first external rotor motor. The German patent was given in 1904, with the US-patent already granted on 27 November 1900.

With the Swiss investor Eduard Abegg he founded in early 1910 the company Ziehl-Abegg. Ziehl had big expectations for Abegg, who was to develop wind turbines. After the company's logo (with Abegg's name on it) was already made public, Abegg failed to bring the promised funds. The introduced patent for the wind motors also turned out to be unsuitable. Abegg left the company two months later.

Ziehl had three daughters and two sons. The eldest son, Günther Ziehl, was born on 5 September 1913 and the youngest, Heinz, in 1917. Günther Ziehl began his studies in 1935 at the Technische Hochschule in Charlottenburg (now Technische Universität Berlin)] and later led his father's company.

The Schöntal community in Baden-Württemberg acknowledged the work of Ziehl in 2015 naming a street after him. The street is located in Bieringen, a locality of Schöntal where Ziehl-Abegg has a production plant. The street sign was presented on the occasion of the 50-year celebration of production work at Schöntal-Bieringen. The mayor, Patrizia Filz, presented this sign to the grandson of Ziehl, Uwe Ziehl.

Compressorhead. Compressorhead was an animatronic robot band created by Berlin-based artist Frank Barnes and collaborators Markus Kolb, Stock Plum, and John formerly of NoMeansNo, as musical director, songwriter and vocalist.

The six "performers" in the band are all robots made from recycled parts, playing real electric and acoustic instruments and controlled via a MIDI sequencer. The project initially debuted in 2013 with four robots (a guitarist, bassist, drummer and a small drummer's "assistant"), performing covers of famous rock songs. Two more robots (a vocalist and rhythm guitarist) were added to the group in 2017.
In 2023, the entire band was seen in the movie Circus Maximus by rapper and producer Travis Scott. They would assist him while he would perform the song "Sirens" inside the stadium of Circus Maximus in Rome.

History 

The first four robots (Stickboy, Junior, Fingers and Bones) were built between 2007 and 2012 and their first recorded performance was held at the Bülent Ceylan Show on the German RTL television channel in March 2012. Their first performance in front of a live audience was at the 2013 Big Day Out festival in Australia. The band gained initial notoriety on YouTube throughout 2013, uploading videos of classic rock covers from bands such as Motörhead, AC/DC, Pantera and the Ramones.

In early 2013, Barnes recruited John Wright of the Canadian punk band NoMeansNo and The Hanson Brothers as a songwriter and "musical director" for the group. Three songs from this collaboration were released via the band's YouTube page: the original songs "Compressorhead", "Speed Walking Lady" and an instrumental cover of the Hanson Brothers' song "My Girlfriend is a Robot".

In November 2015, the team behind the band started a crowdsourcing campaign on the platform Kickstarter to raise US$290,000 to build a robotic "singer".

In 2017, the band added a vocalist robot, Mega-Wattson (voiced by John Wright), and Hellgå Tarr, a second guitarist, to the band. NoMeansNo members also perform as multi-instrumentalists on Compressorhead's debut album, Party Machine.

Fizir AF-2. The Fizir AF-2, Fizir 85 CV or Fizir-Vega was a two-seat amphibian intended for touring, sport and training.

Design and development

The Fizir AF-2 was an amphibious flying boat with a wood framed, plywood covered, single step hull, stabilized on the water by a pair of sponsons. On its forward upper surface there was a tall, airfoil section, largely vertically sided column containing the cockpit and joining fuselage and the wing centre section.  The cockpit contained two seats in tandem with the pilot in front ahead of the wing leading edge and behind a vertical windscreen. He had two side windows, as did the passenger in the rear. An easily removable cabin top was available and dual controls could be fitted.

The AF-2 had a high, parallel chord, two part wing with straight edges, semi-elliptical tips and about 6° of sweep. It had a largely wooden structure with twin box spars and was fabric covered. The wing was braced on each side with a pair of parallel, backward leaning, faired struts from the tips of the sponsons to the wing spars. A pusher configuration engine was mounted on the rear wing spar within a central rectangular wing cut-out, with its propeller disk immediately behind the wing trailing edge. The AF-2 fitted was an  Walter Vega five-cylinder radial engine, though there were plans to install other types in the  power range. Its fuel tank was between the spars, immediately ahead of the gravity fed engine. 

The empennage was conventional, with a straight edged, blunt topped fin and rudder.  The tailplane, semi-elliptical in plan, was mounted halfway up the fin, braced on each side with a pair of struts from the lower fuselage.  The elevators had a small cut-out for rudder movement. These tail control surfaces were fabric covered steel structures.

For use on land the AF-2 had independently mounted wheels, each between a pair of legs fitted with a shock absorber and hinged on a tube in the leading edge of the sponson.  This arrangement enabled them to be raised by rotation, though still exposed, or lowered in fifteen seconds through a worm gear drive. There was a laminated tailskid.

The AF-2 probably first flew in late 1930 or early in 1931, though the exact date is not known and there are no further contemporary reports of its development in Flugsport or the major French and English journals.

