Watanabe E9W. The Watanabe E9W was a Japanese submarine-borne reconnaissance seaplane, the first aircraft designed by Watanabe Ironworks.

Development and design
In January 1934, the Imperial Japanese Navy had a requirement for a two-seat reconnaissance seaplane to be operated from its J-3 type submarines, and it placed an order with Watanabe for design and development of an aircraft to meet this requirement. The first of three prototypes flew in February 1935.

The E9W was a two-seat, single-engine, twin-float, unequal-span seaplane designed to be easily dismantled for hangar stowage on a submarine, capable of being reassembled in two minutes 30 seconds and disassembled in one minute 30 seconds. It was armed with a 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine gun operated by the observer. Following successful testing of one of the prototypes on the submarine I-5, an order for a production batch of 32 aircraft, designated E9W1, was placed. When the Pacific War begun, six E9W1s were operational; this number was nearly doubled by July 1942.

E9Ws left the Watanabe factory with an Alclad coating and a black engine cowling. Combat units then went on to apply camouflage as they saw fit, usually from stocks available in depots, shipyards, or other bases.

Operational history
The aircraft entered service in 1938 with the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service as the Navy Type 96 Small Reconnaissance Seaplane with the last being delivered in 1940. Although it was in the process of being replaced by the Yokosuka E14Y monoplane, it was still in front-line service at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, remaining in service until July 1942, being used to direct their parent submarines onto Chinese ships attempting to pass the Japanese blockade of the South China Sea. The E9W1 was given the reporting name Slim in 1942 by the Allies of World War II.

LYaPAS. Logical Language for the Representation of Synthesis Algorithms (LYaPAS, Russian: ЛЯПАС) is a programming language created by Arkady Zakrevsky in the Soviet Union.

LYaPAS was initially designed especially for non-numeric programming for the Soviet designed and built line of mainframe computers named Ural-1. LYaPAS uses octal numbers.

A further refinement of LYaPAS is LYaPAS-M.

History 
The development started in the end of 1962, while Zakrevsky was working at the Siberian Physical-Technical Institute (part of Tomsk State University). The first translators were implemented in 1963.

The first widely available book about the language was published in Russian (Логический язык для представления алгоритмов синтеза релейных устройств, 1966), which was soon translated and published in English (LYaPAS: a programming language for logic and coding algorithms, 1969). The book contained a collection of articles with full LYaPAS descriptions, some algorithms in the language and descriptions of programming environments for the Ural-1 and M-20 computers which operated at a speed of 100  and 20,000 operations per second, respectively.

In 1974, LYaPAS-M, a new version of the language, appeared. Among other changes, this version was adapted for the character set common among the Soviet computers of the time, namely the first 100 characters of the GOST 10859 7-bit encoding.

Zakrevsky later worked on LYaPAS at the Laboratory of System Programming and Logical Synthesis, of the Academy of Sciences of the Byelorussian SSR, since renamed the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

Versions 
 LYaPAS-70 for Minsk-22 machine
 LYaPAS-71 for BESM-6 and M-220 machines
 LYaPAS-M

Example 
Example program in LYaPAS-M for calculating GCD of variables N and M:
П1 N ↑–2 M;N=R N=M R=N ↑=1
П2 M=D **
Explanation:
 Program is executed from left to right. 
 П1 and П2 are line labels.
 Operation N puts the value of the integer variable into the implicit "current value" variable τ, which holds the result of the last operation.
 Conditional branch operation ↑–2 moves the execution to line 2 if the current value is zero.
 Expression M;N calculates remainder.
 Expression =R assigns current value to variable R.
 ↑=1 is an unconditional branch to line 1.
 ** is the end marker.

All whitespaces are ignored, so the above program is equivalent to the one-liner:
П1N↑–2M;N=RN=MR=N↑=1П2M=D**

Brown waste. Brown waste is any biodegradable waste that is predominantly carbon based. The term includes such items as grass cuttings, dry leaves, twigs, hay, paper, sawdust, corn cobs, used livestock bedding, manure, animal waste, cardboard, pine needles or cones, etc.
Carbon is necessary for composting, which uses a combination of green waste and brown waste to promote the microbial processes involved in the decomposition process. The composting of brown waste sustainably returns the carbon to the carbon cycle.

Brown waste is considered the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of it in the ecosystem. Some companies use this waste to make artificial wood, and other products used for non-food grade materials.

Radio science subsystem. A radio science subsystem (RSS) is a subsystem placed on board a spacecraft for radio science purposes.

Function of the RSS

The RSS uses radio signals to probe a medium such as a planetary atmosphere. The spacecraft transmits a highly stable signal to ground stations, receives such a signal from ground stations, or both. Since the transmitted signal parameters are accurately known to the receiver, any changes to these parameters are attributable to the propagation medium or to the relative motion of the spacecraft and ground station.

The RSS is usually not a separate instrument; its functions are usually "piggybacked" on the existing telecommunications subsystem. More advanced systems use multiple antennas with orthogonal polarizations.

Applications

Radio science is commonly used to determine the gravity field of a moon or planet by observing Doppler shift. This requires a highly stable oscillator on the spacecraft, or more commonly a "2-way coherent" transponder that phase locks the transmitted signal frequency to a rational multiple of a received uplink signal that usually also carries spacecraft commands.

Another common radio science observation is in radio occultation, performed as a spacecraft is occulted by a planetary body. As the spacecraft moves behind the planet, its radio signals cuts through successively deeper layers of the planetary atmosphere. Measurements of signal strength and polarization vs time can yield data on the composition and temperature of the atmosphere at different altitudes.

It is also common to use multiple radio frequencies coherently derived from a common source to measure the dispersion of the propagation medium. This is especially useful in determining the free electron content of a planetary ionosphere.

Cyber Bandits. Cyber Bandits, also known as A Sailor’s Tattoo, is a 1995 science fiction film directed by Erik Fleming. It uses a screenplay by James Robinson and James Goldman (credited as Winston Beard). It was made by Lumiere Pictures and used visual effects by Steven Robiner. 

The film stars Martin Kemp as the ship captain Jack Morris who unwittingly gets entangled into a dangerous adventure when he transports passengers who have created a lethal virtual reality weapon. Others in the cast included Alexandra Paul, Robert Hays, Adam Ant, Grace Jones, Kiana Tom, and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In regular Henry Gibson. It was distributed by Columbia TriStar and released on DVD in December 2004. It received an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America for violence and profanity.

Synopsis 
When Jack Morris accepts a job to serve as a navigator aboard a yacht owned by millionaire Morgan, he's unaware that this will place him in the middle of a deadly entanglement. Morgan's mistress, Rebecca Snow, has stolen his most recent and deadly invention, the computer code for a weapon capable of erasing a target's brain and leaving them trapped within their own body. In order to force his help, Rebecca tattoos the code onto Jack's skin, making him a target for any and everyone who wants to obtain the code.

Production 
Jones wore her own clothes to portray the character.

Release 
Cyber Bandits was released direct to video during November 1995, through Columbia TriStar.

Reception 
Film critics Mick Martin and Marsha Porter dismissed the film as a "farfetched action outing that uses high technology as camouflage for its own lack of invention." Another commentator stated: "Fleming directs it like nothing is out of the ordinary about these bizarre characters and crazy situations." Entertainment Weekly indicated that Kemp struggled with and ultimately failed in employing an American accent, and criticized the film for its ignorance of technology in what was supposed to be a plot involving technology of the future.
