Hurtu. Hurtu was a pioneering French car made by Diligeon et Cie based in Albert, Somme from 1896 to 1930.  As well as cars, the company also made sewing machines and bicycles.

The company was founded in 1880 as Hurtu, Hautin et Diligeon as a maker of sewing machines but soon added machine tools and bicycles to their range. In 1895 E. Diligeon bought out his partners and renamed the company Diligeon et Cie but continued to use the Hurtu name on his products. They made their first car in 1896, a licence built version of the Leon Bollée tricar. They ended up making more of these then Leon Bollée themselves. Four wheel vehicles followed in 1897 with a close copy of the German Benz, a version of which was also made in England by Belsize Motors in Manchester.

In 1899 the company was re-organised and renamed as the Compagnie des Automobiles et Cycles Hurtu. In 1900 the Benz type car was replaced by a new model powered by a De Dion-Bouton 3.5 hp single-cylinder engine with shaft drive and 2- or 4-seat open coachwork.

1907 models started to feature a dashboard radiator as used by Renault, and this style continued in use until 1920.

1913 production seems to have been around 600 cars comprising 4-cylinder models of 1692cc and 2120cc capacity with the gearbox and engine constructed in-unit.

After World War I car production re-commenced and from 1920 a conventional front-radiator 2358cc four-cylinder model appeared with front wheel brakes being fitted from 1922. A smaller 1328cc joined the range in 1925. These continued until 1930 when the company stopped car production but continued as machinery manufacturers.

Teichert (company). Teichert, a private company, is an infrastructure and site development contractor and a construction materials producer.  The company's construction services include mass grading, asphalt paving, concrete curbs and sidewalks, underground pipelines, and joint utility installations.  The construction materials businesses produce crushed stone, sand, gravel, asphalt concrete, ready-mix concrete, and precast concrete products.  Additionally, the Teichert Foundation, a nonprofit organization, awards grants to community organizations and provides employee-matching grants.

History
Adolph Teichert immigrated to New York City from Germany in 1866, and he was recruited by the California Artificial Stone Paving Company in the 1870s.  His craftsmanship was renowned, and some of his earliest work can still be seen in Golden Gate Park and near the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco.

Teichert came to Sacramento to work on laying the sidewalks around the original California State Capitol building, and then started his own business in 1887, building walkways, basement floors, sidewalks, fencing, and other projects.  The original Teichert stamp can still be seen imprinted in many sidewalks throughout many neighborhoods in the region.

Adolph was joined in the company by one of his four children, Adolph Jr., and the two of them grew the business. Over the years, Teichert has grown into a diverse mix of businesses, most notably Teichert Construction and Teichert Materials.  Teichert Construction holds California State Contractor’s License #8, the oldest active contractor’s license in California.

Additionally, the Teicherts helped establish the Northern California Contractors Association - which later became the Northern California chapter of the  Associated General Contractors of America.

Machine Man (novel). Machine Man is a novel written by Max Barry. Published in 2011, it is Barry's fourth novel, following 2006's Company. It was initially an online serial, before being updated and published in 2011 by Vintage Books. The film rights have been picked up by Mandalay Pictures.

Characters
 Dr. Charles Neumann – mechanical engineer
 Dr. Angelica Austin – Charles Neumann's medical doctor
 Lola Shanks – Physical Therapist and Charles Neumann's love interest
 Cassandra Cautery – A middle manager, Better Future
 Carl LaRussos – Security Guard, Better Future
 The Manager – Better Future's CEO

Synopsis

Charles Neumann is a mechanical engineer working at Better Future, a military research company. After losing one of his legs in a hydraulic clamp, he begins to tinker with leg prosthetics. The replacements he builds are so advanced that he amputates his remaining leg in order to make full use of them. Better Futures provides him with his own research division in cybernetics, first aimed at selling medical prosthetics, then at augmentations for private customers and finally at creating augmented soldiers. This eventually leads him to accidentally cut off his hand. Meanwhile, his assistants invent all new things involving the body. He falls in love with Lola, and befriends his body guard Carl.

Over the course of events, Neumann gradually replaces more body parts with machinery, suffering various psychological side effects in the process. After first being rebuilt from the neck down as a machine soldier, his mind is eventually uploaded into a computer.

