The F 301 was identical to the Nikon F501 Nikon F 501 sold in North America as the N2020 in almost every way, except it lacked autofocus . The Nikon F 301 is notable for being the first Nikon SLR sold that lacked a film advance lever. As a result the selector knob, also used to lock the shutter button, has a continuous option in addition to the single shot. It was also the first Nikon SLR to feature DX film decoding. A standard hotshoe flash mount sits above the viewfinder, with which a flash may be attached to the camera. The Nikon F 301 does not feature a built in pop up flash the Nikon F401 F 401 was the first Nikon SLR to have this feature . It was also the first Nikon to use polycarbonate s in the building of the camera, and was considered by many people as the dawn of a new era for Nikon. This camera is powered by four AAA batteries, loaded from below, necessitating removal of the baseplate. A MB 3 battery pack could be used instead of the standard MB 4 enabling AA batteries to be used instead of AAA. The placement of the batteries meant that the tripod bush on the baseplate was extremely offset from the centre of the camera, the AH 3 tripod adapter could be used to rectify this but it added extra bulk to the camera. The F 301 can be manually preset for film speeds from ISO 12 to ISO 3200, or this can be left to the camera through the DX feature.

Xelibri was a fashion oriented range of mobile phones created by Siemens mobile in early 2003 .

The first Space on Earth 2003 Q2, Xelibri 1 to 4 collection with its Star Trek influences was designed in house by Siemens whilst the second Fashion Extravaganza 2003 Q4, Xelibri 5 to 8 collection was contracted out to IDEO design. Although the phones were designed by top designers, marketed as fashion accessories and sold at a high price the designs were strange and quite detached from what a fashion and style conscious consumer would be looking for in a mobile phone. Xelibri phones also lacked a recognizable brand name, the highly regarded Siemens logo only appeared on the battery cover of the phones. Expensive advertising and well placed sales stands in department stores did nothing to help the sales figures of the Xelibri range. Although on the outside the designs were eye catching and experimental the technology inside the phones was nothing more than low end unsophisticated Siemens models which lacked all but the most basic features voice and SMS . This, when coupled with strange keypad design made the phones quite difficult and cumbersome to use.

Her domain extended to protecting animal mothers, not just human ones. As one of the di indigetes , Rumina lacked the elaborate mythology and personality of later Roman deities, and was instead a more abstract, numina numinous entity.
