Louis-Georges Mulot. Louis-Georges Mulot (14 September 1792, Épinay-sur-Seine - 11 April 1872, Paris) was a French engineer and entrepreneur. He helped create numerous artesian wells in Paris and was the founder of the ; one of the first extensions of the Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin.

Biography 
His father was a locksmith; originally from Vaubexy. After inheriting his father's tools, he proved to be very skillful with his hands; mending shotguns and clocks as well as locks. He also invented a device to improve the process of grating potatoes into potato starch and repaired a steamboat that had been stranded on the Seine. 

In 1823, he was called to Enghien-les-Bains to repair the tools of workers who were digging an artesian well. He watched them at work and learned the process. Upon returning home, he created his own tools and dug his first well on the property of the Marquise de Grollier, an artist who specialized in flower painting. He then dug similar wells in Tours, Elbeuf and Saint-Gratien.

In 1834, at the suggestion of François Arago, a noted scientist who was serving as the Conseil Général of the Seine, and Louis-Étienne Héricart de Thury, an engineer, he undertook his first well drilling project in Paris, in the courtyard of the . After seven years, drilling to 548 meters (1,798 feet), he struck water. He went on to create more wells throughout France and Algeria. The one at Grenelle went dry only recently. 

While searching for drilling locations in Dourges and Hénin-Beaumont, he discovered the first indication that coal fields existed beyond Douai. This was initially kept secret. At the end of 1848, he and other interested parties applied for a concession. Rival claims from the  and the  delayed the process.

A decree in August of 1852 established a concession of 3,787 hectares (app. 9,358 acres) in the environs of Dourges, followed shortly by the creation of the Compagnie des mines de Dourges.

Capitalizing on this success, he began engineering large structures, with a cement drilling and pouring technique of his won devising. He also participated in the construction of some railways. He was named Knight in the Legion of Honor by King Louis-Philippe I and obtained a lifetime annuity of 3,000 Francs.

University of Engineering and Technology (Peru). The University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología is a private university in Lima in Peru. Its main buildings were designed by Irish architects Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, and won the "Silver Lion" at the 13th Venice Biennale.

History

It is a private university in Lima, Peru. Its campus is located in the district of Barranco.

The University of Engineering and Technology was founded on September 1, 2011, by the Peruvian engineer and businessman Eduardo Hochschild, leader of the Hochschild Group. 

The construction of the UTEC was carried out on the remains of the huaca "La Viñita", the last pre-Columbian archaeological vestige of Barranco, which was located at the intersection of the Quebrada de Armendáriz and the Vía Expresa, covering some 5000 m².

It opened in 2012 and its founders intended that it would be disruptive to Peru by supplying a new type of engineer.

The buildings were designed by Irish architects Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara of Grafton Architects. The building was considered the best new building in 2016 and it won the "Silver Lion" award at the 13th edition of the Venice Biennale. In 2020, Farrell and McNamara received the Pritzker Price, one of their selected works was the UTEC building.

First Peruvian licensed university 
UTEC was the first university in Peru to obtain a license from the National Superintendence of Higher University Education (SUNEDU), in 2016.

Rankings 
In 2020, UTEC ranked in first place per capita in scientific production in Peru measured by Scopus and Web of Science.

Pentaerythritol tetraacrylate. Pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA, sometimes PETTA, PETRA) is an organic compound. It is a tetrafunctional acrylate ester used as a monomer in the manufacture of polymers. As it is a polymerizable acrylate monomer, it is nearly always supplied with an added polymerisation inhibitor, such as MEHQ (monomethyl ether hydroquinone).

Uses
PETA is part of a family of acrylates used in epoxy resin chemistry and ultraviolet cure of coatings. Similar monomers used are 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and trimethylol propane triacrylate. It is a derivative of pentaerythritol
One of the key uses of the material is in polymeric synthesis where it can form micelles and block copolymers.  
The molecule's acrylate group functionality enables the molecule to do the Michael reaction with amines. It is therefore sometimes used in epoxy chemistry enabling a large reduction in cure time. As the molecule has 4 functional acrylate groups it confers high cross-link density. Ethoxylation maybe used to produce ethoxylated versions which find use in electron beam curing. The material also has pharmaceutical uses

Lisa M. Porter. Lisa Marie Spellman Porter is an American materials scientist who is a Professor of Materials Science at Carnegie Mellon University. She works on new ways to process and characterise electronic materials. She has previously served as president of the American Vacuum Society.

Early life and education 
Porter studied materials science at Cornell University. She earned her bachelor's degree in 1989, before moving to North Carolina State University for her graduate studies. She completed her doctorate on silicon carbide in 1993. After earning her doctorate, Porter joined North Carolina State University as a postdoctoral research associate.

