Two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy. Time-resolved two-photon photoelectron (2PPE) spectroscopy is a time-resolved spectroscopy technique which is used to study electronic structure and electronic excitations at surfaces. The technique utilizes femtosecond to picosecond laser pulses in order to first photoexcite an electron. After a time delay, the excited electron is photoemitted into a free electron state by a second pulse. The kinetic energy and the emission angle of the photoelectron are measured in an electron energy analyzer. To facilitate investigations on the population and relaxation pathways of the excitation, this measurement is performed at different time delays.

This technique has been used for many different types of materials to study a variety of exotic electron behaviors, including image potential states at metal surfaces, and electron dynamics at molecular interfaces.

Basic physics 
The final kinetic energy of the electron can be modeled by 

where the EB is the binding energy of the initial state, Ekin is the kinetic energy of the photoemitted electron, Φ is the work function of the material in question, and Epump, Eprobe are the photon energies of the laser pulses, respectively. Without a time delay, this equation is exact. However, as the delay between the pump and probe pulses increases, the excited electron may relax in an energy. Hence the energy of the photoemitted electron is lowered. With large enough time delay between the two pulses, the electron will relax all the way back to its original state. The timescales at which the electronic relaxation occurs, as well as the relaxation mechanism (either via vibronic coupling or electronic coupling) is of interest for applications of functional devices such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Experimental configuration 

Time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy usually employs a combination of ultrafast optical technology as well as ultrahigh vacuum components. The main optical component is an ultrafast (femtosecond) laser system which generates pulses in the near infrared. Nonlinear optics are used to generate photon energies in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range. Typically, ultraviolet radiation is required to photoemit electrons. In order to allow for time-resolved experiments, a fine adjustment delay stage must be employed in order to manipulate the time delay between the pump and the probe pulse.

Open Dots
 
Open Dots is a conductive charging specification that was promoted by the Open Dots Alliance, a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization, which was formed by JVIS in 2015 and appears to be inactive since 2018. The technology has been available since 2009 in various JVIS products.

An Open Dots receiver, which can be a phone case, has three contacts arranged 120 degrees apart on the circumference of a circle of one-centimeter (two-fifths of an inch) radius, and a fourth contact at its center. An Open Dots charger, typically a charging pad, is a surface with a grid of approximately centimeter-wide contacts, spaced apart so an individual receiver contact cannot touch two pad contacts simultaneously. Two adjacent rows of pad contacts have opposite polarities. When the surface of the receiver is placed on the surface of an Open Dots charging pad, the contacts can form an electrical circuit in any angular orientation, allowing the user to simply place their device on a charging pad to start charging.

In May 2015, the alliance stated that the Open Dots standard was adapted for use in 12 vehicle models across five major automotive brands – Ford, Chrysler, RAM, Dodge, and Scion. Phone case maker Incipio was mentioned as making compatible products.

Lumena. China Lumena New Materials (commonly called Lumena) is a Chinese mining and manufacturing company primarily engaged in the production of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an industrial plastic. According to a market research report in 2016, the company is among the largest producers of PPS.

Lumena mines the glauberite and associated class of minerals that is the raw ingredient used by the company to manufacture PPS and thenardite products including laxatives.

History
The company traces its origins to 1952.

In June 2009, the company raised US$149 million in an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Although the company had planned to launch an IPO in 2008, the Sichuan earthquake that year delayed the plans.

The Hong Kong listed company was suspended from trading by the exchange after Glaucus, a short seller investment research firm, published a report that alleged sales stated by the company were fraudulently inflated and its claim to have the most production capacity volume was misleading. Following turmoil for the company created by the report, on January 19, 2015, one of its creditors, Taiwan-based Mega Bank, filed a winding up petition against Lumena to institute involuntary insolvency proceedings for the company before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Mining
Lumena is vertically integrated. From two captive mines in Sichuan at the Dahongshan Mining Area and the Guangji Mining Area the company mines glauberite and associated minerals, which are then used to manufacture natural thenardite products and PPS, the two product segments of the company.

The company announced the acquisition in June 2011 of two mining companies in Meishan, Sichuan, but canceled the planned acquisition in announcement in April 2012.

Product segments

PPS
Lumena is one of a handful of manufacturers of PPS, a plastic with several engineering applications, along with competitors including Solvay (which bought the PPS business from Chevron Philips), Chengdu Letian, DIC Corporation, Kureha, Fortron (a joint venture between Kureha and Ticona), Toray Industries, and Tosoh.

