Volumetric printing. Volumetric printing is a three-dimensional digital-to-physical imaging technology developed in 2013 that uses ink or other pigments suspended in a volume to form a full-color volumetric scene in physical space.  It is a static version of volumetric display.  Volumetric prints are auto-stereoscopic, full parallax (in both horizontal and vertical viewing arrangements) and can be viewed by multiple viewers in regular room lighting. 

A volumetric print can be thought of as a reconstructed light field based on the scattering of light by distributed pigments in volume. Any three-dimensional scene can be volumetrically printed, although biological specimens and volumetrically X-rayed objects (i.e., CT scans) are thought to be particularly well suited to this type of imaging.

Procedure
There are several methods for producing a volumetric print, the most common being an index-matched stack of hundreds of sheets of thin clear material (most often PMMA, also known as Lucite or acrylic).  Each sheet in the volumetric stack is printed with a color slice of a digital 3D model, placed in a vacuum chamber, and then injected with a fluid matching the index of refraction of the sheet material.

Volumetric printing has been called "Hologram 2.0" by a company marketing the technology. Volumetric prints however are not produced in the same manner as holograms, in that there is no interference pattern generated or used in basic volumetric prints.

The course is residential, usually held over five days, and consists of lectures and practicals in topics in image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition. It is intended that the course will complement and extend the material in existing technical courses that many students/researchers will encounter in their early stage of postgraduate training or careers. It aims to broaden awareness of knowledge and techniques in Vision, Image Computing and Pattern Recognition, and to develop appropriate research skills, and for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation. It is open to students from both UK and non-UK universities. The registration fees vary based on time of registration and are in general slightly higher for non-UK students. The summer school has been hosted locally by various universities in UK that carry out Computer Vision research, e.g., Kingston University, the University of Manchester, Swansea University and University of Lincoln.

It has run since the mid-1990s, and content is updated every year. Speakers at the Summer School are active academic researchers or experienced practitioners from industry, mainly in the UK. It has received financial support from EPSRC from 2009 to 2012.

Delegates of the summer school are usually encouraged to bring posters to summer school to present their work to peers and lecturers. A best poster is selected by the summer school lecturers.

BMW 109-558. The BMW 109-558 is a liquid fuelled sustainer rocket motor developed by BMW at their Bruckmühl facility, in Germany during the Second World War.

The 109-558 (with the "109-" prefix being the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, or RLM, designation for  reaction-propulsion aircraft power projects, encompassing all jet & rocket engine designs) was designed as a sustainer rocket for the Henschel Hs 117 surface-to-air missile. It was tubular, measuring  diameter and about  long overall. The engine had a compressed air tank to pressurise tanks for the R-Stoff fuel (50% triethylamine and 50% xylidine) and SV-Stoff oxidiser (94% nitric acid with 6% dinitrogen tetroxide). SV-Stoff was used to cool the combustion chamber.

The 109-558 was capable of propelling an Hs 117 at , with throttle control by sliding valves in the exhaust nozzle, operated by a servomotor controlled by a Mach sensor. Production of the 109-558 took forty to sixty hours using a very high proportion of slave labour.

History 
The Chilime Hydropower Company, also referred to as Chilime, was established in 1995 with the primary goal of generating hydroelectricity by making the most efficient use of hydro resources available within the Nepal

Currently, Chilime possesses and manages a 22.1 MW power plant, which became operational on August 25, 2003. The facility is situated in Rasuwa district, approximately 133 km north of the capital city, Kathmandu. The produced electricity is transmitted to the national grid through a 38 km 66 kV single circuit transmission line. The majority of the powerhouse facilities are located underground, leaving only the switchyard on the surface. The power plant utilizes two horizontal axis Pelton turbines, each with a capacity of 11.28 MW.

The power plant supplies electricity in bulk to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) at a long-term PPA price. It generates an annual energy output of around 150 GWh.

Shareholding 
NEA holds majority ownership with 51% share holding, while the remaining 49% shareholding comes from the general public, including 10 percent equity ownership from local residents. The Chilime project in Nepal was the first to allocate 10 percent of its shares to local communities as part of a benefit-sharing initiative. Residents from all three neighboring villages were eligible to receive these shares.

Humphreys Biplane. The Humphreys Biplane was the first serious attempt to build a flying boat in the United Kingdom. Also known as the Wivenhoe Flyer it was designed by dentist Jack Humphreys; it failed to fly.

Design and development
With the help of Forrestt's boatyard, construction by Humphreys of the biplane started in 1908 near Wivenhoe on the River Colne, Essex. With a span of 45 feet it was a sesquiplane biplane with a single-seat hull. The biplane had a  JAP V8 air-cooled engine which drove two counter-rotating propellers.

The biplane was launched on 3 April 1909 but it turned turtle and sank due to an accident. Recovered and tested again, The Times reported in April 1909 that a further trial was abandoned when the gearing between the engine and the propellers failed. In May 1909 it did manage to skim the water at speed of 12 knots but failed to overcome the drag in the design and failed to fly.
