Tomohiro Tachi. Tomohiro Tachi (, born 1982) is a Japanese academic who studies origami from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining approaches from the mathematics of paper folding, structural rigidity, computational geometry, architecture, and materials science. His work was profiled in "The Origami Revolution" (2017), part of the Nova series of US science documentaries. He is a professor at the University of Tokyo.

Education and career
Tachi studied engineering and architecture at the University of Tokyo, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in 2005 and 2007 respectively, and completing his Ph.D. in 2010. He became an assistant professor in the Department of General Systems Studies at the University of Tokyo in 2010, and became an associate professor in 2018, adding at the same time affiliations with the Department of Information and Graphic Sciences and Department of Architecture.

Contributions
Tachi has been called a "renowned origami artist", and "one of the world experts on rigid origami. His artworks include a "calculated and precise" nudibranch, folded from mirror-finished metal, and an origami version of the Utah teapot, exhibited at the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art in Israel.

With Erik Demaine, he has developed software that can automatically transform any three-dimensional object, represented as a polygon mesh, into an origami model of the object. His research also includes generalized versions of the Miura fold that can be used to model any smooth surface, and bistable hyperbolic paraboloid structures formed from nested square origami folds.

With Hiroya Tanaka, he is the author of the 2020 Japanese-language book コンピュテーショナル・ファブリケーション [Computational Fabrication: Design and Science of Origami and Tessellation].

Recognition
In 2009, Tachi won the Hangai Prize of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS), for his work on quadrilateral mesh origami. His work with Kōryō Miura on flexible polyhedra derived from the Miura fold won the 2013 Tsuboi Award award of the IASS.

He was the recipient of the 2016 A. T. Yang Memorial Award in Theoretical Kinematics of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, with Tom Hull, for their joint work on predicting the motion of rigid origami patterns when forces are applied to them in their flat state. Together with his coauthors Evgueni T. Filipov and Glaucio H. Paulino, Tachi won the 2020 Cozzarelli Prize in Engineering and Applied Sciences for their work using the Miura fold to generate stiff but reconfigurable tubular structures.

Minden (ship). The Minden is a ship built in 1985 as a lifeboat as one of a series of seven rescue cruisers (Seenotkreuzern, SK) of the Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger (DGzRS, German Sea Rescue Society) in the 23.3 Meter class. The ships were built between 1980 and 1991 by the Schweers shipyard in Berne-Bardenfleth and Abeking & Rasmussen in Lemwerder.

Design details
The hull of these ships is made of seawater-resistant aluminum, which was built in a net frame system. It is powered by two MTU V10 diesel engines with 2 turbochargers each and fully modulatable Twin Disc MG 530M Omega gearboxes, each of which drives a propeller. The total output is 1944hp. The cruisers are controlled from an upper open control point or from the lower control point in the deckhouse. The cruiser has a daughter boat for rescuing shipwrecked people and for traveling in shallow water, which is carried in a cradle at the stern and can automatically move in and out. The cruiser and daughter boat are designed to be self-righting and will right themselves after capsizing. The fire extinguishing equipment includes a pump with a capacity of 380m³/h with a throw of 90 meters and a stationary, remote-control monitor. The cruiser also has a tow hook, various powerful headlights, an on-board hospital with medical equipment, living quarters for the crew, various mobile rescue equipment, mobile bilge pumps and extensive navigation and radio equipment.

History
Minden was built in 1985 by the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Lemwerder under construction number 6396. The DGzRS internal designation was KRS 16. The daughter boat of the cruiser had the internal designation KRT 16.

The cruiser was named at a ceremony in Lemwerder on August 3, 1985 in honour of the numerous donors in favour of the DGzRS from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in the name of the city of Minden located there. The godmother was the wife of the then mayor of Minden, Helga Röthemeier. The daughter boat was christened Margarete at the request of an anonymous donor.

From June 1985 to May 1989, Minden was stationed in Wilhelmshaven; in June 1989 the vessel was relocated to List on the island of Sylt. On November 16, 2013, Minden was officially decommissioned and sold to a private person.

The ship was used in the Aegean Sea from March 2016 to early July 2016 to save refugees from drowning. The team consisted of voluntary sea rescuers from the DGzRS and rescue workers from the German Life Saving Association (DLRG). As part of the temporary operation, in close cooperation with the Greek coast guard, more than 1,100 people were rescued from danger at sea within a very short time, including around 400 women and children. The ship was made available free of charge by the new owner.

From the beginning of July 2016 to September 2017, Minden was used by the donation-financed 'LifeBoat gGmbH' for sea rescue in the sea area between Libya and Lampedusa.

In December 2019, the former Minden was under a new name, Janus, and located in Abidjan (Ivory Coast).

Octans Aircraft. Octans Aircraft is a Brazilian manufacturer of light aircraft, located at São João da Boa Vista, São Paulo.

History
The origins of Octans Aircraft date to 2002, when INPAER (Portuguese: Indústria Paulista de Aeronáutica) was founded as a light aircraft manufacturer, producing more than 240 light sport aircraft. In 2013, banker Milton Roberto Pereira bought a third of the shares in the company and focused the company on the type certified aircraft market. Investments resulted in the modernisation of the company's plant and adopting Siemens Digital Industries Software to speed product development and certification.

Following the restructuring in 2017, the company was renamed Octans Aircraft and a new light aircraft project was announced, the 300A. It was later renamed the Octans Cygnus. In early 2018, Octans Aircraft announced that it has sold INPAER's previous design rights to a former owner. The first Cygnus prototype was completed and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil certification process commenced, with deliveries forecast for the second half of 2021.

Keppeler. Keppeler – Technische Entwicklungen GmbH is a German firearms manufacturer which produces rifles for ISSF 300 m rifle competition, hunting matches as well as bullpup sniper rifles.

History 
Toolmaker Dieter Keppeler began working as a firearm designer at the Carl Walther factory in Ulm in 1958. Here he was involved in the development of the sniper rifle Walther WA 2000. In 1982, Dieter Keppeler established his first independent company "Dieter Keppeler - Waffentechnische Werkstatt" in Langenau to produce 300 m competition rifles. As early as in 1985 the German national team used rifles produced by Keppeler in the European Championships. In 1987 Keppeler left Carl Walther for good.

Bernhard Fritz was a well-known manufacturer of exclusive firearms for hunting, and had received his training at Ferlach in Austria, the only technical university for gunsmiths in Western Europe. Fritz also had a gunsmithing education from Freudenstadt, and while he was a student he won the German national gunsmithing championship. After becoming a certified craftsman in Ulm in 1979, he settled in Fichtenberg in Swabia in 1980 where he worked as an independent gunsmith and produced exclusive handmade hunting rifles. In 1991, Bernhard Fritz died in an accident.

In January 1992, Dieter Keppeler bought the company from Bernhard Fritz and moved his own company to Fichtenberg, where he went to produce hunting, competition and sniper rifles under the name Keppeler & Fritz GmbH. In 1999, the company changed its name to Keppeler Technische Entwicklungen GmbH. In 2004 Dieter Keppeler retired, and the company is today run by Gert Peter who has worked in the company since 1985.

Models
