Isotta Fraschini Astro 7. The Astro 7 was a seven-cylinder radial aircraft engine built by Isotta Fraschini in the 1930s.

Design and development
Fabrica Automobili Isotta Fraschini (Isotta Fraschini) was founded in 1898 to manufacture cars and internal combustion engines. Isotta Fraschini engines powered many Italian airships and military aircraft during World War I, becoming one of the largest engine producers in Italy. At the outbreak of World War II Isotta Fraschini had a large portfolio of engines but suffered from a lack of large orders, with a few exceptions. The Astro 7 C seven-cylinder radial engine failed to attract orders in any quantity and failed to give the company significant return on the development costs.

The Astro 7 C was an unremarkable air-cooled radial engine with supercharger, which did allow reasonable power to be maintained at altitudes up to , dependent on supercharger drive ratio. With few applications the Astro 7 C family was not produced in large quantities.

Isotta Fraschini Asso 200. The Isotta Fraschini Asso 200 was a water-cooled inline engine developed by Isotta Fraschini in the late 1920s.

Design and development
Fabrica Automobili Isotta Fraschini (Isotta Fraschini) was founded in 1898 to manufacture cars and internal combustion engines. Isotta Fraschini engines powered many Italian airships and military aircraft during WWI, becoming one of the largest engine producers in Italy. At the outbreak of WWII Isotta Fraschini had a large portfolio of engines but suffered from a lack of large orders, with a few exceptions.

The Asso 200 had cylinders made of carbon steel separated from each other, joined by a single aluminum head. The cylinders with the related cylinder heads, the upper crankcase, the crankshaft and the pistons were identical to the other engines in the series.

The Judson. The Judson is a historic apartment building at 1243-1249 Judson Avenue in Evanston, Illinois, US. Built in 1911, the three-story brick building has eighteen units. Architect Francis M. Barton designed the building in a style inspired by the Prairie School. The building's design features segmental arched entrances, egg-and-dart decoration, patterned brickwork with horizontal themes, and overhanging bracketed eaves. The design was initially controversial for leaving no space between the building and the sidewalk, breaking from the Prairie School principle of including green space in front of a recessed building to blend in with nearby single-family homes. Prominent architect and Evanston resident Thomas Tallmadge described the building as "equally oblivious to the rights of neighbors and to the principles of good design" in a 1919 issue of the journal The American Architecture.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1984.

Costruzioni Motori Diesel S.p.A.. The  () or more simply CMD is an Italian company that designs, develops, builds and markets marine engines, with its brand FNM Marine.

History
The Company was founded in 1971, under the name Fratelli Negri Macchine Diesel Sud (FNM), on the initiative of the Negri brothers. Initially, the activity focused on the revision of earthmoving machines, then expanding in the mid-70s, in the installation of diesel engines on used cars. Furthermore, towards the end of the decade, collaboration with FIAT began, which still represents an important slice of the company's business. In 2013, indeed, the company signed an agreement to produce engine heads for Maserati and Jeep.

In 1980, the GD 178 AT 1.3 supercharged diesel engine, entirely designed and built by FNM, was presented at the Turin International Motor Show.

In 1991, CMD Costruzioni Motori Diesel was set up, which would acquire the entire FNM business branch and related know-how. In the 1990s, CMD inaugurated the Atella 1 plant, expanding its business producing and selling marine diesel engines. In 1996, FNM 1.4-liter diesel engines began to be installed in passenger cars built by India's Premier Automobiles Limited, in two Fiat-derived models called the Premier 137D and 1.38D.

In the 2000s the company opened two new production plants, Atella 2 in 2004 and Morra De Sanctis in 2005. In 2017 67% of the share capital was held by the Chinese Loncin Holdings group, while the remaining 33% was in Italian hands. The official dealer is AS Labruna which is based in Monopoli, Apulia.

Engines
The company builds various types of marine inboard motor including hybrids.

Awards
 Premio ADI (Association for Industrial Design) 2019, at the 59° Salone Nautico di Genova thanks to the engine Blue Hybrid System.

