Apparently the lid missed a step in the manufacturing process. The squirrel image is just a sticker, added, I assume, by an owner. The puzzle within is the scene at right, with cattle beside a mountain stream.
The Japanese made some of the best matchlock arquebuses, partially because they took the time to refine the manufacturing process to a craft. In Europe, in contrast, arquebuses were quickly rendered obsolete in favor of flitlock muskets.

A beautiful Prim Sport "Igen" 38 being serviced in the watch restoration and assembly room at Prim.
On September 26, 2008 my family and I were privileged to spend the day in the beautiful town of Nové Mesto nad Metují in the east of the Czech Republic, close to the Polish border. Our host was Mr. Jan Prokop, Marketing Director (and principal designer) at the ELTON hodinárská, a.s. - the manufacturers of fine bespoke Prim wristwatches.
Mr. Prokop collected us from our hotel in Prague, drove us to Nové Mesto nad Metují and back (a round trip of three hours), presented their current product range, guided us through their interesting museum, and led us on a tour of the full manufacturing operation at Prim. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we got to see everything from the manufacturing of cases, dials, hesatite crystals and hands through to the final assembly process. We also saw great examples of their bespoke manufacturing capability as well as their top class restoration service. Mr Prokop ended a fine day with a meal and good local beer in a restaurant on the old town square.
Six weeks after our visit I sent my prized Prim Sport "Igen" 38 (produced in the 60's and early-70's) to ELTON where it is currently being restored and modernised to my specification, as well as being personalised. I can't wait to get it back - my first bespoke wristwatch and an heirloom to pass on to my son!
Although obviously sensitive about certain parts of their operation, Mr. Prokop graciously allowed me to take many photographs during our visit, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As you will see, these are truly hand-made watches that combine both leading edge design and manufacturing processes and age-old processes and technologies. It is this progressive traditionalism and craftsmanship that gives these unique timepieces their individual character...and I love them!

(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

(Fr) Fondées en 1906, les Cokeries d'Anderlues étaient spécialisées dans la fabrication de coke à usage industriel.
Le coke était obtenu par distillation de la houille dans des fours et, grâce à ses propriétés combustibles supérieures au charbon, il servait par après à alimenter les hauts-fourneaux dans le processus de fabrication de l'acier.
Fermé et laissé à l'abandon depuis 2002, le site a depuis lors subi de nombreuses pertes et dégradations, sans compter la pollution qui y règne. Si certains bâtiments (comme l'ancien lavoir à charbon) ont aujourd'hui été démolis, on retrouve encore toutefois certaines parties importantes de cette ancienne cokerie.
Parmi celles-ci, l'ancienne tour à charbon suivie de près par l'imposante "batterie" de 38 fours, où était produit le coke. A côté d'eux, on découvre également les bâtiments administratifs, la centrale électrique avec sa tour de refroidissement, ainsi que les bâtiments des sous-produits, lesquels étaient obtenus par récupération du goudron et du gaz de houille. Et en périphérie, on retrouve un gazomètre côté nord, le terril à l'est et un bassin de décantation côté sud.

An ultrathin Ag film based OLED inside Professor Jay Guo’s lab at 3537 G.G. Brown on North Campus in Ann Arbor MI on May 5, 2021.
Guo’s group is systematically improving the light power distribution in OLEDs by removing the waveguide mode and optimizing the organic stacks and the ultrathin AG anode. This simple yet effective method leads to significantly enhanced performance of the external quantum efficiency of the OLED.
Guo’s solution is not only simple in process but also can achieve high throughput and low cost with excellent compatibility with the large-scale manufacturing process in the display industry. In principle, the modal elimination approach introduced in this work could be extended to other solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs) such as perovskites, quantum-dots, or III-V based LEDs since all of which are susceptible to the issue of light trapping as waveguide mode.

Originally this block would have contained the entire body manufacturing process. Press shop, assembly and tooling. When production of the fiesta ceased in 2001 the assembly areas were cleared and only the presses and tooling sides kept running. By the time i visited however most of the tooling workshops had been dismantled too and machinery was stacked up on pallets waiting to be shipped away. The assembly areas appeared quite empty but as some of my exploring colleagues found out there was plenty of interesting bits that had been missed tucked away on the massive site. Personally I really regret not spending more time there...

