Schmid Peoplemover. The Schmid peoplemover () is an elevator capable of crossing an obstacle (a road, a railway, a river, etc.). It was invented by Emil Schmid and designed by the company Schmid-Maschinenbau from Sonnenbühl, Germany. Currently ThyssenKrupp Aufzugswerke GmbH is in charge of its maintenance.

A cabin with passengers, including wheelchair users, first moves vertically upwards, then horizontally, thus bridging an obstacle, and finally vertically down. Vertical and horizontal trips are connected by a wide, smooth arc. The company claims that its construction is significantly cheaper than an overpass or underpass, occupies less space and it may be installed in 2–3 days from parts fabricated according to different specifications as to height, span, and visual design style.

The first Schmid peoplemover was installed in 2001 in Pfullingen (across route ). The Pfullingen Peoplemover stopped operating in 2009 due to economic reasons. In 2003 the Ursulabergtunnel opened in Pfullingen, the road no longer was used as a long distance route of high traffic and subsequently downgraded. Traffic lights replaced the people mover. In 2015 it was announced that the nearby city of Reutlingen decided to purchase it and install it at the city hall. However, this was revealed to be an April Fools' Day prank on the next day.

Two Schmid peoplemovers exist since 2006 in Altbach in the district of Esslingen and since 2007 at the Berlin-Rummelsburg Betriebsbahnhof station in Berlin and are used to cross railways and grant accessibility to the platform.

Aerodyne Jumbe. The Aerodyne Jumbe is a series of French single-place and two-place, paragliders that was designed by Michel Le Blanc and produced by Aerodyne Technologies of Talloires.

Design and development
The Jumbe was designed as an intermediate glider, with the five models each named for their relative size. The Jumbe XL is also known as the Shani and can be used for two-place flight training.

The brake travel on the Jumbe was increased over the Spirit and this also increased performance of the design.

Operational history
In a 2003 report, South African paraglider reviewer Jaco Wolmarans describes flying the Jumbe and how he was impressed enough with the design to become a dealer for the company. He evaluated many gliders in use at the time and rated the Jumbe as the best. "When I arrived in Annecy, the shop had only a small Jumbe available, so I took it anyway and flew from the lower launch at Plan Fait. Since it is usually difficult to get up from here, and me being 5kg over the top, I wasn't expecting much so early in the day. In the light conditions, I was not surprised to find myself low over a hill upwind from the landing with not much height left over, but clinging tenaciously to a thermal. A Sky Bronte flying with me earlier had gone down, and the only other traffic was a super-fast UP Gambit, a guy leading an XC course who saw me circling and who came rushing over. We fought bravely, but, well, he landed before me. He landed and apparently muttered to Nicky, who helped me fold the glider (do this in your best French accent): "Djour friend, he flies well!" Imagine my surprise when on my next flight, I went on a little XC jaunt, and found myself low again, on the same hill, with the same UP for company! Poor guy must have felt rotten after that because I outclimbed him by 300m!"

Jumbes were flown by seven pilots in 15 Paragliding World Cup competition races, between March 2007	and June 2010.

Aerodyne Technologies. Aerodyne Technologies was a French aircraft manufacturer based in Étrembières and previously based in Talloires. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paragliders and reserve parachutes.

The company seems to have been founded before 2002 and gone out of business in 2008. The company was owned by Aerodyne International Group, which was headed by Dominique Marcu and seems to also no longer exist.

Aerodyne Technologies was headed by Michel Le Blanc, who was formerly employed by paraglider manufacturers ITV Parapentes and Flying Planet.

While headquartered in France, Aerodyne Technologies had its gliders constructed in a newly built factory in Mauritius. The company constructed a full line of gliders, from the beginner Aerodyne Yogi to the high-performance Shaman and the two-place Totem Bi for flight training.

In 2003 the company's Jumbe glider was tested by South African reviewer Jaco Wolmarans in Annecy, France, against seven other competitor's gliders. He became very impressed with the stability and performance of the design in thermal flying and also with the company itself. He wrote, "I was so impressed by the company, after chatting to them about their range, workmanship and the like, that I offered to represent them in SA. They agreed."

In early 2008, just before it went out of business, the company had certified its Joy model in four sizes as EN B. The Aerodyne Free had been released as a beginner's aerobatic model and the Feel was undergoing testing for certification in the EN C category, at that time forecast for April 2008.

Eight different models of Aerodyne paragliders were flown by 45 pilots in 93 Paragliding World Cup competition races, between September 2002 and August 2011.

Australian Centre for Robotic Vision. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, formerly Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision or ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision, is an unincorporated collaborative venture with funding of  over seven years to pursue a research agenda tackling the critical and complex challenge of applying robotics in the real world.

The centre won the 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge with their robot Cartman.

History
The centre was funded in 2014 by the Australian Research Council (ARC), to conduct research in robotic vision and to increase research capacity, train researchers and to engage with the wider community to help people learn about robotics, vision and coding.

A former collaborator was Data61 (previously known as NICTA or National ICT Australia Ltd).

Research organisations 
The centre is made up of an interdisciplinary team from four Australian universities:
 Queensland University of Technology (QUT),
 The University of Adelaide (UoA),
 The Australian National University (ANU),
 Monash University, and
And international universities:
 INRIA Rennes Bretagne,
 Georgia Institute of Technology,
 Imperial College London,
 The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, 
 The University of Oxford, and
University of Toronto

Goals 
The centre aims to achieve breakthrough science and technology in robotic vision by addressing four key research objectives: robust vision, vision and action, semantic vision, and algorithms and architecture. Together the four research objectives form the centre's research themes, which serve as organisational groupings of the centre's research projects.

Robust vision 

Will develop new sensing technologies and robust algorithms that allow robots to use visual perception in all viewing conditions: night and day, rain or shine, summer or winter, fast moving or static.

Vision and action 

Will create new theory and methods for using image data for control of robotic systems that navigate through space, grasp objects, interact with humans and use motion to assist in seeing.

Semantic vision 

Will produce novel learning algorithms that can both detect and recognise a large, and potentially ever increasing, number of object classes from robotically acquired images, with increasing reliability over time.

Algorithms and architectures 

Will create novel technologies and techniques to ensure that the algorithms developed across the themes can be run in real-time on robotic systems deployed in large-scale real-world applications.

Germanium-vacancy center in diamond. The germanium-vacancy center (Ge-V) is an optically active defect in diamond, which can be created by doping germanium into diamond during its growth or by implanting germanium ions into diamond after its growth. Its properties are similar to those of the silicon-vacancy center in diamond (SiV). Ge-V can behave as a single-photon source and shows potential for quantum and nanoscience applications due to its narrow zero-phonon line (ZPL) and minimal phononic-sideband (compared to that of the nitrogen-vacancy center (NV)).

Properties 

Ge-V is predicted to consist of one germanium atom situated between two adjacent lattice vacancies and have the same D3d point group symmetry as SiV. It has a single ZPL at 602 nm (2.059 eV) at room-temperature, which splits into two components separated by 0.67 meV at low-temperatures (10 K). The Ge-V has an excited state lifetime of 1.4–5.5 ns.

Formation 
Ge-V can be created during the diamond growth, or by ion implantation and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. The former way results in lower lattice strain, as revealed by the spread in the position and width of the Ge-V ZPL.
