Honeywell: The future is here!

Honeywell: The future is here!

Honeywell is a global high-tech company. Its business focuses on three major development trends: automation, future aviation, and energy transformation. Relying on Honeywell Accelerator Operation System and Honeywell Enterprise Intelligent Integration Software Platform, it provides a wide range of technologies and services to multiple industries worldwide. Back in 1885, an inventor named Albert Butz founded the Butz Electronic Thermostat Company in Minneapolis, USA. Later, he successfully developed a sophisticated device called "damper damper" that can help automatically adjust the indoor temperature. When the room temperature drops below the preset temperature, the thermostat will connect the circuit, pull the damper off the motor gear, rotate the crank connected to the motor shaft, drive the chain to open the damper of the furnace, and when air comes in, the fire will automatically burn and heat up. When the temperature rises to the preset level, the thermostat will send a signal to the motor to close the damper to suppress the fire. For many years, many of Honeywells products have extended this closed-loop system design. The companys outstanding performance was noticed and acquired by Consolidated Temperature Controlling Co. Incorporated. In 1893, the company was renamed Electric Heat Regulator Co. The companys first advertisement was the famous thermostat. In 1898, the Electric Heat Regulator Company was acquired by W. R. Sweatt and renamed Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company in 1916. The companys product line continued to expand. In 1904, young engineer Mark Honeywell perfected the heater as part of his pipe manufacturing and heating business. Two years later, Honeywell Heating Specialty Co., incorporated, was founded to specialize in water heaters. Later, Electric Heat Regulator Co. expanded its product line and changed its name to Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company (MHR). In 1927, Minneapolis Heat Regulator Co. merged with Honeywell Specialty Heater Co. to create Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co., which became the largest producer of high-quality jewelry and watches. The company made several successful acquisitions in the field of controllers during its operations, notably Brown Instrument Co., a global leader in industrial controllers and indicators and the inventor of the pyrometer. After more than 30 years of development, the company was officially renamed Honeywell in 1963, but in fact, people had inadvertently called the company Honeywell for nearly 40 years before that. On July 20, 1969, Honeywells instruments helped Apollo 11 and American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin land on the moon. Honeywell provided critical components for this mission. For example, 16,000 Honeywell components were used in the 14 independent electronic devices that make up the stability and control system (SCS). At the same time, Honeywell pilots assisted in flight testing. In 1999, Honeywell and AlliedSignal merged, and the merged company continued to use the Honeywell name. AlliedSignals history can be traced back to World War I. At that time, Germany controlled most of the worlds chemical industry, causing shortages of commodities such as fuel and medicine. To this end, in 1920, Eugene Meyer, publisher of The Washington Post, and scientist William Nichols combined five American chemical companies established in the 19th century to form Allied Chemical & Dye Corporation, which was renamed Allied Chemical Corp. in 1958. In 1981, the company was renamed Allied Corporation. In 1983, it acquired the aerospace and automotive company Bendix Corp. In 1984, Bendix accounted for 50% of Allieds revenue, and the oil and gas business accounted for 38%. In 1985, Allied Corporation merged with Signal Companies, which brought about a qualitative leap in aerospace, automotive and engineering materials businesses. Signal Companies was founded by Sam Mosher in 1922. In 1991, AlliedSignal, under new CEO Larry Bossidy and new leadership in many key businesses, began a comprehensive transformation program. Bold moves were made to improve cash flow and operating margins, increase productivity, and prepare the company for global competition in the coming years. In 1993, AlliedSignal changed its name to AlliedSignal to reinforce the image of a single company and to signal the full integration of the businesses. In the early 21st century, Honeywell continued to grow by acquiring businesses in various industries. In 2005, we acquired Universal Oil Products (UOP), a leading international supplier and licensor of services for oil refining, natural gas processing, petrochemical production, and major manufacturing industries. Three years later, we acquired Metrologic Instruments, which produces lasers, mobile imaging, and long-range scanners. In 2016, Intelligrated joined the mix. They provide automation solutions for distribution centers and warehouses. Honeywell spun off its home furnishing business into a separate, publicly traded company. Resideo, which still manufactures Honeywell home furnishing products as a licensed brand. In the same year, the transportation systems business was also spun off as Garrett Motion. In August 2019, Honeywell moved its headquarters from Morris Plains, New Jersey to Charlotte, North Carolina.

