Inderite. Inderite, also known as lesserite, is a mineral that was named after its source, the Inder lake, near the Inder Mountains in Kazakhstan. The samples were described in English by the soviet mineralogist Boldyreva in 1937. It is a rare secondary mineral but common in salt, potassium and borate deposits.

Crystallography 
Inderite is a member of the inderite group, and a dimorph of kurnakovite. It contains boron, hydrogen, magnesium, and oxygen. It can form continuous layers. Deposits include Argentina, China, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, and the US. It contains 8.69% magnesium, 11.59% boron, 5.40% hydrogen and 74.32% oxygen.

Usage 
Inderite is one of the natural borates commonly used in the chemical industry. This hydrated neotriborate is still used in iron metallurgy. It is also used in gemology despite its qualities. Since inderite is very soft, it is hard to cut, but sometimes a cabochon cut is possible. There are many cuttable sized specimens, and although there are only a few mines containing inderite, it is not considered a great rarity. After cutting, inderite's surface can become white and cloudy, hence why it needs to be dried and properly stored after cutting. It is cleaned with water after cutting as it is insoluble in water, but can be dissolved in hydrochloric acid.

La Mède refinery. The La Mède refinery is a biorefinery that previously operated as a traditional fossil fuel refinery owned by TotalEnergies in Châteauneuf-les Martigues  near Marseille, France, and on the Etang de Berre. The plant includes about 250 hectares.

The biorefinery has a capacity of 500,000 tones of biofuels (hydrotreated vegetable oil) a year. The plant conversion, started in 2015, finished in 2019 with EUR 275 million of capital expenditure.  In 2021, the plant announced production of aviation biofuel made from cooking oil.

A 2018 agreement with the French government capped the amount of palm oil production at the facility at 300 000 tonnes, while requiring at least 50 000 tonnes of French-grown rapeseed oil.

Environmental activists have criticized the plant for its reliance on palm oil, which has a track record of global environmental destruction and human rights violations. Local farmers represented by Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles also expressed concerns about palm oil competing with local oil production.

History 

The refinery was built in the early 1930s as one of two refineries (the other in Gonfreville) whose purpose was to refine a new source of Middle Eastern crude oil. The Compagnie Francaise des Petroles held a 23.75% share in the Iraq Petroleum Company, which had struck oil in Kirkuk in 1927 and in 1934 had completed a pipeline to the Mediterranean Sea.

With the Fall of France, Syria and the pipeline terminal at Tripoli were under the control of the Vichy Government, but with Iraq on the side of the Allies, oil deliveries came to a halt. With the Syria–Lebanon campaign in the summer of 1941 the Allies regained control of the entire pipeline system and with the Battle of Marseille at the end of August 1944 gained control of the refinery.

While the refineries on the Atlantic coast were destroyed or severely damaged, the three refineries near Marseille remained intact: La Mede, Etang de Berre and Lavera. The prewar capacity of 900,000 tons per year (18,750bpd) at La Mede was still available in 1945 and had risen to 1,200,000 (25,000bpd) in 1947. France as a whole had a prewar refining capacity of 8,100,000 tons per year (168,750bpd), which fell to 1,800,000tpa (37,500bpd) in 1945 and recovered by 1947 to 6,680,000tpa (140,000bpd).

In 1961 the two plants at Gonfreville (150,000bpd) and Martigues (136,000bpd) were the two largest in France (total 914,715bpd crude oil capacity).

The plant entered operation in 1935 as a crude oil and petrochemical plant. The plant stopped production of petroleum in 2016.

In 1992 the plant had a gas explosion.

Toyota bZ. The Toyota bZ series ("beyond Zero") is a family of battery electric vehicles (BEV) manufactured by Toyota. It was introduced in April 2021 alongside the bZ4X Concept. The bZ series is a part of Toyota's plan to introduce 15 battery electric vehicle models by 2025, seven of which are from the bZ series. Vehicles from the bZ series make use of the e-TNGA platform co-developed with Subaru.

According to Toyota, the "beyond Zero" name is intended to convey the desire to provide customers with value that exceeds mere "zero emissions." The company described the bZ series as a "human-centered" approach aimed for regions such as China, North America, and Europe, where there are growing demand for BEVs.

