Spread Toolkit. The Spread Toolkit is a computer software package that provides a high performance group communication system that is resilient to faults across local and wide area networks. Spread functions as a unified message bus for distributed applications, and provides highly tuned application-level multicast, group communication, and point to point support. Spread services range from reliable messaging to fully ordered messages with delivery guarantees.

The toolkit consists of a messaging server, and client libraries for many software development environments, including C/C++ libraries (with and without thread support), a Java class to be used by applets or applications, and interfaces for Perl, Python, and Ruby.  Interfaces for many other software environments have been provided by third parties.

In typical operation, each computer in a cluster runs its own instance of the Spread server, and client applications connect locally to that server process.  The Spread servers, in turn, communicate with each other to pass messages to subscriber applications.  It can also be configured so that clients distributed across the network all communicate with a Spread server process on one host.

The Spread Toolkit is developed by Spread Concepts LLC, with much support by the Distributed Systems and Networks Lab (DSN) at Johns Hopkins University, and the Experimental Networked Systems Lab at George Washington University.

Partial funding was provided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and The National Security Agency (NSA).

Extension Language Kit. Extension Language Kit (ELK) is a free Scheme implementation which is embeddable in C and C++ programs, but can also be used as a stand-alone Scheme interpreter.  It is available under a custom permissive license for any use, commercial or noncommercial.

Elk was written by Oliver Laumann and Carsten Bormann to provide an Extension Language for the development of large C++-based systems such as the ODA document editor ISOTEXT and the videoconferencing system TELES.VISION.  It was inspired by the Lisp interpreter in Emacs and has in turn helped inspire developers of other dynamic language interpreters such as Matz' Ruby Interpreter.

In 2005 Sam Hocevar became the current maintainer of the Elk scheme project, merging contributed patches and fixing known bugs.
However, as of October 2024, the Elk webpage has been blanked, and Hocevar has not responded to queries about the status of the project or whether the site will be brought back.

Otto Roelen. Otto Roelen (22 March 1897 – 30 January 1993) was a German chemist who pioneered using carbon monoxide to synthesize of organic compounds.

Roelen was born in Mülheim, Germany and studied chemistry and graduated in 1922 from Technische Hochschule Stuttgart. He worked with Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Coal Research from 1922. He developed the homogeneously catalysed hydroformylation process (also known as "oxo synthesis") for the industrial synthesis of aldehydes from alkenes and carbon monoxide.

During the second world war he was chief chemist for Ruhrchemie. After the war he described the construction, operation and yields of oxo synthesis plants in detail to British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research interrogators.

Roelen was awarded the Adolf von Baeyer prize by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker in 1963. In his honor, DECHEMA named the Otto Roelen prize after him.

He died  in Bad Honnef, Germany, at the age of 95.

Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment. An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG or ITMG) is the outer layer of a space suit.  The TMG has three functions: to insulate the suit occupant and prevent heat loss, to shield the occupant from harmful solar radiation, and to protect the astronaut from micrometeoroids and other orbital debris, which could puncture the suit and depressurize it. (This latter function is provided for spacecraft by Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) Protection systems.)

The specific design of TMGs varies between different space agencies and different suits, though they all serve the same purpose.

A7L suit (Apollo/Skylab)

Outside a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment, pressure bladder, and restraint layer, the TMG for the A7L suit worn on the Moon and during the Skylab Program began with a layer of neoprene-coated nylon ripstop.  This was the innermost layer of protection from micrometeoroids.  Next, thermal radiation protection was provided by five layers of aluminized PET film (Mylar), alternating with four layers of nonwoven Dacron, which provided thermal spacing, followed by two layers of aluminized polyimide Kapton film and Beta cloth marquisette laminate. The outermost layer of PTFE (Teflon)-coated filament Beta cloth was non-flammable and provided abrasion protection from the notoriously abrasive lunar dust. This layer was supplemented with Teflon abrasion patches at the knees and other areas.

EMU suit (Space Shuttle/ISS)
The construction of the TMG on the EMU suits in use on the Space Shuttle and International Space Station differs somewhat from the construction of the Apollo/Skylab TMG.

The EMU TMG includes seven layers of aluminized Mylar laminated with Dacron, rather than five, and eliminates the use of Kapton.  The outermost layer is white Ortho-Fabric, made with a blend of Gore-Tex, Kevlar, and Nomex.  This layer can withstand temperatures from .  The outer layer provides both micrometeoroid and thermal protection, by reflecting most of the sun's thermal radiation.

