Ferrari and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) have developed an easy to use and assemble ventilator that can be used by hospitals when dealing with emergencies such as the coronavirus pandemic.

Designed in just five weeks, the pulmonary ventilator is produced using easily available materials at a lower cost than currently available devices, the creators said.

The project from Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow and the IIT goes by the name FI5.

The letters are the initials of the Maranello marque and the research institute based in Genoa, while the number indicates the number of weeks required to produce a fully functioning prototype.
The ventilator has been designed to meet the typical demands of medium intensive care, and is said to be reliable, versatile, easy to use and assemble.

The Shanghai maglev train or Shanghai Transrapid (Chinese: 上海磁浮示范运营线) is a magnetic levitation train (maglev) line that operates in Shanghai. The line is the third commercially operated maglev line in history (after the British Birmingham Maglev and the German M-Bahn), the oldest commercial maglev still in operation, and the first commercial high-speed maglev with cruising speed of 431 km/h (268 mph). It is also the fastest commercial electric train in the world.

The train line connects Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Longyang Road Station (in the outskirts of central Pudong), where passengers can interchange to the Shanghai Metro to continue their trip to the city center. The line is not part of the Shanghai Metro network, which operates its own service to Pudong Airport from central Shanghai and Longyang Road Station. It cost $39.759 million per kilometer to build. The line's balance of payments has been in huge deficit since its opening.

From 2004 to 2006, Shanghai Maglev Transportation Development Co. Ltd, the company which runs the line, had more than one billion RMB in losses.The line's lack of profitability derives from its construction as a test project for the future of China's rail infrastructure, rather than as a viable market solution for the needs of travelers.

This is the VISION NEXT 100.
Looking towards the next 100 years, each and every Rolls‑Royce will be a unique work of art. Shape, size and silhouette – you will be able to craft your vision entirely from the wheels up. Rolls-Royce 103EX is the first ever vision vehicle, and embodies just one of the endless possibilities that awaits. A personalised icon for the future, providing a sanctuary of calm in an ever-faster world. The pinnacle of effortless autonomous travel, gliding silently through the cities of tomorrow.
YOU ARE THE ARCHITECT
For over 100 years, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has been pushing the boundaries of luxury mobility. We have defied the impossible and engineered timeless works of art. Now, we are on the cusp of making history again. Imagine a future where each Rolls-Royce is as unique as your own fingerprint.

Some, including Porsche with its “sound symposer,” have used noise-boosting tubes to crank up the engine sound inside the cabin. Others have gone further into digital territory: BMW plays a recording of its motors through the car stereos, a sample of which changes depending on the engine's load and power.
Some use pre-recorded or synthesized engine noise played through the speakers.

Others have tubing routed from the intake manifold to a reed valve. The pressure/suction from the intake manifold causes the reed valve to vibrate, creating sound that’s tuned to resemble engine noise. This sound is routed through the firewall and into the cabin.

Increasing emissions regulations and an increasing focus on NVH is reducing the amount of engine sounds at both ends that can be heard inside the cabin. On some cars, especially “sports” cars, buyers prefer to hear some of these noises. And so fake engine noise was created.
