Bal Dixit. Bal Dixit founded Newtex in 1978 after being one of the first researchers to formulate a viable alternative to asbestos in fire safety gear. In 1977, he started work on developing a product he would later call Zetex in response to the impending asbestos ban. This product exhibits many of the properties of asbestos, without the side effects of lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Early life and education 
Dixit was born in the village of Katol in central India in 1938. After receiving his degree in Textile Technology from the University of Punjab, he emigrated to the United States in 1964, joining Union Carbide Corporation as an Advanced Technologist. At Union Carbide, Dixit helped develop carbon fiber for lightweight structural composites that were later incorporated in General Dynamics' F-111B fighter aircraft. Dixit earned his master's in Textile Technology from the University of Massachusetts in 1966 and soon after joined Garlock, where he was tasked with establishing a modern asbestos plant in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Dixit went on to earn an MBA from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1974.

His company 
In 1978, Dixit left Garlock to launch his own company, Newtex Industries, in Victor, New York. At Newtex, he developed Zetex fiberglass fabric, a safe and viable alternative to asbestos. By 1983, Newtex grew to $2.4 Million in sales.

Dixit led Newtex from the time he founded the company in 1978 until he stepped down to retire in 2006. At that time, Dixit's son-in-law, Jerry Joliet, took over as President and CEO.

The Dixit Fixit 

In 1980, just 2 days before the annual stockholders' meeting, a large fire caused extensive damage to the Newtex plant. The company was fully operational again 3 weeks after the fire. Newtex employees dubbed the impressive recovery as "The Dixit Fixit", and Dixit's perseverance after the fire was documented in two books by RIT business professor Andrew J. Dubrin, Getting it Done: The Transforming Power of Self-Discipline and The Inner Core of the Resilient Manager.

Community involvement 
In 1996, Dixit was appointed Director of the Federal Reserve Bank by Chairman Alan Greenspan. He served as Chairman of the Board of the Buffalo Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank for five years. He also served on the boards of the Rochester General Hospital and the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and has been a Rochester Institute of Technology Trustee.

In June 2018, the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute of Technology dedicated the Bal Dixit Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Fire Protection, made possible by a $2 Million gift from Dixit.

Recognition 
Dixit received the Herbert W. VandenBrul Entrepreneurial Award in 1992 and was inducted into the Rochester Business Hall of Fame in 2003.

Farrar V-1 Flying Wing. The Farrar V-1 Flying Wing is an American, single-seat, flying wing glider that was designed and constructed by Demetrius F. Farrar Jr. in 1962.

Design and development
The V-1 was an attempt to create a glider design based on the Northrop Corporation flying wing designs of the 1940s, such as the Northrop YB-49.

The aircraft is made from metal and wood, with doped aircraft fabric covering. Its  span wing employs a modified Northrop airfoil and tip-mounted ailerons, in the form of rotating wing tips, of  each. A single vertical stabilizer and rudder was mounted at the rear of the wing center trailing edge. The cockpit is located within the wing center section and the pilot flies in the prone position.

Only one V-1 was built and it was registered with the Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Operational history
In August 2011 the sole V-1 was still listed on the FAA aircraft register and still owned by the designer, 49 years after it was completed. The registration was cancelled after expiring and not being renewed on 20 May 2015. It is not known whether the aircraft still exists or not.

South West Interconnected System. The South West Interconnected System (SWIS) is an electricity grid in the southwestern part of Western Australia. It extends to the coast in the south and west, to Kalbarri in the north and Kalgoorlie in the east. It is not connected to the other large Australian grids. Other parts of the state are connected to independent, smaller grids, including the larger-scale North West Interconnected System and many smaller microgrids managed by Horizon Power.

The SWIS consists of both the South West Interconnected Network ("poles and wires") and its electricity generators. The South West Interconnected Network is operated by Western Power, owned by the Western Australian government, and includes over 7800 km of transmission lines, and over 93,000 km of distribution lines.

