Bavarian B III. Bavarian B IIIs were steam locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).

Eight examples were delivered by Maffei in 1852; the remainder came from Hartmann. The machines by Hartmann had great similarity to those of the Class A IV, which were manufactured at the same time. Unlike the Hartmann engines, these locomotives also had a steam dome. This was later added to the Hartmann variants. All the engines had a Crampton boiler with smooth tubes and a Kirchweger condenser.

They were equipped with a 3 T 5 tender.

Bavarian B I. Bavarian B I engines were  steam locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).

The Class B I was developed in parallel with the Class A II, but had a coupled axle instead of a second carrying axle. As a result, it developed a higher tractive effort. It also had a Stephenson Long Boiler, forked frame and an outside Stephenson valve gear with outside cylinders. The coupling rods were based on an American prototype. Later many of the engines were fitted with a Crampton boiler.

They were coupled to 3 T 4.2, and later 3 T 5, tenders.

Kimura HK-1. 

The Kimura HK-1 was a glider built in Japan in 1939 to investigate the possibilities of tailless aircraft. It was a single-seat design with an open cockpit, swept wings, and a single tail fin. The HK-1 made a total of 169 test flights between 15 December 1939 and 7 March 1940, towed aloft behind a car.

By this time, the glider's success had attracted the attention of the Army, which arranged to purchase the aircraft. It was taken to the Tachikawa factory for testing, but crashed after only 13 flights, on 16 April 1940. The design proved sufficiently interesting for the Army to commission further research into the tailless concept, which would lead to the Kayaba Ku-2.

Franz Schneider (engineer). Franz Schneider was a Swiss engineer and aircraft designer. Although he designed several aircraft types, initially for the French aircraft manufacturer Nieuport, and later  for the German LVG company, he is chiefly remembered for his work in the field of aircraft armament.

Schneider was granted the first patent (on 15 July 1913) for an interrupter gear allowing a machine gun to fire between an aircraft's spinning propeller blades.  Full details of Schneider's patent were published in the aviation periodical Flugsport in September 1914 but the Prussian War Ministry chose not to pursue the idea. The concept of interrupter gear in combat aircraft was realised later in World War I by Germany after Anthony Fokker developed the idea.

He also developed the rotating gun turret which was installed on German "C" type World War I aircraft.

Ann Dancing. Ann Dancing is an artwork created in 2007 by Julian Opie (born 1958, London) an English artist and former trustee of the Tate.  The electronic sculpture is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was removed from its base on August 20, 2008, for repairs, and was returned on October 31 of that year.

Description
The sculpture consists of four rectilinear panels of light-emitting diode (LED) screens that each display the same animated image in orange of a woman on all four panels.  The woman, "Ann," is wearing a sheath dress and sways from side to side in a dancing motion.   Ann either has pointed feet or is wearing high-heeled shoes.  She appears to have no clear hairstyle.

History and location

The sculpture was installed at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Alabama Street, and  Vermont Street in Indianapolis from January to February, 2008. The sculpture is located directly in front of the Tavern at the Point (formerly Old Point Tavern) and was the first artwork installed on the Indianapolis Cultural Trail  at a total expense of $150,000.

The sculpture is visible in the Google Maps Street View, but only from the middle of the intersection

—Julian Opie, 2008.

IMKO-1. The IMKO-1 ( (ИМКО-1), , Individual micro computer) was the first Bulgarian personal computer, built in 1979 in Pravetz, Bulgaria. It was the first in the Pravetz series 8 range of computers. As the other computers in the series, it is an Apple II clone.

History
The development of the first Bulgarian microcomputer started back in 1979 at the Institute for Technical Cybernetics and Robotics ().

The prototype of the Pravetz computers were developed by engineer Ivan Vassilev Marangozov. IMKO-1 was a nearly identical clone of the original Apple II with a few minor exceptions - case, keyboard, character table (the lower case Latin alphabet was replaced with Cyrillic upper-case), as well as the power supply (early models used bulky and heavy linear power supplies). A few early models were produced at the ITKR (pronounced ee-teh-kah-reh, Institute of Technical Cybernetics and Robotics), a section of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Industrial production in Pravetz started shortly after.

The first working samples were manufactured in 1980. The abbreviation IMKO stands for "Individual Micro Computer". This model is an analogue of the Apple II Plus and only about 50 units were manufactured for testing purposes.

