Luten arch. A Luten arch is a patented concrete arch design for bridges, designed by Daniel B. Luten, of Indianapolis.  Luten was awarded more than 30 patents for his improvements of the Luten arch design.

The Luten arch improves upon preceding concrete arch designs by strategic use of reinforcement where needed to address tension of load upon the bridge.  This enables bridges to be considerably lighter.

The Luten Bridge Company was one seller of the designs.  The Topeka Bridge & Iron Co. was a western seller of the designs.  

According to Luten, by 1919 he had designed more than 17,000 Luten arch bridges, and there were examples in all but three US states.

Cetrimide agar. Cetrimide agar is a type of agar used for the selective isolation of the gram-negative bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As the name suggests, it contains cetrimide, which is the selective agent against alternate microbial flora. Cetrimide also enhances the production of Pseudomonas pigments such as pyocyanin and pyoverdine, which show a characteristic blue-green and yellow-green colour, respectively.

Cetrimide agar is widely used in
the examination of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and clinical
specimens to test for the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

DrQueue. DrQueue is an open source software tool used to manage a render farm. It provides distributed render queueing on a per-frame basis and management of these tasks. It is primarily used for animations used as visual effects in films and advertising.

Overview
The application is composed of three main tools: master, slave and drqman.

A task in DrQueue is composed of multiple jobs all of which require a script which is distributed to the slave nodes of the cluster by the master. The master acts as a central server, where all tasks are stored. The slave software is run on each node in the cluster and it reports its status back to the master periodically.

drqman is the GUI used to control jobs. Typical tasks are to reprioritize jobs, stop them, restart specific frames, change frames to be rendered and so on. It has direct control of Maya, Mental Ray, Blender, XSI, Lightwave, Mantra (in Houdini), Turtle (Illuminate Labs), BMRT, Shake, After Effects, Aqsis, Nuke, Terragen, 3Delight, and Pixie

There is also a small python web service called DrKeewee that allows you to check the status of the queue using a web browser.

Script generators
Drqueue comes with a number of script generators for render applications as well as support for general batch processing applications. It also has bindings for python as well as (in beta) bindings for Ruby

Script generators exist for,

 Blender
 Maya
 3ds Max (formerly 3D Studio MAX)
 StudioTools

Supported platforms
DrQueue supports any mix of Linux, Mac OS X, Irix, FreeBSD and Windows with no restrictions on architecture.

Shanan Power House. Shanan Power House (commissioned in 1932 ) is situated 2 km from Jogindernagar in Himachal Pradesh, India. It is the first hydroelectric power project of India in megawatt capacity. British Engineer Colonel B.C. Batty and his team in collaboration with the then ruler of Joginder Nagar region, Raja Karan Sen, designed and created it. The Shanan Power house is currently under the control of Punjab State Electricity Board and whole of the revenue goes to Punjab government. It is to be handed over to the Himachal Pradesh Government in 2024 after the completion of a 99-year lease.

Design 
The project utilizes the hydroelectric potential between Uhl river at Barot and Jogindernagar that are separated by a crow fly distance of  7.3 km (4.5 miles) across a mountain range.  Barot is at an elevation of 1829 m (6001 ft) while Shanon power house is at an elevation of 1283 m (4212 ft)  ft.  The water conductor system consists of a diversion dam at Barot, a tunnel and penstocks. The three penstocks include the two original 1.397 m dia and the third added for increased capacity in 1982 which is 1.83 m dia.  The water from the power house discharges into Neri Khad in the River Beas catchment area.

Construction
British Engineer Colonel B.C. Batty wanted to construct five hydro-electric power stations by utilizing the water of Uhl river. To bring men and material for work to this place, a railway line was built from Pathankot to Joginder Nagar. To deliver construction material to the hill top for making a water reservoir at Barot, a funicular trolley way system was created there.

The plan was to use the water for five power projects, but could not be completed due to the death of Mr. Batty, and it was stopped with only three power stations, the other being Bassi Power Station. A recently activated plant is Chullah powerstation having a reservoir at Machiyal.

The original turbines were 4 x 12 MW. In March 1982, the Punjab Government upgraded the original turbines to 4 x 15 MW and added a 50 MW turbine for a total capacity of 110 MW. Turbines are from Ganz mavag, Hungary.

LISREL. LISREL (linear structural relations) is a proprietary statistical software package used in structural equation modeling (SEM) for manifest and latent variables. It requires a "fairly high level of statistical sophistication".

