Fresh Breeze Flyke. The Fresh Breeze Flyke () is a German powered parachute tricycle designed and produced by Fresh Breeze of Wedemark. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Flyke is a powered parachute that is also a roadable tricycle that can be pedaled to an airport to launch it or ridden cross country. The manufacturer says, "There are obvious advantages: You can enjoy the comfort and simplicity of this Aircraft and also use it on the road to get to your airfield or plan trips. This trike is famous for crossing whole countries while flying and cycling over borders. You take your tent with you and camp right there where you land and go on the next day. Landing out on a field and cycle to the next gas station. With this trike there are no boundaries."

The Flyke was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category and the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules. It features a parachute-style wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single  Hirth F33 engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft carriage is built from powder coated aluminium with some steel parts. In flight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has under-seat, handle-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension. For ground use the front wheel is powered by pedals via a short chain and a Nexus 7-speed hub transmission and can be adjusted to accommodate pilots from  in height. Road gearing is standard equipment, with mountain gearing optional. An optional telescoping rear axle allows a narrow wheel track for road use and a wider one for take-off and landing to increase stability and reduce the risk of roll-overs. Optional equipment includes wheel fenders, head and tail light mounts and a ballistic parachute. There is space to stow the canopy behind the seat for road transport.

Cochan (sternwheeler). Cochan, (Quechan) last of the stern-wheel steamboats  built for the Colorado Steam Navigation Company (CSNC).  It ran on the Colorado River between 1900 and 1909.

History
In 1899 Issac Polhamus and Jack Mellon owners of the CSNC had to choose one of their remaining steamboats to rebuild to keep up with the competition.  The old boats were wearing out in competition with newer boats.  Both the 23-year-old Mohave II and the Gila, with 35 years on the Colorado River, had worn hulls only kept going with a lot of maintenance.  The Gila despite its age had better engines, and so it was chosen.

In late 1899 the Gila'''s machinery was refurbished and its hull rebuilt for $25,000 in the shipyard at Yuma, Arizona.  Launched on November 8, 1899, it was renamed the Cochan it was two tons lighter and 14 feet shorter than the Gila.  Cochan displaced 234 tons, was 135 feet long, 31 feet wide beam, and drew only 11 inches of water unloaded.  It could carry 125 tons of freight, drawing less than two feet of water.

In January 1900, the Cochan began carrying freight to the Quartette and Searchlight mines, competing with the St. Vallier of the Santa Ana Mining Company.  In 1900, Polhamus and Mellon built a new barge, the Siløs J. Lenis for the Cochan to tow and scrapped all their old barges.  The new barge was 150 feet long and 32 feet on the beam.  In early 1903, the Colorado River Transportation Company entered the competition with the Searchlight.

In 1905 the new Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, California Eastern Railway and Arizona and California Railroad ended the use of steamboats on the upper river and they all moved down to Yuma.  The remaining steamboats worked on irrigation projects on the lower part of the river and on repairing the 1904-1907 breach in the Alamo Canal, that directed the Colorado River into the Salton Sink and created the Salton Sea before it was repaired.  The last project, the construction of the Laguna Dam ended steam navigation on the river.

Fate of the Cochan
Just before the completion of the Laguna Dam, some 14 miles above Yuma, ended steam navigation on the lower Colorado River, the Colorado Steam Navigation Company sold its remaining boats including the Cochan to the United States Reclamation Service in 1909.  Not required by the Service, Cochan'' was dismantled in 1910.

Vivado. Vivado Design Suite is a software suite for synthesis and analysis of hardware description language (HDL) designs, superseding Xilinx ISE with additional features for system on a chip development and high-level synthesis (HLS). Vivado represents a ground-up rewrite and re-thinking of the entire design flow (compared to ISE).

Like the later versions of ISE, Vivado includes the in-built logic simulator. Vivado also introduces high-level synthesis, with a toolchain that converts C code into programmable logic.

Replacing the 15 year old ISE with Vivado Design Suite took 1000 man-years and cost US$200 million.

Features
Vivado was introduced in April 2012, and is an integrated design environment (IDE) with system-to-IC level tools built on a shared scalable data model and a common debug environment. Vivado includes electronic system level (ESL) design tools for synthesizing and verifying C-based algorithmic IP; standards based packaging of both algorithmic and RTL IP for reuse; standards based IP stitching and systems integration of all types of system building blocks; and the verification of blocks and systems. A free version WebPACK Edition of Vivado provides designers with a limited version of the design environment.

