Singer (naval mine). The Singer was a naval mine made and deployed by the Confederacy during the American Civil War.  It was a manually laid moored contact mine.

Development
During the American Civil War, Matthew Fontaine Maury, a Confederate government official established the Torpedo Bureau and the Torpedo Corps in Richmond, Virginia to oversee the development and deployment of new types of naval mines. Maury was convinced that the only way to defend the coastlines against Union assaults was through the widespread use of naval mines. Mines were inexpensive and easily produced on a large scale. The low cost and large volume of mines produced would supplement the small naval forces of the Confederacy and make it possible to defend against the superior fleet of the Union navy. The efforts of the Torpedo Bureau and the Torpedo Corps proved to be worth the investment of the Confederacy. For the relative low cost of the mines they did a tremendous amount of damage to the Union forces, sinking a total of 27 Union naval vessels.

Features	
The most successful naval mine of the Confederacy is known as the ‘Singer’ mine, so-called because it was invented by a member of the family which owned and operated the Singer Corporation. The ‘Singer’ was a manually laid moored contact mine; it was set off when struck by an object with sufficient force to trigger the automatic fuse. The body of the mine was made from sheets of iron and was filled with a charge of 55-65 pounds of gunpowder. The automatic fuse consisted of a heavy metal cap that would be released by the force of a ship impacting it. As the cap was released it triggered a spring mechanism that struck a fulminating charge, in the form of a percussion cap, which detonated the main explosive. It was one of the first mines equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent an accidental explosion. While being handled and during the planting of the mine a safety pin prevented the spring from accidentally triggering the fulminating charge. This pin was removed after the mine was in position. The only major drawback of the ‘Singer’ was that the spring mechanism was exposed to the water. When deployed in salt water sea growth would eventually develop on the spring mechanism, effectively preventing it from striking the fulminating charge within the mine. This flaw in the design caused Confederate minefields, especially in tropical waters, to become inert after a period of time.

Critical Assessment of Prediction of Interactions. Critical Assessment of PRediction of Interactions (CAPRI) is a community-wide experiment in modelling the molecular structure of protein complexes, otherwise known as protein–protein docking.

The CAPRI is an ongoing series of events in which researchers throughout the community attempt to dock the same proteins, as provided by the assessors. Rounds take place about every six months. Each round contains between one and six target protein–protein complexes whose structures have been recently determined experimentally. The coordinates and are held privately by the assessors, with the co-operation of the structural biologists who determined them. The CAPRI experiment is double-blind, in the sense that the submitters do not know the solved structure, and the assessors do not know the correspondence between a submission and the identity of its creator.

LOADHIGH. In computing,  (abbreviated ) is an internal DOS command in COMMAND.COM that is used to load a program into the upper memory area (UMA) instead of conventional memory.

The command was introduced with MS-DOS 5.0 / PC DOS 5.0 in 1991, copying the built-in  command earlier introduced with DR DOS 5.0 in 1990. DR DOS 6.0 added support for this naming variant as well in 1991.

Overview
Due to design of the IBM PC, DOS suffered from what was known as the 640 KB barrier. The size of this memory area, known as conventional memory, was fixed and independent of the amount of system memory actually installed. Various schemes were developed to support extra memory (see also EMS, XMS) and DOS extenders, but conventional memory was still an issue due to compatibility issues. It was a scarce resource as many applications demanded a large part of this basic memory fragment at runtime. Therefore, it was often necessary to move high some TSR programs like the mouse driver or the disk caching driver (like SMARTDRV) prior to running a memory-hungry application. This was achieved by using  called with the program's name as the parameter.

To load TSRs high within CONFIG.SYS, the INSTALLHIGH directive must be used instead of the  command. The equivalent of  for device drivers is DEVICEHIGH (usable only within CONFIG.SYS).
These are also supported since DR DOS 6.0. DR DOS 5.0 and higher also support HIINSTALL and HIDEVICE, respectively.

Most modern operating systems now run in protected mode with support for an unsegmented (flat) memory model and do not have a 640 KB constraint.  and other methods of freeing conventional memory have largely become obsolete.

 is part of the Windows XP MS-DOS subsystem to maintain MS-DOS and MS OS/2 version 1.x syntax compatibility only. It is not available at all on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition and also no longer available in the command interpreter of newer Windows operating systems.

Dataupia. Dataupia was a supplier of data warehouse appliances.  Dataupia focuses on data warehousing for applications running on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server databases.  Dataupia's Satori Server included server computers, storage, and software.

History
Dataupia was founded in 2005 by Foster D. Hinshaw for analytics in "big data" applications such as for telecom and auto-reporting for the Internet of things.

A classic definition of the data warehouse focuses on data storage.  However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract, transform and load data, and to manage the dictionary data are also considered essential components of a data warehouse appliance system.  The Dataupia Satori Server provided all aspects of the data warehouse appliance in a single product.

The company has headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Binghamton, United Kingdom.  The company was privately held.

Dataupia's name is a portmanteau of the words "data", in reference to the data warehousing industry, and "utopia".  The combination of words is used by the company to imply ideal access to data.

The Dataupia flagship product, Satori Server, is a network-attached data warehouse appliance announced in 2007.  As an appliance, it includes an embedded copy of Linux, a database engine, an aggregation engine, built-in storage, and parallel processors. In contrast to other custom-assembly data warehouse appliances, the Satori Server worked with existing database management systems, rather than requiring them to be replaced. In theory, this would appeal to customers with a huge investment in databases and data warehouse and business intelligence applications.
Competitors included Teradata and IBM (which acquired Netezza in 2010).

In January 2009 Hinshaw temporarily left due to health problems, and Tony Sirianni became chief executive through November.
During the Great Recession, the company reduced its staff and by August 2009 was seeking a buyer for its assets.
By 2017, the company had not issued a press release since the 4.0 version of the product was announced in February 2011.

Lockheed Martin X-55. The Lockheed Martin X-55 Advanced Composite Cargo Aircraft (ACCA) is an experimental twinjet transport aircraft.  It is intended to demonstrate new air cargo-carrier capabilities using advanced composite materials. A project of the United States Air Force's Air Force Research Laboratory, it was built by the international aerospace company Lockheed Martin, at its Advanced Development Programs (Skunk Works) facility in Palmdale, California.

Design and development
The X-55 is a one-off aircraft intended to demonstrate the use of advanced composite materials in the fuselage of an otherwise conventional high-wing transport aircraft. There are no plans to place the X-55 into production.

Lockheed Martin's design for Advanced Composite Cargo Aircraft (ACCA) was chosen over Aurora Flight Sciences' design based on the Antonov An-72 in 2007.  The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B turbofans. The X-55 design is based on the existing Fairchild Dornier 328JET. The fuselage of that aircraft, which is constructed of aluminium alloys, was replaced aft of the entrance door with a newly designed fuselage. The new design makes extensive use of advanced composite materials, selected to allow out of autoclave curing at lower temperatures and pressures than previous materials. The new widened fuselage allows the loading of cargo through a rear ramp.

The new fuselage section is constructed as a single large component, including the vertical stabilizer. When attached to the existing nose section, the fuselage is 55 feet (16.8 m) long and 9 feet (2.74 m) diameter. The fuselage has upper and lower halves, each with a roughly-oval shape similar to a canoe. The halves are bonded to circular frames. The fuselage section ahead of the entrance door consists of the existing (metal) 328J component, with fasteners used to bring the forward and new aft sections together.

As of April 2008, the fuselage was being fabricated. The first flight of the modified aircraft was expected during the winter of 2008/2009.  However, due to a "glitch" during fabricating the composite fuselage, that schedule slipped.  The delay was caused by an unsatisfactory bond of the skin on the lower fuselage, which required a second fuselage to be fabricated.

The first flight was completed at Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs facility (Air Force Plant 42) in Palmdale, California on June 2, 2009 by the Air Force Research Laboratory in conjunction with Lockheed Martin.  In October 2009, the ACCA demonstrator was designated X-55A by the USAF. Over the course of the program, 15 to 20 flights were expected. Furthermore, it was estimated that the vehicle was built for half the cost of a conventional design for a similar aircraft.

Aircraft on display

As of September 12, 2014, the X-55 aircraft is on display at the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark in Palmdale, California.

XMDF. XMDF (eXtensible Model Data Format) is a library providing a standard format for the geometric data storage of river cross-sections, 2D/3D structured and unstructured meshes, geometric paths through space, and associated time data. XMDF uses HDF5 for cross-platform data storage and compression. It was initiated in Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and is developed by Aquaveo (formerly the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) at Brigham Young University).
API includes interfaces for C/C++ and Fortran.

An overview of the format was published by the ERDC in 2007. More recent documentation is available online at https://www.xmswiki.com/wiki/XMDF. A binary format was chosen for the data in order to improve performance and data storage as compared with more traditional ASCII grids.  The group considered both the NetCDF and HDF5 data formats, and chose HDF5 because it has more flexibility for data storage, compression and data mining.  It also supports data folders and data structures, making it more customizable.

The modeling format is used by hydrologic modeling software such as TUFLOW, SMS, GMS, and WMS.

Kamov V-100. The V-100 was a projected side-by-side twin-rotor compound helicopter combat aircraft from Kamov. It had a pusher propeller located behind the rear tailplane, rotors mounted on the tips of its wings and two turbines mounted above the central fuselage, to have the aircraft exceed a projected speed of 400 km/h. Integral gun armament was planned to consist of two mobile AO-9 single barrel derivatives of the GSh-23 (one on each side) or a single fixed AO-10 (early version of the GSh-30-1). Other weapons would have included the Kh-25 missile and other stores on two high capacity fuselages and a total of six underwing hardpoints with a combined warload of up to 3000 kg. This project was abandoned and only one model of the aircraft exists.