History
LISREL was developed in the 1970s by Karl Jöreskog, then a scientist at Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey, and Dag Sörbom, later both professors of Uppsala University in Sweden. The most current version is LISREL 11 and can be downloaded from https://ssicentral.com/index.php/products/lisrel/.

Command language, graphical user interface and delivery
LISREL is mainly syntax-based, although recent versions have featured a graphical user interface (GUI).

SSI (Scientific Software International) has recently changed from e-Academy to a "home-built" solution for distributing the rental (6- or 12-month) versions of their software.

Opalite. Opalite is a trade name for synthetic opalescent glass and various opal and moonstone simulants. Other names for this glass product include argenon, sea opal, opal moonstone, and other similar names. It is also used to promote impure varieties of variously colored common opal.

Natural opalite (as opposed to the man-made opalite) shares the same basic chemical properties as opal. It is made of tiny spheres of silicon dioxide, which stack onto each other in a pyramid grid shape. This grid is what allows the cat's-eye effect to be displayed when the stone is cut into a ball.

When opalite glass is placed against a dark background, it appears to have a blue color.  When placed against a light background, it is milky white with an orange or pink glow. Since it is glass, it may sometimes contain air bubbles, an after-effect of the forming process.

Usages

Opalite is mainly used as a decorative stone and is usually sold either tumble polished or carved into decorative objects. Some sellers will sell opalite as opal or moonstone.

HTM Skytrac. The HTM Skytrac (originally known as the Wagner Skytrac) was a light utility helicopter developed in Germany in the 1960s and 70s. A later four-seat version was known as the Skyrider. Despite achieving certification from the German aviation authorities and firm orders from customers, the Skytrac was never produced in series.

Design and development
Development commenced in the mid-1960s as an offshoot of the Wagner firm's attempts to develop a roadable helicopter, and utilised the same coaxial dynamic components that had been developed for that project. The Skytrac featured a narrow single-seat cabin at one end of a box-like "keel" structure, a horizontally mounted Franklin flat-6 engine at the other end, and the transmission and rotor mast between them. The pilot's seat was enclosed by a sliding, bubble canopy. The prototype flew in this form in July 1965, and it was exhibited and flown at the 1966 Hannover Air Show.

The Skytrac 1 was followed by a second machine with pontoons and a V-tail at the end of a boom for improved directional control. The third prototype had three seats in a more conventional cabin structure, and was fitted with spray bars and chemical tanks for demonstration of the type's potential as an agricultural machine. Certification of the design was achieved in 1969.

In 1971, the newly formed Helikopter Technik München (HTM) took over the manufacture and marketing of the Skytrac, announcing in mid-1972 that a production line was being established at Jesenwang with the intention of producing 35 machines by the end of 1973, all of which had found buyers. After this initial batch, HTM planned to sell licences to produce the design in batches of 30 machines each. None of this was to come to pass, however, as HTM was unable to finance the production of the first batch of aircraft.

The final development was the Skyrider, which enclosed the Skytrac into a full fuselage with seating for four. Mockups of this configuration were displayed at the Hanover and Cannes airshows in 1972. A prototype was exhibited at the June 1973 Paris Air Show and flown in February 1974. It was possible to convert the basic Skytrac into a Skyrider in a matter of only a few hours' work. By the following year, however, HTM was out of business, and no further examples of their helicopter designs were ever constructed.

Since 1992, all the rights for production and design of the Skytrac and Skyrider helicopters are owned by Peter Chrobak. In 2014, Chrobak sold all of the designs and rights of production to a Chinese manufacturer Guangdong Elecpro Electric Appliance Holding Co., Ltd. for a total of 2.52 million Euros, and based on the technology purchased, the Chinese manufacturer not only produced the original manned version, but also developed its own RU series unmanned versions.

LWD Żuraw. The LWD Żuraw was a Polish utility and liaison aircraft prototype of 1951, a high-wing monoplane with single engine, that did not enter production. The name means crane.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed in 1949 by the LWD (Lotnicze Warsztaty Doświadczalne⁣ – Aircraft Experimental Workshops) as a utility and liaison aircraft for the Polish Air Force. The chief designer was Tadeusz Sołtyk. It was the last LWD design. A prototype first flew on 16 May 1951 (pilot Antoni Szymański). Because of a shortage of more powerful engines, it was fitted with the only available license-built Soviet radial Shvetsov M-11FR (118 kW, 160 hp). In addition to increased airframe weight (it was 160 kg heavier, than expected), the engine appeared too weak.

