Pillar Data Systems. Pillar Data Systems, a computer data storage company headquartered in San Jose, California, developed midrange and enterprise network storage systems. Pillar Data employed 325 people and sold its products to organizations in the financial services, healthcare, government and legal industries. Its primary product-offering was the Axiom platform.

History
Formerly Digital Appliance Storage Systems Israel, Pillar Data Systems was created in July 2001 with funding from Tako Ventures, LLC, the venture arm of Larry Ellison, founder and CEO of Oracle Corporation. 
University of California Berkeley and Stanford University alumnus Mike Workman founded and later became CEO and chairman of the company. By 2005, it had over $150 million in financing.

The Pillar Axiom product integrated storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS), supporting  management of tiered storage on one platform. 
Axiom supported any combination of iSCSI SAN, Fibre Channel SAN or Network File System (NFS) NAS. Pillar also offered products for Microsoft Exchange Server, Oracle Database, OracleVM, and VMware data.

Aviat Eagle. The Christen Eagle, which later became the Aviat Eagle in the mid-1990s, is an aerobatic sporting biplane aircraft that has been produced in the United States since the late 1970s.

Design
The aircraft was intended to compete with the Pitts Special. Designed by Frank Christensen, originally of Salt Lake City, the Eagle II is marketed in kit form for homebuilding. The Eagle II is a small aircraft of conventional configuration with single-bay, equal-span staggered biplane wings braced with streamlined flying and landing wires and an I-strut to form a box truss. The pilot and a single passenger sit in tandem underneath a large bubble canopy. The tailwheel undercarriage is fixed, with the mainwheels mounted on spring aluminum legs. The main wheels are housed in streamlined fairings. The fuselage and tail are constructed of chromoly steel welded tube, with the forward fuselage skinned in aluminum and the rear fuselage and tail covered in fabric. The wing structure is Sitka spruce wood and fabric covered.  The engine cowling is fiberglass.  By 2011 over 350 aircraft were flying.

Operational history

In 1979, the Eagles Aerobatic Team (Charlie Hillard, Tom Poberezny, and Gene Soucy) chose the Christen Eagle as a replacement for their Pitts Special airshow act "The Red Devils". The act continued until 1995. All three Christen Eagles hang from the lobby of the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Variants
Christen Eagle I Single seat variant. Lycoming AEIO-540 . First design model, built at the San Carlos Airport. Four airframes built, one is now based in Dallas Texas, the other 3 are in the EAA Museum in Oshkosh WI.

Christen/Aviat Eagle II Most common variant, two seat dual controls. Lycoming AEIO-360.
The first Eagle II produced (Serial #001) is on display at the Connecticut Air & Space Center in Stratford, CT.

Christen Super Eagle I 540 Two built. Lycoming AEIO-540 . Formerly flown by the Iron Eagles aerobatic team, now owned by Professional Pilots based in Texas and Alaska.

Christen Super Eagle II Several examples built, two seats, limited fuel tanks.

ProMax. ProMax is a chemical process simulator for process troubleshooting and design, developed and sold by Bryan Research and Engineering, Inc. Initially released in late 2005, ProMax is a continuance of two previous process simulators, PROSIM and TSWEET.  ProMax is considered the industry standard for designing amine gas treating and glycol dehydration units.

Program History
In 1974 Bryan Research and Engineering (BR&E) began developing simulation software for sulfur recovery units with a command-line interface.  In 1976 this program was released under the name SULFUR.  Amine sweetening, for which BR&E is most well known, was added in 1978 and the simulation package was renamed TSWEET.  A second product, DEHY, was released in 1980 for modeling glycol dehydration units.  Natural gas processing was added to the DEHY program in 1983 and the package was renamed PROSIM.  In 1988 BR&E introduced a graphical user interface to both programs, a novelty for chemical process simulators at the time.

TSWEET and PROSIM were both MS-DOS based programs and were both incorporated into ProMax.  ProMax is a late generation Windows application which uses Microsoft Visio as the graphical user interface.  Other capabilities were included in ProMax besides those already available in TSWEET and PROSIM enabling it to model almost any process in the oil and gas industry.