Features 
Start of production: 1980.
End of production: 1981.
CPU: MOS 6502, 1 MHz.
Memory (RAM): 48 KB (with the possibility to extend to 64 KB).
Memory (ROM): 12 KB.
Disk drive: No disk drives available, only a cassette player port.
Operating system: None.
Screen resolution: Text mode 40×24 (columns/rows), graphics mode 280×192 pixels - 6 colours,
280×160 pixels + 4 text rows, 40×40 pixels + 4 text rows, 40×48 pixels in 16 colours.
Variations: None.
Notes: Manufactured as an experimental model at the Institute for Cybernetics and Robotics 
at the Bulgarian Academy of Science. It was well accepted due to its low price for its time as well 
as due to its universal features and ease of use. It was first presented to the foreign audience in 
1981 at the symposium on robotics in England as part of the demonstration of a robot arm (ROBKO-01).At that time the robots in Japan and the USA were controlled by minicomputers, not microcomputers like IMKO-1 and this demonstration was a real success as the whole system cost tens of times less than the Japanese or American analogues. As all computers of the Pravetz series this model has hardware Cyrillic support, but because the keyboard was using 7 bits for transmitting the character codes the Cyrillic letters were overlapping the lower case Latin letters and it was only possible to type with upper-case Latin or Cyrillic letters.
Ports/slots: Cassette player port, 8 expansion slots. The zero slot was used for attaching extra memory up to the 64KB limit.
Manufacturer: ITCR - Sofia.
Price: N/A (never sold).

AN/APG-69. Emerson Electric's AN/APG-69 is an X band coherent pulse doppler radar originally designed for the F-20 Tigershark aircraft. It is the successor to the AN/APQ-159. Northrop skipped over the APG-69 for the F-20, choosing the General Electric AN/APG-67 instead. The APG-69 was still used by other F-5 operators, and other light fighter projects, including the ALR Piranha.

The APG-69 offered a complete suite of air-to-air and air-to-ground modes. The air-to-air modes included velocity search for long-range wide-angle searches, track-while-scan, single target track and dogfight modes that automatically locked onto the closest target. The APG-69 was capable of guiding the AIM-7 Sparrow missile, making it the first of Emerson's offerings to reach production with beyond visual range capabilities. The air-to-ground modes included moving target search and track, and sea-surface-search modes.

ETen Chinese System. ETen Chinese System (倚天中文系統) was the most popular DOS-compatible traditional Chinese operating system before Chinese Windows 95.

DOS did not support Chinese characters, which are not in Extended ASCII. Many companies in Taiwan developed their own IBM PC compatible traditional Chinese operating system running on DOS, which were mutually incompatible between the OS, such as Kuo Chiao (國喬) and Acer. 

The developer of the Eten OS, E-TEN, earned their early profits from sales of their hardware based plug-in card based Chinese system products. Their software (only) Chinese systems were widely copied by many traditional Chinese users and software pirates, but this was difficult for E-TEN to control. Most traditional Chinese products were compatible with the Eten OS at that time.

When Microsoft developed the Chinese Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, traditional Chinese software developer and users shifted to Windows from DOS. The last version of the Eten OS was a Chinese Windows-compatible version. The Eten and other traditional Chinese OS are now used in a few DOS based POS systems.

Julius Mackerle. Julius Mackerle (18 June 1909 – 11 September 1988) was a Czech inventor and automobile engineer.

Life
Julius Mackerle was born in Jevíčko, Austria-Hungary in 1909. His father, Julius, owned a brick works firm in Jevíčko and his brother Jaroslav Mackerle (1913–1964) was an architect, designer and amateur archeologist. Julius Mackerle was an inventor, automobile engineer and head designer of Tatra Kopřivnice, a specialist on air-cooled engines. He studied at the Technical University in Brno where he constructed his first motorcar–a two-seater sport roadster with 1000cc J. A. Prestwich Industries motorcycle engine. He finished his studies in 1935.

Initially he worked at Škoda Plzeň as a head of motor engine department and then he transferred to the Prague branch of Škoda. In 1948, he started to work for Tatra in Kopřivnice, where he designed engines for Tatra trucks T 128 and 138. In 1949, under his leadership an engine for a racing Tatraplan T607 and T607-2 with ejector cooling system was developed. In the early 1950s, Mackerle designed the concept for the Tatra T603 V8 engine.

In 1958, Mackerle worked as a director of engine design at Ústav pro výzkum motorových vozidel (Institute for Research and Development of Automobiles) where he designed an experimental car Rotoped. He lectured at Technical Universities in Prague, Brno and Bratislava. In 1962 in London he received the Herbert Akroyd Stuart Prize given by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

Between 1964 and 1970, Mackerle invented Rotoped Walking Wheel.

