GE U28C. The U28C  locomotive was developed by General Electric from the U25C, with a slight increase in power of . A passenger-hauling variant, the U28CG, was also produced for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.

Development
General Electric built ten uprated U25Cs in 1965. Facing the competitive pressure of the second generation horsepower race, GE built these units with increased horsepower. The competitive 2750 horsepower Alco C628 had more horsepower and the 3000 horsepower Alco C630 was announced in July 1965. General Motors had the 3000 horsepower EMD SD40 demonstrators testing on several railroads. The increase in unit horsepower was happening that year.  The uprated units were built for three railroads that were already operating the U25C. The first uprated units were built for the Northern Pacific between May and July 1965. These were NP #2518-2520 and were rated at 2750 horsepower. Three more uprated U25Cs were built as Atlantic Coast Line #3011-3013 in December 1965. The ACL units were rated at 2800 horsepower. The last four uprated U25Cs were rated at 2800 horsepower and were built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in December 1965. These  were PRR #6516-6519. Six additional PRR U25Cs were uprated to 2800 horsepower: 6500–6503, 6510–6511. In early 1966 General Electric began offering the 2800 horsepower U28C. A total of 28 look-a-like U28Cs were built between February 1966 and July 1966 as Chicago Burlington and Quincy #562-577 and Northern Pacific #2800-2811. These early Phase I U28Cs shared the 64 foot 4 inch frame that was standard with the predecessor U25C.

A drawing of the proposed longer frame U28C is in the November 1965 issue of Trains Magazine. Starting in May 1966 GE began producing the U28C on a longer frame. The new length for these U28Cs was 67 feet 3 inches. These are the 43 Phase II units built for Louisville and Nashville, Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. The Phase II units used either the General Electric GT 598 Generator or the GTA 9 Alternator. The 10 Santa Fe U28CGs were also built on this longer frame. Starting in November 1966 and through mid 1967 GE built 24 look a like Phase I U30Cs that used the same carbody as the Phase II U28Cs.

Original owners
GE produced 71 U28C locomotives, not including ten U28CG passenger variants for the Santa Fe:

Preservation
Ex-Union Pacific  2804 is preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri. The rear of the locomotive has been cutaway to show the inner workings of a diesel locomotive.

Cache-only memory architecture. Cache only memory architecture (COMA) is a computer memory organization for use in multiprocessors in which the local memories (typically DRAM) at each node are used as cache.  This is in contrast to using the local memories as actual main memory, as in NUMA organizations.

In NUMA, each address in the global address space is typically assigned a fixed home node.  When processors access some data, a copy is made in their local cache, but space remains allocated in the home node.  Instead, with COMA, there is no home.  An access from a remote node may cause that data to migrate.  Compared to NUMA, this reduces the number of redundant copies and may allow more efficient use of the memory resources.  On the other hand, it raises problems of how to find a particular data (there is no longer a home node) and what to do if a local memory fills up (migrating some data into the local memory then needs to evict some other data, which doesn't have a home to go to).  Hardware memory coherence mechanisms are typically used to implement the migration.

A huge body of research has explored these issues.  Various forms of directories, policies for maintaining free space in the local memories, migration policies, and policies for read-only copies have been developed.  Hybrid NUMA-COMA organizations have also been proposed, such as Reactive NUMA, which allows pages to start in NUMA mode and switch to COMA mode if appropriate and is implemented in the Sun Microsystems's WildFire. A software-based Hybrid NUMA-COMA implementation was proposed and implemented by ScaleMP, allowing for the creation of a shared-memory multiprocessor system out of a cluster of commodity nodes.

Data source name. In computing, a data source name (DSN, sometimes known as a database source name, though "data sources" can comprise other repositories apart from databases) is a string that has an associated data structure used to describe a connection to a data source. Most commonly used in connection with ODBC, DSNs also exist for JDBC and for other data access mechanisms.  The term often overlaps with "connection string".  Most systems do not make a distinction between DSNs or connection strings and the term can often be used interchangeably.

DSN attributes may include, but are not limited to:

 the name of the data source
 the location of the data source
 the name of a database driver which can access the data source
 a user ID for data access (if required)
 a user password for data access (if required)

The system administrator of a client machine generally creates a separate DSN for each relevant data source.

Standardizing DSNs offers a level of indirection; various applications (for example: Apache/PHP and IIS/ASP) can take advantage of this in accessing shared data sources.

Types of data source name 
Two kinds of DSN exist:

 Machine DSNs – stored in collective configuration files (e.g., /etc/odbc.ini, ~/.odbc.ini) and/or system resources (e.g., Windows Registry HKLM\Software\ODBC\odbc.ini)
 File DSNs – stored in the filesystem with one DSN per file

These are further broken down into
 System DSNs – accessible by any and all processes and users of the system, stored in a centralized location (e.g., , )
 User DSNs – accessible only by the user who created the DSN, stored in a user-specific location (e.g., , )

Example of use 
Software (e.g., Crystal Reports, Microsoft Excel, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby) users can submit CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) queries to a data source by establishing a connection to the DSN.

ASP (VBScript) code to open a DSN connection might look like the following:

Dim DatabaseObject1
Set DatabaseObject1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DatabaseObject1.Open("DSN=example;")

In PHP using the PEAR::DB package to open a connection without an external DSN (a "DSN-less connection", i.e., using a Connection String), the code might resemble the following

require_once("DB.php");
//$dsn = "<driver>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>";
$dsn = "mysql://john:pass@localhost:3306/my_db";
$db = DB::connect($dsn);

PHP with PDO.
$dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=example";
$dbh = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);

In Perl, using the Perl DBI module, each driver has its own syntax for the DSN attributes. The only requirement that DBI makes is that all the information, except for username and password is supplied in a single string argument.

my $dsn = "DBI:Pg:database=finance;host=db.example.com;port=$port";
   $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port";
   $dsn = "DBI:Oracle:host=$host;sid=$sid;port=$port";
   $dsn = "DBI:SQLite:dbname=$dbfilename";

my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,'username','password');

IMAGE (database). IMAGE is a database management system (DBMS) developed by Hewlett-Packard and included with the HP 3000 minicomputer. It was the primary reason for that platform's success in the market. It was also sometimes referred to as IMAGE/3000 in its initial release, and later versions were known as TurboIMAGE, and TurboIMAGE/XL after the PA-RISC migration.

