MicroBooNE. MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. It is located in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) beamline where neutrinos are produced by colliding protons from Fermilab's booster-accelerator on a beryllium target; this produces many short-lived particles (mainly charged pions) that decay into neutrinos. The neutrinos pass through solid ground (to filter out particles that are not neutrinos from the beam), through another experiment called ANNIE, then solid ground, then through the Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND, in construction, expected to begin operation 2023), then ground again before it arrives at the MicroBooNE detector 470 meters downrange from the target. After MicroBooNE the neutrinos continue to the MiniBooNE detector and to the ICARUS detector. MicroBooNE is also exposed to the neutrino beam from the Main Injector (NuMI) which enter the detector at a different angle.

MicroBooNE's two main physics goals are to investigate the MiniBooNE low-energy excess and neutrino-argon cross sections. As part of the Short Baseline Neutrino program (SBN), it will be one of a series of neutrino detectors along with the new Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) and moved ICARUS detector.

MicroBooNE was filled with argon in July 2015 and began data taking. The collaboration announced that they had found evidence of the first neutrino interactions in the detector in November 2015. 
MicroBooNE collected five years of physics data, ending its run in 2021 as the longest continually operating liquid argon time projection chamber to date.

In October 2021 the results of the first three years of operation were reported. Analyses examined the MiniBooNE low-energy excess, one under a single photon hypothesis and under an electron hypothesis. No evidence for either of these explanations was found within MicroBooNE's sensitivity, which is set by the statistics and systematic uncertainty. The Fermilab press release accompanying the results  claimed that the electron hypothesis test dealt "a blow to a theoretical particle known as the sterile neutrino."  However, the accompanying commentary to the MicroBooNE papers, when they were published in Physical Review Letters, was entitled "Neutrino Mystery Endures." The full parameter space of sterile neutrino models hinted at by MiniBooNE and other data remains still under investigation.

Frank Balistreri. Frank Balistreri is a Silicon Valley–based entrepreneur and business owner, founder of digital forms company SigForms, and founder and CEO of automotive sales and marketing company iMOS Consulting.

Career and businesses

Balistreri was hired as Apple Employee No. 142 in 1978, working on the Apple II by developing Apple's first service and parts organizations. Balistreri and Burrell Smith, who was then a Service Technician at Apple, designed the first software to track failures and compile service issues on the Apple II.
In 1979, Balistreri left to join Moore Business Forms Inc, a provider of various forms for business applications. Balistreri designed hundreds of forms and systems for Moore and their partner ASK Computer Systems. Using his experience from these companies, Balistreri left Moore in 1984 to start his first company, SigForms.

SigForms
SigForms was a company focused on creating both paper and electronic forms for business and software applications, and Balistreri was successfully able to develop relationships with software giants such as Oracle, Adobe, Lotus, JetForm and StreamServe Inc. By cultivating these relationships Balistreri was able to quickly grow his company, and in 1999 was named Silicon Valley's 9th fastest growing private company. The most notable distribution of SigForms products occurred when their forms were bundled with Lotus Software's  cc:Mail 7 (distributed to 13 million users) and with Adobe Exchange (distributed to 3 million users). Both these forms were featured in major PC-related publications (the Lotus forms on the cover of PC Week, the Adobe forms in PC Magazine).  This success led to the purchase of SigForms by StreamServe in 1999  (StreamServe was then acquired by Open Text in 2010).

iMOS
After leaving SigForms in 1999, Balistreri retired for several years. During his retirement, Balistreri started a small business that manufactured and sold two minibike models, The Flee and Jonny Freestyle. In 2003, Balistreri saw a need for professional technical services in the automotive industry, since more customers were using the internet to locate car dealerships. Balistreri left retirement and founded iMOS, a business specializing in designing and maintaining websites for automobile dealerships.

Reflector (microsatellite). Reflector (USA-163) is a space debris research microsatellite built in Russia by NII KP for the United States Air Force Research Lab at Kirtland AFB.

There was some confusion about whether or not the USA-163 designation had actually ever been assigned, which stemmed from the fact that more than one microsatellite may fly on a given launch vehicle.  A single modern launch may result in multiple maneuvering spacecraft reaching different final orbits (for example, some CubeSats, and the satellites of SpaceX's StarLink system).

