SavaJe. SavaJe Technologies (pronounced savage) was the developer of the SavaJe OS, a Java OS for advanced mobile phones.
The SavaJe OS was a monolithic OS-and-Java platform, an implementation of Sun Microsystems' Java Standard Edition, as opposed to
the more limited Micro Edition usually offered on mobile phones.  The SavaJe Java platform included a full implementation of Java Swing,
enabling developers to create applications with richer user interfaces.

At the 2006 JavaOne conference, their Jasper S20 phone was the "Device of Show".

In April 2007 Sun Microsystems announced their intention to buy the intellectual property assets of SavaJe, these assets were used in the now defunct JavaFX Mobile product, which was unrelated to the JavaFX UI technology released by Oracle.

In August 2010, Oracle sued Google for infringement of Java-related copyrights and patents. In September 2010, the Mass High Tech Journal reported that the inspiration of Android technology has strong ties to the creation and development of the SavaJe platform.

William Baker (engineer). William Baker (19 May 1817 – 20 December 1878) was an English railway engineer.

Between 1834 and 1839 Baker was articled to George W. Buck and then worked on the London and Birmingham Railway between London and Tring.  From 1837 he worked with Buck on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway.  He later became engineer of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway while also working on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Shropshire Union Railways.  He became engineer of the Stour Valley Railway and was then appointed as engineer of the Southern Division of the London and North Western Railway.

He was a consulting engineer in the construction of the 1862 International Exhibition building.

Following the death of Robert Stephenson he was appointed chief engineer of the London and North Western Railway Company.  He wholly constructed, or remodelled and extended, the stations of the company in London, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as the stations in Birmingham, Preston, Bolton, Crewe, Warrington and Stafford.  He constructed a new harbour at Holyhead and was responsible for designing and overseeing the building of the Runcorn Railway Bridge.  Baker was designer and engineer of the Battersea Railway Bridge.  He also acted as consulting engineer to the West London Extension Railway and the North London Railway, and in Ireland he built the Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway and the North Wall Extension Railways.  He was elected MICE in 1848.

Saint-Pierre, Firminy. Saint-Pierre () is a concrete building in the commune of Firminy, France. The last major work of  Le Corbusier, it was started in 1973 and completed in 2006, forty-one years after his death.

History
Designed to be a church in the model city of Firminy Vert, the construction of Saint-Pierre was begun in 1971, six years after Le Corbusier's death in 1965. 

Due to local political conflicts it remained stalled from 1975 to 2003, when the local government declared the mouldering concrete ruin an "architectural heritage" and financed its completion. The building was completed by the French architect José Oubrerie, Le Corbusier's student for many years.

It has been used for many different purposes, as a secondary school and as a shelter.  As the secularist French state may not use public funds for religious buildings, Saint-Pierre is now used as a cultural venue.

Impact on architecture
In the World Architecture Survey of 2010, by Vanity Fair magazine, the building was ranked as second in the rankings of the top structures built in the twenty-first century, receiving four votes. American deconstructionist architect Peter Eisenman asserted in his response that this building is the most important structure built since 1980.

Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus. Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus, also known as K-State Salina, is a branch campus of Kansas State University, and the home of the University's College of Technology and Aviation. It is located in Salina, Kansas, United States.

History

Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus and the College of Technology and Aviation were established in 1991 as a result of the merger of the Kansas Technical Institute with Kansas State University.  It offers degree programs in the fields of engineering technology and aviation, consisting of associate and bachelor's degrees as well as a Professional Master of Technology program. Approximately 1,000 students are enrolled at the Salina campus. About 85 percent of the student body comes from Kansas and 80 percent attends on a full-time basis. Students are not required to live on campus but do have the option of living in one of two suite-style residence halls. Classes are small; first-year English and speech courses are limited to 25 students. Engineering technology and aviation maintenance students begin hands-on classes their first semester and pilot students begin flying as early as the first week of school. Campus facilities include laboratories for student projects and three runways adjacent to campus.

After merging with Kansas State University, the campus was originally called Kansas State University - Salina Campus. On October 14, 2015, the Kansas Board of Regents approved changing the campus's name to Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus. On August 26, 2021, the university announced that the campus would again be renamed, to Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus.

