Serverware Group. Serverware Group plc was a software company formed in November 1983 following a management buyout of Information Systems Group plc.

Early history
The company was formed by Peter Seldon (father of journalist Myma Seldon) and Selim Kohen to develop systems management software.  Initially the software focus was on Unix and Pick software, but in the mid-1990s the company moved into Windows NT software development.  While the core business was software development, the company also resold products developed by other manufacturers (such as Diskeeper, FAXmaker, Octopus, Quota Manager and Remotely Possible) to help with the funding of their own software.

SeNTry
The first NT product to be developed by the company was SeNTry.  This allowed administrators to monitor the Event Logs of multiple Windows NT computers from a central location.  The list of product features grew as development continued until, in June 1998 the intellectual property rights were bought by Mission Critical Software, Inc., who renamed the product Enterprise Event Manager.  They later merged with NetIQ,. No code from SeNTry was part of the Mission Critical-developed product Operations Manager which was later licensed to Microsoft.

Enterprise Configuration Manager
Following the successful sale of SeNTry, Serverware began development of a new management tool.  Originally named eNTts (or enhanced NT tool set) the product allowed administrators to manage and control Windows NT services, DLLs and user passwords on remote Windows NT computers.  Later versions increased the feature count by adding registry monitoring, Emergency Repair Disk creation and more.

In 1999 the rights to the product (by this time named Enterprise Configuration Manager or ECM) was sold to a company named Configuresoft, Inc., which was founded for this purpose.  Serverware took a stake in the new start-up as part of the deal.

Serverware after Selim Kohen
In 2000 Technical Director Selim Kohen died, aged 50.  As he had been the driving force behind the development of new products the company scaled back their development work, and continued operating primarily as a reseller, and the UK distributor for ECM and Aftama IETP technology. 

In 2008 Serverware group formed a subsidiary of the main company that specialised in the needs of Government in the UK and Europe they appointed a new CEO to run this operation and develop the core offerings of Serverware Group going forward.

The company was dissolved on 27 April 2017.

Durene. Durene, or 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene, is an organic compound with the formula C6H2(CH3)4. It is a colourless solid with a sweet odor.  The compound is classified as an alkylbenzene. It is one of three isomers of  tetramethylbenzene, the other two being prehnitene (1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene) and isodurene (1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene).  Durene has an unusually high melting point (79.2 °C), reflecting its high molecular symmetry.

Production
It is a component of coal tar and was first prepared from pseudocumene in 1870. It is produced by methylation of other methylated benzene compounds such as p-xylene and pseudocumene.
C6H4(CH3)2 + 2 CH3Cl → C6H2(CH3)4 + 2 HCl
In industry, a mixture of xylenes and trimethylbenzenes is alkylated with methanol.  Durene can be separated from its isomers by selective crystallization, exploiting its high melting point. The original synthesis of durene involved a similar reaction starting from toluene.

Durene is a significant byproduct of the production of gasoline from methanol via the "MTG (Methanol to Gasoline) process".

Reactions and uses
It is a relatively easily oxidized benzene derivative, with E1/2 of 2.03 V vs NHE. Its nucleophilicity is comparable to that of phenol. It is readily halogenated on the ring for example.  Nitration gives the dinitro derivative, a precursor to duroquinone. In industry, it is the precursor to pyromellitic dianhydride, which is used for manufacturing curing agents, adhesives, coating materials. It is used in the manufacture of some raw materials for engineering plastics (polyimides) and cross-linking agent for alkyd resins. It is also a suitable starting material for the synthesis of hexamethylbenzene.

With a simple proton NMR spectrum comprising two signals due to the 2 aromatic hydrogens (2H) and four methyl groups (12H), durene is used as an internal standard.

Safety
Durene is not a skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer or eye irritant. Durene is only slightly toxic on an acute toxicologic basis and only poses an acute health hazard when ingested in excessive quantities.

Sidchrome. Sidchrome is an Australian brand of mechanics' tools. It is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker.

History
The brand emerged when Royston Siddons' Siddons Drop Forgings turned to tool making to fill post war shortages after World War II. Original production of Sidchrome tools was in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia.

