Bingen Technical University of Applied Sciences. The Bingen Technical University of Applied Sciences (German: Technische Hochschule Bingen) is a university located in Bingen am Rhein, Germany. It was founded in 1897. The University of Applied Sciences Bingen consists of two faculties: the faculty of life sciences and engineering and the faculty of technology, informatics and business.

History

The University of Applied Sciences Bingen was established in 1897 as the private Rheinisches Technikum in Bingen in Bingen am Rhein, with Hermann Hoepke as founding director and owner. In 1908, around 600 students were enrolled in mechanical and electrical engineering courses. During and immediately after World War I, teaching was moved to local schools, as the Technikum site was in use as a military hospital and then until 1920 as an administrative building. By 1923, student numbers have risen to 900, of which 600 were studying mechanical engineering and 300 were studying electrical engineering. After the death of founder Hoepke in 1928, the Technikum initially remained in the ownership of the Hoepke family, but faced financial difficulties due to a reduction in student numbers, which fell from 689 in 1928 to less than 200 in 1935. In 1939, the German Labour Front purchased the institution from the Hoepke family as well as the building itself from the municipality of Bingen as the previous landlord of the Technikum. 

After damage incurred to the building during World War II, the college was reincorporated as Rheinische Ingenieurschule Bingen in 1946, lectures resumed in various locations around town. The Technikum site was rebuilt by 1954. In 1964, the school was renamed Staatliche Rheinische Ingenieurschule, and in 1971 it was incorporated as Abteilung Bingen into the newly founded Fachhochschule Rheinland-Pfalz, together with an agricultural college, the Ingenieurschule für Landbau in Bad Kreuznach. In 1987, a new site was inaugurated in the neighbouring town of Büdesheim, which had been incorporated into Bingen in 1929. In 1996, the Fachhochschule Rheinland-Pfalz was dissolved, and the college gained independence as the Fachhochschule Bingen. In 2016, the college took on its current name of Technische Hochschule Bingen, and in 2017 the original site of the Technikum was named Hermann-Hoepke-Technikum.

Bagalini Bagaliante. The Bagalini Bagaliante (a portmanteau of "Bagalini" and "Glider") is an Italian high-wing, strut-braced, single-seat, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear motor glider that was designed by Marino Bagalini and made available as plans for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Bagaliante is constructed from wood and metal and is of pod-and-boom layout.

The  span wing employs a Göttingen 535 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to an NACA 4412 section at the wingtip. The wing uses a semi-tapered planform, tapering outboard of the mid-span point. The specified engine is a  Rotax 277 two-stroke aircraft engine, mounted aft of the cockpit and driving a pusher propeller mounted above the tail boom. The fixed mainwheels  are located beside the fuselage on small sponsons.

Even with the small Rotax 277 fitted, the takeoff and landing distance is 

The estimated time to build the aircraft from the plans is 700 hours.

Wairakite. Wairakite is a zeolite mineral with an analcime structure but containing a calcium ion. The chemical composition is Ca8(Al16Si32O96)•16H2O. It is named for the location of its discovery in Wairakei, North Island, New Zealand, by Czechoslovakian mineralogist Alfred Steiner in 1955.  The first finds were in hydrothermally altered rhyolitic tuffs, ignimbrites and volcaniclastic rocks. The mineral has since been found in metamorphic rocks and in geothermal areas. It was most likely first successfully synthesized in a laboratory in 1970.

Voltage portal. A voltage portal extends a voltage source to the outside of an electrical enclosure in an encapsulated non-conductive housing designed for a Non-contact voltage detector (NCVD) to sense voltage if placed into the voltage portal.

Overview
A voltage portal avoids voltage exposure for workers by extending the voltage source points to the outside of electrical enclosures. Each voltage point resides in an encapsulated non-conductive housing designed to ensure that a NCVD senses voltage if placed into the voltage portal (Fig. 1). Because a voltage portal contains live voltage and mounts on the outside of an electrical enclosure, it must be robust to ensure long term safety. The UL enclosure type rating of the voltage portal must also match the enclosure rating.

Maintenance work
Many maintenance workers carry NCVD pens or AC voltage detectors in their tool belts. This portable device allows workers to quickly check electrical conductors for live voltage without actually touching the bare wire. The NCVD can sense voltage when positioned close to the live conductor without making a hard-wired electrical connection. A voltage portal is used to assist workers in creating an electrically safe work condition as part of a lockout-tagout procedure before beginning work on electrical or mechanical equipment.

Levingston Shipbuilding Company. Levingston Shipbuilding Company was a shipbuilding company at Orange, Texas on the Sabine River founded by George Levingston. During World War II Levingston Shipbuilding Company built ships for the United States Naval Station Orange also on the Sabine River. George Levingston also purchased major shares of Joseph Weaver and Son Shipyard, also on the Sabine River. The company was started by Samuel H. Levingston in 1859.

Ships 

First ship completed was in 1925, last ship was in 1982, as the company was sold to the company's CEO, Ed Paden.

Historical marker

At the site of Levingston Shipbuilding Company is a historical marker that reads:

In 1859, three brothers, Samuel, David and John Levingston, arrived in Orange from Ireland and purchased an existing shipyard, where they built wooden ships for more than thirty years. The some of Samuel Levingston, "Captain" George Levingston, established his own shipbuilding business in 1919-1920. In 1930, Levingston purchased five acres at Front and Mill Streets in Orange, enlarging his operation, and Levingston Shipbuilding Company operated from this location for the remainder of its existence. Incorporation in 1933 sustained the company during the slow economic times of the 1930s. Edward T. Malloy was hired in 1939 as a general manager, and stayed with the company for thirty-seven years, becoming president of the company when he bought the controlling interest in 1945.

