Volkswagen ID. Vizzion. The Volkswagen ID. Vizzion is  a concept electric vehicle, part of Volkswagen's ID. project. The firm is planning to sell a production version of the vehicle by 2022. It should be expected that some of the claims of the Vizzion Concept, such as the autonomous level 5 driving, will very likely not make it the final 2022 production version of the vehicle. The Vizzion Concept is more likely to represent what driving in the year 2030 could be like.

Technical statistics 

The Vizzion Concept has an all-wheel drive system, powered by the electric motors on the front and back of the vehicle for a combined total of 302 hp. The concept has a 111-kWh battery, making the Vizzion good for . The car would be equipped with sensors that aid in the user experience (such as a 360 degree camera and a facial recognition system) as well as allow the car to drive autonomously. The headlights include 8,000 HD Matrix LEDs, allowing the car to "communicate with the outside world by projecting the image of crosswalk lines in front of the I.D. VIZZION to let pedestrians know they can safely pass in front."

Design 
The Vizzion Concept's design was aimed to eliminate any seams or obstructions for passengers. It features rear-opening doors and windows that lie flush with the body-work of the car, thus giving the car a futuristic look. The vehicle also features several LED strips that surround the car, highlighting the front grille, the door handles, rear fenders and the sides. The lights on the car start pulsating to let the user know that the car has detected one of its passengers' faces using integrated sensors. The interior features only two analog dials: they are multi-functional, but are primarily for adjusting the stereo. The majority of car functions are controlled through hand gestures in the heads-up display and voice controls. The car features no steering wheel or any dashboard, as the car is level 5 autonomous.

Volkswagen claims that the technology for the car is "much closer than you think", either already existing or under development by Volkswagen.

Vizzion production vehicle (2023–2024) 
Little is known about details and design the production version of the vehicle. The majority of information comes from official Volkswagen statements. Volkswagen says that they are aiming to start production of a toned down, more production ready version of the Vizzion in 2022, and that it will not include level 5 autonomous driving. Volkswagen also confirms that they are following through with the 302 hp, 111-kWh battery, and the 400 mile range figures of their original concept.

In popular culture 
In the 2023 French animated film Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie, Gabriel Agreste drive an ID. Vizzion, following a deal between Volkswagen and French company ZAG Inc.

Patient tracking system. A patient tracking system (also called patient identification system) allows a healthcare provider to log and monitor the progress of a person through the provision of care during their stay there. Such systems are part of an overall information system and may interact with the person's electronic health record, where information specific to the person is stored, the system used by radiology departments to track patients as well as the system storing medical images, the pathology laboratory information management system, as well as patient check-in and check-out systems.

Increasingly people, as well as biopsies and associated equipment are tagged in various ways, for example with radio-frequency identification tags.

A given floor or ward may use a white board as its system to track the status of all the people being cared for; for example in an obstetrics ward, each mother in labor is listed, along with her status and the time she was last checked.

Trancitor. The trancitor  as the combined word of a "transfer-capacitor" is to be considered as another active-device category besides the transistor as a "transfer-resistor". As observed in the table shown, four kinds of active devices are theoretically deduced. Among them, trancitors are missing to be the third and fourth kinds, whereas transistors, such as bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and field-effect transistor (FET), were already invented as the first and second kinds, respectively. Unlike the transistor switching the current at its output (i.e., current source), the trancitor transfers its input to the voltage output (i.e., voltage source), so an inverse relationship with each other.

History 
The term, trancitor, and its concept were first conceived by Sungsik Lee, a professor at the Department of Electronics Engineering, Pusan National University, South Korea, through his article, entitled A Missing Active Device — Trancitor for a New Paradigm of Electronics, in arXiv uploaded on 30 April 2018, and published on 23 August 2018 in IEEE Access. And the supplementary video was also publicised. This story was first featured by the MIT Technology Review on 23 May 2018, entitled Another "Missing" Component could Revolutionize Electronics. Since then, it has been distributed and discussed by many other internet media and communities.

