Infineta Systems. Infineta Systems was a company that made WAN optimization products for high performance, latency-sensitive network applications. The company advertised that it allowed application data rate to exceed the nominal data rate of the link. Infineta Systems ceased operations by February 2013, a liquidator was appointed, and its products will no longer be manufactured, sold or distributed.

Riverbed Technology purchased some of Infineta's assets from the liquidator.

Company 
Infineta was founded in 2008 by Raj Kanaya, the CEO, and K.V.S. Ramarao, the CTO. Ramarao concluded the computational resources, especially I/O operations and CPU cycles, associated with data compression technologies would ultimately limit their scalability. He and Kanaya determined founded Infineta to develop algorithms and hardware. The company had six patents pending.

Infineta was headquartered in San Jose, California and attracted $30 million in two rounds of venture funding from Alloy Ventures, North Bridge Venture Partners, and Rembrandt Venture Partners.

Products 
Infineta announced its Data Mobility Switch in June 2011. The DMS was the first WAN optimization technology to work at throughput rates of 10 Gbit/s. Infineta designed the product in FPGA hardware around a multi-Gigabit switch fabric to minimize latency.
The DMS used compression similar to data deduplication.

The product was designed to addresses the long-standing issue of TCP performance on long fat networks, so even unreduced data can achieve throughputs equivalent to the WAN bandwidth. To illustrate what this means, take the example of transferring a 2.5 GBytes (20 billion bits) file from New York to Chicago (15 ms latency, 30 ms round-trip time ) over a 1 Gbit/s link. With standard TCP, which uses a 64 KB window size, the file transfer would take about 20 minutes. The theoretical maximum throughput is 1 Gbit/s, or about 20 seconds. The DMS performs the transfer in 19.5 to 21 seconds.

EnviroCAB. EnviroCAB is a taxicab service provider based in Arlington County, Virginia, which provides service exclusively with a fleet of hybrid electric vehicles. When the company began operations in February 2008 it became the first all-hybrid taxicab fleet in the United States, and the first carbon negative taxicab company in the world.

History
In September 2007 the Arlington County Board authorized EnviroCAB, then a new taxi company, to operate with an all-hybrid fleet of 50 vehicles. In addition, the Board authorized existing companies permission to add 35 hybrid taxis. The introduction of green taxis is part of a county campaign known as Fresh AIRE, or Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions. AIRE aims to cut production of greenhouse gases from county buildings and vehicles by 10% by 2012.

Description
EnviroCAB taxi fleet consist of Toyota Priuses, Toyota Camry Hybrids, Toyota Highlander Hybrids, and Ford Escape Hybrids.

Carbon footprint
The company claims to be the first carbon-negative taxicab company in the world, as it will completely offset its own emissions by purchasing "clean-source" offset credits. Also, EnviroCAB expects to offset the emissions of 100 of the approximately 685 non-hybrid taxis operating in Arlington by March 2008.

Emmert International. Emmert International is a specialized heavy transportation and rigging company based in Clackamas, Oregon.  Founded by Terry Emmert as a house and small building relocation company, the majority of the company’s revenue is generated from its commercial division. Emmert International has three branches; Rhome, Texas, Danbury, Texas and the corporate branch in Clackamas, Oregon.

Emmert International’s commercial division specializes in mega-load relocation via road, marine and rail, as well as rigging and gantry crane lifts. Most commercial work falls under the category of "engineered transport," wherein each load is carried on a custom transporter.

Some of Emmert International's notable projects include the Spruce Goose airplane designed by Howard Hughes, the Hubble Space Telescope, the 3.2 million-pound brick Fairmount Hotel, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art installation "Levitated Mass," and Fermilab's g-2 muon particle accelerator. Emmert International’s primary focus is on the power, oil gas and chemical, nuclear, mining, and aerospace industries.

Emmert International is a division of Emmert Industrial Corporation.

History

During the rapid urban expansion of the 1960s, Terry Emmert began purchasing homes from properties set for commercial development and relocating them to undeveloped properties he had acquired. As Emmert began hiring out his crew for other structure relocation projects, in 1964 he established Emmert International as a house and small building relocation company.

To expand the business further, Emmert International designed and manufactured a new dolly and jacking system. The project, led by Mike Albrecht, led the company to further growth.

