Fred Chester Bond. Fred Chester Bond (June 10, 1899 – January 23, 1977) was an American mining engineer. A graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, he worked in the mining equipment and ore milling equipment business of Allis-Chalmers from 1930 to 1964.

Bond Work Index
In the 1930s through early 1950s, Bond developed a new theory of comminution that introduced an index, called the 'Bond Work Index', which relates power consumption in crushing and grinding to the feed and product size distribution. His theory and index were introduced in a widely cited 1952 journal article. Bond called his theory the "third theory of comminution", counting those of Peter von Rittinger and Friedrich Kick as the first and second. This term and the terminology of "laws of comminution", as in "Rittinger's law", "Kick's law", and "Bond's law", are sometimes used in the field, along with those of subsequent researchers including Walker and Hukki. Whereas Rittinger's theory held that the work done in breaking rock is proportional to the new surface area produced (that is, inversely proportional to the diameter of the product particles), and Kick's theory held that the work done is directly proportional to the reduction ratio (ratio of feed particle diameter to product particle diameter), Bond's theory held that the work varies inversely as the square root of the product particle diameters. Bond's theory and index brought a greater measure of openness to the calculations for selecting the type, size, and power ratings for ore milling equipment.

Bond was inducted with its first class into the National Mining Hall of Fame posthumously in 1988, and received a Distinguished Achievement Medal by his alma mater, the Colorado School of Mines, in 1952. He received the 1965 AIME Robert H. Richards Award "[f]or major contributions to increased knowledge of crushing and grinding processes and for achievement in industrial application of this knowledge to advancement of the milling industry."

Career and personal life
Bond's autobiography describes life in Colorado in the 1920s and shows some ways in which it was still somewhat pioneering compared with today. It also describes the experience of working as a foreign engineer in South America and some of the poverty encountered, discord argued, friendships made, and mining projects worked on. An interesting account of uranium mining in Canada at Port Radium is given.

Bond and Margaret Jean Lowe were married in Denver, Colorado, on August 29, 1925, and remained married until his death in Tucson in 1977. Margaret Jean died in 1988, also in Tucson. They had two sons, Robert F., born 1926, and Bruce F., born 1933. In addition to his vocation of engineering, Bond had an avocation of thinking and writing on metaphysical subjects.

Crocco's theorem. Crocco's theorem is an aerodynamic theorem relating the flow velocity, vorticity, and stagnation pressure (or entropy) of a potential flow. Crocco's theorem gives the relation between the thermodynamics and fluid kinematics. The theorem was first enunciated by Alexander Friedmann for the particular case of a perfect gas and published in 1922:

However, usually this theorem is connected with the name of Italian scientist Luigi Crocco, a son of Gaetano Crocco.

Consider an element of fluid in the flow field subjected to translational and rotational motion: because stagnation pressure loss and entropy generation can be viewed as essentially the same thing, there are three popular forms for writing Crocco's theorem:

 Stagnation pressure:  
 Entropy (the following form holds for plane steady flows):  
 Momentum: 

In the above equations,  is the flow velocity vector,  is the vorticity,  is the specific volume,  is the stagnation pressure,  is temperature,  is specific entropy,  is specific enthalpy,  is specific body force, and  is the direction normal to the streamlines. All quantities considered (entropy, enthalpy, and body force) are specific, in the sense of "per unit mass".

J. A. Britton. Joseph Albert Britton (1839–1929), most commonly known as J.A. Britton, was a builder of bridges in Indiana.  He created many works that survive and are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Biography
According to a Historic American Engineering Record record, Britton was born in 1839 near Rockville, Indiana. He learned carpentry from his father, but began his career as an attorney with a practice in Lawrence, Kansas. In 1879 he returned to Parke County and switched his focus to carpentry and bridgebuilding. After Britton's primary regional competitor J. J. Daniels retired in 1904, Britton was engaged to build most of the bridges in Parke County between 1904 and 1917.

Throughout his 33-year bridgebuilding career Britton built approximately 40 bridges in three Indiana counties: Parke, Putnam, and Vermillion.

