FloristWare. FloristWare is an order-taking and Point of Sale (POS)/Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for retail florists.

Systems of this type are intended to aid retail florists with all aspects of their business. Features designed to speed order-taking and help with accounting, performance reporting, marketing, etc. are standard in products of this nature.

History
FloristWare was developed over a four-year period starting in 2001. Development included ongoing focus groups with florists across North America. The intention was to have the people that would use the software play a pivotal role in shaping how it looked, worked and performed.

FloristWare was released to beta testers in September 2005 and went into wide release in January 2006. The current version of FloristWare is 4.0.716, which was released in January 2016. Version 5.0 is currently being tested for release in March 2016.

Other information
FloristWare is considered an "independent" POS system in that is independent of wire services such as FTD or Teleflora. These companies and others like them offer their own proprietary POS systems for florists. It also uses a "Question & Answer" interface. Each step asks the user one question, which in turn determines the next step until the desired task has been completed.

Industry Sponsorships
FloristWare works with non-profit associations serving the retail floral industry like SAF to sponsor educational content at their conventions and events. Because the focus of so much education in the floral industry is on design FloristWare tries, with some exceptions, to focus on the business side of the industry. The idea is that by helping florists enjoy greater success from a business standpoint they will have more opportunities to express themselves creatively.

Educational Version
A free version of the software is available to schools and training programs that offer courses and programs related to floral design and the retail flower business. Most programs focus on design and the goal of the educational version is to help schools provide students with additional skills that will make them more employable as they enter the workforce.

Beardmore Inflexible. The Beardmore Inflexible, also known as the Rohrbach Ro VI, was a three-engined all-metal prototype transport aircraft built by William Beardmore and Company at Dalmuir, Scotland.

Design and development

William Beardmore and Company had acquired a licence for the use of the Rohrbach principle for stressed-skin construction. Using these principles and drawings supplied by Rohrbach for the RoVI, the Beardmore company built a massive all-metal three-engined transport, the Beardmore Inflexible.

The aircraft was built in sections at Dalmuir between 1925 and 1927 which were shipped by sea to Felixstowe and from there delivered by road to the Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) at Martlesham Heath Airfield where it first flew on 5 March 1928. It appeared at the Hendon RAF Display later in the year. The aircraft was structurally advanced for its time and had good flying qualities. It was also a very large aircraft for the time, having a wingspan of  - around  greater than the Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber of World War II. However, with an all up weight of  it was underpowered and, with no interest forthcoming from the RAF for a production contract, the aircraft was dismantled at Martlesham Heath in 1930. It was then examined for the effects of corrosion on light-alloy stressed skin structures.

One of the aircraft's wheels survives, and is on exhibit in the Science Museum, London.

Komodo IDE. Komodo IDE is an integrated development environment (IDE) for dynamic programming languages. It was introduced in May 2000. Many of Komodo's features are derived from an embedded Python interpreter.

Komodo IDE uses the Mozilla and Scintilla code base, and supports many of the same features, languages and platforms, including the languages Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, SQL, Smarty, CSS, HTML and XML, and the operating systems Linux, OS X, and Windows. The editor component is implemented using the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI), with the Scintilla view embedded in the XML User Interface Language (XUL) interface in the same manner as a web browser plugin.

Komodo IDE has an open-source counterpart called Komodo Edit. Much of the code base is shared, although more advanced features are reserved for Komodo IDE such as debugging and unit testing.

Both Komodo Edit and IDE support user customizing via plug-ins and macros. Komodo plug-ins are based on Mozilla Add-ons and extensions can be searched for, downloaded, configured, installed and updated from within the application. Available extensions include a Document Object Model (DOM) inspector, pipe features, additional language support and user interface enhancements.

Komodo IDE has features such as integrated debugger support, DOM viewer, interactive shells, source code control integration, and the ability to select the engine used to run regular expressions, to ensure compatibility with the final deployment target. The commercial version also adds code browsing, a database explorer, collaboration, support for many popular source code control systems, and more. Independent implementations of some of these features, such as the database editor, git support, and remote FTP file access, are available in the free version via Komodo Edit's plugin system.

History
5.0: On 2008-11-03, ActiveState Software Inc. announced the release of Komodo IDE 5.0, which was built-on Mozilla 1.9 and Python 2.6.

With the creation of the subscription-based ActiveState platform in 2018, the Komodo IDE is now available only as part of an ActiveState Platform subscription.

