USS Satellite (SP-1012). USS Satellite (SP-1012) was a yacht acquired by the U.S. Navy for use as a training ship during World War I.  She operated out of Key West, Florida, and was scrapped at war's end.

World War I service 

Soon after the United States entered World War I, Satellite, a wooden yacht, built during 1887 by John F. Mumm at Brooklyn, New York, was enrolled in the Naval Coast Defense Reserve for Navy service. She was delivered to the Navy on 9 July 1917 by her owner, E. L. Sanborn of New York City, and commissioned on 7 September 1917.

Assigned to local duty within the 7th Naval District, Satellite was based at Key West, Florida, during her World War I service. She trained crews of new submarine chasers about to be commissioned, by a vigorous schedule of seamanship drills and gunnery exercises, until inactivated about 6 April 1918 for overhaul.

Post-war deactivation 

The Satellite was not returned to full service because of boiler trouble, and was struck from the Navy list on 30 March 1920. She was subsequently sold for scrapping.

Soft dome tweeter. The soft dome tweeter is a particular type of tweeter invented and patented in 1967 by Bill Hecht, a renowned pioneer in the early days of audio engineering and the founder of Phase Technology.

Hecht states that he was confronted with what seemed a mundane problem: When showing speakers at various audio shows, onlookers often poked at the two-inch dome tweeters of the display models, sometimes cracking them.  He set out to make a soft, mock tweeter that wouldn't crack when prodded.

“I brought it back to the lab, and I thought it might possibly make a good mid-range if I coated it,” Hecht recalls. “So I coated it with a thin rubber coating and put noise through it with a signal generator. To my absolute surprise, it went beyond 12K; that was quite a shock.” 

Prior to the soft dome tweeter, the belief was that only a rigid tweeter was capable of producing high frequencies. The soft dome revolutionized the reproduction of high frequency sound; it produced a smoother frequency response, wider dispersion to higher frequencies, and had almost no high frequency resonances, all with much lower distortion than conventional tweeters up to that point. After it was patented, the soft dome tweeter became an industry standard and was licensed almost immediately by all major audio companies in the world including Philips, Peerless, McIntosh,  Sony, JVC, Yamaha, Pioneer, Kenwood, Shure and many more.

Porterfield 35. The Porterfield Model 35 Flyabout was an American two-seat cabin monoplane built by the Porterfield Aircraft Corporation of Kansas City.

Development
The aircraft was designed by Noel Hockaday and was built by students at the Wyandotte High School as the Wyandotte Pup. Porterfield Aircraft recognised the potential of the aircraft design and bought the design rights and also the services of Hockaday as works manager and designer. The Pup was developed to appear in 1935 as the Porterfield Model 35 Flyabout a braced high-wing-monoplane. It had a fixed tailskid landing gear and room for two. It was originally powered by a 60 hp (45 kW) LeBlond 5D radial engine. Variants later appeared with different engine installations and a deluxe model the De Luxe Sport. Over 240 aircraft were built.

Boeing Model 360. The Boeing Model 360 is an American experimental medium-lift tandem rotor cargo helicopter developed privately by Boeing to demonstrate advanced helicopter technology.  The aircraft was intended as a technology demonstrator, with no plans to put the type into production, and many of its design features were carried onto other programs including the RAH-66 Comanche and V-22 Osprey.  The sole prototype has been preserved and is a static exhibit at the American Helicopter Museum in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Design and development

Boeing Vertol developed its Model 360 in the 1980s as a technology demonstrator with company funds.  It was a new design and made significant use of composites.

The Boeing Model 360 differed from its brethren CH-46 and CH-47 tandem rotor helicopters by incorporating extensive amounts of composite materials in structural and dynamic components, namely in advanced rotor heads composed of fiberglass and graphite composites, along with graphite fuselage frames and longerons.  The exterior of the craft integrated a Nomex core, surfaced by a Kevlar woven mesh with graphite-strengthened edges.  The two tandem four-bladed counter-rotating rotors were each driven by Avco Lycoming AL5512 turboshaft engines mounted on either side of the rear fuselage. In another departure from its military brethren, the Model 360 had no external sponsons containing the landing gear or fuel, the tricycle landing gear instead retracting into the main fuselage. Fuel was contained in three crashworthy cells below the cabin floor.

The Model 360 featured a glass cockpit with six multi-function displays (MFD).

Carl S. Bates. Carl S. Bates (January 1, 1884 – August 27, 1956) was an aviation pioneer from Clear Lake, Iowa. He piloted gliders in 1899, and in 1906 he designed a gasoline-powered airplane that was equipped with an air-cooled engine, a metal propeller and metal wing rudders.

Biography
Bates was the first person in 
Iowa to fly a heavier-than-air aircraft. He also built, flew and sold several aircraft and plans. Foundations of the modern hang gliding movement are traced in part to the popular Chanute style biplane that he spread with his articles to the public, as well as providing plans for homebuilders to build the biplane hang glider. 

In 1898 at age 14, Bates built and flew a hang glider.

In April 1909, he authored a Popular Science how-to article on hang glider construction.

In 1911, Bates designed a built and monoplane with an engine of his own design. 

In 1912, Bates sold his company, the Bates Aeroplane Co, to Edward Bayard Heath.

Bates died in 1956.

Legacy
In 2002 Carl S. Bates was inducted in the Iowa Aviation Hall of Fame.

Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.8. The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.8 was a British two-seat single-engined general purpose biplane of the First World War, designed by John Kenworthy at the Royal Aircraft Factory in 1913. Small numbers were used by the Royal Flying Corps over the Western Front in the first year of the war, with the type being used as a trainer until 1916.

Development and design
The B.E.8 was the definitive development of the earlier B.E 3 type, and the last of the B.E. series to be designed with a rotary engine. The main changes were that the lower wings were now attached to the fuselage near the lower longerons, rather than running under it, and that the tail unit was changed to the B.E.2 pattern. Three prototypes were built at Farnborough with a single long cockpit for both crew members. The production aircraft had two separate cockpits and were built by sub-contractors. The improved B.E.8a of 1915 had new B.E.2c type wings, featuring ailerons instead of wing warping and a revised tail unit.

Operational history
Both models of the aircraft entered service with the Royal Flying Corps and a small number served in France in 1914 and early 1915 but most were used by training units.

Variants
BE.8
Production aircraft with wing warping.
BE.8a
Production aircraft with ailerons.

Bernard Greenberg. Bernard S. Greenberg is a programmer and computer scientist, known for his work on Multics and the Lisp machine.

Projects
In 1978, Greenberg implemented Multics Emacs using Multics Maclisp.  The success of this effort influenced the choice of Lisp as the basis for later versions of Emacs.

Greenberg was involved in the design of the "New Error System" at Symbolics, which in turn influenced the condition system adopted by ANSI Common Lisp.

While working at Symbolics, Greenberg implemented the Lisp machine File System (LMFS).

In 1987, Greenberg and Sonya Keene authored RFC 1037. NFILE - a file access protocol.

In 1994, nycsubway.org released Greenberg's NXSYS – a design environment for, and simulator of, the control signals used by the New York City Transit Authority’s signaling and control networks. NXSYS provides an interactive 3D view from the perspective of a New York City Subway motorman. The source code for the latest version, v2.5.1, was published to github on 4-Feb-2022.  This version is no longer buildable for Microsoft Windows but the older v2.1 Windows binaries and new v2.5.1 macOS binaries are available here. According to the online documentation, the NXSYS “relay language” is a subset of Lisp that describes subway track systems and control signal pathways; the subway simulation is actually run by the Lisp program, compiled by NXSYS, from the relay language source.

Together with Thomas Milo, Greenberg is the author of Basis Technology's Arabic editor. It handles, among others, an improved version of the DMG (Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft) transcription method, which supports reversible transcription and semi-reversible transliteration for Arabic text.

Husar-rover. The HUSAR rover is part of the Hunveyor system. Like as Hunveyor (Hungarian UNiversity SURVEYOR) is an experimental university lander model, so the HUSAR is (Hungarian University Surface Analyser Rover) an experimental university rover model. This rover accompanies the Hunveyor as like Sojourner was accompanying the Mars Pathfinder lander. For the Hunveyor the Surveyor was the example, for the Husar-rover the Mars Pathfinder-Sojourner system was the example from the real space exploration world.

The Hunveyor-Husar system is an educational work at Hungarian Universities, Colleges and High Schools. There are smaller and larger model-cars supported by onboard computer, camera and some additional instrumentation. The building of the Husar-rover types is focusing on the basic planetary surface activities by moving vehicle. The rover has a solar panel on its board placed on a model-car chassis. In the Husar-b version the drive is on the back wheels by electric engines, movements are controlled by the camera view through a wireless connection to the computer. It can be used for roving among rocks and observing their surfaces. On a larger chassis Husar-2a version there are independent driving on all the four wheels. This fact allows directing a special movement. The rover can turn in a very narrow arc which is important to approach objects in side direction. The wheels in one axis are connected by a differential. The structural framework, the driving mechanism all have a left- and right-hand side symmetric structure. The movements are directed through servo engines, which were originally designed for analogous direction, however, even 8 of these servos can be directed by a microcontroller. This microcontroller gets the position of the servos through RS 232 port of the computer. The camera of Husar-2 transmits images with 30 frame/sec, and it has wireless connection with the computer (1200 MHz).

In a planetary simulation work we use testfields which are analog to a selected planetary surface. On the testfields (test table) the most important rock types from the Solar System are arranged around the Hunveyor and Husar. For example, desert sand morphology (according to the observations of Mars Pathfinder) can be modelled around lander and rover in order to give a real planetary environment for simulation studies. Complex studies of the main streams in the surface, wind system and rock interactions also can be modelled. (i.e. stream strength of the wind can be deciphered from the deposition of deflation style of the lee-forms). We show one of our test-fields around Hunveyor and Husar.

Husar rovers were built with Hunveyor-1, -2, and -4 landers, and they were independently built by the Husar-5 and Husar-6 groups at Budapest, Pécs, Székesfehérvár, Sopron and Dorog.

Metalization. Metalization may refer to one of a number of different processes:

Coating a covering applied an object's surface that improves surface properties: adhesion,  resistance to corrosion or wear or scratches. 
Metallizing (also metalize) to coat, treat, or combine with a metal.
Thermal spraying  melted (or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface.
Vacuum deposition  is a family of processes used to deposit layers as thin as one atom to millimeters thick in a vacuum.
Vacuum metallizing the metallic coating of an object takes place in a vacuum chamber. 
Vacuum coating a mechanized process for applying coatings to lengths of materials.
Transition of a nonmetal to a metallic substance due to a change of allotrope or closure of a bandgap, usually at very high pressures
Metalation, a reaction between an organometallic compound and another organic compound which typically includes a halide group
