Wipaire. Wipaire is a third-generation family-owned American aircraft manufacturing and repair company, best known for its aircraft floats.

History
The company was founded shortly after World War II by Ben Wiplinger, a veteran of the United States Army Air Forces. He returned to his native Minnesota and set up shop at South St. Paul Airport to convert surplus military aircraft (usually transport types; sometimes bombers) into civilian executive aircraft.

Wiplinger was an avid floatplane pilot, and he was familiar with the dominant line of light-aircraft floats of the era, EDO. He sought an EDO dealership, but was turned down. He formed Wipline, Inc. to fabricate his own line of aircraft floats. The production of Wipline floats commenced in 1960, though the first set wasn't sold until 1962. By 2013 the company had delivered over 2000 sets of floats, ranging in capacity from Cubs to Twin Otters. However, along with the manufacture and installation of floats, the company gradually returned to its original role of aircraft servicing, maintenance, modifications, painting and interior completions.

Bob Wiplinger, Ben's son, established Wipaire, Inc. in 1974. Both companies (Wipaire, Inc. and Wipline, Inc.) were combined in 1979 when Bob purchased Wipline, Inc. from Ben. Today, the company president is Chuck Wiplinger, Bob's son and Ben's grandson, who took over the role in 2011.

Until 2013 the company was based entirely in Minnesota. In late January 2013, it opened a floatplane service and repair facility at Leesburg International Airport in Lake County, Florida.

Aerial firefighting modifications
A current example of the company's blended line of offerings is the Fire Boss, an Air Tractor AT-802F that is equipped to provide initial response to industrial or forest fires. Its amphibious floats can scoop 820 gallons of water as the plane flies low over a small lake, then the plane can dump the water on a fire. By January 2013, 50 such units were in service worldwide. As of May 2017, company advertising stated that over 80 units had been delivered and put into service globally.

Aircraft modifications for float installations
In March 2015 Wipaire announced its new modification/re-engining program for existing Cessna 182 landplanes. The company developed a series of engine and propeller replacements, and obtained increases in maximum allowable weights, for the aircraft type. It will either upgrade a customer's existing airplane, or will procure used aircraft on the market and upgrade them for sale on the market.

Airplane floats
As of 2017 the company's aircraft floats are made of aluminum. The company website lists eight different models of floats available for sale, most available in both seaplane or amphibious versions depending upon the needs of the buyer.

IBM 2922. The IBM 2922 Programmable Terminal is a Remote Job Entry (RJE) terminal introduced by IBM in 1972.  The 2922 communicates using Binary Synchronous Communications (Bisync).

The 2922 and associated peripherals were RPQs; that is, special-order equipment not on the standard price list.  The system is a repackaging of an IBM System/360 Model 20 and peripherals for use as a dedicated terminal.

Standard components
The 2922-1 Terminal Control Unit (RPQ 810563) has the same instruction set architecture as the Model 20.  It incorporates 8,192 bytes of 3.6 μs magnetic-core memory. The control unit also contains the Binary Synchronous Communications Adapter (BSCA) integrated into the Terminal Control Unit that supports a single line at speeds up to 7200 bits per second.

The 2922-2 Terminal Printer (RPQ 810564) is a repackaged 1403 printer.  The printer uses a print chain and provides a page width of 132 characters using fanfold paper.  The controls and indicators for the printer are located on the front panel of the Terminal Control Unit, except for a duplicate start key on the rear of the printer.

The 2922-3 Terminal Card Reader (RPQ 810565) is a repackaged 2501, an optical punched card reader for 80-column cards with a rated speed of 500 cards per minute.  The controls and indicators for the card reader are located on the front panel of the Terminal Control Unit.

Optional components
One IBM 2152 printer/keyboard could be attached to an adapter in the Terminal Control Unit.  This device has a selectric print mechanism and resembles the 1052 printer/keyboard used as a console on many System/360 computers.  It operates at 15.5 characters per second.

One IBM 1442 Model 5 card punch could be attached to an adapter in the Terminal Control Unit.  The 1442 can punch 80-column cards at a rate of 91 cards per minute if all 80 columns are punched.

Software
The 2922 has no disk; however, magnetic core has the property of retaining programs loaded from cards through power on-off cycles.

IBM supplied a remote job entry program for the 2922 as Type 2 Field Developed Program (FDP).

DOS/VS POWER Workstation Support for the IBM 2922 (FDP 5198-BBY) handles communication with a DOS/VS system using POWER software for remote job entry.

Users
In 1974 Computerworld reported that the State of Mississippi was using six 2922 terminals to communicate with a central System/370 Model 145.

The Catalan Institute for Water Research. The Catalan Institute for Water Research (ICRA-CERCA) (; ) is a research institute dedicated to studying the water cycle, hydraulic resources, water quality and treatment and evaluation technologies, which is located at the Parc Cientific i Tecnologic de la Universitat de Girona,  Girona, Spain. ICRA was created in 2006 by the Government of Catalonia and the University of Girona. 
The research conducted at ICRA covers all aspects related to water, with a particular focus on its sustainable use and the impacts of human activity on water resources. The institute is especially committed to investigating and mitigating the effects of drought, while also addressing issues of water quality, treatment, and reuse, with a strong emphasis on the Mediterranean region.