IMAGE is based on the network database model, in contrast to most modern systems which are based on the relational database model. A SQL (Structured Query Language) front-end processor was later added, offering users the ability to run SQL queries on existing databases. This produced IMAGE/SQL, the current name.

Overview
IMAGE consists of several utilities along with an API (referred to as "intrinsics" by the HP documentation):

 DBSCHEMA - Compile a source schema layout.  The source layout describes the tables (known as SETS) and columns (known as FIELDS).
 DBUTIL - Creates and performs maintenance functions on the database.
 QUERY - Generalized query tool for accessing any TurboIMAGE database.

The following is a sample list of the API calls used for application development.  These calls are supported by HP's compilers:  COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, SPL, PASCAL and C.

 DBFIND - Locates a record.
 DBGET - Retrieves a record.
 DBPUT - Adds a record.
 DBUPDATE - Updates a record.
 DBINFO - Provides information on the structure of the database.
 DBOPEN - Opens the database with a specified password to provide access rights to the application.

History
The significant highlights of IMAGE are:

 Originally released as IMAGE/3000 around 1972 as a $10,000 option, but later included free as part of the MPE operating system.
 Bundled with the HP Precision Architecture RISC Computers along with HP ALLBASE/SQL, a Relational DBMS, on the MPE/XL operating system.
 Several Fourth-generation programming language products (Powerhouse, Transact, Speedware, Protos) became available from third party vendors.
 New capabilities were added including the increase of storage capacity and increase of several internal limitations such as the number of SETS allowed in a database.  IMAGE/3000 was renamed TurboIMAGE due to these new capabilities.
 HP provided a Third Party Interface (TPI) to DISC's OMNIDEX and Bradmark's SUPERDEX products.
 HP announced the end of life for the HP3000 which included TurboIMAGE.
 Marxmeier released Eloquence which is schema and API compatible with TurboIMAGE and allows TurboIMAGE applications to run on Microsoft Windows and HP-UX.
 Stromasys released an HP3000 emulator allowing TurboIMAGE applications to be run on commodity hardware.

Image-stabilized binoculars. Image-stabilized binoculars are binoculars that have a mechanism for decreasing the apparent motion of the view due to binocular movement.
Such binoculars are designed to minimize image shaking in hand-held applications. Higher-power binoculars magnify the image more, but the image shift is also increased. This means that even minor hand movements can cause huge image shifts. Image stabilization technology in binoculars ensures instant adjustment of the image to compensate for the motion. Major brands making image stabilized binoculars include Canon, Fujinon, Nikon, Carl Zeiss, and Bushnell.

Several different mechanisms have been used for image stabilization.

Active systems
In these systems the change in attitude of the binoculars is sensed electronically, and some part of the system is changed to correct this offset. A lens group may be shifted, or the angle of a fluid filled prism may be changed.

Passive systems
In these systems there is no feedback from a sensor to the corrective element.  The whole binocular may be stabilized by use of a gyroscope, or the binocular prisms may be disengaged from the housings, allowing them to be unaffected by binocular movement.

Use
Image-stabilized binoculars are frequently used when viewing from a moving object such as a boat or plane. They are also very helpful with high powered binoculars.  Image stabilized binoculars have become popular with amateur astronomers.

Other image-stabilized optics
Image stabilization is also used in video and camera lenses.

Benitoite. Benitoite () is a rare blue barium titanium cyclosilicate mineral, found in hydrothermally altered serpentinite. It forms in low temperature, high pressure environments typical of subduction zones at convergent plate boundaries. Benitoite fluoresces under short wave ultraviolet light, appearing bright blue to bluish white in color. The more rarely seen clear to white benitoite crystals fluoresce red under long-wave UV light.

It was discovered in 1907 by prospector James M. Couch in the San Benito Mountains roughly halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Due to its similar color, Couch originally believed it to be sapphire, a variety of corundum. In 1909, a sample was sent to the University of California, Berkeley, where mineralogist Dr. George D. Louderback realized it was a previously unknown mineral. Corundum (sapphire) has a defined Mohs hardness of 9, while benitoite is much softer. He named it benitoite for its occurrence near the headwaters of the San Benito River in San Benito County, California.

Benitoite occurs in a number of isolated locations globally, but gemstone quality material has only been found in California at the Benito Gem Mine where it was first discovered. It has been correctly identified in Montana, Arkansas, Japan, and Australia although they formed under slightly different conditions and only grow large enough to be considered an accessory mineral. In 1985 benitoite was named as the official state gem of California.

Benitoite typically crystallizes hexagonally. Non-gem crystals of benitoite can have a very rare, six-pointed twinned form.

Associated minerals and locations

Benitoite typically occurs with an unusual set of minerals, along with minerals that make up its host rock. Frequently associated minerals include:  natrolite, neptunite, joaquinite, serpentine and albite.

Benitoite is a rare mineral found in very few locations including San Benito County, California, Japan and Arkansas. In the San Benito occurrence, it is found in natrolite veins within glaucophane schist within a serpentinite body. In Japan, the mineral occurs in a magnesio-riebeckite-quartz-phlogopite-albite dike cutting a serpentinite body.