•Description: The goals for this program were to reduce weight, optimize package flexibility, integrate parts, reduce cost, create Best-in-Class quality, and produce a part with repeatable dimensions and tuning. Benchmarking showed that no one had fully accomplished all these objectives. Through a team effort, an innovative manufacturing process was developed. Injection molding is used to form the PA 6/6 insert, which increases structural stability, eliminates a metal ring, and precisely controls the most NVH-sensitive element. Windows on the insert can be modified to tailor it to specific vehicle requirements. It is, in turn, insert molded in the 2D blow molding process to form the outer resonator, whose shape flexibility contributes to the packaging requirement.
This is a transformer from a desktop computer. It transforms electrical energy into magnetic energy, then back into electrical energy again. Because its operation depends on electromagnetic induction between two stationary coils and a magnetic flux of changing magnitude and "polarity," transformers are necessarily AC devices.
Both coils of wire can be seen here with copper-colored varnish insulation. The top coil (primary winding) is larger than the bottom coil (secondary winding), having a greater number of "turns" around the core. In transformers, the inductor coils are often referred to as windings, in reference to the manufacturing process where wire is wound around the core material. The powered inductor of a transformer is called the primary winding, while the unpowered coil is called the secondary winding.
Since the secondary winding has about 100 times as many turns as the primary winding, the secondary voltage can also be about 100 times greater than the induced primary voltage. The current flow establishes a magnetic field around the windings. The field is intensified by the solid iron core.
Transformer dynamics is a complex subject. What is important to understand is this: when an AC voltage is applied to the primary coil, it creates a magnetic flux in the core, which induces AC voltage in the secondary coil in-phase with the source voltage. Any current drawn through the secondary coil to power a load induces a corresponding current in the primary coil, drawing current from the source.

Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Hypersonic Aircraft
Utilizing new methods of fabrication and construction, make it possible to use additive manufacturing, dramatically reducing the time and costs of producing hypersonic platforms from missiles, aircraft, and space capable craft. Instead of aircraft being produced in piece, then bolted together; small platforms can be produced as a single unit and large platforms can be produces in large section and mated without bolting. These techniques include using exotic materials and advanced assembly processes, with an end result of streamlining the production costs and time for hypersonic aircraft; reducing months of assembly to weeks. Overall, this process greatly reduced the cost for producing hypersonic platforms. Even to such an extent that a Hellfire missile costs apx $100,000 but by utilizing our technologies, replacing it with a Mach 8-10 hypersonic missile of our physics/engineering and that missile would cost roughly $75,000 each delivered.
Materials used for these manufacturing processes are not disclosed, but overall, provides a foundation for extremely high stresses and thermodynamics, ideal for hypersonic platforms. This specific methodology and materials applications is many decades ahead of all known programs. Even to the extend of normalized space flight and re-entry, without concern of thermodynamic failure.
*Note, most entities that are experimenting with additive manufacturing for hypersonic aircraft, this makes it mainstream and standardized processes, which also applies for mass production.
What would normally be measured in years and perhaps a decade to go from drawing board to test flights, is reduced to singular months and ready for production within a year maximum.
Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle (U-TBCC)
To date, the closest that NASA and industry have achieved for turbine based aircraft to fly at hypersonic velocities is by mounting a turbine into an aircraft and sharing the inlet with a scramjet or rocket based motor. Reaction Engines Sabre is not able to achieve hypersonic velocities and can only transition into a non air breathing rocket for beyond Mach 4.5
However, utilizing Unified Turbine Based Combine Cycle also known as U-TBCC, the two separate platforms are able to share a common inlet and the dual mode ramjet/scramjet is contained within the engine itself, which allows for a much smaller airframe footprint, thus engingeers are able to then design much higher performance aerial platforms for hypersonic flight, including the ability for constructing true single stage to orbit aircraft by utilizing a modification/version that allows for transition to outside atmosphere propulsion without any other propulsion platforms within the aircraft. By transitioning and developing aircraft to use Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle, this propulsion system opens up new options to replace that airframe deficit for increased fuel capacity and/or payload.
Enhanced Dynamic Cavitation
Dramatically Increasing the efficiency of fuel air mixture for combustion processes at hypersonic velocities within scramjet propulsion platforms. The aspects of these processes are non disclosable.
Dynamic Scramjet Ignition Processes
For optimal scramjet ignition, a process known as Self Start is sought after, but in many cases if the platform becomes out of attitude, the scramjet will ignite. We have already solved this problem which as a result, a scramjet propulsion system can ignite at lower velocities, high velocities, at optimal attitude or not optimal attitude. It doesn't matter, it will ignite anyways at the proper point for maximum thrust capabilities at hypersonic velocities.
Hydrogen vs Kerosene Fuel Sources
Kerosene is an easy fuel to work with, and most western nations developing scramjet platforms use Kerosene for that fact. However, while kerosene has better thermal properties then Hydrogen, Hydrogen is a far superior fuel source in scramjet propulsion flight, do it having a much higher efficiency capability. Because of this aspect, in conjunction with our developments, it allows for a MUCH increased fuel to air mixture, combustion, thrust; and ability for higher speeds; instead of very low hypersonic velocities in the Mach 5-6 range. Instead, Mach 8-10 range, while we have begun developing hypersonic capabilities to exceed 15 in atmosphere within less then 5 years.
Conforming High Pressure Tank Technology for CNG and H2.
As most know in hypersonics, Hydrogen is a superior fuel source, but due to the storage abilities, can only be stored in cylinders thus much less fuel supply. Not anymore, we developed conforming high pressure storage technology for use in aerospace, automotive sectors, maritime, etc; which means any overall shape required for 8,000+ PSI CNG or Hydrogen. For hypersonic platforms, this means the ability to store a much larger volume of hydrogen vs cylinders.
As an example, X-43 flown by Nasa which flew at Mach 9.97. The fuel source was Hydrogen, which is extremely more volatile and combustible then kerosene (JP-7), via a cylinder in the main body. If it had used our technology, that entire section of the airframe would had been an 8,000 PSI H2 tank, which would had yielded 5-6 times the capacity. While the X-43 flew 11 seconds under power at Mach 9.97, at 6 times the fuel capacity would had yielded apx 66 seconds of fuel under power at Mach 9.97. If it had flew slower, around Mach 6, same principles applied would had yielded apx 500 seconds of fuel supply under power (slower speeds required less energy to maintain).
Enhanced Fuel Mixture During Shock Train Interaction
Normally, fuel injection is conducted at the correct insertion point within the shock train for maximum burn/combustion. Our methodologies differ, since almost half the fuel injection is conducted PRE shock train within the isolator, so at the point of isolator injection the fuel enhances the combustion process, which then requires less fuel injection to reach the same level of thrust capabilities.
Improved Bow Shock Interaction
Smoother interaction at hypersonic velocities and mitigating heat/stresses for beyond Mach 6 thermodynamics, which extraordinarily improves Type 3, 4, and 5 shock interaction.
6,000+ Fahrenheit Thermal Resistance
To date, the maximum thermal resistance was tested at AFRL in the spring of 2018, which resulted in a 3,200F thermal resistance for a short duration. This technology, allows for normalized hypersonic thermal resistance of 3,000-3,500F sustained, and up to 6,500F resistance for short endurance, ie 90 seconds or less. 10-20 minute resistance estimate approximately 4,500F +/- 200F.
*** This technology advancement also applies to Aerospike rocket engines, in which it is common for Aerospike's to exceed 4,500-5,000F temperatures, which results in the melting of the reversed bell housing. That melting no longer ocurrs, providing for stable combustion to ocurr for the entire flight envelope
Scramjet Propulsion Side Wall Cooling
With old technologies, side wall cooling is required for hypersonic flight and scramjet propulsion systems, otherwise the isolator and combustion regions of a scramjet would melt, even using advanced ablatives and ceramics, due to their inability to cope with very high temperatures. Using technology we have developed for very high thermodynamics and high stresses, side wall cooling is no longer required, thus removing that variable from the design process and focusing on improved ignition processes and increasing net thrust values.
Lower Threshold for Hypersonic Ignition
Active and adaptive flight dynamics, resulting in the ability for scramjet ignition at a much lower velocity, ie within ramjet envelope, between Mach 2-4, and seamless transition from supersonic to hypersonic flight, ie supersonic ramjet (scramjet). This active and dynamic aspect, has a wide variety of parameters for many flight dynamics, velocities, and altitudes; which means platforms no longer need to be engineered for specific altitude ranges or preset velocities, but those parameters can then be selected during launch configuration and are able to adapt actively in flight.
Dramatically Improved Maneuvering Capabilities at Hypersonic Velocities
Hypersonic vehicles, like their less technologically advanced brethren, use large actuator and the developers hope those controls surfaces do not disintegrate in flight. In reality, it is like rolling the dice, they may or may not survive, hence another reason why the attempt to keep velocities to Mach 6 or below. We have shrunken down control actuators while almost doubling torque and response capabilities specifically for hypersonic dynamics and extreme stresses involved, which makes it possible for maximum input authority for Mach 10 and beyond.
Paradigm Shift in Control Surface Methodologies, Increasing Control Authority (Internal Mechanical Applications)
To date, most control surfaces for hypersonic missile platforms still use fins, similar to lower speed conventional missiles, and some using ducted fins. This is mostly due to lack of comprehension of hypersonic velocities in their own favor. Instead, the body itself incorporates those control surfaces, greatly enhancing the airframe strength, opening up more space for hardware and fuel capacity; while simultaneously enhancing the platforms maneuvering capabilities.
A scramjet missile can then fly like conventional missile platforms, and not straight and level at high altitudes, losing velocity on it's decent trajectory to target. Another added benefit to this aspect, is the ability to extend range greatly, so if anyone elses hypersonic missile platform were developed for 400 mile range, falling out of the sky due to lack of glide capabilities; our platforms can easily reach 600+ miles, with minimal glide deceleration.

