Abstract: The present invention relates to power modules for controlling an input current to provide an output current, in particular, to such a power module (100) comprising at least one semiconductor switch for controlling the input current and a circuit substrate. The circuit substrate (108, 110) has at least one input terminal for being connected to an input voltage and at least one output terminal for outputting the output voltage. The input terminal and the output terminal are connected to each other via a main current path (104) that is controlled by the semiconductor switch. Said power module further comprises at least one transient current path (102) with extremely low inductivity for carrying a transient current during a switching operation of the semiconductor switch. The main path for the continuous current has a low ohmic resistance, but does not have to be designed to have a specifically low inductance.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method to recover data includes annotating metadata entries in a journal to indicate changes by an application to an object stored in a continuous data protection environment. Each entry of the metadata corresponds to one of a unique group of DO stream data blocks or a unique group of UNDO stream data blocks. The method also includes determining a version of the object that meets criteria by searching the annotated entries and obtaining the version of the object that meets the criteria. In another aspect, a method to recover data includes receiving criteria to recover an object, determining a version of the object that meets the criteria by searching point-in-time images using a DO stream and an UNDO stream and obtaining the version of the object that meets the criteria.

Abstract: A portable drawing apparatus configured to act as an easel and/or desk includes a pair of upper support members each pivotally connected to a respective lower support member, and also each pivotally connected to a respective rear support member. In an operational configuration, the rear support members can project rearwardly in a plane substantially normal to a plane defined by two mutually parallel upper support members. A lower cross frame and upper cross frame are each connected to respective lower support members, and upper support members, and each further connected to the non-removable portion. A hinged lateral member, when configured in a locked position, defines the apparatus width. In a collapsed configuration, the distal portions of the upper and lower support members are configured to point in the same direction and form a bundle whose length is substantially less than that of the apparatus length in operational configuration.
