John Edye. John Edye FRS (7 August 1789 – 1 March 1873) was a naval architect and Assistant Surveyor of the Royal Navy in the early 19th century.  He invented a new means of construction for wooden warships and produced the detail for the Surveyor William Symonds's many designs.  Together he and Symonds created larger and larger wooden warships for the Royal Navy, which were able not only to defeat an enemy by weight of fire (as the Navy had long been able to do) but also to pursue them and force battle.

Edye was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 5 February 1835.

Alexander Mikhailov (information scientist). Alexander Ivanovich Mikhailov (; 6 December 1905, Zemetchino – 6 February 1988, Moscow) was a Soviet and Russian engineer and information scientist. He was one of the most influential thinkers related to the field of information science in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc.

Biography 
Mikhailov graduated in 1931 in mechanical engineering from the Mendeleev Institute and had a successful career in plane and aircraft engineering in the 1930s and 1940s. At the beginning of the 1950s, he participated in the creation and development of VINITI, an institute devoted to the study and practice of Scientific Information in Russia. The institute opened in 1952, and Mikhailov became director from October 1956 until his death.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, Mikhailov had considerable participation in the International Federation for Information and Documentation, became two times vice-director of the institute (1969 to 1976 - 1981 to 1988), coordinating the Study Committee Research on Theoretical Basis of Information, or FID/RI and became the editor-in-chief of the institute periodical, International Forum for Information and Documentation, between 1975 and 1988.

In the 1960s, he developed, with other authors, the concept of Informatics (Informatika in Russian), related to the study, organization and the dissemination of scientific information. His principal works in this field are the books Fundamentals of Scientific Information (1965), Fundamentals Of Informatics (1968) and Scientific Communications and Informatics (1976), all of them written with  and .

Greenlee. Greenlee is an American industrial and electrical tool company headquartered in Rockford, Illinois. It was founded in 1862 by twin brothers Robert L. and Ralph S. Greenlee to manufacture their invention called a hollow chisel mortiser, consisting of a drill surrounded by four chisel blades used in making mortises (the hole) for mortise and tenon joints, for the furniture industry in Rockford. While no longer produced by Greenlee, hollow chisel mortisers are still used in cabinetmaking today from a variety of other manufacturer. The brothers later diversified into a variety of hand woodworking tools as well as machinery for making wooden barrels.

 

The company was acquired by Detroit-based Ex-Cell-O Corporation in 1969. Industrial conglomerate Textron acquired Greenlee as part of its acquisition of Ex-Cell-O and its subsidiaries in 1986. Greenlee purchased Fairmont Hydraulics in 1992 and German tool manufacturer Klauke in 1996. Greenlee expanded into data/telecommunications equipment with the acquisition of several companies in 1999 and 2000 which now fall under the Greenlee Communications brand. Greenlee expanded its DIY offering with the addition of Paladin Tools on December 17, 2007. In 2008, Greenlee acquired Utilux. In 2013, Sherman + Reilly, and HD Electric joined the Greenlee family of Utility brands. The Greenlee brothers were inspired into industrial work by their father who was a cooper. Their contributions to the railroad industry included an automatic tie and track laying and drilling machine that rolled right along behind on the track it had just laid.

On April 18, 2018, Textron announced that it planned to sell its Greenlee brand to Emerson within 90 days. Greenlee is listed as a subsidiary and/or affiliate of Emerson Electric Co. as of September 30, 2019.

Saab 36. 

The Saab 36 (also known as Projekt 1300) was a cancelled Swedish supersonic bomber planned by Saab AB during the 1950s. The aircraft was intended to be able to carry an 800 kg free-falling nuclear weapon, but the Swedish nuclear weapons program was cancelled in the 1960s; the plans for the bomber had been cancelled in 1957.  The Saab 36 was to be fitted with delta wings, as was the Saab 35 Draken fighter. The engine was to be a version of the British Bristol Olympus turbojet, the same engine powering the Avro Vulcan jet bomber.

Pomilio BVL-12. The Pomilio BVL-12 was an American experimental single-engine biplane bomber built by the United States Army Engineering Division to the design of Ottorino Pomilio for the United States Army Air Corps after World War I.

Powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) Liberty V12, it would seat two. It featured an equal-span wing, the lower of the pair attached to the fuselage by struts, unique in the United States, rather than directly, which was more usual.  Performance proved disappointing, and only six trial models were built.

