Fotofinder. FotoFinder is a worldwide brand for medical skin imaging systems. The German company FotoFinder Systems GmbH was founded in 1991 and has developed imaging solutions for the follow-up of skin lesions as well as hair disorders diagnostics (TrichoLAB) and psoriasis assessment.

FotoFinder imaging technology
 Digital dermatoscopy (also called digital epiluminescence microscopy) for monitoring skin lesions over time. Through the technology-based follow-up, changes of the skin and single lesions can be detected at an early stage where the chances of healing are high.
 Analysis of skin lesions according to deep learning algorithms based on Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, the "Moleanalyzer pro" tool has been developed and validated in several clinical studies, one of them “Man against machine”. It supports doctors in the pre-assessment of melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions.
 Automated Total Body Mapping and Total Body Dermoscopy for monitoring the entire skin of patients with multiple lesions. All parts of the body are photographed from head to toe for a complete, systematic and standardized documentation.
 Skin analyses to visualize new and changed moles. Therefore, the "Bodyscan" tool compares two total body photos with the help of complex algorithms. The first program version was the result of cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering.
Each of the presented methods supports physicians in the early detection of skin changes and skin cancer. In an overall view, the diagnostic accuracy will be improved with the use of special cameras, expert software and scientific-based analysis systems.

Frederick Esling. Frederick Karl Esling (20 July 1860—31 July 1955) was an Australian railway engineer and chess master.

Railway career
Esling was engineer-in-charge in the Way and Works branch of the Victorian Railways department, located at Flinders Street. Among the many important works that Esling carried out were the building of the Flinders Street Viaduct, the replacement of the spans of the Saltwater River Rail Bridge over the Maribyrnong River (formerly the Saltwater River), refurbishment of the Moorabool Viaduct, and the complicated lay-out of the tracks at the Flinders street station and yards. The refurbishment of the Saltwater River Rail Bridge, which was carried out inside the old bridge with minimal interruption to rail traffic, was a complex piece of work that excited much interest in engineering circles.

Esling presided over the topping-out ceremony on the Flinders Street station clock tower in 1909, when he laid the last brick and was presented with the ceremonial trowel.  He published a number of technical papers, including one based on his work on the Flinders Street viaduct, which identified a puzzling problem related to the horizontal forces due to braking, in combination with side forces from wind-pressure. He resigned from his railway position in 1917, partly because he did not consider that he had been treated fairly as regards his promotion.

Chess Master
At the age of 18, Esling won an offhand game against Adolf Anderssen. He won the first Australian Chess Championship by defeating George H. D. Gossip in a match in 1886. Gossip, having emigrated from England to Melbourne in 1885, issued a challenge the following year to any player in the Australian colonies to play him in a match for 20 pounds a side and the title of Australian champion. While Gossip was considered to be strong than any other Australian/Victorian chess player at the time, Esling, also a leading Melbourne player, accepted the challenge and won the first game with the 2nd game being adjourned in favourable position, after which illness forced Gossip to forfeit the match. In 1950, shortly before Esling's 90th birthday, the Australian Chess Federation formally decreed that this match victory had made Esling Australia's first champion. Esling finished second in the Second Australian Championship, a tournament held at Adelaide 1887, with 7 out of 9 points, behind Henry Charlick (7.5) but ahead of Gossip (6.5).

In 1895, Esling challenged Alfred Edward Noble Wallace of Sydney, the reigning Australian champion, to a match for the title. It was played in Melbourne between 8 June and 11 July, and aroused great interest. Wallace narrowly won, winning seven games and losing five, with four draws. In a letter published in The Sydney Mail, he graciously wrote that "after the close fight we have had, I cannot as much as I would like to - think myself a better player than my late opponent, F.K. Esling, champion of Victoria".

LB&SCR G class. The LB&SCR G class were powerful 2-2-2 locomotives, designed by William Stroudley of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1874.

History
A prototype single locomotive, No. 151 Grosvenor, was designed by Stroudley and produced by Brighton railway works in December 1874. This was extensively tested before a second, scaled down locomotive No. 325 Abergavenny, was ordered in June 1876 and completed in January 1877. Both locomotives performed adequately, but Abergavenny was significantly less powerful than Grosvenor. A modified design was developed and twelve further locomotives were built between December 1880 and November 1881.
The members of this class worked express trains between London and South Coast towns such as Portsmouth, Brighton and Eastbourne, and covered large mileages. The introduction of the Billinton B2 class made the singles redundant on the Portsmouth line and so several were transferred to Tunbridge Wells.

