Robert Haslam (industrialist). Robert Haslam, Baron Haslam (4 February 1923 in Bolton, Lancashire – 2 November 2002 in Virginia Water, Surrey), was a British industrialist and chairman of British Steel Corporation and British Coal. He was created a Life Peer in 1990.

Education
Haslam was educated at Bolton School and Birmingham University where he gained a first-class degree in mining engineering.

Career
In 1944 was recruited by Manchester Collieries as a trainee, starting as a pit boy and working underground for three years, including eighteen months at the coalface, in a number of Lancashire collieries. He obtained his colliery manager's certificate in June 1947, six months after the coal industry was nationalised.

In October 1947 he joined the technical service department of the Nobel division of Imperial Chemical Industries in Glasgow and spent ten years there. During this time he rose to staff manager of a team of mining engineers and explosive experts working in mines around the world.

In Egypt he blew up the cofferdam to enable building of the Aswan Dam. He also advised on the production of the film The Bridge on the River Kwai on construction and blowing-up of the bridge.

In 1960 he became personnel director of the Nobel division and in 1963 commercial director of the plastics division. He became deputy chairman in 1966 and chairman of the fibres division in 1969. In 1974 he became a member of ICI's main board.

In 1983 John Harvey-Jones became chairman and Haslam left ICI to become chairman of Tate and Lyle. He took over the chairmanship of state-run British Steel Corporation from Ian MacGregor. In 1986 he replaced MacGregor at British Coal which was then in terminal decline.

Having been knighted in 1985, Haslam retired in 1990 and was created a life peer taking the title Baron Haslam, of Bolton in the County of Greater Manchester.

Personal life
He married, first, on 5 June 1947, Joyce Quin (d.1995), a clerk from Bolton on 5 June 1947. They had two sons, Roger (b. 1948) and Nigel (b. 1952). He married, second, on 20 July 1996, Elizabeth Sieff widow of Michael Sieff (d. 1987) former joint Managing Director of Marks & Spencer.

Nobel Fire Systems. Nobel Fire Systems is a business based in Heywood, Greater Manchester in the North West of England specializing in the design, supply, installation and maintenance of fire suppression and fire protection systems. It was formerly part of Nobel Enterprises, a division of the chemicals group Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) but is now independently owned.

History
Nobel Fire Systems was founded in 2003 following a buy out of Nobel Enterprises from ICI by The Reformer Group and Inabata, a Japanese chemical company. As the name suggests the company is one of the many that has its derivations from the explosives site founded in 1870 by the chemist and industrialist Alfred Nobel for the production of dynamite. The site is based in Ardeer, on the west coast of Scotland in Ayrshire, which at its peak employed nearly 13,000 workers.

The production of Nobel Fire Systems core gas generator technology is still manufactured at the site in Ardeer. The business has now diversified and as such offers products that cover all classes of fires, including watermist, gas, wet chemical, dry chemical powder and aerosol based products and specialises in 5 market sectors; catering, marine, industrial, data protection and property. The business employs 23 people and exports its products across the world.

The business works for many of the world's leading companies including the Spirit Group, Hilton, KFC and Holiday Inn, as well as having products that have been installed at such prestigious locations as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and Edinburgh Castle.

Angaur Airstrip. Angaur Airstrip (Japanese: アンガウル飛行場, Hepburn: Angauru hikōjō, ) is a small airstrip on Angaur, one of the islands of Palau. It also served as an airfield during World War II.

History

World War II

The day the island was declared secured on September 20, 1944, construction of the airfield began on the eastern edge of the island. As there was no existing airfield to build on, two Army engineering battalions had to clear jungle and level the terrain to create the airfield. On 19 October 1944 the airfield with its  runway aligned NE/SW together with taxiways and hardstands for 120 aircraft were ready for use.

The 494th Bombardment Group operating B-24J Liberator bombers arrived at Angaur on 16 October and commenced operations on 3 November. The Wing remained at Angaur until June 1945 when it moved to Yontan Airfield on Okinawa.

The 22nd Bombardment Group operating B-24s was based at Angaur from November 1944 until January 1945 when it moved to Guiuan Airfield in the Philippines.

Postwar
In April 2010 the Palau Senate passed a resolution asking the President to offer Angaur airstrip as a site for the relocation of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma on Okinawa.

In 2020 a joint U.S. civil/military team carried out the Angaur Airfield Joint Improvement Project to improve the runway with the work completed by 27 August. The runway improvements give Palau a secondary airfield capable of handling cargo aircraft to back up to Roman Tmetuchl International Airport.

Facilities and aircraft
The airport resides at an estimated elevation of  above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with a gravel surface measuring  by . For the 12-month period ending May 23, 1987, the airport had 1,500 air taxi aircraft operations, an average of 125 per month.

