IDAS (missile). 

History 

IDAS (Interactive Defence and Attack System for Submarines) is a medium-range missile currently being developed for the Type 209 and Type 212A submarine class of the German Navy.

IDAS technology is based on the IRIS-T air-to-air missile which primarily targets aerial threats, such as ASW helicopters, but also against small or medium-sized surface vessels or coastal land targets. It is currently being developed by Diehl Defence and HDW, which is a part of Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), to be fired from Type 212's torpedo tubes. IDAS will be fibre-optic guided and officially has a range of approx. 40 km. Four missiles will fit in one torpedo tube, stored in a magazine. First deliveries of IDAS for the German Navy and operational service were planned from 2014 on.

Except for a few years of testing by the Royal Navy and Israeli Navy of the short range TV guided Blowpipe missile in the 1970s the IDAS system is the world's first missile which gives submarines the capability to engage air threats whilst submerged, and the first tube-launched missile that does not emerge in a capsule, but is fired directly from the torpedo tubes.

Alternatively, IDAS could be in theory fired from the Gabler Maschinenbau TRIPLE-M mast system, but, at least in the new Type 216 submarine currently under development, IDAS will be fired as normal from the torpedo tubes, while the Muraena will be the primary weapons option for its TRIPLE-M system.

In May 2013, the Turkish company ROKETSAN and the German IDAS Consortium formed by Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and Diehl BGT Defence signed a cooperation agreement to develop and supply the submarine-launched IDAS missile

TeleForm. TeleForm is a form of processing applications originally developed by Cardiff Software and now is owned by OpenText.

Function 
TeleForm performs several tasks:
 design machine-readable data forms in a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG design environment
 scan images using high-volume document scanners
 ingest images created by other applications
 automatically read data from completed forms
 allows users to review and correct data, if needed
 export and store the read data in an external database

Forms can be individually designed within the application or templated using existing forms. When completed forms are scanned, any handwritten, machine-printed, barcodes, and bubble responses are read, evaluated, verified, and exported to the end databases.

Dependencies 
Functionality of TeleForm, and similar applications, relies heavily on other technologies.

TeleForm uses several sorts of optical technologies to process forms:
 Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)
 Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
 Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR)
 Barcode Recognition

History 
Originally designed in 1991 to capture data from faxed forms, TeleForm now handles data from fax, paper and electronic forms.

The Cardiff TeleForm product was re-branded Verity TeleForm for a brief period in 2004 and 2005, when Verity Inc acquired Cardiff Software.  In 2005, Autonomy acquired Verity, and the Cardiff brand was reintroduced as "Autonomy TeleForm".  On August 18, 2011, HP announces its intention to purchase Autonomy. TeleForm was officially re-branded as HP TeleForm in the release notes for version 10.9  TeleForm was purchased by OpenText in 2016 and is sold and supported as OpenText TeleForm.

Donald Roebling Estate. The Donald Roebling Estate, also known as Spottiswoode and Spotswood, is a historic residential estate in Clearwater, within Pinellas County on the West coast of Florida.

History
It was the home of inventor, engineer, industrial designer, and philanthropist Donald Roebling (1908–1959). It is located on the channel at 700 Spottiswoode Lane in Clearwater. Roebling bought and named the parcel of land Spottiswoode, in honor of his fiancée, Florence Spotswood Parker.

Donald Roebling was the great-grandson of John Augustus Roebling who designed the Brooklyn Bridge, and grandson of Washington Roebling who was in charge of the bridge's construction.

The buildings were designed in the Tudor Revival style by architects Roy W. Wakeling and John Phillipoff, and the residence was completed in 1929. The estate includes the mansion, a boathouse on the Intracoastal Waterway, an 'engineering−inventions' machine shop, and other outbuildings.

Harbor Oaks
The estate was built in the Harbor Oaks Residential District, Clearwater's first planned residential development, that was opened in 1914 by Dean Alvord, a major developer from New York. The development offered then-innovative features such as paved streets, curbs, and sidewalks, underground utility and sewer systems, and tree lined parkways. Other original Harbor Oaks residents included author Rex Beach, Brooklyn Dodgers owner Charles Ebbett, industrialist Robert Ingersoll, and members of the Studebaker, Proctor, and Gamble families.