Its first vehicle, the bZ4X, is produced in Japan and China and has been sold since mid-2022. The second model, called bZ3, was introduced in October 2022 to be sold exclusively in China in 2023. It is co-developed with BYD Auto through the BYD Toyota EV Technology (BTET) joint venture.

Production models 
Patent fillings in 2020 revealed that Toyota had registered nine nameplates under the bZ series, which include bZ1, bZ2, bZ2X, bZ3, bZ3X, bZ4, bZ4X, bZ5, and bZ5X. The numbers refer to the vehicle size or segment, while the 'X' denotes to the vehicle being a crossover SUV.

XPeng P5. The XPeng P5 () is a battery-powered compact executive sedan produced by the Chinese electric car company XPeng. It is the first mass-produced car to be equipped with lidar sensors for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

History 

At Auto Shanghai in April 2021, XPeng presented the third model of its brand, complementing the offer as a cheaper and smaller alternative to the flagship P7. It took the form of a compact 4-door sedan.

In terms of styling, the P5 developed on the styling concept of the larger P7, distinguishing itself by a gently sloping roof line towards the short, slender ending of the rear part of the body. Headlights made in LED technology were connected by a light strip between them, while the charging port was located in the right front fender.

The passenger compartment is kept in a minimalist design, dominated by a vast vertical multimedia system touch screen located at an angle between the edge of the dashboard and the central tunnel, characterised by a 15.6-inch diagonal. The vehicle is equipped with a third-generation Xmart OS 3.0 multimedia system with a voice control function. The P5 is known for its sleeping/cinema mode, front seats can lie flat to support an air bed along with the rear seat bottom cushions. Optional full-width projection screen, rear centre console mini-fridge, 220 V third party appliances.

The P5 is the first mass-produced car in history to be optionally equipped with the advanced LiDAR Technology autonomous driving system. It consists of sensors cooperating with a laser ladar that scans the surroundings of the car at a distance of 150 metres in the range of 150 degrees, including traffic lights, other moving vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists moving nearby. The 32 sensors include two LiDARs, 12 ultrasonic and 5 microwave sensors and 13 high-resolution image processing cameras. With future OTA improvements, the P5 has the hardware capable of L4 Autonomous driving.

Sales of the P5 started in the fourth quarter of 2021, beginning in the Chinese market. It generated a lot of attention during its premiere. Within 53 hours of its debut, XPeng collected 10,000 orders for the P5. In 2022, they planned to start selling the vehicle also in selected Western European markets, starting with Norway.

Drivetrain 
The fully electric drive system of the P5 has a maximum range of approximately  on a single charge. The car is for now only available in front-wheel drive and maybe later as all-wheel drive.

Replay Protected Memory Block. A Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) is provided as a means for a system to store data to the specific memory area in an authenticated and replay protected manner and can only be read and written via successfully authenticated read and write accesses. The data may be overwritten by the host but can never be erased.

Use in computing systems 
Since RPMB is tamper-resistant, it can be used as a storage medium for a variety of data-critical purposes on an embedded system:

 A place to write "permanent" and/or "pre-programmed" data on a system without any programmable ROM storage, or if the data is too large for it.
 Along with encryption and hardware fuses, it can also be used to build a trusted storage solution for a trusted execution environment
 Anti-rollback protection for versioned data (keys, encrypted files, software, etc).
 Storage for a Trusted Application

Some operating systems, such as Linux may provide a generic driver for accessing an RPMB device attached to an eMMC.  However, in other cases the access to RPMB is controlled through a proprietary driver; this may require use of a Trusted Application instead of a normal application to access the data. Some embedded flash storage devices, such as eMMC, eUFS and NVMe, are support this standard.

Logical unit addressing 
The UFS specification allocates a "Well-Known LUN" identifier of 44h for the RPMB device.  This can be represented as:
 UFS LUN: WLUN_ID (80h) | UNIT_NUMBER_ID = C4h
 64-bit SCSI LUN: WLUN_ID (C1h) | UNIT_NUMBER_ID = C1h 44h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h

Memory layout 
An RPMB device supplies the following memory sections:

&ast; This is the minimum defined by the specification, the actual block size depends on the flash vendor's implementation.