World War II brought a vast influx of business--the company had begun construction of military vessels before the United States entered the war, and continued to be a major supplier for the Army and Navy during the duration. Levingston Shipbuilding delivered its first vessel for the war effort, a 530-ton steel tugboat named Tuscarora on December 13, 1941.  Between 1941 and 1945, Levinston built and delivered a total of 160 vessels for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army including tugs, tankers, barges and ocean going rescue tugs. After World War II, Levingston Shipbuilding changed with the economic times and became a worldwide leader in the design, engineering and construction of off-shore drilling rigs, jack-up platforms, and self-propelled drilling ships. Levingston Shipbuilding was the only U.S. builder of all five types of offshore drilling rigs until it ceased operations in 1985.

Among the Drilling Ships built in the mid-seventies was the Glomar Java Sea built for Global Marine. Jack up Rigs for Diamond 'M' included the Diamond 'M' Gem. Ashland Chemical Company purchased the yard thereafter and built drilling rigs for their own operations.

Kyushu K10W. The Kyushu K10W Type 2 land-based intermediate trainer (Allied reporting name Oak) was a single engine, low wing fixed undercarriage monoplane training aircraft which served in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service in the latter part of World War II.

Design and development
It was designed by the Kyushu Aircraft Company to the 14-Shi Intermediate Trainer specification of mid-1939, which required a design similar to the North American NA-16 following the Mitsubishi's purchase of an NA-16-4R and an NA-16-4RW on behalf of the Japanese Navy. Design work commenced in January 1940, and the first prototype was ready by April 1941. Despite the similarity of the K10W to other contemporary Japanese aircraft, such as the Tachikawa Ki-55 and Mitsubishi Ki-51, it suffered from stall and stability problems that resulted in sixteen pre-production testing aircraft being built. Work at Kyuhsu on the Q1W maritime patrol bomber and K11W carrier crew trainer were given a higher priority. Kyushu would build only nine production aircraft before production was transferred in 1943 to Nippon Hikoki (a small company that did a lot of subcontract work), who, in turn, built 150 examples before production ended in August 1944.

The Japanese had purchased two NA-16's, and Western sources have long believed that the K10W1 was a development of these. However, a close study of the "Oak", as it was code named by the Allies, shows that they shared nothing beyond a similar configuration. Whereas the NA-16's featured a steel tube structure covered with metal or fabric panels, the K10W1 was of flush riveted stressed skin construction throughout (excepting the fabric covered control surfaces) with a slightly smaller wingspan, narrower chord wings, a longer fuselage, and a higher aspect ratio tailplane. The entire cockpit was further forward, and the wings were swept forward rather than aft as on the NA-16. In addition, controls were run internally, and footrests retracted rather than being fixed. A version of the K10W built from wood was planned as the K10W2 but was never built.

Operational service
The K10W1 was not popular with crews, possibly due to ongoing handling problems, and only served with a small number of units, which included the Oi, Go, Takarazuka, and 81st Kokutais (Naval Air Groups) as trainers. Japanese records do not show that any were used for Kamikaze attacks, although a small number were definitely used as target tugs for gunnery training and as unit hacks attached to operational bases, where they probably assisted in getting new pilots up to speed.

Symbols and conventions used in welding documentation. The symbols and conventions used in welding documentation are specified in national and international standards such as ISO 2553 Welded, brazed and soldered joints -- Symbolic representation on drawings and ISO 4063 Welding and allied processes -- Nomenclature of processes and reference numbers. The US standard symbols are outlined by the American National Standards Institute and the American Welding Society and are noted as "ANSI/AWS". Due in part to the growth of the oil industry, this symbol set was used during the 1990s in about 50% of the world's welding operations. An ISO committee sought to establish a global standard during this decade.

In engineering drawings, each weld is conventionally identified by an arrow which points to the joint to be welded.  The arrow is annotated with letters, numbers and symbols which indicate the exact specification of the weld. In complex applications, such as those involving alloys other than mild steel, more information may be called for than can comfortably be indicated using the symbols alone. Annotations are used in these cases.

Component elements

In the US, the component elements of the weld specification are:
 The reference line - the body of the arrow which is the baseline for the specification.
 The arrow tip which goes at an angle to the reference line, pointing to the joint to be welded.
 The tail which goes at the other end of the reference line.
 The basic welding symbol which goes on the reference line to indicate the shape of the weld such as a fillet or plug.  The symbol is placed on the arrow side or other side of the line to indicate which side of the joint the weld goes.
 The dimensions and other numbers such as the length of the weld or number of spot welds go above and below the reference line.
 Supplementary symbols go at the junction of the reference line and the arrow tip.  One  such symbol is a circle to indicate an all-around weld, which goes on every side of the joint.
 Finish symbols go above the reference line to indicate the surface contour or finish of the weld such as flush, convex or concave.
 Letters indicating the welding process are placed at the tail end, such as AHW for atomic hydrogen welding.  Further examples include:

Abbreviations for welding processes

If a particular welding process needs to be indicated in addition to the symbols, the following abbreviations are commonly used in North America:
