Call-recording software. Call recording software records telephone conversations over PSTN or VoIP in a digital audio file format. Call recording is distinct from call logging and tracking, which record details about the call but not the conversation; however, software may include both recording and logging functionality.

Considerations
Call recording is becoming increasingly important, with technology changing and working habits becoming more mobile. Addressing mobile recording is now the subject of many financial regulators' recommendations. It is also increasingly important to business continuity planning,  especially for pandemic planning.

The actual recording takes place on a recording system with software for the management of calls and security of recordings. Most call recording software applications rely on an analogue signal via either a call recording adapter or a telephony board.

Digital lines cannot be recorded unless the call recording system can capture and decode the proprietary digital signalling, which some modern systems can. Sometimes a method is supplied with a digital private branch exchange (PBX) that can process the proprietary signal (usually a conversion box) before being channeled to a computer for recording. Alternatively a hardware adapter can be used on a telephone handset as the digital signal is converted at that point to analogue.

VoIP Recording is usually restricted to streaming media recorders or software developed by the softphone or IP PBX creator. There are also solutions which use packet capture technology to passively record VoIP phone calls on the LAN.

Hardware is required to make the voice signal available to the computer equipment. Some of today's call recording software is sold as a turn-key solution with hardware.

Direct recording of mobile phone calls requires a hardware adapter connected to the handset. There are many other ways to record mobile phone calls. One approach is to route calls via a new PBX system linked to the recorder. However, such systems are typically expensive to purchase and change the way that calls are made, incurring running costs. Another approach links directly into existing recording systems from a PDA phone. Both of these approaches allow recordings to be timestamped, often required for legal reasons. Recording directly onto mobile devices does provide a legally valid recording in many countries.

Surface computer. A surface computer is a computer that interacts with the user through the surface of an ordinary object, rather than through a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or other physical hardware.

The term "surface computer" was first adopted by Microsoft for its PixelSense (codenamed Milan) interactive platform, which was publicly announced on 30 May 2007. Featuring a horizontally-mounted 30-inch display in a coffee table-like enclosure, users can interact with the machine's graphical user interface by touching or dragging their fingertips and other physical objects such as paintbrushes across the screen, or by setting real-world items tagged with special bar-code labels on top of it. As an example, uploading digital files only requires each object (e.g. a Bluetooth-enabled digital camera) to be placed on the unit's display. The resulting pictures can then be moved across the screen, or their sizes and orientation can be adjusted as well.

PixelSense's internal hardware includes a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory, an off the shelf graphics card, a scratch-proof spill-proof surface, a DLP projector, and five infrared cameras to detect touch, unlike the iPhone, which uses a capacitive display. These expensive components resulted in a price tag of between $12,500 to $15,000 for the hardware.

The first PixelSense units were used as information kiosks in the Harrah's family of casinos. Other customers were T-Mobile, for comparing several cell phones side by side, and Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, to service lobby customers in numerous ways. These products were originally branded as "Microsoft Surface", but was renamed "Microsoft PixelSense" on June 18, 2012, after the manufacturer adopted the "Surface" name for its new series of tablet PCs.

Halberstadt CL.IV. The Halberstadt CL.IV is a German ground attack aircraft of World War I.

Design and development
Karl Thies, chief designer of the Halberstädter Flugzeugwerke, G.m.b.H., designed the CL.IV as a replacement for the CL.II. As the CL.II had proven to be particularly effective in the ground support role, the focus of an improved version was to create a specific ground attack aircraft.

The new CL.IV featured a shorter, strengthened fuselage and a horizontal stabilizer of greater span and higher aspect ratio than that of the CL.II. These changes, along with a one-piece, horn-balanced elevator, gave the CL.IV much greater maneuverability than its predecessor. After tests were completed of the prototype in April 1918, at least 450 were ordered from Halberstadt, and an additional 250 aircraft from a subcontractor, LFG (Roland), as Halberstadt CL.IV(Rol).

Operational history
The Halberstadt CL.IV was one of the most effective ground attack aircraft of World War I, relying on its good maneuverability to avoid ground fire. It appeared on the Western Front towards the end of the German offensives in 1918. Flights of four to six aircraft flew close support missions, at an altitude of less than one hundred feet, suppressing enemy infantry and artillery fire just ahead of the advancing German troops. After these late German offensives stalled, Halberstadt CL.IVs were used to disrupt advancing Allied offensives by striking at enemy troop assembly points and night sorties were also made against Allied airfields.

Towards the end of the war, on bright, moonlit nights, CL.IV squadrons attempted to intercept and destroy Allied bombers as they returned from their missions.

In 1921, the newly established German airline Luftverkehr Paul Strähle operated three CL.IVs, converted to carry two passengers, operating them on services between Stuttgart and Konstanz, adding a route between Stuttgart and Nuremberg in 1922. They remained in use until 1923.

USNS Amelia Earhart. USNS Amelia Earhart (T-AKE-6), a Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for noted American aviation pioneer and women's rights advocate Amelia Earhart (1897–1937). The contract to build the ship was awarded to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) of San Diego, California, on 27 January 2004. Her keel was laid down at the end of May 2007 at General Dynamics' NASSCO shipyard.  In early 2007, Alex Mandel along with members of the Amelia Earhart Society (AES) and Amelia Earhart Research Association (AERA) successfully petitioned the naming of the ship.

On 26 July 2007 one of the ship's four 200-ton diesel-electric engines toppled from a truck delivering it to the shipyard in the 2700 block of Harbor Drive, San Diego.  The engine damaged three vehicles, completely flattening one. A woman sleeping in the back of a van whose front-end was destroyed suffered minor injuries.  The accident also created an  sink-hole in the roadway and ruptured a water main. The accident is believed to have been caused when the truck accidentally delivered the engine to the wrong gate of the shipyard and hit the curb while backing up in an attempt to turn around.  The engine was recovered on 29 July by three heavy cranes.

