Dash Robotics, Inc. Dash Robotics, Inc. is a toy robotics startup company located in Hayward, California. Their main focus is on prototyping and manufacturing smart toys (sometimes called "connected toys"). The company is often referred to simply as "Dash," and was founded in 2013. Often mistakenly affiliated with UC Berkeley, they are not a part of the university although many of the company's members met there.

Products 
They are most widely known for creating Kamigami Robots, a biomimetic, foldable robot that was funded via Kickstarter in 2015. Kamigami received attention for their unique biomimetic motion, which mimics that of a cockroach. The platform allows kids build their own robotic bugs. The original concepts behind the robot's motion are attributed to Dr. Robert Full, a biologist at UC Berkeley, and can be seen outlined in his Ted Talk. Mattel licensed the Kamigami brand in spring of 2017, and oversaw the national release in fall of 2017 as part of their new emphasis on STEM and "digital age" toys.

Previous products include Dash Beta and Dash VR. Dash Beta was a cardboard, app-controlled robot that required glue to be assembled, and acted as a predecessor to Kamigami. Dash Beta is no longer in production.

Herbert Axster. Herbert Axster (3 November 1899 – 25 May 1991) was a German lawyer connected with Operation Paperclip. Axster served as chief of staff in the German guided missiles program.

Wartime and Postwar Activities 
During World War II, Axster served as chief of staff to Walter Dornberger, commander of the Peenemünde Army Research Center. Here, Axster assisted with the development of Germany's V-2 rocket program. Following Nazi Germany's surrender, Axster was sent to the United States in November 1945. In January 1947, he began work for the U.S. Government at Fort Bliss, Texas.

OMGUS Investigation 
Following his recruitment into Operation Paperclip, Axster was investigated by the Office of Military Government, United States (OMGUS) as a possible threat to the United States. The 1948 OMGUS report on Axster included interviews with individuals who had been familiar with Axster during the war. The interviews appeared to describe a sadistic man, said to have used slave labor on his private estate. In addition, the report included mention of Axster's wife, who was an outspoken proponent of the Nazi Party. However, the report concluded by reversing OMGUS's initial position concerning Axster, stating that "[Axster] was not a war criminal and was not an ardent Nazi. The record of Herbert Axster as an individual is reasonably clear and as such,  it is believed that he constitutes no more of a security threat than do the other Germans who have come to the U.S. with clear records in entirety." Axster was allowed to continue his work for the U.S. government.

Combined storage tanks. A combined storage tank combines hot water storage both for heating support and drinking water heating in a larger tank. As a result, warm water, typically from solar thermal energy, is stored temporarily for both purposes for later consumption. Breaks in sunshine can thus be bridged without any additional heating, depending on the heating requirement and storage size. This generally takes up less space than two individual buffer tanks and thermal losses are thereby reduced. These storage tanks are mostly insulated on the outside and designed for the lowest possible heat losses. Usually, it is a tank-in-tank system, that is, a two-compartment system arranged one inside the other. It is thus a combined buffer storage tank with a heat exchange plate in between. Above is a smaller interior tank for drinking water, i.e. water for showers, washing etc. and around it on the outside is a much larger storage volume for heating water for room heating.

An alternative is the layer charge storage tank, where the warmest storage layer is located at the top of the tank and colder layers below. The advantage of this is that different temperatures cannot be mixed and warm water can be used for longer. The layer storage tank is considered the most modern type of storage in this field. For drinking water heating, a fresh water station is used in the throughflow principle with a heat exchanger, which reduces the risk of legionella formation and is therefore even more hygienic.

This leads to efficiency optimisation together with an intelligent loading and unloading control. Both are especially useful if combined with what is called a low-temperature heating system and good building insulation, which makes the energy more effective.

Christa Brosseau. Christa L. Brosseau is a Canadian chemist, currently a Canada Research Chair at Saint Mary's University (Halifax). Brosseau's research focus is on Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Early career and education 
Brosseau was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry from Dalhousie University and a MSc degree in 2003 under the supervision of Prof. Sharon Roscoe at Acadia University for studying the adsorption of proteins on metallic surfaces using electrochemical methods.

Graduate studies

In 2007, Brosseau completed a PhD at the University of Guelph under the supervision of Prof. Jacek Lipkowski on a project which involved using electrochemistry and infrared spectroscopy to probe the interaction of cholera toxin with a model biological membrane supported on an electrode surface.

Postdoctoral studies

In 2007, Brosseau received an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation postdoctoral fellowship to work at Northwestern University under the supervision of Prof. Richard P. Van Duyne, in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago. This project used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to analyze colorants in historical textiles and paintings.

Research 
In 2009, Brosseau joined the Chemistry department at Saint Mary's University as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2014. Brosseau was named the Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Chemistry and Materials in 2016.

The Brosseau research lab investigates the spectra observed when nanoparticles interact with light, to develop green molecular sensors. A green synthesis of silver nanoparticles improved their surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) was useful for analyzing non-heme protein adsorption at electrified interfaces. The loading of gold nanoparticles onto nitrocellulose membranes was enhanced using vertical flow, achieving greater and more consistent signal.

Brossard's early achievements include developing a rapid and precise analytical method for detecting uric acid in urine using EC-SERS for routine diagnosis of early eclampsia   and the rapid detection of melamine in milk using a portable and affordable EC-SERS system. The SERS of turmeric allowed its detection at very low concentrations in historic pastels from the painter Mary Cassatt.

Nixon entered the Regional Pitchfest competition again in 2017 with his new business idea, 'The Amazing Annoyatron'. The new educational kit was a fun and affordable solution to introduce kids and teens to electronics and coding. His polished business pitch saw him take out the first place and community choice awards at the NSW state finals in June 2017. He progressed to the National finals in Wagga Wagga, where he was awarded the top prize by a panel of expert judges, including the Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack.

Promotion of STEM education 
A strong advocate for the developing STEM Education movement, Nixon has been featured heavily in the media for his stance on the area. He has appeared on the TODAY Show, Talking Technology and the Alan Jones Breakfast Show. Nixon also inspired NSW high school students to pursue a career in coding at Wagga's Big Day In careers event in early 2018. He has also been seen as a speaker on numerous other occasions, including a STEM conference for primary school teachers and at a Rotary dinner.