Some of the generators are owned by the government through Synergy and others are privately owned. Wholesale trade in electricity across the SWIS is managed by the Australian Energy Market Operator through the Wholesale Electricity Market (WA) which began operation on 21 September 2006. The majority of large-scale generation on the SWIS is coal-fired or gas-fired, with a small but increasing proportion coming from wind and solar. The Western Australian government has announced that the Synergy-owned coal-fired generation will shut down by 2030.

A 100MW/200MWh battery storage power station is (of July 2022) under construction for connection to the SWIS, and is expected to be completed by "the end of 2022".

Synergy is the monopoly electricity retailer for household and small business customers on the SWIS. Large-scale electricity users have a choice of 11 retailers.

36% of customers connected to the SWIS have grid-connected rooftop solar systems, with a total installed capacity of 1362 MW. The large amount of solar systems in the grid has meant that from February 2022, newly installed solar systems are required to have the capability to curtail output on rare occasions to maintain grid stability.

GKN Automotive. GKN Automotive is a multinational manufacturer of driveline components, all-wheel drive systems and plug-in hybrid systems for the automotive industry.  

It employs around 25,000 people across 47 manufacturing facilities and 6 technology centres in 19 countries. 

In 2018, Melrose Industries acquired GKN Ltd and renamed it GKN Automotive. This encompasses both the Driveline and ePowertrain divisions.

GKN Automotive became the world's largest producer of constant-velocity joints (CVJs), which it began manufacturing in the 1960s for early front-wheel drive cars. Its other products include sideshafts, propshafts, modular eDrive systems, multi-mode hybrid transmissions for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, torque vectoring systems for electric drivelines and a range of all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems.

History
GKN, originally known as Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds, first began in 1759 with the establishment of Dowlais Ironworks by Thomas Lewis and Isaac Wilkinson. In the early 19th century, the company was actively involved in the railway boom through its production of iron. This was followed by a shift to steel production in the 1860s. After World War I, GKN diversified into the automotive industry.

In 1966, after being advised GKN Steel would be nationalised for the second time, GKN  bought CVJ market leaders Birfield Industries with its subsidiaries Hardy Spicer and Laycock Engineering with their interests and subsidiaries in Europe, Japan and the United States to save its BRD subsidiary. This was the start of the company's globalization. GKN established a manufacturing presence in China in 1988. At the same time, GKN Driveline was investing in and growing its business in India, Brazil and Mexico.

ETSWAP. ETSWAP (Emissions Trading Scheme Workflow Automation Project) is the web-based system operated by the UK Environment Agency for emitters to manage, verify and report their emissions of Carbon Dioxide (and in the future, other Greenhouse Gases), as required by the EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading Scheme).
 
The structure and process of the ETSWAP system was outlined in a Mutual Understanding Document produced by the governments of the UK, Germany, Ireland and The Netherlands, which also dubbed the system "Workflow Automation Project" (WAP).
The application is designed to meet the new requirements of the EU ETS resulting from the  2008/101/CE Directive.

The system is designed to facilitate completion and submission of verified emissions and benchmarking reports, viewing of approved emissions/benchmarking plans for existing operators and submission of emissions plans for new operators.
As at July 2011, ETSWAP is configured for reporting of carbon emissions by the aviation sector and has been used by 600 aviation operators in the UK and 200 in the Republic of Ireland. The system is being expanded to cover emissions by fixed installations by 2012.

Westwood, Baillie. Westwood, Baillie and Co was a Victorian engineering and shipbuilding company based at London Yard in Cubitt Town, London.

The company was set up in 1856 by Robert Baillie and Joseph Westwood, previously managers of Ditchburn and Mares shipyard.

Partly as a result of a fall in demand due to the financial crisis of 1866, a period of financial stress and reorganisation resulted in Westwood and Baillie acting as managers for the London Engineering & Iron Shipbuilding Company Ltd, until they regained control in 1872.