In 1851, after fires destroyed his general stores in Stockton and San Francisco, Domenico Ghirardelli used his remaining assets to open a coffee house. When that failed, he 0pened a store selling among other things, chocolates. This proved immensely successful, his store incorporating in 1852 as what would become the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, and continuing ever since. By 1900, Ghirardelli was only selling chocolates and mustard (as seen in the smaller sign above). Ghirardelli Chocolates are now well known for its high quality chocolates, as the company controls the entire manufacturing process. The chocolates are cut into squares and many have fillings.
The continuing operation made continuous expansion necessary, and in 1893, a year before he retired Ghirardelli purchased this entire factory complex. The company ran this complex until it was bought by Golden Grain Macaroni Company, who moved the company to San Leandro. The square is now a mediocre restaurant and retail complex, with the Ghirardelli "factory" and store by far being the biggest attraction.

Architec is hopping on the green bandwagon by implementing eco-friendly elements in both its manufacturing process and end products. One of their new lines consists of products made from bamboo. A quick-growing grass, bamboo is renewable and tree-saving, with many of the same attributes as wood. The Gripper cutting board, for example, made of laminated strips of bamboo, is strong and durable, won't absorb moisture, and won't harm knives. The glue used in the lamination process is food-safe. Soft rubber pads, securely anchored beneath each corner without glue, grip the 11-by-14-inch board to the counter to prevent slipping during use. After use, simply wash The Gripper by hand.
Architec The Gripper Eco Friendly Bamboo Cutting Board
Look for other sizes of Architec bamboo cutting boards, as well as innovative cork cutting boards. Removal of cork bark doesn't hurt the tree, which keeps growing and producing more bark. All good news for the planet. --Ann Bieri

The window of the Clyde Model Dockyard, was once a favourite feature of Glasgow’s Argyll Street Arcade. Claiming to be “the shop of a thousand toys for boys”, it didn’t disappoint. Every available space was packed with all kinds of models: trains, ships, planes and cars as well as an in-house brand of model yachts. Staff operated behind a three-fronted counter which took up all three sides of the shop, and had more toys on display below it. A stair on the left wall led upstairs to the store-room where excess stock was held.
A large part of the shop was dedicated to train sets. This was the battlefield for toy makers Meccano Ltd (Hornby) and the Lines Brothers’ with their “Triang” brand. Toy train-sets reached a peak in popularity in the 1950s but then went into a decline, echoing the real world where cars and planes were becoming the way of the future. The shop also sold construction kits and various model-making components, not to mention a good general stock of board games, dolls house furniture, sports equipment and fireworks. Many of the toys were made from tinplate, die-cast metal, or wood as plastic manufacturing processes were still in
their infancy.
Nerbs NERDS, comprised of Anthony Tammaro and Amanda Bowman, created a freestanding floor or tabletop lamp.
"Our lamp was designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. Our intention was to create a lamp which looks smart and possesses strong production potential within the new 'FAB' cottage industry. It packs flat and is easy to assemble. It's materials are inexpensive and recyclable, while it's production process is not labor intensive nor does it have a large carbon footprint. The result is a locally designed and fabricated product which is affordable, highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. I'll take two!
Anthony Tammaro is a new media artist who operates at the intersection of Art, Design, and Craft, Anthony’s most recognizable work leverages his expertise with 3D software and additive manufacturing processes to create novel solutions to design problems related to the body as site. Presently, Anthony is a visiting artist at Rowan University where he is exploring and creating new connections between the Art and Engineering departments to develop interdisciplinary craft and digital studio work.
Amanda Bowman is a recent graduate from Tyler School of Art, Temple University receiving a BFA focused in the Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM department. Bowman uses 3D software and rapid manufacturing technology to create small scale sculpture for the body. She is highly skilled in both traditional and digital studio techniques. "

Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Hypersonic Aircraft
Utilizing new methods of fabrication and construction, make it possible to use additive manufacturing, dramatically reducing the time and costs of producing hypersonic platforms from missiles, aircraft, and space capable craft. Instead of aircraft being produced in piece, then bolted together; small platforms can be produced as a single unit and large platforms can be produces in large section and mated without bolting. These techniques include using exotic materials and advanced assembly processes, with an end result of streamlining the production costs and time for hypersonic aircraft; reducing months of assembly to weeks. Overall, this process greatly reduced the cost for producing hypersonic platforms. Even to such an extent that a Hellfire missile costs apx $100,000 but by utilizing our technologies, replacing it with a Mach 8-10 hypersonic missile of our physics/engineering and that missile would cost roughly $75,000 each delivered.
Materials used for these manufacturing processes are not disclosed, but overall, provides a foundation for extremely high stresses and thermodynamics, ideal for hypersonic platforms. This specific methodology and materials applications is many decades ahead of all known programs. Even to the extend of normalized space flight and re-entry, without concern of thermodynamic failure.
*Note, most entities that are experimenting with additive manufacturing for hypersonic aircraft, this makes it mainstream and standardized processes, which also applies for mass production.
What would normally be measured in years and perhaps a decade to go from drawing board to test flights, is reduced to singular months and ready for production within a year maximum.
Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle (U-TBCC)
To date, the closest that NASA and industry have achieved for turbine based aircraft to fly at hypersonic velocities is by mounting a turbine into an aircraft and sharing the inlet with a scramjet or rocket based motor. Reaction Engines Sabre is not able to achieve hypersonic velocities and can only transition into a non air breathing rocket for beyond Mach 4.5
However, utilizing Unified Turbine Based Combine Cycle also known as U-TBCC, the two separate platforms are able to share a common inlet and the dual mode ramjet/scramjet is contained within the engine itself, which allows for a much smaller airframe footprint, thus engingeers are able to then design much higher performance aerial platforms for hypersonic flight, including the ability for constructing true single stage to orbit aircraft by utilizing a modification/version that allows for transition to outside atmosphere propulsion without any other propulsion platforms within the aircraft. By transitioning and developing aircraft to use Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle, this propulsion system opens up new options to replace that airframe deficit for increased fuel capacity and/or payload.
Enhanced Dynamic Cavitation
Dramatically Increasing the efficiency of fuel air mixture for combustion processes at hypersonic velocities within scramjet propulsion platforms. The aspects of these processes are non disclosable.
Dynamic Scramjet Ignition Processes
For optimal scramjet ignition, a process known as Self Start is sought after, but in many cases if the platform becomes out of attitude, the scramjet will ignite. We have already solved this problem which as a result, a scramjet propulsion system can ignite at lower velocities, high velocities, at optimal attitude or not optimal attitude. It doesn't matter, it will ignite anyways at the proper point for maximum thrust capabilities at hypersonic velocities.
Hydrogen vs Kerosene Fuel Sources
Kerosene is an easy fuel to work with, and most western nations developing scramjet platforms use Kerosene for that fact. However, while kerosene has better thermal properties then Hydrogen, Hydrogen is a far superior fuel source in scramjet propulsion flight, do it having a much higher efficiency capability. Because of this aspect, in conjunction with our developments, it allows for a MUCH increased fuel to air mixture, combustion, thrust; and ability for higher speeds; instead of very low hypersonic velocities in the Mach 5-6 range. Instead, Mach 8-10 range, while we have begun developing hypersonic capabilities to exceed 15 in atmosphere within less then 5 years.
Conforming High Pressure Tank Technology for CNG and H2.
As most know in hypersonics, Hydrogen is a superior fuel source, but due to the storage abilities, can only be stored in cylinders thus much less fuel supply. Not anymore, we developed conforming high pressure storage technology for use in aerospace, automotive sectors, maritime, etc; which means any overall shape required for 8,000+ PSI CNG or Hydrogen. For hypersonic platforms, this means the ability to store a much larger volume of hydrogen vs cylinders.
As an example, X-43 flown by Nasa which flew at Mach 9.97. The fuel source was Hydrogen, which is extremely more volatile and combustible then kerosene (JP-7), via a cylinder in the main body. If it had used our technology, that entire section of the airframe would had been an 8,000 PSI H2 tank, which would had yielded 5-6 times the capacity. While the X-43 flew 11 seconds under power at Mach 9.97, at 6 times the fuel capacity would had yielded apx 66 seconds of fuel under power at Mach 9.97. If it had flew slower, around Mach 6, same principles applied would had yielded apx 500 seconds of fuel supply under power (slower speeds required less energy to maintain).
Enhanced Fuel Mixture During Shock Train Interaction
Normally, fuel injection is conducted at the correct insertion point within the shock train for maximum burn/combustion. Our methodologies differ, since almost half the fuel injection is conducted PRE shock train within the isolator, so at the point of isolator injection the fuel enhances the combustion process, which then requires less fuel injection to reach the same level of thrust capabilities.
Improved Bow Shock Interaction
Smoother interaction at hypersonic velocities and mitigating heat/stresses for beyond Mach 6 thermodynamics, which extraordinarily improves Type 3, 4, and 5 shock interaction.
6,000+ Fahrenheit Thermal Resistance
To date, the maximum thermal resistance was tested at AFRL in the spring of 2018, which resulted in a 3,200F thermal resistance for a short duration. This technology, allows for normalized hypersonic thermal resistance of 3,000-3,500F sustained, and up to 6,500F resistance for short endurance, ie 90 seconds or less. 10-20 minute resistance estimate approximately 4,500F +/- 200F.
*** This technology advancement also applies to Aerospike rocket engines, in which it is common for Aerospike's to exceed 4,500-5,000F temperatures, which results in the melting of the reversed bell housing. That melting no longer ocurrs, providing for stable combustion to ocurr for the entire flight envelope
Scramjet Propulsion Side Wall Cooling
With old technologies, side wall cooling is required for hypersonic flight and scramjet propulsion systems, otherwise the isolator and combustion regions of a scramjet would melt, even using advanced ablatives and ceramics, due to their inability to cope with very high temperatures. Using technology we have developed for very high thermodynamics and high stresses, side wall cooling is no longer required, thus removing that variable from the design process and focusing on improved ignition processes and increasing net thrust values.
Lower Threshold for Hypersonic Ignition
Active and adaptive flight dynamics, resulting in the ability for scramjet ignition at a much lower velocity, ie within ramjet envelope, between Mach 2-4, and seamless transition from supersonic to hypersonic flight, ie supersonic ramjet (scramjet). This active and dynamic aspect, has a wide variety of parameters for many flight dynamics, velocities, and altitudes; which means platforms no longer need to be engineered for specific altitude ranges or preset velocities, but those parameters can then be selected during launch configuration and are able to adapt actively in flight.
Dramatically Improved Maneuvering Capabilities at Hypersonic Velocities
Hypersonic vehicles, like their less technologically advanced brethren, use large actuator and the developers hope those controls surfaces do not disintegrate in flight. In reality, it is like rolling the dice, they may or may not survive, hence another reason why the attempt to keep velocities to Mach 6 or below. We have shrunken down control actuators while almost doubling torque and response capabilities specifically for hypersonic dynamics and extreme stresses involved, which makes it possible for maximum input authority for Mach 10 and beyond.
Paradigm Shift in Control Surface Methodologies, Increasing Control Authority (Internal Mechanical Applications)
To date, most control surfaces for hypersonic missile platforms still use fins, similar to lower speed conventional missiles, and some using ducted fins. This is mostly due to lack of comprehension of hypersonic velocities in their own favor. Instead, the body itself incorporates those control surfaces, greatly enhancing the airframe strength, opening up more space for hardware and fuel capacity; while simultaneously enhancing the platforms maneuvering capabilities.
A scramjet missile can then fly like conventional missile platforms, and not straight and level at high altitudes, losing velocity on it's decent trajectory to target. Another added benefit to this aspect, is the ability to extend range greatly, so if anyone elses hypersonic missile platform were developed for 400 mile range, falling out of the sky due to lack of glide capabilities; our platforms can easily reach 600+ miles, with minimal glide deceleration.