GreenTec Awards. The GreenTec Awards are an international environmental award based in Germany. Founded in 2008 by the Berlin-based consultancy VKP engineering GmbH, the prize honors projects, products, and people contributing to the protection of the environment. The GreenTec Awards were formerly known as the Clean Tech Media Awards.

In 2017, Canada was the partner country of the GreenTec Awards; Norway is official partner for 2019. In 2018, the GreenTec Awards opened the IFAT, the world's biggest trade fair for environmental technologies, for the third time.

Contest 
The GreenTec Awards are awarded annually in varying categories. Additionally, there are "Special Prizes".

Certification 
The competition of the GreenTec Awards is supervised by TÜV Nord in order to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection of the laureates. The award process received the certificate "Certified process of competition" by TÜV Nord.

Jury 
Currently, a 75-member jury with independent representatives from business, media, and science chooses two of the three finalists per category  –  the third finalist is determined via a public online voting. In an annual jury meeting, the top three projects are presented and discussed and the winners are chosen in a secret vote.

In 2013, the dual fluid nuclear reactor design won the public vote for the Galileo Knowledge Prize, but the award committee presiding over the awards changed the rules to exclude all nuclear designs before announcing the winner. The DFR participants successfully sued in response to this.

Award ceremony 
The GreenTec Awards are awarded at an annual gala event with 1000 guests from business and industry, science, politics, media, and showbiz. The event alternately takes place in Berlin and Munich and is organized in collaboration with partners from different social sectors, such as Fraunhofer, Wilo, and the Germany Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). With music acts, media partners like Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, WirtschaftsWoche and ProSieben, and a "Green Carpet", the GreenTec Awards seek to make the topic of environmental protection more appealing to the broad public.

James Arnot Hamilton. Sir  James Arnot Hamilton  (2 May 192324 May 2012) was a British aircraft designer who helped design Concorde and the SEPECAT Jaguar. He also served as the permanent secretary of the Department for Education. Specialising in wing design, he was largely responsible for Concorde's distinctive wing.

Biography
James Hamilton was born on 2 May 1923 in Midlothian. He attended Lasswade Secondary School and Penicuik High School, before going on to receive a degree in civil engineering from the University of Edinburgh. He served in the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment from 1943 to 1952, where he worked on anti-submarine weaponry and seaplanes, rising to head of flight research. He then worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, becoming head of the projects division in 1964 before budget reductions led to his projects being stopped.

In 1965, Hamilton took control of the project to build the SEPECAT Jaguar. Launched in 1972, with various air forces, the Jaguar was used in numerous conflicts and military operations in Mauritania, Chad, Iraq, Bosnia, and Pakistan, as well as providing a ready nuclear delivery platform for Britain, France, and India throughout the latter half of the Cold War and beyond. In 1966, he was named head of the British portion of the Concorde project. Specialising in wing design, he was largely responsible for the plane's distinctive wing.

Though the project would not be completed until 1976, Hamilton left in 1971 to become deputy secretary for aerospace in the Department of Trade and Industry. As deputy secretary, he oversaw cancellation of the Black Arrow project and the nationalisation of Rolls-Royce's aviation engine division. In 1973, he served as Deputy Cabinet Secretary until being moved to the education department and taking control of the Department of Education and Science. He retired from government in 1983.

Hamilton served on the boards of various corporations, including Hawker Siddeley, and chaired Brown and Root UK. He was president of The Association for Science Education.  Hamilton was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1952, a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1972 and a Knight Commander of that order in 1978.

Hamilton married Christine McKean in Glasgow in 1947, they had three children together before the marriage was dissolved in 1977.  From 1995 until his death he was in a relationship with Marcia Cunningham.  Hamilton died in Winchester, Hampshire on 24 May 2012.

Kim Jelfs. Kim E. Jelfs is a computational chemist based at Imperial College London, known for her contributions to the field of materials chemistry. She was one of the recipients of the prestigious Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prizes in 2018, recognizing her innovative research. Jelfs specializes in developing advanced computational methods and software to predict the structures and properties of molecular systems, particularly in the design of porous materials for renewable energy applications. Her work plays a crucial role in the discovery of novel materials for gas storage, carbon capture, and energy-efficient separations, bridging the gap between theoretical modeling and experimental chemistry.