Research and career 

Porter was appointed to the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University at 1997. Her early research considered the metal contacts for high-power electronic devices and oxide–silicon carbide interfaces. She has since investigated several materials, including transparent conducting films and electrodes as well as organic semiconductors. Her research focusses on the wide bandgap semiconductor gallium oxide. Small amounts of gallium oxide can withstand high electric fields and can be used for highly energy intensive processes. Porter has studied a variety of gallium oxide]polymorphs, including α, β and ε-Ga2O3. In particular, β-Ga2O3 bulk single crystals can be fabricated using low-cost melt-growth methods and can be produced in large wafers.

Porter created the spin-out company SenSevere, which creates chemical sensors based on semi-conductors. The sensors can be used to detect hydrogen in harsh environments, including nuclear reactors and chlorine production cells. When these cells are producing chlorine they produce considerable concentrations of hydrogen, and if this is not removed quickly from the system can result in the formation of hydrogen chloride. In nuclear reactors, hydrogen build up can cause explosions when hydrogen interacts with oxygen and water.

Electrosmart. Electrosmart is an Android application which measures the radio-frequency electromagnetic waves emitting from various sources like mobile phones (cellular networks i.e., 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G), WiFi access points, Bluetooth devices, etc. 
The app uses the antenna of mobile phones to calculate the pollution of waves and order them according to the power of that particular source. The app also provides recommendations to moderate the exposure. The data collected is administered in France and maintained by Inria Ethics Committee.

History 

Arnaud Legout, a research scientist in INRIA at French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation launched the Free EMF Detector, EMF Meter - ElectroSmart app on August 23, 2016 to the android users via Google Play. The app was developed by a research team DIANA (Design, Implementation and Analysis of Networking Architectures) led by Arnaud Legout in partnership with Electronics, Antennas and Telecommunications Laboratory (CNRS and Sophia Antipolis University). The team researched for 2 years before launching the final product into the market. According to IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and WHO (World Health Organization), the electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phones may be carcinogenic to humans.

Features

The app measures and records the data after every five seconds and execute in order to provide real time measurement on a scale of 0 to 100. The exposure index from 0 to 42 is considered to be 'Low' and an ideal exposure for electrosensitive people to sleep and take rest, index from 42 to 70 is considered to be 'Moderate' and denotes well connectivity to RF radiation emitting devices but not an over-exposure, and index from 70 to 100 is known to be 'High' and recommends action to be taken in order to moderate the exposure. It also captures the geolocation of the phone and its orientation in the space. The app keeps the data record of the exposure to which user was exposed during past days and provides an option to view summary in 'Statistics' section of the app. The app alerts its users in case of high exposure and provides them solutions to create insulation from electromagnetic sources.

User statistics

In first 6 months, app gained more than 2,000 downloads. 
By June 2018, app became more popular among the audience and received more than 64,000 downloads and 30,000 active users in addition to 850 million measurements. At present, app is downloaded more than 1,000,000 times in 150 countries and established a rating of 4.5 out of 5 on Google Play.

Wisk Cora. The Wisk Cora, also known as Generation 4 and Generation 5, is an American autonomous personal air vehicle prototype previously developed by the Kitty Hawk Corporation, and subsequently by Wisk Aero.

History 

The Kitty Hawk Corporation first presented the Cora publicly in March 2018. The company is named after the location near which the Wright brothers' first powered flight took place. The Cora is a two-seater development of the Zee Aero Z-P2. The individual approvals of the Cora by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were done under the name Zee Aero Mule SPA, then as Kitty Hawk Mule SPA. The development, testing and operation takes place in collaboration with the New Zealand subsidiary Zephyr Airworks, founded by Kitty Hawk in December 2016.

In June 2019 the Kitty Hawk Corporation and Boeing agreed to collaborate in the field of urban air mobility. For this purpose, a company called Wisk Aero LLC was founded on December 2, 2019. Zephyr Airworks became Wisk New Zealand. After approval by the government, a trial operation with the Cora took place in New Zealand in February 2020. With the termination of BoeingNeXT operations in mid-2020, some doubt existed on the continued relationship between Wisk and Boeing.

By 2021 Zephyr Airworks planned to set up an air taxi service in New Zealand. It is planned that the aircraft will only be used for the flight service planned in cooperation with Air New Zealand.

In January 2022, Wisk Aero announced a $450 million investment by Boeing, to further develop the Wisk Cora pilot-less flying taxis.

The Cora made its first public flight demonstration at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on July 25, 2023.

Design

The Cora has 12 electric motors for hovering at two fixed wings, each with 6 propellers (with near vertical axis), three in front of the wing and three behind. For horizontal flight there is a separately driven pressure propeller. An overall rescue system is provided for emergencies. The first flight was on March 13, 2018, in Mountain View, California.

Variants 

Generation 4
The first Cora variant and the fourth Wisk aircraft overall.
Generation 5
Improved version of the Generation 4 with redesigned tail booms and improved internal systems.