Charles A. Morris. Charles A. Morris (1853 - March 8, 1914) was a Bloomfield, New Jersey engineer who owned his own dredging firm in New Jersey in the 1880s. Born in 1853, Morris came from a family of engineers and inventors. He invented a sliding bucket used for loading ships and other shipping devices. He helped the pioneering inventor  John Philip Holland gain acceptance of his craft within the United States naval community. Mr. Morris was a good friend of the inventor and helped him out during a time when Holland was in financial trouble prior to the acceptance of The United States Navy's first commissioned submarine, . Morris served as the shipyard superintending engineer on the submarine project from 1896 to 1897. The pioneering submarine was purchased by the United States Government on 11 April 1900.

Pont Saint-Louis. The pont Saint-Louis () is a pedestrian bridge across the River Seine in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.  It links the Île de la Cité with the Île Saint-Louis.  It is served by the Cité stop of the Paris Metro.

History 

The present bridge is the seventh to link the two islands since 1630.  The pont Saint-Landry (1630–1634) was the first of  these.

In 1717 a wooden bridge was rebuilt, with seven arches, and named the "Pont Rouge", due to the colour in which it was painted. It was destroyed in 1795. In 1804, under the direction of the engineer Dumoustier, a new two-arch bridge was built, 70 m long and 10 m wide, and mainly in oak. It was demolished in 1811, and a suspension bridge replaced it in 1842. Twenty years later, this was replaced by a metallic bridge, with a single arch with a 64 m opening. In 1939, this one was demolished.  In 1941, it was replaced by a passerelle resembling an iron cage. In 1968, the present bridge was begun, and inaugurated in 1970.

Channelization (roads). Channelization is a traffic engineering concept that employs the use of secondary roads, slip lane to separate certain flows of traffic from the main traffic lanes. The method came into favor in the United States in the 1950s. One of the most effective and efficient methods of controlling the traffic on a highway is the adoption of high intersection geometric design standards.

Channelization is an integral part of at-grade intersections to separate turning movements from through movements that are considered advisable. That helps greatly to reduce the intensity and frequency of loss of life and property from crashes. Proper channelization increases capacity, improves safety, provides maximum convenience, and instils driver confidence. Improper channelization has the opposite effects and may be worse than none at all.

Over-channelization should be avoided because it could create confusion and worsen operations. Channelization of at-grade intersections is the separation or regulation of conflicting traffic movements into definite paths of travel by the use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other suitable means to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of both vehicles and pedestrians.

Patrick N. Keating. Dr. Patrick N. Keating was a theoretical physicist who contributed to several fields of solid-state physics, including semiconductors, semi-insulators and the basic properties of solid materials, and to other fields including optics, liquid crystals, acoustic holography, and signal processing. He was best known for the Keating Model of interatomic forces in tetrahedrally-coordinated solids (P. N. Keating, Effect of Invariance Requirements On The Elastic Strain Energy of Crystals, With Application to the Diamond Structure, Phys. Rev. 145, 637 (1966), which was determined to be one of the 50 highest-impact papers over a century of Physical Review publications ).

Dr. Keating was born in England and educated as a physicist there (University of Nottingham) and in the United States (University of Michigan, 1969). He served as Director and General Manager of both the Advanced Technology Center and the Microelectronics Center of Allied-Signal Corporation (now part of Honeywell Inc.), and lived in Maryland, Florida, and Delaware with his wife of 30 years, Julie Scott Keating. He had two married daughters, Clare and Fiona. Keating was an enthusiastic tennis player, golfer, sailor, and aviator, and held an FAA pilot's license. He died in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, on 21 January 2019.

In addition to his contributions to the science of Physics, Dr. Keating's research interests included Climate Science, and a research paper in that field was published in the International Journal of Climatology.

Flettner airplane. A Flettner airplane is a type of rotor airplane which uses a Flettner rotor to provide lift. The rotor comprises a spinning cylinder with circular end plates and, in an aircraft, spins about a spanwise horizontal axis. When the aircraft moves forward, the Magnus effect creates lift.

Anton Flettner, after whom the rotor is named, used it successfully as the sails of a rotor ship. He also suggested its use as a wing for a rotor airplane.

The Butler Ames Aerocycle was built in 1910 and tested aboard a warship. There is no record of it having flown.

The Plymouth A-A-2004 was built for Zaparka in 1930 by three anonymous American inventors. It was reported to have made successful flights over Long Island Sound.

An inherent safety concern is that if power to the rotating drums were lost—even if thrust was maintained—the aircraft would lose its ability to generate lift as the drum slowed and it would not be able to sustain flight.
