Berkefeld filter. A Berkefeld filter is a water filter made of diatomaceous earth (Kieselgur). It was invented in Germany in 1891, and by 1922 was being marketed in the United Kingdom by the Berkefeld Filter Co. Berkefeld was the name of the owner of the mine in Hanover, Germany, where the ceramic material was obtained.

The Berkefeld is a good bacterial water filter used in microbiological laboratories, in homes and out in the field.

Design
The filter housing consists of two metal or plastic cylinders sitting one on top of the other. The upper one has a lid and can be filled with impure water. In the bottom of the upper cylinder are one or more holes fitted with diatomaceous earth (Kieselgur) filter columns (filter candles). The water is forced through the filters by gravity, and then trickles down to the lower cylinder where it is stored and tapped off as required.

Some types of filters are fitted with a carbon core to act as a deodorizing adsorbent. They may also be impregnated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth. Some types, depending on their grade of porosity, also remove certain microscopic fungi and particulate matter.

The filters without silver impregnation are sterilized by autoclaving or by steam sterilizer after a thorough cleaning.

Berkey Filters 
New Millenium Concepts (NMC) Ltd. received a license to distribute British Berkefeld filters in North America. However, they developed their own purification element in 2003, called the "Black Berkey," which is used in "Berkey" water filters. NMC's Black Berkey purification elements employ a mix of six different filtration media, whereas the British Berkefeld water filter's purification elements were composed primarily of diatomaceous earth.

Rainfresh Ceramic Filters 
In the mid-1990s Envirogard Products Limited in Canada developed its own proprietary version of the Berkefeld ceramic filter that would be marketed under the brand Rainfresh. These ceramic filters also utilize diatomaceous earth, but also include a unique blend of other materials that result in a 0.3-micron absolute filter that provides >7-log reduction of pathogenic bacteria.

Types
The filters are classified according to the diameter of the pores in the ceramic material:

 V (Viel) - Coarsest pores
 N (Normal) - Intermediate sized pores
 W (Wenig) - Finest pores

Usefulness
The Berkefeld is a cheap, portable and efficient bacterial filter in general, though it does not remove viruses like Hepatitis A and some bacteria such as mycoplasma. Some companies claim that they filter out from between 100% of particles above 0.9 micrometre to 98% of particles above 0.5 micrometre in diameter. These are very durable filters, and the filter elements may be cleaned over 100 times before requiring replacement.

Some of the first Berkefeld filters were used during the 1892 cholera epidemic in Hamburg.

Smooth clean surface. Smooth clean surface (SCS) is a process applied to hot rolled sheet metal and coils to remove nearly all mill scale and clean the steel surface.

The SCS process feeds hot rolled sheet steel, either as individual blanks or as a continuous strip that is uncoiled, into the SCS "brushing machine". Within the machine the steel is passed between sets of rotating roller brushes that spin on an axis perpendicular to the sheet's direction of travel. The roller brush exterior is an engineered abrasive, similar to Scotchbrite, that makes contact with the steel under pressure. Each roller brush spins against the steel at a speed of 900 to 1000 revolutions per minute, "scrubbing away" the outer layers of mill scale – hematite and  magnetite – and most of the inner layer, wüstite. The remaining wüstite layer is only a few micrometres thick and highly polished to a smooth surface. Three such roller brushes are typically applied to each surface of the steel sheet, for a total of six roller brushes per SCS brushing machine. Numerous spray nozzles within the brushing machine provide water to rinse the removed scale and any other debris from the steel surface and to cool the friction heat generated in the brushes. The water is filtered and re-used in this closed-loop rinsing/filtering system.

The SCS process imparts a measure of rust resistance to the sheet steel, so that when exposed to a noncondensing atmosphere, its propensity to rust is markedly less than that of hot rolled steel that is not treated with the SCS process. The exact metallurgical phenomenon underlying this transformation of the surface to make it more rust resistant is not fully understood; however, it is theorized that the remaining wüstite layer (chemical symbol FeO) contains a much lower proportion of oxygen than the removed hematite and magnetite layers and is, therefore, more stable and less prone to oxidation when exposed to a noncondensing atmosphere.

The SCS process and its attendant equipment is now paired with a related process, eco pickled surface or EPS. The EPS technology accomplishes a more complete removal of surface oxides than does the SCS process; however, it can also leave the surface with an overall rougher texture, as indicated by Ra or roughness average.  The SCS process is applied directly after the EPS process to produce a smoother surface when desired.

Handley Page Hanley. The Handley Page Hanley was a British torpedo bomber aircraft of the 1920s. A single-engine, single-seat biplane intended to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, it was not successful, with only three aircraft being built.

