NeoLoad. NeoLoad (load and stress testing) is an automated performance testing platform for enterprise organizations continuously testing from APIs to applications. It provides testers and developers automatic test design and maintenance, the most realistic simulation of user behavior, fast root cause analysis and built-in integrations with the entire software development lifecycle toolchain. It is designed, developed and marketed by Neotys, a privately owned company based in Gémenos, France.

Features 
NeoLoad works by simulating traffic (up to millions of users) to determine application performance under load, analyze response times and pinpoint the number of the simultaneous users which the Internet, intranet or mobile application can handle. Tests can be performed from inside the firewall (in-house) or from the cloud.

In addition to simulating network traffic, it also simulates end-user transaction activity including common tasks like submitting forms or executing searches by emulating "virtual" users accessing web application modules. It provides the performance information required to troubleshoot bottlenecks for tuning the application and the supporting servers. It monitors the newest web, database and application servers such as JBoss application server, HP-UX 11, Weblogic, WebSphere, Apache Tomcat, and MySQL database.

Its "scripts" are developed via a GUI, which provides conditions, loops, and other programming structures. JavaScript may be inserted for more advanced uses, such as password encryption.

 It supports basic, digest, NTLM and form-based authentication.
 It can record HTTP and HTTPS requests, play them back and supports client certificate authentication.
 It supports ActiveX components as long as communication with the server is via the HTTP protocol.
 It supports any type of web application including those using J2EE, .NET, AJAX, Flex, Silverlight, GWT, SOAP, PHP, Push technology, etc. as long as they are HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 compliant.
 It supports hybrid and native mobile applications.
 It supports video (HTTP streaming and RTMP).
 JSON and SPDY protocol are also supported.
 It emulates Network conditions (latency, packet loss and bandwidth).

On March 30, 2021, Neotys was acquired by Tricentis.

China Experimental Fast Reactor. The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) is China's first fast nuclear reactor, and is located outside Beijing at the China Institute of Atomic Energy. 
It aims to provide China with fast-reactor design, construction, and operational experience, and will be a key facility for testing and researching components and materials to be used in subsequent fast reactors. 
The reactor achieved first criticality on July 21, 2010
and started generating power a year later on July 21, 2011.
In October 2012 Xinhua announced that the CEFR has passed official checks.
The CEFR was brought to full power at 5.00pm on 15 December 2014 and operated at this level continuously for three full days.

CEFR is a 65 MW thermal, 20 MW electric, sodium-cooled, pool-type reactor with a 30-year design lifetime and a target burnup of 100 MWd/kg. 
The CEFR was built by Russia's OKBM Afrikantov in collaboration with OKB Gidropress, NIKIET and Kurchatov Institute.

The CEFR project was approved by the Chinese State Council in 1992, with final approval given in 1995. 
The China Experimental Fast Reactor is one of the major energy projects under 863 Program, the national high-tech research and development program. The China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) is the organizer of the project's construction.

Japan's Atomic Energy Agency (AEA) reported that the reactor stopped generating electricity in October 2011 following an accident; however, the director of the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) denied that any accident had occurred.

Dicing tape. Dicing tape is a backing tape used during wafer dicing or some other microelectronic substrate separation, the cutting apart of pieces of semiconductor or other material following wafer or module microfabrication. The tape holds the pieces of the substrate, in case of a wafer called as die, together during the cutting process, mounting them to a thin metal frame. The dies/substrate pieces are removed from the dicing tape later on in the electronics manufacturing process.

Tape types
Dicing tape can be made of PVC, polyolefin, or polyethylene backing material with an adhesive to hold the wafer or substrate in place. In some cases dicing tape will have a release liner that will be removed prior to mounting the tape to the backside of the wafers, with a variety of adhesive strengths, designed for various wafer/substrate sizes and materials.
 UV tapes are dicing tapes in which the adhesive bond is broken by exposure to UV light after dicing, allowing the adhesive to be stronger during cutting while still allowing clean and easy removal. Semiconductor Tapes and Materials. UV equipment can range from low power (a few mW/cm2) to high power (more than 200 mW/cm2). Higher power results in a more complete cure, lower adhesion and reduced adhesive residue, while lower power is safer.
 Thermal release tapes (typically PET material) have been developed for specific cases when etching or material printing is needed after the tape is installed. These tapes can also handle heavy substrates such as ceramic substrates or printed circuit boards (PCBs/PWBs) if needed. Their adhesion disappears when heat (typically ) is applied.

