Linograph typesetting machine. The Linograph typesetting machine  was a "line casting" machine, modeled on the Linotype machine, that was used in letterpress printing.  It was manufactured by the Linograph Corporation of  Davenport, Iowa from July 1912 until sometime after 1938.

History 
When Ottmar Mergenthaler’s basic patent on a machine for casting type and then re-distributing matrixes expired in 1902 and 1909, it became possible for competitors to enter the field with machines compatible with Linotype matrixes.  The Linograph and Intertype soon emerged with rival machines.  By 1920 over 700 Linographs had been sold.

The Linograph design was simpler than the Linotype.  Its innovative design was created by Hans Pedersen (later Peterson, 1872 - 1924), a Danish-American.

Among its most important products were box wagons for the transport of agricultural products with wooden or iron bogies, braked or unbraked, with spring-loaded bearings, draw hooks with three-link chain with fold-down side boards and a load volume of 2 to 6 m³.

The company moved from Holzwickede to Hamm in 2017/2018, where it trades as Künstler Bahntechnik GmbH. It offers steel and apparatus engineering, wagon construction, track technology and mechanical engineering (new production, overhauls and service) in cooperation with the Holz-Fehlings Group. It . Its range of services in track technology includes industrial and local traffic turnouts as well as rail assembly, and the supply of new and used materials such as sleepers made of wood, concrete and steel, turnout sleepers, rails, switches, track yokes, buffer stops and small irons. In the mechanical engineering sector, it specialises in services for wheelset presses, wheelset processing machines, measuring technology for wheelsets and workshop equipment. In 2019, it had an annual average of 102 employees with low staff turnover.

Ole-Christoffer Granmo. Ole-Christoffer Granmo (born 26 August 1974) is a Norwegian computer scientist. Granmo is a professor and director at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (CAIR) at the University of Agder.

Granmo grew up in Skien and studied at the University of Oslo. He completed his master's degree in computer science in 1999 and PhD in 2004.

In 2018, Granmo published a paper on an artificial Intelligence algorithm built upon propositional logic and the work of Michael Tsetlin, which he accordingly named a Tsetlin machine. Researchers around the world have since started to adopt the AI technology, seeing promising results for the technology in a variety of fields, while Granmo has subsequently joined commercialisation efforts. In 2022, Granmo was named the decade's researcher in artificial intelligence by Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium (NORA).

Augsburg Water Management System. Under the name Augsburg Water Management System, structural objects in Augsburg and the surrounding area that testify to the importance and history of Augsburg's historic water management were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 6, 2019. The World Heritage Site comprises a compilation of technical-architectural cultural assets that attest to various ways of using water in the historically rich southern German city from different eras.

Augsburg's World Heritage Site includes 22 objects, including flowing water canals, the oldest waterworks and water tower in Germany, and the oldest waterworks that was supplied by groundwater-fed deep wells. It also includes 10 historic hydroelectric power plants.

Scope
The Augsburg Water Management System World Heritage Site comprises 22 individual properties. Some of them are located in Augsburg's old town, some in the present-day Augsburg city area far from the old town, and some in the areas of other localities in the Augsburg district. The most distant object, the Meitingen hydroelectric power plant, is located about 22 kilometers north of the city. All 22 objects are listed as historical monuments.

The most extensive of these individual objects is a network of watercourses, including parts of the Lech canals, which run partly open and partly underground, the Wertach canals and the spring water streams in the city forest. This network connects the other 21 individual properties with each other. In this way, the World Heritage Site forms a coherent protected area that covers an area of about 113 hectares.

This protected area is surrounded by a buffer zone. In the case of watercourses, it consists of a 5-meter-wide strip on both sides of the watercourse. Most of the individual objects also have only a narrow buffer zone. In the historic old town, parts of the Jakobervorstadt, the Lechviertel and the eastern Ulrichviertel as well as an area on both sides of Maximilianstraße in the city center belong to the buffer zone. At the suggestion of ICOMOS, the city forest was also included in the buffer zone for better protection of the headwater streams. In total, the buffer zone has an area of about 3204 hectares.

A bunch of decorative fountains from the Renaissance period are part of the system.

Open Glider Network. Open Glider Network (OGN) is a project composed of a network of receivers and servers which aims at creating and maintaining a unified tracking platform for gliders, drones and other aircraft. Focused on tracking aircraft equipped with FLARM and OGN trackers, OGN is also open for integration of other flying objects tracking data sources.

This project relies on satellite navigation and Automatic Packet Reporting System.

This project received good attention from Fédération française de vol en planeur (FFVP), European Union Aviation Safety Agency and Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

Sumita Mitra. Sumita Basu Mitra (born 1949) is an Indian-American inventor who is a professor at the University of South Florida. She developed the nanomaterials used in state-of-the-art 3M dental composites, which have been used in billions of procedures around the world. She is a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Inventors and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Early life and education 
Mitra was born in India, where she spent her childhood. She was an undergraduate student at Presidency College Calcutta and majored in chemistry. After graduating, she joined the University of Calcutta for a master's degree in chemistry. She moved to the United States for graduate studies and specialized in polymer chemistry. She was based at the University of Michigan, where she worked alongside Richard Lawton. She joined Case Western Reserve University as a postdoctoral fellow in polymer chemistry.

Research and career 
In 1978, Mitra joined 3M, where she worked as a senior chemist focusing on materials for health care. She specialized in nanotechnology, adhesion science and surface chemistry. In particular, she focused on the realization of smart materials to help in dentistry. At the time, dentists performed tooth repairs using a combination of two different materials, microfills and microhybrid composites. Mitra designed the nanomaterials-based filler platform that 3M uses for all state-of-the-art dental restoratives. Nanoparticles ('nanomeric filler particles') within these materials imitate the natural enamel of teeth, which allow them to remain glossy and strong. She showed that these materials could be used to restore teeth in any area of the mouth. These platforms enabled the realization of the Filtek composites. These composites have been used in hundreds of millions of procedures around the world. The first generation of the composites were launched in 2002 and the second generation in 2005.

After retiring from 3M in 2010, Mitra established her own consulting company. She joined the Institute for Advanced Discovery at the University of South Florida in 2021. Mitra holds almost one hundred patents in nano composites and dental adhesives.
