Meta-scheduling. Meta-scheduling or super scheduling is a computer software technique of optimizing computational workloads by combining an organization's multiple job schedulers into a single aggregated view, allowing batch jobs to be directed to the best location for execution.

Meta-scheduling technique is a solution for scheduling a set of dependent or independent faults with different scenarios that are mapping and modeling in an event-tree. It can be used as a dynamic or static scheduling method.

Scenario-based meta-scheduling 

Scenario-based and multi-mode approaches are essential techniques in embedded-systems, e.g., design space exploration for MPSoCs and reconfigurable systems.

Optimization techniques for the generation of schedule graphs supporting such a SBMeS approach have been developed and implemented. 

Scenario-based meta-scheduling can promise better performance by reducing dynamic scheduling overhead and recovering from faults.

Implementations 

The following is a partial list of noteworthy open source and commercial meta-schedulers currently available.
 GridWay by the Globus Alliance
 Community Scheduler Framework by Platform Computing and Jilin University
 MP Synergy by United Devices
 Moab Cluster Suite and Maui Cluster scheduler from Adaptive Computing
 DIOGENES (distributed optimal genetic algorithm for grid applications scheduling, started project)
 SynfiniWay's meta-scheduler
 MeS is designed to generate schedules for anticipated changes of scenarios by Dr.-Ing. Babak Sorkhpour and Prof. Dr.-Ing.Roman Obermaisser in chair for Embedded Systems in university of Siegen for energy-efficient, Robust and Adaptive Time-Triggered Systems (multi-core architectures with Networks-on-chip).
 Accelerator Plus runs jobs by the use of host jobs in an underlying workload manager. This approach achieves high job throughput by distributing the processing load associated with submitting and managing jobs.

William A. Bugge. William Adair Bugge (July 10, 1900 - November 14, 1992) was a civil engineer who played a major role in the development of the transportation infrastructure of the West Coast of the United States during the latter half of the 20th century.

Background
William A. Bugge was born in Port Hadlock, Washington to Samuel M. & Amelia (Bishop) Bugge, his father a Norwegian immigrant and his mother the daughter of immigrants from Great Britain and some of the earliest settlers on the Quimper Peninsula. He grew up in Friday Harbor, Port Angeles, and finally Port Townsend, Washington, where he excelled in sports and graduated from high school.

Career
After attending Washington State College for three and a half years, in 1922 he began work with the Washington Department of Highways engineering department. After holding public sector positions in Port Townsend and Jefferson County, Washington, and working in the private sector in Oregon and California, he was recruited by Washington Governor Arthur B. Langlie to head the state's Department of Highways. As the Director of Highways in Washington state (1949–1963) he oversaw the design and completion of some of the state's most ambitious transportation projects including the Astoria–Megler Bridge a  span that crosses the Columbia River near its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. In 1953 he was recruited to fill the same position in the state of California, but declined, stating his wish to complete projects in Washington. In 1963, however, he resigned his Washington position to become the project director in charge of design and construction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit project in San Francisco, California.  In 1990, William was granted an honorary bachelor's degree from Washington State University and recognized as a distinguished alumnus, a status that had been granted to only 19 others in the history of the university.

Later years
Bugge retired in 1973 and died in Olympia, Washington nearly two decades later. In 1977 the Hood Canal Bridge, one of the projects he oversaw in Washington, was officially renamed the "William A. Bugge Bridge" in his honor.

Avia Vehicles. Avia was the brand name under which the commercial vehicles built by Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. (AISA) a company that was founded in Madrid in 1956, originally as an aircraft repairing organization, later started to manufacture their own new light vans and FC pickup trucks. However they were taken over in 1970 by another Spanish large manufacturer called EBRO Motor Iberica based in industrial Barcelona. From 1970 on, all vehicles were renamed and known as AVIA-Ebro employing modern engineering and new mechanicals. 

AISA had been primarily a maker of light aircraft, but in the late 50s switched, with some success, to producing road vehicles. Those were mainly light vans, trucks and buses using Perkins Hispania diesel engines. They  launched their first four wheeled truck within the 1500 KG to 11000 KG gross weight categories. Also available was an 18-28-seater bus/coach model, both of which were part of the model range in the 1950s and 1960s.

One of the most interesting applications of Avia trucks was the Klöckner Humboldt Deutz Spanish subsidiary designed Avia-Deutz firefighting engine. Based on an Avia 3500L chassis-cab, it featured an air-cooled Deutz engine equipped with German Magirus firefighting equipment.

In the early 70s, AISA was taken over by its main competitor Motor Iberica, manufacturer of the Ebro range of commercial vehicles, and gradually Avia vehicles became little more than badge engineered Ebros. All new models were now called AVIA-EBRO. When Nissan Motors of Japan took over Motor Iberica in the 1980s, the Avia brand name had disappeared. Several AVIA-EBRO 3500L Diesel models are still in daily use and can be occasionally spotted in Spain, normally employed in agriculture and industrial activities. Both AVIA and AVIA-EBRO brands are still in use.

Avia trucks were used by the Spanish Armed Police in their anti-riot operations.

Ceramic resonator. A ceramic resonator is an electronic component consisting of a piece of a piezoelectric ceramic material with two or more metal electrodes attached. When connected in an electronic oscillator circuit, resonant mechanical vibrations in the device generate an oscillating signal of a specific frequency.  Like the similar quartz crystal, they are used in oscillators for purposes such as generating the clock signal used to control timing in computers and other digital logic devices, or generating the carrier signal in analog radio transmitters and receivers.

