NDT WORKING GROUP CHARTER 1. Foreword. Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is integral to quality assurance in procurement, construction, overhaul, and maintenance of ships of the United States Navy. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) recognizes the value of an NDT Working Group dedicated to improving NDT processes as they apply to Naval ships’ systems and components, and the Working Group is essential to the following NAVSEA Commander’s Mission Priorities: Mission Priority #1 - On-Time Delivery of Ships and Submarines Mission Priority #2 - Culture of Affordability Mission Priority #3 - Cybersecurity 2. Vision. The NDT Working Group will drive innovation to be the instrument for improving NDT processes specified in NAVSEA Technical Publications, Standards or Specifications associated with NDT. 3. Purpose. a. The group will address and recommend resolution to the proper technical authority those NDT issues associated with constructing, maintaining and operating Naval ships. b. The group will work as a team sharing ideas, information, successes, best practices, and failures. c. The group will pursue improvements, effectively integrating all stakeholders. d. The group will receive guidance, approval, support, and/or limitations from NAVSEA 04X6. d. The group will determine applicable action items from inputs received from stakeholders and/or NAVSEA 04X6.

  • Prologue - Preparing the Way for the Columbia Cars, and the Formation of the Electric Vehicle Company
    Prologue - Preparing the way for the Columbia cars, and the formation of the Electric Vehicle Company Electrobat Morris and Salom Electrobat The Electrobat was the first successful electric automobile to ever be created. Mechanical engineer Henry G. Morris and chemist Pedro G. Salom from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were responsible for this marvel of engineering. Pedro J. Salom was the president of the Electrical Lead Reduction Company which was incorporated in 1899. This company produced products supporting the manufacturing of early batteries. Salom was an electrochemical engineer. With solid backgrounds in battery streetcars, they decided to team up and make battery road vehicles. The Electrobat was the result of their combined efforts. It was patented on August 31, 1894 and it entered production in 1895. It was a slow, heavy vehicle, built like a smaller version of a battery streetcar. The vehicle was indeed a very heavy carriage, with steel tires to support the immense weight caused from the then new Lead Acid Battery. The two men then founded the Morris and Salom Electric Wagon and Carriage Company – the first electric car company in the United States of America. The first test ride for this first electric car was on Broad Street. A special permit was required from City Hall, and a policeman had to travel in front if the EV, clearing any horse carriages to prevent the animals to panic. With continuous research and development, the later versions of the Electrobat were lighter, faster and less ungainly. They had pneumatic tires and steered by their rear wheels. The newer versions ran on two 1.5-horsepower (1.1 kW) motors that worked for 25 miles (40 km) per charge at 20 mph (32 km/h).

  • Von Gönnern Und Könnern Gab Es Jemals Mäzenatentum Im Schach?
    Von Gönnern und Könnern Gab es jemals Mäzenatentum im Schach? Jakob Philipp Hackert: Villa des Maecenas in Tivoli, 1783 präsentiert von Dr. Michael Negele und Dr. Helmut Pfleger bei der 27. Schachmeisterschaft für Ärztinnen und Ärzte in Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, 16. März 2019 Durchaus ein Leitfaden für angehende Mäzene … Ein Mäzen (auch Mäzenat, weiblich Mäzenin bzw. Mäzenatin) ist eine Person, die eine Institution oder Person(en) mit Geld oder geldwerten Mitteln bei der Umsetzung eines Vorhabens unterstützt, ohne eine direkte Gegenleistung zu verlangen. Die Bezeichnung geht zurück auf Gaius Cilnius Maecenas * um 68 v. Chr. in Arretium (dem heutigen Arezzo) † 8 v. Chr. in Rom ➔ Merke: Ein Mäzen sollte von schlichtem, herzlichem und aufrichtigem Wesen sein. Seinen Nachruhm errang der “Wohlleben und Prunk” schätzende Maecenas durch seine Förderung junger Dichter in Rom, so des Publius Vergilius Maro (Vergil), des Sextus Aurelius Propertius (Properz) und des Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horaz) die ihre Dankbarkeit in „lobhudelnden“ Gedichten bezeugten. Dessen eigene Dichtkunst sparten sie dabei wohlweislich aus. Vertrauter des Augustus zu sein, war nicht einfach Vor allem, wenn der Kaiser auf die eigene Gattin „schöne Augen“ wirft Der legendäre Reichtum des Maecenas’ war nur zum Teil ererbt. Stellung und Einfluss verdankte er seiner engen Beziehung zum Kaiser Augustus. Er war - diplomatisch geschickt und ohne persönlichen Ehrgeiz - früh der Vertraute und politische Berater des kaum jüngeren Gaius Octavius, dem Großneffen Cäsars, geworden. Maecenas’ wirkte spürbar auf die römische Politik ein, heutzutage wäre er ein begnadeter „Lobbyist“. Nie trat er aus dem Schatten des Augustus als Lenker des Staates. Pikanterweise fand Octavian später Gefallen an Terentia, der schönen Gattin des Maecenas’, die Ehe wurde im Jahre 16 v.