Provenance:
Notes: Justus Freiherr von Liebig (12 May 1803 – 18 April 1873) was a German scientist who made major contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, and is considered one of the principal founders of organic chemistry. As a professor at the University of Giessen, he devised the modern laboratory-oriented teaching method, and for such innovations, he is regarded as one of the greatest chemistry teachers of all time. He has been described as the "father of the fertilizer industry" for his emphasis on nitrogen and trace minerals as essential plant nutrients, and his formulation of the law of the minimum, which described how plant growth relied on the scarcest nutrient resource, rather than the total amount of resources available.He also developed a manufacturing process for beef extracts, and with his consent a company, called Liebig Extract of Meat Company, was founded to exploit the concept; it later introduced the Oxo brand beef bouillon cube. He popularized an earlier invention for condensing vapors, which came to be known as the Liebig condenser.

The watch restoration and assembly room at Prim.
On September 26, 2008 my family and I were privileged to spend the day in the beautiful town of Nové Mesto nad Metují in the east of the Czech Republic, close to the Polish border. Our host was Mr. Jan Prokop, Marketing Director (and principal designer) at the ELTON hodinárská, a.s. - the manufacturers of fine bespoke Prim wristwatches.
Mr. Prokop collected us from our hotel in Prague, drove us to Nové Mesto nad Metují and back (a round trip of three hours), presented their current product range, guided us through their interesting museum, and led us on a tour of the full manufacturing operation at Prim. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we got to see everything from the manufacturing of cases, dials, hesatite crystals and hands through to the final assembly process. We also saw great examples of their bespoke manufacturing capability as well as their top class restoration service. Mr Prokop ended a fine day with a meal and good local beer in a restaurant on the old town square.
Six weeks after our visit I sent my prized Prim Sport "Igen" 38 (produced in the 60's and early-70's) to ELTON where it is currently being restored and modernised to my specification, as well as being personalised. I can't wait to get it back - my first bespoke wristwatch and an heirloom to pass on to my son!
Although obviously sensitive about certain parts of their operation, Mr. Prokop graciously allowed me to take many photographs during our visit, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As you will see, these are truly hand-made watches that combine both leading edge design and manufacturing processes and age-old processes and technologies. It is this progressive traditionalism and craftsmanship that gives these unique timepieces their individual character...and I love them!
Scrapers - "PALEO TOOLS: The kinds of tools used by the Paleoindians can tell us much about their way of life. Most of the tools surviving today are made of stone. Spear points, knives, drills, and scrapers are typical Paleoindian artifacts. They were used for a variety of tasks, including hunting and butchering animals, processing plants, and working raw materials to make other tools. Archaeological sites of the Paleoindians contain mostly chipped stone tools and waste flakes left from the manufacturing process. However it is almost certain that these people made wide use of other raw materials including bone, wood, ivory, and antler. Objects made of these materials do not preserve as well as stone and have likely decayed over the past 10,000 years. Springs, sinkholes and deep river beds offer good conditions for preserving organic materials because of their high mineral content and lack of oxygen. Fragments of bone, wood, and other plant remains will give clues to future archaeologists who research the skills that Paleoindians needed to survive in Ice Age Florida.

