SOR NS 18. SOR NS 18 is a low-floor articulated single-decker bus produced by Czech bus manufacturer SOR since 2018. In many towns they will replace Karosa B 741 and Karosa B 941.

Construction features 

SOR NS 18 is derived from the SOR NS 12 rigid single-decker bus. It is made of two rigid sections linked by a pivoting joint. Engine and automatic transmission are located in the left rear corner of the bus. Inside are used plastic Ster seats. Rear axle is VOITH brand, as well as medium axle, the front axle is of its own production with independent wheel suspension. Only third C axle is propulsed, meaning that this articulated bus has pusher configuration. Body of the vehicle is welded from steel-voltage profiles, flashings from the outside and interior are lined with plastic sheeting. The floor of the bus is at a height of 340 mm above the ground. On the right side of the bus are four doors.

In Czechia are also produced trolleybus Škoda 33Tr SOR in Škoda Transportation, which are based on SOR NS 18 bodies.

Production and operation 
In 2018 SOR introduced in Prague on Czechbus. Articulated single-decker bus NS 18 was presented with their prototype after the prototype has done both test drive through cities in Czechia and Slovakia. From May 15 to June 3, 2019, Bratislava became the first to test this bus. From December 6, 2019 to January 31, 2020, Hradec Králové leased this bus for tests.

Ole Johansen Winstrup. Ole Johansen Winstrup (12 August 1782 - 20 December 1867) was a self-taught Danish engineer and inventor.

Early life
Winstrup was born on 12 August 1782 at Winstrup, Holbæk County,  the son of smallholder Johan Hansen (c. 1749–1810) and Anna Hansdatter (c. 1754–93). He moved to Copenhagen in 1799 where he trained as a miller and mill builder. In 1804–11, he served as a Royal Life Guard.

Career

In 181, Winstrup established his own workshop. He acquired the property Mariaslyst at the far end of Vesterbrogade as a new home for his venture which specialized in the manufacture of agricultural machinery.

Winstrup created an eight-volume illustrated work on agricultural machines in 1822-26 (published 1824–26). In this connection he went on a study trip to Germany where he met Johann Gottlob Nathusius in Althaldensleben. He bought one of Nathusiuss's factories and operated it from 1824 to 1928. In 1826, he manufactured a steam engine for a brewery in Copenhagen, notable for being the first steam engine made by a person from Denmark. In 1827, he was licensed to establish an iron foundry in Copenhagen. In 1829 he was also licensed to build a windmill at the site and in 1834 to establish a steam mill.

When the College of Advanced Technology was established in 1829, he was appointed as the first leader of its workshops but left the post again in 1831.

Personal life
Winstrup married Ane Margrethe Hanberg (c. 1784-10 November 1852) on 11 June 1813 in Frederiksberg. He was the father of P. J. Winstrup. He was awarded the Cross of Honour in 1811. He died on 20 December 1867 and is buried at Frederiksberg Cemetery.

1808 submarine

In 1808, Winstrup started to build a model of a propeller-driven submarine that he named ‘Hvalfisken (The Whale)’. It was about ten metres long and could move up and down using propellers connected to axles and cogwheels.

A diver on board the submarine would be able to climb out of and drill holes in the submarine's hull, so the vessel would sink and hence form a barrier against naval attack. Winstrup's patent application was rejected by the patent authorities due to technical shortcomings.

Dale Heatherington. Dale Heatherington (1948 – 2021) was an American electrical engineer and computer scientist best known for helping Dennis C. Hayes in the development of Hayes Microcomputer Products, the company that pioneered the Hayes modem and the Hayes command set.

Although a southern newspaper described him as "just a multimillionaire who likes tracking his cat with a homemade radio transmitter",
 Heatherington's career went beyond the modem company, including work in the area of game robots. Funding for his robotics can be traced to "had his name on all the important patents."

History

Hayes and Heatherington, having met as fellow employees of National Data Corporation, formed a company to facilitate automating the process of dialing a modem. Their offering "happened to be the first modem created for a personal computer." The company is also noted as "the first to integrate its own command set" (known as the Hayes command set).

This automated hardware and software combination contrasted with the work they had performed at National Data, where they handled electronic money transfers and credit card authorizations (manually dialing, using acoustic coupler modems).

A 1981 look at the Hayes firm's internal operation described Heatherington as "technical guru .. provide technical solutions."

Heatherington retired from Hayes Microcomputer in 1985; his share of the firm resulted in receiving $20 million.

The Hayes company's products were superseded by higher speed modems, and Hayes Microcomputer Products went bankrupt in 1998.

Education
Heatherington majored in electrical engineering at Southern Polytechnic State University.
