Mle 1951 AP blast mine. The Mle 1951 (Model 1951) or MI AP ID 51 is a small circular French brown plastic cased minimum metal mine anti-personnel blast mine. The mine uses a pressure fuze that works by driving a firing pin through a friction sensitive compound (a mixture of Red Phosphorus and glass). The mines safety is a small cap that sits over the pressure fuze and prevents it being pressed. The mine can be used with anti-handling devices.

The mine was in service with the French Army and was used in Algeria. It was superseded by the Mle 1955 mine (MI AP DV 59)

Roman Bridge (Trier). The Roman Bridge () is an ancient structure in  Trier, Germany, over the Moselle. It is the oldest standing bridge in the country, and the oldest Roman bridge north of the Alps. The nine bridge pillars date from the 2nd century AD, replacing two older, wooden bridges that date at least as far back as 17 BC. In Roman times, tossing a coin off of the bridge into the Moselle was an offering of good luck. The upper part was renewed twice, in the early 12th and in the early 18th century, after suffering destruction in war. Along with other Roman and Early Gothic sites in Trier, the bridge was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986 because of its historical importance and architecture.

Artificial neural membrane. Artificial neural membrane (ANM) refers to a new class of functional structure developed through research adaptive and evolutionary neural networks and programmable materials.  The greatest interest in ANM structures surround their potential as open architecture environments for the integration of microscale and nanoscale devices.

Originally based on the Neurogenesis Algorithms developed by mathematician and engineering physicist Dr. P. A. Menges.  While working as a postdoctoral research associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dr. Menges became interested in thin film materials used in specialized sensors also referred to as smart skins.  After leaving the laboratory she established a computational method allowing networks to automatically embed or simulate on other networks based in functional materials. 

Artificial neural membrane technology development has been funded by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts, for application to flapping wing flight.  Currently Aerospace Research Systems, Inc – the agency that pioneered work in developing artificial neurons for use in control of multifunctional smart structures – is applying the technology to reusable launch vehicles.  Other applications include biotechnology processes, morphing aircraft and spacecraft, adaptive wind generators, and artificial organs.  Recent research also indicates that ANM systems may provide the first truly automated intentional or conceptual programming environment.  The ANM technology has been referred as being as significant as semiconductors in the 1950s.

Apache Gump. Apache Gump is an open source continuous integration system, which aims to build and test all the open source Java projects, every night. Its aim is to make sure that all the projects are compatible, at both the API level and in terms of functionality matching specifications. It is hosted at gump.apache.org, and runs every night on the official Sun JVM.

History 
Gump was created by Sam Ruby, based on his experience in the Perl community. It was originally written in Java.

The current live version, Gump 3, has been completely rewritten in Python.

Usage
To join Gump, a project must provide two XML files. One describes how to access the live CVS or Subversion repository; the other what to build from the repository, and the artifacts produced. Each project can be dependent upon other projects; these dependencies are declared so that Gump knows the correct order to build things.

Gump can build shell script, Ant and Maven 1 projects, setting up the classpath appropriately. Ant and Maven 1 have special hooks built in them to give Gump complete control of the classpaths used to build and test the applications. This allows Gump to build the projects against the latest versions, even if the project's own build files have hard coded dependencies against static libraries in their own CVS or subversion repository.

If a build on Gump is successful, a report is placed on the site, and all projects that declare themselves dependencies are eligible to be built. If a project fails to build, error reports are published, an error email is sent, and all dependent projects are blocked from building.

Limitations 
 There is no way to force developers to act on the you broke the build email, other than informal peer pressure.
 Until Maven support is added, many Java projects cannot be built. All projects downstream of these can only build on gump with static versions of the previous releases, removing the possibility to build and test against nightly code, one of the key features of the project.
 It can be difficult to diagnose why something has failed, as developers on projects built by gump do not have access to the machine, only the nightly status reports.
 As it is an open service for all open source projects, the project has invested less effort in making it easy to bring up a new gump installation, which makes private use harder. In particular, there is no automated way to provision a gump server with the static JAR files that many projects depend upon.
 If a foundational project such as Ant, Xerces or JUnit fails to build, then most of Gump is blocked until a fix is made. Depending on the nature of the failure, this could be a quick procedure, or could take longer.

Prandtl–Meyer function. In aerodynamics, the Prandtl–Meyer function describes the angle through which a flow turns isentropically from sonic velocity (M=1) to a Mach (M) number greater than 1. The maximum angle through which a sonic (M = 1) flow can be turned around a convex corner is calculated for M = . For an ideal gas, it is expressed as follows,

 

where  is the Prandtl–Meyer function,  is the Mach number of the flow and  is the ratio of the specific heat capacities.

By convention, the constant of integration is selected such that 

As Mach number varies from 1 to ,  takes values from 0 to , where

 

where,  is the absolute value of the angle through which the flow turns,  is the flow Mach number and the suffixes "1" and "2" denote the initial and final conditions respectively.

Silent 700. The Silent 700, introduced in 1971, was a line of portable computer terminals manufactured by Texas Instruments in the 1970s and 1980s.  Silent 700s printed with a  dot-matrix heating element onto a roll of heat-sensitive paper.  Some models were equipped with an integrated acoustic coupler and modem that could receive data at 30 characters per second.  Other models could be directly connected to computers at 300 bits per second (bit/s), and were sometimes used as the system console where a hard copy record of the activities would be retained for a period of time.

Local capabilities
A pair of local tape cartridge devices were included in some models, and data could be edited, tape-to-tape, for later transmission.

Model 725
The Model 725 added the ability to switch-select bit rates of 110, 150 and 300, corresponding to 10, 15 or 30 characters per second.

Model 745
The Model 745 was introduced late 1975 as "the lightest-weight portable now available."

1200 bit/s
As 1200 bit/s dialup communication became more common among Time-sharing providers, the Silent 700 faced the problem that its printhead technology simply couldn't "heat up all the little dots" at 120 characters per second.  TI solved this in their 780-series terminals by creating a two-character-wide thermal head, which printed 60 pairs of characters per second.  This allowed the product line to survive a few more years in the new high-speed interactive computing environment of the mid-1980s.

O'Brien Cogeneration. O'Brien Cogeneration Inc. is an energy resources industrial company in the United States, which is involved with construction and operation of generation of electrical power from renewable energy technology.  In 2005, O'Brien Cogeneration received one of the highest civil damage awards in the US for that year.  In particular the Essex County Superior Court rendered a judgment award in the amount of $32,320,360 against Hawker Siddeley for a cause of negligent maintenance, resulting in extensive plant damage and business disruption.  The lead plaintiff attorney in this case was Michael J. Izzo Jr., of the firm of Cozen O'Connor, Cherry Hill, New Jersey. 

Significant quantities of air pollutants are emitted from each plant, although considerable resources are expended in applying Best Available Control Technology.  For example, in the city of Philadelphia, O'Brien Cogeneration operates two separate plants that emit a total of approximately 17,000 pounds per year of air pollutants, making O'Brien a medium size industrial emitter in that city; in Philadelphia a total of six discrete chemical air pollutants are recognised, and a total of twelve distinct stack sources are present.

While O'Brien Cogeneration began as an East Coast firm, in the late 1980s it expanded to California with planning of a new facility in Salinas, California.  This plant review included detailed sub-studies in air quality, noise pollution, risk assessment and wastewater reclamation to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.  The Earth Metrics study found, in particular, that requirements of the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District would be met by the proposed facility design.

O'Brien Cogenaration has been involved in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's program involving innovations in economic incentives to control environmental pollution.
