Triply periodic minimal surface. In differential geometry, a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) is a minimal surface in  that is invariant under a rank-3 lattice of translations.

These surfaces have the symmetries of a crystallographic group. Numerous examples are known with cubic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, and orthorhombic symmetries. Monoclinic and triclinic examples are certain to exist, but have proven hard to parametrise.

TPMS are of relevance in natural science. TPMS have been observed as biological membranes, as block copolymers, equipotential surfaces in crystals etc. They have also been of interest in architecture, design and art.

Properties 

Nearly all studied TPMS are free of self-intersections (i.e. embedded in ): from a mathematical standpoint they are the most interesting (since self-intersecting surfaces are trivially abundant).

All connected TPMS have genus ≥ 3, and in every lattice there exist orientable embedded TPMS of every genus ≥3.

Embedded TPMS are orientable and divide space into two disjoint sub-volumes (labyrinths). If they are congruent the surface is said to be a balance surface.

History 

The first examples of TPMS were the surfaces described by Schwarz in 1865, followed by a surface described by his student E. R. Neovius in 1883.

In 1970 Alan Schoen came up with 12 new TPMS based on skeleton graphs spanning crystallographic cells.
 While Schoen's surfaces became popular in natural science the construction did not lend itself to a mathematical existence proof and remained largely unknown in mathematics, until H. Karcher proved their existence in 1989.

Using conjugate surfaces many more surfaces were found. While Weierstrass representations are known for the simpler examples, they are not known for many surfaces. Instead methods from Discrete differential geometry are often used.

Families 

The classification of TPMS is an open problem.

TPMS often come in families that can be continuously deformed into each other. Meeks found an explicit 5-parameter family for genus 3 TPMS that contained all then known examples of genus 3 surfaces except the gyroid. Members of this family can be continuously deformed into each other, remaining embedded in the process (although the lattice may change). The gyroid and lidinoid are each inside a separate 1-parameter family.

Another approach to classifying TPMS is to examine their space groups. For surfaces containing lines the possible boundary polygons can be enumerated, providing a classification.

Generalisations 

Periodic minimal surfaces can be constructed in S3 and H3.

It is possible to generalise the division of space into labyrinths to find triply periodic (but possibly branched) minimal surfaces that divide space into more than two sub-volumes.

Quasiperiodic minimal surfaces have been constructed in . It has been suggested but not been proven that minimal surfaces with a quasicrystalline order in  exist.

Sherman Creek Generating Station. The Sherman Creek Generating Station was a coal-fired power plant built by the United Electric Light and Power Company in New York City, on Manhattan Island at 201st Street and the Harlem River.  The station supplied power to many customers, including the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad via the West Farms Substation.

The station site was bounded by 201st Street to the north, the Harlem River to the East, and Sherman Creek to the South.  United Electric Light and Power was later absorbed into Consolidated Edison, and the station was demolished.  The site is now occupied by an enclosed ConEd substation.

Bethanization. Bethanization is a process patented by the Bethlehem Steel Company to protect steel from corrosion by plating it with zinc, a process similar to electrogalvanization. In advertising materials, Bethlehem Steel claimed the process was more effective than hot dip galvanization, the most common means of using zinc to protect steel.

The process is similar to that of electrolytic sulfuric acid zinc plating, with few differences from bethanization. The electrolytic sulfuric acid zinc plating process uses zinc anodes, while bethanization uses inert mild steel anodes instead. The electrolytes used are manufactured by using zinc oxide dross, and dissolving it in sulfuric acid.

In 1936, Bethlehem Steel spent $30 million (1936 dollars) to build a factory in Johnstown, Pennsylvania capable of creating large amounts of Bethanized wire.

Material Properties 
Uniformity - The zinc coating surrounding the wire is tightly bonded to the steel and uniformly distributed; weak spots on the wire will not be found.

Ductility - Bethanizing steel with 99.9 percent zinc, bonds them together tightly without any room for layers of zinc iron alloy. Zinc iron alloy is a brittle substance that induces cracking, leaving steel at critical points exposed. The zinc coating is more ductile and less brittle. 

Resistance to corrosion and fatigue - Bethanized wire is claimed to have protection against corrosion and corrosion fatigue equal to that of hot-galvanized steel wire.

Strength - Wire that has been bethanized has breaking strengths claimed to be around 90 percent of bright wire strength.

Use in fencing 
Bethanization was applied to outdoor mesh-wire fence by the Bethlehem Steel company in the 1930s. By coating wire with purer zinc, the wire is no longer contaminated with iron unlike previous processes such as galvanization, which the company claims gives wire more durability while still retaining ductility, and also be resistant to sulfur gases that are present in Earth's atmosphere. Other fencing applications that have been bethanized by the Bethlehem Steel Company include:
 Barbed wire
 Gates
 Fence posts
 Bale ties

The New Cool (book). The New Cool: A Visionary Teacher, His FIRST Robotics Team, and the Ultimate Battle of Smarts is a 2011 non-fiction narrative book by American writer Neal Bascomb. It follows four FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams through the course of the 2009 season. Its main subject, however, is Team 1717 and the exploits of its students and its head mentor Amir Abo-Shaeer; the other teams followed were teams 217, 395, and 67, from Sterling Heights, Michigan, New York City, and Milford, Michigan respectively.

