Mega Track. The Mega Track is a supercar manufactured by the French automobile manufacturer Aixam between 1992 and 2000. Only five or six examples were built during this time.

Overview 
The concept of the Mega Track was conceived by Georges Blain, the boss of Aixam. At that time, the company specialized in cars that could be driven without a license (so-called light vehicles), but they wanted to diversify, and for this purpose founded the Mega brand, under which Blain wanted to build a super sports car. The project from which the Track emerged began in 1990. The Mega Track was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1992.

Specifications 
The Mega Track was powered by a 6.0 liter M120 V12 petrol engine from the Mercedes-Benz S600, with an output of  and  of torque. Originally, the Track was planned to be four-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive, but this was not implemented due to its complexity.

The Mega Track was a sports car that was also intended to be suitable for off-road use, which is why it had height-adjustable suspension. The vehicle can gain up to  of ground clearance in the highest suspension setting. The Mega Track also had large 20-inch tires (285/55 ZR20 at the front and 325/50 ZR20 at the rear), specifically manufactured by Michelin just for this model. The Mega Track's fuel tank holds 110 liters. The taillights of the Mega Track come from the Audi Coupé (B3). 

The Mega Track accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to .

Production 
Each vehicle was handcrafted in the factory in Aix-les-Bains. In 1992, the price of the Mega Track was 1.7 million francs (excluding taxes). Partly because of this price, the Track was a commercial failure. Apparently only five to six examples were sold worldwide, two of which are now in the Aixam Group headquarters.

Azmi Hanifah. Mohamad Azmi bin Haji Mohd Hanifah (born December 1971) is a politician and engineer from Brunei who became the incumbent Deputy Minister of Energy at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) since 2023.

Education and early career 
After earning a Bachelor's degree in Chemical and Process Engineering from the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, Mohamad Azmi began working as a Graduate Process Engineer at Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) in 1995. With a four-year assignment in Oman and a five-year secondment occupying key responsibilities in the Ministry of Energy and the Energy and Industry Department at the PMO, he has experience in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, he worked for a nearby oil and gas contractor firm for nearly two years. 

Mohamad Azmi has worked with BSP in a variety of engineering capacities, including front-end, offshore campaign, and process engineering. Managing many engineering departments, including Corporate Front-End Engineering, West Asset Engineering, Onshore Engineering and Construction, and Asset Engineering Design, he produced projects with significant economic importance.

Ministerial career 
Mohamad Azmi served as the PMO's Head of Energy Services Business Development from 2013 to 2018. Before being named the deputy permanent secretary (Energy & Industry), permanent secretary (Industry), and permanent secretary (Energy & Industry), he was seconded to the government. Additionally, he was named to various Government Statutory Bodies and Government Linked Companies (GLCs) as a member. In 2020, he returned to BSP in the role of commercial director. In addition to his position as commercial director, he was named as BSP's deputy managing director in 2021. On 24 October 2023, he was appointed by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah to the position of Deputy Minister (Energy) in the PMO, succeeding Matsatejo Sokiaw.

On 28 August, Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO), through its representative Mohamad Azmi, signed a statement of intent (SOI) with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) about the "Patent Prosecution Highway Plus (PPH+)" to initiate a new patent examination cooperation program.

During the 31st Institute of Brunei Technical Education (IBTE) convocation event on 6 December 2023, Mohamad Azmi stated that a high-quality national education system should be a top priority in order to produce a highly qualified workforce and increase economic productivity. The deputy minister asked IBTE to keep creating a high-caliber, competitive, and pertinent TVET education program in keeping with Brunei Vision 2035. In order to guarantee that the curriculum remains relevant to both present and future business demands, he emphasised the institution's dedication to maintaining ties with the corporate and local sectors.

Tram with suspended articulation. A tram with a suspended articulation is a type of tram or streetcar architecture with one or more articulations being suspended. Here, articulations (i.e. permanent coupling) work like a hinge joint and are not supported by a bogie.  This is unlike the more common solution with an articulation resting on a special connecting bogie, called jacobs bogie. Seen from the side at ground level, the suspended joint seems to be 'floating' because the lack of wheels directly under the joint.

The shortest examples consist of two sections. One section on two axles or two bogies; the other section rests both on one bogie and the other section, similar to a semi-trailer. In the diagram to the right, the short centre section supports the two end sections. Each of the end sections rests on one bogie and also on the centre section. It is a popular tram/light rail architecture for vehicles in North America.

History 

In 1928 an experimental tram was constructed in Görlitz and then put into service in Dresden until the mid-1960s. This car was numbered 2501 and had three sections: the center section had four fixed wheels, both end sections had each only one adjustable axle.
Genoa was the first city to have a series of trams of this type. From 1940 onwards 31 trams were built by combining older tramcars. The lay out was very simple: the front section had one four wheeled truck, the end sections followed like a semi-trailer and had one fixed axle at the rear. The ride comfort was rather poor.

The first newly build series appeared in Bremen in 1956. The only difference with the type in Genoa was that the end car hand a one-axle bogie and therefore slight improved ride qualities. Vienna had an improved version of this type, with a two axle bogie at the end. This so-called Type F was longer than the version in Bremen and had a more streamlined design.

Second generation 
The second generation of trams all have a pivoting bogie both at the front and the end side. This way the ride is much smoother when entering curves. The first to use this concept was the Mirage type in Zürich in 1966. The center rests on a set of four fixed wheels.

Low floor designs 
The first modern low floor tram design also had floating articulations. Both Vevey and Duewag joined forces to create this tram type for the network in Geneva. Though the  design didn't have an entirely low floor, as it was still 48 cm above the rail. The second type (being named TFS-2) has a similar setup as the Mirage trams for Zürich. Using floating articulations, Alstom was able to create a low floor (less than 35 cm high) over 60% of the tramcar length. Since the start of the Sheffield Supertram, it uses only vehicles with floating joints. This setup is used for the majority of LRVs in North America.

Aselsan Albatros USV family. Albatros USV family () consists of  high-speed unmanned surface  seaborne targets of catamaran-type Albatros-K, swarm-type Albatros-S and V-hull-type Albatros-T built by the Turkish defense company Aselsan for the needs of the Turkish Naval Forces.

Overview 
Albatros USV family members are high-speed seaborne targets developed by the Turkish state-owned defense company Aselsan, consisting of catamaran-type Albatros-K', swarm-type Albatros-S, and V-hull-type Albatros-T. They are intended to be used by the Turkish Naval Forces Command's surface elements in target missions in countering asymmetric threats and shooting training with fast surface target.

In addition to serving as asymmetrical fast surface targets, the boats can imitate radar cross sectional area of assault boat or frigate, maneuver and speed movements, and are successfully used as surface targets in surface artillery, close-defense weapon systems and guided missile shooting.

The maneuver patterns needed in Albatros USVs are defined by pre-planning or on-site processing, and the boats are used effectively by making various tactical movements such as zig-zag drawing or direct fast attack.

History 
The Albatros USVs have been in use in naval exercises like "Deniz Kurdu" ("Sea Wolf") and "Mavi Vatan" ("Blue Homeland") and surface shooting trainings by the Turkish Naval Forces since 2017.
