Transparent Prototype. The Transparent Prototype is a project in the automotive industry to track and trace test vehicles and prototype parts using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.

Objectives of the project 

The objective of the project "Transparent Prototype" is the tracking & tracing of test vehicles and prototype parts via radio frequency identification (RFID). During the development phase, prototype vehicles are subject to continuous change and reassembly. Currently, these changes are still documented by using barcodes or data matrix codes. The "Transparent Prototype" aims to substitute these manual procedures with RFID. This is done with so called RFID gates (see figure). Apart from RFID the project "Transparent Prototype" also addresses enhanced electronical data interchange (EDI) among automotive manufacturers. Due to the use of new technologies and the digitalization of the
supply chain, the "Transparent Prototype" project is one of the showcases of the Industry 4.0 initiative.

Methodological approach 

In 2012 the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) established the cross-company working group "Transparent Prototype". The working group developed the industry recommendation VDA 5509, which describes the process and technical solutions for tracking & tracing test vehicles and prototype parts with RFID. Both have also been described in many practice-orientated and scientific publications.

Prevalence in the automotive industry 

The RFID-based tracking & tracing of test vehicles and prototype parts with RFID has been implemented in practice extensively since 2013/2014. Known users are the Volkswagen, Porsche, and Audi brands of Volkswagen Group. In 2018 the technical development of the Volkswagen brand is supplied by approximately 400 suppliers with RFID labeled components, the whole VW group receives RFID components from more than 500 suppliers. For this reason, the project currently ranks among the most significant RFID initiatives within the automotive industry  and is therefore a driver for cross-company RFID standardization in the context of Industry 4.0.

FAdeA IA-100 Malvina. The FAdeA IA-100 Malvina is an Argentine trainer aircraft developed by the Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) from December 2014. It was first flown in 2016.

Design and development
The IA-100 was developed as a result of a project to demonstrate FAdeA's current design and production capabilities, as a basis for a future indigenous training aircraft. The design was largely based on the German Grob G120 monoplane. The outcome was a technology demonstrator that incorporated processes and materials common in many industries but still new to FAdeA, such as composite materials.

In August 2020, the Argentinian Ministry of Defence named the aircraft "Malvina", after Argentina's name for the Falkland Islands.

Common Missile. Common Missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile project, developed to satisfy U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force operational system requirements for both SLBM and silo-launched ICBM, defined in the 1978 commonality study.

Description
The Common Missile was designed as a four-stage solid propellant, stellar-inertial guided intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering up to six Mark 21 reentry vehicles to independent targets. It is propelled from a canister by a gas generator prior to first stage ignition. The post boost vehicle consists of a structure to house the guidance and solid propulsion systems and a platform to mount the reentry vehicles. The post boost vehicle provides the reentry vehicle spacing and deployment maneuvers. The basic dimensions, length, and diameter, were derived from submarine launcher volumetric constraints. The booster stages were sized to provide for Navy guidance access requirements at the II-III interstage and for at-sea maintenance access. The missile was designed to fill the current Trident submarine tube.

Jack Irving. John Samuel Irving (1880–1953), MIAE, was a British automobile engineer best known for designing the Irving-Napier land speed record breaking car Golden Arrow.

Apprenticeship
Born in Manchester in 1880 he joined the Daimler Company in 1903 after serving an apprenticeship in toolmaking and general engineering. He was awarded the London City and Guilds silver medal for motorcar engineering in 1908. He was a lecturer at both Coventry and Warwickshire Technical Institutes. Irving remained with Daimler until 1910.

Balloons, RAE and RFC
From Daimler he joined the Balloon Factory at South Farnborough later known as the Royal Aircraft Establishment with Colonel Mervyn O'Gorman and was made chief of their engine research and development. He was closely involved with experiments in and the development of airship design. From the outbreak of war Irving served with the Royal Flying Corps during the first World War and later chose to be addressed by his rank of captain, Captain Jack Irving.

Automotive industry

Sunbeam airships and motor racing
After the war Irving joined Sunbeam as Chief Experimental Engineer developing power plants for the airships R33, R34, R36 and R38.  He later became Engineer to Sunbeam. He also took responsibility for Sunbeam's car and motor-boat racing. Particular successes were winning the French Grand prix in 1923 and the many Talbot Darracq successes and also the twin-engined 1000 horsepower Sunbeam land speed record-breaker of 1927 under the patronage of Louis Coatalen.

