Robert Huber (engineer). Robert Huber (7 July 1901 – 7 April 1995) was a Swiss mechanical engineer.

Life
Robert Huber was born on 7 July 1901 in Freienstein, Switzerland. He attended a primary school in Freienstein from 1908 to 1914 and a secondary school in Freienstein from 1914 to 1916. From 1916 to 1920 he attended a high school in Zürich. From 1920 to 1924 he studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (now ETH Zurich) under Professor Aurel Stodola.

On 12 August 1942, Huber married Ursula Meyer. Huber wrote a biography in the 1980s. He died on 7 April 1995.

Career
In 1924, Huber became Technical Director of the Bureau Technique Pescara where he supervised the design of nearly 30 different sizes and types of free-piston engine and acquired the nickname "Mr Free Piston". The first was the AC-2, running on petrol (gasoline). The second was the AC-3, which was similar but ran on diesel fuel. Eighteen types of free-piston engine  were built and tested.

In 1932, Huber read a book by Professor Lomonosov about diesel locomotives. He also heard of a proposal by Petro Shelest for turbines driven by compressed air. This information gave him the idea of developing the free-piston gas turbine. Several of these were designed but not built. Finally, in 1938–39, the world's first free-piston generator was built. It used two G-30 machines and drove an 800 kW alternator.

Huber stayed at Bureau Technique Pescara (which became Société d'études mécaniques et énergétiques (SEME) in 1939) until 1962. During his time there, thousands of free-piston engines had been sold. Huber continued to work on free-piston engines until at least 1967.

Huber was a pioneer in the development of common rail fuel injection in the 1960s.

Patents
Robert Huber has about 40 patents related to free-piston engines. A few examples are listed below:
 US2452194 (A), published 1948-10-26, Free piston machine 
 US2645213 (A), published 1953-07-14, Free piston engine having hollow pistons

CAREN. CAREN (Assisted) protocol—is a versatile, multi-sensory virtual reality system used for the treatment and rehabilitation of human locomotion, walking, as well as pain, posture, balancing spinal stability and motor control integration.

History
The company managed project work to ensure growth without the need for venture capital or going public until 1998. In 1997, MOTEK applied for a research grant from the European Commission to develop the system now known as CAREN. This grant was received in 1998 and enabled the development of CAREN's first prototype.
 
The company also received external funding through MOTEK and NPM capital, both Dutch-based investment companies.
 
The first production-grade CAREN system was sold to the University of Groningen in 2000. Within the annals of CAREN’s beginnings, the technology was being used primarily by scientific and military organizations because of the sheer complexity of its modern intricacies and somewhat complicated testing.

Meredith Gwynne Evans. Meredith Gwynne Evans, FRS (2 December 1904 – 25 December 1952) was a British physical chemist who made important contributions to the theory of chemical reaction rates and reaction mechanisms. Together with Henry Eyring and Michael Polanyi, Meredith Gwynne Evans is one of the founders of the transition state theory.

Early life and education
Meredith Gwynne Evans was born in Atherton, a suburb of Manchester, on 2 December 1904 and the son of Frederick George Evans, an elementary schoolmaster from Pembrokeshire, Wales, and his wife, Margaretta Eleanora Williams. He was the eldest son in a family of three sons and one daughter.

Evans attended the elementary school at which his father was Headmaster, won a County Scholarship to Leigh Grammar School, and was educated at the University of Manchester.

One of MG's brothers, AG Evans, worked with him and later took the chair of chemistry at University College Cardiff, beating off the challenge of E. A. Moelwyn-Hughes.

Career
Evans was appointed Assistant Lecturer at the University of Manchester from 1929 until 1939, when he became Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Leeds. One of Evan's students was George Porter, who later noted (in a conversation with Sir John Meurig Thomas) that Evans was the most brilliant chemist he had ever met. (George Porter went on to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1967.) Evans returned to the University of Manchester in 1949. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1947.

Research
His earliest research was on problems of adsorption of gases on chabazite and other zeolites.  Later on, he started working on theoretical chemistry and its link with quantum mechanics. In this research field, he worked with Douglas Hartree and Lawrence Bragg to apply quantum mechanics to chemical problems.

In 1933, M. G. Evans was awarded a Rockefeller Scholarship and went to Princeton University to work with Hugh Taylor and Henry Eyring, amongst others. Back in Manchester, Evans became one of Michael Polanyi's principal coworkers on the development of the transition state theory. In 1935, with only one month difference, both Henry Eyring in Princeton, and Michael Polanyi and Meredith Gwynne Evans in Manchester published the founding papers on transition state theory, formulating what is now known as the "Eyring equation" which opened up a new era in the study of chemical kinetics.

Death
Evans died on 25 December 1952 in Manchester.

Guitar pickup potting. Guitar pickup potting is a process whereby the fine wire coils of a guitar pickup are encapsulated in a substance that inhibits movement of the coil. Guitar pickups are generally made from bobbins wrapped in many thousands of turns of fine wire. If the wire is left unpotted it is possible for unwanted microphonics or oscillations to occur, causing the pickup to "howl". This is often apparent when using overdriven amplifiers and distortion pedals.
Potting also protects the delicate winding from damage.