Development of Komodo Edit and Komodo IDE was officially stopped in 2022, and the IDE was released as open source under the terms of Mozilla Public License.

Corel Designer. Corel DESIGNER is a vector-based graphics program. It was originally developed by Micrografx, which was bought by Corel in 2001.

The last version developed by Micrografx was 9.0 in 2001. This program was later sold as Corel DESIGNER 9. There are still a number of users who continue working with version 9.0, because newer versions of the product are based on a modified CorelDRAW rather than the original product. 

Corel DESIGNER is effective for the creation of engineering drawings, but also offers many functions for graphic design. Starting with version X5, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite includes Corel Designer, CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint. X6 was the last release for Windows XP.

TopoFusion. TopoFusion GPS Mapping software designed to plan and analyze trails using topographic maps and GPS tracks.

History

The software was created in 2002 by two brothers who were outdoor bikepacking enthusiasts and felt software could help them plan better trails.  They developed the first version of the software in 2002 and one included it as part of his doctorate dissertation on GPS Driven Trail Simulation and Network Production.  In 2004 the developers and one other jointly presented the paper Digital Trail Libraries which illustrated some of the graph theory algorithms used by the software.   the software remains supported with refined functionality and improved support for additional maps and GPS Devices.

Features
The software was designed to plan and analyze trails.  When used for planning proposed routes may be planned and checked against different maps, and the result(s) downloaded to a GPS tracking device.  Topofusion is particularly noted for eased of switch and combining maps and for capability of simultaneously managing multiple trails.  After a trail has been executed the resultant GPS log can be uploaded to TopoFusion and the actual route analyzed with the addition of any photographic images recorded on route.

The product is marketed as a fully featured 'professional version and a more basic version with reduced functionality at lower cost.  A fully featured trial version which is not time limited is available which restricts usability by watermarking map display tiles by overlaying the word 'DEMO'.  The software is available directly Microsoft Windows only, however TopoFusion has claimed users have reported success using VMWare Fusion and Parallels emulation on Mac OS.

Applications
TopoFusion has been found useful by those engaged in the sport of geocaching.

The software has been used in assisting analysis of GPS routes.  A survey reported in 2004 of GPS tracking of motorists visiting the Acadia National Park in Maine, United States was assisted by use of Topofusion to review the scenes visited.  It has also been used in studies of agriculture transportation logistics.

TopoFusion can also assist in determining where photographs have been taken on a trail and can geocoded photo the image or tag it onto a map.  For this to be successful the digital camera's time must be synchronized with the GPS unit time, and both the GPS track and digital images made available to Topofusion.  The time when the image was taken can then be matched to the time on the GPS log and this enables the image to be enhanced with geocode fields when Real-time geotagging was not available when the image was taken.  TopoFusion can also optionally annotate maps with images.

Electronics for Medicine. Electronics for Medicine, commonly known as "E for M," was a pioneering company in medical electronics. Founded in the 1950s by Martin Scheiner to make instrumentation for recording physiological signals from the heart, it was based in Westchester County, New York.
 
Its product line ultimately included instrumentation for all cardiac-related medical procedures, including electrocardiography, electrophysiology, echocardiography, and patient monitoring. Its DR and VR series physiological recorders were used in almost every cardiac catheterization laboratory from the 1950s well into the 1980s, and are widely mentioned in cardiology papers of that era (e.g.,). It was initially developed for André Cournand of Columbia University, who shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine with Dickinson W. Richards and Werner Forssmann for work exploring the interior of the heart.

In 1979, the company was sold to Honeywell, and its name was changed to E for M/Honeywell. Scheiner shared more than $1 million of the proceeds of the sale with employees, gifting them $50 for each month they worked for E for M.  It was later sold to PPG Industries, and disappeared a few years after that.

Multiplicity (statistical mechanics). In statistical mechanics, multiplicity (also called statistical weight) refers to the number of microstates corresponding to a particular macrostate of a thermodynamic system. Commonly denoted , it is related to the configuration entropy of an isolated system via Boltzmann's entropy formula

where  is the entropy and  is the Boltzmann constant.

