Camair Twin Navion. 

The Camair Twin Navion was a civil utility aircraft produced in the United States in the 1950s by converting single-engine Ryan Navions to twin-engine power. It had been one of two programs to improve the performance of the otherwise-pleasing Navion that was generally considered to be underpowered. The other program had resulted in the TEMCO-Riley D-16A Twin Navion. The Twin Navion design had been undertaken by the White brothers of White Engineering in San Antonio, Texas. They replaced the Navion's engine with a baggage compartment, mounted two engines within new nacelles attached to the wing leading edges, fitted the aircraft with a new tail fin made of fiberglass, and added tip tanks made from recycled WWII napalm canisters. Designated the WE-1, the prototype and the rights were sold to Camair soon after its first flight in 1953 and Civil Aviation Authority type certification was achieved in May 1955 under the name Camair 480.  Sales were slow and Camair built only 25 examples before selling off the rights in 1959. The ownership of these rights would change hands twice again over the following decade but only another eight aircraft would be built after the end of Camair's involvement

Displacement measurement. Displacement measurement is the measurement of changes in directed distance (displacement). Devices measuring displacement are based on displacement sensors, which can be contacting or non-contacting. Some displacement sensors are based on displacement transducers, devices which convert displacement into another form of energy. 

Displacement sensors can be used to indirectly measure a number of other quantities, including deformation, distortion, thermal expansion, thickness (normally through the combination of two sensors), vibration, spindle motion, fluid level, strain and mechanical shock.

Displacement sensors exist that can measure displacement on the order of nanometers or smaller.

Application 
Displacement receivers can be used to study and observe the stress waves passing through a material after it is struck. This can be used to assess fire damage to reinforced concrete.

Displacement transducers are often used to measure vibration.

Types 
Optical displacement sensors exist, using reflected light to determine distance.

An ultrasonic displacement sensor is a kind of displacement sensor. These measure the distance to targets by emitting low-frequency sound waves and measuring the time they take to return.

Displacement sensors can be made using linear variable differential transformers.

Strain gauges can be used as the base for small displacement transducers on the order of 0 to 10 mm.

In music, certain music keyboards can be considered to measure displacement in the sense that they respond to displacement, rather than velocity (as is more commonly the case).

Examples of displacement-responding sensors include the mechanical action of tracker organs, as well as the force-sensing resistors found in music keyboards that had polyphonic aftertouch capability.  Polyphonic aftertouch is no longer a feature of presently manufactured keyboards, but certain older models such as the Roland A50 featured a pressure sensing resistor, similar in principle-of-operation to a carbon microphone, in each key.

Pwdump. pwdump is the name of various Windows programs that outputs the LM and NTLM password hashes of local user accounts from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database and from the Active Directory domain's users cache on the operating system.

It is widely used, to perform both the famous pass-the-hash attack, or also can be used to brute-force users' password directly. In order to work, it must be run under an Administrator account, or be able to access an Administrator account on the computer where the hashes are to be dumped. Pwdump could be said to compromise security because it could allow a malicious administrator to access user's passwords.

History

The initial program called pwdump was written by Jeremy Allison. He published the source code in 1997 (see open-source). Since then there have been further developments by other programmers:
pwdump (1997) — original program by Jeremy Allison.
pwdump2 (2000) — by Todd Sabin of Bindview (GPL), uses DLL injection.
pwdump3 — by Phil Staubs (GPL), works over the network.
pwdump3e —  by Phil Staubs (GPL), sends encrypted over network.
pwdump4 — by bingle (GPL), improvement on pwdump3 and pwdump2.
pwdump5 — by AntonYo! (freeware).
pwdump6 (c. 2006) — by fizzgig (GPL), improvement of pwdump3e. No source code.
fgdump (2007) — by fizzgig, improvement of pwdump6 w/ addons. No source code.
pwdump7 — by Andres Tarasco (freeware), uses own filesystem drivers. No source code.
pwdump8 — by Fulvio Zanetti and Andrea Petralia, supports AES128 encrypted hashes (Windows 10 and later). No source code.

Ryan XV-8. The Ryan XV-8 Flexible Wing Aerial Utility Vehicle (nicknamed Fleep, short for "Flying Jeep") was an improved version of the Flex-Wing. Both aircraft were built by Ryan Aeronautical Company in collaboration with NASA for the United States Air Force and the United States Army and tested in 1961 as a STOL patrol, reconnaissance, and light utility aircraft to transport people or freight when a more specialized aircraft is not required or available.

Design and development 

The Fleep began as the Flex-Wing.  The Flex-Wing had four-wheel landing gear, a smaller nose section behind which the pilot sat, and a single vertical tail/rudder.

The Fleep had tricycle landing gear, a larger nose section and a V tail/rudder. The wing was a fabric delta-shaped Rogallo wing with a foldable frame; the wing was attached to a pod-like cockpit on a four-wheeled cargo platform. It was tested with two tail configurations — vertical fin and V-tail. The aircraft wing could be folded into a relatively small package for transport.

James H. Pomerene. James Herbert Pomerene (June 22, 1920 – December 7, 2008) was an electrical engineer and computer pioneer.

Biography
Pomerene was born June 22, 1920, in Yonkers, New York. His father was Joel Pomerene and mother was Elsie Bower.

He received the BS degree in electrical engineering from Northwestern University in 1942. In 1945 he married Edythe Schwenn and had three children.

In 1946, he joined the Electronic Computer Project at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, under the leadership of John von Neumann. The project built a parallel stored program computer called the IAS machine that was the prototype for a number of machines such as the MANIAC I, ORACLE, and ILLIAC series. Pomerene designed and implemented the adder portion of the arithmetic unit.

Collaborating with engineers such as Bruce Gilchrist and Y.K. Wong, they invented a fast adder which incorporated a speed up technique for asynchronous adders reducing the time for additive carry-overs to propagate. This design was actually later incorporated in one commercial computer, the Philco TRANSAC S-2000, introduced in 1957, the first commercial transistorized computer.

Pomerene became chief engineer on the IAS computer project from 1951 to 1956.

In Summer 1956, Pomerene joined the IBM Corporation in Poughkeepsie, where he and several others started the development of various electronic computer systems such as the IBM 7030 and  Harvest computers. He was appointed an IBM Fellow in 1976. He held 37 patents when he retired from IBM in 1993.

Pomerene was a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He received the IEEE Edison Medal in 1993, and the Eckert-Mauchly Award in 2006.

He died December 7, 2008, in Chappaqua, New York.