Bowers Landfill. Bowers Landfill, also known as Island Road Landfill, is a former privately owned landfill site covering  near Circleville, Ohio, on the Scioto River floodplain. The site operated between 1958 and 1968. Initially only domestic refuse was accepted, but in 1963 the site began accepting chemical waste from DuPont and PPG Industries. Waste was either dumped on the ground and covered with a layer of soil, or incinerated in the open air. Analysis of surface water undertaken by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 1980 revealed the presence of contaminants and in 1983 the site was added to the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites eligible for long-term remedial action (cleanup) financed under the federal Superfund program. The site was cleaned up in 1993, removed from the NPL in 1997, and is still up for review every five years.

History
The parcel of land on which the landfill was established was purchased by John M. Bowers, a local dental surgeon, in 1957. The following year Bowers began a sand and gravel quarrying operation on the eastern edge of the land adjacent to Island Road. Shortly afterwards, the portion of land between the quarry and the Scioto River was utilized as a landfill, with soil from the quarry used to cover the refuse.

Shaft (mechanical engineering). In mechanical engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a machine which absorbs power.

Types
They are mainly classified into two types.
 Transmission shafts are used to transmit power between the source and the machine absorbing power; e.g. counter shafts and line shafts.
 Machine shafts are the integral part of the machine itself; e.g. crankshaft.
Axle shaft. 
Spindle shaft.

Materials
The material used for ordinary shafts is mild steel. When high strength is required, an alloy steel such as nickel, nickel-chromium or chromium-vanadium steel is used. Shafts are generally formed by hot rolling and finished to size by cold drawing or turning and grinding.

Standard sizes
Source:

Machine shafts
 Up to 25 mm steps of 0.5 mm

Transmission shafts
 25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps
 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps
 110 mm to 140 mm with 15 mm steps
 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps

The standard lengths of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m.

Usually 1m to 5m is used.

Stresses
The following stresses are induced in the shafts.
 Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load).
 Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft.
 Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.

Charles Sykes (metallurgist). Sir Charles Sykes CBE, FRS (27 February 1905 – 29 January 1982) was a British physicist and metallurgist.

He was born in Clowne, Derbyshire, the only son of Samuel Sykes, the local greengrocer and was educated at the Netherthorpe Grammar School and Sheffield University, where he gained a BSc in physics in 1925. He stayed on there to do a PhD course in physics but after one year accepted an invitation by Metropolitan-Vickers of Manchester to complete an unfinished project on the alloys of zirconium. The results of that study earned him a PhD in metallurgy and a position in the research department of Metropolitan-Vickers.

Based on his work on alloys at Metropolitan-Vickers he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1943, his application citation referring to his original investigations into the order-disorder transformation in alloys, the use of x-rays for analysis and his developments of X-ray tubes, continuously evacuated valves and diffusion pumps, and his work on production of hard metals.

During the Second World War he carried out work on armour piercing shells at the National Physical Laboratory and headed the Armament Research Laboratory at the Projectile Development Establishment at Fort Halstead, Kent.

In 1944 he was appointed director of the Brown–Firth research department in Sheffield, contributing his large knowledge of special materials and alloys to the development of high temperature gas turbines. In 1951 he was made managing director of Thomas Firth and John Brown Ltd, becoming deputy chairman in 1962 and chairman in 1964. He retired in 1967.

He was elected President of the Institute of Physics in 1952–4, served as Chairman of the Advisory Council on Research and Development for Fuel and Power from 1965 to 1970, and was a freeman of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, a Sheffield magistrate, and pro-chancellor of Sheffield University (1967–71).

He died on 29 January 1982 at his home in Sheffield. He had married Norah, daughter of Joseph Edward Staton of Clowne, with whom he had a son and a daughter.

Elektronika B3-21. Elektronika B3-21 (Cyrillic: Электроника Б3-21) was the first Soviet programmable calculator. It was released in 1977 and was sold initially for 350 rubles (190 in 1980–1981, and just 80 rubles at late 1981). For comparison, 120 rubles was a monthly engineer's salary. Production was stopped in 1982 because of introduction of more advanced Elektronika B3-34.

Features

 program memory - 60 steps in RAM (no ROM, the code is lost after shut down);
 data memory - 2 operating registers, 7 additional directly addressed registers, 6 loop stack registers;
 accuracy - 8 digits in the Significand(7 if the value includes decimal dot), 2 exponent digits;
 operations - besides 4 arithmetic ones there were 1/x, x2, xy, sqrt(x), exp(x), ln(x), sin(x), cos(x);
 conditional and unconditional branching, subroutine calls;
 speed - 3-5 operations (program steps) per second on average (with xy taking the longest time of about 3 seconds);
 display - red LED seven-segment display, with small lenses in front of each digit (to enlarge the very small LED digits used)
 powered by disc accumulators (4 * 1.25 volts) or charger.

Derived models

 Elektronika MK-46 - desktop version, differed in having 66 steps of program memory, digital inputs for connecting external devices, and output, e.g. for printer (along with functionality to control them);
 Elektronika MK-64 (and later Elektronika MS-1103) - the same as MK-46 but with internal analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) installed so that several analog inputs could be measured (measurements from -9.99 to 9.99 Volts with accuracy of 0.02 Volts);
 Elektronika MK-47 - rare handheld clone of B3-21, allowing the storage of programs on magnetic memory cards.