"PALEOINDIANS: The earliest people who inhabited North America are called Paleoindians. They came to Florida during the end of the last Ice Age, at least 12,000 years ago. Their way of life lasted for about 2,500 years. Archaeologists have found few Paleoindian sites. If, as it seems likely, these early people lived along the coast of Florida, their settlements have been covered by the rising sea level. Compared to later Florida Indian cultures, Paleoindians lived in small, widely dispersed groups. Their artifacts are often found around outcrops of a flint-like rock called chert. Pieces of chert were chipped, or knapped, to make stone tools. Paleoindian artifacts are also found in springs, sinkholes and rivers that were probably ancient waterholes. These were important sources of fresh water in an otherwise dry landscape.
PALEO TIMELINE: 12,000 B.P. to 9,500 B.P. (Before present) - EARLY PALEO PERIOD: 12,000-10,000 BP - Simpson point on mammoth ivory foreshaft (circa 11,500 BP) - First evidence of people on the Florida peninsula, Paleoindians live a semi-nomadic life, hunt big game like mastadon, climate was drier than today, and sea level is more than 100 feet lower than today. - Bison antiguns skull with embedded spearpoint, Wacissa River (circa 11,000 BP).
LATE PALEO PERIOD: 10,000 to 9500 BP - stone bola weight (circa 10,000 BP) had most big game animals extinct, wetter climate prevails, sea level rises gradually, several new styles of stone points appear, like the side notched bolan point. " ~ Display in the Florida Museum of Natural History.

MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
For the corporate design of this year's competition and the new Web Visuals also sensomatic design, Vienna, is responsible. Since June 2014, the new online archive on the homepage of the 100 Best Posters Registered Association offers a comprehensive overview of all award-winning works from the years 2001-2014.

Guo’s group is systematically improving the light power distribution in OLEDs by removing the waveguide mode and optimizing the organic stacks and the ultrathin AG anode. This simple yet effective method leads to significantly enhanced performance of the external quantum efficiency of the OLED.
Guo’s solution is not only simple in process but also can achieve high throughput and low cost with excellent compatibility with the large-scale manufacturing process in the display industry. In principle, the modal elimination approach introduced in this work could be extended to other solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs) such as perovskites, quantum-dots, or III-V based LEDs since all of which are susceptible to the issue of light trapping as waveguide mode.

Customized card accessories are applied on ordinary plastic cards to achieve data input and record, highlighting the design focus and anti-counterfeiting features. It includes id card accessories and plastic card accessories.
Applications
Plastic card accessories include the magnetic stripe, scratch-off label, signature panel, stamp foil and laser hologram.
(1)Magnetic stripe as the carrier of personal information is the important accessory of the loyalty card. A plastic magnetic stripe card after encoding process can be a bank card, or a hotel key card, or a casino loyalty card, or a hypermarket discount card, or a library card, or a fuel card etc.
(2)Scratch-off is used to prevent PIN code from being stolen by third parties before the cardholder sees it. Scratch-off label is available in a variety of materials, sizes and patterns. Once the scratch-off is destroyed, it means that the PIN code has been exposed.
(3)Signature panel is made of a kind of white or transparent ink that is screen printed according with the customized size and shape. On the panel the card holder can write necessary information as name, title, address and expiry date.
(4)By hot stamp process the customized logo or pattern can be applied on card surface to highlight its outline and colors.
(5)Laser hologram is one of the anti-counterfeiting technology products. The main material of this kind of mark is aluminum oxide film. It can be printed with corporate information, logo, trademark and also with a portrait or other custom pattern or line. Its common application on plastic cards is bank card such as VISA or MASTER cards. Because of the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process, it has also become an effective anti-counterfeiting technology for loyalty cards.