Mackerle was an author of a number of books and articles.

Shinya Kimura. Shinya Kimura is a Japanese born custom motorcycle builder. He founded Zero Engineering in 1992 and Chabott Engineering in 2002. He is the originator of the "zero style" custom bike.

Biography

Zero Engineering
Kimura founded Zero Engineering in Okazaki Japan in 1992. Initially his shop was named Repair Shop Chabo but the name was changed the following year to Zero Engineering. He soon gained a reputation for his minimalistic and vintage looking bikes that combine form and function. His name was soon synonymous with what people often refer to as Zero-style. A Zero-style bike is typically based around a rigid "gooseneck" frame, a pre-1984 Harley Davidson engine, springer front end, spoked wheels and often includes parts of the bike remaining in bare metal. The inspiration came from wabi sabi (austere refinement) and the beauty of the raw materials and incorporating the essence of wa (harmony) into his designs. Kimura and his crew were also known for putting their work to the test by participating in different vintage race series with their motorcycles.

In 2002 Kimura expanded his business by opening an office in Las Vegas, Nevada,
where he in 2005 built his entry the Biker Build-Off against Joe Martin from the Martin Brothers. Other bikes were built in 10 days in front of a film crew, the riders then met up in Las Vegas and rode to Palm Springs, California where a popular vote was held which Joe Martin won.

Kimura left Zero Engineering to launch his own studio named Chabott Engineering. Meanwhile, Zero Engineering is still in Japan and Las Vegas and have to this date created more than 200 custom bikes, including the new line of production bikes built in their facility in Las Vegas. At this time their line includes models based on Harley Davidson's Shovelhead and Evolution engine with two models based on the Sportster being released in the future. Recently two of the company's bikes were used in the 2008 film Iron Man.

Chabott Engineering
In 2006 Kimura set up his own shop named Chabott Engineering in Azusa, California to build both custom bikes as well as moving himself toward the world of art.

Kimura said, "Since setting up in America, I've moved from being just a custom-bike builder to slightly changing my direction a little more toward the world of art. I don't know whether success or failure is awaiting me in the future. Can custom bikes become art? Maybe we'll know in 10 years' time."

Along with fellow bike builders Jesse James, Ian Barry and Billy Lane, Kimura was among the first custom bike builders to receive an invitation to the Legend of the Motorcycle - Concours d'Elegance exhibition.

In 2010, Kimura and Chabott Engineering were the subject of a documentary short by film maker Henrik Hansen, which was one of five documentaries to be nominated for a 2010 Vimeo documentary award.

Attarat Power Plant. Attarat Power Plant is an oil shale-fueled power plant constructed in the Attarat Umm Ghudran area,  east of Al Qatranah, in Jordan.  The project is developed by the Attarat Power Company (APCO), a partnership between YTL Power International (45%), Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. (45%) and Eesti Energia (10%). It is the first oil shale power plant in Jordan and the largest private sector project in Jordan to date.

History
The project was originally developed by an Estonian power company Eesti Energia (Enefit). The concession agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and National Electricity Power Company of Jordan, and Eesti Energia was signed on 30 April 2008.  In 2010,  YTL Power International bought a 30% stake in the project.

A 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed with Jordan in October 2014. The construction agreement was signed on 12 January 2016. The financial closure agreement was signed on 16 March 2017.  At the same time, YTL Power International increased its stake in the project up to 45% and Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. became a new shareholder also with 45% stake. Construction started shortly after.

Technical description
The power plant has 554 MW (gross) and 477 MW (net) capacity. It will consist of two circulating-fluidized-bed units.

The power plant consumes 10 million tons of oil shale per year which will be provided from the nearby open-pit mine and it is also the biggest mine in Jordan. Over its 40-year lifetime it would need an oil-shale mining area of approximately .

The plant is among the largest power plants in Jordan (the largest being Aqaba Thermal Power Station), and the largest oil shale-fired power plant in the world after Narva Power Plants in Estonia.

Financing
The project costed US$2.1 billion.  Shareholders will invest $528 million and the rest will be financed by $1.6 billion loan provided by the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and guaranteed by China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation. This is the largest private project financing supported by China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation to date.

Construction
The plant is designed by WorleyParsons. The engineering, procurement and construction contract was awarded to Guangdong Power Engineering Corporation, a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Group. The power plant would be designed by WorleyParsons. It would use boilers provided by Foster Wheeler, and the turbine and generator by Siemens.
