NuTonomy. NuTonomy (stylized as nuTonomy) was an MIT spin-off technology startup company that made software to build self-driving cars and autonomous mobile robots. The company was founded in 2013. In August 2016, it launched its robo-taxi service (pilot project) in Singapore. In October 2017, Delphi Automotive (now Aptiv) purchased the company, which then became part of the Motional autonomous driving joint venture between Aptiv and Hyundai Motor Group.

History
NuTonomy began testing its software on cars in early 2016. One of the cars used to test its software included Mitsubishi i-MiEV. The product is still in research and development phase.

In August 2016, it launched its autonomous taxi service using a fleet of 6 modified Renault Zoes and Mitsubishi i-MiEVs.

NuTonomy later signed three significant partnerships to develop its technology and service: with Grab, with Groupe PSA, which is supposed to provide the company with Peugeot 3008 SUVs, and the last one with Lyft to launch a Robo-Taxi service in Boston.

In October 2017, Delphi Automotive (now Aptiv) purchased the company.

Technology
NuTonomy-fitted cars use "formal logic" to decide motion, maneuverability, and speed. The software guides a car on how to plan its motion through an environment.

Pindal Electric Tramway. The Pindal Electric Tramway is a small privately owned tramway operating on  gauge in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

History
Owned by Canadian animator Kaj Pindal, the tramway opened in 1965 in Montreal, but moved to Oakville in 1980. Essentially a garden railway, the line is unusual for its gauge of , usually associated with more extensive rail networks. The line is powered by overhead electric cables, with the power transmitted to the tramcars via pantograph, which is also highly unusual in the  gauge. Although few private homes are able to accommodate a railway of  gauge, the Pindal Electric Tramway operates, by agreement with the Town of Oakville, partly on Pindal's private property, and partly on land owned by the city.

Rolling stock
The Pindal Electric Tramway operates a fleet of seven scale electric tramcars, and several passenger trailers, as well as a small number of flatbed and freight trailers.

Spaulding Bridge. The Spaulding Bridge is a historic Parker pony truss bridge carrying Mill Street across the Black River in Cavendish, Vermont.  Built in 1905, it is one of the state's few surviving examples of a metal truss bridge built before state aid and standardization of bridge types became widespread in Vermont.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

Description and history
The Spaulding Bridge is located just south of the village center of Cavendish, carrying Mill Street toward points south of the village.  It is a single-span Parker pony truss,  in length, with a width of . A sidewalk is carried by outriggers from the main bridge stringers on one side.  It is built out of I-beams, plates, and flanges, connected by pins.  The trusses are set on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete.

The bridge was built for the town in 1905 by Henry Norton, and was dedicated to Gilbert and Olive Spaulding.  It is one of a small number of surviving pin-connected truss bridges in the state; this style of construction was already falling out of fashion when this bridge was built, replaced by field riveting.  The bridge underwent a major restoration in 2005.

Denel SARA. The Denel SARA (Small African Regional Aircraft) is a projected 24-passenger turboprop regional airliner with rough field capabilities. The project was announced at the Africa Aerospace and Defence exhibition in September 2014, by the state-owned defence industrial group Denel. The project has a goal of permitting landings at fields with runways shorter than 1,000m, of which there are more than 460 in South Africa alone.

Design and development
The SARA project originated in 2012 when a SARA Steering Committee, co-chaired by the CEOs of Denel Aerostructures SOC Ltd and Denel Aviation, was set up. Various options were considered. A high wing configuration was selected for SARA to meet the issue of foreign object debris, for example stones thrown up by the propellers during landing, taking off and taxiing.

SARA will have a degree of STOL capability, but will not be optimised for STOL operations as it affects other performance parameters negatively. It will be certified under Part 25 of the US Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR 25) with up to 24 seats. It is now in a concept design phase based on market research. 

Three versions of the SARA are planned – an airliner version with 24 passengers; a combi version able to carry 12 passengers and one LD2 cargo pallet; and a freight version able to transport three LD2 pallets. It is planned to have a maximum takeoff weight of  and a pressurised cabin.

Preliminary and detailed design stages are still to come with no final design yet. Denel is currently building a full-size mock-up of the SARA to be used as a test rig to check the ease of ingress and egress of passengers; seating layouts; internal cabin arrangements; basic cockpit arrangements; and other parameters. The development phase was expected to last five years, with a prototype aircraft to be manufactured by 2020 or 2021. However, as of late 2021, no prototype has been publicly reported and Denel is reported lack capital to continue full operations.

