Dr. Michael Orshansky, assistant professor of electrical engineering at The University of Texas at Austin poses for a photo in the stairway in ACES building where he works.
His research interests include developing software that accurately describes microchip behavior at the smallest level, as well as software for designing more reliable microchips.
Dr. Orshansky's work has led him to received a $400,000, five-year National Science Foundation Early Career Development (CAREER) award, among the most prestigious given to young faculty.
A leaflet issued in September 1960 describing various products and services supplied by BICC - British Insulated Callender's Construction - for railway overhead electrification. At the time the company were heavily involved in the West Coast Main Line electrification for British Railways, London Midland Region, and they also won contracts for work in Eastern and Scottish Regions. British Railways had not long adopted the 25kvAC system as a national standard in place of the earlier 1500vDC system that had been used on the completion of schemes initiated by the LNER.
BICC was formed when the two major companies Callender's Cable & Construction Company and British Insulated Cables merged in 1945. As well as manufacturing cables the company also provided design and construction services for a wide range of products as seen on the back page of this leaflet. As well as examples of components for overhead, such as contact wire parts, section insulators and pulleys, the company had a research laboratory which is shown alongside drawing offices and assembly shops. A new British railways London Midland Region EMU is seen running under a newly completed installation of overhead, most likely on the Manchester - Crewe section of the WCML electrification that had not long opened.

Department in the "Doghouse"
Mr. John Alva joined the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1962 when it was “in the doghouse” in Wood Street, Newcastle West. The Department was the only component of the Newcastle University College spilt away from the College at Tighes Hill. Originally part of Newcastle Technical College, it was fated to remain in Newcastle West until 1966.
Mr Alva retired from his position as Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering on August 9. A farewell dinner in his honour was held in the Southern Cross Lounge in the Union.
Born in Turkey, Mr. Alva won a scholarship which enabled him to obtain an undergraduate degree at the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and a master’s at King’s College in the University of London.
From about 1950 he spent an interesting period helping to pioneer aspects of the project that provided submerged telephone systems across the world’s oceans.
“As an engineer with the British Post Office Research Station based at Dollis Hill, I was a member of a group which developed repeaters which lasted underwater more 20 years without giving trouble,” Mr. Alva said.
“The line between Scotland and the United States was the first section to be finished. Finally, when the submerged telephone system across the Pacific was joined up to Sidney, the earth was girded.”
John has memories of the Newcastle West breach of the University College. The head of Electrical Engineering was Bert Middlehurst., and Col Yates, John Caldwell and John Alva were the other academics. The Laboratory Craftsman was Ron Goohew, who was a part-time student.
“During the early years many students were converting diplomas to degrees. Most were part-timers and were more motivated than some present-day students.
“Although it was a terrific challenge to keep ahead of the students, I enjoyed my teaching role very much,” he said.
John Alva says that the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is a very pleasant place in which to work.
He expects to return to the campus on several occasions to work-out with the staff volleyball team. Otherwise, his main pursuits will be traveling with his wife, Sylvia, (initially to India) and working around the house."

"Nikola Tesla nacque allo scoccare della mezzanotte tra il 9 e il 10 lugliodel 1856, nel villaggio di Smiljan, nella provincia di Lika, in Croazia, tra i monti Velebit e la costa orientale del mare Adriatico. La piccola casa in cui venne alla luce sorgeva accanto alla chiesa serba ortodossa di cue era capo il padre, il reverendo Milutin Tesla."
"The pressure suit was composed of five layers and the team had to make sure that it would hold pressure, as well as check the comm system, connect the antifog filaments in the helmet, and a number of other things."
