Maupin Windrose. The Maupin Windrose is an American high-wing, single-seat glider and motor glider that was designed by Jim Maupin for the Sailplane Homebuilders Association Design Contest.

Design and development
Maupin designed the Windrose as an easy-to-construct, safe, self-launching, low-cost and aesthetically pleasing aircraft project that could be flown as a pure glider or a powered glider.

The design has many innovative features and is of mixed construction using wood, foam and fiberglass. The wing is carved from solid foam and covered in fiberglass. There is no spar and instead the wing employs bands of unidirectional roving epoxied under the outer skin and joined by vertical dowels to take the compression loads from the underlying foam. The wing is of a  span or, optionally, a  span, and uses an Irv Culver custom airfoil. The ailerons are controlled from their inboard ends and there are no control runs inside the wings, which are solid.

The fuselage is built around a hollow plywood box structure that supports the wing, landing gear, cockpit and the optional Cuyuna 430  engine. The cockpit shell is made from fiberglass. A single triangular spoiler for glidepath control is mounted in the fuselage roof, above the wing center section. Both the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer are all-flying surfaces.

Operational history
At least 14 aircraft were completed in the USA. As of July 2011 five remain on the Federal Aviation Administration registry, including four gliders and one motorglider, which is owned by the designer. All are registered in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Variants
Windrose glider
Unpowered version with a  empty weight and a  gross weight, first flown in June 1983.
Windrose motor glider
Powered version with a  empty weight and a  gross weight, first flown in 1984. Take-off distance at sea level on a standard day is  and the initial rate of climb is 500 fpm (2.5 m/s).

Top cap. In vacuum tube technology, a top cap is a terminal at the top of the tube envelope that connects one of the electrodes, the other electrodes being connected via the tube socket.

Top caps have most commonly been used for:

 Amplifier or similar tube control grid connection, to provide greater circuit stability by isolating the low-signal circuit from the rest of the tube connections.
 Anode connection, to isolate the high-tension circuit, allowing higher voltages to be used.
 Physical convenience. Grid top caps on frequency converters could be connected directly to an adjacent coil; Anode top caps on output tubes could be connected by flying leads directly to an output transformer. Shorter leads generally mean greater stability.

A few amplifier tubes used two top caps, symmetrically placed, one for anode and the other for grid.

In audio amplifier tube application, the top cap was originally used for the grid connection, and a serviceman could apply a moist finger to the terminal to confirm that the stage and subsequent circuits were working by listening for the hum this produced in the loudspeaker. This practice led to some nasty accidents when anode top caps were first introduced to amplifier stages (they had been used on rectifiers for some time).

Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate. Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate ("tris") is a chemical once widely used as a flame retardant in plastics and textiles.

Safety and regulation
Tris is mutagenic and listed as an IARC Group 2A carcinogen.  It is one of the chemicals covered by the Rotterdam Convention.  In the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the sale of children's garments containing tris in 1977. This regulatory change came about as a result of the research of Bruce Ames and Arlene Blum.

LPW Glider. 

The LPW Glider (or Leeming-Prince-Wood Glider) was a 1920s British glider built by John Leeming, Tom Prince and Clement Wood who later formed the Lancashire Aero Club.

Development
In 1922 John Leeming designed a single-seat high-wing monoplane glider which he built from surplus Avro 504 components with the help of his friends Tom Prince and Avro workshop foreman Clement Wood. The glider flew on 24 May 1924 from Alexandra Park Aerodrome in Manchester being towed into the air by a car. In September 1924 while being flown by Leeming the glider stalled and crashed. The glider was rebuilt and had a motor-cycle engine fitted but it was not intended to fly, but for use as a ground trainer to allow students to practice taxiing.

RV Zeeleeuw. The RV Zeeleeuw was a marine research vessel owned, maintained, and operated by VLOOT dab.
The Flanders Marine Institute took care of the coordination of the scientific program and managed the research equipment.

Formerly a pilot vessel, the RV Zeeleeuw was, in 2000, rebuilt for research purposes.  It had numerous assignments, including a monthly voyage to environmental monitoring stations. The vessel was also used for studies involving the environmental impact of wind farms, monitoring of seabirds and sea mammals, research of the marine biodiversity, data collection of the impact of pollutants on the marine environment, etc.  The ship operated in Belgian maritime waters as well as French and Dutch coastal waters and the Western Scheldt.

After more than 10 years of service, there was a need for a modern, well equipped vessel, with a restricted draught needed for an optimal accessibility to shallow coastal waters of the Southern Bight of the North Sea and the surrounding estuaries. In 2012 the RV Zeeleeuw was replaced by the multidisciplinary coastal research vessel RV Simon Stevin.