Operational continuity. Operational continuity refers to the ability of a system to continue working despite damages, losses, or critical events. In the Human Resources and Organizational domain, including IT, it implies the need to determine the level of resilience of the system, its ability to recover after an event, and build a system that resists to external and internal events or is able to recover after an event without losing its external performance management capability. Organizational Continuity is achieved only with specific corporate planning. In the material domain, it determines the need to adopt redundant systems, performance monitoring systems, and can even imply the practice to cannibalize or to remove serviceable assemblies, sub-assemblies or components from a repairable or serviceable item of equipment to install them on another, in order to keep the external system performance active. Operational continuity may be referred to single systems, single individuals, up to teams or entire complex systems such as IT infrastructures, implying the ability of an organization or system to continue to provide its mission.

Wibault 220. The Wibault 220 or Wibault R.N.3 220 was a twin-engined French night reconnaissance aircraft. Two were built in 1930 to a government contract.

Design

Michel Wibault was one of the pioneers of all-metal aircraft, along with Hugo Junkers and Claudius Dornier. The Wibault 220, designed for the night reconnaissance role and with a crew of three (hence the R.N.3 designation), had both metal structure and covering, the latter longitudinally corrugated for stiffness where required. Its high, cantilever wing had a rectangular plan centre-section and trapezoidal outer panels.  The latter also tapered in section, mostly on the underside, providing a little dihedral. High aspect ratio, unbalanced ailerons filled the outer panels' trailing edges.  The wing was built around two І-section spars. Like other Wibault aircraft built before the Wibault 280, the ribs projected through the wing surface, which was constructed from metal strips with turned up edges.

The Wibault 220 was powered by two  Gnome-Rhône 9Ac Jupiter nine-cylinder radial engines, each wing-mounted under the outer centre-section. They were attached at three points on the front and rear spars by a system of duralumin plates and steel tubes and were enclosed in teardrop cowlings with their cylinder heads exposed for cooling.

Its flat-sided fuselage was dural framed, with all sides covered in corrugated dural sheet.  The upper- and undersides had rounded deckings. The nose was semi-cylindrical in plan and contained an open cockpit for the navigator, who was provided with a flexibly mounted pair of machine guns. The pilot was also in an open cockpit, which was built into the wing leading edge; the rear gunner/observer's position was a little behind the trailing edge, equipped with another pair of flexibly mounted guns. Its floor had an opening into which a reconnaissance camera could be fitted. The gunner also had access to a ventral gun position.  Behind him the fuselage tapered slightly to a conventional, cantilever tail with its triangular tailplane mounted on top and carrying narrow chord elevators. The fin was also triangular, with a tall, trapezoidal rudder which extended to the keel.

The Wibault 220 had fixed, conventional landing gear with its mainwheels on V-struts hinged to the lower fuselage frames.  The wheels were positioned below the engines, to which they were connected by vertical Messier oleo legs so that the track was a generous . The tailskid also had a Messier shock absorber and was steerable.

Development

The French Senate approved the order for two examples of the Wibault 220 in March 1930 and both were reported as under construction in April. By late May 1930 one was being tested at Villacoublay and by early June Raoul Ribière had made several flights. After that, nothing more about the 220 appears in the French aviation journals.

Larkin Covered Bridge (North Tunbridge, Vermont). The Larkin Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Larkin Road across the First Branch White River in northern Tunbridge, Vermont.  Built in 1902, it is one of the last documented covered bridges to be built in Vermont during the historic period of bridge construction, and is one of five covered bridges in the town.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Description and history
The Larkin Covered Bridge stands a short way north of the village center of North Tunbridge, on Larkin Road a short way east of its junction with Vermont Route 110.  It is a single-span multiple kingpost truss structure,  long and  wide, with a  roadway (one lane).  It rests on abutments of stone and concrete, and is covered by a metal roof.  Its side walls are made of vertical board siding and have no openings.  The portal ends and the interiors of the portals are also finished in vertical board siding.  Although the trusses are set to form a rectangle, the portals are slightly skewed, giving the bridge a parallelogram shape on the outside.

The bridge was built in 1902, and is one of only two documented early 20th-century bridges in the state; the other is the Kingsbury Covered Bridge in nearby Randolph, built in 1904.  The bridge is one of five in Tunbridge, which, when combined with one in Chelsea, form a remarkably dense concentration of covered bridges across a single waterway in the state.
