Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors. The Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC) is a trade association for the plumbing and heating industry in England and Wales, representing around 1500 businesses employing some 60,000 specialist engineers ranging from those employed by large companies to sole traders working in domestic properties.

The APHC represented these specialists on the Specialist Engineering Contractors Group, a member of the Strategic Forum for Construction.

History
The APHC started in 1925 as the National Federation of Plumbers and Domestic Engineers, focused on industrial and commercial aspects of plumbing that had previously been managed by the Institute of Plumbers (today the CIPHE), which remained focused on education, training and technical matters.

It became the National Federation of Plumbers and Domestic Heating Engineers in 1965 to reflect the increased amount of members' work on heating systems. In 1972 it became an association: the National Association of Plumbing, Heating and Mechanical Services Contractors. It adopted its current name in 1996.

Dexel. The term Dexel has two common uses:
Dexel ("depth pixel") is a concept used for a discretized representation of functions defined on surfaces used in geometrical modeling and physical simulation, sometimes also referred to as multilevel Z-map. Dexel is a nodal value of a scalar or vector field on a meshed surface. Dexels are used in simulation of manufacturing processes (such as turning, milling or rapid prototyping), when workpiece surfaces are subject to modifications. It is practical to express the surface evolution by dexels especially when the surface evolution scale is very different from the structural finite element 3D model discretization step (e.g. in machining the depth of cut variation is often several orders of magnitude smaller (1–10 μm) than the FE model mesh step (1 mm)).

Dexel ("detector element") is the analog of a pixel ("picture element") but native to a detector rather than a visible picture.  That is, it describes the elements in a detector, which may be processed, combined, resampled, or otherwise mangled, before creating a picture.  As such, there may not be a one-to-one correspondence between the pixels in an image, and the dexels used to create that image.  For example, cameras labeled as "10-megapixel" can be used to create a 640x480 picture.  Using dexel terminology, the camera actually uses 10 million dexels to create a picture with 640x480 pixels.

Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering. The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) is the professional body for the plumbing and heating industry in the United Kingdom. It was founded as the Institute of Plumbers in 1906. It received a royal charter in 2008. It has 6,617 members.

History
The original Institute of Plumbers was established in 1906 to develop both industrial and technical aspects of the plumbing trade, but the industrial and commercial aspects were taken over by what is today known as the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC) in 1925. The Institute then concentrated on education, training and technical matters, becoming the Institute of Plumbing in 1957.

The Institute merged with the Registered Plumbers Association in January 1970, taking on management of the Register of Plumbers (created in 1886) on behalf of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers. In 1979, the Institute became a registered educational charity to protect the health and safety of the public through a strong qualified membership reinforced by their competency and technical expertise, and to create technical excellence so the public will receive the benefit of a protected environment and enhanced sustainability with improved safety and health.
 
In 2004, it became the Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering. Four years later, it was granted a royal charter, becoming the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering in July 2008.

In November 2019, the Institute of Domestic Heating and Environmental Engineering was amalgamated into the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering membership, creating a single professional body representing the UK plumbing and heating industry.

Membership
As at 31 December 2022, its membership comprises 6,617 individuals, including consultants, specifiers, designers, public health engineers, lecturers, trainers, trainees and practitioners.

As a professional engineering institute, members of the CIPHE are entitled to apply to register via the Engineering Council as Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Affiliations
The CIPHE is a member of the Construction Industry Council, the Engineering Council and Build UK. Through its CEO, the CIPHE is represented on the World Plumbing Council and the WaterSafe Approved Installers Scheme.

Zauner OZ-5 One-Yankee. The Zauner OZ-5 One-Yankee is an American high-wing, T-tailed, single seat, 15 metre class glider that was designed and constructed by Otto Zauner.

Design and development
Zauner designed a new fuselage and tail surfaces to mate with a set of Schreder RS-15 wings that he had built, producing a new aircraft.

The stock RS-15 wings of  span are built from foam and sheet aluminium and feature flaps and a Schreder 1 airfoil, which is a modified Wortmann section. The fuselage consists of a welded steel tube cockpit cage, surrounded by a fiberglass shell. The rear fuselage is tapered and is made from sheet aluminium, as are the tail surfaces. The fin is highly swept and mounts the tailplane and elevators in T-tail configuration. The wings are carefully faired into the fuselage using integral fuselage fillets. The landing gear is a retractable monowheel.

