Motor Mart Building. The Motor Mart Building, also known as the Commerce Building, is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States.  It was built by Ralph A. Bennett, who was the owner of Bennett Auto Supply Company.  The structure was designed in the style of the Chicago school by E.J. Henriques of the C.F. Lytle Company of Sioux City, who also built the structure.  It was initially designed to be two stories tall, but the plans were changed and two more floors were added.  It was designed to display, repair and provide parking for automobiles.  It was also the first building in Sioux City to incorporate the flat slab system of framing of Claude A.P. Turner, and it was one of the first reinforced, poured concrete buildings in the city.  The exterior of the concrete frame structure is clad with glazed brick over common brick infill.  The building features terra cotta decorative elements.

A.L. Galinsky bought the building in 1919 and converted it into an office building.  Its name was changed to the Commerce Building at that time.  The Roof Garden was added above the fourth floor from 1921 to 1923.  It is a gabled structure covered with stucco.  Large Palladian windows line the side walls.  The structure housed a ballroom that hosted a variety of social events, and where many big bands played.  Lawrence Welk played an early concert here.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

Tactile (device). Tactile is a real-time text-to-braille translation device currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was conceived by a team of undergraduate students, competing as "Team 100% Enthusiasm", during a 15-hour MIT "hackathon". The device is slid over printed text and a camera captures images of the words and sends them to a microcontroller. The information moves the pins up and down, translating the text into Braille. Once on the market it is hoped to be much cheaper than existing devices.

People
The six-person development team comprises Chandani Doshi, Grace Li, Jialin Shi, Bonnie Wang, Charlene Xia, and Tania Yu, all undergraduate students at MIT at the time of Tactile's conception. A joint collaboration in materials science, mechanical and electrical engineering, and computer science, Tactile received popular media attention for its rapid pace of development, as well as its inventors all being women in STEM fields with disproportionally low female representation.

Development
Tactile provides real-time translation of English text, captured by integrated camera, into braille dynamically rendered on a refreshable display. The end product is to display 36 braille characters at a time on a  interface with an intended retail price around US$100. With existing braille display devices priced in the range of $1,500 to $2,500, Tactile has been characterized as a potential "quantum leap forward for the blind community."

The Tactile team was awarded a $10,000 grant in the MIT IDEAS Global Challenge and was accepted into the Microsoft Patent Program, receiving funding and legal counsel from Microsoft to apply for patent protection in the United States. The application was filed on September 16, 2016, and presently has patent pending status.

OMNeT++. OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++) is a modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators. OMNeT++ can be used for free for non-commercial simulations like at academic institutions and for teaching. OMNEST is an extended version of OMNeT++ for commercial use.

OMNeT++ itself is a simulation framework without models for network protocols like IP or HTTP. The main computer network simulation models are available in several external frameworks. The most commonly used one is INET which offers a variety of models for all kind of network protocols and technologies like for IPv6, BGP. INET also offers a set of mobility models to simulate the node movement in simulations. The INET models are licensed under the LGPL or GPL. NED (NEtwork Description) is the topology description language of OMNeT++. 

To manage and reduce the time to carry out large-scale simulations, additional tools have been developed, for example, based on Python.

ESZ Personenwagen C 36 – C 38. ESZ Personenwagen C 36 – C 38 (Passenger coaches C 36 - C 38) was the name of three two-axle passenger cars of the electric trams in the canton of Zug (ESZ).

History and development
The company Electric Railways in the Canton of Zug (ESZ) opened on 9 September 1913 the overland tramway track Zug - Oberägeri, Zug -  Baar -Thalacker and Nidfurren-Menzingen. On all routes, In the first years, the motor vehicles  CFe 4/4  drove off as solo coaches and replaced the automobilebus, because the previously used nine-pound Orion Autobuses were not reliable and were not comfortable with their solid rubber wheels on the unpaved road.

The ESZ ordered the two two-axle passenger cars C 36 and C 37 in 1919 by SWS Schlieren. These were put into operation on March 31, 1920. The third car, C 38, entered service in 1926.

The tram service on these routes was discontinued in 1953 and replaced by Saurer 5 DUK buses. In 1955, the three wagons were sold to the Sernftal tramway in Canton Glarus. In 1969 this train was also replaced by buses. The coach C-38 was scrapped after 1986. The other two were taken over by the social club Eurovapor  and brought to Solothurn. Until 1981 the wagons were unused on the tracks of Solothurn-Zollikofen-Bern-Bahn and Bern-Worb-Bahnen. C-36 was scrapped at the beginning of the 1970s. The remaining coach C-37 was sold to the Jagsttalbahn in Germany. In 1983/1984 he was  revised and equipped with wheel sets for  Track gauge. The Jagsttalbahn has been shut down since some time and the continuation is uncertain. This also affects the fate of the former ESZ passenger coach.

