omniomni/omni-engineering huggingface dataset:
Import and export of data. The import and export of data is the automated or semi-automated input and output of data sets between different software applications. It involves "translating" from the format used in one application into that used by another, where such translation is accomplished automatically via machine processes, such as transcoding, data transformation, and others.  True exports of data often contain data in raw formats otherwise unreadable to end-users without the user interface that was designed to render it. 

Import and export of data shares semantic analogy with copying and pasting, in that sets of data are copied from one application and pasted into another. In fact, the software development behind operating system clipboards (and clipboard extender apps) greatly concerns the many details and challenges of data transformation and transcoding, in order to present the end user with the illusion of effortless copy and paste between any two apps, no matter how internally different. The "Save As" command in many applications requires much of the same engineering, when files are saved as another file format. 

The ability to import and export data (or lack of such ability) has large economic implications, because it can be resource-intensive to input data in non-automated ways (such as manual rekeying), and because lack of interoperability and data portability between systems unable to import or export data between each other causes stovepiping, lack of opportunity and efficiencies such as those seen in, for example, mash-ups, and may not suffice in its ability to search for information as enabled by tools such as grep.

J & J Ultralights Tukan. The J & J Ultralights Tukan () is an American ultralight trike that was marketed by J & J Ultralights, Leading Edge Air Foils and Kemmeries Aviation. The aircraft was supplied as a kit, as parts and as plans for amateur construction.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of . The aircraft has a standard empty weight of . It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high wing, weight-shift controls, an open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its  span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. The landing gear uses fiberglass rods for mainwheel suspension and the nosewheel features a drum brake. The pilot is accommodated on a seat that can be quickly converted into a tandem second seat. The standard wing supplied was a J & J single-surface wing, but other wings of suitable gross weight can be used. The specified powerplant is the  Rotax 447 twin-cylinder, two-stroke, single-ignition aircraft engine.

Assembly time from the kit is about 30 hours. The aircraft can be disassembled for ground transport in a van or pickup truck or storage by one person in 25 minutes. The Tukan can be used for crop spraying and also hang glider towing. Thirty examples were reported as completed and flying in February 2000.

MFI BA-12 Sländan. The MFI BA-12 Sländan is a single seat ultralight of pod and high boom configuration and with a butterfly tail. It was designed and built in Sweden in the 1980s and led to a two-seat, slightly larger, development called the BA-14.

Design and development

The Sländan () was the first Swedish microlight apart from glider based types. It is built from composite materials, with a square section beam formed in two halves supporting the engine well ahead of the wing leading edge and extending aft continuously to the tail. The wings, rectangular in plan and with a high aspect ratio (10:1), are attached to the beam with dihedral of 1.5°. Ailerons cover 30% of the trailing edge. The wing has two pressed spars, foam filled glass fibre ribs and Kevlar filled glass fibre sandwich skins. The butterfly tail surfaces are also rectangular and assisted by a short ventral fin with the same chord as the tailplane.

The round nosed, single seat cabin is formed from six bonded pieces and mounted on the boom with its windscreen at the wing leading edge, placing the pilot below the wing at about one quarter chord. The sides are normally open though complete enclosure is an option. On each side a forward leaning bracing strut runs from the lower rear cabin to the front wing spar. The Sländan has a short, fixed, tricycle undercarriage with a steerable nosewheel; the mainwheels, fitted with brakes, are mounted on straight steel cantilever legs from the lower fuselage. There is a protective tailskid on the tip of the underfin.

The prototype Sländan was initially powered by a ( König SD 570 4-cylinder two-stroke engine though there were plans to replace this with a Lotus Magnum 2.25 when this type became available.  At least three examples have been fitted with Rotax engines.

The Sländan first flew in 1984 and by February 1985 MFI were assembling five more. It was agreed that later aircraft should be produced by the Royal Swedish Aero Club using MFI's moulds and tools. It was intended to market the Sländan in both flyaway and kit form. At about the same time, in a collaboration between MFI and FFK Aerotech, Andreasson was developing a slightly larger, two seat version called the FFV Aerotech BA-14 Starling.