Humfrey-Sandberg and the Irving-Napier Golden Arrow

From Sunbeam Irving took an appointment with Humfrey-Sandberg Co developing their freewheel and easy gear change device. Humfrey-Sandberg granted him permission to use part of his time designing and constructing Golden Arrow for ex-Sunbeam driver Henry Segrave. A measure of Irving's success was that as well as setting new land speed records Segrave reported the Golden Arrow was very docile compared with other cars of its kind. After the car's first and only test run Segrave drove the car up some planks to get it off the beach then drove it back through the main street of Daytona to its garage. Contemporary reports refer to the car as the Irving-Napier Golden Arrow.

Humber
Captain Irving was appointed technical director of the combined Humber and Hillman motor manufacturers in the late 1920s. His responsibilities included the design of Hillman's new Minx in which he was assisted by A H Wilde recruited from the Standard Motor Company.

Bendix
He joined Bendix Limited in 1931.

A member of the Institution of Automobile Engineers since 1908 he was a member of their council from 1931 until his death and served as the institute's president in 1936–1937.

Captain J S Irving died at Acocks Green, Birmingham 28 March 1953. He married in 1904; a son and daughter survived him.

Foundry Bridge. The Foundry Bridge is a historic Warren pony truss bridge, carrying Foundry Road across the First Branch White River in Tunbridge, Vermont.  Built in 1889, it is one of the state's oldest wrought iron bridges, and the only surviving example in the state of work by the Vermont Construction Company, its only local manufacturer of such bridges.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Description and history
The Foundry Bridge is located in the village of North Tunbridge, providing access across the First Branch White River to rural eastern parts of the town via Foundry Road.  The bridge is a single-span Warren pony truss, set on abutments of dry laid stone.  The bridge is trapezoidal in profile, its trusses  in length.  The roadway width is , with a total structure width of .  Distinctive features of the trusses indicating its age include riveted joints (an advance over older pin connections) and posts between the truss panels.  The bridge deck consists of timber stringers on a wrought iron frame, supporting a wooden bridge deck.  The web of truss components reflects a means of fabrication that was obsolete at the time, but still in use by the builder, who had not yet adopted recent advances in steel rolling technology.

The bridge was built in 1889, its trusses fabricated by the Vermont Construction Company of St. Albans, which was the only Vermont business of the period to build wrought iron trusses.  The bridge, built for the town at a cost of $876, provided access from the village of North Tunbridge to two of its major industries, Smith's Foundry (for which the road is named) and a gristmill.  The Vermont Construction Company was in business from 1885 to 1901, when it was acquired by the American Bridge Company.

Canadian Northern Corridor. The Canadian Northern Corridor (CNC) is a concept for a multi-modal (road, rail, pipeline, electrical transmission and communication) transportation corridor through Canada's North and Near-North.

The CNC would be a multi-use corridor infrastructure megaproject spanning Canada's east-west mid-latitude with several northern spurs, approximately 7,000 to 10,000 km long and costing roughly $100–150 billion. The concept is being studied jointly by academics at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy and CIRANO.

On June 21, 2017, The Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce released a report entitled NATIONAL CORRIDOR ENHANCING AND FACILITATING COMMERCE AND INTERNAL TRADE that was a major endorsement of the NC concept.  In a press release issued simultaneously, the Committee called the NC concept a visionary project that could unlock extraordinary economic potential.

Research
In May 2016, the University of Calgary School of Public policy and CIRANO published a paper examining the potential for a Transportation Corridor (the Canadian Northern Corridor™) which would encompass an established right of way for transportation infrastructure based on local consultation and the negotiation of appropriate land usage rights. The initial paper also outlined the range of issues that required detailed study to determine the Corridor's viability. Additional scholarly work on the subject, coordinated by the University of Calgary, School of Public Policy, is intended to follow from this initial paper. They believe that by 2025 they can present this paper to the government of Canada.

Corridor
While no specific geographic path for the Canadian Northern Corridor has been formalized, the Corridor concept has been described as follows:
"In initial concept, the Northern Corridor would be approximately 7000 km in length. It would largely follow the boreal forest in the northern part of the west, with a spur along the Mackenzie Valley, and then southeast from the Churchill area to northern Ontario and the "Ring of Fire" area; the corridor would then traverse northern Quebec to Labrador, with augmented ports. The right-of-way would have room for roads, rail lines, pipelines and transmission lines, and would interconnect with the existing (southern- focused) transportation network."

Relation to previous studies
The concept is similar in scope, yet distinct from, the "Mid-Canada Corridor" proposed and studied by the Mid-Canada Development Foundation as chaired by Richard Rohmer.

Trademark
The Canadian Northern Corridor trademark application at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office was filed on April 29, 2019. On September 11, 2019 the Registrar of Trademarks gave public notice under subparagraph 9(1)(n)(ii) of the Trademarks Act of this prohibited mark.
