Adobe LiveCycle. Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite (ES4) is a service-oriented architecture Java EE server software product from Adobe Systems. It is used to build applications that automate various business processes for enterprises and government agencies. LiveCycle ES4 is a document platform designed to help capture and process information, deliver personalized communications, protect and track sensitive information. 

It is used for purposes such as account opening, services, benefits enrollment, correspondence management, requests for proposal processes, and other manual-based workflows. LiveCycle ES4 includes features that support mobile devices and can function in both online and offline environments. These capabilities are made possible through Adobe Reader, HTML/PhoneGap, and Flash Player clients, enabling access from desktop computers and mobile devices.

The LiveCycle platform consists of several integrated components and developer tools.

LiveCycle ES4 components
LiveCycle ES4 components are various types of services available to developers including those needed to capture information, manage and optimize processes, secure information, invoke web services, create documents, and integrate with other applications and data sources. The components include shared "foundation" services which include administration, configuration services, service orchestration, invocation methods across components, and encryption services.

The data capture products allow users to create and deploy XML-based form templates as PDFs (Forms Standard and Forms Pro), manage live data (Data Services), and customizes editing functionalities on a per-document basis (Reader Extensions).

It also has multiple features to ensure document security.

Implications for document management systems
PDF documents restricted with LiveCycle DRM are sometimes difficult to use in non-Adobe document management systems because LiveCycle can prevent third-party software from disassembling the PDF, extracting pages, and displaying the contents. In such cases, if LiveCycle does not prevent printing, users may resort to printing PDF documents from compatible Adobe software and scanning the printouts into unrestricted, rasterized PDFs usable in third-party software.

AC Propulsion eBox. The eBox is a conversion of a Scion xB hatchback into a battery electric vehicle produced by the American company AC Propulsion.

History
AC Propulsion executives announced their intention to convert Scion  to battery electric vehicles in October, 2003.  Company executives stated that the Scion xB was chosen in part due to its boxy shape which allows for good placement and installation of a battery pack.  The availability of a suitable battery was said to be an important step in allowing for the announcement of the program.  Suitability requirements included that the battery be widely available ("off the shelf"), in volume, without danger that supply would be cut off or be overly limited.  Thousands of lithium-ion batteries, of the 18650 variant, were proposed as suitable for the rechargeable battery system.

The prototype eBox was unveiled in Santa Monica, California on August 18, 2006.  The prototype used a battery pack consisting of 5,300 Li-ion cells arranged into 100 blocks of 53 cells each.

The first production eBox was delivered to actor Tom Hanks on February 15, 2007.

Pricing
Estimated cost of this conversion exceeds US$50,000 in addition to the base vehicle cost (excluding the cost of the gasoline engine, that is replaced in the conversion), while high-volume OEM additional cost is projected at about $10,000. It appears that high-volume production by original vehicle manufacturers using AC production components is a goal, with the low-volume production being an intermediate step.

AC Propulsion offers the conversion for US$55,000.

Specifications
Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds.
Top Speed: 
Range: 
 Motor:  AC induction motor
Battery pack: 5,088 Li-Ion cells, 355V nominal, 35kWh, 
Battery charger: On board, 100-250VAC, 50/60 Hz, includes Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and UPS (generator mode) capability
Charge rate: up to 20 kW; 30 minutes for 20–50 miles
Full Charge: 2 hours (fast), 5 hours (normal)
Energy Efficiency: 180 AC Wh/km in typical driving (648 kJ/km)

Oregonite. Oregonite, Ni2FeAs2 is a nickel iron arsenide mineral first described from Josephine Creek, Oregon, United States.

Oregonite crystallises in the hexagonal crystal system and has a Mohs hardness of 5.

Occurrence

Oregonite is known, apart from its type locality, from the Chirnaisky Massif, Russia, associated with hydrothermal nickel minerals (millerite, heazelwoodite) in a metamorphosed ultramafic; from the Skouriatissa mine, Cyprus, associated with VMS mineralisation; and from the Kidd Mine, Timmins, Ontario, Canada within serpentinite-hosted chromite deposits.

