Bricx Command Center. Bricx Command Center (BricxCC) is the integrated development environment (IDE) of Next Byte Codes (NBC), Not Quite C (NQC) and Not eXactly C (NXC). These programming languages are used to program the Robots in the Lego Mindstorms series. Not Quite C and Not eXactly C have a syntax like C. Bricx Command Center is currently limited to computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. However, a version for the Linux operating system is currently in development. It is written by John Hansen.

Custom firmware
Unlike other programming languages for the Lego Mindstorms series like ROBOTC, custom firmware is not needed. However, it is  needed when the Lego Mindstorms NXT Intelligent Brick must connect with Bricx Command Center via Bluetooth or when increasing robot performance and functionality (various NBC/NXC Enhanced Firmware exclusive syscalls).

Mobile manipulator. A mobile manipulator is a robot system built from a robotic manipulator arm mounted on a mobile platform.

Description 

A mobile robotic system combines the mobility offered by a mobile platform and dexterity offered by the manipulator. The mobile platform offers an extended workspace to the manipulator and more degrees of freedom to operate in. However, the operation of such a system is challenging because of the many degrees of freedom and the unstructured environment that it performs in. A system is generally composed of the mobile platform, the robotic manipulator arm, vision components, and tooling components.

Use cases 
Mobile manipulation is a subject of focus in development and research environments.
Mobile manipulators, either autonomous or remote operated, are used in many areas, such as space exploration, military operations, home care and health care. Within the industrial field, the implementation of mobile manipulators has been limited. The necessary technology entities (mobile platforms, robot manipulators, vision, and tooling) are, to a large extent, available from off-the-shelf components.

Few implementations of mobile robots in the industrial field have been reported due to the center of attention being drawn on optimization of the individual technologies, especially robot manipulators
 and tooling, while the integration, use, and application have been neglected in the field of industrial mobile manipulation. This means that few implementations of mobile robots, in production environments, have been reported – e.g. and.

Configuration design. Configuration design is a kind of design where a fixed set of predefined components that can be interfaced (connected) in predefined ways is given, and an assembly (i.e. designed artifact) of components selected from this fixed set is sought that satisfies a set of requirements and obeys a set of constraints.

The associated design configuration problem consists of the following three constituent tasks:
 Selection of components,
 Allocation of components, and
 Interfacing of components (design of ways the components interface/connect with each other).

Types of knowledge involved in configuration design include:

 Problem-specific knowledge:
 Input knowledge:
 Requirements
 Constraints
 Technology
 Case knowledge
 Persistent knowledge (knowledge that remains valid over multiple problem solving sessions):
 Case knowledge
 Domain-specific, method-independent knowledge
 Method-specific domain knowledge
 Search-control knowledge

Pultronics. Pultronics inc. is a Canadian fabless semiconductor and software design house founded in 1994. It develops stand-alone electronic circuits, RFID tags (and readers), sensors and monitoring solutions. In addition it offers design services in several realms, ranging from microelectronics to custom IP solutions.

Early years
Early on, Pultronics delved in the field of optoelectronics. It explored how optoelectronic techniques can be used in the testing of integrated circuits (ICs). Other optoelectronics research focused on optical distribution systems  and on how packaging affects optical transmissions.

Pultronics today
Today (>1998), Pultronics is involved in the RFID industry with its active RFID systems for long-range wireless data communications. Tracking of goods/assets through a cold chain is a typical usage of such systems. Pultronics is also active in the micro-transmitter system design including design of ASICs resulting in miniature sized active tags.

Achievements
Pultronics has contributed to the design flow of integrated circuits. Through the development of TED, an EDA thermal analysis tool of ICs, Pultronics provided an additional layer of verification to integrated circuit design. What makes TED different from other similar tools is that the thermal analysis is based on the physical topology of the IC instead of its schematic entry.

Pultronics has also contributed to the testing of integrated circuits with the development of independent modules that could be placed directly on the IC. Such modules typically provide valuable information on the performance of the IC without resorting to complex measurement setups. Traditional methods of IC testing can require measurement equipment which are costly (>10-100k$) and can also distort the measured information.

Central Rivers TMD. Central Rivers TMD (also known as Barton-under-Needwood CMD) is a railway maintenance depot, located in Barton-under-Needwood,  south-west of Burton on Trent, England. It was built by Bombardier Transportation as the central maintenance facility for the Class 220 and 221 Voyagers then being delivered to Virgin CrossCountry. It came into operation on 8 September 2001. The nearest railway station is Burton on Trent.

This site was chosen due to being close to Virgin Cross Country's Birmingham hub as well as being relatively close to Derby and Crewe. The depot's facilities include inspection and working pits, hoisting facilities, train washing and refueling is designed for a planned turnaround of up to 20 serviced trains per night.

The Virgin CrossCountry franchise finished in November 2007, however Central Rivers continues to maintain the Voyagers for its successor CrossCountry as well as Avanti West Coast.

Lichfield Trent Valley spur 

A single line spur from the West Coast Main Line, near Lichfield Trent Valley, to the old South Staffordshire Line allows units to reach Central Rivers from that line.