ESZ CFe 4/4. CFe 4/4 was the designation of the electric railcar of the Elektrische Strassenbahnen im Kanton Zug (ESZ) (English: Electric Tramways of the Canton of Zug), build by the Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon and delivered from 1913 onwards. One of the CFe 4/4 of the ESZ had the nickname "elephant".

History and development
The company Electric Tramways of the Canton of Zug (ESZ) opened on 9 September 1913 the overland tramway track Zug–Oberägeri, Zug–Baar–Thalacker and Nidfurren–Menzingen. On all routes, in the first years, the motor vehicles CFe 4/4 ran as solo coaches and replaced the motor bus, because the previously used nine-pound Orion Autobuses were not reliable and were not comfortable with their solid rubber wheels on the unpaved road.

These were driven solo or, as from on 1920, with railroad cars of the type ESZ Personenwagen C 36 – C 38. Closed and open goods wagons were used for freight transport.

Three CFe 4/4 were purchased as passenger railcars (Nos. 1, 2 and 4). The CFe 4/4 with the number 3 was procured as a goods railcar with the designation Fe 4/4 and the ESZ number 21.

The name "elephant" comes from the grey paint, which the third CFe 4/4 initially had. This was converted to passenger railcar in 1916 as a result of the need for more transport capacity for passengers. The tram service on these routes was put to an end in 1953 and were replaced by buses. The four CFe 4/4 of the ESZ were sold to the Wynental- and Suhrentalbahn WSB (Wynental and Suhrental Railway), Langenthal-Jura-Bahn (LJB) and Oberaargau-Jura-Bahnen (OJB).

After the end of the electric tramways in the canton of Zug, all vehicles were sold. Today the passenger railcar C-37 is still in possession of the Jagsttalbahn, an ESZ CFe 4/4 was brought again from Langenthal to Neuheim and restored in the original colours. This ESZ CFe 4/4 is now located in the Zug depot technology history (German: Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte).

Saurer 5 DUK. The Saurer 5 DUK is a bus of the Swiss manufacturer  Adolph Saurer AG, from  Arbon.

History and development
The Saurer  5 DUK is a left-steered bus and PostBus type of the former PTT operations and various regional bus / transport companies in Switzerland.  DUK stands for Diesel-Unterflur-Kompressor (diesel underfloor compressor). At the post office, these Saurer 5 DUKs were used as postbus busses or as postbus busses with a single axle luggage trailer. The Saurer 5 DUK was built from 1953 on. 

It has a driver's seat, 39 passenger seats, 33 standing places and a luggage compartment. The luggage compartment is directly behind the rear exit door and has a partition with sliding door with glass panes. There are also seats in the luggage compartment. The passenger compartment is divided in the middle by a partition with a door, because in the past the rear part of the bus was designed as a smoking compartment. With the prohibition of smoking in  public buses only the doors of the smoking compartment were removed, and the rest of the partition remained. For PTT operations, these Saurer 5 DUKs were used as single postbus busses, or as postbus busses with a single axle luggage trailer.

In the Zugerland transport companies ZVB  (German: Zugerland Verkehrsbetrieben), these buses were mainly used on the mountain lines Zug-Ägeri (line 1) and Zug-Menzingen (line 2).

The ZVB buses were also equipped with split dispenser in front of the rear wheels in order to achieve better grip on snow and ice. These are used as pure buses, as buses with the passenger trailer APE 4.80 or with the passenger trailer APE 4.80 and the luggage trailer AGP 3. These trailer were used also  by the successor model, the FBW 91U EU4A.

Without a trailer, a maximum speed of up to 120 km/h would have been possible.

By 1975/76, the Saurer 5 DUK was replaced by more modern vehicles such as the FBW 91U EU4A bus with Hess superstructures.

With the purchase in 1975, together with the orange buses, which were held in VST unit paintwork, additional new ordered APE 4.80 trailers got also the orange paintwork and not the blue one like the Saurer 5 DUK and the older APE 4.80.

Some Saurer 5 DUK were sold to Eastern European countries. 

A Saurer 5 DUK of the ZVB is located in the Zug depot technology history (German: Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte).