Company history
Bryan Research & Engineering, Inc. (BR&E) is a privately owned provider of software and engineering solutions to the oil, gas, refining and chemical industries. Since the company’s inception in 1974, BR&E has combined research and development in process simulation to provide clients with simulation tools.

Christen Industries. Christen Industries was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Hollister, California and Afton, Wyoming.

History
Founded in 1972, the company was created to manufacture the Christen Eagle, designed by Frank L. Christensen after he was unable to acquire the design rights to the Pitts Special. Later that year, a three-man team from the company became the first American team to win the world aerobatic championship. In 1983, the company announced that it acquired the design rights of the Laser 200 designed by Leo Loudenslager.

In 1982, the company acquired Aerotek, moved to Afton, Wyoming and continued production of the Pitts Special alongside the Christen Eagle II kits. The company then designed and manufactured the Christen Husky A-1 utility aircraft. In 1990, the company was the subject of a lawsuit claiming that the design of their aircraft was responsible for the death of a pilot. Christen Industries was, in turn, bought by Aviat Aircraft, Inc. in 1991, who continued both product lines.

Cicaré CK.1. 

The Cicaré CK.1 (originally, the CH.III Colibrí) was a light helicopter developed in Argentina in the 1970s. It was a small, single-rotor aircraft of pod-and-boom configuration with a fully enclosed bubble canopy that could seat three people side-by-side. Cicaré's previous helicopter designs had attracted the attention of the Argentine Air Force, which in 1974 contracted him to develop a light helicopter for training and also marketed for agricultural use. A prototype, registered LV-X62 flew in September 1976, and the Air Force placed an order for five pre-production machines. However, development was terminated at this point.

Drone Tactics. Drone Tactics (昆虫ウォーズ Konchuu Wars in Japan) is a turn-based strategy video game developed and published in Japan by Success and published in North America by Atlus for the Nintendo DS, which was released on May 13, 2008. The story follows two school children who find small insects from another world, and help them save it from an impending threat. Drone Tactics received positive reviews upon release. Critics praised the gameplay but criticized the story and characters for skewing towards a younger audience.

Gameplay
The player controls giant robot insects called Drones. The Drones have more than 100 different customizable weapons and upgrades. Alongside dozens of campaign operations in the game's story mode, the game features over 70 maps and local multiplayer play.

Plot
The story follows two young school children named Yamato and Tsubasa who find two small insects, a butterfly named Y-Ite and a rhino beetle named K-Buto. The insects came from a world called Cimexus and were looking for human allies to save their home world from an impending threat called the Black Swarm. The two children agree to help and head to Cimexus to fight the Black Swarm.

Reception

Drone Tactics received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Eurogamer called Drone Tactics a "superior example of turn-based strategy". RPGFan criticised the plot, but called Drone Tactics "an excellent Strategy RPG". GameZone also criticised the story, calling it "groan-inducing for anyone over the age of 12", but praised the gameplay, saying it is a "deep, fun strategy-RPG". GamesRadar commented that the "school age heroes, "let's be friends" story, and insect-like robots are clearly meant to endear the game to a younger audience and to escape the ire of nervous parents that thought Advance Wars or Custom Robo were too violent." and praised the game as "40-plus hours worth of awesome battles and addictive customizing."  Nintendo World Report called the story "terrible" and the dialogue "god awful", while singling out the graphics as "some of the best on the DS", concluding that "Overall, Drone Tactics is an enjoyable turn-based strategy RPG." 1UP.com said "Ignore its childish look, silly plot, and icky-bug factor – Drone Tactics is serious fun." IGN also found fault with the story, characters, and dialogue, while praising the "engaging insect mech combat", concluding "Drone Tactics is a solid strategy game". Game Informer called the story "absolutely terrible", and the game "functional and occasionally fun, but it never gets exciting."