Compatil. Compatil is a large typeface family designed for interchangeable fonts while maintaining identical document metrics.

History 
The Compatil typefaces were developed from 1999 to 2001 at Linotype Library GmbH. The name was derived from the word "compatible" and represents an intelligent and modular type system.

The project was led by Bruno Steinert, Managing Director of Linotype GmbH, Bad Homburg. Professor Olaf Leu and his analysis team at Mainz University of Applied Sciences. They composed an extensive range of requirements that Linotype Library’s team of experts incorporated into their new creation, extending and developing the concept as their work progressed. Silja Bilz and Professor Reinhard Haus were responsible for the project design and concept.

On 2004-12-07, Linotype announced Compatil 6.0, which introduced italic fonts for all families. The italic fonts have an 11-degree lean angle.

In 2005, the typeface families of Compatil were extended with the addition of true cursive typefaces.

Usages
The typeface is used in printing newspapers and financial reports.

It was used in 2002 Business-to-Business Awards.

Search appliance. A search appliance (SA) is a type of computer appliance which is attached to a corporate network for the purpose of indexing the content shared across that network in a way that is similar to a web search engine.

Architecture
A search appliance is usually made up of several components. These include a gathering component, a standardizing component, a data storage area, a search component, a user interface component, and a management interface component:
 The gathering component is usually a web crawler or file crawler that goes out on a network or the Internet and gathers files and data from specified locations. This might include SMB shared directories, NFS shared directories, databases, and web pages. The crawler might either copy files to the search appliance, or only copy the metadata about the file. 
 A standardizing component takes the data from the gathering component and transposes it into a standardized format for storage in the data storage component. It then places it in the data storage area. 
 The data storage component holds metadata about the files and might also contain copies of the actual file or data as well as the metadata about the file.
 The search component searches through the stored metadata from the files and provides the information to the search interface in the form of query results. It also can provide links to the copies of the files stored on the search appliance, or it can provide links to the original files in the source locations. 
 The search interface is the component where users compose their search queries. It provides instructions to the search component and displays query results to the user.
 The management interface lets administrators manage user accounts, permissions, adding and deleting search indexes, crawl job scheduling, and other relevant functions.

Samsung E&A. Samsung E&A Co., Ltd. (), formerly Samsung Engineering, is a Korean construction and project management (EPC&PM) company, it provides a full range of engineering services including feasibility studies, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.

It is included in the KOSPI 200, and as of 30 June 2021, the number of listed stocks is 196,000,000 shares, the capital is 980 billion KRW, and the market cap is 4.68 trillion KRW.

History 
Korea Engineering was founded in 1970 by the Korean government as the country's first engineering company. It was acquired by Samsung Group in 1978. During the 1970s and 80s, the Korean government prioritized the development of heavy and chemical industries and Korea Engineering was in charge of the design of projects such as the Korea National Oil Corp. refinery, the Namhae fertilizer plant and the Honam petrochemical plant.

Korea Engineering was renamed to Samsung Engineering in 1991. In 1993, the company was awarded its first overseas project, a natural gas separation plant in Thailand. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Samsung Engineering continued its international expansion and international projects now account for the majority of the company's business.

In the 2010s, Samsung Engineering expanded into new business areas including power plants and steel mills and at the same time took on complex billion-dollar projects in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The company was ill-prepared for the execution of these projects, leading to a 1.3 billion US dollar loss in 2015.

Robert Hallowell Richards. Robert Hallowell Richards (August 26, 1844 – March 27, 1945) was an American mining engineer, metallurgist, and educator, born at Gardiner, Maine.

In 1868, with the first class to leave the institution, he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and there he taught for 46 years, becoming professor of mineralogy and assaying in 1871, head of the department of mining engineering in 1873, and in 1884 professor also of metallurgy.  The laboratories which he established at the Institute were the first of their kind in the world. He retired in 1914.

Richards invented a jet aspirator for chemical and physical laboratories and a prism for stadia surveying.  But it was in the field of ore dressing that he became especially distinguished.  He determined the curves of material settling in water, thereby establishing the fundamental principles of sorting ore by means of jigs and other machines.  He invented separators for Lake Superior copper, Virginia iron, and three for ores of the Western United States.  Richards served as president of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in 1886.

He was author of more than 100 monographs and articles, but his most notable work is a monumental treatise, Ore Dressing (four volumes, 1903–09).  He published also a Text Book of Ore Dressing (1909).