At 9 p.m. 6 April 2008, a ceremony was held to christen the Amelia Earhart, with the honors of breaking the traditional bottle of champagne given to Amelia Earhart's closest living relative, niece Amy Kleppner. Ms. Kleppner is also sister-in-law of physicist Daniel Kleppner, whose wife Beatrice and daughter Sofie participated as Matrons of Honor. The new ship is designed to deliver ammunition, food, fuel and other dry cargo to US and allied warships at sea. It will be crewed by 124 civil service mariners and, at times, will include an additional complement of naval personnel and carry two helicopters.

On 20 November 2014 the Amelia Earhart collided with the USNS Walter S. Diehl in the Gulf of Aden.

J. T. Harvey. J. T. (Jack) Harvey was General Manager of Operations of the Toronto Transportation Commission from 1977 until 1980.

Harvey graduated in 1944 with a B.A.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering. In 1946 following service in World War II where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant with the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Harvey joined the Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC) as a Junior Engineer in the Electrical Section (Engineering) on power and distribution projects, most notably the trolley overhead infrastructure for the new trolley coach system which opened in 1947. He became Senior Assistant Engineer in 1949, Senior Engineer in 1950, Assistant Electrical Engineer in 1952, during which period he worked on the Yonge Subway.  In 1959, he was appointed Chief Design Engineer of the Subway Construction branch. In 1961 he was appointed Assistant Chief Engineer, and in 1962 became Chief Engineer - Subway Construction.  He held this position until 1973, when he was appointed General Manager - Subway Construction following the retirement of W. H. (Pat) Paterson.

In 1977, Harvey was appointed General Manager - Operations, and joined W.E.P. Duncan as one of two people to hold both General Manager positions at the TTC to that time.  Harvey retired in August 1980 after 34 years with the TTC.  He was retained as a consultant to the Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) on the Hamilton Intermediate Capacity Transit System. (This project was later known as GO-ALRT and was never completed as originally envisioned).

During his career with the TTC, Harvey was active in several professional engineering organisations including the Engineering Institute of Canada, the Canadian Society of Electrical Engineers, and the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario.

Avro Type F. The Avro Type F was an early single seat British aircraft from Avro.  On 1 May 1912 it became the first aircraft in the world to fly with a completely enclosed cabin for the pilot as an integral part of the design.

Design and development
It was a wire-braced mid-wing monoplane  with a tailskid undercarriage. The fuselage  was teardrop-shaped with flat sides and cellon windows. Oil leakage from the engine had been anticipated to obscure pilot view by coating cabin windows; so two circular windows at the pilot's head level could be opened for the pilot's head to protrude when flying, but their use proved unnecessary. Ingress and egress was via a sheet-aluminum trapdoor in the fuselage top. The cabin was quite cramped, being only 2 ft (60 cm) across at its widest point.

The Type F made a few test flights in mid-1912 until damaged beyond repair in a hard landing on 13 September, after which it was not repaired. Its Viale 35 hp engine is on display at the Science Museum in London; and the rudder was preserved by the Royal Aero Club.

A replica, BAPC.328. is displayed at the Avro Heritage Museum in Woodford, Greater Manchester.

Spirito Mario Viale. Spirito Mario Viale (born 7 February 1882) was an Italian engineer. He was born in Turin, but did most of his important work in France and (in particular) the UK. He was an early manufacturer of aircraft engines, producing a series of 3-, 5-, and 7-cylinder radials from a workshop in Boulogne-sur-Seine from 1910 until the outbreak of World War I.

In 1919, he emigrated to the United Kingdom, where he went to work for Armstrong Siddeley before returning to Italy in the early 1930s to pursue landscape painting and worked with Isotta Fraschini for a time.

The rise of fascism drove him back to England, where he found work as chief designer of Rolls-Royce's armaments division. W. A. Robotham recalls him as a brilliant mathematician and talented designer; unfortunately in wartime with glasses and a pointed beard he looked like a foreign secret service agent from novels of the 1920s! 

When these projects were abandoned, he returned to work on aero engines with Rolls-Royce until his retirement in 1947.

Avro Type G. The Avro Type G was a two-seat biplane designed by A.V. Roe to participate in the 1912 British Military Aeroplane Competition. It is notable for having a fully enclosed crew compartment and for being the first aircraft to have recovered from a spin in front of witnesses.

Design and development
The Avro Type G was a two-seat, two-bay biplane  with a fully enclosed crew compartment. The fuselage spanned the entire gap between the upper and lower wings, which featured Roe's characteristic high aspect ratio. Two prototypes were initiated, one equipped with a Green engine and the other with an ABC engine. However, the ABC engine was not delivered in time, leading to the abandonment of the second prototype.

During the military trials, the Type G excelled in the assembly tests, being assembled in just 14½ minutes, and in the fuel consumption tests. Despite its poor rate of climb preventing it from winning a major prize, Avro was awarded £100.
The Type G later set a British endurance record of 7 hours and 31 minutes, piloted by F. P. Raynham at Brooklands on 24 October, a record that was broken only an hour later by Harry Hawker.
 
The aircraft was the second British airplane to recover from a spin, and the first to do so in front of witnesses. On the morning of 25 August, Lt Wilfred Parke, with Lt Breton as passenger, took off for an endurance trial. After three hours of flight, Parke was performing a series of dives and entered a spin at about 700 feet (210 m). Through a combination of luck, cool nerves, and flying skill, he managed to recover at about 50 feet (15 m) above the ground, allowing the aircraft to fly off under perfect control. Parke's ability to clearly report his experience to expert witnesses was significant, as entering a spin had previously been considered almost certain death .