Generally, the potting medium is a wax mixture that is melted(see photo) and then permeates the wire coils. Other substances such as nitrocellulose lacquer or epoxy resins can also be used.

He entered Tangshan Jiaotong University (now Southwest Jiaotong University) in 1927 and graduated in 1932. After college, he worked as an apprentice engineer at Hangzhou-Zhejiang Railway. In 1934, Huang went to the United States. He received a master's degree from Cornell University in hydrology in 1935 and a doctor of engineering degree from University of Illinois in 1937.

In 1945, Huang became an engineer in China's Ministry of Water Resources. He was the chief engineer and head of the Gansu Water Conservancy Bureau from 1947 till April 1949. He was an adviser of Northeast China Water Conservancy Administration in September 1949. He taught at Tangshan Jiaotong University starting in June 1950, and he was transferred to Tsinghua University in 1953.

In 1957, Huang was labeled a "Rightist" and persecuted by Mao Zedong for his criticism of the Sanmenxia Dam on the Yellow River. Then he was sent to the Poyang Lake, Jiangxi to do hard labor, and was transferred back to Tsinghua University in 1974. During Cultural Revolution, the students of Tsinghua University paraded him and other "reactionary figures" through the streets and beat them in public. Huang was exonerated by the Tsinghua University Communist Party Committee on February 26, 1980.

On August 27, 2001, Huang died on the campus of Tsinghua University. He was buried on April 5, 2021 with his wife, Ding Yujun, at Fenghuangshan Cemetery, Area 10 Row 8 number 12, Changping District, Beijing, China.

Thompson's Bridge. Thompson's Bridge is a historic stone bridge in rural Franklin County, Maine.  Built c. 1808, it is one of a very small number of surviving stone lintel bridges in the state, a type that were once quite common.  It carries a local dirt road across Josiah Creek in the Allen's Mills section of Industry, and is located near (and possibly on) the border with neighboring Somerset County.  The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

The bridge abutments consist of local fieldstone arranged in dry laid courses.  The main span consists of large granite slabs laid across the narrow opening between the abutments.  A layer of earth is built above these slabs, supporting the dirt roadway, which is about  wide.  The southern abutment has extensive wingwalls, giving that structure a total width of about .

The road which the bridge carries was probably laid out in 1808, during the early period of Industry's settlement.  John Thompson had a house and established a grist mill nearby in 1805.  The area had been abandoned by the late 19th century, and the roadway south of the bridge is unmaintained and in deteriorated condition.  In a 1924 survey, the state identified more than 100 of this type of bridge; as of 1987, only three were known to survive in relatively unaltered condition.  The bridge is also one of the town of Industry's oldest structures; its oldest surviving building has an estimated construction date of 1820.

Three Bridges, London. Three Bridges, formally known as Windmill Bridge, is a three-level crossing of bridges in Southall, west London, England. The project was Brunel's last to be finished before he died on 15 September 1859.

Design and Usage 
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the two cast iron bridges are arranged to allow the routes of the Grand Junction Canal, Great Western and Brentford Railway, and Windmill Lane to cross each other, with the road above the canal which is above the railway.

As the railway was the most recent addition, the design allowed the railway to be in a deep cutting so it wasn't visible from and didn't enter Osterley Park as well as being economically cheaper. Work began in 1856, and was completed in 1859. 

The structure is a scheduled monument and is adjacent to a homonymous park

Engineering and Technology History Wiki. The Engineering and Technology History Wiki (ETHW) is a MediaWiki-based website dedicated to the history of technology. It started operating in 2015. It consists of articles, first-hand accounts, oral histories, landmarks and milestones.

A partnership between the United Engineering Foundation (UEF) and its member engineering organizations ASCE, AIME, AIChE, ASME, IEEE as well as the Society of Women Engineers is developing the ETHW as a central repository for the documentation, analysis and explanation of the history of technology.

Origins 
In September 2008, the IEEE History Committee founded the IEEE Global History Network, which operated from 2008 to 2014. The ETHW became successor to the former IEEE Global History Network (IEEE GHN).

Originally, the United Engineering Foundation had made a grant to develop an engineering intersociety web platform as a central historical repository. Initially, the work was mainly done at the IEEE History Center. annexed to the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

At the beginning, most content was related to electrical, electronics and computer engineering. As the fields of civil engineering, mining, metallurgical and petroleum engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering are covered by members of the respective organizations now, ETHW is becoming a global record for preserving knowledge of the history of technological innovation in a broad sense. It differs from other online sources, as personal accounts of technical innovators as primary sources are made available to the public. After its start as a common platform for several engineering societies, the Society of Women Engineers and the Society of Petroleum Engineers have contributed new content as well.

As of 2018, ETHW included thousands of wiki entries, and recorded over 800 oral histories.

Comparison with Wikipedia 
ETHW is a semi-open wiki. In contrast to Wikipedia, no anonymous writing is allowed. Members of the affiliated engineering organizations can contribute their own autobiographical professional history and experiences as First-hand History or are interviewed to provide their Oral History. Administrators review these postings to see whether they conform with the rules established. In contrast to ETHW encyclopedia articles and landmarks/milestones, such content is subjective and not peer reviewed. Changes can only be made by the original author. Not all content can be used freely by everybody.