In the 1990s, Emmert International launched its commercial division, with the vision of pursuing larger clients. The company grew considerably, with company revenue increasing by 2000%. During this growth period, Emmert International opened two new branches in Rohme and Danbury, Texas, and Clackamas became its corporate headquarters.

In June 2009, a 411-ton electrical transformer made in China was delivered to a utility in New Hampshire over the Conway Scenic Railroad using a Schnabel car from Emmert International.

Edwin S. Webster. Edwin Sibley Webster (August 26, 1867 – May 10, 1950) was an early electrical engineer and graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He co-founded Stone & Webster with his friend Charles A. Stone. He was president and vice-chairman of the company for many years, becoming chairman on the death of his partner in 1941.

Stone & Webster built their business from a base at Stoughton, Massachusetts into a multi-faceted engineering services company that provided engineering, construction, environmental, and plant operation and maintenance services. They became involved with power generation projects, starting with hydroelectric plants of the late 19th-century that led to building and operating electric streetcar systems in a number of cities across the United States. 

As well as industrial plants, they built the 50-storey General Electric Building in New York City, the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh, a landmark now listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as buildings for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Stone & Webster was the prime contractor for the electromagnetic separation plant for the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Clarence Cory. Clarence Linus Cory (September 4, 1872 – August 2, 1937) was an American engineer and educator who is known as the father of electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

Early life
Cory was born in Lafayette, Indiana, to Thomas Cory and Carrie Stoney.  Cory's father was an inventor and served as a topographer in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Education
In 1889, Cory received a degree of bachelor of mechanical engineering in electrical engineering from Purdue University at the age of 16. In 1891 he received a degree of master of mechanical engineering from Cornell University.

Career
Cory was appointed to a position of professor of electrical engineering at Highland Park College in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1891. In 1892, he became the first professor of mechanical and electrical engineering at University of California, Berkeley.

During his early years at Berkeley, Cory established Electrical Laboratories that supplied light and power to the entire Berkeley campus. During a sabbatical leave in 1900 he became a co-founder of engineering firm Cory, Meredith and Allen in San Francisco.   In 1908, Cory was appointed the dean of College of Mechanics at Berkeley. Clarence Cory was awarded a doctoral degree in engineering from Purdue University in 1914. During World War I, Cory obtained a leave of absence from Berkeley to accept a "dollar-a-year" job of assistant director of nitrate and powder plants in West Virginia, where he was responsible for power production. He became professor emeritus in 1931.

Personal life
Cory married Mayme Pritchard on December 25, 1905, in Harlan, Iowa. Cory's older brother, Harry Thomas Cory, was an industrial engineer.

Cory Hall, a building on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, was completed in 1950 and named after Cory.

Net smelter return. Net Smelter Return (NSR) is the net revenue that the owner of a mining property receives from the sale of the mine's metal/non metal products less transportation and refining costs.  As a royalty it refers to the fraction of net smelter return that a mine operator is obligated to pay the owner of the royalty agreement.  The royalty is paid in variable or fixed payments based on sales revenue received by a mining operator in return for mining output.  It is contingent only on the sales price and quantity of product sold.

The term is named so due to the fact most of the time, mining output sold requires further processing by smelters; the mining products purchased directly by smelters are sold to them for a discounted (net) price based on how much further processing is needed.  The mining lease specifies the selling price (prices are different in spot and forward markets) and is used to verify the exact amount of product that's produced and sold between royalty payments.

One advantage NSR royalties have over other royalties is that usually, payments are higher in the short term because capital costs and exploration costs cannot be used as deductions (some royalties don't have to be paid until after other costs such as loans/amortization are taken care of).  Also, mine life and royalty expiration dates need to be taken into consideration.  The royalty can be called a Net Value Royalty when deductions are based solely on the contract.

Alternatively the Gross Smelter Return is a percentage of gross revenue paid by mine owner that isn't subject to any deductions.

Examples of transactions involving net smelter return royalties

Franco-Nevada's 7.29% NSR royalty on Newmont Mining's Gold Quarry open pit mine in Nevada, which cost the company US$103.5 million, realized $250 million in royalty payments before being acquired.  The NSM royalty in this case gave Franco Nevada the option of collecting in cash or in-kind (metal product output).
