Command, control, and coordination system. A command, control, and coordination system (CCCS) was a Cold War computer system for United States command posts (e.g., Army Air Defense Command Posts) to use a single location to coordinate multiple units' ground-controlled interception (e.g., USAF interceptor squadrons at various locations by Semi-Automatic Ground Environment Direction Centers) and may refer to:
Backup Interceptor Control System (BUIC), a dispersed USAF CCCS of the SAGE System
Burroughs AN/GSA-51 Radar Course Directing Group (BUIC II), a replacement USAF CCCS fielded in 1966
Hughes AN/TSQ-51 Air Defense Command and Coordination System, a mobile replacement US Army CCCS for coordinating NIKE and HAWK missile sites
AN/FSQ-7 Combat Direction Central, a vacuum tube USAF CCCS fielded in 1958 for coordinating BOMARC launch sites
Martin AN/FSG-1 Antiaircraft Defense System, a vacuum tube US Army CCCS at 10 NIKE Missile Master installations

Ground Air Transmit Receive. Ground Air Transmit Receive (GATR) control sites were the radio stations of a Burroughs 416L SAGE Defense System of the United States Air Force.

They were deployed to automate ground-controlled interception using crewed interceptor aircraft.  Generally located near or, in some cases, on an Aerospace Defense Command radar station, a GATR site was used for the Ground to Air Data Link Subsystem to communicate command guidance via HF/VHF/UHF voice and TDDL to vector F-106 Delta Dart and other suitably equipped aircraft that had been dispatched by teams in Weapons Direction rooms of SAGE Direction Centers.  Maintenance was done by the 304x4 Ground Radio Maintenance career field, with initial technical training at Keesler Air Force Base. The sites included the RCA AN/GKA-5 Time Division Data Link (TDDL) equipment, that fed a two-channel AN/FRT-49 Electronic Guidance Signals Transmitting Set, employing Varian klystrons to deliver 20 kilowatts output power (early sites used the 100 watt, single-channel AN/GRT-3 instead. The aircraft receivers were either Hughes AN/ARR-60 or SLI AN/ARR-61 Airborne Radio Receivers of the Hughes MA-1 Fire Control System.

Most GATR/SAGE sites are now Formerly Used Defense Sites (e.g., the  site supported by Oakdale Air Force Station, Pennsylvania) that were closed by the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.

Sites

The San Francisco Z-38 (Mill Valley) site differed from Manual Air Defense Control Centers that networked Permanent System radar stations, NORAD Control Centers had simpler C3 equipment (e.g., for the "austere SAGE area" in the Zone of the Interior) than the Direction Centers' AN/FSQ-7s such as the General Electric AN/GPA-37 Course Directing Group with AN/GPA-67 Time Division Data Link equipment through transmitters to the AN/ARR-39 "SAGE Datalink Receivers" used in the F-86L Sabre Interceptor, which was the SAGE variant—an F-86D Sabre Dog with equipment for day/night/all weather operations.  For example, by 1965, "Hamilton AFB and Richards-Gebaur AFB…operated as Remote Combat Centers (Hamilton had remote input from Reno Sector and Richards-Gebaur from Sioux City Sector)".

Abel Bliss. Abel Bliss, Jr. (August 8, 1853 – April 18, 1936) was an American engineer and businessman.

Bliss was born in New Lenox, Illinois on August 8, 1853, the sixth of seven children. He attended high school at Englewood, and afterward was a student of engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. He was married, on February 21, 1877, to Nettie Lynk. He gave up engineering partway through his degree, due to circumstances that required him to take charge of the family farm, where he grew wealthy through his agricultural business and real estate investments. In June 1874, the University granted him a partial certificate in civil engineering. His business ventures included agriculture and real estate, and by 1929, he was a partner in the land development and oil production company of Bliss & Wetherbee.

Bliss died in Shreveport, Louisiana on April 18, 1936 at the age of 82.

Abel Bliss Professorship

Helen Eva Bliss, the daughter of Abel Bliss Jr., graduated from the University of Illinois in 1911 with a degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences.  After her retirement from working life, she established The Bliss Professor of Engineering in memory of her father.  Part of the Bliss bequest was earmarked to support the Grainger Engineering Library and Information Center Endowment, and the remainder towards other projects for “advancing the scholastic activities of the School of Engineering.”   The bequest was so generous that it currently sustains several professorships annually at the School of Engineering, University of Illinois.

