Young Engineers Sportscar. Yes! (Young Engineers Sportscar; stylized as YES!) was a brand of high-performance sports cars manufactured by Funke & Will AG in Germany.

History 
Herbert Funke & Philipp Will first designed the YES! sports car in their diploma thesis while attending Cologne University of Applied Sciences. The exterior design was developed by Oliver Schweizer. The first prototype was shown off at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2001 as the YES! Clubsport. Starting in 2001, the YES! models were handmade in a restored hangar at the Großenhain airport.

In February 2009, Funke & Will AG filed for bankruptcy, which led to the liquidation of the company in April of that year. Marco Kunz, who was one of the first owners of the YES! Roadster 3.2, bought the assets of Yes! and founded YES! Beteiligungs- und Besitzgesellschaft mbH. Replacement parts were produced and plans to restart production of the second generation YES! Roadster were made. However, these plans did not come to fruition.

Models 
Three models were produced by Yes!, starting in 2001.

Clubsport 

The first model produced was the YES! Clubsport. This is the road version of the prototype shown in 2001. It featured a 1.8 liter turbocharged inline 4 from Volkswagen producing 281.6 brake horsepower built on an aluminum space frame. The Clubsport was discontinued in 2006, being replaced with the second generation YES! Roadster.

Roadster

First generation (2003–2006) 

The Roadster was introduced in 2003 at the Geneva International Motor Show. It features "comfort features", such as central door locking, not present on the Clubsport model, and is therefore heavier than the Clubsport.

Second generation (2006–2009) 

The second generation was introduced in 2006. It is larger than its predecessors, featuring a 3.2L V6 from Audi, either being naturally aspirated or turbocharged, rather than the inline 4 used in the previous models. All automatic models feature the naturally aspirated version while the manual could be ordered with either the naturally aspirated or turbocharged variants.

Cup/R 

The Cup/R was introduced in 2003 as a track-only version of the Roadster. Many components have been stripped out to reduce it's weight, such as the doors. It also featured a more powerful engine, which now produced 340 brake horsepower.

HMS Orion (1879). HMS Orion was a  of the Victorian Royal Navy. Originally constructed for the Ottoman Empire, and called Bourdjou-Zaffer, she was purchased by the British Government before completion.

She was designed by the Ottoman naval architect Ahmed Pasha and built by Samuda Brothers at Cubitt Town, London under contract for the Ottoman Empire. However, in 1878 she was purchased by the British Government whilst still under construction, in a reaction to the war between the Ottoman Empire and Russia. Her sister, , which was purchased at the same time in an essentially complete state, was modified so as to fit in, as far as possible, with contemporary design in the Royal Navy. Orion, being less advanced in construction at the time of her purchase, was ultimately completed along the same lines.

Her original design called for four 10-inch muzzle-loading rifles in a centrally located box battery, but this plan was upgraded to four  guns during her building. She, and Belleisle were the only British ships ever to mount 12-inch calibre artillery deployed to fire only on the broadside. It was possible, because of the provision of appropriate embrasures in the battery, to bring at least one gun to bear at any angle; proponents of the turret system of armament pointed out that in the turret system two, or possibly four guns could be made to bear on the same target.

Service history
She was commissioned to the Mediterranean Fleet on 24 June 1878. After paying off into the Reserve at Malta in 1883 she was recommissioned in 1885, and served as guardship at Singapore until 1890, when she was demoted to the second class reserve at Malta. After refit and repair she remained in dockyard reserve at Chatham until declared non-effective in January 1902. Three months later, in April 1902, she became a depot-ship at Malta for torpedo-boats, Captain Charles Madden in command. In 1913 she was converted to a store-ship at Devonport under the name of Orontes until her sale in 1913.

Wright R-1300 Cyclone 7. The Wright R-1300 Cyclone 7 is an American air-cooled seven-cylinder supercharged radial aircraft engine produced by Curtiss-Wright.

Design and development 

The R-1300 is basically a single row Wright R-2600. The engine was mass-produced but not widely used. Engineering began in 1942 but the first flight of an R-1300 did not take place until 1949. The engine was produced under license by Kaiser-Frazer and later by AVCO Lycoming.

The engine was used in combat — the R-1300-1A and -1B in the A model North American T-28 Trojan and the R-1300-3, -3A, -3C and -3D in the Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw. The R-1300-1B was used to power the Ayres Thrush. The R-1300-4 and -4A were used in the N class blimp; 50 of these variants were produced by AVCO.

Early-production engines had vibration problems, an improved lateral dampener in the crank brought about most of the model changes.

Variants

GrassMaster. GrassMaster is a hybrid grass sports playing field surface composed of natural grass combined with artificial fibres. The method was developed and patented by Desso Sports from the Netherlands in 1993. This hybrid grass system is now marketed and further developed by Tarkett Sports after a takeover of Desso Sports and has since been re-branded as GrassMaster.