Overview
The college's technology management degree allows students from all 19 community colleges in Kansas to transfer their credit hours from an associate degree as a core area of study and build on that knowledge with classes in management and business to complete a bachelor's degree. Other degree programs offered on the K-State Salina campus include family studies and human services - both a general option and a personal financial planning option, as well as social work and a professional master of technology.

The Machine That Changed the World (book). The Machine That Changed the World is a 1990 book about automobile production, written by James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and Daniel Roos.

It is the result of five-years research by the International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), aimed at finding success factors in the global automobile industry.

The book traces the history of "craft" and "mass" production methods, and notes how Toyota found flaws and wastage with these systems, eventually developing lean production. The dissemination of lean methods from Japan to the wider world is discussed.

This book made the term lean production known worldwide, and is described as a classic or a "mainstay". Business Week described it as "the most readable book on the changes reshaping manufacturing".

A revised edition was published in 2007.

Transit bolt. Transit bolts are a type of bolt used to secure part of a mechanical appliance during transit. They are typically  in length, although any size is possible as it depends on the type of device being transported.

The most common example of transit bolts is the securing of the drum of a washing machine while it is transported from shop to property (or property to property). The drum of a washing machine is weighted and would damage the electronic internals if it were to swing into them while being transported.

Failing to remove transit bolts before using the machine can also damage the machine.

Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit!. Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! is a 1994 2D platform game, based off the sitcom of the same name, developed by Imagineering and published by Absolute Entertainment for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.  A Sega Genesis version was planned but never released.

Development 
Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! was published by Absolute Entertainment, which Disney hired to produce the game after it completed another game based on a Disney property, Goofy's Hysterical History Tour (1993). It was presented at the 1994 winter Consumer Electronics Show.

Critical reception 

Reviews at the time were generally mixed-to-positive. GamePro gave Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! a mixed review, calling it "like Pitfall with power tools". They commented that the game plays well and is easy to pick up on, has solid graphics, but features mediocre music, and concluded that it would be fun for side-scrolling fans and enthusiasts of the TV show, but is not challenging enough for hardcore players. Mike Weigand of Electronic Gaming Monthly called it "an intriguing action title, with some cool weapons and excellent graphics". Less favorable towards the game was Entertainment Weekly, which was turned off by the concept of Tim Allen fighting enemies like dinosaurs and "alien beasties"; and Nintendo Power, claiming that despite its "fun worlds" and many type of attacks, it suffered from "awkward" controls", "poor placement of objects" that artificially increased the difficulty, absence of humor from the TV series, and the fact that the "gameplay never rises above standard jumping, shooting and the collecting of items". The sitcom adaptation's concept of Tim Allen fighting through fantastical enemies such as mummies, dinosaurs and robots led it to appear on several all-time lists of weirdest video games, such as those of PC Magazine and Rolling Stone, in later years.

Apple Paladin. The Paladin was a conceptual combination of a computer, fax machine, scanner, and telephone all-in-one designed by Apple Computer as a single office solution for a small business, as well as for use in hotel rooms for business travelers. It also went under the code name "Project X" during 1995.

It had a monochrome LCD screen and a phone handset attached to it (which fell off its hook too readily). Very few were prototyped and they are a rare find.
The system ran software called "Complete Office", which allowed the change between fax, phone, and PC all with the press of a button on the keypad. It also allowed for the user dial without needing to switch through multiple manual software protocols. By 1995 the engineers who had worked on the customized version of the OS were no longer working on the project making stability a major impediment.

Substantial conceptual work was done by the product design firm IDEO.

Sink strainer. In plumbing, a sink strainer is a type of perforated metal sieve or mesh strainer used to strain or filter out solid debris in the water system. Different varieties are used in residential premises and for industrial or commercial applications. Such strainer elements are generally made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Household use

In houses, sink strainers are often used as drain covers in sinks, showers and bathtubs.

Water lines or kitchen systems can get gravel, deposits that break free, and other stray items in the line. Due to the velocity of the water pushing them, they can severely damage or clog devices installed in the flow stream of the water line, for example p-traps or pipes. A strainer is essentially a screen installed to allow water to pass through, but not larger items. The larger items fall to the bottom or are held in a basket for later clean out. They normally have an access that allows for them to be cleaned or have the strainer plate or basket replaced.