Jeep FJ. The Jeep FJ Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1975. It was based on the DJ-3A Dispatcher, but equipped with the F-134 Hurricane engine. Two models were available, the FJ-3 and the longer FJ-3A. It came standard with the familiar Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual transmission. A Borg-Warner automatic was offered as an option.

Postal Service 
Right-hand-drive FJ-3s were made for the US Postal Service. Most of these had horizontal grille slats in contrast to the seven vertical slats found on standard models.

The FJ-6 model (based on the CJ-6) was introduced in 1965 for postal use, which was ultimately replaced by the FJ-8 & FJ-9 introduced in 1975.

Concurrent Euclid. Concurrent Euclid (ConEuc) is a concurrent descendant of the Euclid programming language designed by James Cordy and Ric Holt, then at the University of Toronto, in 1980.  ConEuc was designed for concurrent, high performance, highly reliable system software, such as operating systems, compilers and embedded microprocessor systems. The TUNIS operating system, a Unix variant, was implemented entirely in Concurrent Euclid. ConEuc extends a core subset of Euclid with  processes and monitors (as specified by C.A.R. Hoare) as well as language constructs needed for systems programming including separate compilation, variables at absolute addresses, type converters, long integers and other features.

ConEuc was implemented by a small (50k bytes), fast, portable compiler that was self-compiling and had replaceable code generators. High quality code generators for several computers, including the PDP-11, VAX-11, Motorola 68000 and Motorola 6809 were developed that produced code comparable to the best C compilers. Concurrent Euclid programs that used concurrency could be run on a bare machine (supported by a small assembly language kernel), or in simulated mode as an ordinary process running under an operating system.

The Turing programming language is a direct descendant of Concurrent Euclid and its Turing Plus variant eventually replaced ConEuc in most applications.

Apache MyFaces. Apache MyFaces is an Apache Software Foundation project that creates and maintains an open-source JavaServer Faces implementation, along with several libraries of JSF components that can be deployed on the core implementation. The project is divided into several sub-projects:

 Core: an implementation of the JSF 1.1, JSF 1.2, JSF 2.0, JSF 2.1, JSF 2.2, JSF 2.3, Faces 3.0 and Faces 4.0 specification and components as specified by JSR 127, JSR 252, JSR 314, JSR 344 and JSR 372 respectively
 Portlet Bridge: an implementation of the JSF Portlet Bridge specification as specified by JSR 301
 Tomahawk: a set of JSF components created by the MyFaces development team prior to its donation to Apache
 Trinidad: a set of JSF components contributed to MyFaces by Oracle, where it was known as ADF Faces
 Tobago: a set of JSF components contributed to MyFaces by Atanion GmbH
 Orchestra: a framework used to manage persistence sessions across various scopes
 Extensions Validator: a JSF centric validation framework, which is based on annotations
 CODI: a toolbox which will support you on solving your daily needs of software development with CDI, JSF, BV and JPA
 Others: As well as these subprojects, MyFaces has a number of smaller subprojects, for example MyFaces Commons or MyFaces Shared. These subprojects can be found here .

The standard is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, but is also component-based and event-oriented. Different templating languages can be used. In the standard, JSP is used, other options include XML based templating languages like Shale Clay or Facelets.

Core
The MyFaces Core subproject is an open-source implementation of the JavaServer Faces specification. Each major release of MyFaces Core is certified against the Sun Technology Compatibility Kit to ensure compliance.

The core subproject is divided into two submodules:

 MyFaces API implements all of the classes that are defined in the specification.
 MyFaces Impl provides "invisible" support classes that user code does not directly invoke, but which are needed for a working JSF framework. Examples are the renderer classes for the standard JSF components.

These two submodules are distributed in two libraries, myfaces-api.jar and myfaces-impl.jar. Both of them are needed to be able to deploy a JSF based web application.

