She may have been equipped with two 40-tube 122 mm rocket launchers. As Teluk Berau, the ship are rearmed with one single Bofors 40 mm L/60 gun, one twin V-11 37 mm L/63 guns, and two twin 2М-3 25 mm autocannons.

Service history
Eberswalde-Finow was built by VEB Peenewerft, Wolgast. The ship was laid down on 10 September 1975, launched on 15 July 1976 and was commissioned to Volksmarine on 28 May 1977. Following the reunification of Germany, Eberswalde-Finow was deleted on 1 October 1990 and was formally decommissioned from Volksmarine on 2 October. The unified German Navy didn't take over the ship and she was laid up with her pennant number painted over at Peenemünde Naval Base, awaiting her disposal as scrap metal.

Indonesian Navy acquired the ship on 25 August 1993 as part of warship procurement program headed by the then State Minister for Research and Technology, B. J. Habibie, as the Coordinator of the Procurement Team. The procurement program was based on the Presidential Instruction No. 3/1992 issued by President Suharto on 3 September 1992 which aimed to bolster the Navy capabilities. Prior to sailing for Indonesia, she was refitted and demilitarized in Germany. The ship arrived in Indonesia in 1995 and she was commissioned as KRI Teluk Berau (534) on 10 March 1995.

Teluk Berau was decommissioned on 28 September 2012 in a ceremony at Surabaya Naval Base. The ship was sunk as target by a Yakhont missile launched from  during Exercise Armada Jaya XXXI on 13 October 2012 at Celebes Sea. In a press release by Director of Public Relations of the Directorate General of State Assets Management Tavianto Noegroho on 10 April 2013 stated that Teluk Berau and  has been approved for destruction as target ships due to heavy damage that were uneconomical to repairs.

Laundry-folding machine. A laundry-folding machine or laundry-folding robot is a machine or domestic robot which folds apparel such that they can be stored compactly and orderly.

A laundry folding machine can be a part of or integrated with a washing machine, clothes dryer, ironing machine and/or wardrobe. Some operate these processes autonomously, while other require varying degrees of manual intervention.

Industrial use 

For industrial use, there are several types of laundry folding machines in different sizes and varieties, of which some are very specialized for certain types of clothing, or very large to be able to fold large textiles such as bedding.

Domestic use 
There have been several attempts to produce commercial clothes folding machines for home use. 

FoldiMate was an American company founded in 2010, which presented a prototype of a clothes folding machine first in 2016, then at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2017, and an updated prototype at CES in 2018. The garments had to be manually fed into the machine from top one at a time, and after a few minutes the user could pick up ready-made clothes at the bottom. Their goal was for FoldiMate to enter the market by the end of 2019,
 but in July 2021 it became clear that the company would cease its operations.

Laundroid was a Japanese combined washing and folding machine that aimed at being able to wash, dry, iron and fold clothes, and then transport them to an integrated wardrobe - completely autonomously, with an estimated working duration being overnight. It was first shown at the consumer electronics exhibition show CEATEC in 2015, and was marketed as the world's first robot that could wash and fold clothes. The goal was for Laundroid to enter the market in 2017 (later adjusted to 2019), but in 2019 the company behind Laundroid, Seven Dreams, announced that they had gone bankrupt. The development had been supported by amongst others Daiwa House and Panasonic.

Hawthorne–El Nido Line. Hawthorne–El Nido was a line of the Pacific Electric Railway. It initially hosted local services between Hawthorne and El Nido, though services were eventually routed through to Downtown Los Angeles and as far south as Clifton and Redondo Beach.

History
The route was constructed by Los Angeles and Redondo Railway in 1902. Service was operating between Los Angeles and Redondo Beach by September 22. That line was split up after the Great Merger of 1911, with the segment between Hawthorne and El Nido going to the Pacific Electric and the tracks north of Hawthorne becoming the Los Angeles Railway E Line. The PE segment was converted to standard gauge the following year. Between 1914 and 1916, some trips were through-routed to El Segundo on the north end. As that ended, the line began to see service through to the Pacific Electric Building via Watts and Delta interspersed with a complicated schedule of other routings. At that time, select trips made the full run from Los Angeles to Clifton over the Hawthorne–El Nido segment with most trips being short turns at South Los Angeles. By 1931, all trips were running the length from Los Angeles to Redondo or El Nido. Service ceased after October 25, 1933, and more service was directed to the Redondo Beach via Gardena Line to serve Delta-area passengers.

Neeff's wheel. Neeff's wheel, also known as the Blitzrad (German: "lightning wheel" or "spark wheel") is a historical electrical apparatus. It is a kind of contact breaker, designed to interrupt an electrical circuit at periodic intervals, producing visible sparks. It was first presented in the 1830s by the German scientist  (1782–1849).

The arrangement consists of a toothed wheel against which a conductive wire is pressed (by a spring something like that of a mousetrap). Electrical current flows through the wheel into the wire. When the gear wheel is turned, each tooth of the gear causes the wire to ride up and then briefly drop down, losing contact with the wheel and generating a spark. The gear wheel can be driven by a hand crank.

Instead of air, the gaps between the teeth of the gear wheel may be filled with a solid electrical insulator such as ebony wood. Neeff credited this innovation to his colleague Johann Philipp Wagner.

Neeff's wheel was a forerunner of the modern contact breaker.