Only one OZ-5 was built and it was registered in 1974 with the Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Operational history
The designer completed two diamond badge legs in the OZ-5. As of July 2011 the aircraft remained on the FAA registry, still owned by Zauner.

Pictometry. Pictometry is a patented aerial survey technique for producing oblique georeferenced imagery showing the fronts and sides of buildings and locations on the ground. Photos are captured by low-flying airplanes, depicting up to 12 perspectives (shot from a 40-degree angle) as well as an orthogonal (overhead) view of every location flown. These perspectives are then stitched together to create composite aerial maps that may span many miles of terrain.
Because they are captured at an angle, the pixels in the resulting images are trapezoidal, rather than rectangular. This necessitates special software and algorithms to accurately determine objects’ size and position on the maps.

Uses
Pictometry imagery can be overlaid with various shapefiles and GIS information because every pixel is georeferenced to its exact location on the earth. This allows pictometry imagery to be integrated into many existing GIS software applications for use in many businesses, while creating a much richer database of the real world. Measurements that can be made directly on pictometry imagery include area, distance, height, elevation, pitch, and bearing, among others.
Pictometry imagery is used by federal, state and local governments for emergency response/9-1-1, GIS, planning and development, and assessment. Commercial industries including insurance, construction, utilities, and real estate utilize such imagery to streamline business activities.

Legal protection
Pictometry was invented by the Pictometry International Corporation, now EagleView Technologies. It is protected under US law, including Patent Ser. No. 60,425,275, filed Nov. 8, 2002, and licensed to companies across the globe

Jersey Bridge (Cherrytree Township, Pennsylvania). The Jersey Bridge is a one-lane, Pratt through truss bridge that spans Oil Creek in Cherrytree Township, Pennsylvania. It connects the city of Titusville to the Drake Well Museum and Oil Creek State Park. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It was replaced in 1998 with a newer bridge that used the superstructure of the old bridge.

History 

The Jersey Bridge was constructed in 1882 by the Morse Bridge Company, the predecessor to American Bridge Company.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) instituted a  weight limit for the bridge due to its deteriorating condition in 1979. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1988. The bridge was replaced in 1997 to meet safety requirements from PennDOT, as well as to allow tour buses heading to the nearby Drake Well Museum.

The replacement of the bridge, on the only route to and from museum, forced the museum to close on November 2, 1997. The museum was able to reopen in April 1998 after an agreement with the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad, which operates a train station at the museum, to transport tourists from Titusville to Drake Well. The refurbished Jersey Bridge was reopened on May 27, 1998.

Design 
After it was rebuilt in 1998, the refurbished Jersey Bridge utilized the original bridge's superstructure, though the actual loadbearing substructure is a common girder bridge. The superstructure remained a pin-connected, Pratt through truss bridge. The bridge is still one-lane, but has a pedestrian walkway on one side of the bridge outside the superstructure.

Porce III Dam. The Porce III Dam is an embankment dam on the Porce River  northeast of Medellín in Antioquia Department, Colombia. The dam was constructed between 2004 and 2011 for the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation.

Background
Between 1974 and 1976, hydrological studies were carried out on the Porce River and between 1982 and 1983, studies regarding the river's hydroelectric development were completed. The study recommended the five projects, Porce I, Porce II, Porce III, Porce IV and Ermitaño. In December 1984, the feasibility report for Porce III was submitted and complementary studies were carried out between 1986 and 1996. In 2002, the design and consultancy contracts were awarded along with the environmental license issued. In 2004, construction on the dam began and the river was diverted by 2007. By 2010, the dam began to impound the reservoir and was complete by 2010. Between 2011, all four generators were commissioned.

Design and operation
The Porce III Dam is a  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill type embankment dam. Its base width is about  and it has a fill volume of . The dam's spillway is a chute-type and is located on its left side. It is controlled by four radial gates and has a maximum discharge of . The reservoir created by the dam has a  capacity of which  is active capacity. The reservoir has a surface area of . The catchment area for the dam and reservoir is . A submerged intake on the reservoir's left bank conducts water to the power station initially via a  long and  diameter upper headrace tunnel. At the terminus of this short tunnel, the water drops  vertical shaft to the lower headrace tunnel which has the same diameter of the upper but is  long. At the end of the lower headrace, it converts into four penstocks to supply each of the underground power house's  Francis turbines with water. Once ejected from the power plant, it enters over  of tailrace tunneling and is returned to the Porce River.