Design and development
In late 1920, Handley Page started design of a new single-seat torpedo bomber to meet the requirements of Air Ministry Specification 3/20 for a carrier-based aircraft to replace the Sopwith Cuckoo, in competition with the Blackburn Dart. The resulting design, the Type T, (later known as the H.P.19) and named the Hanley was a single-engine biplane of wooden construction. It, like the Dart, was powered by a Napier Lion engine and had a crew of one. It had folding three-bay wings which were fitted with full-span leading edge slots on both upper and lower wings in order to improve low-speed handling.

Three prototypes were ordered, the first of which (serialed N143) flew on 3 January 1922. Initial testing revealed that performance was disappointing with low speed handling, and that the view from the cockpit was also poor. After being damaged in a crash landing, the first prototype was rebuilt with new wingtips, a revised two-bay wing and with the control cables for the elevators enclosed in the rear fuselage to reduce drag, flying in December 1922 as the Hanley Mark II. These changes improved performance, but handling was still poor. The third prototype was therefore fitted with revised slots, as well as the drag reduction changes tested on the Hanley Mark II, the revised aircraft being designated Hanley Mark III, demonstrating considerably improved handling.

By the time that the Hanley Mark III was available for testing, the Dart, which was developed from Blackburn's earlier Swift, had already been ordered into service.

McIntosh and Fildes' anaerobic jar. McIntosh and Fildes' anaerobic jar is an instrument used in the production of an anaerobic environment. This method of anaerobiosis as others is used to culture bacteria which die or fail to grow in presence of oxygen (anaerobes). It was originally introduced by James McIntosh, Paul Fildes and William Bulloch in 1916. McIntosh and Fildes, after whom the device has been named, published an improved version in 1921.

Construction
The jar, about  is made of metal. Its parts are as follows:
The body made up of metal (airtight)
The lid, also metal can be placed in an airtight fashion
A screw going through a curved metal strip to secure and hold the lid in place
A thermometer to measuring the internal temperature
A pressure gauge to measuring the internal pressure (or a side tube is attached to a manometer)
 Another side tube for evacuation and introduction of gases (to a gas cylinder or a vacuum pump)
A wire cage hanging from the lid to hold a catalyst that makes hydrogen react to oxygen without the need of any ignition source

Method of use
First:
The culture: The culture media are placed inside the jar, stacked up one on the other, and
Indicator system: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, inoculated on to a nutrient agar plate is kept inside the jar along with the other plates. This bacteria need oxygen to grow (aerobic). A growth free culture plate at the end of the   process indicates a successful anaerobiosis.  However, P. aeruginosa possesses a denitrification pathway. If nitrate is present in the media, P. aeruginosa may still grow under anaerobic conditions.

Second: ths of the air inside is pumped out and replaced with either unmixed Hydrogen or as a 10%CO2+90%H2 mixture. The catalyst (Palladium) acts and the oxygen is used up in forming water with the hydrogen. The manometer registers this as a fall in the internal pressure of the jar.

Third: Hydrogen is pumped in to fill up the jar so that the pressure inside equals atmospheric pressure. The jar is now incubated at desired temperature settings.

University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten. Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences (RWU; ) is a public university in the city of Weingarten, in the southern part of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The university was founded in 1962 and tracks advanced fields in Applied Physics and Process Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Automotive and Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Business & Technology Management as well as Social Work and Healthcare Management. The university has a very good reputation regarding engineering and technology studies; according to CHE ranking, published weekly by major German newspaper Die Zeit, RWU frequently ranks among the top universities in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as computer science.

History 

In 1962, Baden-Wuerttemberg Parliament decided to build a State School of Engineering (SIS) in Ravensburg with two departments, Mechanical Engineering and Physical Engineering. In 1967, the first students subsequently graduated as engineers. In 1971, The State Schools of Engineering become Fachhochschulen, commonly known as Universities of Applied Sciences English. In 1974, the Ministry of Education decided the establishment of two new faculties: Electronics and Business Administration. The university was further extended with the introduction of the Electronics program as part of the Physical Engineering department in May 1974.

Today, Ravensburg-Weingarten University offers 35 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in German and English in four faculties: The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Faculty of Technology and Management and the Faculty of Social Work, Health and Nursing. RWU employs 296 academic and administrative staff members.

PLUS studies 
In cooperation with the near Weingarten University of Education which specializes in teachers' education, the university provides some courses leading to a double graduation with a bachelor's degree in Engineering and an additionally possibility to obtain a university degree in Teaching at professional schools.

Structure 
The university is divided into several departments which provide a broad range of Engineering, Social Work and Management courses:

 Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
 Department of Mechanical Engineering
 Department of Social Work and Healthcare Management
 Department of Technology and Management

PV-Wave. PV-WAVE (Precision Visuals - Workstation Analysis and Visualization Environment) is an array oriented fourth-generation programming language used by engineers, scientists, researchers, business analysts and software developers to build and deploy visual data analysis applications. In January 2019, PV-Wave parent Rogue Wave Software was acquired by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based application software developer Perforce.

