Sidereal engineering reads as either a Culture novel or Ringword, but I can't guess.
Number 9 might be Lem's "His Master's Voice," but I'm apparently terrible at guessing these.
#3, I bet "Adhesive Plaster" is from the 1930s at the latest, probably the '20s, because plaster was the band-aid(TM) of its day, so Adhesive plastic was the futuriffic version.
