Woonsocket Company Mill Complex. The Woonsocket Company Mill Complex (also known as Hemond, Inc., Woonsocket Weaving Co., Blackstone Valley Electric) is a historic district encompassing one of the largest mill complexes in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.  The district includes all of the buildings historically associated with the Woonsocket Company, a major manufacturer of cotton textiles in the 19th century.  The complex is located along the eastern bank of the Blackstone River between Court and Bernon Streets.  It includes three handsome stone mills, built between 1827 and 1859, and a power plant that was built on the site of the former #3 mill between 1890 and 1920, as well as the remnants of the canal that originally carried water to the buildings for power.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

SpaceAge Control. SpaceAge Control is a design, development, and sourcing services firm. The firm focuses on sensing and measurement devices and systems to include:

air data (ground, air, space) probes and sensors
displacement/position transducers and sensors
planar and hemispherical coordinate sensors (measurement in two and three dimensions (2D, 3D))
other devices dealing with pressure, airflow, temperature, and displacement

The company has supplied precision displacement sensors to industries worldwide since 1969.  During its history, the company created ongoing displacement sensing innovations starting with miniature and subminiature string potentiometers (1968) and 2D and 3D cable-actuated displacement sensors (1974).

History
SpaceAge Control was established in 1968 to design, develop, and manufacture pilot protection devices in support of space-based and high-performance test aircraft programs. In 1970, the company was awarded a NASA contract to produce precision, small-format position transducers for aircraft flight control testing. The successful completion of this contract led to the development and production of a complete line of innovative, small-size position transducers.

In 1974, the company was tasked with producing a multi-dimensional "swivel head" air data probe to enhance total and static pressure accuracy at the high angles of attack associated with rotary wing aircraft.  The resulting product, the 100510 air data boom, is used for flight test air data sensing requirements to include STOL, VSTOL, rotary wing, business jet, military transport, and general aviation aircraft.
 
Through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, significantly all U.S., Canadian, and European aerospace companies have used the company's air data products and position transducers in their research, development, and test activities. Often, these products were designed and manufactured to custom specifications.

In 1989, the company began its focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the development and introduction of the 100400 miniature air data boom.  That product use led to the adoption of SpaceAge Control air data products on a broad range of unmanned aircraft to include aerial targets, autonomous vehicles, and experimental vehicles.

Aluminium molybdate. Aluminium molybdate is the chemical compound Al2(MoO4)3.  It forms in certain hydrodesulfurization catalysts when alumina is doped with excess molybdenum.  When molybdates are used to inhibit corrosion in aluminum piping, the protective film formed is hydrated aluminum molybdate.  Although small quantities of aluminum molybdate form during aluminothermic reduction of molybdia, mechanical activation inhibits their formation.  

Large-scale samples can be prepared via sol-gel synthesis, and have been proposed for molybdenum-99 storage in nuclear medicine.  

The room temperature crystal structure was refined using time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction data. It is monoclinic and isostructural with Fe2(MoO4)3 and Cr2(MoO4)3.  At high temperatures, the crystal rearranges to βAl2(MoO4)3, isostructural with scandium tungstate.  

Aluminum molybdate has a very low thermal expansion coefficient near room temperature.

Socially relevant computing. Socially relevant computing (SRC) is a unique paradigm in computing introduced by the researchers at the University at Buffalo, Rice University and Microsoft Research. It focuses on the use of computation to solve problems that students are most passionate about. It presents computer science as a cutting-edge technological discipline that empowers them to solve problems of personal interest (socially relevant with a "little s"), as well as problems that are important to society at large (socially relevant with a "capital s").

SRC emphasizes the use of computation for solving problems of personal and societal interest to students. It offers opportunities to demonstrate that computer science is a mainstream endeavor and that it offers conceptual and technological tools for solving meaningful, real-world problems. Courses in this new framework help students identify and model tasks, and design and implement computational solutions that show deep understanding of their embedding in the real world. At the very least, SRC offers interesting examples to illustrate foundational concepts in computer science. By emphasizing problem-solving, and by giving students practice in recognizing needs and engineering solutions to them via  computation, SRC at its finest promises to create a more entrepreneurial, as well as a more broadly educated computer scientist.

Richmond Paper Company Mill Complex. The Richmond Paper Company Mill Complex is an historic American paper mill at 310 Bourne Avenue in East Providence, Rhode Island.  It comprises a group of mainly brick buildings on  of land, bounded on the north by Bourne Avenue, the east by railroad tracks, the west by the Seekonk River, and on the south by land formerly owned by the Washburn Wire Company.  The first seven of the surviving buildings were built between 1883 and 1887 by the Richmond Paper Company.  The property was acquired at auction in 1894 by Eugene Phillips, who operated the American Electrical Works on the premises, adding more buildings between 1900 and 1930 and demolishing several buildings specific to paper processing.  The modern property has a variety of light industrial uses.  The Richmond Paper Company was the place where Arthur Dehon Little began his career.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, and is part of the Phillipsdale Historic District.

Blackdown Mill, Punnetts Town. Blackdown Mill or Cherry Clack Mill is a grade II listed smock mill at Punnetts Town, East Sussex, England, which has been restored.

History

Blackdown Mill, was originally built at Three Chimneys, Cranbrook, Kent. She was dismantled and moved to Punnetts Town in 1859 to replace a post mill that had burnt down. The original mill was referred to as Cherry Clack Mill in the 1851 census, when Demas Dallaway was the miller. The move was done by Neve's, the Heathfield millwrights. The mill was working by wind until the 1920s, when the mill became unable to turn to wind because of a broken curb. The mill was stripped of machinery and the cap and sails removed by Neve's in 1933.

