Worldwide Ultralite Clipper. The Worldwide Ultralite Clipper is an American ultralight aircraft that was designed and produced by Worldwide Ultralite Industries of Katy, Texas in the early 1980s. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

With a strut-braced parasol-wing, conventional landing gear, single engine in tractor configuration and its single-seat, open cockpit configuration, the Clipper resembles a small conventional light aircraft and was designed to appeal to private pilots looking for an ultralight aircraft.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of . The aircraft has a standard empty weight of .

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its  span wing has flaps and is supported by parallel lift struts and jury struts. The airframe was proof tested to +9/-6g ultimate load. The conventional landing gear features balloon tires and a steerable tailwheel. The standard powerplant supplied by the factory was the  Rotax 447, single ignition, two cylinder, two-stroke aircraft engine.

The company was noted for its marketing of the aircraft at trade shows, such as EAA AirVenture. They employed scantily-clad models to attract attention to the aircraft, something not normally seen at aircraft trade shows.

Evil Machines. Evil Machines is a 2011 book of fantasy stories written by Monty Python's Terry Jones.  The book has a cover design and illustrations by Ryan Gillard and Keira Kinsella.

Background 
Evil Machines contains thirteen short stories about various devices that begin to show odd behavior. The stories generally feature a sting in the tail; for example, the UK city of Swindon is lampooned in "The Lift That Took People to Places They Didn't Want to Go". The concept for the stories came to Jones in a car. He said: "I was actually driving across London and I think I got held up by a red traffic light and suddenly the phrase, 'Evil machines', drifted across my mind and I thought, 'Well that's a good title and I could use that', so I went home and started writing the stories." 

Evil Machines was the first book published by Unbound, a crowdfunding startup. According to Unbound's co-founder John Mitchinson, Jones chose the startup because he didn't think the book could be marketed easily as either children's or adult fiction. Jones received more than 1,000 pledges for Evil Machines, with an average pledge amount of £31.20.

The book's launch took place on Friday 4 November 2011 at the Adam Street Club, London, UK. At the launch Jones indicated that "The Nice Bomb" and "The Lift That Took People to Places They Didn't Want to Go" were probably the two stories of which he was most fond.

The stories were adapted for opera in Lisbon in 2008, with a libretto by Jones.

Hise Model A. The Hise Model A was a trimotor aircraft built by the Hise Aircraft Corporation, founded by Detroit, Michigan industrialist Fred Hise.  The Vice President of the company, E.L. Inlow, announced that a manufacturing facility was planned for Pontiac, Michigan within a few months of August, 1929. The prototype was shown at the 1929 National Aeronautic Exposition, held at Cleveland from August 24 to September 2, 1929. On March 17, 1930, the company entered into a contract with the Dixie and Northern Air Line for the purchase of 5 aircraft, with the first of the planes to be delivered on or before August 5, 1930.  The airline was organized to provide passenger service between Detroit and Miami, at the time one of the longest routes in the United States.  However, the planned $100,000 () sale was never completed after the airline's authorization to issue stock was revoked by the Michigan Public Utilities Commission when it objected to the airline's plans to spend all of the stock sale proceeds on the new aircraft, leaving nothing for operations.

Design and development
The single prototype was tested at the Detroit City Airport.

The Hise Trimotor was a high-wing monoplane with conventional landing gear.  It was powered by three  Kinner radial engines. The executive interior featured red leather seats and silver-plated ashtrays.

Andrzej Karol Jonscher. Andrzej Karol Jonscher (13 July 1922 –  7 February 2005) was a Polish-British physicist at Chelsea College and then Royal Holloway, University of London.

Jonscher pioneered the study of emergent phenomena in natural systems, and dielectric behaviour in particular. The Universal dielectric response whereby power law scaling of conductivity with frequency is found in heterogeneous materials under alternating current conditions has drawn significant attention due to its significance in many technological applications. Although this scaling behaviour is observed across a tremendously wide range of systems, there is yet no consensus regarding the origins of such emergent dielectric responses. To date (the end of 2018 year), about 9500 references had been made on two works of A. K. Jonscher (Dielectric relaxation in solids, 1999; The "universal" dielectric response, 1977). However, there is no standard theoretical explanation about the reasons and mechanisms of the physical averagings leading to the emergence of "universal" response in macroscopic solid-state ionic conductors.

Jonscher pioneered a mathematical explanation of an unusual phenomenon of negative capacitance in electronic devices. He explained the effect of negative capacitance in terms of non-monotonically decreasing transient current response under a step voltage excitation. Jonscher's insight into the physics of negative capacitance was very fruitful for understanding and explanation of negative capacitance in different types of semiconductor devices.

Cloudbuster Ultralights Cloudbuster. The Cloudbuster Ultralights Cloudbuster is an American ultralight aircraft that was designed and produced by the Cloudbuster Ultralights Company of Sarasota, Florida in the early 1980s. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of . The Cloudbuster has a standard empty weight of . It features a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft fuselage structure is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with a tubular keel supporting the tail, wing mounts and the engine at the front. The standard factory supplied powerplant was the Zenoah G-25B of . Its  span wing is braced with a single lift strut per side. The wing is of exotic mixed construction, with aluminum tubular spars, urethane foam and fibreglass wing ribs, the leading edge is vinyl-covered and the trailing edge is sheet aluminum and the whole wing finished in doped aircraft fabric covering. The pilot sits on an open seat that is not equipped with a windshield. The landing gear features main wheel suspension and a steerable nosewheel. The airframe was proof tested to +4.5/-2.25 g.

