Alias Eclipse. Eclipse was a professional 2D image editing program available on Silicon Graphics and Windows workstations. Designed to manipulate high-resolution images like digitized movie frames and photographs for print, it offered color correction tools, image processing effects, rudimentary paint features, and spline-based drawing and masking.

History
Eclipse was originally developed in the late 1980s by Full Color Computing, an early provider of photo retouch and color prepress software for Silicon Graphics workstations. Alias Research (later Alias Systems Corporation), a developer of professional 3D graphics applications for the SGI platform, purchased the rights to Eclipse in fall 1990. Alias developed Eclipse through the early to mid-1990s, releasing version 2.5 in 1995 with improvements to the speed of color correction, effects, and rendering.

Xyvision's Contex Prepress division purchased exclusive rights to Eclipse from Alias in 1996, and released version 3.0 the following year. Eclipse was subsequently sold to German developer Form & Vision GmbH, which continued development and ported it to the Windows platform. In 1999, Form & Vision released a demo of Eclipse 3.1.3 on the SGI platform which was limited to 1600 x 1600 pixel images, then ceased development of Eclipse on the SGI platform. Eclipse was thereafter developed exclusively for the Windows platform, culminating with version 3.1.4 in 2001. In the same year the firm went bankrupt.

Features
Eclipse was designed to work with very large images that could not be manipulated in real time on contemporary computer systems due to memory limitations, and thus allowed the user to make modifications to a lower-resolution copy of the original image in "proxy mode." Brush strokes, color corrections, and other edits were saved in proxy mode, then applied to the full-size image in post processing. This method also allowed for batch processing of a high-resolution image sequence using the edits applied to the original proxy image.

Other features included color correction and separation, warping, special effects, text, and shape masking. Wavelet image compression created by LuraTech was added to Eclipse 3.1.4

IBM 2821 Control Unit. The IBM 2821 Control Unit attaches card readers and card punches, and line printers to the IBM System/360 and IBM System/370 families of computers.
The devices attached may be a combination of:
 The IBM 2540 card reader and card punch;
 The IBM 1403 models 2, 3, 7 and N1 line printer; and
 The IBM 1404 model 2 line printer and bill feed printer.

The 2821 was originally advertised—in 1964, before System/360 shipped—as a controller for the IBM 1402 card reader/punch and the IBM 1403 and IBM 2201 printers.

Six models of the IBM 2821 Control Unit were available, as follows:
 Model 1 attaches one IBM 2540 and one IBM 1403;
 Model 2 attaches one IBM 1403;
 Model 3 attaches two or three IBM 1403s;
 Model 4 attaches one IBM 2540 and one IBM 1404, but only on IBM System/360 models 25, 30, 40 and 50;
 Model 5 attaches one IBM 2540 and two or three IBM 1403s; and
 Model 6 attaches one IBM 2540.

The 2821 is fully buffered, that is it has buffers large enough to hold an entire card to punch, an entire card read, or an entire print line for each attached device.  This frees the channel from having to meet the peripheral devices' tight timing requirements.

The control unit can be connected to either a byte multiplexer channel or a selector channel. It is made up of logically independent control units, but takes up only one of the eight control unit slots which can be connected to a channel. A two-channel switch is available, allowing the control unit to be connected to two channels, on one or two computer systems, controlled by manual switches or by programming.

The circuitry in the 2821 is largely older-technology IBM SMS, unlike much of the System/360 line, but later revisions were partially implemented in SLT or MST. As logic became cheaper, the functions of the 2821 were increasingly moved inboard to the central processor or outboard to the individual device. The 2821 was withdrawn from marketing in the United States in 1985.

PowerEsim. PowerEsim is an electronic circuit simulation software for online switched-mode power supply (SMPS)  and transformer design. It can carry out loss analysis at component and circuit level, simulation of board temperature, design verification, failure rate analysis and generate relevant reports.

One of the common circuit design simulation tool used is a SPICE simulator. This knowledge-oriented design approach tool requires a user to possess knowledge about it and about the module being simulated. Within a different kind of simulation, transformer design and simulation requires considerable knowledge of the physical concepts, although a transformer is just wires around a magnetic core.

To evaluate the feasibility of a user simulating a circuit without domain knowledge, PowerEsim was developed as a result-oriented approach simulation tool only requiring the BOM (Bill of Materials) and the topology used to perform the simulation.

PowerEsim also handles differential equations by using closed-form equations instead of numerical methods. Some approximations have been made to speed up calculation, leading to a steady-state simulation in PowerEsim claimed to take less than 0.1 second, 1,000 times faster than SPICE simulation. PowerEsim model components are available in the market.