Withdrawals began in May 1907, and the last locomotive survived until May 1914. No examples have been preserved, but there is a model of No. 331 Fairlight in the museum at Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway.

Adolf Martens. Adolf Martens (Adolf Karl Gottfried Martens; 6 March 1850 in Gammelin – 24 July 1914 in Groß-Lichterfelde) was a German metallurgist and the namesake of the steel structure martensite and the martensitic transformation, a type of diffusionless phase transition in the solid state. He also made significant contributions to the field of tribology. The functional relationship between the coefficient of friction and the product of sliding speed and viscosity divided by the normal load (well known as the Stribeck curve) was experimentally explored by Adolf Martens in 1888, long before Richard Stribeck made his pioneering measurements in 1902.

Netherlands fallacy. The Netherlands fallacy refers to an error  Paul R. Ehrlich and his co-authors claim others make in assuming that the environmental impacts of the Netherlands and other rich nations are contained within their national borders.

Environmentalists since the late 20th century have analyzed the environmental sink status and sink capacities of poor nations. As polluting industries migrate from rich to poor nations, the national ecological footprint of rich nations shrinks, whereas the international ecological footprint may increase or also decrease. The nature of the fallacy is to ignore increasing environmental damage in many developing nations and in international waters attributable to the imported goods or changes in the economy of such nations directly due to developed nations.

Such an approach may lead to incorrect assertions such as the environmental impact of a particular developed country is reducing, when a holistic, international approach suggests the opposite. This may in turn support over-optimistic predictions toward the improvement of global environmental conditions.

The Netherlands has had a huge impact regarding leaving water footprints across the world. They have made this footprint by importing water from other countries, leaving increasingly scarce regions. Water footprints of a country can come from either water resources used internally or resources that are outsourced. Dutch consumers have left most of their water footprint through agricultural goods and industrial goods.

Reference Broadcast Synchronization. Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) is a synchronization method in which the receiver uses the physical layer broadcasts for comparing the clocks. This slightly differs from traditional methods which synchronize the sender's with the receiver's clock.

RBS allows nodes to synchronize their clocks to the resolution necessary for example for wireless sensor network applications. Rather than broadcasting a timestamp in a synchronization packet as in protocols such as Network Time Protocol, RBS allows the nodes receiving the synchronization packets to use the packet's arrival time as a reference point for clock synchronization. Because most of the non-deterministic propagation time involved in transmitting a packet over a wireless channel lies between the construction of the packet and the sender's transmitter (e.g., sender's queue delay, MAC contention delay, etc.), by timestamping only at the receiver, RBS removes most delay uncertainty involved in typical time synchronization protocols. 

For single-hop networks, the RBS algorithm is very simple. First, a transmitter broadcasts some number M as reference broadcasts. Each receiver that receives these broadcasts exchanges the time that each reference broadcast was received locally with its neighbors. Nodes then calculate phase shifts relative to each other as the average of the difference of the timestamps of the node's local clocks for the M reference broadcasts. In multihop networks, time synchronization can be performed hop by hop between two nodes as long as the nodes on each link along the path have a common node whose reference broadcasts they can synchronize to.

Nanocharm. NanoCharm is a cooperation of eight European organisations and is an
EU-Project founded in the 7th framework program. The goal of this
European collaboration is to establish and enhance ellipsometry and
polarimetry as a measurement tool.

The partners

Projects and goals
Ellipsometry and polarimetry are methods to characterize samples
according to their optical properties and composition. The measurements
do not influence or destroy the samples and are calculated in real-time experiments. Therefore, these methods are suitable for characterizing
samples in-situ and to further monitor the growth process.

The NanoCharm project aims to strengthen the collaboration of users
(scientific and industrial) and their needs with the manufacturers of
ellipsometers.

For this reason, the NanoCharm consortium is organising annual summer
and winter schools during the three years of the project (from
1 January 2008 until 31 December 2010). Additionally, a website has been
established to act as a platform for all users. The website
provides news, a collection of literature, databases, a virtual lab and a
forum for discussion.