UKIDSS - The Next Generation Near-Infrared Sky Survey

UKIDSS - The Next Generation Near-Infrared Sky Survey

UKIDSS is the next generation of near-infrared surveys, the successor to 2MASS. UKIDSS began in May 2005 and will survey 7500 square degrees of the northern sky, covering both high and low galactic latitudes, from JHK to K=18.3. This depth is three magnitudes deeper than 2MASS. UKIDSS will be the true near-infrared counterpart of the Sloan Survey and will produce a panoramic and sharp atlas of the Milky Way plane. In fact, UKIDSS consists of five surveys, including two deep extragalactic elements, one covering 35 square degrees to K=21 and the other covering 0.77 square degrees to K=23. The survey instrument is WFCAM on the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii. WFCAM has four 2048x2048 Rockwell instruments with a spacing of 94%, and a pixel ratio of 0.4 arc seconds giving an exposed solid angle of 0.21 square degrees. The four main targets of UKIDSS include: the coolest and nearest brown dwarfs, high-redshift dusty starburst galaxies, elliptical galaxies and galaxy clusters at redshift 1‹z‹2, and quasars at the highest redshift (z=7). UKIDSS aims to discover the nearest objects to the Sun (outside the Solar System) as well as some of the most distant objects known in the Universe. The UKIDSS Consortium consists of about 100 astronomers who design and conduct the survey. Once archived, the data are available to the entire ESO community. Data are released to the world 18 months after each release to ESO.

Library of Congress

Library of Congress

The Library of Congress is the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States and a research institution of Congress. It is also the largest library in the world, with a collection of more than 162 million items. The collection includes books, recordings, films, photographs, maps and manuscripts. The Library of Congress is one of the largest libraries in the world and one of the most important libraries in the world. It is located on Capitol Hill in Washington and was officially opened in April 1800. It is the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States. The establishment and development of the Library of Congress has a rich history. Initially, on April 24, 1800, as the US government moved from Philadelphia to Washington, the second president John Adams signed a bill to allocate $5,000 for the purchase of books and equipping warehouses, and the Library of Congress was born, with only 740 books and 3 maps at the time. Later, the library caught fire twice in 1814 and 1851, resulting in the destruction of 2/3 of the precious books in the collection. In 1816, its use was expanded to some senior officials. Acts passed in 1802 and 1806 further regulated the librarys related work. After the Anglo-American War in 1814, former President Jefferson sold his 6,487 private collections to Congress, allowing the Library of Congress to regain its first collection. In 1832, 2,011 legal books were separated from the collection to form a separate legal library. The revised Copyright Act in 1846 gave the Library of Congress the right to preserve the deposited copies. Although the Act was revoked in 1859, the Copyright Act was revised again in 1865 to restore the deposit to the Library of Congress. After 1870, with the promulgation of a series of laws, the library has undergone many reforms, reorganizations, new construction and expansions. The library has 75 million works, about 18 million bound volumes alone, and nearly 121 million items of various collections. More than two-thirds of the books are stored in multimedia form. Its rich and diverse collection resources cover books, periodicals, legal documents, manuscripts, maps, musical works, films, and various non-print materials, including many rare books, special collections, the worlds largest maps, film and television films, etc. It not only meets the research needs of the U.S. Congress, but also opens its knowledge treasures to scholars and the public around the world through advanced digital technology and services. The Library of Congress consists of the Jefferson Building, the Adams Building, and the Madison Memorial Building. It is not only a treasure house of knowledge, but also an important symbol of American knowledge and democracy, and occupies an important position in American culture.

Australian Accommodation | YHA

Australian Accommodation | YHA

YHA Australia is a purpose-built, membership-based organisation that has been providing low-cost, quality short-term accommodation to curious travellers for over 80 years. The global youth hostel movement began in rural Germany over a hundred years ago when teacher Richard Schirrmann took some students on a tour of the country. The first permanent hostel (still in business today, at Altena Castle) opened in 1912. In 1932, Hostelling International (HI), a global network of not-for-profit youth hostel associations, was founded. Momentum built and the first YHA hostel in Australia opened in 1939 in Warlandette, Victoria. Soon after, budget accommodation began to be offered around the country for young people to meet outdoors. Over the decades, hostels began to pop up in cities and bushland, growing the humble hostel into Australias largest and most popular accommodation network for independent travellers. Today, YHA Australia offers a wide range of accommodation options for students, digital nomads, working and holidaymakers, families and the young at heart - anyone with an adventurous spirit - to continue exploring and sharing the joy of travel with a like-minded community. We own, operate and partner with a wide range of properties across Australia, offering private and shared accommodation, with facilities such as on-site swimming pools, kitchens and open-air rooftops. We create unique, sustainable spaces in a safe, welcoming environment with just the right amount of modern comfort - giving you the freedom to explore. We dont believe in one size fits all and from bustling city destinations to off the beaten track, there is something for everyone - whether you live here or are just visiting. Imagine taking in Opera House views from the rooftop of YHA Sydney Harbour, or sleeping in a cell at the historic Fremantle Gaol, or hiking back to an eco-friendly accommodation in the heart of a national park. Our property staff are hosts, guides and most importantly, locals, helping you understand our destinations, culture and experiences - ensuring you feel part of the local community and make the most of your trip. We currently have 40 hostels across the country and are part of Hostelling International (HI), an organisation with over 3,000 unique places to stay in over 70 countries.