Components
The Vivado High-Level Synthesis compiler enables C, C++ and SystemC programs to be directly targeted into Xilinx devices without the need to manually create RTL. Vivado HLS is widely reviewed to increase developer productivity, and is confirmed to support C++ classes, templates, functions and operator overloading. Vivado 2014.1 introduced support for automatically converting OpenCL kernels to IP for Xilinx devices. OpenCL kernels are programs that execute across various CPU, GPU and FPGA platforms.

The Vivado Simulator is a component of the Vivado Design Suite. It is a compiled-language simulator that supports mixed-language, Tcl scripts, encrypted IP and enhanced verification.

The Vivado IP Integrator allows engineers to quickly integrate and configure IP from the large Xilinx IP library. The Integrator is also tuned for MathWorks Simulink designs built with Xilinx's System Generator and Vivado High-Level Synthesis.

The Vivado Tcl Store is a scripting system for developing add-ons to Vivado, and can be used to add and modify Vivado's capabilities. Tcl is the scripting language on which Vivado itself is based. All of Vivado's underlying functions can be invoked and controlled via Tcl scripts.

Device support
Vivado supports Xilinx's 7-series and all the newer devices (UltraScale and UltraScale+ series). For development targeting older Xilinx's devices and CPLDs, the already discontinued Xilinx ISE has to be used.

KivuWatt Power Station. KivuWatt Power Station is a  methane gas-fired thermal power plant in Rwanda.

Location
The power plant is located in Kibuye, Karongi District, in the  Western Province of Rwanda, approximately , by road, west of Kigali, the capital and largest city in the country.

Overview

KivuWatt project will extract methane from the waters of Lake Kivu and use the gas to generate electricity. The generated power will be purchased by Rwanda Energy Group (REG), the Rwandan electricity utility.

The $200 million project, owned by ContourGlobal and executed in cooperation with Wärtsilä, is expected to add 26MW of generating capacity in its first phase (ongoing now) and eventually scale up to 100MW in the coming years. In a developed country, the current 25MW would provide enough energy for 45,000 people.

Phase 1 of the project, with capacity of 25MW, was expected to start commercial operation in 2012. Phase 2 of the project, with additional capacity of 75 MW, is expected to start construction six months after the commissioning of Phase 1. The project is being developed by KivuWatt Limited, a subsidiary of ContourGlobal, under a concession agreement made with the Government of Rwanda in 2009. KivuWatt Limited plans to extract some of the estimated 60 billion cubic meters of methane gas trapped under Lake Kivu and convert that gas into electricity, something that has not been done on a large commercial scale before. Construction concluded in November 2015 and the power station was under testing and calibration from November 2015 until commissioning in June 2016.

The KivuWatt power plant was inaugurated by Rwanda's president Paul Kagame on 16 May 2016.

XML Telemetric and Command Exchange. XTCE (for XML Telemetric and Command Exchange) is an XML based data exchange format for spacecraft telemetry and command meta-data. Using XTCE the format and content of a space systems command and telemetry links can be readily exchanged between spacecraft operators and manufacturers. XTCE was originally standardized by the OMG. In April 2007 the OMG released revision 1.1 of XTCE as an OMG available specification. Version 1.0 of the XTCE specification is a CCSDS green-book specification and version 1.1 has been adopted as a CCSDS blue-book specification.

Overview
During the entire ground system development and operation phases of a mission, telemetry and telecommand definitions may be exchanged between multiple systems and organizations. Without a standard format, databases need dedicated converters to convert between the various proprietary database formats and editors. Allowing for a common database exchange format throughout the entire mission lifecycle will significantly reduce the cost of database conversions that occur in many space projects. XTCE has been developed as part of an international cooperation involving the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Goddard Space Flight Center, the European Space Agency, the United States Air Force and private industry including RT Logic, Harris, SciSys, Boeing and Lockheed Martin.  The standards development effort has been coordinated via the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems and the Object Management Group. The XML Telemetry and Command Exchange standard is now in active use as a means to exchange mission databases improving interoperability while reducing mission readiness costs.