The PPS line of business began after the acquisition in 2010 of Sino Polymer New Materials Co., Ltd., a PPS manufacturer, that owned and operated two plants in Deyang and Chengdu in Sichuan. The goal behind the acquisition was to build a vertically integrated company as one of the main feedstocks in producing PPS is thenardite.

Thenardite
Derived from the company's mines, the other product segment of the company is natural thenardite products, which is mainly divided into medical thenardite or powder thenardite. The edible medical thenardite is used as a laxative and anti-inflammatory agent while powder thenardite is an ingredient of powdered laundry detergent. Procter & Gamble is a major buyer of powdered thenardite from the company, using it to make laundry detergent.

S11 House. S11 House is a residential building in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. It was the country's first Green Building Index Platinum rated house, and won the Tropical Building Category of the Asean Energy Awards in 2013.

Designed by Ar. Dr. Tan Loke Mun, the single residential structure was conceptualized along the lines of a large tree canopy and is equipped with 5 KW peak photo-voltaic installation on the roof; rainwater is also collected on the canopy roof drains and is stored in harvesting tanks. Water features and multiple pools are located at the two extreme north-south ends to provide evaporative cooling for the house. The house proves that even in the hot and humid tropical climate of South East Asia, it is possible to lessen a building's reliance on air-conditioning and also minimize its use of other natural resources, most notably water and electricity.

A composting yard treats all the household organic and garden wastes and provides high grade compost fertilizer for the vegetable and fruit gardens. It has an overall roof U value of 0.14. The glazing roof comprises 9.38mm thick low-E safety laminated glass which can be opened up to 90%. The overall building envelope OTTV is 29.63.

S11 House is a testament to the opportunities available to build green for the architect and owner of this house, Dr. Tan. The successful structure has since been replicated in the S14 House and other commissions of private homes. The hope is that the constant experiments done on these private homes eventually will find their way into the larger consumer and mass market housing industry. This is Tan’s process of taking a theory and testing it on a lab project (usually a house) and then finding a larger mass market application for the idea. The house is physical proof that upper-end residential houses can work sustainably with the environment regarding their construction and on-going maintenance.

OpenBLAS. OpenBLAS is an open-source implementation of the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) and LAPACK APIs with many hand-crafted optimizations for specific processor types.  It is developed at the Lab of Parallel Software and Computational Science, ISCAS.

OpenBLAS adds optimized implementations of linear algebra kernels for several processor architectures, including Intel Sandy Bridge
and Loongson. It claims to achieve performance comparable to the Intel MKL. On machines that support the AVX2 instruction set, OpenBLAS can achieve similar performance to MKL, but there are currently almost no open source libraries comparable to MKL on CPUs with the AVX512 instruction set.

OpenBLAS is a fork of GotoBLAS2, which was created by Kazushige Goto at the Texas Advanced Computing Center.

History and present 
OpenBLAS was developed by the parallel software group led by Professor Yunquan Zhang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

OpenBLAS was initially only for the Loongson CPU platform. Dr. Xianyi Zhang contributed a lot of work. Since GotoBLAS was abandoned, the successor OpenBLAS is now developed as an open source BLAS library for multiple platforms, including x86, ARMv8, MIPS, and RISC-V platforms, and is respected for its excellent portability.

The parallel software group is modernizing OpenBLAS to meet current computing needs. For example, OpenBLAS's level-3 computations were primarily optimized for large and square matrices (often considered as regular-shaped matrices). And now irregular-shaped matrix multiplication are also supported, such as tall and skinny matrix multiplication (TSMM), which supports faster deep learning calculations on the CPU. TSMM is one of the core calculations in deep learning operations. Besides this, the compact function and small GEMM will also be supported by OpenBLAS.

Freezing toilet. Freezing toilet is a kind of dry toilet powered by electricity which freezes the content in a short time. Freezing toilets work by electricity, as they are plugged into the wall. They do not need water, pipes, ventilation or chemicals to work.
The function of freezing toilets is based on freezing. The contents freeze in a short time stopping bacteria from growing and keeping it odourless. Consequently, it does not need mixtures or other chemicals.

Freezing toilets can be moved, as they only need a plug to work. The machine consumes about 40 watts of electricity.

Freezing toilets were developed in Sweden in the 1970s, but now production is in Finland.

Examples 
This kind of toilet is installed at the Mirrorcube treeroom at Treehotel (Harads, Sweden).