History

PV-WAVE was originally developed by a company called Precision Visuals, based in Boulder, CO. In 1992, the IMSL Numerical Libraries and Precision Visuals merged and the new company was renamed Visual Numerics.

PV-WAVE is closely related to the IDL (programming language), from whose code-base PV-WAVE originated. The shared history of PV-WAVE and IDL began in 1988, when Precision Visuals entered into an agreement with Research Systems, Incorporated (RSI, the original developer of IDL) under which Precision Visuals resold IDL under the name PV-WAVE. In September 1990, Precision Visuals exercised an option in its agreement with RSI to purchase a copy of the IDL source code. Since then, IDL and PV-WAVE have been on separate development tracks: each product has been enhanced, supported, and maintained separately by its respective company.

In May 2009, Visual Numerics was acquired by Rogue Wave Software. 

In January 2019, Rogue Wave Software was acquired by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based application software developer Perforce.

About
Due to their common history, PV-WAVE and IDL share a similar FORTRAN-like syntax, as well as many common commands, functions, and subroutines.

Comonomer. In polymer chemistry, a comonomer refers to a polymerizable precursor to a copolymer aside from the principal monomer.  In some cases, only small amounts of a comonomer are employed, in other cases substantial amounts of comonomers are used.  Furthermore, in some cases, the comonomers are statistically incorporated within the polymer chain, whereas in other cases, they aggregate.  The distribution of comonomers is referred to as the "blockiness" of a copolymer.

Polyolefins
1-Octene, 1-hexene, and 1-butene are used comonomers in the manufacture of polyethylenes.  The advantages to such copolymers has led to a focus on catalysts that facilitate the incorporation of these comonomers, e.g., constrained geometry complexes.

Comonomers are often employed to improve the plastification of polymeric materials, i.e. the flexibility of the polymer.  Unlike traditional plasticizers, comonomers are not leachable.

Styrenics
In other cases, comonomers are used to introduce crosslinking.  Divinylbenzene, for example, when copolymerized with styrene, gives a crosslinked polystyrene.

Acrylates
The homopolymers of acrylate esters (e.g., butyl acrylate) have few applications.  Copolymers however have many applications/  They are produced by copolymerization of alkyl acrylates and one or more of the following comonomers methyl methacrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and butadiene.

Open Agent Architecture. Open Agent Architecture, or OAA for short, is a framework for integrating a community of heterogeneous software agents in a distributed environment. It is also a research project of the SRI International Artificial Intelligence Center.

Roughly, the architecture is that a central "blackboard" server holds a list of tasks while a group of agents executes these tasks based on their specific capabilities.

Agents working in the structure of an OAA framework are built to universal communication and functional standards and are based on the Interagent Communication Language. The language is platform-independent and allows agents to collaborate by delegating and receiving work requests.

Open Agent Architecture was first proposed in the late 1990s and was later used as a foundation for the DARPA-funded CALO artificial intelligence project.

Spyborgs. Spyborgs is a beat 'em up video game for the Wii developed by American studio Bionic Games and published by Capcom. It was released in September 2009.

Gameplay

Spyborgs sees players controlling a member of a team of cyborg secret agents, each with their own unique abilities, through several levels populated by enemies. The game is designed to be played cooperatively with two players, though the AI will take control of the other character in single player games. Players can also gain experience points to upgrade their character's abilities.

For each level, players can choose two out of the three Spyborgs, which include:
Clandestine, a quick and nimble female ninja.
Bouncer, a lumbering but powerful robot.
Stinger, a soldier with a cybernetic gun arm.

Played using the Wii Remote, motion controls initiate special attacks while the two characters can team up their attacks for additional damage. Alternatively, players can also choose to play with the buttons on the Wii Remote instead.

Plot

Development
Initially announced in June 2008 at Capcom's Captivate event, Spyborgs underwent a major redesign after a lukewarm reception from the gaming press. Changes include a shift from bright cartoony graphics reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoon shows, to a grittier and more realistic visual look, as well as the removal of minigames which served as parodies of children's toy commercials. The current game also shifted focus from an action-oriented game with superpower-based puzzle elements to a brawler.

The game was developed in an internal engine designed by Bionic Games, not MT Framework.

Bionic Games shut down after Spyborgs was released, making it their only title.

Reception

Spyborgs received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN praised the game for its high quality graphics and large amount of polish. Despite this, IGN criticised the title for its punishing difficulty and lack of innovation. Eurogamer criticised the game for being generic.