Sidchrome was acquired by Stanley Tools in 1991. Sidchrome closed the Australian factory and ended all local manufacturing. In 1996 Stanley Black & Decker started to move all tool manufacturing to Taiwan, whilst sourcing various items from Proto in the USA (marked as Proto on items) due to supply of left-over Australian-made tools being sold out until all manufacturing was fully established in Taiwan.

Racing 
Sidchrome sponsored several Australian and New Zealand racing drivers in the 1970s, notably New Zealand and Australian saloon champion Jim Richards.

Present 
Sidchrome is still a top selling automotive tool brand in Australia and New Zealand and since 2007, the brand sponsors the Most Improved Award in Australia's Supercars Championship.

Bolection. A bolection is a decorative moulding which projects beyond the face of a  panel or frame in raised panel walls, doors, and fireplaces. It is commonly used when the meeting surfaces are at different levels, especially to hold floating panels in place while allowing them to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.

Also sometimes called balection or bilection, the term is of uncertain etymology and was first used in the early 18th century. Bolection was used to great effect by Christopher Wren.

Bolection mouldings are usually rabbeted on their underside to the depth of the lower element, but attached to the upper (when panels are allowed to float) or both (when merely decorative).

Bolection mouldings were also regularly used in the 16th and 17th century for picture frames.  On frames of this type, the highest point of the moulding is close to the sight edge (the inner edge of the frame which meets the picture), from which the profile descends towards its lowest point at its outer edge.  Such frames are sometimes described as bolection frames but more often as "reverse profile" frames.

Edward S. Renwick. For the Louisiana political commentator, see Ed Renwick.

Edward Sabine Renwick (1823–1912) was an American mechanical engineer, inventor and patent expert.

Early life
Renwick lost most of his eyesight while working as a patent examiner. He worked for a time in Wilkes-Barre as an ironmaster, but failed.

Family connections
His father, James Renwick, Sr., was a Professor of chemistry and physics at Columbia University. His mother, Margaret, was a member of the Brevoort family of New York.
One brother, James Renwick Jr., was a leading US architect, designer of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grace Church, Vassar College, the Smithsonian Institution and the Croton Aqueduct. The other, Henry, was a former steamboat inspector and co-author with his father. His grandmother Jean Jeffrey/Jeannie Jaffray of Lochmaben was the Blue-Eyed Lassie mentioned in Robert Burns' poem I gaed a waefu' gate yestreen. Charles Wilkes was an uncle of his.

Edward Renwick married Elizabeth Anne Brevoort in 1862.

Inventions
Renwick formulated at least 25 inventions over his lifetime, including a combination chicken brooder and incubator, and a self-binding reaping machine. He sued Cyrus McCormick over royalties, but was awarded none.

His patent dates stretch from 1850 (age 27) to 1904 (age 81).

Great Eastern
One of his greatest achievements was the designing and supervising, with his brother Henry, of a repairing of a break in the bilge of the Great Eastern steamship with a floating caisson, clamped to the hull. It was  long by  wide and  deep.

Later life
He later settled in Millburn, New Jersey in 1867. He built a large Victorian mansion at 140 Old Short Hills Road which stood until 2001. He died there in 1912 at the age of 89.

Qu Bochuan. Qu Bochuan (; November 16, 1909 – February 18, 1997), was a scholar and educator in China, and principal founder of the Dalian University of Technology.

Biography

Qu was born in Luzhou, Sichuan, China. In 1928, he went to Nanjing University for his bachelor's degree of chemistry. In 1934, he went to Germany and later got his doctoral degree from the Dresden University of Technology, majoring in Chemical Engineering. Then he came back to China in 1938, exploring a way to improve the Chinese technical and educational development. Introduced by Zhou Enlai, he went to Yan'an. Later the same year, he participated in the foundation of the Yan’an Institute of Natural Science, directly reported to Mao Zedong on this project, and held the position of the academic dean of the institute. From 1938 to 1948, he served as a variety of technical development positions assigned by the central government, e.g., the director of the experimental institute of the Shanxi-Chaha’er-Hebei Military Area.

Then he was sent to the city of Dalian to initiate the first tertiary technical school under the Communist Party. He then served as the first president of Dalian University of Technology from September 1948 to September 1981, though interrupted by the Cultural Revolution in between.

In 1980, based on the cooperation agreement between the US and Chinese governments, together with Jordan J. Baruch, and many others, founded the first MBA program in China in the Dalian University of Technology.