To obtain STOL capabilities, the wings had slats and flaps. The wings were thinner near the canopy to obtain a good view, and they were slightly swept forward. Despite advantages, like short takeoff and landing and low stall speed, the performance was poor and the plane was not ordered for production. It was considered to use more powerful WN-3 or Ivchenko AI-14 engines, but the design was abandoned, because Poland had bought a license to produce the Yakovlev Yak-12M.

An unusual feature was the triple tail, with two small vertical stabilizers in addition to a main central one. It was meant to improve aircraft stability at high angles of attack.

Usage
The prototype was painted in Polish Air Force colours and markings, but was not used by the Polish Air Force. In 1951, it was passed to the Aviation Institute (Instytut Lotnictwa) to obtain certification of approval, and next it was used there for a couple of years. In 1952, it was given a civilian registration, SP-GLB. The prototype was withdrawn from use in 1960 and in 1963 given to the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków, where it remains in a damaged condition.

Hurel-Dubois HD.10. The Hurel-Dubois HD.10 was a French research aircraft first flown in 1948 to investigate Maurice Hurel's ideas about high aspect ratio wings. It was a single-seat monoplane with a retractable tricycle undercarriage and twin tails, featuring a very high aspect-ratio wing of 32.5:1. This was mounted above the aircraft's enclosed cockpit and braced with struts. Construction was of metal throughout. Between 1948 and 1954, this aircraft accumulated some 218 hours and 27 minutes of flight time and is now preserved in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Paris.

Design and development
The French aircraft designer Maurice Hurel set up the Société des Avions Hurel-Dubois, with the industrialist Léon-Joseph Dubois, in November 1947, to develop Hurel's theories about the use of high aspect ratio wings. To demonstrate the practicality of these ideas, Hurel designed a single-engined prototype, the HD.10, with construction entrusted to the Établissements Pierre Levasseur. 

The HD.10 was a high-winged tractor configuration monoplane with the metal wing braced by single lift struts to the fuselage. Fowler flaps were fitted to the wing. The fuselage was of fabric-covered steel tube construction with the pilot sitting in an enclosed cockpit under the trailing edge of the wing. A twin tail was fitted, and the aircraft had a manually actuated retractable tricycle landing gear. The aircraft was initially powered by a  Mathis engine.

The aircraft made its first flight, with Hurel at the controls, on 25 August 1948. The aircraft was underpowered with the Mathis, and it was re-engined with a  Praga D. Testing at the Centre d'Essais en Vol resulted in the aircraft's vertical tail surfaces being enlarged. It made its final flight on 20 June 1954, having completed more than 218 flight hours. It was then delivered to the Musée de l'Air at Paris–Le Bourget Airport for preservation and display.

Anandite. Anandite is a rare phyllosilicate with formula . It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system. It is black in color with a glassy luster and a near perfect cleavage.

It was first described in 1967 for an occurrence in the Wilagedera Prospect of the North Western Province of Sri Lanka in bands of iron ore.  It has also been found in Big Creek in Fresno County and in Trumball Peak in Mariposa County, California as well as the Sterling Mine in New Jersey.  It was named for Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (1877–1947), who was the director of the Mineral Survey of Ceylon, Sri Lanka at that time.

Anandite is a member of the mica group of minerals.  Other minerals that anandite is associated with include: magnetite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and baryte.

Hawk GAFHawk. The Hawk GafHawk ("General Aviation Freighter") was a small, turboprop-powered freighter aircraft developed in the United States in the 1980s but which only flew in prototype form. It was designed by Hawk International as a means of transporting drilling equipment in and out of remote locations, and was designed to be simple, rugged, and have good STOL and rough-field performance. The resulting design was a boxy aircraft with a rectangular-section fuselage with a high-set tail and rear loading ramp. The high aspect-ratio wings were high-set and braced with struts. The landing gear was fixed and of tricycle configuration, with the main units having dual wheels.

Certification proved elusive, however, and Hawk eventually abandoned the project without building any other examples.

Hoffmann H40. The Hoffmann H40 was a prototype sport aircraft built in Germany in 1988. Designed by Wolf Hoffmann based on his Dimona motor-glider, it was a conventional, low-wing monoplane with side-by-side seating for two and tricycle undercarriage. The aircraft's high aspect ratio wings and T-tail were carried over from its motorglider heritage, but the span was shorter than that of the Dimona. Construction throughout was of composite materials. Hoffmann intended this aircraft to compete with sporting two-seaters such as the Grob G 115 and Robin ATL, but was unable to find the financial backing to bring the aircraft to market, despite a 30% share bought in the project by German pump manufacturer ABS.
