Impact (custom car). Impact is a custom-built 1934 Ford roadster built by Richard Berg. It won the 2001 America's Most Beautiful Roadster award.

History 
Impact was inspired by Ron Whiteside's 1934 3-window. Whiteside began building his '34 in 1986. He showed pictures to Boyd Coddington, asking Coddington to finish it, hoping to have a Ridler Award-winning project. Chip Foose, who worked for Coddington at the time, also saw the pictures, and conceived a sister car, a '34 roadster, for Betty DiVosta, whose husband Buz owned two other Coddington creations.

Then, as a result of the failure of Boyds Wheels, Coddington's rod shop closed. The unfinished roadster was sold at auction to Berg, who completed it as Impact.

Impact was entered in the 2001 Oakland Roadster Show.  It won that year's America's Most Beautiful Roadster award.

Kiwi drive. A Kiwi drive is a holonomic drive system of three omni-directional wheels (such as omni wheels or Mecanum wheels), 120 degrees from each other, that enables movement in any direction using only three motors.  This is in contrast with non-holonomic systems such as traditionally wheeled or tracked vehicles which cannot move sideways without turning first.

This drive system is similar to the Killough platform which achieves omni-directional travel using traditional non-omni-directional wheels in a three-wheel configuration.

It was named for the flightless national bird of New Zealand, the Kiwi.

Motion
When only the front wheel is powered, the chassis will turn and strafe at once. If the back wheels turn the same amount in the same direction, the strafe is cancelled out, so the chassis will only turn. If the back wheels turn half as much in the opposite direction, the turn is cancelled out, so the chassis will only strafe. If the front wheel is not powered, and the back wheels turn the same amount in opposite directions, the chassis will only drive.

Killough platform. A Killough platform is a three-wheel drive system that uses traditional wheels to achieve omni-directional movement without the use of omni-directional wheels (such as omni wheels/Mecanum wheels).  Designed by Stephen Killough, after which the platform is named, with help from Francois Pin, wanted to achieve omni-directional movement without using the complicated six motor arrangement required to achieve a controllable three caster wheel system (one motor to control wheel rotation and one motor to control pivoting of the wheel).   He first looked into solutions by other inventors that used rollers on the rims larger wheels but considered them flawed in some critical way.  This led to the Killough system: 

With Francois Pin, who helped with the computer control and choreography aspects of the design, Killough and Pin readied a public demonstration in 1994.  This led to a partnership with Cybertrax Innovative Technologies in 1996, which was developing a motorized wheelchair.

By combining two the motion of two-wheel the vehicle can move in the direction of the perpendicular wheel, or, by rotating all the wheels in the same direction, the vehicle can rotate in place.  By using the resultant motion of the vector addition of the wheels a Killough platform is able to achieve omni-directional motion.

PWS-102 Rekin. The PWS-102 Rekin (English: Shark) was a progressive development of the PWS-101, intended for cross-country flights. The prototype flew in an international contest in 1939 and the first of a projected production series was flown before the start of World War II.

Design and development

The PWS-102 was the second sailplane built by PWS, based in Biała Podlaska. Like the first it was designed by the experienced Wacław Czerwiński, this time with the assistance of Józef Niespał. Both aircraft were high performance,  span, gull wing, wooden single-seat sailplanes but the PWS-102 was different in detail in most areas, with aerodynamic and structural refinements to wings, cockpit, fuselage and horizontal tail. It was also equipped with camber-changing flaps. Its design was begun in 1937 but the aircraft was not ready for flight until the spring of 1939.

The gull wings of the PWS-102 were high-mounted, with less (5°) inner dihedral than on its predecessor and tapering outwards in both chord and thickness out to fine elliptical tips. They were built around a main and an auxiliary spar, the latter to the rear and carrying ailerons and flaps. The wings were entirely ply-covered but ailerons and flaps were fabric-covered.  These surfaces occupied essentially all the trailing edge of each wing, with a pair of differential ailerons outboard and a camber-changing flap inboard. DFS type airbrakes, larger than those of the PWS-101, were mounted on the main spar at about one-third span.