Waterbury Dam. The Waterbury Dam was built between 1935 and1938 by 2,000 men working for the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, to serve as one of three dams to control the flow of Little River, Vermont, Winooski River and its tributaries. In 1927, flood waters from the Winooski River killed over 55 people and caused an estimated $13,000,000 in damage. Along with flood control, the dam generates electric energy, generating an average of  annually.

The  long dam is filled with  of material, including  of clay in its center portion. The rocks, which serve as the dam's walls, were hand-placed during the dam's original construction in 1938. The dam was modified in 1957 and 1958 to provide for increased security.

The dam and the reservoir it creates, the Waterbury Reservoir, are located in the town of Waterbury in northwestern Washington County.

Thermoelastic damping. Thermoelastic damping is a source of intrinsic material damping due to thermoelasticity present in almost all materials. As the name thermoelastic suggests, it describes the coupling between the elastic field in the structure caused by deformation and the temperature field.

Definition 
In any vibrating structure, the strain field causes a change in the internal energy such that compressed region becomes hotter (assuming a positive coefficient of thermal expansion) and extended region becomes cooler. The mechanism responsible for thermoelastic damping is the resulting lack of thermal equilibrium between various parts of the vibrating structure. Energy is dissipated when irreversible heat flow driven by the temperature gradient occurs. 

The earliest study of thermoelastic damping can be found in Clarence Zener’s classical work, in 1937, in which he studied thermoelastic damping in beams undergoing flexural vibrations. Flexural vibrations cause alternating tensile and compressive strains to build up on opposite sides of the neutral axis leading to a thermal imbalance. Irreversible heat flow which is driven by the temperature gradient causes vibrational energy to be dissipated.

Pützer Elster. The Pützer Elster was a German single-engined light aircraft, manufactured by Alfons Pützer KG (later Sportavia) in Bonn. It served with the Luftwaffe and Marineflieger and was used solely for recreational sport flying. Some continue to fly in 2020 in private ownership.

Development history
The Pützer Elster "Magpie" was developed from the Motorraab motor glider which had itself been developed from the Doppelraab  glider. The Elster was the first aircraft produced in Germany after World War II in any significant numbers. The design shared the wing of the Doppelraab, braced by metal struts, but was given a new monocoque fuselage constructed of plywood with seats for two occupants arranged side by side. The tricycle landing gear unusually featured a steerable nosewheel controlled by a hand grip.
Production ceased in 1967, by which time 45 examples had been built.

Variants

Elster
Prototype aircraft fitted with a 52 hp Porsche 678/3 engine, first flight 10 January 1959.

Elster B

Main production version fitted with a 95 hp Continental C-90 engine. 25 aircraft were operated by the Luftwaffe and Marineflieger sport flying groups. These aircraft were initially operated with civilian registrations but were allocated military serials in 1971. In 1978 the maintenance contract with Pützer expired and the aircraft were placed on the civil market.

Elster C
The Elster C was fitted with the more powerful 150 hp Lycoming O-320 engine and other modifications for use as a glider tug.

Callide Dam. The Callide Dam is an earth and rock-fill dam which was constructed in 1965 to supply water for the Callide Power Station in Mount Murchison near Biloela in the state of Queensland, Australia. The impoundment of the dam is Lake Callide, which holds  at an average depth of  and a surface area of  at full capacity.

History 
In 1988, gates were added to the spillway to increase the capacity of the dam in 1988. SunWater, the water supply and services company, has undertaken a multi-station upgrade program to ensure highest levels of safety for dams of their responsibility. The Callide spillway was scheduled to be upgraded in the 'medium-term' range from 2008. In 2021, the spillway gates were to be removed and serviced to address vibration during their operation. 

In February 2015, the radial spillway gates on the dam automatically opened as a result of heavy rain from Tropical Cyclone Marcia. Severe flooding resulted downstream from the dam. In May 2015, a class action lawsuit against the dam operator SunWater was launched by residents affected by the flooding. The class action was dropped in February 2016.

The dam's highest recorded level was 102.37% of capacity in March 2017 as a result of heavy rains from ex Tropical Cyclone Debbie.

Fishing
A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.