In 1946, Archie Dallaway decided to restore the mill back to working order. A new cap, of a different design to the original was built. A new fantail fitted, and the windshaft from Staplecross Mill, which was demolished in 1951, was installed. Four new sails were made and fitted in 1972. Two pairs of millstones were installed, one pair coming from a watermill at Polegate. A third pair of stones was added later.

Description

Blackdown Mill is a three-storey smock mill on a single-storey brick base. It originally had Kentish-style cap, winded by a fantail. When last working for trade she had four patent sails. The mill drove two pairs of overdrift millstones, with a third pair worked by engine. A saw was also worked by the mill.

As restored, a beehive cap clad in aluminium is now carried, and the sails are now common sails. The sails are  long and  wide. The cap is winded by a  diameter fantail. The cast-iron windshaft carries an  diameter oak brake wheel, which drives the original cast-iron wallower on a cast iron upright shaft. The great spur wheel is a replacement, built by Mr Dallaway. Three pairs of millstones are driven overdrift. Recent photos show that the mill is missing two sails and the fantail.

In 2016, high winds set the restoration back as the new mast snapped.

Jean St-Germain Raz-Mut. The Jean St-Germain Raz-Mut was an ultralight aircraft developed in Canada in the 1970s and marketed in kit form for homebuilding.

Design
It was a minimalist, open framework design consisting of a three-wheeled chassis supporting a pilot seat and pusher engine installation, to which a rigid wing of aluminium structure and skin was attached by struts. A conventional empennage of fabric-covered aluminium construction was carried on a long boom aft of the wing, and supported with a strut to the chassis.

Operational history
In August 2009 there were three Raz-Mut 440As on the Canadian Civil Register, all registered as amateur-builts, although at one time seven were registered.

Learning and Teaching Support Network. The Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN) was an initiative of the United Kingdom higher education bodies to promote high quality learning and teaching in all subject disciplines in higher education. It was intended to support the sharing of innovation and good practices in learning and teaching including the use, where appropriate, of communications and information technology.

Overview
LTSN operated through a set of 24 centres, specific to different subjects such as Engineering or English, so that good practice appropriate to that subject could be gathered and disseminated, and building up a network of practitioners.

In May 2004 the LTSN merged with the Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILTHE) and the National Co-ordination Team (NCT) to form the Higher Education Academy.  The Subject Centres continued, but were closed in 2011.

SAF-TE. In computer  storage, SAF-TE (abbreviated from SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure) is an industry standard to interface an enclosure in-band to a (parallel) SCSI subsystem in order to gain access to information or control for various elements and parameters. These include temperature, fan status, slot status (populated/empty), door status, power supplies, alarms, and indicators (e.g. LEDs, LCDs). Practically, any given SAF-TE device will only support a subset of all possible sensors or controls.

Scope

Many RAID controllers can utilize a SAF-TE "activated" backplane by detecting a swapped drive (after a defect) and automatically starting a rebuild. A passive subsystem usually requires a manual rescan and rebuild.

A SAF-TE device (SEP) is represented as a SCSI processor device that is polled every few seconds by e.g. the RAID controller software. Due to the low overhead required, impact on bus performance is negligible. For SAS or Fibre Channel systems, SAF-TE is replaced by the more standardized SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).

The most widely used version was defined in the SAF-TE Interface Specification Intermediate Review R041497, released on April 14, 1997 by nStor (now part of Seagate Technology) and Intel.

Command interface
Status requests are performed as READ BUFFER SCSI commands, enclosure action requests as WRITE BUFFER commands.

RUR-PLE. RUR - Python Learning Environment (RUR-PLE) is an educational tool to help students learn the Python programming language. Made by André Roberge. RUR-PLE uses the idea behind Karel the Robot, making the learning of Python programming more interesting. A student writes a program that controls a 'robot' that moves through a city consisting of a rectangular grid of streets (left-right) and avenues (up-down).

It is very similar to Guido van Robot (GvR), but RUR-PLE can use all  Python features (while GvR only limited subset of syntax).
RUR-PLE has 48 lessons (in main European languages and Chinese) with the code and robot environment examples to experiment with.

A second implementation of RUR-PLE, Rurple NG is in progress.

Beaman and Smith Company Mill. The Beaman and Smith Company Mill is an historic factory complex at 20 Gordon Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island.

History 
The Beaman Smith Company Mill was built in 1886 by Elmer A. Beaman and George-H. Smith for the manufacturing metal-working machine tools. The building consists of two masonry buildings at the junction of Gordon and Saratoga Streets in south Providence.   The older of the two buildings is a one-to-two story brick structure, built in 1898 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company.  It has a steel frame, and is about  long.  The second building is an early example of concrete slab construction, built in 1917.  It was designed by local industrial architecture firm, Jenks & Ballou.  It is four stories in height, and is attached to the older building's south face.  It originally had a brick surface, but much of this was stuccoed.  The brick building presents four bays to Gordon Street, while the concrete one has two.  The complex exemplifies two notable early modern construction methods, and is a symbol of the industrial development of south Providence in the late 19th century.  Beaman and Smith was a manufacturer of precision machine tools; they went out of business in 1926.  The complex was occupied for many years by the James Hill Manufacturing Company, who produced metal containers.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
