IAME Rastrojero Conosur. The Rastrojero Conosur is a passenger car that was based on the utilitarian, second-generation Rastrojero Diesel. It is a 4-door sedan especially designed for use in taxi fleets. This car was built by the state enterprise State Mechanical Industries, of Argentina, from 1974 until 1979, when they ended the operations of this factory.

The car was aesthetically similar to a Rastrojero Diesel double cab, but instead of a cargo box, the vehicle consists of a trunk designed with a small slope. This left aside the straight line of the box of the original model.

As far as its mechanics are concerned, the Rastrojero Conosur was the same as the pickup. A 4.88 Indenor XD engine  that delivers an output of 60 hp, powered by diesel oil through an indirect injection system Bosch EP / VA, all coupled to a 4-speed Borgward gearbox.

Its production, along with all Rastrojero vehicles, ended on May 22, 1979. The Rastrojero Conosur was mainly designed for use as a taxi. However, some Rastrojero Conosurs tend to be restored not as taxis, but as private vehicles.

Dortmund–Hamm railway. The Dortmund–Hamm Railway is an important and historically significant railway in Germany.  It is a major axis for long distance passenger and freight trains between the Ruhr and the north and east of Germany. It is the part of the trunk line built by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company (German, old spelling: Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, CME)  from Köln Deutz to Minden. It was opened in 1847 and has been modernized and developed several times since then.

History 
On 18 December 1843, the Prussian government granted a concession to the CME for the line, which began at what was then the CME station in  Deutz (now a suburb of Cologne) with the construction of the first section to Düsseldorf, which was opened on 20 December 1845. Only a few weeks later, on 9 February 1846, the second section was completed to a temporary terminus at the site of present-day Duisburg Hauptbahnhof called the Cologne-Minden railway station, the first of three train stations built at the same place.  The route of the next section to Oberhausen, Altenessen, Gelsenkirchen, Wanne, Herne and Dortmund to Hamm was chosen over a route close to the coal mines that were then located on the north bank of the Ruhr because it was cheaper to build as it largely avoided hills. Nevertheless, it still took well over a year until 15 May 1847 for this section to be completed and put into operation. On 15 October 1847 the last section was opened to Minden, thus completing the entire 263 kilometre long, single track railway. On the same day the Royal Hanoverian State Railways opened its Hanover-Minden Railway, completing a connection to Berlin and northeastern Germany.

Development 
The railway line between Dortmund and Hamm has been continually modernized since its opening reflecting its growing importance as an east-west link. It is now at least double track and was electrified in the late 1950s over its entire length. In 1986, a 20.1 kilometre long section between Nordbögge (near Hamm) and Dortmund was cleared for scheduled operations at 200 km/h.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, trains have been permitted to operate in this section over its remaining level crossings at more than 160 km. Meanwhile, some of the crossings have been replaced by over or underpasses. Between the 120.4 and 143.4 km marks, the German train protection system, Linienzugbeeinflussung has been installed.

Services 
There are hourly Intercity-Express train services on ICE line 10 from Cologne via Duisburg, Essen, Hannover to Berlin and other InterCity or ICE trains run on the line.

Regional-Express trains run at hourly intervals on four lines: RE 1: NRW-Express (Hamm–Aachen, half starting or finishing in Paderborn), RE 3: Rhein-Emscher-Express (Hamm–Düsseldorf), and RE 6: Rhein-Weser-Express (Minden–Hamm–Düsseldorf) and RE 11: Rhein-Hellweg-Express (Hamm–Mönchengladbach). RE 6 trains only stop at Kamen and RE 11 trains only stop at Kamen and Kamen-Methler between Hamm and Dortmund.

Independent Natural Resources, Inc. Independent Natural Resources, Inc. or INRI is an American IP holding company based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. It formed Renew Blue in Dallas as a wholly owned subsidiary charged with licensing the SEADOG pump.

