Crystoleum. The crystoleum, from "crystal" + "oleum" (oil), process was a method of applying colour to an albumen print, popular from .

An albumen print was pasted face down to the inside of a concave piece of glass.  Once the adhesive (usually starch paste or gelatin) was dry, the paper backing of the print was rubbed away, leaving only the transparent emulsion on the glass. The image was then coloured by hand, using oil paints.  Another piece of glass was added to the back and this could also be coloured by hand.  Both pieces of glass were bound together creating a detailed, albeit fragile, image. The process was derived from the 18th century mezzotint process.

Bacchus (train). The Bacchus was an express train in Germany, initially linking Dortmund and Munich. The train was named after the Roman God of wine, although for most of its existence it linked two cities famous for producing beer.

History

Trans Europ Express
In 1971 the Deutsche Bundesbahn started an inner German network of first-class only InterCity services modeled after the Trans Europ Express (TEE) criteria, but more frequent than the TEE, one train per hour instead of one train a day. During the 1970s the introduction of second-class coaches in the Intercities was proposed and tested on some routes, resulting in the IC79 project.

The IC79 project was implemented at 28 May 1979, but seven inner German services, including a new train, the Bacchus, stayed first-class-only and were classed as TEE to distinguish them from the two-class InterCity.

The TEE Bacchus was withdrawn only one year after the introduction. As it had run only on weekdays, Bacchus earned itself a record as the shortest-lived TEE, with 254 days of service.

InterCity
The Bacchus was revived as two class InterCity on 2 June 1985 on the same route until 1 June 1991.  A third Bacchus ran between Stuttgart and Münster from 29 May 1994 until 23 May 1998.

Amphibious cycle. An amphibious cycle is a human-powered vehicle capable of operation on both land and water. The design which has received the most coverage is "Saidullah’s Bicycle." The bike uses four rectangular air filled floats for buoyancy which propelled using two fan blades which were attached to the spokes. "Moraga’s Cyclo Amphibious"  uses a simple tricycle frame to support three floaters which provide both the flotation and thrust. The wings on the powered wheels propel the vehicle in a similar way to a paddle wheel.

Another design is the SBK Engineering Shuttle-Bike. It consists of two inflatable floats with straps that allow the carrying of a bicycle by the passenger. The ensemble, when deflated, fits in a backpack for carrying by the cyclist.

Another amphibious vehicle is that of seven engineering students at the University of Southampton. The "Amphibious Cycle" combines a recumbent frame with separate floats, and is propelled using a paddle wheel. A speed test on water achieved an average speed of 1.12 m/s. The cyclist could transition the cycle in and out of the water while unassisted. This prototype has real applications in urban areas of flooding, as well as applications in the leisure industry.

An amphibious vehicle was created by five engineering students at Calvin College as a senior design project (May 2010). This vehicle improves upon previous designs by allowing smooth transition from water to land.

Another recent design was developed by Ebrahim Hemmatnia for his voyage around the world. This velomobile was called the Melanie.

Friedrich Schiller (train). The Friedrich Schiller was an express train in Germany, initially linking Düsseldorf and Stuttgart. The train was named after the philosopher and playwright Friedrich Schiller.

History
In 1971, the Deutsche Bundesbahn started an inner German network of first-class-only InterCity services modeled after the TEE criteria, but more frequent than the TEE, one train per hour instead of one train a day. At 1 October 1972, the Friedrich Schiller was added to this network, initially linking Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. The route was extended northward to Dortmund on 1 June 1975. During the 1970s, the introduction of second-class coaches in the Intercities was proposed and tested on some routes, resulting in the IC79 project. One of these "second-class tests" was carried out with the Friedrich Schiller in the summer of 1977. The route was extended farther north to Hamburg in the summer of 1978. The IC79 project was implemented at 28 May 1979 but the Friedrich Schiller was converted to a first-class-only train and classed as TEE to distinguish it from the two class InterCity. After three years as TEE, the TEE Friedrich Schiller was withdrawn and replaced by other Intercities.

Revival
At 2 June 1985 Friedrich Schiller returned in the timetable and ran between Munich and Dortmund until 1 June 1991. Between 2 June 1991 and 22 May 1993 the Friedrich Schiller was back on his original route and from 23 May 1993 until the withdrawal on 9 June 2001 it ran between Munich and Dortmund again.

Sree Ramkrishna Silpa Vidyapith. Sree Ramkrishna Silpa Vidyapith , established in 1953,  is a government polytechnic located in Suri,  Birbhum district, West Bengal. This polytechnic is affiliated to the West Bengal State Council of Technical Education,  and recognised by AICTE, New Delhi. This polytechnic offers diploma courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical  and Pharmacy.

History
During the second five-year plan period, the infrastructural growth required huge number of trained and skilled manpower to take the country forward. Visionaries like Thakur Satyananda Dev, Sri Satyanarayan Chattopadhyay,
Sri Satyanarayan Bandyopadhyay, Sri Kamada kinkar Mukherjee MLC, Dr.Kaligati Bandyopadhyay felt the necessity to set up a technical institution in Birbhum and founded a technical school, so that Birbhum can contribute to its due share in national development. The journey of a technical school started humbly in a Municipal Godown in Duttapukur near Municipal Girls' School in Suri Birbhum. The technical institution was formally inaugurated on 17 November 1952 by the then Governor of West Bengal H.E. Harendra Coomar Mookerjee. During the early days, the institution offered courses only in Licentiate in Civil Engineering [LCE] and Draftsmanship, this may be a reason why, Sri Ramakrishna Silpa Vidyapith is still today fondly called and known as LC COLLEGE.
Initially classes were held at Ramkrishna Vidyapith. Due to huge popularity and rush of students, a new building and a hostel was built and the institution moved to its new building at present location in the year 1962. The institution flourished and new courses in Licentiate in Mechanical Engineering and Licentiate in Electrical Engineering were offered. Sri Ramakrishna Silpa Vidyapith Suri was taken over by the State Government in the year 1977. Today Sri Ramakrishna Silpa Vidyapith Suri is one of the oldest government polytechnics in West Bengal.