Jervois Bridge. The Jervois Bridge is a bridge in Greater Adelaide, Australia that crosses the Port River.

Construction of the original  Jervois Bridge from Port Adelaide to Ethelton commenced in July 1875, using components manufactured in England by Westwood, Baillie. It was the first swing bridge in Australia, with mechanical equipment provided by William Armstrong & Co of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Built to carry pedestrian, rail and road traffic, it was officially opened on 7 February 1878 by the Governor of South Australia, William Jervois, after whom it was named.

By 1924, it had ceased to be used by rail traffic, after the line had been diverted. Operation of the swing bridge passed from the South Australian Railways to the Harbours Board in December 1924. In 1937, the control tower and its support gantry were elevated to allow use by double-decker AEC 661T trolleybuses.

The original bridge closed in August 1966 to make way for a new bridge. It was later demolished with the control tower and supporting gantry moved to Nile Street, where it remained as an entrance to the Fishermen's Wharf Market car park until 2016, when the carpark was partially redeveloped for a new office building. The control tower and supporting gantry were removed to the Council depot for restoration, with the intention of finally moving it to the Hart's Mill site, close to its original location. The remnants of the original bridge received a Historic Engineering Marker from Engineers Australia as part of its Engineering Heritage Recognition Program.

The new four-lane bridge was constructed on an alignment a short distance upstream, opening on 28 July 1969.

Upstream (south) of the Jervois Bridge lies the Jervois Basin Ships' Graveyard, and beyond that the railway bridge carrying the Outer Harbor railway line.

FiRa Consortium. The FiRa Consortium (FiRa"fine ranging") is a non-profit organization that promotes the use of Ultra-wideband technology for use cases such as access control, location-based services, and device-to-device services. UWB offers fine ranging and secure capabilities and operates in the available  spectrum. Founded on August 1, 2019, by ASSA ABLOY, Bosch, HID Global, NXP Semiconductors, and Samsung, the consortium aims to certify UWB products for conformity to defined standards of interoperability. In June 2020, the FiRa Consortium and the UWB Alliance announced their formal liaison to "accelerate the development and adoption of UWB technology".

Association with IEEE 802.15.4 
The FiRa Consortium builds on to the IEEE 802.15.4/4z and future iterations and enhancements High Rate PHY (HRP) with an interoperable HRP standard that includes performance requirements, test methods and procedures, and a certification program based on the IEEE’s profiled features. An additional application layer is designed to discover UWB devices and services and configure them in an interoperable manner . Furthermore, FiRa plans to develop service-specific protocols for multiple verticals that leverage access control, location-based services, and device-to-device services.

Members 
FiRa’s key stakeholders include chip manufacturers, device manufacturers, system integrators, service providers, technology provider, test tool developers, and test labs. Following the initial sponsor members, the ASSA ABLOY Group (HID Global), NXP Semiconductors, Samsung Electronics, and Bosch, the FiRa Consortium counts more than 100 members in seven different membership categories.

FiRa Certification 
In May 2020, the FiRa Consortium has released their first technical requirement specifications for the UWB PHY and MAC layers. Both specifications are based on the High Rate Pulse (HRP) portion of the IEEE 802.15.4-2015 technical specification and 802.15.4z/D8 draft amendment for fine-ranging UWB technology. The UWB MAC Technical Requirements defines elements such as how ranging protocol works, types of ranging that are supported, the parameters and format of the messages that are exchanged, and how ranging messages are encrypted. Similarly, the PHY Technical Requirements Specification document leverages select portions of the IEEE specification to facilitate interoperability between FiRa Consortium Certified UWB-enabled products. In October 2021, the FiRa Consortium launched the initial phase of its certification program which is centered around MAC/PHY conformance testing. 

The FiRa Certified™ mark helps to identify interoperable UWB devices. It can only be used once a device has successfully completed the FiRa Device Certification Process performed by an independent Authorized Test Laboratory (ATLs).