Strainers come in several different styles based on the needs. A plate strainer is the simplest, in which water flows through a perforated plate. Often the plate is corrugated shape to increase surface area. A basket strainer is a design where the strainer is shaped like a basket and usually installed in a vertical system. The basket strainer is easier to clean, since debris is captured in the basket. It can also sometimes offer more straining surface area than a plate strainer, improving flow rates, or decreasing pressure loss through the strainer.

They can be made of stainless steel AISI 304, 202 etc.

VMware Server. VMware Server (formerly VMware GSX Server) is a discontinued free-of-charge virtualization-software server suite developed and supplied by VMware, Inc.

VMware Server has fewer features than VMware ESX, software available for purchase, but can create, edit, and play virtual machines. It uses a client–server model, allowing remote access to virtual machines, at the cost of some graphical performance (and 3D support). It can run virtual machines created by other VMware products and by Microsoft Virtual PC.

VMware Server can preserve and revert to a single snapshot copy of each separate virtual machine within the VMware Server environment. The software does not have a specific interface for cloning virtual machines, unlike VMware Workstation.

VMware Server has largely been replaced by the "Shared Virtual Machines" feature, introduced in VMware Workstation 8.0 and onwards.

Naming
The former name GSX Server allegedly stands for Ground Storm X, an early code name for the project.

Versions

VMware Server 1.0
VMware released version 1.0 of Server on July 12, 2006, replacing the discontinued VMware GSX Server product-line. VMware Inc continued to develop the VMware Server 1.0.x series, issuing a maintenance release (version 1.0.10) on 26 October 2009.

VMware Server 2.0
VMware Server 2 runs on several server-class host operating systems,
including different versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2000, 2003, and 2008, and mainly enterprise-class Linuxes. The manual explicitly states: "you must use a Windows server operating system".  The product also runs on Windows 7 Enterprise Edition.

Server 2 uses a web-based user-interface, the "VMware Infrastructure Web Access", instead of a GUI. For web interfaces, VMware Server 2 and VMware vCenter 4 use the Tomcat 6 web server, while VMware vCenter 2.5 is based on Tomcat 2.5.

As part of the product, the VMware Host Agent service (also carried over to VMware Workstation Server until today) allows remote access to VMware Server functionality.

VMware server 2 supports the Microsoft Shadow Copy service. (Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 also supports Shadow Copy.) Virtual machines that support this service can be backed up without stopping.

VMware Server was discontinued in January 2010; general support ended on June 30, 2011.

Turret board. In electronics, turret boards were an early attempt at making circuits that were relatively rugged, producible, and serviceable in the days before printed circuit boards (PCBs). As this method was somewhat more expensive than conventional "point-to-point" wiring techniques, it was generally found in the more expensive components, such as professional, commercial, and military audio and test equipment. This is similar to cordwood construction.

Turret boards consist of a thin (generally 1/8 inch) piece of insulating material drilled in pattern to match the electronic layout of a set of components. Each hole drilled will have a metal post (the turret) positioned in it. Electronic components are suspended between these turrets and soldered to them to create a complete circuit layout.

Most of the military electronics used in WWII made use of this construction method, and Altec professional gear of similar vintage has the same construction. However, the underside of some turret boards, such as a consumer Zenith 1A10 console radio, circa 1940, consists of an array of electronics components that are simply suspended, rather than tethered or soldered down, and thus could move unexpectedly. Such construction methods tended to keep the neighborhood radio repairman in work. In general, however, the use of turrets and turret boards dramatically improved reliability and serviceability.

Turret boards additionally allowed some degree of "engineered" construction. That is, an engineer could design a turret board with listed component interconnects such that it could be assembled by someone skilled in component recognition and soldering. A schematic was unnecessary for assembly.

Until reliable high-temperature printed circuit boards were developed, turret board construction was considered the best available technology. Currently, the use of turret boards is limited to hand-wired vacuum tube electronics (be it commercial or hobby), often as an attempt to replicate a classic design or design approach. Popular DIY components utilizing this approach include reproduction vintage guitar amplifiers and certain professional studio components from the 1960s, such as the classic and still widely used Teletronix LA2A tube compressor. In general, however, due to the expense and time-consuming nature of turret board construction methods, experimental or test-stage electronics projects generally make use of one of the many types of perfboard available, while final circuits—both hobby and commercial—use printed circuit boards.
