XBT Tracker is a free and open-source BitTorrent tracker written in C++ by Olaf van der Spek. Because it is a "pure" tracker, it does not offer a frontend. The software is specifically designed to consume few resources, while maintaining a high level of performance. It listens on port 2710 by default. XBT Tracker uses MySQL, but it can also run without it.

The project was hosted at Sourceforge until it moved to Google Code in 2011. In 2015, source moved to GitHub.

Bathythermograph Device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in water temperature versus depth

The bathythermograph, or BT, also known as the Mechanical Bathythermograph, or MBT; is a small torpedo-shaped device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in water temperature versus depth down to a depth of approximately 285 meters. Lowered by a small winch on the ship into the water, the BT records pressure and temperature changes on a coated glass slide as it is dropped nearly freely through the water. While the instrument is being dropped, the wire is paid out until it reaches a predetermined depth, then a brake is applied and the BT is drawn back to the surface. Because the pressure is a function of depth, temperature measurements can be correlated with the depth at which they are recorded.
