Manohar Balaji Sarwate (15 March 1910 – 19 February 1967), was an Indian engineer who served as the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union from 1965 until his death in 1967. He had previously served as the first ITU Deputy Secretary-General, for five years from 1960.

Education
Sarwate was a Bachelor of Science in physics and mathematics from the Bombay University and completed a diploma in Electrical Technology from the Indian Institute of Science. He then moved to the United Kingdom and obtained a doctorate in radio engineering from the Liverpool University in 1938.

Career

Sarwate was engaged in research and development of aircraft radio and radar equipment for the Royal Aircraft Establishment in the United Kingdom from 1938 to 1941. He was commissioned into the Technical (Signals) branch of the Royal Indian Air Force on 19 December 1941. He continued his work on radar, rose to the rank of Squadron Leader, and was mentioned in dispatches in October 1945. He retired from service in October 1946.

He worked for the Civil Aviation Administration of the Government of India from 1946 to 1953, serving as director of communication responsible for the development of the aeronautical commercial services from 1948. In 1953, he was appointed as an adviser for Wireless Planning and Coordination in the Ministry of Transportation and Communication. In this position, he was responsible for national and international wireless planning and coordination. From 1953, he served as the Chairman of the Indian government's Radio and Cable Board.

He was a founding member of the Institution of Telecommunication Engineers of India, of which he was elected a Fellow in 1961. He was also a Member of the Aeronautical Society of India and of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London.

International Telecommunication Union

Sarwate was the Alternate Leader of the Indian delegation to the 1959 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Geneva and was elected as the first ITU Deputy Secretary-General, a post created by the consolidation of the two Assistant Secretaries-General. He was the first elected ITU Deputy Secretary-General instead of being appointed by the ITU's Administrative Council.

Sarwate was subsequently elected Secretary-General in 1965 by the Plenipotentiary Conference in Montreux. As Secretary-General, he had a strong interest in telecommunication development and visited developing countries to promote technical cooperation. He was also keen to see efficiency and economy in the work of ITU. He is said to have told a colleague: "So long as there are starving people in the world we cannot commit Members of the Union to expenses which are not absolutely essential."

He died in office in February 1967 during a critical surgery.

John B. Peddle. John Bailey Peddle (Terre Haute, Indiana, February 27, 1868 – idem, April 6, 1933) was an American mechanical engineer, Professor of Machine Design at the Rose Polytechnic Institute and author, known for his seminal work Construction of Graphical Charts, 1910.

Life and work 
Peddle was the son of Charles R. and Mary Elizabeth Ball Peddle. He graduated at the Rose Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1888, and after six years in business joint the faculty in 1894 as instructor in machine design. From 1897 until 1933 he was Professor of Machine Design back at the Rose Polytechnic Institute. 

In 1910 Peddle published the Construction of Graphical Charts, which was the first book in the English language treating of the art of graphical representation. The work was written from a mathematical point of view, and required some engineering training. In 1914 Willard C. Brinton published a similar work for the general audience with no mathematics, called Graphic Methods for Presenting Facts.

Peddle has been member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Indiana Academy of Science. 

Peddle was also an amateur photographer, who published some of his work and articles in The Photographic times magazine including a self-portrait.

Archimedes (rocket engine). Archimedes is a liquid-fuel rocket engine burning liquid oxygen and liquid methane in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. It is designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab for its Neutron rocket.

History 
Archimedes was presented on December 2, 2021, in a webcast by Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck as a fully reusable, gas generator engine using liquid oxygen (LOX) and methane as propellant, a departure from the company's previous Rutherford, which is electrically pump fed. He then stated that it had a thrust of  and 320 seconds of specific impulse. The same day, the Neutron page on Rocket Lab's website was updated specifying the thrust of the nine Archimedes engines used on the first stage as  at sea level and a maximum thrust of  and the upper stage's single vacuum optimized Archimedes at . It was expected to have its first hot-fire test during May 2024. In an interview published on the CNBC website, Beck stated that Archimedes would be manufactured in New Zealand and its very simple design had "all the things you want when you have to build an engine that can be reused over and over again."

In the September 21st, 2022 Investor Day Presentation, the engine design had changed to an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. The presentation stated that the sea level version would have a maximum thrust of  with a specific impulse of 329 seconds and would be able to throttle to 50% of maximum thrust.

Meanwhile, the vacuum optimized version would have a maximum thrust of , a specific impulse of 367 s and the same throttling capabilities of 50% of maximum thrust. It was also implied, but not confirmed, that the engine would be built in the Virginia, USA factory. It was disclosed they would use the Stennis Space Center A-3 Test stand for development testing. They expected to start preburner testing in that or the following quarter, hopefully starting full engine testing at Stennis before the end of 2023, and hoped to be able to launch by mid 2025.

Design 

Archimedes is presented as a highly reusable liquid-propellant engine using methane and liquid oxygen in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. There are both sea-level and vacuum variants. The engine is mostly 3D printed, with some of the biggest 3D printers in the world. The rationale for the cycle change from the original gas generator was that they could not get the performance they needed through all the throttle points that a reusable rocket needs, without pushing the turbine temperature and other factors beyond their preset limits. By changing to the higher performing cycle but with lower performance requirements, they were able to lower temperatures and other stress factors and increase margins everywhere, making reusability more attainable.

Willard Barrows. Willard Barrows ( – ) was an American civil engineer. 

Willard Barrows was born in  in Monson, Massachusetts.  His early youth was spent in New England, after which he became a teacher in Elizabeth, New Jersey, but this occupation he soon relinquished for the profession of civil engineering. He accomplished the government survey of the lands vacated by the removal of the Choctaw nation in Mississippi, finishing that work in 1835. Later he explored Cedar River, which at that time was scarcely known, and in 1837 was engaged on the first surveys of Iowa. In 1840 he surveyed the islands in Mississippi River between Rock Island and Quincy. During the suspension of the surveys he settled in Rockingham; but in 1843, when the surveys were resumed, he was sent into the Kickapoo country. From 1845 until 1850 he was engaged in government work and on county surveys in Iowa. During the latter year he made a journey to the Rocky Mountains, and afterward was connected with a banking firm in Davenport, Iowa. He published several accounts of his experiences, including Barrows's New Map of Iowa, with Notes (1854), and Historical Sketch of Scott County (1859). Willard Barrows died on January 3, 1868, in Davenport, Iowa.

Barrelfish (operating system). Barrelfish is an experimental computer operating system built by ETH Zurich with the assistance of Microsoft Research in Cambridge. It is an experimental operating system designed from the ground up for scalability for computers built with multi-core processors with the goal of reducing the compounding decrease in benefit as more CPUs are used in a computer by putting low-level hardware information in a database, thus removing the need for driver software.

The partners released the first snapshot of the OS on September 15, 2009 with a second being released in March, 2011. Excluding some third-party libraries, which are covered by various BSD-like open source licenses, Barrelfish is released under the MIT license. Snapshots are regularly released, the last one dating to March 23, 2020.

While originally being developed in collaboration with Microsoft Research, it was also partly supported by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Labs, Huawei, Cisco, Oracle, and VMware before it was discontinued.
