Tough rubber-sheathed cable. Tough rubber-sheathed cable is a type of cable which normally consists of a black outer sheath of rubber with several conductors inside. The rubber provides an abrasion-resistant, corrosion-resistant, waterproof, protective covering for an insulated electric cable.

Though obsolete for domestic use, it is used for flexible cables when greater mechanical toughness than PVC is required such as temporary electrical wiring at events where the cable is standardised as Cenelec code H07RN-F (H07 for short)

The American National Electrical Code, for theater use, requires (article 520.68(A).1) cables to be "extra hard usage" rated, and such cable is generally known in the US as SOOW cable. Cables meeting the SOOW spec can also be manufactured to be rated as H07RN-F, so-called "harmonised" cable, and such cable can be used both in the US and Europe.

Wings of Glory. Wings of Glory is a World War I combat flight simulator video game for DOS, developed by Origin Systems and published by Electronic Arts in 1995. The game uses Origin's RealSpace engine, which was first used in their earlier flight simulator Strike Commander.

Gameplay
The player begins the game as an American novice newly arrived in England who must take part in numerous missions, which involve taking off, completing certain objectives, then returning to base. The various planes that can be piloted are realistic for the time period; the starting plane is a lowly Sopwith Pup, with more advanced planes becoming available as the game progresses. Each plane has its own machine gun and some are able to drop bombs. The gameplay is primarily in first-person with an option to switch to third-person.

In addition to the main campaign there is a Gauntlet mode where the objective is to survive for as long as possible against a constant wave of enemies. There is also a level designer where the player can create their own missions.

Reception
PC Gamer gave it a score of 92%, saying, "Wings of Glory isn't just the most realistic-feeling World War I flight sim on the market, it's also a carefully crafted homage to the great aerial epics of the '20s and '30s" and "Quibbles aside, Origin has given us another superb product in Wings of Glory". Computer Gaming World gave it a score of 90%, noting that a post-release patch fixed a lot of the initial complaints. In general, the game was praised for its visuals, audio and storytelling, with criticisms falling on the sluggish controls and difficulty of flying (much of which was addressed in a patch).

BAT Baboon. The BAT F.K.24 Baboon was a British two-seat training biplane produced by British Aerial Transport Company Limited of London during World War I.

Design and development
Using experience gained designing the Bantam, aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven (assisted by Robert Noorduyn) designed an elementary trainer, a two-bay biplane known as the F.K.24 Baboon.

The aircraft had a flat-sided fuselage and an uncowled 170 hp (127 kW) ABC Wasp engine.  Six aircraft were planned but only one was built in July 1918.

The only notable act was when it won the Hendon Trophy Race over a 20-mile (32-km) circuit in July 1919 flown by Christopher Draper.  The Baboon was scrapped in 1920.

BAT F.K.26. The BAT F.K.26 was a British single-engined four-passenger biplane transport aircraft produced by British Aerial Transport Company Limited of London at the end of World War I.

Design and development
As the First World War drew to a close the aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven designed a civil four-passenger wooden and fabric civil transport, the F.K.26.  The four passengers had an enclosed cabin and the pilot sat above and behind the cabin in an open cockpit.  The prototype (Registered K-102) first flew in April 1919.  The second aircraft was displayed at the First Air Traffic Exhibition in Amsterdam in July 1919.  The third machine (also known as the BAT Commercial Mk 1) was displayed at the Olympia Aero Show in July 1920.  The fourth aircraft (Registered G-EAPK), built in November 1919, was the last aircraft produced by the British Aerial Transport Company (BAT).  G-EAPK was sold to Instone Air Line and was based at Croydon Airport for charter work and scheduled services to Paris.

When the company closed, Koolhoven returned to Netherlands.  He later bought G-EEAI (the prototype) and exhibited it at the 1937 Netherlands Aero Show.

BAT Crow. The BAT F.K.28 Crow was a British single-seat ultralight aircraft produced by British Aerial Transport Company Limited of London. It was intended to be the "aerial equivalent of the motor cycle".

Design and development
The smallest of designs from Frederick Koolhoven when he worked for the British Aerial Transport Company was the F.K.28 Crow.  It was very small and light high-wing monoplane, with a conventional tractor configuration.  The monoplane's tail surfaces were carried by two slim booms.  An ABC Gnat 2-cylinder horizontally-opposed engine - together with fuel and oil tanks - was mounted on the wing centre section. The pilot's seat was set between the landing gear suspended below the wing. It was designed to be dismantled for road-transport with the removal of twelve bolts. It was displayed at the First Air Traffic Exhibition in Amsterdam, but it did not fly until some time later. It only flew once and proved to be underpowered.  It was scrapped in 1920.

British Aerial Transport. British Aerial Transport Company Limited (BAT) was a British aircraft manufacturer from its formation in 1917 to its closure in 1919.  The company was based at Willesden, London.

History
The company was formed in 1917 by Samuel Waring around the combined knowledge of Frederick Koolhoven as Chief Designer, and Robert Noorduyn as Chief Draughtsman.  Koolhoven's first design for the company was the F.K.22 fighter.  In 1919 Lord Waring reduced his aviation interests and this forced the closure of the company.  The fourth F.K.26 was the last aircraft built by the company.

Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. Alberto Luigi Sangiovanni-Vincentelli (born June 23, 1947) is an Italian-American computer scientist.   Since 1976 he has been a professor affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. While working at UC Berkeley in the 1980s, he co-founded  Cadence Design Systems, an EDA company. He currently sits on the board of Cadence Design.

Early life and education
Alberto Luigi Sangiovanni-Vincentelli was born on June 23, 1947 in Milan, Italy. He received his Master of Science degree in engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1971, with a specialty in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS).

Career
After graduating in 1971 from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Sangiovanni Vincentelli stayed on at the university in a research post. In 1976, he moved to University of California at Berkeley, where he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. At Berkeley, he "quickly turned his attention to the more theoretical end of electronics," designing numerical analysis algorithms for circuit design. In 1983, he co-founded Solomon Design Automation (SDA), an electronic design automation (EDA) company. Solomon Design Automation merged with ECAD in 1987 and created the company Cadence Design Systems. Also in 1987, Sangiovanni-Vincentelli co-founded the EDA company Optimal Solutions Inc, which was renamed Synopsys. By 1991, Cadence and Synopsys had increasingly started competing.

ECAD, Inc.. ECAD, Inc., based in Santa Clara, California, was an early vendor of electronic design automation software. The company was best known for its design rule checking product Dracula, but also produced IC layout and PC layout software.  Eventually, in a merger with SDA, it became Cadence Design Systems.

ECAD history 

ECAD was founded in August 1982 by Paul Huang, Ping Chao, and Glen M. Antle, who had worked at Texas Instruments, ITT, Teledyne, Data General, and (just before founding ECAD), the microelectronics products division of Systems Engineering Laboratories (SEL) in Sunnyvale, California. While developing a new computer design at SEL, the CAD group wrote a new (and very fast) algorithm for Design rule checking (DRC). These ideas eventually became the basis of ECAD's products.

In 1982, SEL was acquired by Gould Inc., and part of the CAD group spun out as ECAD.

ECAD's first product was Dracula, introduced in April 1983. It included a design-rule checker, an electrical rule checker, and a layout-versus-schematic consistency checker among other programs. This was followed by SYMBAD, an IC layout product suite.

ECAD sold only software, an unusual business tactic at this time.  However, it was consistently profitable.  In 1987, it went public on NASDAQ, and in 1988 in a merger with SDA Systems, it became Cadence Design Systems.

Organ Supply Industries. Organ Supply Industries, Incorporated is a pipe organ parts manufacturer founded in 1924 as the Organ Supply Corporation in Erie, Pennsylvania. With over  of manufacturing floor, it is the largest organ parts supplier in North America.

History 

Organ Supply Industries has its origins in two organ builders whom Erie investors encouraged to move their operations to Erie in the late 19th century. They include the Burdett Reed Organ Company, of Chicago, a reed organ manufacturer whose operation was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871; and the A. B. Felgemaker Organ Company, originally of Buffalo, New York. The Tellers-Kent Organ Company, sprang from two Felgemaker employees in 1906.

A. B. Felgemaker sent Anton Gottfried and his colleague Henry Kugel from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Erie, where they set up shop in the Felgemaker plant. The A. Gottfried Organ Company relocated to its own Erie facilities in 1905. Gottfried and Kugel had previously worked for the Haskell Company, a prominent organ manufacturer in Philadelphia. Fred Durst, of Hinners Organ Company of Pekin, Illinois, joined as superintendent of A. Gottfried Organ Company in 1917. Harry Auch and John Hallas, of the Haskell Company, came to Erie in 1920 to join Gottfried, Kugel, and Kugel's son Harry Kugel in the formation of a metal organ pipe manufacturer called National Organ Supply. Durst and Henry Kugel's sons Harry  and Ruben Kugel formed Organ Supply Corporation in 1924. The pipe manufacturing company was purchased by Organ Supply Corporation in 1958. Fred Gluck purchased the Organ Supply Corporation in the early 1970s and merged it with Durst and Company to form Durst Organ Supply Company, Incorporated. The name was changed to Organ Supply Industries, Incorporated in 1978.

Forrester effect mapping. The Forrester effect map is a business technique used to analyse the disturbance on the supply chain of reorder activity.

The tool is one of the seven value stream mapping tools as defined by Hines and Rich.

Forrester's research, (Industrial Dynamics, MIT Press 1961) showed that demand could be erratic with peaks and troughs commonplace within most organizations.  These variations in requirements and supply are amplified within the supply chain when re-orders are made.

Process
The map is portrayed as a graph with a line showing elements such as customer forecasts, shipments to customers, orders for raw materials on the y-axis, over a period of time shown on the x axis.

Results
Distortion between inventory levels is shown as a result of poor communication and an inability to schedule accurately.  The flatter the lines displayed the leaner the system and more accurate the forecast.

