Carl Thorvald Andersen. (9 March 1835 – 10 September 1916) was a Danish carpenter, who became the structural engineer and architect at the Holmen Naval Base in the second part of the 19th century. In this position, he designed a number of buildings for the use of the Royal Danish Navy in line with the accelerating technological development of the day. Today, these buildings are used by, among others, the Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole and the Rhythmic Music Conservatory. Andersen was succeeded in the position of architect by  in 1899.

Batoo JPA. Batoo JPA is an implementation of Java Persistence API version 1.0 and 2.0. It is created as a response to the assumption that the current JPA implementations are quite heavy implementations that require large CPU resources during execution therefore makes it expensive or impossible to run Java applications on top JPA technology in large scale or mobile and embedded systems.

Background 
Ceylan, the founder of Batoo JPA, was recently assigned tasks to solve performance problems in large projects mainly telecom and social networking applications. While attaining performance improvements in various proprietary applications, he adopted a large knowledge of performance on top of earlier experience.
During these works, he also discovered that Hibernate the leading JPA provider (and also others), while providing fast develop to market ability, are simply also extremely performance demanding, increasing the production costs of the applications. He has seen applications running on gigantic hardware but still under-performing according to project needs.
Amazed with the opportunity and wide use of JPA technology in the Java ecosystem, he then developed the prototype which gave 1 / 50 operating costs at the JPA level. The main development of Batoo JPA has been finished as of August 2012 and project has been released as of October 2012.

License 
Batoo JPA is provided as open source project with LGPL licence.

Benchmark 
Primary goal of Batoo JPA is to provide community with a lightweight, robust and fast implementation of JPA. To attain this, as part of Batoo JPA, a benchmark project is developed to benchmark Batoo JPA against other JPA implementation after every development iteration.

Based on this specific benchmark of the first released version of Batoo JPA, Batoo JPA compares to leading JPA implementation as below:
 Persist: 13.97 times faster
 Find: 16.76 times faster
 Remove: 22.48 times faster
 Update: 16.77 times faster
 Criteria: API 19.83 times faster
 JPQL: 16.77 times faster

Those numbers have been criticized as being only focused on cpu utilization of the application server, while the real load and most time spent actually happens on the database server.

Sitaram Rao Valluri. Sitaram Rao Valluri (June 25, 1924 – January 23, 2019) was an engineer and scientist noted for his work in metal fatigue. He completed his doctorate in 1954 at Caltech with a dissertation under Ernest Sechler and stayed thereafter to continue his research work. In 1963, he won the Wright Brothers Medal with George Bockrath and James Glassco for a paper on the relationship between crack propagation and fatigue in metals. He later returned to India and joined the Applied Mechanics Department of Indian Institute of Technology, Madras where he distinguished himself as a teacher, an outstanding researcher and a pre-eminent authority in the field of metal fatigue. He was invited to take over as the Director of National Aeronautical laboratory in Bangalore, later renamed as CSIR- National Aerospace Laboratories to succeed the first director Dr.P. Nilakantan. During his tenure for 19 years, he transformed NAL into a vibrant force in Indian Aeronautics. He was also instrumental in framing the new recruitment and assessment scheme of CSIR, popularly known as  Valluri /Varadarajan Committee which recommended a new policy of recruitment and assessment in the CSIR laboratories in the year 1981.  This was widely acknowledged as one of the most significant steps which led to the arrest of attrition of bright scientific personnel from advanced scientific institutions in India.  He played a major role in the conception of the light combat aircraft  (LCA) program in 1980s and briefly served as the first Director General of the Aeronautical Development Agency, Bangalore, the nodal agency for the design and development of LCA in 1985.

Dr. S.R. Valluri figures in the IISc wall of fame and in the list of recipients of the Padma Shri, awarded by Government of India and the Vasvik industrial research award (1976).  He was the founder President of the IISc Alumni association in 1976  and an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1971.

Bristol Robotics Laboratory. The Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), established in 2005, is the largest academic centre for multi-disciplinary robotics research in the UK. It is the result of a collaboration between the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England in Bristol and is situated on UWE's Frenchay Campus. An internationally recognised Centre of Excellence in Robotics, the Bristol Robotics Laboratory covers an area of over 4,600 sq. metres (50,000 sq. feet). The Laboratory is currently involved in interdisciplinary research projects addressing key areas of robot capabilities and applications including human-robot interaction, unmanned aerial vehicles, driverless cars, swarm robotics, non-linear control, machine vision, robot ethics and soft robotics. The BRL co-directors are Professors Arthur Richards and Matthew Studley.

History 
The BRL evolved out of the Intelligent Autonomous Systems laboratory, established in 1992. The Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) lab was co-founded by Alan Winfield, Chris Melhuish, Owen Holland and Tony Pipe and led by Winfield until 2001, when Melhuish took over as lab director. In 2005 £1M was secured from the HEFCE Research Infrastructure Fund in a joint bid from UWE and the University of Bristol and the IAS lab was renamed and relaunched as the Bristol Robotics Lab. Following relocation to its current premises the BRL was officially launched by David Willetts in May 2012.

In 2014, BBC News at Six was broadcast live from the BRL. The feature was the third of a three part series of pre-budget specials fronted by anchor George Alagiah and then Chief Economics Correspondent Hugh Pym.

Chris Melhuish led the BRL as director until 2021.

IBM Basic Programming Support. IBM Basic Programming Support/360 (BPS), originally called Special Support, was a set of standalone programs for System/360 mainframes with a minimum of 8 KiB of memory.

BPS was developed by IBM's General Products Division in Endicott, New York.  The package included "assemblers, IOCS, compilers, sorts, and utilities but no governing control program."  BPS components were introduced in a series of product announcements between 1964 and 1965.

BPS came in two versions — a strictly punched card system and a magnetic tape based system which, contrary to the stated goals, kept a small supervisor permanently resident.

Programming languages available were IBM Basic Assembly Language, IBM RPG, and FORTRAN IV (subset).  Tape FORTRAN required 16 KiB of memory.  There were also two versions of the BPS assembler, with the tape version having enhanced capabilities.

BPS also had a "disk" counterpart called BOS/360. It also required 8 KiB of memory and supported disks such as the IBM 2311.

The group responsible for BPS/BOS went on to develop  DOS/360 and TOS/360 as a supposed "interim" solution when it became evident that OS/360 would be too large to run on 16 KiB systems.

BPS and BOS could be used to run standalone applications on a minimal System/360. One application was the System/360 Work Station for remote job entry to a larger system.
