Start with the news release SV-1000 increases two-stroke engines' power output from Sunnen Products Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sunnen has introduced the SV-1000 vertical CNC honing machine, which allows manufacturers of outdoor power equipment to improve the durability and power output of small two-stroke engines.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Inventor Fusion Technology speeds time to market from Autodesk: "Autodesk is offering a free download of its Inventor Fusion Technology Preview on Autodesk Labs. ".