Nanoindenter. A nanoindenter is the main component for indentation hardness tests used in nanoindentation. Since the mid-1970s nanoindentation has become the primary method for measuring and testing very small volumes of mechanical properties. Nanoindentation, also called depth sensing indentation or instrumented indentation, gained popularity with the development of machines that could record small load and displacement with high accuracy and precision. The load displacement data can be used to determine modulus of elasticity, hardness, yield strength, fracture toughness, scratch hardness and wear properties.

Types 

There are many types of nanoindenters in current use differing mainly on their tip geometry. Among the numerous available geometries are three and four sided pyramids, wedges, cones, cylinders, filaments, and spheres. Several geometries have become a well established common standard due to their extended use and well known properties; such as Berkovich, cube corner, Vickers, and Knoop nanoindenters. To meet the high precision required, nanoindenters must be made following the definitions of ISO 14577-2, and be inspected and measured with equipment and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The tip end of the indenter can be made sharp, flat, or rounded to a cylindrical or spherical shape. The material for most nanoindenters is diamond and sapphire, although other hard materials can be used such as quartz, silicon, tungsten, steel, tungsten carbide and almost any other hard metal or ceramic material. Diamond is the most commonly used material for nanoindentation due to its properties of hardness, thermal conductivity, and chemical inertness. In some cases electrically conductive diamond may be needed for special applications and is also available.

Holders
Nanoindenters are mounted on holders which could be the standard design from a manufacturer of nanoindenting equipment, or custom design. The holder material can be steel, titanium, machinable ceramic, other metals or rigid materials. In most cases the indenter is attached to the holder using a rigid metal bonding process. The metal forms a molecular bond with both material be it diamond-steel, diamond-ceramic, etc.

Angular measurements
Nanoindenter dimensions are very small, some less than , and made with precise angular geometry in order to achieve the highly accurate readings required for nanoindentation. Instruments that measure angles on larger objects such as protractors or comparators are neither practical nor precise enough to measure nanoindenter angles even with help of microscopes. For precise measurements a laser goniometer is used to measure diamond nanoindenter angles. Nanoindenter faces are highly polished and reflective which is the basis for the laser goniometer measurements. The laser goniometer can measure within a thousandth of a degree to specified or requested angles.

Very Slender Vessel. A Very Slender Vessel (VSV) is a high-speed, wave-piercing craft. It is designed to give a comfortable ride over long, high-speed transits in high seas.

Normal boats travelling at high speed in rough seas can produce a very uncomfortable ride with g-force as high as 20g. Wave piercing vessels avoid this by going through waves instead of over them, at speeds that can exceed .

Military

North Korea

It was revealed in 2015 that North Korea had under development a VSV attack boat, reported to be deployed on the western side of the Korean peninsula. It was first detected on trials by satellite surveillance late in 2014. The first images of the completed vessel were released by North Korean media in July 2018, after a visit to the Chongjin shipyard by leader Kim Jong-un.

Singapore

The Singapore Army operates VSV craft in special forces units. It was speculated in 2018 that they were to be replaced by new craft.

United Kingdom

VSV craft such as the Royal Marine VSV are used by the Royal Marines and the Special Boat Service.

Ngakawau Hydro Project. The Ngakawau Restoration Project is a proposed hydro scheme planned to divert acid mine drainage from coal mines to an ocean outfall to restore water quality of the Ngākawau River, in the northern section of the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The project is a configuration of the Stockton Plateau Hydro Scheme being developed by Hydro Developments (2013) Limited (the successor to Hydro Developments Ltd following voluntary liquidation). Project information can be found at https://hydrodevelopments.co.nz

In December 2008 Hydro Developments Ltd applied for resource consent for a 60MW hydro scheme (the Stockton Plateau Hydro Scheme) using polluted water from the Stockton Mine. Consent was granted in January 2010. The scheme was expected to reduce acid mine drainage from the mine into the Ngākawau River, and was supported by the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand and other environmental groups.

In February 2010 Solid Energy applied for resource consent for an alternative 49MW plant in the same area using the same resource (the Stockton Hyydro Scheme). In October 2010 both parties announced that they had reached an agreement on using water from the Stockton plateau for hydro-electricity and that they would abandon their respective Environment Court appeals of the others' scheme. Solid Energy's application was rejected in mid-2010, but consent was granted by the Environment Court of New Zealand in May 2012 subject to non-derogation of HDL's consents. Solid Energy went into voluntary administration in August 2015, and the Stockton mine site was eventually sold to Phoenix Coal (Bathurst-Talley Mining Ltd) in 2017.

In November 2019 Hydro Developments (2013) Ltd (HDL) applied for its resource consents to be extended as development of the Stockton Plateau Hydro Scheme was advanced, having been submitted to The Treasury as a long-term solution for managing the government's historic (pre-2017) acid mine drainage liabilities. A decision on the government's preferred solution is not expected until 2024 or until it is clearer when coal mining will cease. The coal mining licenses expire in 2027. The lapsing date for the consents were extended until 2026.