The complex wing does give the aircraft good gliding performance, achieving a 13:1 glide ratio and a minimum sink speed of 260 ft/min (1.3 m/s).
However the complexity of the wing construction lead to the commercial failure of the aircraft design and few were produced.

Paul Greenfield. Paul Fawcett Greenfield AO was the President and Vice Chancellor of The University of Queensland from 1 January 2008 to 13 January 2012.

Career
As Vice Chancellor, he was the university's chief executive officer and responsible to the University Senate for the overall direction of strategic planning, finance and external affairs. As a chemical engineer, he was made an Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia in 2006 for service to science and engineering, thereby providing recognition of his "distinguished service of a high degree to Australia". His annual salary in 2010 was reported to be A$1,069,999.

Greenfield resigned from his position as president and vice-chancellor of the university on 13 January 2012 in the aftermath of what was known as the UQ admissions scandal. The scandal related to an "irregularity" in the enrolment of a student in the medicine course who was a "close relative" of his. He had planned to step down in mid-2012 but changed his mind on 9 December 2011 and said he would leave the university on 13 January 2012. It was subsequently revealed that the "close relative" was in fact his daughter, Charlotte Greenfield, who was offered a place in the medicine course despite not having met the entry requirements and being ranked below 343 other applicants who were not admitted. The Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) investigated the matter and issued an investigative report in September, 2013. As Charlotte was unaware of the actions on her behalf, she remained in the University of Queensland's medical school and has since graduated as a registered medical practitioner.

Greenfield was the Chair of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation from February 2011 to August 2014.

Daimler G.I. The Daimler G.I, originally designated Daimler R.I, was a bomber aircraft designed and built in Germany from early in 1915.

Design and development
When the Daimler works entered the aircraft manufacture business they ordered a Union G.I from Union Flugzeugbau, which flew but disintegrated shortly before landing during a test-flight, due to severe engine vibrations. Daimler commenced to re-design the Union G.I, resulting in the Daimler R.I.

Development of the Daimler bombers was accelerated by the use of former Union designers Baurat Rittberger and Ing. Karl Schopper, who proceeded to strengthen the structure and replace the Union G.Is troublesome inverted engines with upright Mercedes D.IIIs. Assembly of the R.Is and R.IIs took place at Sindelfingen, but most  of the R.I and R.ll parts were built by the Stuttgart firm of Schiedmayer and taken to Sindelfingen for assembly.

Flight trials commenced late in 1915 with relatively few engine problems but the structure had to be strengthened several times and three wing arrangements were also tested between 1915 and 1917. A second R.I was built with a larger tail unit to improve directional control. Daimler also built six almost identical improved R.II aircraft in 1916, two of which flew, the remaining four being crated and stored.

The airframe of the R.I and R.II was typical of large German aircraft of the time, with a wooden fuselage and metal wings covered with fabric. The fuselage housed the crew in a gunners cockpit in the nose, cockpit amidships and a gunner's cockpit aft of the wings. The tail-unit consisted of a tailplane which supported a fin and rudder as well as two additional rudders at approximately half span. The undercarriage comprised a twin nose-wheel  assembly, four main-wheels spread between the engine nacelles on the lower wings and a tail-skid. Engines were initially in tandem push-pull nacelles mounted directly on the lower wing, changing to streamlined nacelles mounted on struts mid gap on the R.II.

Poor performance and competition from similar aircraft precluded production, but at least one R.I and two R.IIs were accepted by Idflieg and test flown until the middle of 1917.

Variants 
Daimler R.I
The initial designation of the G.I, changed after discovery that the aircraft did not meet one of the major criteria for being designated as a Riesenflugzeug; the engines were unable to be serviced whilst in flight.
Daimler R.II
The initial designation of the G.II, which was a refined version of the G.I, with improved structure and higher maximum weight and more streamlined engine nacelles supported on pylons between the wings.
Daimler G.I
The R.I re-designated.
Daimler G.II
The R.II re-designated.

OmniTouch. OmniTouch is a wearable computer, depth-sensing camera and projection system that enables interactive multitouch interfaces on everyday surface. Beyond the shoulder-worn system, there is no instrumentation of the user or the environment. For example, the present shoulder-worn implementation allows users to manipulate interfaces projected onto the environment (e.g., walls, tables), held objects (e.g., notepads, books), and their own bodies (e.g., hands, lap). On such surfaces - without any calibration - OmniTouch provides capabilities similar to that of a touchscreen: X and Y location in 2D interfaces and whether fingers are “clicked” or hovering.  This enables a wide variety of applications, similar to what one might find on a modern smartphone. A user study assessing pointing accuracy of the system (user and system inaccuracies combined) suggested buttons needed to be  in diameter to achieve reliable operation on the hand,  on walls.  This is approaching the accuracy of  capacitive touchscreens, like those found in smart phones, but on arbitrary surfaces. 

OmniTouch was developed by researchers Chris Harrison, Hrvoje Benko and Andy Wilson at Microsoft Research in 2011. The work was accepted to and presented at the 2011 ACM User Interface and Software Technology conference. Many major news outlets and online tech blogs covered the technology. 
 
 
 
 

It is conceptually similar to efforts such as Skinput and SixthSense. A central contribution of the work was a novel depth-driven, fuzzy template matching approach to finger tracking and click registration. The system also finds and tracks surfaces suitable for projection, on which interactive applications can be projected.
