Description
The rigid hull watercraft in this class are 9.8 meters long with a displacement of 7 tonnes. The beam of each craft is 3.1 m and the draught is 0.6 m. The hull of crafts is made of fibre reinforced plastic. These boats are powered by twin mercury on-board motors of 250 hp each. This gives a speed of 37 knots which is comfortably in excess of the contractual requirement of 32 knots. The crafts have a partially enclosed cabin with ballistic protection of MIJ111 standards. The fuel carry capacity of the craft is 600 litres. There is also a gunmount for a light machine gun.

EmbeddedXEN. EmbeddedXEN is a Type-1 (bare metal) hypervisor based on the open source XEN hypervisor from Citrix.

EmbeddedXEN results from several Years of Research in the field of ARM-based CPUs and hypervisor technology based on XEN. The overall architecture has been revisited in order to support the hardware diversity of ARM CPUs platforms and provide an excellent framework to deal with a native OS and a third-party OS cross-compiled from a different ARM CPU. EmbeddedXEN provide a virtualized hardware interface to the third-party OS. EmbeddedXEN has been initiated and is under current development at the Reconfigurable Embedded Digital Systems (REDS) Institute of HEIG-VD, Switzerland.

EmbeddedXEN has been released as an open source project on SourceForge.

From March 2020, a novel framework called SOO (Smart Object Oriented) has been released on Gitlab. It followed the evolution with deep changes from EmbeddedXEN (also called Embx) from many Years. EmbeddedXEN is considered as development basis at the origin of SOO.

Fracking hose. Fracking hoses are used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking). Hydraulic fracturing uses between  of water per well, with large projects using up to . Additional water is used when wells are refractured; this may be done several times.

Hose materials
The traditional solution is to use metal pipes to transfer water but these are costly to deliver and assemble. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) covered hoses and Nitrile rubber (NBR) covered hoses have a lot of advantages compared to metal pipes. It is easy to deliver, assemble and disassemble hoses and long sections of NBR- and TPU-covered hoses reduce the possibility of leakage in connecting parts. These large-diameter NBR- and TPU-covered hoses are called fracking hoses.

Hose selection
Fracking hoses are high-pressure, high-strength lay-flat hoses designed for pumping aggressive water around mine sites. Safety and efficiency are important factors when choosing products for these applications.

History 
Fracking hoses are solutions derived from the fire hose industries. The fire hose manufacturers manufacture NBR or TPU covered hoses for fire fighting, water discharge, irrigation etc. The fracking industries borrowed the idea from the fire hose industries and use these hoses in fracking.

Hearn and Rawlins Mill. Hearn and Rawlins Mill, also known as the Cannon and Ross Mill and Hearn Mill, is a historic grist mill complex located near Seaford, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built about 1880, on the site of a previous mill built in 1820.  It is a water-powered mill with two overshot wheels installed in 1912.  The mill and two associated warehouses are frame buildings, sheathed in metal, on brick footings.  They are located on an earthen dam, rebuilt in 1912.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

General Electric LM1500. The General Electric LM1500 is an industrial and marine gas turbine produced by GE Aviation. The LM1500 is a derivative of the General Electric J79 aircraft engine series.

The LM1500 delivers up to .

History
The LM1500 was derived from the J79 engine in 1960. Its first application was for the first US sea-going research hydrofoil, . Conversion as a marinised turboshaft engine involved two major changes: the addition of a free power turbine, and corrosion-protection by the addition of internal coatings and a maintenance scheme of freshwater rinsing to prevent salt damage. Naval fuels could also include diesel fuels with higher sulphur content than aviation-grade JP-5 fuel, but this was avoided in these early engines by keeping to JP fuels.

Its first commercial use was as a catapult for launching aircraft. Over time, its commercial applications widened to include marine propulsion and its use at oil and gas pipeline compressor stations.

SEVENDIP. SEVENDIP, which stands for Search for Extraterrestrial Visible Emissions from Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations, was a project developed by the Berkeley SETI Research Center  at the University of California, Berkeley that used visible wavelengths to search for extraterrestrial life's intelligent signals from outer space.

Between 1997 and 2007, SEVENDIP employed a 30-inch automated telescope located in Lafayette, California, to scan the sky for potential optical interstellar communications in the nanosecond time-scale laser pulses. Another instrument was mounted on Berkeley's 0.8-meter automated telescope at Leuschner Observatory. Their sensors have a rise time of 0.7 ns and are sensitive to 300 - 700 nm wavelengths.

The target list included mostly nearby F, G, K and M stars, plus a few globular clusters and galaxies.  The Leuschner pulse search examined several thousand stars, each for approximately one minute or more.

DaVinci (software). DaVinci was a development tool produced by Incross, which aimed at creating HTML5 mobile applications and media content. It included a jQuery framework and a JavaScript library that enabled developers and designers to craft web applications designed for mobile devices with a user experience similar to native applications. Business applications, games, rich media content, such as HTML5 multi-media magazines, advertisements, and animation, may be produced with the tool. DaVinci was based on standard web technology – including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.

Features
DaVinci comprised DaVinci Studio and DaVinci Animator, which handled application programming and UI design. The tool had a WYSIWYG authoring environment.

Open-source libraries, such as KnockOut, JsRender/JsViews, Impress.js, and turn.js, were included in the tool. Other open-source frameworks could also be integrated.

The Model View Controller (MVC) and Data Binding in JavaScript could be handled through DaVinci's Data-Set Editor. In this mode, view components and model data could be visually bound, which allowed users to create web applications with server-integrated UI components without coding.

Additionally, DaVinci included an N-Screen editor, which automatically adjusted designs and functionalities to fit the screen sizes of various devices, including smartphones, tablet PCs, and TVs.

DaVinci and jQuery
In collaboration with the jQuery Foundation, DaVinci played a significant role in hosting the first jQuery conference in an Asian district, which took place on November 12, 2012, in Seoul, South Korea. The conference showcased how DaVinci could be utilized in application development demonstrations.