Melsheimer FM-1. The Melsheimer FM-1 is an American single-seat, high-wing, FAI Open Class glider that was designed and constructed by Frank Melsheimer.

Design and development
The FM-1 was first flown in 1968. The designation indicates the designer's initials.

The FM-1 features mixed construction. The aft fuselage and wings are constructed from wood, with the forward fuselage made from welded steel tubing, covered in fibreglass. The wing employs a NACA 4400R airfoil. The aircraft was originally constructed with a T-tail, but this was later changed to a conventional low tail. The cockpit accommodation is one seat in a semi-reclining position.

Only one example was completed and registered in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Operational history
As of May 2011 the FM-1 was still on the Federal Aviation Administration registry.

Blackburn F.3. The Blackburn F.3 (also called the Blackburn F.7/30) was a British single-engined fighter aircraft produced in response to Air Ministry Specification F.7/30.

Design and development
Following the release of Air Ministry Specification F.7/30 for a single-seat day and night fighter, eight companies proposed twelve designs and three, including Blackburn Aircraft, received contracts to produce a prototype. Blackburn's design, the F.3, was a single-bay biplane of unequal wingspan and with an unusual configuration, the upper wing being mounted approximately halfway up the stressed-skin fuselage and the lower wing about two feet below it, the gap being occupied by an enclosure for the condenser of the evaporatively-cooled Goshawk III engine. The undercarriage was attached to the front spar of the lower wing, with diagonal struts transmitting the landing loads to the fuselage longerons. The wheels were fitted with spats but these were later removed. Four Vickers machine-guns were fuselage mounted, two in mid-position on the fuselage and the other two on either side of the top of the condenser housing.

Operational history
Taxiing trials of the F.3 began on 20 July 1934 but  the combination of a short fuselage and a high centre of gravity made it difficult to manoeuvre on the ground and the engine suffered from cooling problems. Further development was stopped when, after an inspection revealed damage to the rear fuselage resulting from the taxiing trials, the Air Ministry withdrew support for the project since the aircraft would have been too delayed to take part in the trials. Following evaluation of F.7/30 designs an order was placed for the Gloster Gladiator.

Lucideon. Lucideon (formerly Ceram) is an independent materials development, testing and assurance company based in Stoke-on-Trent and in the UK. Lucideon owns testing facilities around the world.

History
The British Refractories Research Association was formed in 1920. The pottery industry was required by the Import Duties Advisory Committee in 1937 to create a research association, so the British Pottery Research Association was formed in 1937. The two combined in April 1948 as the British Ceramic Research Association.

The original main building on Queens Road in Penkhull was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in December 1951. In May 1986 it changed its name to British Ceramic Research Ltd, having been incorporated as a company on 18 November 1985.

From the late 1990s the company traded under the abbreviated name Ceram. On 1 February 2014 the company name changed to Lucideon Limited.

Structure
Lucideon is situated south of the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

Lucideon incorporates:
 UK Headquarters - (formerly CERAM Research Ltd)

Shavrov Sh-7. The Shavrov Sh-7 was a Soviet civil transport amphibious aircraft designed by Vadim Shavrov. Although it was ordered into production for Aeroflot, the start of the Great Patriotic War resulted in only a single prototype being built.

Design and development
The Sh-7 was an amphibious flying boat with a cantilever monoplane wing mounted high on the fuselage. It had a crew of two and a cabin for four passengers. Its single MG-31F engine was strut-mounted above the wing, driving a two-bladed  propeller. The prototype first flew on 16 June 1940 and by the end of the year it was decided to put the type into production. The start of the Great Patriotic War in June 1941 halted production and the prototype was then used to carry freight and passengers between Saratov and Astrakhan for a few months.

Prototype (1992 film). Prototype, also known as Prototype X29A, is a 1992 post-apocalyptic science fiction film.

Plot summary
Set in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles of 2057, Hawkins Coselow, a crippled soldier, along with his ex-lover, Chandra Kerkorian, share vivid psychosexual dreams. Dr. Alexis Zalazny is working on a cybernetic program that will help Coselow walk again. The program sort of works, but everything goes deadly wrong when Coselow becomes a killing machine that can interface with any computer. He ends up killing several people belonging to a resistance movement.

