Eagle Vision 1 (Commercial Satellite Imagery). Eagle Vision One (EV1) was a military based Commercial Satellite Imagery (CSI) capability programmed and funded by HQ AF/A2QS (Air Force ISR Innovations). It is located at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and is staffed by intelligence personnel assigned to the 24th Intelligence Squadron (24IS). The mission of EV1 is to maintain a deployable commercial satellite imagery system ready to support contingency operations, theater security cooperation events, and disaster relief efforts. The EV1 system consists of the two elements: a Data Acquisition Segment (DAS) which includes a direct downlink antenna and a computer server shelter that collects and processes imagery into a standard format, and a transit-cased Data Integration Segment (DIS) that processes the standard format products into useful products.

EV1 works with satellite vendors from France (Spot 6 & 7, Pléiades 1A & 1B), Canada (RADARSAT 1 & 2), and India (CARTOSAT1 & 2) to provide unclassified imagery to customers.

EV1 is part of a larger Eagle Vision enterprise that consists of four other units stationed in South Carolina, Alabama, California, and Hawaii.

Newest tools at EV1: EVR2EST is an unclassified imagery server used to upload and share imagery products. See the link below to view the EVR2EST server.

Germanium(II) iodide. Germanium(II) iodide is an iodide of germanium, with the chemical formula of GeI2.

Preparation 
Germanium(II) iodide can be produced by reacting germanium(IV) iodide with hydriodic acid and hypophosphorous acid and water:

It can also be formed by the reaction of germanium monosulfide or germanium monoxide and hydrogen iodide.

}

It can also be produced from the direct reaction of germanium and iodine at 200 – 400 °C:

Germanium(II) iodide can also be formed from the decomposition of HGeI3, which can be prepared by reacting HGeCl3 with hydroiodic acid:

Properties 

Germanium(II) iodide is a yellow crystal that slowly hydrolyzes into germanium(II) hydroxide in the presence of moisture. It is insoluble in hydrocarbons and slightly soluble in chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. It has a cadmium iodide structure with lattice parameters a = 413 pm and c = 679 pm. It disproportionates to germanium and germanium tetraiodide at 550 °C.

Applications 

Germanium(II) iodide can react with carbene to form stable compounds. It is also used in the electronics industry to produce germanium layers epitaxially through disproportionation reactions.

Grinnell Aeroplane. The Grinnell Aeroplane Company was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Grinnell, Iowa, that built aircraft prior to World War I.

History
The company was formed to develop the "Scout" aircraft designed by Billy Robinson. Robinson trained at the Max Lille school in Cicero, Chicago as a mechanic, learning to fly Wright aircraft and Nieuports. He worked for a brief time as a partner in the National Aeroplane Company before leaving to Iowa in 1913. His custom built parasol was the first to fly airmail from Iowa, setting a non-stop distance record of 390 miles. In 1914, the Grinnell Aeroplane company was founded with D.S. Morrison as President. Robinson developed a 706 cubic inch 100 hp six-cylinder air cooled radial engine to be built by the company to power its aircraft. In 1916, fellow Cicero aviator and designer, Otto Timm joined Grinnell Aeroplane as an instructor, and helped develop the Grinnell Biplane. In 1916, the company offered $10,000, training for one pilot from each state, at its factory in order to establish an Iowa station of the Aero Coast Patrol System, a Navy sponsored effort at a coast guard.

Robinson died in May 1916 attempting to break a 17,000 ft altitude record, crashing in Ewart, Iowa. His aircraft was witnessed climbing to altitude, before drifting down like a falling leaf, and gliding to a landing, which was controlled enough to leave skid marks, but rough enough to rupture the fuel tank and ignite the aircraft. Hypoxia was suspected among other reasons for the crash, but the fire made it impossible to verify the exact cause. After the crash Grinnell hired aerobatic pilot A.C. Beech. Beech was to train students using ground trainers to simulate control movements. Business did not pick up after the loss of Robinson. The Robinson engine was tested by the Army in late 1918, but the armistice signing precluded further development. The company was dissolved by 1918.

In the summer of 1916, Otto Timm developed his own Robinson-powered biplane at Grinnell with oversize ailerons for aerobatic demonstration flights. Timm would later found the O.W. Timm Aircraft Company. A Robinson radial engine built by the Dodge Tool company is currently on display at Grinnell College.

Polikarpov Ivanov. 

The Polikarpov Ivanov was a 1930s prototype Soviet ground attack monoplane designed by Polikarpov for a soviet government procurement competition codenamed Ivanov.

Design
The Ivanov was an all-metal low-wing monoplane with a retractable conventional landing gear and powered by a  Shevtsov M-62 radial engine. It was fitted with four wing-mounted ShKAS machine guns with a moveable turret-mounted Berezin UBT fitted at the rear of the cockpit area.

Development
Two prototypes were under construction in 1938 and the first was tested from February to August 1938. The Ivanov was found to need better flying qualities and with the competing Kharkov R-10 already in production the second prototype was not completed and the programme was abandoned.

Australian Lightwing SP-6000. The Australian Lightwing SP-6000 (or SP6000) was an Australian kit aircraft under development by Australian Lightwing of Ballina, New South Wales. The aircraft was intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

By 2017 the project's webpage had been removed and it was no longer listed on the company website. It is likely that development has ended.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Australian rules for amateur-built aircraft. It featured a cantilever low-wing or optionally strut-braced high-wing, a six-seat enclosed cabin, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The SP-6000's fuselage was intended to be made from fibreglass with the wing constructed of 6061-T6 aluminium, with S-glass control surfaces. It was to be powered by a Corvette LS3 automotive engine conversion, a  Lycoming IO-360 four-stroke aircraft engine or a turboprop powerplant. The cabin was planned include an optional toilet and galley.