Cross-platform support middleware. A cross-platform support middleware (CPSM) is a software abstraction layer that guarantees the existence, and correct implementation, of a set of services on top a set of platforms.

Abstraction method
The abstraction method in the CPSM development is the method used to compile the concrete source code for a given platform without compromising the abstract interfaces provided.
The most commonly used abstraction methods in CPSM development are: conditional compilation and directory separation of sources. 

The first method consists in embedding preprocessor instructions in the source code to conditionally select the source subtree compatible with a given platform. 

The second method takes advantage of the filesystem organization to divide the source code in different folders, one for each incompatible platform.  Thus delegating the selection problem to the build system. 

Some distributions like MSYS and Cygwin may help build the cross-platform code in a Unix-like environment even on Microsoft Windows. Both distributions provide a decent version of GNU Make that can direct the build process in a cross-platform fashion.

Moxon Huddersfield. Moxon Huddersfield Ltd is a high-end British textile manufacturer of luxury worsted and woollen suiting fabrics. It is located at Yew Tree Mills, Holmbridge, near Holmfirth, Kirklees in Yorkshire.

History

The company was incorporated in 1924 but claims it can trace its roots to the 16th century. In the 1910s, it traded under the name of B. H. Moxon & Sons and was located at Springfield Mills, Kirkburton, near Huddersfield. At that time it patented an improvement to the dobby loom. In the 1930s, it was exporting to Japan and the United States. In 1950, it moved to a new  site in Kirkburton. In the 1950s, it was noted for its fancy worsted fabrics, In the 1980s, it was specialized in worsted mohair and silk blends aimed primarily at the Japanese market.

Moxon was one of the first British weavers to replace British Dobcross looms with wider Swiss Sulzer looms. In the early 1960s, after the retirement of Matthew Moxon, it became part of the Tulketh Group, which went into receivership in the early 1970s. It was acquired in 1971 by the Allied Textiles group.

Today

The company was acquired in 1993 by British industrialist Firas Chamsi-Pasha, formerly of textile firm Hield Brothers. Mr Chamsi-Pasha dropped 90% of the company's customer base and concentrated its production in the most expensive segment of the cloth market, with retail price up to £4,200 a metre in 2005 for fabrics such as a 12.9 micron wool or a super-fine wool with an 18 ct gold stripe. Mr Chamsi-Pasha marketed Super 180s fabrics in 1998 and Super 210s fabrics in 2000. He claimed in 2003 that he was willing to pay "silly prices" to acquire wool with a fiber measuring less than 12 microns and had bought 26 pounds of wool with a fiber measuring 11.5 microns. The company uses antique machinery together with up-to-date equipment, such as a £120,000 scouring machine.In 2006, Joanne Alsop, then head designer of the company, won a Silver Shuttle Award from the Worshipful Company of Weavers. As of 2010, the company was using 8 looms and producing about 500 single pieces or 35,000 metres per year, using archives going back to the 1930s for ideas. As of 2011, its fabric are priced between £300 ($480) and £11,000 ($17,600) per metre. 95% of the production is exported.

Cashmere socks
In 1999, the company introduced socks woven with a very fine cashmere from the Altai region. They were priced at £400 ($640) in 2011. The company claims to sell 140 pairs per year.

Samuel E. Blum. Samuel E. Blum (August 28, 1920 – January 9, 2013)  was an American chemist and physicist. He was a researcher at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, working for government and private companies. He worked with semiconductor materials, which was his specialization until his retirement from IBM Watson Research Center in 1990.

Blum's most notable invention is the patent on the ultraviolet excimer laser, which is used in surgical and dental procedures, which provided the laser technology that is central in LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery. The co-inventors included chemist Rangaswamy Srinivasan and physicist James J. Wynne. The patent was filed in December 1982 and was issued on November 15, 1988. The contribution of this technology to LASIK has brought 20/20 vision and freedom from eyeglasses and contact lenses to millions of people. For this innovation, he was inducted to the National Inventors Hall of Fame (2002) and received the R. W. Wood Prize (2004) from the Optical Society of America (OSA).  In 2013, Blum, Srinivasan, and Wynne were awarded the Russ Prize from the National Academy of Engineering for this work.