The plywood semi-monocoque fuselage had an elliptical section and was more slender than that of the PWS-101. The cockpit was ahead of the wings, where the ply structure ended at half-height and the upper part was covered by smoothly curved, multi-part glazing which reached from nose to wing leading edge. The vertical tail was very similar to that of the PWS-101, with a curved fin and broad rudder but the horizontal tail had a new, elliptical plan, with the hinge between  tailplane and split elevators lying on the major axis. Like the wings, fixed tail surfaces were ply-covered and control surfaces fabric-covered. As on the earlier design, the trailing edges of the latter were ahead of the rudder hinge and the elevators were assisted by inboard Flettner tabs.

The PWS-102 had a conventional sprung skid for landing but took off on a two-wheel trolley which was immediately discarded.

Operational history

After its first flight in March 1939 and some small modifications made during an uncompleted development programme, the PWS-102 competed in the ISTUS International Glider Contest held in Lwów in May. It was placed fifth. One production model was completed and flew before the outbreak of World War II, with a second under construction. All three airframes were taken by the U.S.S.R. in late September during the Soviet invasion of northern Poland.

Ocean Infinity. Ocean Infinity is a marine robotics company based in Austin, Texas, United States and Southampton, United Kingdom and was founded in 2017. The company uses robots to obtain information from the ocean and seabed.

History
Ocean Infinity is based in Austin, Texas and Southampton, England, and was founded in July 2017. The company is led by CEO Oliver Plunkett and is a privately held company. Ocean Infinity was created after recognising the effectiveness of using marine robots in scale to acquire and analyse data from the oceans.

Robots
Ocean Infinity operates two robotic fleets; the Armada fleet and the Infinity fleet. The Infinity fleet is made up of fourteen autonomous underwater vehicles that are currently operating in oceans globally, and the Armada fleet will initially comprise fifteen robotic ships that will be operational by the end of 2020. The fleets are equipped with sensors and navigation technology and are capable of operating down to 6,000 meters depth. The company reported in May 2022 that the first of 23 Armada surface vessels had recently been launched in Vietnam.

Projects

Summary
Summary of successful search missions that Ocean Infinity was involved:

Details
Ocean Infinity was involved in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in early 2018, deploying Seabed Constructor between January and May without success. In November of the same year, Seabed Constructor located the wreck of Argentine submarine , which had disappeared a year earlier. At the end of December 2018, Ocean Infinity was contracted by the South Korean government to search for the wreck of the sunken bulk carrier ship , which sank in March 2017 in the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Uruguay. On 17 February 2019, the company announced that it believed it had found the ship's wreck, and soon afterward retrieved the voyage data recorder.

In addition to the high-profile wreck searches, Ocean Infinity has also undertaken data acquisition support for Total E&P, Shell Mauritania, Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Exxon Mobil, NOAA and Petrobras.

In early 2019, the wreck of  was localized by Island Pride, which arrived 30 March and started inspecting the wreck using remotely operated underwater vehicles. In July 2019, the company found the French Navy submarine , 50 years after its disappearance. In 2020, Ocean Infinity also worked with Search INC to locate the battleship .

Ocean Infinity has also provided technical expertise and equipment to locate Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance, which sank 27 October 1915 after having been beset in ice of the Weddell Sea off Antarctica. The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust's project Endurance22 was successful on 5 March 2022.

In December 2024, it was reported that Ocean Infinity would resume the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 under a $70 million 'no find, no fee' agreement with the Malaysian government.

Otis Elevator Company Factory Building. The Otis Elevator Company Factory Building is a historic industrial building located at 1435 W. 15th Street in the Near West Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The Otis Elevator Company had the factory built in 1900. The company, then the nation's largest elevator manufacturer, sought to grow its sales in Chicago, as the city's growth and numerous new skyscrapers made it a profitable market for elevators. The Chicago firm of Adler & Treat designed the factory as a brick building with Colonial Revival elements. The factory served as a regional headquarters until 1914, when Otis restructured and introduced smaller regional offices; while it continued to have a Chicago office, it sold the factory building. The Riley-Schubert-Grossman Company, a wholesaling firm, purchased the building in 1916; while it only occupied the building for a short time, its extensive remodeling gave it its present-day layout.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 26, 2008.
