The article informs about presenting a critical challenge to both municipal and institutional menstrual health management. It mentions that the challenge inspired Ajinkya Dhariya, a social entrepreneur in India, to start a sanitary waste management com pany called Pad Care Labs. It further informs that Pad Care is an automated hygiene management system that turns materials used in the production of sanitary pads into plastic pallets which can be reused to produce other products.

The article reports that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other government agencies are using the Saildrone design for lengthy marine data gathering missions, and one became the first uncrewed vessel to successfully circumnavigate Antarctica. It mentions that Solar panels power scientific instruments and equipment with vessels are monitored on their voyages via satellite, but they operate independently through the course of their travels.

The article focuses on the research paper "Immersion Graded Index Optics: Theory, Design, and Prototypes," by Nina Vaidya, a professor of astronautics, published in June 2022 issue of the journal "Microsystems & Nanoengineering." It describes a pyramidical lens composed of several layers of materials having different refraction indices, designed by Vaidya to deliver sunlight three times more than a solar panel in a day.

The article discusses the trends in digital product development. It highlights the developments in the engineering industry from the use of paper engineering drawing to three-dimensional (3-D) wire-frames. It cites that these changes in the engineering industry have been brought about by advances in information technology (IT). Moreover, it explores the three categories when examining trends in digital product development, which would be helpful in predicting the future of mechanical engineering. These categories include technology modeling, geometry modeling and process modeling.

The article informs about some engineers who have been nominated for the Fellow grade of membership by the Board of Governors of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Some of these nominated engineers include Memis Acar, Khairul Alam, David G. Alciatore, David M. Anderson, Malcolm J. Andrews, to name only a few. Acar has been a researcher and faculty member for 30 years. He has written over 120 journal and conference papers and has recieved over two million dollars in grant money from national and international sources. Anderson has had a 33-year industrial career and holds professional registrations in Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering.

The article focuses on digital tools have transformed publishing and magazine work involves manipulating text and image files or communicating via emait and Zoom. Topics include the magazines exist mostly as digital information until the very moment ink hits the paper on the printing press, and manufacturing has evolved in the same general direction.