Landmark
On December 19, 1979, the Donald Roebling Estate was added to the US National Register of Historic Places.

The estate is also protected within the Harbor Oaks Historic District.

Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation. The Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO) refers to a collection of orders requiring the electricity distribution network operators in England and Wales to purchase electricity from the nuclear power and renewable energy sectors. Similar mechanisms operated in Scotland (the Scottish Renewable Orders under the Scottish Renewables Obligation) and Northern Ireland (the Northern Ireland Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation).

Five orders were made under the NFFO before the UK government replaced it with the Renewables Obligation. The first order or 'tranche' was on 1 October 1990 with an average price of 7.51 pence per kWh being paid to energy generators, and the fifth and last was in September 1998 at an average of 2.71 pence per kWh.

Background
The Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation was put in place under the powers of the Electricity Act 1989, under which electricity generation in the UK was privatised.

The original intention was to provide financial support to the UK nuclear power generators, which continued to be state-owned. The proposals were enlarged in scope before the obligation was brought into operation in 1990 to include the renewable energy sector.

Contracts from the last three rounds remain in place with the generators receiving the agreed amount from the NFPA and the NFPA effectively taking ownership of the Renewables Obligation certificate (ROC) to which the generator is entitled.

Funding
Funding for the NFFO was originally generated by the Fossil Fuel Levy, a levy placed on all electricity consumption in the UK. This was collected by  Ofgem, which paid it to the Non-Fossil Purchasing Agency, a body created in 1990 by the public electricity suppliers to purchase on the supplier's behalf. The purchasing agency is based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Since the introduction in 2001 of the New Electricity Trading Arrangements, electricity suppliers bid for the electricity and ROCs in competitive auctions held by the Non-Fossil Purchasing Agency, with any shortfall in price being funded by the Levy. As a result of these arrangements, the Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation has been generating a trading surplus, expected to have reached £500m by 2008. The government have been criticised for siphoning off funds from this surplus to contribute to the exchequer, instead of using it to support renewable energy in other ways.

Hypofluorous acid. Hypofluorous acid, chemical formula , is the only known oxyacid of fluorine and the only known oxoacid in which the main atom gains electrons from oxygen to create a negative oxidation state. The oxidation state of the oxygen in this acid (and in the hypofluorite ion  and in its salts called hypofluorites) is 0, while its valence is 2. It is also the only hypohalous acid that can be isolated as a solid. HOF is an intermediate in the oxidation of water by fluorine, which produces hydrogen fluoride, oxygen difluoride, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and oxygen. HOF is explosive at room temperature, forming HF and :

This reaction is catalyzed by water.

It was isolated in the pure form by passing  gas over ice at −40 °C, rapidly collecting the HOF gas away from the ice, and condensing it:

The compound has been characterized in the solid phase by X-ray crystallography as a bent molecule with an angle of 101°. The O–F and O–H bond lengths are 144.2 and 96.4 picometres, respectively. The solid framework consists of chains with O–H···O linkages. The structure has also been analyzed in the gas phase, a state in which the H–O–F bond angle is slightly narrower (97.2°).

Thiophene chemists commonly call a solution of hypofluorous acid in acetonitrile (generated in situ by passing gaseous fluorine through water in acetonitrile) Rozen's reagent.

Difference from other hypohalous acids 
The formal oxidation state of oxygen in hypofluorous acid and hypofluorite is 0; the same oxidation state found in molecular oxygen. In most oxygen compounds, including the other hypohalous acids, oxygen takes on a state of -2. The oxygen (0) atom is the root of hypofluorous acid's strength as an oxidizer, in contrast to the halogen (+1) atom in other hypohalic acids.

This alters the acid's chemistry. Where reduction of a general hypohalous acid reduces the halogen atom and yields the corresponding elemental halogen gas,

reduction of hypofluorous acid instead reduces the oxygen atom and yields fluoride directly.

Unlike other hypohalous acids, HOF is a weaker oxidant than elemental fluorine.