He took up the position of honorary president of the Dalian University of technology in 1981 and obtained the award for the 'Highlighted Seniors' from the State Educational Commission the same year. Later he was elected the committee member of the Sixth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

In 1997, A new library of the university was built and was named after him as the principal founder and the first President.

In 2006, he was awarded the "Special Contribution" award for his efforts in facilitating Chinese MBA education. There are only two people who got this award, he and Dr. Jordan J. Baruch.

TSX-32. TSX-32 has been a general purpose 32-bit multi-user multitasking operating system for x86 architecture platform, with a command line user interface. It is compatible with some 16-bit DOS applications and supports file systems FAT16 and FAT32. It was developed by S&H Computer Systems, and has been available since 1989.

DEC-oriented columnist Kevin G. Barkes noted that TSX-32 is "not a port of the PDP-11 TSX-Plus" and that it runs
well on 386, 486 and Pentium-based systems. He reported a limitation: since it supports the MS-DOS FAT file system, filenames are 8.3.

TSX-Plus
An earlier non-DEC operating system, also from S&H, was named TSX-Plus. Released in 1980, TSX-Plus was the successor to TSX, released in 1976.

The strength of TSX-Plus is to simultaneously provide to multiple users the services of DEC's single-user RT-11. Depending on which PDP-11 model and the amount of memory, the system could support a minimum of 12 users (14-18 users on a 2 MB 11/73, depending on workload). A productivity feature called "virtual lines" "allows a single user to control several tasks from a single terminal."

History
S&H wrote the original TSX because "Spending $25K on a computer that could only support one user bugged" (founder Harry Sanders); the outcome was the initial four-user TSX in 1976.

For TSX-32, they said in an interview, "We started with a clean sheet of paper" rather than starting with a "port."

As of 2021, it appears to be defunct.

VAX
The company's product line was ported/expanded for the VAX line.

P. R. Mallory and Co Inc. P. R. Mallory and Co Inc was a US producer of dry cell batteries (Mercury; alkaline Duracell), electronic components including electrolytic capacitors, and audible warning devices ("Sonalert"). It also was the parent firm of Mallory Batteries Ltd., an Irish producer of Ever Ready batteries. British Ever Ready had a large stake in it by World War II and had a close relationship with Mallory by the late 1960s (in the US, "Eveready" batteries were a trademark of Union Carbide, which had no relationship with P. R. Mallory).

Scientists George Wallis and Daniel I. Pomerantz at P. R. Mallory and Co discovered anodic bonding of glass to silicon.  Their work was published in 1969 in the Journal of Applied Physics and is protected under U.S. Patent No 3,397,278.

History 
The company was founded in 1916 by Philip Rogers Mallory, and initially manufactured tungsten wire for lamp filaments. The P.R. Mallory Company also manufactured resistance welding electrodes. In 1924 the company moved its headquarters to 3029 East Washington Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, and had several divisions besides Duracell batteries including Mallory Capacitor Company with manufacturing plants in Greencastle, Indiana; Huntsville, Alabama; Waynesboro, Tennessee; and Glasgow,  Kentucky. Mallory Controls had a manufacturing plant in Frankfort, Indiana, and Mallory Distributor Products had a plant in Indianapolis.

In 1942, inventor Samuel Ruben, with Mallory, developed a practical balanced form of mercury battery that was used for portable electronic equipment during World War II.

In the 1950s the company had developed a powerful alkaline AAA cell for use in a Kodak camera flash, but the Kodak company required Mallory to license the design to competitors to ensure availability in the consumer market. In 1957, the company sold stock. In 1960, founder P.R. Mallory gave control of the company to his son G. Barron Mallory, who was chairman from 1960 to 1968 and active on the board for many years afterward. The company began manufacturing batteries at plants in Kentucky and Tennessee in 1960 and 1961. The company registered its "Duracell" trademark in 1964 and began rebranding under the new name with the intent of marketing directly to consumers instead of industrial and military customers.

In 1978, the company was purchased by Dart Industries and renamed Duracell after its alkaline battery brand. In 1985, the European metal alloys parts of the former P.R. Mallory company were collected under the names "Mallory Corporation" and "Mallory Alloys Group".