Example: the two-state paramagnet 

A simplified model of the two-state paramagnet provides an example of the process of calculating the multiplicity of particular macrostate.  This model consists of a system of  microscopic dipoles  which may either be aligned or anti-aligned with an externally applied magnetic field .  Let  represent the number of dipoles that are aligned with the external field and  represent the number of anti-aligned dipoles.  The energy of a single aligned dipole is  while the energy of an anti-aligned dipole is  thus the overall energy of the system is

The goal is to determine the multiplicity as a function of ; from there, the entropy and other thermodynamic properties of the system can be determined.  However, it is useful as an intermediate step to calculate multiplicity as a function of  and  This approach shows that the number of available macrostates is . For example, in a very small system with  dipoles, there are three macrostates, corresponding to   Since the  and  macrostates require both dipoles to be either anti-aligned or aligned, respectively, the multiplicity of either of these states is 1.  However, in the  either dipole can be chosen for the aligned dipole, so the multiplicity is 2.  In the general case, the multiplicity of a state, or the number of microstates, with  aligned dipoles follows from combinatorics, resulting in

where the second step follows from the fact that 

Since  the energy  can be related to  and  as follows:

Thus the final expression for multiplicity as a function of internal energy is

This can be used to calculate entropy in accordance with Boltzmann's entropy formula; from there one can calculate other useful properties such as temperature and heat capacity.

British Rail Classes 341 and 342. Class 341 and Class 342 were proposed electric multiple unit classes from the Networker series, to be introduced in the late 1990s. The trains were planned to run on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and Crossrail projects. Both projects were halted in the early 1990s, following the early 1990s recession. With the subsequent privatisation of British Rail in 1994, neither train was ordered.

Class 341 
Class 341 was intended as the rolling stock for the Crossrail project, and would have entered service in the late 1990s. A mock-up unit demonstrating the design of the train (and moquette) was built in 1991. At one point, the Class 341 would form part of the Networker family of trains as 'Networker Crossrail'. The Crossrail project was rejected by Parliament in 1994, and the train was not ordered.

The specifications drawn up for the Class 341 were subsequently used as a base for laying down specifications for the new Class 345 units built to run on Crossrail. The Bombardier built Class 345 units were introduced in June 2017, with the Crossrail project opening as the Elizabeth line in May 2022.

Class 342
Class 342 was intended to operate domestic services on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) high speed line between London and the Kent coast. Plans for the high speed line were delayed in the early 1990s, and the trains never got beyond the proposal stage.

The CTRL (now High Speed 1) was subsequently built from 1998 onwards, and was completed in 2007. Domestic services began running in 2009, operated by Southeastern using Hitachi built Class 395 high speed trains.

Ring dyeing. Ring dyeing is a type of dyeing fault in which dyes are partially diffused to the interior of fibre. Most dyes are stained on to the fibre surface that form layer of dyes on to fibre surface. Thus around the fibre a ring-like appearance of the dye can be viewed cross-sectionally. This ring-like dye layer opposes further dye diffusion. This problem leads to poor wash fastness and rubbing fastness of dyed fabric, as well as other staining-related fastness properties.

The dye particles are not penetrated uniformly throughout the fibre structure due to several reasons like poor pre-treatment of yarn before dyeing, channeling of dye liquor circulation due to faulty loading of carriers with yarn wound packages, high density of packages (especially in cheese/cone dyeing) and many more.

Blackburn Segrave. The Blackburn B-1 Segrave was a 1930s British twin-engine four-seat touring aircraft built by Blackburn Aircraft.

History
The aircraft was designed by the racing driver (and world land speed record holder) Sir Henry Segrave as a twin-engine four-seat touring monoplane. A wooden prototype, designated Saro Segrave Meteor I was built by Saunders Roe at Cowes. The prototype (registered G-AAXP) first flew on 28 May 1930. Development was delayed by the death of the designer on 13 June 1930 in a speedboat accident. The aircraft was demonstrated in Rome to the Italian Air Ministry, and a licence agreement was signed to produce the aircraft as the Piaggio P.12, although only two appear to have been made. With lack of space at Cowes and with the decision to build a metal version, two aircraft were built by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough Aerodrome with the designation Blackburn CA.18 Segrave. Blackburn changed the designation system, and the aircraft became the Blackburn B.1 Segrave.

Despite sales tours around Europe, the aircraft was not ordered, and only one further example was built. This was completed by Blackburn as the Blackburn CA.20 Segrave II to test a new single-spar wing.

Aircraft
Segrave Meteor (registration G-AAXP)
After use as a demonstrator, it was in private use until withdrawn from use at Brough in 1932.