GADDAG. A GADDAG is a data structure presented by Steven Gordon in 1994, for use in generating moves for Scrabble and other word-generation games where such moves require words that "hook into" existing words.  It is often in contrast to move-generation algorithms using a directed acyclic word graph (DAWG) such as the one used by Maven.  It is generally twice as fast as the traditional DAWG algorithms, but take about 5 times as much space for regulation Scrabble dictionaries.

Quackle, an open-source Scrabble program, uses a GADDAG to generate moves.

Description

The name GADDAG comes from DAG for directed acyclic graph, prefixed by its own reverse.

A GADDAG is a specialization of a Trie, containing states and branches to other GADDAGs.  It is distinct for its storage of every reversed prefix of every word in a dictionary.  This means every word has as many representations as it does letters;  since the average word in most Scrabble regulation dictionaries is 5 letters long, this makes the GADDAG about 5 times as big as a simple DAWG.

Definition
For any word in a dictionary that is formed by a non-empty prefix x and a suffix y, a GADDAG contains a direct, deterministic path for any string REV(x)+y, where + is a concatenation operator.

For example, for the word "explain," a GADDAG will contain direct paths to the strings

 e+xplain
 xe+plain
 pxe+lain
 lpxe+ain
 alpxe+in
 ialpxe+n
 nialpxe

This setup enables searching for a word given any letter that occurs in it.

Use in move generation
Any move-generation algorithm must adhere to three types of constraints:

 Board constraints:  one may only build by 'hooking' onto existing letters of the board, and one may only place tiles on empty squares.
 Rack constraints: one may only place tiles with letters on one's rack.
 Dictionary constraint: all words resulting from the placement of tiles exist in the game's dictionary.

DAWG-based algorithms take advantage of the second and third constraint:  the DAWG is built around the dictionary, and is traversed using tiles in the rack.  It fails, however, to address the first constraint:  supposing one want to 'hook into' the letter P in HARPY, and the board has 2 spaces before the P, one must search the dictionary for all words containing letters from the rack where the third letter is P.  This is inefficient when searching through the DAWG, as many searches through the trie will be fruitless.

This is addressed by the GADDAG's storage of prefixes:  by traversing the P branch of a GADDAG, one sees all words that have a P somewhere in their composition, and can "travel up" the prefix to form the word with tiles in the rack.  To use the example from the  section, searching for P turns up "pxe+lain". The letters between P and the + can be placed above the P on the board, and the rest below it (if space on the board permits).

Nonidet P-40. Nonidet P-40 is a nonionic, non-denaturing detergent. Its official IUPAC name is octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. 

Nonidet P-40 is sometimes abbreviated as NP-40, but should not be confused with a different detergent by the same name NP-40, nonylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol of the Tergitol NP series of Dow Chemicals.

Nonidet was a trademark of Shell Chemical Co. from 1956 to the early 2000s, but they no longer make it.

Nonidet P-40 is no longer sold by the chemical company Sigma-Aldrich. Sigma-Aldrich has replaced Nonidet P-40 with IGEPAL CA-630, which is described as a "nonionic, non-denaturing detergent".  Sigma-Aldrich claims that IGEPAL CA-630 is "chemically indistinguishable from Nonidet P-40".

IGEPAL consists of octyl-phenoxy(polyoxyethylene)ethanol. Tergitol and the Sigma and BioChemica Nonidet P40 substitute detergents consist of nonyl-phenyl-polyethylene glycol. The original Shell Nonidet P-40 consisted of octyl-phenoxy(polyoxyethylene)ethanol, making IGEPAL the most comparable of the four substitutes.

Solar road stud. Solar road studs are flashing solar cell powered LED low-maintenance lighting devices that delineate road edges and centrelines. Embedded in the road surface, they are an electronic improvement on the traditional cat's eyes and raised pavement marker in that they may give drivers a larger reaction window.

Averaging about 100 mm square or 100 mm diameter and about 40 mm thick, units are extremely robust to avoid damage by passing vehicles, and are normally constructed of engineering plastics and polycarbonates. Use of solar road studs reduces the necessity of headlight main beams and the accompanying hazard of dazzling oncoming drivers. They are also more visible in rain and fog conditions where the old type retroreflectors and road markings are problematic. The solar cells charge batteries or capacitors during sunlit hours, over which period the flashing LEDs are turned off by a photoswitch.

Uses 
Some examples of uses are listed:

 Ground lights to warn traffic of an upcoming road hazard or road work. 
 Improving road illumination in general within the city at night.
 Improving road illumination on winding hazardous back roads at night. 
 Improving road illumination at industrial or shipping sites. 
 Remote airstrip runway lighting.
 Lighting for outdoor mining operations.
 Adding or improving illumination on farms for animal or equipment. 
 At home outdoor décor.