Ceramic resonators are made of high-stability piezoelectric ceramics, generally lead zirconate titanate (PZT) which functions as a mechanical resonator.  In operation, mechanical vibrations induce an oscillating voltage in the attached electrodes due to the piezoelectricity of the material.  The thickness of the ceramic substrate determines the resonant frequency of the device.

Packages 
A typical ceramic resonator package has either two or three connections. The two pin devices are typically just the resonators themselves, while three and sometimes four pin devices are filters, often used in AM and FM broadcast radios as well as many other RF applications. They come in both surface-mount and through-hole varieties with a number of different footprints.  The oscillation takes place across two of the pins (connections). The third pin (if present; typically the center pin) is connected to ground.

Applications 
Ceramic resonators can be used as the source of the clock signal for digital circuits such as microprocessors where the frequency accuracy is not critical.  Quartz has a 0.001% frequency tolerance, while PZT has a 0.5% tolerance.

They are used in timing circuitry for a wide array of applications such as TVs, VCRs, automotive electronic devices, telephones, copiers, cameras, voice synthesizers, communication equipment, remote controls and toys.  A ceramic resonator is often used in place of quartz crystals as a reference clock or signal generator in electronic circuitry due to its low cost and smaller size.

The lower Q and higher frequency range achievable can be beneficial in use of TCXOs, temperature-compensated crystal oscillators. The frequency of the oscillator can be "pulled" in wider range than with high-Q crystal. This allows wider range of adjustments, which may be critical in devices operating in extreme (especially low) temperatures where the crystal's own temperature-frequency dependence could take it outside of the pullable range for the desired frequency.

Ceramic filters 
Ceramic resonators look similar to ceramic filters. Ceramic filters are frequently used in the IF stages of superheterodyne receivers. Originally ceramic filters were used as very low cost filters for broadcast radio receivers, both medium wave sets with typical IFs of 455 kHz and FM broadcast sets with IF stages at around 10.7 MHz. However, as the performance has significantly improved, they are used in many other RF applications as well.

Rolls-Royce Soar. The Rolls-Royce RB.93 Soar, also given the Ministry of Supply designation RSr., was a small, expendable British axial-flow turbojet intended for cruise missile use and built by Rolls-Royce Limited in the 1950s and 1960s. Like all the company's gas turbine engines it was named after a British river, in this case, the River Soar.

Design and development
The Soar was developed in the early 1950s, and was demonstrated at the Farnborough Airshow in 1953 on each wingtip of a Gloster Meteor flying testbed. It was the smallest aero-engine ever made by Rolls-Royce and was an extremely simple engine with very few parts. Its starting and control systems were almost non-existent. Lessons learned in producing the Soar at low weight and cost would be applied to the next light-weight engine, the RB108 lift engine. 
 
As a cruise-missile expendable powerplant the Soar engine had a design life of 10 hours for a Red Rapier flight time of about 1 hour (range 400 nautical miles at 475 knots).

Applications
It was to be the intended powerplant for the "Red Rapier" missile project one of the projects coming from the UB.109T operational requirement. Red Rapier was to be built by Vickers-Armstrong Ltd, Weybridge, Surrey as the Vickers 825. Development was cancelled in 1953. Three Soar engines were used on this design, two on the tips of the tailplane, and one on the tip of the fin. One-third scale models without engines were built and air launched from a Washington bomber (the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in RAF service) on the Woomera missile range to test the aerodynamics and autopilot operation.

As the Westinghouse J81 it was a powerplant for the US AQM-35 missile  

It was employed as an auxiliary powerplant for the Italian Aerfer Ariete fighter design and also considered as a JATO powerplant for other aircraft.

The Soar project was cancelled in March 1965, at a reported total cost of £1.2 million.

Betti's theorem. Betti's theorem,  also known as Maxwell–Betti reciprocal work theorem, discovered by Enrico Betti in 1872, states that for a linear elastic structure subject to two sets of forces {Pi} i=1,...,n and {Qj}, j=1,2,...,n, the work done by the set P through the displacements produced by the set Q is equal to the work done by the set Q through the displacements produced by the set P. This theorem has applications in structural engineering where it is used to define influence lines and derive the boundary element method.

Betti's theorem is used in the design of compliant mechanisms by topology optimization approach.

Proof
Consider a solid body subjected to a pair of external force systems, referred to as  and .  Consider that each force system causes a displacement field, with the displacements measured at the external force's point of application referred to as  and .

When the  force system is applied to the structure, the balance between the work performed by the external force system and the strain energy is:

The work-energy balance associated with the  force system is as follows:

Now, consider that with the  force system applied, the  force system is applied subsequently.  As the  is already applied and therefore won't cause any extra displacement, the work-energy balance assumes the following expression:

Conversely, if we consider the  force system already applied and the  external force system applied subsequently, the work-energy balance will assume the following expression:

If the work-energy balance for the cases where the external force systems are applied in isolation are respectively subtracted from the cases where the force systems are applied simultaneously, we arrive at the following equations:

If the solid body where the force systems are applied is formed by a linear elastic material and if the force systems are such that only infinitesimal strains are observed in the body, then the body's constitutive equation, which may follow Hooke's law, can be expressed in the following manner:

Replacing this result in the previous set of equations leads us to the following result:

If we subtract both equations then we obtain the following result:

Example
For a simple example let m=1 and n=1.  Consider a horizontal beam on which two points have been defined: point 1 and point 2.  First we apply a vertical force P at point 1 and measure the vertical displacement of point 2, denoted .  Next we remove force P and apply a vertical force Q at point 2, which produces the vertical displacement at point 1 of .  Betti's reciprocity theorem states that:
