Buick Velite 7. The Buick Velite 7 () is a subcompact electric crossover that  is sold exclusively in China.  The Velite 7 is similar to the Chevrolet Bolt, using the same BEV2 platform, but is slightly larger.

History

A car resembling the Buick Velite 7 first appeared in a document from 2017 describing GM's future electric vehicle plans. However, the image was quickly replaced with a covered vehicle. In January 2020, the Velite 7 was photographed while being road tested under camouflage. At the time, it was speculated this was an upcoming variant of the Chevrolet Bolt which would be released as the Bolt EUV. It was later confirmed the vehicle was the Velite 7, although the Bolt EUV is a closely related rebadged Velite with some styling differences. Undisguised photographs of the Velite 7 were released that month under a filing with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

GM announced the Velite 7 in June 2020, highlighting the estimated range of  under the NEDC testing protocol. The Velite 7 was launched in July 2020, alongside a new PHEV version of the Buick Velite 6 wagon.

Pont Vieux (Cluses). (Old Bridge) is a bridge at Cluses, a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France. It spans the river Arve.

The span of the arch is .

This bridge was the only crossing on the Arve until the construction of the  ("New Bridge") in 1850. The current bridge was built in 1674 and restored in 1833. A graffito carved in stone mentions the name of the builder, Charles Barbier; the architect was François Guénot, who usually worked for Charles Emmanuel II, Duke of Savoy.

The bridge replaces an earlier structure, built during the Roman occupation, and rebuilt in the Middle Ages.

It has been a registered historic monument since 1975.

CoppeliaSim. CoppeliaSim, formerly known as V-REP, is a robot simulator used in industry, education and research.
It was originally developed within Toshiba R&D and is currently being actively developed and maintained by Coppelia Robotics AG, a small company located in Zurich, Switzerland.

It is built around a distributed control architecture having Python and Lua scripts, or C/C++ plug-ins acting as individual, synchronous controllers. Additional asynchronous controllers can execute in another process, thread or machine via various middleware solutions (ROS, remote API, ZeroMQ) with programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Java and Matlab.

CoppeliaSim uses a kinematics engine for forward and inverse kinematics calculations, and several physics simulation libraries (MuJoCo, Bullet, ODE, Vortex, Newton Game Dynamics) to perform rigid body simulation. Models and scenes are built by assembling various objects (meshes, joints, various sensors, Point clouds, octrees, etc.) into a hierarchical structure. Additional functionality, provided by plug-ins, include: motion planning (via OMPL), synthetic vision and imaging processing (e.g. via OpenCV), collision detection, minimum distance calculation, custom graphical user interfaces and Data visualization (e.g. via plots).

The main fields of application of CoppeliaSim are robotics research and education.

Allison T61. The Allison T61 (known internally as the Allison 550-B1) was a  turboprop engine that was to power the 1959 version of the proposed Lockheed Super Hercules military and civil freight aircraft. The U.S. Air Force (USAF) had helped Allison fund the development of the T61 for four years. Lockheed had received orders from Pan American World Airways and Slick Airways for a total of 18 aircraft, but both orders were contingent on the military ordering the aircraft by September 30, 1959, around the date that the USAF's engine development contract expired. The development contract was extended temporarily to November 30, 1959, but the T61 development effort was canceled by January 1960, after USD$37.5 million had been put into the engine's development. Four T61 engines had run on the test stand at the time of cancellation.

The Allison T61 produced  at takeoff, of which  came from the propeller, with  of residual jet thrust. It had a similar appearance to the Allison T56 but with a split compressor section instead of a single stage. The T61 improved on the power-to-weight ratio of the T56 by 30%. The Air Force had also given Allison's Aeroproducts Operations division a USD $4 million contract to develop a , four-bladed propeller to use on the T61-powered Super Hercules.

Martin Wasp. The Martin-Wasp or Wasp is a luxury American automobile which was built by the Martin-Wasp Corporation in Bennington, Vermont, from 1919 to 1925.

History 
Karl Hamlen Martin designed bespoke coachwork automobile bodies, as well as creating designs for Kenworthy, Barley, Roamer, Owen-Magnetic, Dorris and other automobile manufacturers. From 1916 to 1918 he was an independent body designer for imported chassis of Renault, Rolls-Royce, Mors, Mercedes, and others.  Martin also designed and cast a St. Christopher medal in bronze that was successfully marketed for automobiles between 1917 and 1920.

In 1919 Martin leased workshops at a Pleasant street plant in Bennington, Vermont and incorporated the Martin-Wasp Corporation to build coach-built automobiles.  The cars were custom built in tranches of 6 at a time, and would be considered an "assembled car" using high-end automotive parts from major manufacturers.

The Wasp coachwork was Karl Martin's touring car design that he called a Rickshaw Phaeton.  It was described as having sharply pointed stylized fenders, fully-nickeled German radiator and headlights, large step plates, natural wood bows on top with many curves, bullet lights in the windshield, and black lacquer paint contrasting with its natural aluminum hood. Rudge-Whitworth wire wheels, stylized aluminum stingers on the hood, red leather interior with in-laid wood dash with a built-in St. Christopher's medal, completed the description.

The first Wasp was done just in time for National Automobile Week in New York City and was exhibited at the Commodore Hotel in January, 1920. The brochure offered was titled Automobiles Wasp. The display car was purchased by Douglas Fairbanks Sr.

The Wasp had a 4-cylinder Wisconsin engine on a 136-inch wheelbase. The price with coachwork was $5,500, . In 1922 Martin announced his next series which would be a six-cylinder Continental engine custom car, with a 144-inch wheelbase priced at $10,000, ().

The company built 17 Wasps between 1919 and 1925, 14 four-cylinder and 3 six-cylinder on the longer chassis.  In 1947 an additional car was assembled from a factory 1921 4-cylinder chassis using Karl Martin's coachwork.  Martin-Wasp Corporation is considered to be Vermont's only early serial automobile manufacturer.

Three Wasps survive, one of which is on display at the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont.