The Abel Bliss Professorship has been awarded to individuals such as Jiawei Han (computer science), Rashid Bashir (semiconductors, MEMS, and Biosensors),  William P. King  (Materials Science), Stephen A. Boppart (Bioengineering and Internal Medicine), Kent D. Choquette   (vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers), Philippe H. Geubelle  (Aerospace Engineering), David Ruzic (Plasma Engineering),  Albert J. Valocchi (water resources engineering, groundwater hydrology and contaminant transport), Elyse Rosenbaum (Bliss Faculty Scholar Award), Rob A. Rutenbar  (computer science and computer engineering), and Deming Chen (Electrical and Computer Engineering), all of whom are currently researching further technologies at the University of Illinois.

Sand slinger. Sand slinger is the term for two different types of machines. Both of which use a short conveyor belt to direct sand, gravel or similar materials to varying locations.

Stationary mold filling machine 
A stationary sand slinger is a type of machine used for filling and uniform ramming of sand in casting molds, and is particularly advantageous with large molds. This machine consists of a heavy base, a bin or hopper to carry sand, and a bucket elevator to which a number of buckets and a swinging arm are attached, which carries a conveyor belt and the sand impeller head.

The sand slinger fills the flask uniformly with sand under a high pressure stream throwing the sand with high speed using the impeller.

Mobile aggregate moving truck 
A slinger truck is usually a dump truck equipped with a pivoted conveyor belt used to sling dry bulk material, usually sand or gravel, for a distance of several metres.

Canadian Bird-class patrol vessel. The Bird-class patrol vessels were a class of seaward patrol vessels operated by the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) during the Cold War. The class derives its name from large birds found in Canada and was designed by the RCN as a replacement for the remaining Second World War-era Fairmile motor launches used for coastal patrol.

Design
Bird-class patrol vessels were designed for harbour patrol, training and anti-submarine warfare. Constructed of wood and aluminum, the Bird class displaced . The vessels were  long overall, with a beam of  and a draught of . They had a complement of two officers and nineteen ratings.

The Bird class were powered by diesel engines creating  connected to two shafts. This gave the ships a maximum speed of . The vessels were armed with one 20 mm gun and a Hedgehog anti-submarine mortar.

Ships

Service history
Loon was the first to commission, on 30 November 1955 at Toronto, Ontario. The vessel sailed to Halifax, Nova Scotia in December through treacherous ice conditions. Cormorant and Mallard were commissioned on 16 July 1956 at Midland, Ontario and Penetang, Ontario respectively. Blue Heron commissioned on 30 July 1956 at Orillia, Ontario and was allocated to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Marine Division based at Halifax.

In 1961, Cormorant, Mallard and Loon were assigned to Atlantic Command as harbour patrol craft. In April 1961, Mallard was deployed to rescue the crew of the fishing vessel Ocean Wave which had run aground off Nova Scotia. The heavy seas prevented rescue by ship and the crew were taken off by helicopter.

Yoshihisa Okumura. Yoshihisa Okumura (; 2 July 1926 – 18 February 2023) was a Japanese engineer, known for development of cellular telephone networks.
His radio survey of signal strength as a function of distance as measured in drive tests in automobiles was critical to the system planning of mobile radio telephone systems.

Professional career 
Okumura was born in Isikawa Prefecture on 2 July 1926. He studied electrical engineering at  Kanazawa Technical College (金沢工業専門学校 Kanazawa kōgyō senmon gakkō, formerly the faculty of engineering of Kanazawa University) from 1944 to 1947.

Okumura began his professional career in 1950 with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (NTT, now privatised), where he collected radio propagation data in the 150 to 1920 MHz bands. These bands were later identified as appropriate for mobile phone systems (in no small part, because of the data collected by Okumura).

Okumura's careful study in various topographical environments in metropolitan, suburban, rural and even mountainous regions at distances from 1 to 100 km was published in 1968.