Operational history
Three Rotax powered, Swedish registered Sländans appear on the mid-2010 civil aircraft registers of Europe excluding Russia.

Aircraft on display
Sländan SE-YKA is on display at the Aeroseum at Gothenburg City Airport.

Brown-Young BY-1. The Brown-Young BY-1, also called the Columbia Sesquiplane and the Model 2, was a prototype sesquiplane from Columbia Aircraft Co.

Design and development
Richard E. Young was the inventor of Spiralloy, a directional glass fibre composite material used in high-strength applications. Together with Willis C. Brown he designed and built the BY-1, a four-seat equivalent to the two-seat Luscombe Phantom parasol monoplane. After completion, a smaller lower wing was mounted below the fuselage, converting it to a sesquiplane with backward staggered wings. The lower wing also housed the retractable landing gear main wheels.

The wings were fabric covered, while the fuselage was of all-metal construction and supported the non-retractable tailwheel. A single Jacobs radial engine in the nose drove a two-bladed propeller.

Operational history
The engine from the BY-1 was later installed in the prototype MB-10 trainer. The BY-1 was scrapped at White Rock Airport in Dallas, Texas for materials during the Second World War.

Rainer Moormann. Rainer Moormann (born 1950) is a German chemist and nuclear whistleblower. He grew up in Osnabrück. After finishing highschool he studied physical chemistry in Braunschweig and received a doctor's degree with Raman spectroscopic and theoretical investigations on hydrogen bonds in liquids.

Since 1976 he had been working at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, doing research on safety problems with pebble bed reactors (especially with the AVR reactor), fusion power and spallation neutron sources.

Papers 
In 2008 Moormann published a critical paper on the safety of pebble bed reactors, which raised attention among specialists in the field, and managed to distribute it via the media, facing considerable opposition.

In 2020, Moormann co-authored a paper that argued in favor of keeping the by then six German nuclear power plants running in order to reduce CO2 emissions.

Whistleblower award 
For doing this despite the occupational disadvantages he had to accept as a consequence, Moormann was awarded the whistleblower award of the Federation of German Scientists (VDW) and of the German section of the International Association of Lawyers against Nuclear Arms (IALANA).

William F. Talbot. William Fletcher Talbot (October 29, 1903 – November 1967) was a research chemist and the founding director of SRI International, a position he held from 1946 to 1947.

Early life and education
Born in Loup City, Nebraska in 1903, Talbot received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the State University of Iowa.

Career
Initially a teacher, Talbot joined E. I. du Pont as a research chemist. He was then a research chemist for A. D. Little. He was later the technical director of the Sun Chemical Company (formerly the General Printing Ink Company) and president of its Fine Chemicals Division. While on leave from Sun in 1944, he was the assistant director of research and development for the Office of Strategic Services. During his career, he developed melamine resin, a type of plastic used for molding and casting. Talbot held several patents.

Unofficially appointed in September 1946 and officially appointed in January 1947, he was SRI International's first director. He helped establish the organization and set its early priorities. Due to a dispute with Stanford University president Donald Tresidder, he offered his resignation and reluctantly left SRI in December 1947. Talbot believed SRI should seek contracts from governmental organizations (and be what is now considered a defense contractor); Tressider believed the organization should be independent from government interference.

Talbot went on to work for the Rubberset Company and later for Bristol Myers. He died in 1967.

Elbrus-2S+. Elbrus-2S+ () is a multi-core microprocessor based on the Elbrus 2000 architecture developed by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST). There are multiple reports regarding the evolution of this technology for the purpose of import substitution in Russia, which was raised by several ministries in July 2014, due to economic sanctions in response to 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine. In December 2014, it was announced that Mikron Group started pilot production of a dual-core variant of this microprocessor called Elbrus-2SM () using a 90 nanometer CMOS manufacturing process in Zelenograd, Russia.