Neutral body posture. The neutral body posture (NBP) is the posture the human body naturally assumes in microgravity. Adopting any other posture while floating requires muscular effort. In the 1980s, NASA developed the Man-System Integration Standards (MSIS), a set of guidelines based on anthropometry and biomechanics, which included a definition of an average typical NBP created from measurements of crew members in the microgravity environment onboard Skylab. Still photographs taken on Skylab of crew members showed that in microgravity, the body assumed a distinguishable posture with the arms raised, the shoulder abducted, the knees flexed with noticeable hip flexion, and the foot plantar flexed.

Later work by NASA based on research aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-57 found greater individual variations between crew members' neutral body positions than originally suggested by the earlier Skylab study. In general, three main postures were exhibited by the crew as a whole. These constituted (1) an almost standing posture, (2) a slightly pitched forward posture with an extreme bend at the knees, and (3) an elongated posture with a straight neck. Differences in posture exhibited in this study could be a result of the athletic bearing of the participants or the type of exercise, or both, and the amount of exercise regularly performed. Other differences may also stem from past physical injuries such as bone breaks and knee or shoulder injuries, and from gender differences such as center of gravity. No single crew member exhibited the typical NBP called out in the MSIS standard.

The neutral body posture occurs during a state of weightlessness and minimizes the body's need to support itself against the pull of gravity. This offloads musculoskeletal stress and reduces pressure on the diaphragm and spine. Neutral body posture supports the natural curvature of the spine. A neutral spine that is not experiencing mechanical stress will curve inward at the neck (cervical region), outward at the upper back (thoracic region), and inward at the lower back (lumbar region).

NASA standards for the neutral body position have informed seat design for commercial vehicle manufacturers. In 2005, engineers and scientists at Nissan Motor Company used NBP research in the development of driver's seats in their new vehicles.

Pipelayer. A pipelayer (or pipe-layer or drain layer) is a skilled tradesman who lays pipe, such as for storm sewers, sanitary sewers, drains, and water mains. Pipelayers may grade (i.e., level) trenches and culverts, position pipe, or seal joints. The Standard Occupational Classification System code for pipelayers is 47-2151.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor estimated that there were 41,080 pipelayers in the United States in May 2014, earning a median hourly wage of $17.38 and a median annual wage of $37,000. (The BLS definition of pipelayer excludes welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers). Pipelayers most commonly work in the utility system construction, building construction, and highway, street, and bridge construction sectors. Among U.S. states, Alabama and North Dakota have the highest concentration of pipelaying jobs.

Pipelayers should not be confused with pipefitters. Both trades involve pipe and valves and both use some of the same tools. However, pipelayers usually work outside, laying pipe underground or on the seabed, while pipefitters typically work inside, installing piping in buildings or ships. One author summarizes the different tasks this way:

Atomic layer etching. Atomic layer etching (ALE) is an emerging technique in semiconductor manufacture, in which a sequence alternating between self-limiting chemical modification steps which affect only the top atomic layers of the wafer, and etching steps which remove only the chemically-modified areas, allows the removal of individual atomic layers.  The standard example is etching of silicon by alternating reaction with chlorine and etching with argon ions.

This is a better-controlled process than reactive ion etching, though the issue with commercial use of it has been throughput; sophisticated gas handling is required, and removal rates of one atomic layer per second are around the state of the art.

The equivalent process for depositing material is atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALD is substantially more mature, having been used by Intel for high-κ dielectric layers since 2007 and in Finland in the fabrication of thin film electroluminescent devices since 1985.

Welding blanket. A welding blanket is a piece of safety equipment designed to protect equipment and the welder while welding. A welding blanket typically consists of a layer of flexible protective material containing unexpanded vermiculite and inorganic heat resistant fibrous material. When contacted by spatter of molten metal during a welding process the material protects the surrounding areas by maintaining the structural integrity of the blanket.  Many modern welding blankets are made of flame retardant fiberglass and can stand working temperatures ranging from 300 to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Historically welding blankets were made of woven asbestos, however due to safety concerns have been widely discontinued.