His 10-year survey included varying the height of the antennas from ground level to 10 meters which helps in planning radio coverage of mobile phone cell towers. 
Okumura's work was advanced in the International Radio Consultative Conference (CCIR) which recognized that this work was applicable to all countries contemplating mobile cellular phone systems. The curves he published have become known as the Okumura Model and were critical to identifying the 800 MHz band as an appropriate target for mobile phone operation.

About 1970, Okumura was promoted to the directorship of the Mobile System Research Section of the Electrical Communication Laboratory (ECL) of NTT. His staff grew to about 20 individuals, who pioneered the early high capacity cellular phone systems.

Okumura retired from the ECL in 1975 and joined Toshiba. In 1979 he became a professor in Kanazawa Institute of Technology, retiring in 2000 as professor emeritus.

Okumura died on 18 February 2023, at the age of 96.

Thomas Haug. Thomas Haug (26 April 1927 – 9 December 2023) was a Norwegian-Swedish electrical engineer known for developing the cellular telephone networks.

Early life and education 
Thomas Haug was born in Norway on 26 April 1927. He received a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Norway in Trondheim in 1951, and a degree of Licentiate from KTH—corresponding to a PhD—from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 1973.

Professional career 
Haug worked at the Ericsson group in Stockholm and with Westinghouse in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, primarily on radio projects. In 1966 Haug joined the Swedish Board of Telecommunications where, together with Östen Mäkitalo and lead the joint Nordic project for cellular communications called the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system. NMT was an analog mobile phone system commercialized in 1980 in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Nordic countries through 1982, reaching 1 million subscribers in 1990. The NMT system enabled roaming among countries and lead the way to the common European System (GSM). Thomas Haug chaired from 1981 to 1992 the steering committee of experts that standardized the GSM system, first at the CEPT and from 1988 at the ETSI. Haug's personal contributions included introducing features such as SIM cards and SMS messaging. Haug remained chair of the standards work through 1992 when GSM was introduced to the market. GSM and its progeny (UMTS and LTE) is the world's leading mobile air interface with networks operating in more than 220 countries.
He, along with Philippe Dupuis received the James Clerk Maxwell Medal in 2018. Prince William presented the award to them in Edinburgh for their contributions to the first digital mobile telephone standard.

Death 
Haug died in Sollentuna, Sweden on 9 December 2023, at the age of 96.

Awards

Air Creation BioniX. The Air Creation BioniX is a French double-surface ultralight trike wing, designed and produced by Air Creation of Aubenas. The wing is widely used on Air Creation trikes.

Design and development
The wing is a cable-braced, king post-equipped hang glider-style wing designed as advanced, top-of-the-line wing for two-place trikes. It comes in two sizes,  and .

The wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. In its 15.1 m size it has a  span wing, a nose angle of 130°, an aspect ratio of 6.4:1 and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The wing mounts small winglets. The design incorporates a unique "corset" system that allows the pilot to adjust the wing's trailing edge geometry in flight to optimize performance. This results in a large speed range and good handling characteristics in turbulence, without heavy roll control.

Paul Friedrich Posenenske. Paul Friedrich Posenenske (9 September 1919 in Wroclaw - April 2004) was a German architect of functionalism.

Life 

Posenenske studied from 1936 to 1941 at the Technische Hochschulen in Breslau (now Wrocław University of Science and Technology) and in Charlottenburg (now Technische Universität Berlin) and has worked since 1945 in various state building departments of Hesse. There, he designed especially public building, which are characterized by a very complex modernity. In many buildings, artists were involved, for art and for the color scheme. The dormitories in Frankfurt, however, were very purist and followed the forms which were introduced by Ferdinand Kramer at the Frankfurt University.

From 1958 he was a professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Kassel (today part of University of Kassel). In the same year he set up his own architectural offices in Offenbach am Main and Kassel. The transformation of the 18th-century architecture Schloss Wilhelmshöhe with a deliberately avant-garde interior design into a modern museum was heavily criticized by traditionalists.

Paul Friedrich Posenenske was married to the painter and sculptor Charlotte Posenenske. In 1987 he moved with his wife to Pottum Westerwald, where he worked and lived until his death.