Research Areas

Resources and Ecosystems 

This research area investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of water resources and its potential effects, especially on the structure and function of continental aquatic ecosystems.

Special emphasis is given to irregularities in water resources and the effects of land use and climate change on resources and ecosystems, particularly in the Mediterranean area.

Water Quality & Safety 

This research area is dedicated to offering comprehensive and effective solutions to the water quality challenges, particularly in the Mediterranean region. By assessing water quality—considering chemical, microbiological, and ecotoxicological factors—this approach identifies the essential tools for the efficient management and conservation of water bodies.

The primary objective of this area is to characterize the concentrations, fate, and mechanisms of action of chemical pollutants and waterborne pathogens, both in aquatic environments and in engineered systems, such as drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and reuse systems.

State-of-the-art chemical and microbiological analytical methods are being applied to assess the quality and characteristics of surface waters, groundwater, and treated water, including both drinking water sources and wastewater. The impacts of chemical and microbiological pollutants are evaluated through the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment.

Technologies and Evaluation 

This research area develops and evaluates methodologies and technologies for optimizing resources, energy efficiency, and cost minimization of processes related to the urban water system.

These objectives are achieved through the application of emerging, resource-optimization technologies of water supply, wastewater treatment, reclamation, and reuse. This area has an integral perspective of the integrated processes involved, from the river to human consumption and back to the system. The development of technologies is related to those best available but not entailing an excessive cost, while striving to achieve resource consumption reduction and optimization, related to water scarcity and improvement of the final product.

Globe KD6G Firefly. The Globe KD6G Firefly is an American target drone, built by the Globe Aircraft Corporation for operation by the United States Navy during the 1950s and early 1960s.

Design and development
The design of the KD6G was based on the earlier Globe KD2G Firefly target drone, featuring a mid-wing configuration with a twin-fin empennage, but instead of a pulsejet powerplant as in the KD2G the KD6G was fitted with a single piston engine in a tractor configuration. Launched via catapult, the KD6G was radio-controlled during flight, and, if it was not shot down in the course of its mission, would be recovered via parachute.

Operational history
First flying in prototype form in 1951, the KD6G proved successful and was ordered into production in two forms, the KD6G-1 with a McCullough O-100 engine, and the KD6G-2 with a Kiekhaefer V-105 powerplant. Used extensively by the United States Navy during the 1950s in the gunnery training role, the KD6G-2 was redesignated in 1963 in the new unified missile sequence, becoming the MQM-40A before being retired soon thereafter.

South Airlines Flight 8971. On 13 February 2013, a Ukrainian Antonov An-24 passenger aircraft operating South Airlines flight 8971 crashed on landing at Donetsk International Airport, Ukraine, killing 5 of the 52 people on board.

Flight Crew 

The crew of the flight consisted of: 

Captain - Sergey Nikolaevich Melashenko 

First Officer - Oleg Smirnov

Flight Engineer - Roman Korol

Navigator - Sergei Xlopcev

Accident
At 18:09 Kyiv Time, after an internal flight from Odesa to Donetsk, the plane missed the runway as it made a hard landing at Donetsk International Airport. Five passengers were confirmed dead. After touchdown the aircraft had burst into flames, however, most occupants were evacuated because they were able to escape from the burning aircraft through a hole in the fuselage left by the crash. Eyewitnesses have stated that the aircraft was attempting to land in dense fog and touched down on soft ground between the main runway and the taxiway, other observers reported the aircraft touched down short of the runway, on soft ground. According to flight documentation on board were 36 passengers and 7 crew members; but there were also several unregistered passengers making the total of people on board 52.

All 44 passengers were football fans on their way to the match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Dortmund. This match opened with a minute of silence in memory of the deceased.

The aircraft was built in 1973.

Investigation
Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Officer Volodymyr Vyshynsky is in charge of the inquiry which was opened the day after the crash. On 14 February 2013 investigators considered pilot error, faulty ground support equipment and poor weather conditions as possible causes. The plane's pilot blamed bad weather for the accident; while the plane's operator, South Airlines, stated that the plane was in good condition and the pilot should not have landed in the fog and should have diverted to another airport. One passenger mentioned "engine failure during landing".

Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Vilkol stated that the cause for the crash was a loss of speed by the aircraft during landing approach due to an error of the unprepared crew, which had no clearance to make the flight in those weather conditions. The Ministry of Transport reported that at the Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) the crew did not establish visual contact with the approach lights or runway, the commander then reduced the rate of descent however did not communicate a decision to go-around or continue the approach to his crew. The aircraft slowed to below the minimum control speed, rolled to 48 degrees of bank and impacted ground right wing first.

Landing Craft (Gun) Tower. Landing Craft (Gun) Tower, abbreviated as LC(G)T, also known as the Normandy Bombardment Tower, was a unique catamaran built in 1943. It was designed to act as a semi-mobile gun tower which could be used to out-gun any German beach defences during the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944.  It is described in some sources as a "semi-submersible austerity inshore monitor".

Several were originally planned, but only one was built as the design had been superseded by the various other support craft in production, such as the Landing Craft Tank (Rocket).

HMS LC(G)T 1 was never used, and was sold post-war to a company in Hong Kong, who used it as a lifting craft.