Chamberlain Group. Chamberlain Group (CGI), the corporate parent company to LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Merlin, and Grifco, designs and engineers residential garage door openers, commercial door operators, security cameras, and gate entry systems.

CGI is also the parent company to Controlled Products Systems Group, the largest wholesale distributor of perimeter access control equipment in the United States.

In September 2021, The Duchossois Group sold the Chamberlain Group to Blackstone.

Product lines
 Chamberlain — the company's do-it-yourself line of garage door openers.
 LiftMaster — the company's line of garage door openers for professional installers.
 Raynor — the company's line of garage door openers for professional installers. This line of professional installers is slightly less common than LiftMaster.
 Craftsman — re-branded Chamberlain models sold at Sears. Those products have a "139" model prefix to denote that the Chamberlain Group made them for Sears.
 Clicker — a line of universal garage door remotes.

Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and Craftsman have interchangeable parts, primarily the gear and circuit boards. The greatest difference between the brands is that Chamberlain and Craftsman operate on a square shaped split-rail system, while LiftMaster consists of one single solid piece of inverted t-shaped rail.

Partnerships
Chamberlain's "myQ" technology is embedded in garage door openers and lights, can be added to Wi-Fi networks to control these devices and is being incorporated into future home products, all through a monthly subscription. At CES 2019, Chamberlain announced a partnership with Amazon, allowing packages to be placed in customers garages with myQ openers, as part of the Amazon Key service.

Integrations 
At the end of 2023, after previously ending Google Assistant support and discontinuing its official Apple HomeKit integration, the company disabled all other third party access to their "myQ" products, effectively stopping all open-source third-party integrations, like Home Assistant.

Peel Z-1 Glider Boat. The Peel Z-1 Glider Boat, also called the Peel Flying Boat,  is an American biplane, two-seats-in-tandem, flying boat glider that was designed and produced by the Peel Glider Boat Company, starting in about 1930.

Design and development
The Glider Boat was intended as a strictly recreational aircraft, to be towed from the water surface by a powered boat. The company intended to produce a very inexpensive aircraft to cash in on the sudden popularity of aviation following Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

The aircraft is of mixed construction. The  span wing has a wooden spar, steel ribs and is covered in doped aircraft fabric covering. The two wings have a large total area of  and combined with the light gross weight of  give a very light wing loading of just 2.2 lb/sq ft (11 kg/m2). The lower wing tips feature wingtip floats. The hull is made from duralumin and features a stepped shape, similar to most powered flying boats. The aircraft has conventional aircraft controls and was delivered without instruments.

The aircraft was normally launched by a tow rope attached to the glider by a Y-shaped bridle, with release hooks on both sides of the front cockpit. Climbing to a maximum height of  as limited by the supplied tow rope, the glider would then release and glide to a landing on the water surface.

The aircraft was placed in quantity production and sold for US$595 each. Thirty were built before the company went out of business in the Great Depression.

Operational history
In August 2011 there were no Peel Glider Boats left on the US Federal Aviation Administration aircraft registry.

Beijing 1. The Beijing 1 (also known as the Beijing No 1 or Peking No 1) was a prototype twin-engined small airliner of the 1950s designed and built in the People's Republic of China. Only one example was built, the type not entering production.

Design and development
In 1958, the Beijing Aviation Institute (later to become known as the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA) and now Beihang University) was instructed by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai to design an airliner. The resulting design, the Beijing 1, was a small twin-engined low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear and of all metal construction.  It was powered by two  Ivchenko AI-14 driving two-bladed wooden propellers, while its wings were fitted with leading-edge slats and trailing edge flaps to ease operations out of small airfields. A crew of two and 8 to 10 passengers were carried in the aircraft's fuselage.

The Beijing 1 made its maiden flight on 24 September 1958, and was handed over to the Chinese civil aviation authorities on 1 October 1958, the 9th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China. It was the first passenger airliner designed and built in the People's Republic.

Although contemporary reports suggested that the type entered service with Civil Aviation Administration of China, no production followed, with only the single prototype being built. It is now preserved at the Beijing Aviation Museum.
