IMG (file format)
IMG, in computing, refers to binary files with the .img filename extension that store raw disk images of floppy disks, hard drives, or optical discs.
Overview
The .img filename extension is used by disk image files, which contain raw dumps of a magnetic disk or of an optical disc. Since a raw image consists of a sector-by-sector binary copy of the source medium, the actual format of the file contents will depend on the file system of the disk from which the image was created (such as a version of FAT). Raw disk images of optical media (such as CDs and DVDs) contain a raw image of all the tracks in a disc (which can include audio, data and video tracks). In the case of CD-ROMs and DVDs, these images usually include not only the data from each sector, but the control headers and error correction fields for each sector as well.
Since IMG files hold no additional data beyond the disk contents, these files can only be automatically handled by programs that can detect their file systems. For instance, a typical raw disk image of a floppy disk begins with a FAT boot sector, which can be used to identify its file system. Disc images of optical media are usually accompanied by a descriptor file which describes the layout of the disc, and includes information such as track limits which are not stored in the raw image file.

Ima (BT album)
Ima (今 ima, now) is the debut studio album by electronica artist BT. It was released in 1995. The album is considered a major stepping stone in trance music, popularizing a more progressive approach. A portion of "Nocturnal Transmission" is featured in the film The Fast and the Furious, for which BT also composed the score.
Ima was re-released in 1996 in a double disc format, featuring the single "Blue Skies", with vocals by Tori Amos, as well as its remix, "Blue Skies (The Delphinium Days Mix)". "Blue Skies" was previously featured in edited form on the soundtrack for the TV show Party of Five. This package also includes several singles released prior to the album, (several of which were originally mixed together in "Sasha's Voyage of Ima") as well as the b-sides to "Embracing the Sunshine" and "Nocturnal Transmission". Several of the tracks were edited to fit the format, and all songs segue into the next to create a non-stop mix.

Lumi (software)
lumi is a free, open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of Illumina expression and methylation microarray data. The project was started in the summer of 2006 and set out to provide algorithms and data management tools of Illumina in the framework of Bioconductor. It is based on the statistical R programming language.
Features
The lumi package provides an analysis pipeline for probe-level Illumina expression and methylation microarray data, including probe-identifier management (nuID), updated probe-to-gene mapping and annotation using the latest release of RefSeq (nuIDblast), probe-intensity transformation (VST) and normalization (RSN), quality control (QA/QC) and preprocessing methods specific for Illumina methylation data. By extending the ExprSet object with Illumina-specific features, lumi is designed to work with other Bioconductor packages, such as Limma and GOstats to detect differential genes and conduct Gene Ontology analysis.
Lumi (album)
Lumi is an album by Finnish avant-garde jazz composer, bandleader and drummer Edward Vesala recorded in 1986 and released on the ECM label in 1987.
Reception
Critical reception to the album has been divided.
