Mcity. Mcity is a  mock city and proving ground built for the testing of wirelessly connected and driverless cars located on the University of Michigan North Campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The project, which officially opened on July 20, 2015, is built on land purchased by the university from a former Pfizer facility. It cost US$10 million and is collaboratively managed by Mcity (formerly the Mobility Transformation Center - MTC). In November 2015, Ford Motor Company announced that it is the first car company to use the new facility.

Features
Mcity is the world's first controlled environment specifically designed to test the potential of connected and automated vehicle technologies that are expected to lead the way to mass-market driverless cars. Students and faculty in the University of Michigan College of Engineering utilize Mcity to work on projects and to collaborate with automakers and suppliers who will test vehicle technology at the course.

The site includes 4.25 lane miles of roadway that include several familiar features of urban driving, including signalized intersections, a railroad crossing, a roundabout, a traffic circle, brick and gravel roads, and parking spaces. Building facades can be moved and fake pedestrians can be altered for different kinds of tests. There are two simulated highway entrance ramps with ramp metering. Two features - a metal bridge and a tunnel - are a special challenge for wireless signals and radar sensors to get through.

Aims
The research aims to test and improve connected and autonomous cars, decrease the chance of collisions, and improve TrafficCom c flow in real life. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle, or V2V) or with pieces of the infrastructure, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure, or V2I). These communications could one day predict accidents and stop cars before a mishap.

Nuklonas. Nuklonas (PO Box M-5621) is a former military manufacturer of integrated circuits in Šiauliai, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Soviet times 
The factory was established in 1966. According to Algirdas Brazauskas, it was established in Šiauliai because , Minister of Electronic Industry, was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union in the city. The factory occupied a territory of ; its buildings had  of floor space. At its peak it employed some 4,200 workers. The factory produced modern integrated circuits for the most important civilian and military instruments. When in 1984, United States formed the Strategic Defense Initiative to re-ignite an arms race with the Soviet Union, Soviet Ministry of Electronic Industry suggested that the factory be expanded by . Lithuanian communists, including Petras Griškevičius and Algirdas Brazauskas, refused. The episode is cited as an example of local soviet officials defending Lithuanian interest against orders from Moscow. From 1986 on, the factory produced BK 0010 personal computers to be used in high schools.

Post-independence
In 1990–92, alongside its main production, the factory produced monocrystalline silicon solar cells. In 1994, the factory was declared bankrupt. In 1995, the factory resumed production, controlled by AB Nuklonas (registered on November 22, 1994). During the first months company had 250 employees and reached the income of . In 1996, the company was obliged to transfer its retreat center worth  to the city of Šiauliai. In October 1997, the creditors of AB Nuklonas decided to liquidate the company.

In 1989, the enterprise commissioned artist  to produce a tapestry for its newly constructed culture house. The work Saulėtas miškas (Sunny Forest) measures  and is recognized by the Lithuanian Records Book as the largest in Lithuania. Due to the Nuklonas bankruptcy, the tapestry was sold back to Simutis. In 1993, the unfinished culture house was transferred to the Catholic Church in hopes that a congregation could re-purpose the building as a church. The church operated there until 2006, when the property was sold to VP Group, which built a shopping mall in its place.

After the liquidation of AB Nuklonas, integrated circuits manufacturing in Šiauliai ceased to exist. The buildings of the factory were split among various companies. Since 1998, the AB Nuklonas administration building has housed the Šiauliai University's Faculty of Social Sciences. The university wanted to establish Šiauliai University Science and Technology Park, but the project failed due to debts and mismanagement.

Watlow. Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. is a family-owned company that designs and manufactures industrial electric heaters, sensors, and controllers. Founded in 1922, it has nine factories and three technology centers in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Asia, and has sales offices in 16 countries. Watlow serves numerous industries, including semiconductor processing, environmental chambers, energy process, diesel emissions, along with medical and foodservice equipment.

History
In 1922, Louis Desloge Sr. of the Desloge family founded Watlow in a rented corner space on the second floor of a machine shop in St. Louis, Missouri, and began manufacturing electric heating elements for the shoe industry. The name Watlow refers to the “low-watt” heaters that replaced steam heat.

During the 1930s and 1940s, Watlow began selling products outside the United States. Louis' sons Louis Jr. and George Desloge joined the company. A few years later, George invented the FIREROD cartridge heater. The first swaged cartridge heater, the patented device greatly increased heat transfer efficiency. Together, the Desloges expanded Watlow’s headquarters and St. Louis manufacturing facility to 185,000 square feet. During the mid-1970s, the company introduced the industry's first thermocouple product. Shortly after this time, Watlow grew exponentially both globally and domestically, adding facilities in Kronau, Germany, and Columbia, Missouri; and acquiring the Claud S. Gordon Company of Richmond, Illinois, the nation’s leading manufacturer of temperature measurement devices. In 1997, Watlow celebrated its 75th anniversary in the thermal products industry.

In 2000, Watlow Batavia Inc., then a subsidiary of Watlow, settled a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over the company's English-only policy. The company had fired eight Spanish-speaking workers. The EEOC alleged that the firings amounted to unlawful discrimination based on national origin, and that Watlow Batavia Inc.'s workplace lacked the safety-related conditions that make an English-only policy permissible. Watlow Batavia Inc. paid $192,500, the largest settlement in the four years since the EEOC had started keeping track. Officials denied any company wrongdoing and said they were settling the suit only to avoid litigation. In 2010, the company sold Watlow Batavia to LV2 Equity Partners of Midland, Michigan.

In 2014, the company said it would turn its St. Louis facility into an "advanced technology center" by adding 30,000 square feet of new construction and renovating 56,000 square feet of the existing facility.
In 2015, Watlow launched their new F4T with INTUITION, a touch-screen controller that combines the functions of several devices into one process control.

In 2021, a majority stake of Watlow was acquired by private investment firm Tinicum LP. The Desloge family still has a minority share of the company.

In 2022, Watlow acquired Eurotherm from Schneider Electric, expanding the company’s presence in Europe and product offering in sophisticated thermal controls.