The latest release of MyFaces Core is 2.3.4. It requires Java 1.8 or later, JSP 2.2, JSTL 1.2, CDI 2.0, WebSocket 1.1 and a Java Servlet 4.0 implementation.

Fischer Motor Company. Fischer Motor Company is a US-based sport motorcycle manufacturer. Their MRX 650 is a sport bike built around a 90-degree V-twin engine and one-piece, twin spar, aluminum perimeter frame. Alan Cathcart of Motorcyclist magazine in his 2006 test review, called the MRX, "the most important new American motorcycle in generations."

Company founder Daniel Fischer developed the company's first motorcycle for mass-production, the MRX 650 using suppliers including an EADS (Airbus) subsidiary for engineering, Harley-Davidson and Michael Jordan Motorsports contractor Gemini Technology Systems for frame development, and various companies related to US-based heavy equipment and automotive suppliers for other components. The original platform is based upon a 1990s era Grand Prix chassis. In contrast to Buell Motorcycle Company, Fischer intended not to "reinvent the wheel" with any radical design concepts, but to "just take existing technology and fine-tune it," Fischer told Cycle World in 2003.

Styling for the new motorcycle was done by British designer Glynn Kerr. In earlier stages, there were plans to produce  Rotax-based 90° V-twins. Rotax subsequently voided an agreement with Fischer in order to supply engines to Harley's Buell, with the Rotax 1000cc v-twin which had been used in Aprilia products and Fischer's first prototype ultimately supplied in a revised version for Buell 1125-series products.

, Fischer had begun shipping units, and in October 2009, they announced a production increase for the 2010 model year. Fischer appears to have ceased production in 2012.

A "few dozen" bikes were produced during Fischer's three years of operation.

In 2015, an Indian motorcycle blog reported that Fischer had plans to make an entry into India with its new 150cc bikes, likely to be named Fischer MRX 150.

Joint Security Station Falcon. Camp Al-Saqr, referred to by some media sources as Camp Falcon, Forward Operating Base Falcon, Joint Security Station (JSS) Falcon, or Combat Outpost Falcon, was a United States military forward operating base in Iraq a short distance outside Baghdad, some  south of the Green Zone. In OIF 2004; it was designated as "Camp Ferrin-Huggins".  , the base housed up to 5,000 troops.

History
In September 2003, the construction of FOB Falcon (Camp Al-Saqr) in Iraq was a major engineering project for the 439th Engineer Battalion. The battalion transported more than 100,000 tons of gravel for constructing roads, and took part in construction of the base's structures.

Because FOB Falcon was considered by Iraqi officials to be outside of Baghdad proper, it was not affected by the planned withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009.
 
It was not uncommon for bases like FOB Falcon to be mortared by insurgents who used the surrounding neighborhoods as cover, risking the lives of Iraq civilians and those who lived on the FOB while they served. Small arms fire and the use of RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades) were also common and more prevalent during the early years of the deployments.

10 October 2006 attack

On October 10, 2006, at about 10:40 p.m. (1940 GMT), a major explosion rocked the base, reportedly due to the base's ammunition dump being hit by an 82mm mortar round fired by Iraqi insurgents. Further explosions continued for hours. Images of the explosions were carried live on CNN. There were no casualties. According to the official Department of Defense report released by US Central Command, the base resumed normal duties within 24 hours.

Islamic Army in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack.

Operation New Dawn
During Operation New Dawn, JSS Falcon was manned by 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Division out of Fort Riley, Kansas. The base was transferred to the Iraqi Federal Police by 5th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment in late July 2011. 5th of the 4th Cavalry had been advising both 2nd and 4th Iraqi Federal Police Divisions. The buildings and the land were turned over to 2nd Iraqi Federal Police Division to be used as a base of operations in the Rasheed district of Baghdad. Before the move, the 2nd IFP Div. was already operationally responsible for the area surrounding JSS Falcon, making the transition relatively seamless.