Early life and education
Jelfs studied chemistry at University College London. For her final year project, Jelfs worked at the Royal Institution. She earned her PhD in 2010, working with Ben Slater on modelling the growth of zeolitic materials.

Research and career
After completing her PhD Jelfs joined the University of Barcelona, working with Stefan Bromley. She moved to the University of Liverpool, working as a postdoctoral researcher with Matthew Rosseinsky and Andrew Ian Cooper. At the University of Liverpool Jelfs characterised the structure of porous materials. She was funded by an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Programme Grant.

In 2013 she joined Imperial College London as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. In 2015 she was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant, which provides €1.5 million funding for five years of materials discovery. Her research will consider porous molecules, organic small molecules and polymers. She uses computational models to predict the relationships between structure and properties. The models can also be used to predict the properties of amorphous frameworks and porous molecules. Her group identified the 20 most probable topologies for porous cage molecules, which can be synthesised through dynamic covalent chemistry.

In 2018 Jelfs was awarded the Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry. She was also awarded an Imperial College London President's Award for Outstanding Early Career Research. In 2019, she was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Chemistry.

Thorstrand. Thorstrand is a historic estate located in Madison, Wisconsin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.

History
Originally  of cornfield, the land was purchased in the 1890s by Magnus Swenson (1854-1936), a Norwegian who immigrated to America at age 14, and made his way from working as a blacksmith's helper to a career as a chemical engineer, an internationally known inventor, businessman and humanitarian.  Among his many achievements, Swenson patented over 200 machines and processes, built hydroelectric dams on the Wisconsin River, and founded the Norwegian-American Steamship Lines.

Magnus Swenson named the property “Thorstrand” (which means “Thor’s Beach” in Norwegian) after the place where he grew up in Norway.  The road from University Ave through this land still bears the name Thorstrand Rd.

Magnus, his wife Annie and their four daughters, lived near the capitol square in Madison and would make regular trips to the property to picnic and plant a variety of trees, until 1922, when they had two Mediterranean Revival style homes built there, designed by Madison Architects Law and Law.  One house was for Magnus and Annie Swenson (#2 Thorstrand Rd.), the other for his married daughter, Mary Swenson North (#1 Thorstrand Rd).

Over the years, some of the land was sold.  After Mary Swenson North died in 1977, the remaining 15.29 acre estate was sold to the City of Madison in 1978, to be preserved as an addition to “Marshall Park”, for use as a passive recreation area.  When it was learned that the homes would likely be demolished, they were declared Madison Historic Landmarks, protecting them from such a fate.

The homes were subsequently sold to individuals, but the land continues to be owned by the city and a portion associated with each home is leased to the homeowner through a 99-year land lease agreement.  Mary Swenson North's daughter, Mary North O’Hare, bought back her mother's home, and it has remained in the family since that time.  In 2011, Mary North O’Hare died, and at the time of this writing, (September 2018) the home had just been put on the market for sale.

Daimler Car Hire Garage. 

The Daimler Car Hire Garage, is a garage built in Art Deco style for Daimler Hire Limited at 7-11 Herbrand Street, Bloomsbury, London, England. It was grade II listed by Historic England in 1982.

History
The building was completed in 1931 for Daimler Hire Limited in the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles to a design by the architects Wallis, Gilbert and Partners. Pevsner and Cherry describe it as "Stuccoed concrete, with a bold spiral ramp continuing to the roof, as if more floors were intended; abstract Art Deco ornament around windows and staircase entrance".

In 1958 the building was sold to Hertz when Hertz acquired Daimler Hire. The upper floors of the building was subsequently used as the headquarters for the London Taxi Company, while the basement was occupied by Frames Rickard Coaches, and the building became known as the Frames Coach Station. In 2000 it was refurbished by PKS Architects, converted into offices and occupied by the advertising agency McCann (at the time McCann Erickson). They moved out in 2010.
