ADMAR. ADMAR, an initialism for the German title Abgesetzte Darstellung von MADAP Radar data, was the predecessor product of CIMACT.

Definition 
The EUROCONTROL software product ADMAR did combine and merge several  civilian surveillance- and military sensor data sources with Flight plan data sources. After data correlation it was able to provide a Recognised Air Picture (RAP). It could be operated on COTS hardware or special IT.

History 
ADMAR was developed on the basis of ADKAR and GAME footing on the special Agreement of MOD Germany (  – A/13/D/HG/82, April 18, 1983) in cooperation with EUROCONTROL. It has been operational since 1983 and was used by the German Air Force exclusively. Since 2003 it became of interest for other European countries, NATO and security related authorities and organisations as well. ADMAR 2000 was the final software release.

AirMed. Air Medical Ltd, or AirMed was a fixed-wing UK based air ambulance specialist and commercial aircraft operator based in Hangar 8 at London Oxford Airport.

History 

AirMed was a family-own limited company, set up in 1985 by Rod Paris. The company originally carried out a wide variety of air charter including passenger, freight and air ambulance as well as organ transplantation work and aerial photography. In the earlier years the number of flights completed each year was anywhere between 500 and 1,000, however the split of work was approximately 50% air ambulance and 50% passenger/freight.

The company was bought out in 2003 by the Topliss and Dent families. Since then over $12 million was invested in new aircraft, medical equipment and personnel. During this time the aircraft fleet changed and the capabilities of the company increased considerably. AirMed specialised almost entirely in air ambulance and MEDEVAC work and a large part of its revenues was generated by patient transfers. AirMed operated across the globe and covered medical specialties like neonatal, obstetrics and paediatric.
They were awarded EURAMI Special Care Accreditation in November 2010 and were fully registered with the Care Quality Commission in England.

AirMed Engineering first gained approval in 2002, and became EASA Part 145 Part M approved. It was also a Cessna Authorised Service Facility and Parts Supplier. AirMed Engineering became a maintenance organisation specialising in Cessna Caravan C208 as well as Piper, Lycoming, Honeywell and Pratt & Whitney.
 
On 1 February 2016, AirMed went into administration, with the aircraft sold to new owners, principally in Germany.

Aircraft fleet 

AirMed operated a fleet of four aircraft:

 2 Bombardier Learjet 35A
 2 Piper Cheyenne IIIA

Affiliations 

AirMed held 'Special Care' accreditation from the European Aero-Medical Institute.
AirMed were registered with England's Care Quality Commission (CQC) as a private ambulance provider.
The medical team that worked on board the aircraft included clinicians at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust specialising in anaesthetics, neonatology, paediatrics, cardiology and intensive care.

West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Company. Post the Electricity Act 2003, The GoWB divided the erstwhile West Bengal State Electricity Board (WBSEB) into two functionally independent state-owned companies, West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (WBSETCL) and West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL), with effect from 1 April 2007.
WBSETCL is responsible for transmitting electricity from generating sources to load centers through a transmission network operating at 400kV, 220kV, 132kV and 66kV spread across West Bengal.
WBSETCL is currently playing three distinct functional roles envisaged under the Electricity Act 2003
   • The State Transmission Utility (STU) provider
   • A Transmission Licensee (TL)
   • The State Load Dispatch Center (SLDC).

Network Growth
Company's transformation capacity stood at about 16,350 MVA as of March 2010. Capacity at the 220 kV  and 132 kV levels constituted a roughly similar share of 40 percent of the total. WBSETCL recorded the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5% in transformer capacity during 2006-07 to 2009-10 among all state utilities.

At the end of 2009-10, its transmission line length stood at over 11,450 ckt. km, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2005-06. About 60% of its line network is at the 132 kV level. Across all voltage levels, its 400 kV network(constituting 14% of its network) has grown the fastest in the past five years, with a CAGR of about 20 percent.

Future Plans
WBSETCL plans to add over 2,000MVA to its transformer capacity and 900 ckt. km to its transmission line network in the current fiscal year (2010–11). A capex of over Rs 8 billion has been outlined in 2010-11 on various capacity augmentation projects.
About 10 new substations would be commissioned by WBSETCL in the current fiscal(2010–11), which would add 2,180 MVA to its existing transformer capacity. These include a 400 kV substation at Kharagpur, two 220 kV substations at Singur and Dalkhola, and five 132 kV substations at Chalsa, Kurseong, Khatra, Mohispota and Salt lake (this will be GIS substation).

Besides the commissioning of new sub-stations, capacity augmentation would be undertaken at 12 existing substations, of which five are at the 220 kV level. Over 912ckt. km of transmission line would also be added in the current fiscal through 19 ongoing transmission line projects. The estimated cost of these transmission line is Rs. 4.63 billion.

In order to reduce transmission losses further, the installation of 33 kV capacitors at EHV substations and installation of EHV substations near the load centers are some of the important strategies being deployed by WBSETCL.

Electric trike. An electric trike is a three-wheeled vehicle powered by an electric motor.

Overview

Definition

While the normal legal definition of motorcycle is a two-wheeled vehicle, in the USA a motorcycle may also be three-wheeled. This classification does not depend on whether the operator is fully enclosed by a "cage" or exposed to the elements.

Configurations

Three-wheeled vehicles with one front wheel and two rear wheels are known as a delta design or the traditional trike (tricycle) design, while vehicles with two front wheels and one rear wheel are known as a tadpole design.

Electric assisted velomobiles

Some three-wheeled electric vehicles, such as the Twike and the Myers Motors NmG, enclose the rider in a cabin or cockpit.

Peterson J-4 Javelin. The Peterson J-4 Javelin is an American, single seat, mid-wing glider that was designed by Max A. Peterson in the late 1960s and produced by the Peterson Sailplane Corporation in small numbers. The glider was type certified and put into production in 1973.

Design and development
Peterson designed the J-4 based on lessons he learned with his earlier Peterson Medena design. The J-4 is a single seater, but can carry a child in the small seating area behind the pilot.

The J-4's fuselage is made from steel tube with the lower part covered in a fiberglass shell and the upper part sheet aluminium. The wing is built around a chem-milled tubular spar and is assembled predominantly with pop rivets. The wing has no ailerons and instead roll control is via upper surface spoilerons that eliminate virtually all adverse yaw. Spoilers are also provided for glide-path control. The landing gear is a monowheel.

First flown in 1969, the J-4 was Federal Aviation Administration type certified on 6 February 1973. A pilot production run of eight examples was completed, but production was not continued. Poly Industries of Ontario, California produced aircraft under licensing agreement from Peterson Sailplane Corporation, who held the type certificate.

Operational history
In 1983, six of the original eight built were reportedly still flying and there were still six registered in April 2011.