For much of its life the company produced iron and steel work for bridges. In 1887 the company made the girders for the Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus River, then the longest rigid girder bridge in the world. Work on a more modest scale included a railway footbridge that can still be seen at Romford railway station, and the 1879 swing bridges over the Royal Albert Dock. The company also contributed towards the Attock Khurd Bridge, built in 1880, between what's now called Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa province and Pakistani Punjab. It's still in a great ship and is a major attraction for tourists and history lovers.

The company was wound up in 1893 and in 1895 Baillie was declared bankrupt. Joseph Westwood continued in business at Napier Yard as Joseph Westwood and Co. There is a large monument to him in Tower Hamlets Cemetery. The Railway footbridge at Wymondham, Norfolk was also built by the company.

London Yard was subsequently taken over by Yarrows.

Farrar LSG-1 Bird Flight Machine. The Farrar LSG-1 Bird Flight Machine is an American, high-wing, V-tailed, single-seat, experimental research glider that was designed and built by Demetrius F. Farrar Jr. in 1969 for exploring aspects of bird flight.

Design and development
The LSG-1 was specially designed by Farrar for research purposes as part of a Vanderbilt University project into how birds fly and was supported by  the US National Science Foundation. The aircraft's design goals included a stall speed of  and a 60-foot per minute (0.30 m/s) sink rate.

The aircraft is of mixed construction. The fuselage is made from a sandwich of balsa and fiberglass, while the wing is of wood and Kevlar, built on an aluminium spar. Its  span wing employs an unusual Wortmann FX 05-H-126 airfoil, which was originally designed for helicopter use. This airfoil section was chosen because it has zero pitching moment, which thus allows moderate torsional loads despite the resulting glider's relatively large wing area of . The LSG-1 has no glidepath control devices, such as dive brakes, making it a challenge to land. Despite its large wingspan the aircraft has a very low empty weight of , giving it a very low wing loading of 1.55 lb/sq ft (7.6 kg/m2).

Only one LSG-1 was built and it was registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Operational history
The aircraft was used to explore bird exploitation of microlift under supervision of Gary Osoba. In August 2011, 42 years after it was completed, the aircraft was still on the FAA aircraft register and still owned by the designer. Its registration expired and was cancelled on 29 April 2013 and it is unknown if the aircraft still exists or not.

Wilsons & Clyde Coal Co Ltd v English. Wilsons and Clyde Coal Ltd v English [1937] UKHL 2 is a UK labour law case concerning the employer's duty to provide a safe system of work for all its employees.

Facts
Mr English was employed at Wilsons & Clyde Coal Co Ltd's colliery at Glencraig from 27 March 1933. He was repairing an airway leading off the Mine Jigger Brae, a main haulage road. Between 1:30pm and 2pm he was going to the pit bottom and the haulage plant was put in motion. He tried to escape through one of the manholes, but was caught by a rake of hutches and crushed between it and the side of the road. His family claimed damages. The company claimed that Mr English's own negligence contributed to his death, because he should have told the person in charge of the machinery, or taken an alternative route

Judgment
House of Lords held unanimously that an employer has a non delegable duty to create a safe system of work. Even if an employer gives that duty to another person, they still remain accountable for workplace safety.

Lord Atkin said he concurred with the other Lordships, and particularly with opinions given by the ‘Lord President in this case, and by the Lord Justice-Clerk in Bain v Fife Coal Co on the English case of Fanton v Denville.

Lord Thankerton gave a longer judgment saying, ‘when a workman contracts to do work, he is not to be held as having agreed to hold the master immune from the latter’s liability for want of due care in the provision of a reasonably safe system of working.’

Lord Macmillan gave a short judgment concurring with Lord Thankerton, the Lord President in the present case and by Lord Justice-Clerk Aitchison.

Lord Wright gave a longer judgment.

Lord Maugham delivered a short concurring judgment.