The rebels are led by Omegas, cybernetically altered humans, battled government forces in the crime-ridden streets. In time, the Omegas reprogrammed themselves and carried out their own deadly agenda. In the end, the Omegas were destroyed, except one - implanted in a child, Chandra Kerkorian. Now grown, she is ready to lead the rebellion again.

AccuRev SCM. AccuRev is a software configuration management application developed by AccuRev, Inc. and was first released in 1999. In December 2013 AccuRev was acquired by Micro Focus.

Overview
AccuRev is a centralized version control system which uses a client–server model. Communication is performed via TCP/IP using a proprietary protocol. Servers function as team servers, continuous integration servers, or build servers. AccuRev is built around a stream-based architecture in which streams form a hierarchical structure of code changes where parent streams pass on certain properties to child streams. Developers make changes using command line functions, the Java GUI, the web interface, or one of the IDE plug-ins (Eclipse, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA).

Characteristics
Streams and parallel development
AccuRev captures and controls the relationships between code bases in parallel efforts using a stream-based architecture. This allows teams to safely store work and test it before sharing it with others, code is automatically merged or "inherited" between streams and teams once code changes are shared.

Private developer history
AccuRev has a two step check-in process. Users can check-in code privately to their workspace before sharing it with the rest of the group.

Change packages
AccuRev integrates with various ITS and project management tools. History from check-ins and promotions are tied to issues. Most SCM functions can be done on the issue level instead of by file and directory.

Distributed development
AccuRev enables remote stream structures and replication for distributed teams. Replica servers function as a local cache with all write operations happening after.

Automated merging
Streams in AccuRev automatically share and merge code with each other. This is a main distinction between streams and branches.

Kebony. Kebony is a Norwegian wood producer, which manufactures furfurylated wood. The company has its roots in Wood Polymer Technologies (WPT), which was founded in 1996 and changed its name to Kebony in 2007. Kebony has a factory in Skien (Norway) and in Antwerp (Belgium).

Technology

Kebony has developed an environmentally friendly technology which provides an alternative to threatened and endangered tropical hardwoods, and traditional impregnated wood. In the process, a liquid byproduct of the sugar industry, furfuryl alcohol, is used to treat the wood. Using pressure, vacuum and heat treatment, the liquid transforms to furan resin and is tied together with the cell structure of the wood in order to improve the wood's abilities permanently. The woods used are FSC-certified, PEFC-certified and carry the Nordic Ecolabel "the Swan".

The technology has been described in multiple articles in media such as CNN, BBC, The Economist  and Financial Times.
CNBC Business has listed Kebony as one of Europe's 25 most creative companies.

Ugroza. Ugroza (, meaning "menace") is a precision-guided weapons system developed by the Russian Federation. It is an upgrade for standard Russian "dumb" rockets, including the S-5, S-8, and S-13 rockets. The system upgrades the "dumb" rockets with laser guidance, very significantly increasing their accuracy. It requires a laser target designator, from either an airborne or land based source, to "paint" a target. Circular error probable (CEP) is about 0.8 to 1.8 m, while maximum ranges of rockets varies from the rockets used 1.5–8 km. Ugroza allows rockets to be ripple-fired up to 7 at a time.

The notable novelty is that the system does not use aerodynamic flight control (e.g. tail fins), but impulse steering with mini-thrusters. It has been dubbed as the Russian concept of impulse corrections (RCIC).

The concept has been demonstrated by Ametech () on 1999 MAKS airshow, but it is not known if the system has been manufactured since, and in what numbers. The name Ugroza (sometimes transliterated Ugrosa), have been first used for the company's semi-active laser-guided projectile (SAL-GP) for the 122 mm BM-21 Grad series of multiple rocket launchers (it did not enter production and have been shelved as of 2010).

Sources are not clear whether optical (TV) guidance can be used in place of laser guidance.

The designation of rockets upgraded with Ugroza are given the suffix "Kor" (from Russian корректируемые, meaning "correctable"):
S-5Kor
S-8Kor
S-13Kor