Hypofluorites
Hypofluorites are formally derivatives of , which is the conjugate base of hypofluorous acid. One example is trifluoromethyl hypofluorite (), which is a trifluoromethyl ester of hypofluorous acid. The conjugate base is known in salts such as lithium hypofluorite.

Borland Reflex. Borland Reflex is a flat-file database management system for DOS. It was the first commercial PC database to use the mouse and graphics mode, and drag-and-drop capability in the report formatting module. Reflex was originally developed by Analytica Corporation.

The engineering team of Analytica, managed by Brad Silverberg and including Reflex co-founder Adam Bosworth became the core of Borland's engineering team in the U.S. Brad Silverberg was vice-president of engineering until he left in early 1990 to head up the Personal Systems division at Microsoft. Adam Bosworth initiated and headed up the Quattro project until moving to Microsoft later in 1990 to take over the project which eventually became Access. Another Reflex developer, Ken Day, later moved to Macromedia where he worked on Shockwave, among other projects.

Reflex still runs on any modern (2003) Windows-based PC.

Gordon Bell, a senior researcher in Microsoft's Media Presence Research Group, includes a case study on Analytica in his book High-Tech Ventures: The Guide For Entrepreneurial Success.

Banksman. In Irish and British civil engineering, a banksman is the person who directs the operation of a crane or larger vehicle from the point near where loads are attached and detached. The term 'dogman' may be used in Australia and New Zealand, while 'spotter' is the more common term in United States.

Offshore & oil and gas 
The general term for a professional banksman offshore is a 'rigger' or deck crew. A team of riggers will manage lifting operations. There are specific methods, pieces of equipment, and safety protocol for many different types of loads. Offshore, on rigs or vessels, most equipment and materials will arrive on location, transferred by boat utilising a crane, therefore banksmen play an important role in the marine and offshore industries.

Contemporary
Crane or large vehicle drivers do not always have clear visibility of the loading area, especially when tower cranes are employed. The banksman is in charge of the crane movements from the point of loading and unloading. They may use a system of hand signals or a radio link.

A banksman may also be responsible for directing the movement and loading/unloading of lorries, or directing the movement of other plant.  A banksman may also control the movements of an excavator, by carefully monitoring the bucket for any obstructions or underground services.

In many countries, banksmen are required to meet a regulated standard, such as laid down by the UK's Health and Safety Executive; in the UK over a quarter of vehicle deaths at work are due to reversing vehicles.

Usage timeline 

1825: the man stationed at the bank or top of a pit who unhooked and emptied the laden corves into carts or wagons, from a frame or stage.
1849: the man who drew the full tubs from the cages at the surface, when wound up by the engine, and replaced them with empty ones; he also put the full tubs to the weighing machine, and thence to the skreens, upon which he teemed the coals. It was also his duty to keep an account of the quantity of coals and stones drawn each day. 
1894: a person who controlled the unloading and loading of the cage at the pit top, and signalled the descent of the workmen.

Remote manipulator. A remote manipulator, also known as a telefactor, telemanipulator, or waldo (after the 1942 short story "Waldo" by Robert A. Heinlein which features a man who invents and uses such devices), is a device which, through electronic, hydraulic, or mechanical linkages, allows a hand-like mechanism to be controlled by a human operator. The purpose of such a device is usually to move or manipulate hazardous materials for reasons of safety, similar to the operation and play of a claw crane game.

History

In 1945, the company Central Research Laboratories was given the contract to develop a remote manipulator for the Argonne National Laboratory. The intent was to replace devices which manipulated highly radioactive materials from above a sealed chamber or hot cell, with a mechanism which operated through the side wall of the chamber, allowing a researcher to stand normally while working.

The result was the Master-Slave Manipulator Mk. 8, or MSM-8, which became the iconic remote manipulator seen in newsreels and movies, such as The Andromeda Strain or THX 1138.

Robert A. Heinlein claimed a much earlier origin for remote manipulators. He wrote that he got the idea for "waldos" after reading a 1918 article in Popular Mechanics about "a poor fellow afflicted with myasthenia gravis ... [who] devised complicated lever arrangements to enable him to use what little strength he had." An article in Science Robotics on robots, science fiction, and nuclear accidents discusses how the science fiction waldos are now a major type of real-world robots used in the nuclear industry.
