On Tuesday, Shares of Ally Financial Inc (NYSE:ALLY), lost -0.35% to $19.80.
Ally Financial, Braun Ability and Superior Van & Mobility joined together to donate a wheelchair accessible vehicle to a student and his family. The companies were inspired by the efforts of the local Mt. Washington community, which over the last several months had been raising funds to support Travis Holbert and his family’s need for more suitable transportation.
The companies presented a Braun Ability Dodge side-entry wheelchair van to Holbert and his parents during a surprise ceremony at Crossroads Elementary School. In addition to being a surprise to Holbert, the ceremony served as a way to thank the school for their fundraising efforts, which had collected more than $5,000 for the Team Travis fund. The fund was created by Teresa Cox, Kim Thomas, Becky Keown, Cory Hall and Brittany Jessie, teachers at Crossroads Elementary School. With the vehicle donation from Ally, Braun Ability and Superior Van & Mobility, the funds can be used for other ongoing expenses, rather than for the vehicle purchase.
“Not many people understand how important having reliable, accessible transportation is to a young man like Travis,” said Greg Kiser, vice president of sales at Braun Ability, the Indiana-based global leader in accessible transportation. “We were inspired by the way the school came together to support him, and we are privileged to assist make life easier for this deserving family.”

Shares of Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS), inclined 0.05% to $21.72, during its last trading session.
Cadence Design Systems, declared that it has received a Customers’ Choice Award for a paper focused on IP for automotive applications at TSMC’s recent Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) Ecosystem Forum. The paper, titled “Building Silicon IP and Subsystems for Automotive Infotainment and ADAS Applications,” was developed and presented by Charles Qi, senior design engineering architect for Cadence.
The award is based on surveys accomplished by conference attendees. The paper can be viewed and downloaded at TSMC.com.
The paper talked about many of the issues that face designers of electronics for next-generation automobiles, counting designing for in-car networks, functional safety, high-performance memory and I/O, infotainment, and ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems).
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. develops, sells, leases, and licenses electronic design automation (EDA) software, emulation and prototyping hardware, verification intellectual property (VIP), and design intellectual property (design IP) for semiconductor and electronics systems industries worldwide.
Finally, Shares of Mentor Graphics Corp (NASDAQ:MENT), ended its last trade with 2.10% gain, and closed at $18.98.
Mentor Graphics Corp., declared that the Veloce emulation platform, specifically the Code link™ offering, now supports the debug of designs built with Andes Core processors, such as N10 and N13. Andes Technology Corporation is a leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores. Over 600 million Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) containing its CPU cores have been shipped by Andes customers.
With Code link support, developers using the Andes Core processors can complete designs months sooner by moving critical software tasks to the pre-silicon stage. The Code link tool allows a software developer to enjoy a traditional software debug experience when running software on a design with the Veloce platform. Unlike traditional software debug methods on emulation, which tend to be too slow for most software developers, the Code link offering delivers the performance demanded by advanced software teams. The Code link solution captures the software verification results from the emulator then shifts the debug to a workstation so that many developers can debug at the same time. Moving the debug task offline marks an important methodology shift for software verification. Because the Code link tool is non-intrusive, it enables detailed performance and power analysis not possible with other debug methods.
“Code link support for the Andes Core processors lets our customers get to silicon production sooner,” said Charlie Su, CTO & Senior VP, Andes Technology. “It also enables a greater degree of performance and power optimization at the system level not achievable with the traditional design cycle.”
Mentor Graphics Corporation provides electronic design automation software and hardware solutions to automate the design, analysis, and testing of electro-mechanical systems, electronic hardware, and embedded systems software.
