Bavarian C V. The Class C V (pronounced C 5) of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn) was one of the first European express train locomotives with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. 

In 1896 Maffei built a steam locomotive for the Bavarian state exhibition at their own expense. It had coupled wheels with a 1,640 mm diameter and was therefore regarded as a multi-purpose locomotive. After the exhibition the Bavarian State Railway purchased this locomotive and, after thorough testing, ordered more engines of this type, albeit in a stronger version and with a 1,870 mm coupled wheel diameter, i.e. as genuine express train locomotives. Between 1899 and 1901 Maffei supplied 42 examples.

The C V had a four-cylinder de Glehn compound engine. Its low-pressure cylinders were external, operating on the second coupled axle, and were located between the bogie and the first coupled axle. The high-pressure cylinders were internal and worked the first coupled axle. The engines still lacked a superheater. In terms of its power (160 tons at top speed), the C V could only be used for a few years in heavy express train services. As early as 1903 the locomotives were relegated to secondary duties, but even there they did not stay long.

17 machines had to be given to France after World War I. The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the remaining 22 examples as the DRG Class 17.3 with numbers 17 301 to 17 322. They were retired by 1930.

The vehicles were equipped with Bavarian 2'2' T 21,5 tenders.

Bavarian S 2/5 (Vauclain). The Class S 2/5 locomotives operated by the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staats-Eisenbahnen) included two express train, steam locomotives of American origin which were fitted with Vauclain compound engines.

In order to understand the design fundamentals of American locomotives, which were not well known in Germany at the time, the Bavarian State Railway imported, in 1899 and 1900, four locomotives manufactured by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the USA. Following the two Class E I, Consolidation, goods train locomotives delivered in 1899 with a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, were two Atlantic 4-4-2 express train locomotives. These were typical American locomotives, with a boiler and running gear identical with those of the Class A-1 locomotives on the Milwaukee Road. Even the wheelbase on the two classes of locomotive was almost identical, albeit the driving wheels of the Bavarian locomotives, at 1,829 mm diameter, were smaller than those of the A2 (1,981 mm), so that they were about a ton lighter overall (at that time the usual axle loads in the USA were not significantly higher than in Europe).

The locomotives had a four-cylinder, Vauclain compound engine, whereby  the high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders were located one directly above the other and worked on a common Pleuel connecting rod. The advantage of this design was that no internal gear was needed that would have been difficult to access and which would have needed expensive cranked axles.

Whilst this type of running gear did not catch on with the state railway or more generally within Europe, several advantages to the American sectional frame were identified, including better accessibility to an internally arranged running gear. As a result, this type of frame was also made use of on the batch of ten S 2/5 locomotives built by Maffei in 1904 as well as all later Bavarian four-cylinder compound locomotives. However, they differed from their American counterparts in that they were given inside cylinders and a cranked axle.

The two Baldwin locomotives remained in service until after World War I under running numbers 2398 and 2399. In the Deutsche Reichsbahn's provisional renumbering plan at the beginning of the 1920s, the two locomotives were still included, as numbers 14 131 and 14 132, but a little while later they were retired. Of note in this connection is that their American prototypes were still in service until the end of the 1930s, following their rebuild into a two-cylinder superheated configuration.

List of United States Marine Corps combat logistics companies. A combat logistics company (CLC) is a logistics unit of the United States Marine Corps that is based at a Marine Corps air station. Formerly known as combat service support companies, they provide intermediate supply support and intermediate motor transport and engineer ground equipment maintenance to their Marine Aircraft Wings (MAWs); operate the Aerial Port of Embarkation/Debarkation (APOE/D) under the guidance of the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF); and provide personnel to the Fleet Assistance Program (FAP) in support of legal, postal, exchange, security (military police), personnel administration, freight/passenger transportation (TMO) and bulk fuel support for their respective Marine Corps air station.

Organization 
Combat logistics companies fall under the command of a combat logistics regiment within the Marine Logistics Group. Companies are not provided to air stations in proximity to a larger logistics unit (such as Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton).