The SEADOG Pump is an ocean-wave energy technology patented by Independent Natural Resources Inc. (INRI) and invented by Kenneth W. Welch, Jr. The pump rises and falls with ocean swells, effectively capturing the energy in the ocean waves, to pump seawater to a land-based elevated holding tank. Once in the tank, the potential energy of the water can be used to drive hydroelectric generators, to generate electricity or desalinate water.

The technology was tested in the Gulf of Mexico with results validated by Texas A&M University at Galveston. The SEADOG Pump's manufacturer estimates that "a square-mile field of pumps could generate 50 to 1,500 megawatts of electricity – depending on the size and frequency of waves."

The company's technology has been shown in energy conferences, including the Gulf Coast Innovation Conference & Showcase and the Energy and Clean Technology Venture Forum. It has had features in the Star Tribune, the Houston Business Journal, the Houston Chronicle and Popular Mechanics.

INRI ceased operations in 2010 and gone through bankruptcy and liquidation.

Digital materialization. Digital materialization (DM)  

can loosely be defined as two-way direct communication or conversion between matter and information that enables people to exactly describe, monitor, manipulate and create any arbitrary real object. DM is a general paradigm alongside a specified framework that is suitable for computer processing and includes: holistic, coherent, volumetric modeling systems; symbolic languages that are able to handle infinite degrees of freedom and detail in a compact format; and the direct interaction and/or fabrication of any object at any spatial resolution without the need for “lossy” or intermediate formats.

DM systems possess the following attributes:

 realistic - correct spatial mapping of matter to information
 exact - exact language and/or methods for input from and output to matter
 infinite - ability to operate at any scale and define infinite detail
 symbolic - accessible to individuals for design, creation and modification

Such an approach can not only be applied to tangible objects but can include the conversion of things such as light and sound to/from information and matter. Systems to digitally materialize light and sound already largely exist now (e.g. photo editing, audio mixing, etc.) and have been quite effective - but the representation, control and creation of tangible matter is poorly support by computational and digital systems.

Commonplace computer-aided design and manufacturing systems currently represent real objects as "2.5 dimensional" shells. In contrast, DM proposes a deeper understanding and sophisticated manipulation of matter by directly using rigorous mathematics as complete volumetric descriptions of real objects. By utilizing technologies such as Function representation (FRep) it becomes possible to compactly describe and understand the surface and internal structures or properties of an object at an infinite resolution. Thus models can accurately represent matter across all scales making it possible to capture the complexity and quality of natural and real objects and ideally suited for digital fabrication and other kinds of real world interactions. DM surpasses the previous limitations of static disassociated languages and simple human-made objects, to propose systems that are heterogeneous, interacting directly and more naturally with the complex world.

Digital and computer-based languages and processes, unlike the analogue counterparts, can computationally and spatially describe and control matter in an exact, constructive and accessible manner. However, this requires approaches that can handle the complexity of natural objects and materials.

Julian Cole. Julian David Cole (April 2, 1925 – April 17, 1999) was an American mathematician. He is known for his groundbreaking work in mathematical applications to aerodynamics and transonic flow, and in non-linear equations more generally. He graduated 36 PhD students and won many of the most significant scientific honors over his career, including simultaneous election to the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering in 1976.

Biography
Cole earned an undergraduate degree in engineering from Cornell, after which he entered Caltech as a graduate student. He worked with Hans Liepmann and Paco Lagerstrom, the latter his advisor, submitting a dissertation on transonic flow in 1949. Lagerstrom and Cole continued their work, having formed a small research group at GALCIT to better understand the mathematics of fluid flow. These two, along with Leon Trilling found that flows having weak shocks could be described by Burgers' equation, for which Cole later found a clever transformation to solve it. Cole continued to delve deeper into this topic for the next decade.

Cole took sabbatical in 1963–1964 at Harvard, where he wrote a book on this body of work: Perturbation Methods in Applied Mathematics.

Cole is the namesake of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics's Julian Cole Lectureship.