Technology
The Elbrus-4S CPU uses a VLIW instruction set where it can perform up to 23 instructions per clock cycle and is reported to have support for Intel x86 emulation through a virtual machine.
When programs are built for Elbrus 2000 native mode, the compiler determines how the different operations shall be distributed over the 23 computing units before saving the final program. This means that no dynamic scheduling is needed during runtime, thus reducing the amount of work the CPU has to perform every time a program is executed. Because static scheduling only needs to be performed one time when the program is built, more advanced algorithms for finding the optimal distribution of work can be employed.

Specifications

South Bridge

The south bridge for the Elbrus 2000 chipset, which connects peripherals and bus to the CPU is developed by MCST. It is also compatible with the MCST-R1000.

Applications
In December 2012, Kraftway announced that it will deliver an Elbrus based PC together with its partner MCST.

In August 2013, Kuyan, Gusev, Kozlov, Kaimuldenov and Kravtsunov from MCST has published an article based on their experience with building and deployment of Debian Linux for the Elbrus computer architecture. It was done using a hybrid compiler toolchain (cross and native), for Elbrus-2S+ and Intel Core 2 Duo.

In December 2014, an implementation of the OpenGL 3.3 standard was demonstrated by running the game Doom 3 BFG Edition on an Elbrus-4S, clocked at 720 MHz, using a Radeon graphics card with 2 gigabytes of video memory.

In April 2015, MCST announced two new products based on the Elbrus-4S CPU: One 19-inch rack server with four CPUs (16 cores) and one personal computer.

In December 2015, the first shipment of PCs based on VLIW CPU Elbrus-4s was made in Russia.

In June 2024, the “Elbrus-2S3 (Эльбрус-2С3) microprocessor” has resurfaced on the Russian market. This is a nona-core("CPU-core×2" + "3D・GPU-core×1" + "2D・GPU-core×2" + "VPU-core×4") CPU manufactured with a 16nm process. This is the cut down version of the 16-core Elbrus-16S, which might also resurface at some point if there's enough market demand for this to make sense.

In September 2024, The MCST company presented “Elbrus-2S3 (Эльбрус-2С3) microprocessor” at the 10th anniversary Russian forum "Microelectronics 2024".

Xi'an University of Science and Technology. The Xi'an University of Science and Technology () is a provincial public university in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. It is affiliated with the Province of Shaanxi, and co-funded by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government and the Ministry of Emergency Management.

The earliest predecessor of the school was the Mining and Metallurgy Department of the School of Engineering of Peiyang University (北洋大学工学院采矿冶金科) established in 1895. In 1938, the department became the Department of Mining and Metallurgy of Northwest Polytechnic College (西北工学院矿冶系), and in 1957 it was merged into Xi'an Jiaotong University. In 1958, the Mining Department of Xi'an Jiaotong University was separated and established as an independent Xi'an Mining College (西安矿业学院). In 1998, the school implemented "co-construction by the central and local governments, with local management as the mainstay" and was transferred to Shaanxi Province. The school was renamed Xi'an Science and Technology College (西安科技学院) in 1999 and the Xi'an University of Science and Technology in 2003.

The school has two campuses: one in Beilin and one in Lintong.

Current status of the Campus 
At present, Xi'an University of Science and Technology has two campuses. One of them is the old campus, which is located at No. 58, North Section of Yanta Road, Xi'an. The other campus is the newly-built Lintong Campus, which is divided into two campuses, Lishan and Qinhan. The university is now gradually focusing its attention on the new campus. The previous policy was that undergraduate and first-year graduate students attended classes on the new campus. The remaining grades attended the main campus in Xi'an. Starting with the class of 2012, undergraduates will be on the Lintong Campus and graduate students will be on the Yanta Campus. The university covers an area of 1,125,200 square meters and is divided into two campuses, Yanta and Lintong. There are 19 faculties (departments). There are more than 23,000 full-time students enrolled in doctoral and master's degree programs and undergraduate programs. Currently, graduate students attend classes at Yanta Campus and undergraduates at Lintong Campus.
