	Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering, Ltd (VSEL) was a shipbuilding company based at Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in northwest England that builds warships and armaments.
		In 1994 VSEL was subject to two takeover proposals, one from GEC and another from British Aerospace (BAe).
		VSEL was willing to participate in a merger with a larger company to reduce its exposure to cycles in warship production, particularly following the "Options for Change" defence review following the end of the Cold War.

	Multiple VSEL assembly for read/write and tracking applications in optical disks - Patent 5894467
		In addition, multiple VSELs for writing the disk may be implemented on the common substrate thereby increasing the rate at which data is written to the disk.
		Finally, detectors may be fabricated on the same substrate as the lasers thereby providing a read/write disk head on a single integrated circuit substrate at a fraction of the cost of the edge emitting laser currently used to construct the disk heads.
		For the purpose of this discussion, it is sufficient to note that VSEL 100 may be viewed as a p-i-n diode having a top mirror region 18, a light generation region 114, and bottom mirror region 119.

	British Aerospace Public Limited Company and VSEL Plc
		VSEL, at Barrow-in-Furness, owns the only one of the three warship-building yards currently operational in the UK that can build both submarines and surface warships over 7,000 tonnes.
		Tenders have been invited for the Type 23s and three of the B2TCs; VSEL is expected to bid for both contracts, with competition expected from YSL and VT for the Type 23s, and from a team led by GEC using innovative construction methods for the B2TCs.
		For the larger warships for which orders may be placed after 2005, VSEL at present has the only proven construction facilities in the UK, but the proposed merger would not bring it into the ownership of a company that also owned another warship yard.

		Bids were received from Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Limited (VSEL) and Swan Hunter Shipbuilders that October, with the intention to place a contract by the end of November 1993.
		Integral to VSEL's prime contracting approach was the subcontracting of the construction and basic outfitting of the hull to Kvaerner Govan Ltd (KGL) in Glasgow, an experienced mercantile shipbuilder employing modern and efficient construction practices.
		The ship was signed over to VSEL on 25 November, and berthed alongside in Buccleath Dock at Barrow-in-Furness on 28 November for the installation, outfitting and setting-to-work of those features required to make the vessel fit for military purpose.

		If the VSEL stem cells in human act like the special ones they found in mice and other scientists can duplicate the process, the discovery goes from "very important" to "incredibly important," Dr. Stephen Emerson, chief of hematology/oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, where Ratajczak once worked, told the Louisville paper.
		The research team says the VSEL cells also help overcome the problem embryonic stem cells have of patient's immune systems rejecting the cells.

		When GEC fought off British Aerospace to win VSEL, it said there were no plans to rationalise the two yards and it intended to keep both open.
		However, Richard Leonard, assistant secretary of the Scottish TUC said: "Some job cuts had been anticipated, but not now and not on this scale." He said this suggested that the redundancies were about more than just a gap in the order book.

		On Wednesday 18th November, seven peace activists - four of them from Sweden, two from Liverpool and one from Staffordshire - and two accompanying journalists were arrested at the VSEL shipyard in Barrow, north of England, as the activists attempted a nonviolent "Citizens' Inspection" of the Trident submarine, HMS Vengeance.
		The aim of the "Citizens' Inspection" was to "identify and inspect the development of weapons of mass destruction by VSEL and the British government".
		The group believe that "such weapons - with their huge waste of resources, and with the threat they represent to life - are a crime against humanity, especially the world's poor".

		Because the fiber optic hardware inhibition has been released, the State Machine's assertion of VSEL is permitted, and bias voltage is applied to the SVT.
		When the SVT transitions out of Runnable, the State Machine first lowers VSEL, and requests for bias voltage to be removed from all of the detector.
		After a sufficient timeout period and several consistency checks which confirm that the the bias VMON and IMON are indeed off, the State Machine sends the CANbus request to the SVTRAD modules to relax their thresholds.

	£2bn contract for new 'Astute' subs awarded to VSEL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A NEW "Astute" class of nuclear submarine was created yesterday when the Ministry of Defence announced a £2 billion project to build three boats armed with torpedoes and cruise missiles.
		Astute was an A-class submarine that saw service in the Pacific and the Far East through the 1950s and 1960s.
		The announcement ends months of uncertainty over the contract that arose partly because VSEL and GEC-Marconi made separate bids, only for the latter company to buy the former in 1995.

		Very small embryonic like (VSEL) adult stem cells could open the door to effective therapies and quiet those bent on the destruction of human embryos in the process if human versions of VSEL prove as versatile and capable as those of the mice.
		In addition, VSEL cells also help overcome the chief problem of embryonic stem cells, which are often rejected as foreign matter by a patient’s immune system.
		According to Dr. Ratajczak, “We have found a counterpart for embryonic stem cells in adult bone marrow.” Members of his research staff were excited about the discovery.