In spring 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps introduced the Sopwith Triplane, a three-winged version of the earlier Sopwith Pup fighter. The “Tripe” was only built in limited numbers, but it was issued to elite pilots, such as the famous “Black Flight” of the Royal Naval Air Service—commanded by ace Raymond Collishaw, the Black Flight’s five Triplanes shot down 87 German aircraft in three months.
The German Luftstreitskrafte reacted with shock. To this point, the Germans had usually enjoyed a qualitative advantage over the Allies in the air with their Albatros D.IIIs The Triplane could operate higher and was faster than German fighters, which gave their British and Canadian adversaries the advantage in a dogfight. Germany embarked on a crash program to field their own triplanes, with 37 manufacturers all producing prototypes. The best by far, however, was Fokker’s Dreidekker I, abbreviated Dr.I. After a short period of testing of prototypes, two pre-production aircraft were built and sent to the Western Front for evaluation. Both were given to exceptional pilots—Manfred von Richthofen and Werner Voss. Richthofen, testing the Dr.I in combat for the first time in September 1917, promptly shot down two aircraft and proclaimed the Dr.I a superb aircraft, if tricky to fly. If there was any doubt of its lethality, it was removed on 23 September, when Voss engaged nine British SE.5s of 56 Squadron, all of which were flown by British aces with more than ten victories apiece. Though Voss was killed, his skill and the Dr.I’s manueverability held off nine British aces for ten minutes. Fokker immediately received a production order for 300 Dr.Is.
In combat, the Dr.I was not as fast as the Albatros, but it had a higher rate of climb and phenomenal manueverability—the design was slightly unstable, but an experienced pilot could use its high lift, light controls, and the torque of the engine to make snap rolls to the right almost within the length of the aircraft. It required an experienced pilot, especially on landing, where the torque of the engine and the wings also had a tendency to ground-loop the aircraft. This could be fatal, because the position of the two Spandau machine guns extending into the cockpit could cause a crash-landing pilot to hurtle forward into the gun butts, face-first. The Oberursel engine had a tendency to fall off in power at higher altitudes due to poor lubrication. By far, however, the worst drawback of the Dr.I was its tendency towards wing failures, which were initially believed due to poor workmanship by Fokker. It would be not until after the war that it was learned that the very triple-winged design of the Dreidekker was the problem: the top wing exerted more lift than the bottom two, with the result that the top wing would literally lift itself away from the rest of the aircraft. While it was possible to still fly with the missing top wing, the Dr.I would not fly for long and the pilot would have to make a high-speed landing in an aircraft notorious for crash landings.
Though the Dr.I was issued to two Jasta wings, including von Richthofen’s, in 1917-1918, it was never very popular with the majority of German pilots, and the production of the superb Fokker D.VII, which started about the same time, meant that the Luftstreitskrafte already had a fighter that was faster and more durable than the Dr.I, if not quite as manueverable. A few German aces still preferred the Dr.I, namely von Richthofen—because of the Dreidekker was good at something, it was attacking from ambush. A skilled ace could quickly gain altitude over an unsuspecting enemy, dive down, attack, and then use the kinetic energy built in the dive to zoom back to position, or manuever out of trouble with a quick right roll. Von Richthofen would score his last 20 (out of 80) kills in the Dr.I.
Following the end of World War I, nearly all of Germany’s fighters were purposely burned, either by their own pilots or by the Allies. By World War II, only one Dr.I was known to exist, one of von Richthofen’s aircraft, preserved in a museum in Berlin; the museum was flattened in an Allied bombing raid in 1944. Today, only scattered pieces of original Dr.Is exist. However, the simple manufacturing process of World War I fighters meant that reproductions could easily be built, and several dozen Dr.I replicas continue to fly today.
Naturally, this is a replica Dr.I, built in 1982 by a private collector in Ohio. Planes of Fame in Chino, California acquired it in 2013. Like many Dr.I replicas, it is painted in Richthofen's colors, that of his "show plane," 152/17, which retained the earlier Maltese crosses and white stripes; the Dr.I he was killed in had Latin crosses and no white markings. It is still flyable, and is displayed with two of the Dr.I's adversaries--a Sopwith Pup and a Hanriot HD.1.

In blue plastic boxes are washed ceramic shards to the dry out, behind it are placed on a wall lined up building helmets. Due to the shape, color and composition of the clay, small ceramic pieces of flake also reveal information about the manufacturing process and provide information on the dating process. Thus, all fragments found are carefully washed. If paint can be seen before, these shards are cleaned with a moistened cotton swab in order not to damage the colors. Afterwards, the diagnostic fragments such as floors, borders and decorated shards, which in particular allow statements on the dating are sorted out. In further work steps, the material is photographed and drawn and the important information is entered into the database. ¦ Image#3_100
