UTM-02. UTM-02 is a South Korean maglev train developed for the continuous research of magnetic levitation trains. The vehicle development was undertaken by the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials. It was used on the National Science Museum Maglev line.

History 
In 1989, South Korea began developing a maglev train at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials as a national research and development project. Hyundai Rotem, a company participating in the development project, succeeded in developing a 30 km/h vehicle for the Expo '93 exhibition in Daejeon.

Afterwards, 43.5 billion won was invested in research and development to develop the pre-commercialization prototype UTM-01 in 1998 and UTM-02 in 2006. By developing UTM-02, the country secured the core technology for maglev trains.

UTM-02 were managed by Hyundai Rotem until 2011, but after the contract expired, the National Science Museum took over management of the vehicles.

Technology 
It was manufactured by Hyundai Rotem based on technology from the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials.

It is the first maglev train to start commercial operation in South Korea. Like the Shinbundang Line and K-AGT, the driver's cabin is connected to the passenger compartment, allowing a full view. The levitation method is a superconducting suction type suitable for low-speed operation, and the average speed is 30 km/h.

Black Sesame Technologies. Black Sesame Technologies (BST; ) is a  Chinese technology company headquartered in Wuhan. The company develops artificial intelligence (AI) chips used in self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Background 

In 2016, BST was founded by Shan Jizhang and Liu Weihong. Shan had spent almost two decades working for OmniVision Technologies while Liu worked in the automotive industry for companies such as General Motors and Bosch.

BST backers have included Tencent, Xiaomi, Geely, NIO, SK Group and Northern Light Venture Capital.

In 2020, BST started generating revenue where it reported 165.4 million yuan in revenue for the year.

At the end of March 2023, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) introduced the Chapter 18C rule which allowed early stage specialist technology companies with little to no revenue to list. In July 2023, BST used this rule to apply for a listing. According to its prospectus, BST had a market share of 2.2% which made it a small player compared to lager peers such as Mobileye, Nvidia, Texas Instruments and Horizon Robotics. BST did not have promising financials with a net loss in 2023 of 4.86 billion yuan which was 76% higher than the previous year. However it was considered a strategic player in China's plans for a domestic chip industry. The listing came at a time where the Biden administration was proposing rules that would bar Chinese software in high level autonomous cars in the U.S.

On 8 August 2024, BST held its initial public offering (IPO) becoming a listed company on the HKSE. The pricing had been set at the lowest end and it was 2.5 times oversubscribed by retail investors and 1.1 times by global funds. The trading debut was dismal with shares opening at HK$18.80, down 33% from the IPO price of HK$28 and ended the day at HK$20.45. The IPO raised HK$950 million. BST was the second company in the exchange's history to use the Chapter 18C rule to list.

Business operations 

Black Sesame offers products enabling autonomous driving, such as SoCs and algorithm-based solutions. According to Frost & Sullivan, in 2023 it was the world's third-largest provider for automotive-grade high computing power SoCs.

BST fully relies on TSMC for its production of its SoCs and TSMC has stated it currently supplies 7nm chips via its Taiwan factory. BST has stated while being a client to TSMC is a selling point, having full dependence on it is a key risk.

Customers include Baidu, Geely, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Bosch.

Ezugwu MRAP. The Ezugwu MRAP is a Nigerian-made mine resistance and ambush protected vehicle (MRAP), designed by the Nigerian Defence Industry of Nigeria (DICON) and the Command Engineering Depot (CED).

Named after Major General Victor Ezugwu, the Ezugwu MRAP is designed to replace obsolete combat vehicles in the Nigerian Army's inventory.

Design and features

The Ezugwu MRAP is specifically engineered to withstand improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and mine blasts up to 12 kg under the vehicle.

First unveiled in September 2019, earlier versions feature a double enclosed turret that can traverse 360 degrees, allowing for versatile weapon deployment, including a 12.7 mm machine gun.

The Ezugwu MRAP has undergone several iterations to reflect a more modern and practical MRAP design. The new design was unveiled at a Science and Technology EXPO in 2020 organized by the Federal Ministry of science and technology in Abuja.

Deployment

The Nigerian Army, in collaboration with the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) and the Command Engineering Depot (CED), has ordered a total of 80 Ezugwu MRAP vehicles to support ongoing counterterrorism operations.

The first batch of 28 Ezugwus was ordered in November 2019, and a follow up purchase of 52 units was made by the Nigerian Army on January 2021.

This initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign-made equipment and enhance the indigenous defense industrial complex.

The deployment of the Ezugwu MRAP marks a milestone in Nigeria's efforts to modernize its military forces and improve its operational effectiveness in the fight against insurgent groups.

With its robust design and advanced features, the Ezugwu MRAP is poised to play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation's security.