Summary
The book begins with a prologue set at the 2009 FIRST Championship in Atlanta and describes the exciting environment there. It then switches back to the kickoff event in January 2009 and describes Dean Kamen and how he founded FIRST. Afterwards, it details the history of team 1717 and the program that it is a part of, the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy. Then the book describes how the 2009 team winds its way through a 6-week build season, enduring many struggles from mechanical failures to a bout of sickness. A chapter is dedicated to team 217, the Thunderchickens, who attempt to construct a robot with military style precision, and to team 395, 2TrainRobotics, whose students must deal with issues related to being in the poor inner city, as well as to team 67, Heroes of Tomorrow. After the build season, team 1717 competes in two regional competitions, Los Angeles and Sacramento. The team loses in the finals at Los Angeles, and wins in Sacramento after going undefeated. 1717 then competes in the FIRST Championship, where it loses to a heavily favored team, 111 WildStang, in the division finals.

Reviews
Science historian Robert P. Crease wrote in the Wall Street Journal that The New Cool "is effective in capturing the students' loyalty, dedication and ingenuity." Popular book blog Bookin' with Bingo called The New Cool "an important book for everyone but especially those who are interested in our educational goals for today and the future." FIRST has promoted the book at the FRC kickoff and its regional competitions. James Floyd Kelly of Wired stated that "any students or adults considering jumping into FRC for the first time should read this book."

Kate Vander Wiede of the Christian Science Monitor panned the book, stating that "the book fails to resonate" and "doesn't do...justice" to FIRST or Team 1717.

Film adaptation
According to Dean Kamen at the FIRST Championship, a screenplay based on the book is being written. The rights to the book have been optioned to Scott Rudin through the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group. The film is being directed by Michael Bacall.

Perceptual trap. A perceptual trap is an ecological scenario in which environmental change, typically anthropogenic, leads an organism to avoid an otherwise high-quality habitat. The concept is related to that of an ecological trap, in which environmental change causes preference towards a low-quality habitat.

History
In a 2004 article discussing source–sink dynamics, James Battin did not distinguish between high-quality habitats that are preferred or avoided, labelling both "sources". The latter scenario, in which a high-quality habitat is avoided, was first recognised as an important phenomenon in 2007 by Gilroy and Sutherland, who described them as "undervalued resources". The term "perceptual trap" was first proposed by Michael Patten and Jeffrey Kelly in a 2010 article. Hans Van Dyck argues that the term is misleading because perception is also a major component in other cases of trapping.

Description
Animals use discrete environmental cues to select habitat. A perceptual trap occurs if change in an environmental cue leads an organism to avoid a high-quality habitat. It differs, therefore, from simple habitat avoidance, which may be a correct decision given the habitat's quality. The concept of a perceptual trap is related to that of an ecological trap, in which environmental change causes preference towards a low-quality habitat. There is expected to be strong natural selection against ecological traps, but not necessarily against perceptual traps, as Allee effects may restrict a population’s ability to establish itself.

Examples

To support the concept of a perceptual trap, Patten and Kelly cited a study of the lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus). The species' natural environment, shinnery oak grassland, is often treated with the herbicide tebuthiuron to increase grass cover for cattle grazing. Herbicide treatment resulted in less shrub cover, a habitat cue that caused female lesser prairie-chickens to avoid the habitat in favour of untreated areas. However, females who nested in  herbicide-treated areas achieved comparable nesting successes and clutch sizes to those in untreated areas. Patten and Kelly suggest that the adverse effects of tebuthiuron treatment on nesting success are countered by various effects, such as greater nest concealment through increased grass cover. Therefore, female birds are erroneously avoiding a high-quality habitat. Patten and Kelly also cited as a possible perceptual trap the cases of the spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) and rufous-crowned sparrow (Aimophila ruficeps), which tend to avoid habitat fragments, even though birds nesting in habitat fragments achieve increased nesting success due to a reduction in snake predation.

Geoffrey Barrows. Geoffrey Louis Barrows (born 1970) is an American inventor and the founder of Centeye, a company that specializes in the development of insect vision for robotics. In 2003 he was recognized as a Young Innovator by being included in the MIT Technology Review's TR100 list. Barrows owns more than six patents for his technology.

Geoffrey Barrows has developed innovative optic-flow sensors to allow both aerial and ground vehicles to travel autonomously, by using the same techniques living creatures such as flying insects do to gauge their altitude and proximity to obstacles in their path.

Early life and education 
Geoffrey was born in Sacramento, California, United States in 1970. As his father was a career officer with the United States Air Force, his family moved frequently, with stops in Massachusetts, Alabama, Nebraska, New York, and Germany. Barrows spent 6 years in Germany as a pre-teen before his family settled in Washington, D.C.,(farafax, Virginia) US.

He holds a BS in applied mathematics from the University of Virginia, an MS in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park.

Career 
Before starting his own company Centeye, Inc. in 2000, he was working with  the United States Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. as a research engineer. His company develops bio-inspired microelectronics. Centeye is commercializing optic-flow sensors designed to help unmanned aerial vehicles navigate autonomously by endowing them with the kind of depth perception exhibited by flying insects.

Using standard hobbyist components to build the models, Barrows has constructed toy-like aircraft with complete vision systems – imaging chips and all processors included – that consume a small fraction of a watt of power, with each sensor weighing less than two-tenths of an ounce and the complete aircraft only around 3.5 ounces.

He has open sourced the Arudeye board, a tiny Arduino board with camera built-in.

Recognition/Awards
 In 2003, he was named to the MIT Technology Review's TR100 as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.
 In 2008, he was profiled as Inventor of the Week by Lemelson- MIT Inventor program for implementing optical flow sensor on micro air vehicles. 
 His company received a $1,000 grant at the TandemNSI expo in 2015.
 He was listed as a "Trending 40" Federal Innovator and Entrepreneur in 2015.