The initial design was unpressurized, but the company was considering a follow-on pressurized version. The high wing version was to have a cruise speed of , while the low-wing version would have cruised at an estimated .

Leighton relationship. In atmospheric chemistry, the Leighton relationship is an equation that determines the concentration of tropospheric ozone in areas polluted by the presence of nitrogen oxides. Ozone in the troposphere is primarily produced through the photolysis of nitrogen dioxide by photons with wavelengths (λ) less than 420 nanometers, which are able to reach the lowest levels of the atmosphere, through the following mechanism:

The symbol M represents a "third body", an unspecified molecular species that must interact with the reactants in order to carry away energy from the exothermic reaction. The 3P designation on the atomic O species is the term symbol for its electronic state, indicating that it is in a spin triplet state, which is the ground electronic state of atomic O. This series of reactions creates a null cycle, in which there is no net production or loss of any species involved. Since O(3P) is very reactive and O2 is abundant, O(3P) can be assumed to be in steady state, and thus an equation linking the concentrations of the species involved can be derived, giving the Leighton relationship:

 

This equation shows how production of ozone is directly related to the solar intensity, and hence to the zenith angle, due to the reliance on photolysis of NO2. The yield of ozone will therefore be greatest during the day, especially at noon and during the summer season. This relationship also demonstrates how high concentrations of both ozone and nitric oxide are unfeasible. However, NO can react with peroxyl radicals to produce NO2 without loss of ozone:

 RO2 + NO → NO2 + RO

thus providing another pathway to allow for the buildup of ozone by breaking the above null cycle.

This relationship is named after Philip Leighton, author of the 1961 book Photochemistry of Air Pollution, in recognition of his contributions in the understanding of tropospheric chemistry. Computer models of atmospheric chemistry utilize the Leighton relationship to minimize complexity by deducing the concentration of one of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric oxide when the concentrations of the other two are known.

Denis-Perron dam. Denis-Perron dam () is a rockfill embankment dam spanning the Sainte-Marguerite River, a tributary of the lower Saint Lawrence River, in eastern Quebec, Canada. Standing  high and  long, the dam is the primary component of Hydro-Québec's Sainte-Marguerite 3 hydroelectric project. The dam is the second highest in Quebec and the hydraulic head afforded to its power plant is also the largest in the province.

Construction on the dam began in 1994 after seven years of studies and planning. Before construction began on the dam proper, a  high,  long cofferdam was raised to divert the river through a tunnel west of the dam site. An average of 500 workers and a maximum of 1,200, most of whom lived in a construction camp that opened in January 1995, were employed at the dam site during construction. After the cutting of some 233 million board feet of lumber from the future reservoir site, the dam began to impound water in 1998 and finally reached capacity in 2001. The dam and reservoir lie in a very remote region, and an  long access road had to be built to facilitate transportation to the construction site. No area residents were displaced as a result of the remote location, but a large portion of the territory of the indigenous Innu people was flooded. In 1994, Hydro-Québec paid the local Innu CA$20.9 million as compensation.

Full project completion was reached in 2002 at a cost of CA$2.4 billion, making it one of the most significant 21st century hydroelectric developments in North America. After the dam was finished, temporary facilities used during construction were dismantled to ease impact on the local environment. The main workers' camp was actually demolished in 2001, a year before the project's final completion. These areas were replanted with some six hundred thousand trees. Hydroelectricity generation began in 2003. As of 2003, the dam was projected to generate about 2.73 TWh of electricity per year, or an average output of just over 310 megawatts (MW).

The dam impounds a  long,  reservoir with a capacity of about . Excess water is released through a set of outlet works at the base of the dam, with a capacity of , and an emergency spillway about  northwest of the dam. The spillway's three gates have a total capacity of , and its outflow rejoins the river about  below the base of the dam. Water is fed from the reservoir through an  long penstock to the Sainte-Marguerite 3 generating plant, which is located underground and can produce up to 882 MW from two turbines. Hydro-Québec is in the process of adding a third unit, bringing the total generating capacity to 1,322 MW, scheduled for completion in 2014.

Energy-related products. Energy-related products (ErP) are products that use energy, or that do not use energy but have an indirect impact on energy consumption, such as water using devices, building insulation products, windows, etc. Compared to ErP, energy-using products (EuP) are products which are dependent on energy input (electricity etc.).
All ErP and EuP are subject to energy efficiency requirements.

ErP Directive
In November 2009, the Eco-Design Directive EuP was replaced with the new energy-related products directive (ErP) 2009/125/EC. The old directive for energy using products only covered products that used energy, such as washing machines or computers. The new ErP-Directive covers products under the old EuP Directive as well as products that are energy-related and do not directly use energy such as water-saving taps and showerheads. With this directive, the European Union regulator laid the groundwork for specific implementing measures affecting a broad range of EuP and ErP. The goal is the reduction of energy along the supply chain: from the design stage throughout production, transport, packaging and so on. Products that comply with this directive are easily recognized by carrying the CE marking. In this case, the CE mark covers product safety and energy efficiency requirements.