Business terms
Zaporizhzhia thermal power station. Zaporizhzhia thermal power station is a large thermal power plant (DRES) in the purpose-built city of Enerhodar in Ukraine. It is the most powerful thermal power station in Ukraine, with an installed capacity of 2,850 MWe. Its primary fuel is coal. It can also fire natural gas and fuel oil, and has tank storage for these reserve fuels adjacent to the coal bunkers.

Operation 
The plant was built by the Soviet Union between 1971 and 1977.

The plant has two  tall flue-gas stacks, which are among the tallest free-standing structures in Ukraine.  The plant is not equipped with any flue gas desulphurization systems, and uses electrostatic precipitators to remove fly ash prior to the flue gas being exhausted via one of the two chimneys. Like many other coal-fired generating stations, the Zaporizhzhia site encompasses an ash pond. Coal ash from the boilers is delivered by pipe to the 135 hectare (333 acre) pond where it is disposed of.

The plant supplies power to the southern regions of Ukraine. Some of the power is transmitted from its substation through the Enerhodar Dnipro Powerline Crossing to the north side of the Kakhovka Reservoir.

On 4 March 2022, the thermal plant and the adjacent Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant were captured by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 5 May 2022, the thermal power plant stopped operating after it ran out of coal, as it was unable to get further deliveries due to the invasion.

Unit specifications 

As of January 1, 2021, the installed capacity is 2,850 MW:
 2 units (numbers 2 and 4) of 300 MW each with CCI-312 boilers and K-300-240-2 turbines
 2 units (numbers 1 and 3) of 325 MW each with CCI-312 boilers and K-325-23.5 turbines
 2 units (numbers 5 and 7) of 800 MW each with TGMP-204/A boilers and K-800-240-3 turbines, but not in operation

A third 800 MW unit (number 6) has been decommissioned.

A small 1 MW grid battery was added in 2021 to test grid services.

2021 accident 
On February 3, 2021, the entire city of Enerhodar, as well as several neighboring towns lost power. This was caused by an accident at the Zaporizhzhia thermal power station, where, according to the officials, power output of the plants units dropped to zero.

According to Centrenergo, the plant's operator:

In order to balance the system, power unit No. 10 of the Krivorozhskaya TPP was taken out of repair ahead of schedule. At the command of NEC Ukrenergo, power units No. 9 and 12 of Burshtynskaya TPP and No. 7 of Dobrotvorskaya TPP were synchronized to the grid and began supplying power.

The Electrician. The Electrician, published in London from 1861–1863 and 1878–1952, was one of the earliest and foremost electrical engineering periodicals and scientific journals. It was published in two series: The original Electrician was published for three years from 1861–1863. After a fifteen year gap, a new series of the Electrician was in print for 72 years from 1878–1952. The Electrician is currently remembered as the publisher of Oliver Heaviside's works, in particular the first publication of the telegrapher's equations, still in wide use for radio engineering.

After the periodical ceased publication in 1952, The Electricians corporation continued on its book publishing business, printing works on physics and electrical engineering, until 1959.

Publication history
The Electrician was originally established in 1861, it was discontinued after about three years. In 1878 a new journal with the same title was launched and thereafter published weekly.

The Electrician billed itself in the early 1860s as "a weekly journal of Telegraphy, Electricity, and Applied Chemistry" and was published by Thomas Piper.

The new Electrician that appeared in the late 1870s was published by James Gray on behalf of the proprietors, John Pender and James Anderson of the Eastern Telegraph Company, the biggest cable firm of the day and had a somewhat different focus. It described itself as "a weekly illustrated journal of electrical engineering, industry and science" and also featured more theoretical aspects of electrical engineering such as electromagnetism.

In the late nineteenth century, The Electrician Printing and Publication Company Limited was established and began publishing shorter electrical engineering texts including well-known early electrical engineering titles such as Oliver Heaviside's Electromagnetic Theory (1893-1912), Oliver Lodge's The Work of Hertz and Some of His Successors (1894), and many others. Some of these publications were based on papers presented elsewhere and published in full in The Electrician.

The new series of The Electrician quickly established itself in the field of electrical engineering and was regularly quoted and cited in Nature, Scientific American, and elsewhere.

Other Electrician magazines
Between 1889 and 1895 an American journal also called The Electrician was published in New York by Williams & Co. Often referred to as the American Electrician, it was merged into another electrical engineering periodical, Electrical World.

Beardmore W.B.III. The Beardmore WB.III was a British carrier-based fighter biplane of World War I. It was a development of the Sopwith Pup that Beardmore was then building under licence, but was specially adapted for shipboard use.

Design and development
Compared to the Sopwith Pup on which it was based, the WB.III featured a redesigned wing cellule with no stagger and an extra set of struts inboard, facilitating folding for stowage; a modified fuselage that carried emergency floatation gear; and main undercarriage that could be folded for stowage on the WB.IIIF. Later examples, designated WB.IIID, could jettison their undercarriage for safer water landings.

As many as one hundred were built, with small numbers deployed on various Royal Navy warships including the aircraft carriers  and ; and seaplane tenders HMS Nairana and HMS Pegasus. Performance was inferior that of to the Pup and it was largely superseded by the Sopwith 2F1 Ships Camel.
