Process control monitoring. In the application of integrated circuits, process control monitoring (PCM) is the procedure followed to obtain detailed information about the process used.

PCM is associated with designing and fabricating special structures that can monitor technology specific parameters such as Vth in CMOS and Vbe in bipolars. These structures are placed across the wafer at specific locations along with the chip produced so that a closer look into the process variation is possible.

Catnic. Catnic is a Wales-based building and construction products manufacturer which developed and patented a steel lintel.

History
Catnic was established in 1969 when Brian Robinson took his idea to entrepreneur Alfred Gooding. The company conceived, developed and pioneered the steel lintel designed for the house building industry, and soon won a major share of the UK market. The name 'Catnic' came from Brian's two children,  and .

In 1982, Catnic were involved in a landmark patent case, Catnic Components Ltd v Hill & Smith Ltd, which brought about a decision from the House of Lords

Today
Having been sold to Corus Group, Catnic have developed other steel-based building products, including Qwikpost.

The Catnic range is sold throughout the UK by a network of builder's merchants, DIY outlets and garden centres. The market in Germany is serviced by Catnic GmbH, and in the rest of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East by a network of independent distributors.

Sustainable product development. Sustainable product development (SPD) is a method for product development that incorporates t he Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), also known as The Natural Step (TNS). Incorporating sustainability aspects early on in the product development process has been claimed to offer competitive advantage.

Scope 
SPD includes both product development and product design. Design has two main goals: preventing waste and minimizing environmental impact. 

Environmental impact involves deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, resource/material management, etc. Resource acquisition (extraction and refining) tends to be the activity that most affects the environment. Use of renewable and recyclable materials can diminish pollution and waste. Conserving and avoiding resource use (e.g., water), and adopting renewable energy improve sustainability.

History 
SPD originates from the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the 1987 Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, and the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Improvement.

Caproni Vizzola Calif. The Caproni Vizzola Calif was a family of Italian sailplanes, the first example flew in 1969, with production continuing into the 1970s and 1980s. Of typical sailplane configuration with T-tails, they featured distinctive wings with centre sections of constant chord and trapezoidal outer panels. The forward fuselage was constructed of fibreglass over an alloy frame, while the rear fuselage, wings, and empennage were metal-covered.

The most significant member of the family, and the only one produced in quantity (around 150 by the early 1980s) was the A-21S, a two-seat version that accommodated the pilot and passenger side by side. At one time this aircraft concurrently held four world records for two-seat sailplanes, including:
 the women's closed-circuit speed record set by Adele Orsi and Franca Bellengeri in August 1974
 straight distance of 970.4 km by Ingo Renner and Hilmer Geissler in Australia in 1975

George Gibbs (mineralogist). George Gibbs (January 7, 1776 – August 6, 1833) was an American mineralogist and mineral collector.  The mineral gibbsite is named after him.

Early life
George Gibbs was born in Newport, Rhode Island, the son of wealthy merchant George Gibbs and Mary (née Channing) Gibbs.

Career
In 1796, Gibbs was sent by his father to study the mercantile business in Canton, China. During his travels, Gibbs studied in Europe and went to Lausanne and Paris.  In Paris, he studied mineralogy with Heinrich von Struve. Gibbs was fascinated by minerals and became friends with prominent leading European mineralogists: Francois Gillet de Laumont, Jean-François d'Aubuisson de Voisins, and Jacques Louis, Comte de Bournon.

He spent several years as a young man traveling abroad, and devoted much of his time and wealth to the collection of minerals. On his return to Rhode Island, he brought with him the most extensive and valuable collection ever seen in the United States up to that time. It consisted of the collection of Jean Gigot d'Orcy (1733–1793), containing 4,000 specimens, and that of Gregoire de Razumowsky, containing 6,000 specimens. These, with the results of his own gathering, formed a cabinet of more than 20,000 minerals. The collection was first exhibited in Newport.

In 1805, Gibbs' collection grew too large and he stored it in a house near his Newport mansion. The same year, the Governor of Rhode Island appointed Gibbs as "Aide de Camp" and given the title of Colonel.  In 1807, Gibbs became friends with Yale University Professor Benjamin Silliman and together they put an exhibit of Gibbs collection at Yale in 1811. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1813. In 1825, Gibbs sold his entire twenty-thousand specimen collection for $20,000 to Yale. The funds were raised through the influence of Silliman. Gibbs continued his interest in mineralogy, making extensive journeys and developing new mineral localities.

In 1822 he was elected vice-president of the New York Lyceum of Natural History, He published articles both in the American Mineralogical Journal and the American Journal of Science.

Gibbs may have been responsible for the first path to the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, predating the path created by Abel Crawford and his son, Ethan. This was probably commissioned by Gibbs in 1809 on the eastern slopes but is now lost.

Personal life

He married Laura Wolcott on December 27, 1810. She was the daughter of Oliver Wolcott Jr. and a student at Sarah Pierce's Litchfield Female Academy. They had four sons and three daughters including George, Oliver Wolcott (who became a notable professor of chemistry at Harvard University), and Alfred. Gibbs died on August 6, 1834, at Sunswick, Long Island.

Continuous cooling transformation. A continuous cooling transformation (CCT) phase diagram is often used when heat treating steel. These diagrams are used to represent which types of phase changes will occur in a material as it is cooled at different rates. These diagrams are often more useful than time-temperature-transformation diagrams because it is more convenient to cool materials at a certain rate (temperature-variable cooling), than to cool quickly and hold at a certain temperature (isothermal cooling).

Types of continuous cooling diagrams

There are two types of continuous cooling diagrams drawn for practical purposes.

 Type 1: This is the plot beginning with the transformation start point, cooling with a specific transformation fraction and ending with a transformation finish temperature for all products against transformation time for each cooling curve.
 Type 2: This is the plot beginning with the transformation start point, cooling with specific transformation fraction and ending with a transformation finish temperature for all products against cooling rate or bar diameter of the specimen for each type of cooling medium..

Perceptual robotics. Perceptual robotics is an interdisciplinary science linking Robotics and Neuroscience. It investigates biologically motivated robot control strategies, concentrating on perceptual rather than cognitive processes and thereby sides with J. J. Gibson's view against the Poverty of the stimulus theory.

As a working definition, the following quote from Chapter 64 by H. Bülthoff, C. Wallraven and M. Giese from The Springer Handbook of Robotics, edited by Bruno Siciliano and Oussama Khatib, published by Springer in 2007, could be used:
In the following we will apply the term Perceptual Robotics to signify the design of robots based on principles that are derived from human perception on all three levels in the sense of Marr. This includes a realization in terms of specific neural circuits as well as the transfer of more abstract biologically-inspired strategies for the solution of relevant computational problems.

ISBEM. iSBEM is a free of cost proprietary software interface to the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) which is designed for the purpose of indicating compliance with UK building regulations part L2a and L2b in England and section 6 in Scotland as regards carbon emissions from non domestic buildings. The latest version at time of writing is V 5.6.a  which is available as a download from the EPBD NCM website.

It has recently underwent additional programming to allow it to be used for producing EPCs for Non-Domestic Buildings.

Several commercial software tools exist, offering a more 'user-friendly' front-end to the SBEM calculation engine than iSBEM.
 
The SBEM calculation engine has some limitations and is explicitly distributed as a 'Not a Design Tool'. For more complex buildings, accredited Dynamic Simulation Modelling tools should be used for Part L compliance and EPCs.