On May 3, 2013, the RV Zeeleeuw was donated by the Flemish Government to the Republic of Kenya. The oceanographic research vessel is now named RV Mtafiti, Swahili for ‘researcher’. In Kenya the ship continues to serve marine research and is managed by the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI).

Limit analysis. Limit analysis is a structural analysis field which is dedicated to the development of efficient methods to directly determine estimates of the collapse load of a given structural model without resorting to iterative or incremental analysis.  For this purpose, the field of limit analysis is based on a set of theorems, referred to as limit theorems, which are a set of theorems based on the law of conservation of energy that state properties regarding stresses and strains, lower and upper-bound limits for the collapse load and the exact collapse load.

William Paul Gerhard. William Paul Gerhard (July 30, 1854 – July 8, 1927) was a German-American sanitary engineer.

Biography
William Paul Gerhard was born in Hamburg, then a free city, on July 30, 1854. He was educated in Alexandria, Egypt, and later on in a gymnasium in Kiel, Germany. He graduated as a civil engineer from the Technical University of Karlsruhe, Baden, in 1875, and served as a volunteer in the Prussian Railroad Regiment, 1875–76, Berlin.

He came to the United States in September 1877. He worked under Colonel Henry Flad and under Captain James B. Eads in Saint Louis, 1877–80. He assisted the latter in the preparation of the plates for the History of the St. Louis Bridge. He became chief assistant engineer to Col. George E. Waring, Jr. at Newport, Rhode Island, 1881–83.

Gerhard then moved to New York City, where for two years he was chief engineer of the Durham House-Drainage Company, and afterward he had a practise as a civil engineer, devoting himself particularly to the sanitation of buildings and towns.  Gerhard was editor of Building, an architectural journal, 1885–86, and served as consulting sanitary engineer on staff of New York State architects. He was United States delegate to First International Conference on Public Baths at The Hague, 1910. He was member of technical societies in the United States and Germany, and received an honorary degree of doctor of civil engineering from Technical University of Darmstadt in 1911.

He died at his home in Scarsdale, New York on July 8, 1927.

Works
Gerhard was author of numerous American works on sanitation, house drainage, water supply, fire protection and gas lighting. He also published three German works.  Among his larger works are:

SAS Motors. SAS Motors Limited (Angad) is a public limited company incorporated from April 2003 with the mission of making low-cost agricultural machinery available to Indian farmers. Its flagship product is Angad 240 D tractor. The company is engaged in sourcing, assembling, manufacturing, and marketing of Angad.  SAS Motors also provides a range of agricultural equipment

Launched in November 2004, Angad has been well accepted by the farmers. More than 5000 Angad tractors are running in the Indian soil right now. A survey shows that 90% of the buyers of Angad tractors are first time owners of the tractor; this is in contrast with the tractor industry scenario where about 50% of the sales come from the replacement market.

Manufacturing strategy

SAS Motors Limited follows a model of sourcing standardised mass-produced components available at an economic price and adding a few selected customised components to enhance the efficiency of the tractor and make it suitable for the specific applications in the Indian condition.  The cost of transportation of tractor from the factory to the farmers’ hand can increase the price of a low-cost tractor significantly.  Hence, SAS Motors Limited has adopted the unique model of regional assembly set up and the markets in a region are catered to from the assembly plant closest to that region to keep the transportation cost low.

Products
SAS Motors Limited is currently manufacturing the following products:
 Tractors
Angad 240D, 22 hp Tractor
Angad 350D, 35 hp Tractor
 Power Tillers
Angad 150PT Power Tiller
 Rotovators
 Diesel Engines

Actuate UK. Actuate UK is an alliance of eight specialist engineering membership associations in the United Kingdom. It was formally launched in February 2021, in some respects superseding, but expanding on the activities of, the Specialist Engineering Contractors' Group which operated between 1993 and January 2021.

History
The SEC Group represented seven organisations which collectively comprised over 60,000 companies, with a total workforce of over 300,000 individuals. It was particularly active in the areas of achieving: more cost effective procurement; fair and prompt payment and protection of cash retentions; supporting excellence and innovation; and the early involvement of specialist contractors in construction projects to ensure more effective delivery. In Scotland the SEC Group operated separately as "SEC Group Scotland".

After leading the SEC Group for more than 30 years, chief executive Rudi Klein retired in January 2021, and the SEC Group closed in early 2021.  

Actuate UK, the new engineering services sector alliance, has a wider focus, including commercial issues, sustainability (notably low to no carbon solutions), skills and building safety. It was launched on 10 February 2021.