Richards married Ellen Swallow Richards, the first woman graduate of MIT,  on June 4, 1875. They remained married until her death in 1911.  Richards married Lillian Jameson Richards (b.1866) on June 8, 1912, remaining married until her death on March 31, 1924.

PSI Comp 80. The PSI Comp 80 was a home computer sold by Powertran starting in 1979. It was sold in the form of a kit of parts for a cased single-board home computer system.

The system was based on a Z80 microprocessor addressing a mixture of 8 KB of system RAM and EPROM, plus 2 KB of video RAM.

It used a National Semiconductor MM57109N as a mathematical co-processor to speed up calculations.

History and specifications
In 1979, the British magazine Wireless World published the technical details for a "Scientific Computer". Shortly afterward the British firm Powertran used this design for their implementation, which they called the PSI Comp 80.

Ahead of its time, it incorporated a number crunching coprocessor and a novel language embedded in EPROM called Basic Using Reverse Polish - BURP.

The monochrome Video Display Controller could simultaneously display combinations of 32 lines of 64 characters, and 128 x 64 resolution graphics by either displaying a normal character or a "pseudo graphics" character, with pixel blocks in a 2x2 matrix. A technique similar to the one used in the TRS-80 - It could later be expanded to a higher resolution, although never to colour.

Add-ons were developed for the system, including memory expansions, floppy and hard disk interfaces, various software packages and a disk operating system, SCIDOS, which was CP/M-compatible but also included features - structured (pathed) disk folders, etc. - now very familiar to modern-day PC users.

During the mid-1980s, the designer of this system, John Adams M.SC., published a new version of the Scientific Computer - the SC84 (Scientific Computer of 1984). It was based upon a backplane and plug-in cards and modules and featuring a Hitachi HD64180 processor, up to 512 kbytes of RAM and a high-resolution colour graphics system.

Sukhoi Su-10. The Sukhoi Su-10 or Izdeliye Ye () was a Soviet turbojet-powered bomber aircraft built shortly after World War II.

Development
On 26 February 1946 OKB-134 was tasked  with developing and building a bomber powered by four Lyul'ka TR-1A or six RD-10 turbojet engines. Work began on 24 April 1946, with many different configurations studied before the design was frozen. 
Alternative powerplant arrangements were constantly studied and included:-

 4 x RD-10 (Jumo 004  copies)
 6 x RD-10 (Jumo 004  copies)
 4 x Lyul'ka TR-1
 4 x Lyul'ka TR-1A
 4 x Lyul'ka TR-2
 4 x RD-500 (Rolls-Royce Derwent copies)

The Su-10 was a multi-engined jet bomber with a crew of four comprising Pilot, Navigator/Bomb Aimer (usually the Commander of the aircraft), Gunner/Radio Operator, Gunner/Observer. Ejection seats were provided for the Pilot, Navigator and Radio Operator, the tail-gunner escaped after jettisoning the tail barbette.

The airframe was of all-metal semi-monocoque construction with flush-riveted stressed duralumin skinning and highly stressed parts made from high-strength steel. The cantilever shoulder-mounted wings were trapezoidal in plan-form with rounded wing-tips. Built in one piece, each wing was a two-spar structure with ribs and stressed duralumin skinning, using TsAGI Sh-2-12 airfoils at the root and SR-3-12 section at the tip. The tail unit comprised a 45-degree swept fin and un-swept tailplane at approx 2/3 fin span using TsAGI 1V-00 aerofoil sections. Ailerons and elevators were hydraulically boosted.

Mounted at approx half span, the engine nacelles were designed for minimum interference with the wing aerodynamics. The engines were arranged in vertically staggered pairs, with the lower engine completely clear of the leading edge, exhausting under the wing, whilst the upper engine nacelle carried over the wing, exhausting at approx half chord.

Construction of test rigs and a static test fuselage was carried out throughout 1947, and the final propulsion arrangement was settled by a Council of Ministers directive on 11 March 1947, calling for the development and construction of a medium bomber powered by four Lyul'ka TR-1A turbojets. To assist take-off the Su-10 could also use four U-5 JATO boosters fitted on the lower rear fuselage sides.

The first prototype was completed and ready for flight tests when the OKB was among many shut down at that time and all work stopped. The Su-10 was sent to the Moscow Aviation Institute for use as an instructional airframe.