Technology 

GrassMaster reinforces a natural grass pitch by vertically inserting 20 million polypropylene (PP) fibres into the soil equally spread over the entire playing field. The  long PP fibres are injected by computer-controlled machines,  deep so  remains above the surface. The PP fibres are inserted in a grid of about . The grass roots entwine with the fibres and grow deeper and wider. The PP fibres above the surface are designed to ensure an even and stable surface. GrassMaster may be installed before seeding, after seeding or on grass sods.

JAR-FCL (Pilot License). The JAR-FCL is the Joint Aviation Requirements Flight Crew License, an international designation of member states pilots' (and other related aviation) licenses. The Private Pilot License is abbreviated as JAR PPL.

Authority
The licenses are granted by each member state signatory to the international treaty establishing air law between nations. The treaty establishes the international law agreements between signatories, including agreements about certifying and passing of equipment and crew between the airspace of different nations.

Countries are free to establish laws for operation within their boundaries. When international operations occur, the member states' local laws are expected to align with the international agreement. The JAR-FCL is one such case of this alignment. If a nation grants a JAR-FCL, the license fits a common criterion such that it is honored in all member states.

Deviations in the implementation
In some European Union states there are deviations to the JAR (Joint Aviation Requirements) Medical fitness criteria.

Marked graph. A marked graph is a Petri net in which every place has exactly one incoming arc, and exactly one outgoing arc. This means, that there can not be conflict, but there can be concurrency. Mathematically: . Marked graphs are used mostly to mathematically represent concurrently running operations, such as a multiprocessor machine's internal process state.  This class of Petri nets gets the name from a popular way of representing them: as a graph where each place is an edge and each transition is a node.

Uses
Marked graphs are mainly used to mathematically represent concurrent mechanisms, in order to be able to mathematically derive certain characteristics of the design.

Example
 
This example presents a Marked Graph, where a process is forked at transition T1 and synchronised at T4. In between, two operations take place in non-deterministic fashion, T2 and T3. In fact, Petri nets are so much non-deterministic, that they may not take place at all. But the reason for having this non-deterministic property is not this, but to mimic real-life experiences which shows that parallel computing always means that it is impossible to determine which process/thread will finish first i.e. which operation(s) will execute faster. This can be due to waiting for I/O in real world, or just the different parameters given to the processes/threads.

Panasonic Avionics Corporation. Panasonic Avionics Corporation (PAC) designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and installs customized in-flight entertainment and communications devices to airlines worldwide. It is a subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation of North America, the principal North American subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation, and operates under the umbrella of the Panasonic Connect group. Panasonic Avionics Corporation was founded in 1979 as Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation and changed its name in 2005. It is headquartered in Irvine, California and has major business functions in Bothell, WA.

Clients
PAC is a supplier of in-flight entertainment equipment, including music, video on demand (movies and television shows), in-flight shopping, phone service, email, video games, and GPS flight location display. PAC supplies equipment to Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier.  Competitors in the IFE market include Thales Group, Rockwell Collins, Safran/Zodiac In-Flight Innovations and LiveTV.

In late 2009, Lufthansa announced that starting mid-2010 they will re-launch their 'FlyNet' service with Panasonic Avionics' satellite-based broadband technology offering passengers in-flight Internet and cellphone connections. Lufthansa will make use of their existing onboard hardware that had been installed in 2003 by Connexion by Boeing, the now defunct provider of the airline's previous onboard connectivity system.

Operations
The product engineering and development departments are located in Irvine, CA; program management, certification, system installation engineering and quality are located in Bothell, Washington, and manufacturing is performed in Osaka, Japan. Other offices and repair facilities are located worldwide, with major offices in Toulouse, Hamburg, London, Dallas, Dubai and Singapore.

Panasonic Avionics Corporation is AS9100, ISO 14001, and ISO 27000 certified.

Technology 

In 2017, Panasonic Avionics decided to cancel planned investment in geostationary satellites, in the wake of development in low Earth orbit satellite constellations. This decision could be due to potential future competition from the Starlink and OneWeb satellite constellations. One of the key technical differences is that low Earth orbit satellites provide shorter latencies, because the signal doesn't have to travel 35,786 km (22,236 mi) back and forth to the geostationary orbit.

Controversy

In March 2013, it was reported that American authorities were investigating the subsidiary for bribery. In February 2017, Panasonic said that PAC was being investigated by the DOJ and the SEC under the FCPA. In December 2018, the former CEO and CFO of the company settled with the SEC and agreed to pay a total of $280 million to the Department of Justice and the SEC.