Combat logistics companies provide intermediate ground logistics support to aviation units, to include supply and maintenance beyond organic capabilities.

BAE Systems Mantis. The BAE Systems Mantis Unmanned Autonomous System Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrator is a British demonstrator programme for Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) technology.  The Mantis is a twin-engine, turboprop-powered UCAV with a wingspan of approximately 22 m, broadly comparable to the MQ-9 Reaper. Other partners involved in Phase 1 of the Mantis programme include the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, GE Aviation, L-3 Wescam, Meggitt and Lola.

Design and development

Development of the Mantis started in late 2007, with a mockup being revealed at the 2008 Farnborough International Air Show. The Phase 1 Mantis vehicle is powered by two Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboprop engines, although this is likely to change in later variants. The Mantis is intended to have at least 24-hour operational endurance and is an autonomous vehicle, able to pilot itself and plot its own course, communicating with personnel on the ground regarding its observations.

Phase 1 is intended to demonstrate BAE Systems' rapid prototyping capabilities and will focus on the evaluation of autonomous control systems. Later phases may evaluate civilian applications, armed variants and sensor packages.

The large dome on the front, reminiscent of a pilot's canopy, actually contains an upward facing satellite communications system.

The prototype first flew on 21 October 2009 at the Woomera Test Range in South Australia.

In 2013 the Mantis was flight tested in the United Kingdom. It was used as the basis for the BAE/Dassault Telemos, the development of which was discontinued.

John P. Costas (engineer). John Peter Costas (1923 in Wabash, Indiana – August 9, 2008) was an American electrical engineer. Costas invented, among other things, the Costas loop and Costas arrays.

Biography
Costas studied at Purdue University as an undergraduate. During World War II, he was involved in radar engineering, serving in the U.S. Navy as a radar officer. He was a graduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he worked on interference filtering 
and linear systems coding.
While there, he worked with Norbert Wiener, R. M. Fano, J. B. Wiesner and Y. W. Lee. He worked for General Electric from 1951 until the early 1980s, and for Cogent Systems, Inc. He was retired since then, and died on August 9, 2008.

Work
Costas is probably best known for his 1950s invention of the Costas loop, a modified phase locked loop that recovers the "suppressed" carrier in many digital communications receivers. It had "a profound effect on modern digital communications"
In the 1960s, he helped solve the mystery concerning poor performance of sonar systems. He found that the rapidly time-varying channel made coherent processing inappropriate. His solution involved a kind of permutation array, now known as a Costas array, which has ideal properties for the problem.

Costas was made a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1965 for "contributions to communications theory and techniques."

Publications 
Among Costas' most notable publications are the following,
 1984, "A Study of a Class of Detection Waveforms Having Nearly Ideal Range-Doppler Ambiguity Properties" in Proc. IEEE, vol. 72, no. 8, pp.996-1009, Aug. 1984.
 1975 "Medium constraints on sonar design and performance". Technical Report Class 1 Rep. R65EMH33, GE Co., 1965. a synopsis of this report appeared in the Eascon. Conv. Rec., 1975, pp. 68A—68L
 1966 "Project Medior – A medium-oriented approach to sonar signal processing". Lockheed Martin Marine Systems and Sensors, 1966.
 1956 "Synchronous Communications". In Proceedings of the IEEE, December 1956. Republished in same journal in Vol 90, no. 8, August 2002 as classic paper.

Robert MacGregor (engineer). Robert MacGregor was a British engineer, who, during the 1920s, concerned over unnecessary losses of North Sea colliers, developed the first steel hatch cover.

The design was simple and consisted of five articulated leaves that stowed neatly at the end of each hatch. Patented in 1929, the steel hatch improved ship and cargo safety and had a lasting impact on cargo care.

In 1937, to promote and sell his steel hatch covers, Robert MacGregor and his brother Joseph formed MacGregor & Company in Whitley Bay on the north-east coast of England.
