George William Osborn Howe. George William Osborn Howe D.Sc. LL.D. (4 December 1875, in Charlton, Kent – 7 November 1960) was a British electrical engineer.

After education at the Roan School, Greenwich, Howe was apprenticed to Siemens Brothers, at Woolwich, where he worked for seven years. During that time he attended evening classes at Woolwich Polytechnic (eventually merged into the University of Greenwich) and, as an outstanding student, received an Whitford Exhibition scholarship and a senior county scholarship. With this financial aid, Howe studied for three years at Armstrong College, graduating with honours in 1900. He was then employed for two years by Siemens & Halske, at Charlottenburg (Berlin).

Howe translated Adolf Thomälen's 1903 textbook Kurzes Lehrbuch der Elektrotechnik into the 1907 A Text-book of Electrical Engineering.

From 1903 to 1905 Howe was a lecturer at Hull Technical College. He became in 1905 a lecturer, and became in 1909 an assistant professor, in electrical engineering at the City and Guilds Engineering College, South Kensington (eventually merged into Imperial College London). From 1920 to 1921 he was head of the Department of Electrical Standards and Measurements at the National Physical Laboratory. 

In 1921 Howe was appointed the first James Watt Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. He retained his professorial chair until his retirement in 1946. He was honoured with an LL.D. in 1947.

He read several papers on wireless telegraphy before the Royal Society, the British Association, and the Physical Society of Edinburgh. In 1912 the Royal Society of Arts awarded him their silver medal for his paper Recent Developments in Radio-telegraphy. In 1924 he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1924 in Toronto. The Institution of Electrical Engineers awarded him their Faraday Medal in 1956.

Refining (glass). Refining is the removal of bubbles from the molten glass. Alternatively the term "Fining" is used, in this case, "refining" refers to the chemical processes only.

Refining is supported by high temperature and stirring, as well as chemical reactions caused by refining agents. Refining agents increase the volume of bubbles and “seeds” (small bubbles), facilitating their ascension.  For the most common types of glass production sulfate raw materials are used, in particular, NaSO, decomposing into SO and O. 
Glass types that melt at comparatively high temperature, such as borosilicate glasses, use chlorides, such as NaCl, having a sufficiently high vapour pressure at refining temperatures.  Alkali-free glasses with high melting temperature, such as LC display glasses, use tin oxide, SnO. 
In the following cooling process gases from bubbles are reabsorbed in the melt. Redox agents such as SbO may release or absorb oxygen depending on temperature and composition. Apart from chemical refining, bubbling, i.e. direct blowing of gas into the melt is used. Less common are methods like ultrasonic refining or low-pressure refining.

Build-on-demand. Build-on-demand or manufacturing on demand (MOD) refers to a manufacturing process where goods are produced only when or as they are required. This allows scalability and adjustable assemblies depending on the current needs of the part requestor or client.

Manufacturing on demand has the potential to markedly affect the manufacturing industry by shortening lead times and reducing costs. Manufacturing previously relied on Request for quotes (RfQs) that were not digitally obtainable.

Examples 
Audio and video discs Recordable discs with audio and/or video content can be published from companies to customers via manufacture on demand. This differs from traditional releases as the discs are only produced on demand, rather than being stored in a warehouse, eliminating inventory. Many companies have taken advantage of this new process, including Warner Bros. (Warner Archive Collection), Smithsonian Folkways (Custom CDs), and Sony.

DRK (car). The DRK is a three-wheeled kit car produced by DRK Kits of Ellesmere Port, England, between 1987 and 1998. The car was introduced at the Cheshire Kit Car show in May 1986, where its positive reception prompted the formation of the company to build it.

The car has a two front wheels, one rear wheel configuration, with front-wheel drive. Its wooden body is encased in 20 swg aluminium, secured to a steel chassis. The mechanical components needed to complete the DRK could come from a Renault 4, 5 or 6, which gave a choice of engines from  to  turbo. Kits were available from about £2400, but most customers had the mechanical components fitted by the factory.

In 1990 DRK Kits was sold to a firm of body repairers, Callister & Roscoe; until then building the cars had been a part-time hobby for its designers. Derek and Robert Callister became full-time partners in the new venture, building customised DRKs to order. The Callister brothers decided to retire in 1998 and production ended, by which time 59 cars had been built.

USA-282. USA-282, also known as SBIRS GEO-4, is a United States military satellite and part of the Space-Based Infrared System.

Overview 
The SBIRS program was designed to provide a seamless operational transition from DSP to SBIRS and meet jointly-defined requirements of the defense and intelligence communities in support of the missile early warning, missile defense, battlespace awareness and technical intelligence mission areas.

The SBIRS satellites are a replacement for the Defense Support Program (DSP) early warning system. They are intended to detect ballistic missile launches, as well as various other events in the infrared spectrum, including nuclear explosions, aircraft flights, space object entries and reentries, wildfires and spacecraft launches.

Satellite description 
SBIRS GEO-4 was manufactured by Lockheed Martin Space, at production facility in Sunnyvale, California, and is built upon the A2100M satellite bus. The Atlas V launch vehicle used for SBIRS GEO-4 flew with a strap-on booster, a different configuration from the previous three SBIRS GEO launches. This was done as part of a space debris mitigation effort, to allow the Centaur upper stage to preserve sufficient fuel for a deorbit burn.

Launch 
SBIRS GEO-4 was the third geostationary SBIRS satellite to be built, Satellite Vehicle 3 (SV-3). Construction of the satellite was completed before it was required to launch, so the spacecraft was placed into storage. The U.S. Air Force later opted to launch Satellite Vehicle 4 (SV-4) first as SBIRS GEO-3, saving the cost of putting the newly-completed SV-4 into storage and additional testing that would be needed upon taking it back out.

The Atlas V, with the tail number AV-076, flew in its 411 configuration. This Atlas V configuration differs from the 401 version used for the previous three SBIRS GEO launches – which did not use any solid rocket booster (SRB). The change of configuration has ostensibly been made to ensure Centaur can be deorbited after satellite separation, helping to mitigate space debris. On previous SBIRS GEO launches, Centaur has remained in a disposal orbit, close to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), at the end of its mission.

It was launched on 20 January 2018 from Cape Canaveral (CCAFS), atop an Atlas V 411 launch vehicle.

Mission 
The U.S. Air Force announced the satellite was operating as expected and had established initial communications with it.
